Can't go below 19% brightness - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I updated to Pie today and everything is pretty alright except the adaptive brightness. It is working fine except for one thing - I'm in my bed, ready to fall asleep, all lights turned off and it will never go below 19% brightness. At first I thought that it's just a part of it learning, but as soon as I move the brightness slider all the way down to the minimum it just goes back to 19%. Is there a fix for this?

Disable adaptive brightness.... Only way to get to 0%

So is that a bug then or is it working as intended?

It's a known bug,report it via the feedback app in order to get it fixed.

This is yet to be fixed, unbelievable.

Very annoying issue when you are doing nighttime reading on the phone.

It seems this is still a problem waiting for a fix after all this time

[Q] Priority notification mode turning off on its own, even on "Indefinitely"?

[Q] Priority notification mode turning off on its own, even on "Indefinitely"?
The last few nights I've noticed that when I wake up, my phone is no longer in priority notification mode. At night, I set it to priority only and choose "indefinitely"...even verifying that it's on that setting by going back to it...and when I wake up, it's in normal mode.
I have no "Down Time" hours set and see no other settings that seem to imply turning it off automatically...
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks!

Yes I'm having the same issue as you described. Noticed it 2 nights ago and thought I was disabling it in my sleep, lol.
Any work arounds? I'm thinking of doing a factory reset but not until I've exhausted all possible solutions. Hope this is an actual issue and not just 1 or 2 stray scenarios

I never figured it out. Switched back to using Light Flow for notifications...

Okay last night I uninstalled Light Flow which seemed to have been the problem causing this behavior. It seems to automatically want to disable priority mode but I don't know what exactly is triggering it, but uninstalling Light Flow seemed to have retained priority mode all night long with no issues upon waking up.
I also updated my review on the Play Store to address the issue, hoping for a fix soon. Hopefully you figure out your problem, mine was caused by a notifications app from what I've tested so far. Will see if it holds up tonight as well.

Having same issue, no additional notification apps installed. Stock android on nexus 6 no root or anything yet. Thought I was loosing my mind thinking I never set it. Happens almost every night. Seems like a bug.
I'm having the opposite. On boot, priority mode is enabled even though it was off on shutdown. I turn it off then throughout the day I notice it come on again. I haven't been able to track anything down yet. I don't use lightflow.
Are there any logs that I can see that might tell me what is turning it on? There are no Downtime schedules.

So I finally got tired of Light Blow being buggy on the Nexus 6 and uninstalled it a few days ago...two nights in a row I set priority to "indefinitely" and when I woke up I found it had been turned off...so I don't think it's Light Flow causing the problem.

[FIX available] Bottom part of the touchscreen stops working

Solution:
Go to Settings (if you're stuck in an app, use the button in your notification panel)
Go to 'System' (try tapping above the broken screen area)
Go to 'About this phone'
That should be all that has to be done! Do note: this fix isn't permanent. Let's hope Nokia fixes this.
Old thread:
Hello all!
When i woke up today and unlocked my phone (while an app is open) the bottom part (starting just above the nav-buttons) of my touchscreen just stops working.
I've had this problem a couple times (at most once per day) since updating from Oreo.
The solution to this problem seems to just to reboot the phone.. (This won't fix it permanently, sadly)
I'm asking if anyone else has this same problem, because i don't know the source of this problem.. (Maybe its because of the app not being P compatible?)
Thanks!
Hi, I have the same problem after the last update (september). Android Pie beta. Almost every morning i have to restart ..
Before the update was enough to just torn off/on the screen .
i don't have this problem on TA-1046 with Pie DP2-DP4.1 or Pie stable... maybe some incompatible apps? you use some for changing NavBar/Gesture area?
although i use XDA NavigationGesture what replace NavBar/Gesture with own, still not having problem, maybe you can try too this replacement, have many more function/settings that stock Pie gesture
for u its bottom touch screen is not working , but for me top of my touch screen isnt working .. and iam facing some serious problems after updating to pie . my phone restarts all of a sudden while charging , app crashes and more , hope hmd fixes this kind of issues in upcoming oct security patch update .

