Screen Dimming Temporary Fix

After Oreo update, it seems there's annoying bug/feature that automatically dims my screen when using camera, Facebook, chrome, pubg mobile etc.
I tried one temporary solution for that bug which actually works on my Huawei P10.
Let me know it this solution will work on your devices.
1. Turn-off Power Saving Mode
2. Go to Go to System>Developer Options>Increase Readability Under Sunlight> Toggle Off
3. Then restart and check your apps if it still auto dimming
And if you want permanently freeze or delete power genius...that solved my problem.
But I think because I delete it now in my power usage, software ia not showing...just hardware.
I dont know if its because I delete that or was a bug that I didn't notice))
where is developer options?

Thanks for all support
hello. I do not know why but it does not help me. only locking and then re-unlocking the screen restores the normal backlight and does not dim afterwards.sorry no good English.use Google translator. Olo
it doesnt help for me. any ide of this???
Works on my P10. Thanks!
Doesn't work on my Huawei Nova 3i
It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).
If you disabled animations in developer options, enable them again (0,5x for exanple) and see the magic.
NO more dimming at all.
Hi - I see this thread was originally written 2yrs ago, but I currently have this 'screen dimming in app' problem with my P10 Plus. It started in the last couple of months and may be related to a software update - I'm currently on EMUI 9.1.0.
The Developer option on this thread unfortunately didn't resolve the problem for me (perhaps that's not longer relevant now).
Can anyone offer any other advice?l to resolve this?
Thanks.

Apps in the background disappearing in tasker

I don't know if its an android pie issue or samsung S10+ issue but coming from a Note 9 on android oreo I notice my apps running in the background disappears in tasker. Even if i locked them in place from closing. I had like 8 apps open then few hours later only 4 was available in the tasker. I'm currently set on "high performance mode" and both "auto optimization" and "adaptive battery" is toggle off.

Dark Mode available?

According to the rumors Android Pie do have this dark mode feature.
Is the dark mode available for this device? If yes how to enable it?
If no will do they implement that later?
I couldn't find it in the standard settings. Activated "Night Mode" under the developer options, but most of the screens are still bright and not dark. I hope it will be implemented very soon and also root and twrp.

Dark Theme keeps switching off

I keep having Dark Theme switching off when I connect to Android Auto in My 2020 Kia Soul. It happens about 50% of the time. I notice when it brings up Google Maps and it is in Light Theme. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Or have suggestions on how to correct this?
Stock, unlocked from Google Store & running on T-Mobile
Dark theme is heavily tied to the messages app, and when Android auto accesses messages it overrides the system theme with the current Android auto theme. There's no know did as I'm aware of, besides using a substrantum theme.

Try override force dark on developer options
This is nothing new. Every time I connect to android auto, dark theme is turned off.... It did this on all my pixels
Enable developer options in android auto, and then select it to be always dark.
There is also a setting to make it respect the phone, instead of the car, should you wish to do it that way,

What he's saying is the theme on the phone changes from dark to light when Android auto is connected. He's not talking about the display on the infotainment system. I just started using an Android 10 rom on my 5t, and today I experienced the same thing he's talking about. Not really a big deal as I don't use my phone while I'm driving. The display on the vehicle will coincide with the panel dimmer switch on the vehicle. Keep it maxed out it will never go into night mode, back it down 1 click and the Android auto display will automatically toggle between white and dark background as necessary

I know exactly what he is talking about, and if they force Android Auto to dark mode, the phone will stay in dark mode when connected to the vehicle.
As it is now, Android Auto is what controls the light/dark mode on the phone. If you override it on Android Auto developer settings, the phone will respect it how he wants.
You can also alternatively set it so that as opposed to the vehicle controlling it, the phone will determine it instead.

Yes, I could always tell when Android Auto would flip the Dark Theme off because Google Maps on the car display would flip to light mode. Once turning on developer mode in Android Auto and forcing the dark option, I have not had one instance of rebellion.
Thank you all for the troubleshooting and conversating!!

Question "Dark mode for third-party apps" is not listing all apps

Hi everyone, I had a Realme X2 before, and under "Dark mode for third-party apps" I saw all my apps and was enable to enable dark mode for each of them. This worked great for most apps.
But on my new Realme 8 Pro, I only see a handful of apps listed in this menu. Most of my apps are not shown there and I cannot turn dark mode on there.
The only way I found was to enable "force dark mode override" in developer settings but this then affects all apps and I can't select which, and it is cleared on reboot...
What am I missing here? Why are most apps not listed in this menu in the 8 Pro when they were all there on the X2?
I'm happy for any hint - thank you!

i can only see 3 app, but it's ok because the other apps have a dark mode in their settings.
In that list, incompatible apps or apps that already have a dark mode setting, are not listed
Thank you for your answer, but the thing is, on my old phone, the Realme X2, almost all apps were listed there. And most of the missing ones don't have a dark mode, that's why I'm asking this question. I'm not sure in what way they could be "incompatible" because again on my old phone I was using the system dark mode for most of them and it worked great (for example Amazon Shopping, Airbnb, BAWAG PSK,...)