Issue with charging
I am having a charging issue. My phone usb and adapter is working fine with other phones. But when I connect my Nokia 7 Plus below 50%,My phone shows charging And when I tap the screen it doesn't charge. It occurs couple of time. And then It becomes normal and shows rapid charge after 55%. My charging port is fine when I connect it with my Pc usb port. some how the rapid charge doesn't respond. Does anyone have this problem?

What is real time for charge? Rapidcharging is disabled while you activated LCD
Yeah I'm facing similar issues, or did... I'm not sure... but it's been a non-issue for the past ~36 hours now. Here's to hoping it's not an issue any longer. I speculated it might be adaptive battery related somehow, so I tried rebooting my phone just before going to bed Sunday night, but my navbar still worked Monday morning, and this Tuesday it's still working in fact. I did this to test if it stopped working based on time since last reboot, or because some background process being killed due to adaptive battery/doze putting the phone to sleep. But based on my recent experience I think my hypothesis can be rejected. And I'm still not sure what caused it.

Same for me ta-1046, happened to me twice now. bottom part of screen stops reacting to touch. reboot fixes it.
Hmm... After playing around in the settings while having this problem active, for some reason, going to the phone info section just fixed it... I'm not sure if going there actually did that. needs more testing, I suppose.

Huh, I'll be damned. When my nav bar was frozen this morning I went into the "about phone" section in the menu, and, lo and behold, my nav bar sprang back to life instantly. Now it might still just be a coincident of course, but it's certainly interesting, and could potentially be a fix where you don't have to reboot.

Capture of
I managed to capture a video of the bounds of the touch-registration when the bottom 1,5 centimeter of the screen stops registering.

Same problem for me after upgrading a couple of days ago. Bottom of the screen (navbar and a bit more) is not accessible. Always happens after a night charging.
Going to the "About phone" menu fixes it. Thanks!
I have seen reports of people with other phones saying this is due to the setup wizard being active and preventing using the navigation bar. Tried some suggested adb commands without success. I will still try to disable the setup wizard app and report back.
IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!

This might help getting a quicker fix from Nokia.
Looks like the recent October patch still has this issue.
Would be nice if i can get a logcat this issue, but given this issue gets triggered after hours of inactivity, it would take a looong time to sift through the log.
Maybe there's a way to trigger it without waiting?
I can try logging when i do the "about phone" fix, will come back to this.
same isue here.. after chsrging at night nav bar bottom inch not responsive.. will try the phone info thing in the morning... is this software related ? will there be a patch??

Audio stops when screen sleeps

I have a Moto G6, Android 8.1, rooted, and I'm having an annoying issue I haven't been able to Google the solution to. When my screen goes to sleep the audio stops almost right away. This is true for both streaming music and downloaded content (podcasts, audiobooks), so I think it's some battery saving setting I can't find rather than network related. Let me know if any of you have solved this issue or have suggestions. Thanks!

Are you using Magisk? If so, try disabling it and listen to audio while the screen is off. If it doesn't stop, it's Magisk.
I had a similar issue on a Pie GSI where the audio would skip while the screen is off. I haven't used Magisk since.
Yeah, I'm using Magisk. Tried uninstalling it but the issue is still happening. After screen goes black audio is fine for about 30s then skips and stops. Not sure what else it could be...

Check in the specific apps setting under settings, apps, whichever app, and check to see if it says battery optimization. If it's optimized, try switching to not optimized[
Or if you have ambient display disabled, switch it on, worked for me

I've got battery optimization turned off for the 3 apps I'm testing this with, but still having the same problem. I'm not finding "ambient display" in my settings (Android 8.1), but I went into "LiveDisplay" and I have a setting called "Display mode" that was set to "automatic." I switched this to "Off" and the problem went away! Thanks for your help.

I spoke too soon and the problem persists. Any other ideas what might be causing this? It stutters a bit and then goes silent right after the screen goes black. Real deal breaker for listening to podcasts and audiobooks on my long commute, so I'd appreciate any solution you all can think of. Thanks!

It sounds like what was happening to me with YouTube. Every time my screen would go to sleep, it would start stuttering. I guess it was doze causing it and whitelisting it made it stop. I wonder if switching live display to on would be any different? What magisk modules are you using? I know GMS doze and sysconfig patcher will cause that, because YouTube is a Google app

I seem to have it resolved right now. I've got live display OFF and I exempted my 3 audio apps from battery optimization. I've completely uninstalled Magisk though, so I'm not sure if I'll cause the problem again when I re-root. Maybe I should go back to using SuperSU rather than Magisk (?)

This audio problem is back. I didn't change any settings. Live Display is off, audio apps are not optimized in terms of battery. All I did was reboot my phone. Was working fine. I can't figure out what I'm missing but it's a really annoying problem. Any ideas?

AOD to turn off in pocked

Do you think this will be implented? Also pocket mode isn't availible. How come? We could save tons of battery consumption if AOD just would turn off when the phone is covered. Also any suggestions of a temporary solution to this would be welcome.

My Mi 9 AOD turns off by itself when put in dark places. It turns on again after light comes. So when its in pocket, it should turn off too. I am using rom miui global beta 9.4.26
As described in the aod description too. Although its not instantly turn off like samsung phone, it still useful for saving battery..

Question Can't turn off always on display

I've tried everything to get rid of the FP, it just won't go.

I even went so far as to disable the system AOD apk via an apk disabler tool & that did not work.
IDK if you ever found the actual toggle to turn it off......I finally found it by selecting the search result in Settings.
I typed in Always & stopped there,finding "Always-On Display".
The toggle is at the very top of the page (FWIW,I missed this earlier when in the settings,it was easy for me to overlook the toggle in dark mode).
If you've already tried this & it's still coming on,here's what I'm trying for the next day or so:
Turn Always-On Display back on & set a scheduled time for one minute.
For example,I've got it turning on at 4:00 A.M. & turning off at 4:01 A.M.
ATM,option 2,the scheduled on/off time,seems to be working.
EDIT;after a few minutes,AOD is coming back on.
This is annoying....... Not looking good as a keeper,not liking OxyColor OS at all,what a mess compared to the OP7T Pro.
Not just this,but,the settings layout (for individual app settings is a trainwreck & power/performance options not sticking,keeps reverting back to out-of-box settings.
Well I think I found a permanent fix for this...it's actually a bug (in my case anyway)
I was forced to wipe my phone, which was a huge pain due to a problem with a mod I'd installed..
Anyway on boot I set everything back up then realised it's got AOD on by default and I went a turned it off.
Low and behold it stayed off..no need to do anything.
So what I think has happened is the update that came recently (11_A.12) that could have caused issues, always good to wipe after an update.
I honestly don't know if this will fix things for you, but it did for me.
Couple that with the fact that I'm now getting unbelievable battery life...I think it's maybe a good idea to at least try, you may not fix your AOD but you may get better battery. As I did, I think you'll probably get both.
Here's a bunch of pics from the last 24 hours, midnight on Thursday evening /start of Friday up till now.
Absolutely amazing.

I just got the 1st system update for the T-Mobile US version.
The AOD option to turn it off is now working.
Here's what is/was strange, pre-update:
The only way I could see/access the Always-On Display settings/toggle was to have the stock OnePlus Launcher as the default home app.
Even then, AOD stayed on, whether toggled on or off.
I was able to figure this out from prior experience with the original Oppo Find X & VIVO NEX.
Very strange that certain (seemingly unrelated) settings would be hidden due to choice of home launcher,but,apparently,BBK doesn't see this as an issue/bug(feature, LOL) that needs to be addressed, guessing this "feature" is persistent on the home market China models/firmware.
Glad it was cleaned up for the T-Mobile US update.
On a somewhat related note, pre-update, I could not find a way to choose "No Lock Screen". I looked in the usual place to find such & it was not available, AFAIK.
Now, post-update, that setting is found in "Developer Options". (Why?????? LOL)
On an unrelated note, post-update, another bug has apparently been taken care of for the T-Mobile US version :
T-Mobile bloatware apps now stay disabled, if chosen to do so. Pre-update, they would re-appear after a reboot.
With these bug fixes, my outlook on keeping this phone has definitely changed for the positive. I still have about 10 days remaining before T-Mobile's buyer's remorse return window closes.
