Hi,
anyone experienced issues with brightness level on B112? i bought the phone used on ebay, and it came with this firmware
if the brightness is set at the middle, it looks like is set at minimum, and if i try to set it below middle, the screen goes totally black ( 0 visibility )...also if i set the screen on auto brightness, the second it is set, it goes blank screen ( the screen is working, just the brightness is so low you cannot see anything )
also, should i consider upgrading from B112 to a newer firmware? performance wise, i am very happy with B112, because comparing with B125 ( on my second ascend p6 ) it runs smoother, no lag in menu at all ( so far ). i also get in antutu 15200-15700 scores with B112.
any thoughts are welcome

Hello,
Are you using the buttons at the pulldown menu or the phone settings menu to set the brightness ?
If it happens only when you are using the pulldown menu you can try the following (if you have a rooted phone) :
1.First of all, make a copy of build.prop and save it on your SD card !
2.Open build.prop (located in system folder in your device) with a root file explorer (like ES File Explorer on Google Play).
3.Look for this line "ro.config.disablesmbacklinght=true".
4.Replace "true" with "false".
5.Reboot the phone.
PS : You can save the changes in build.prop only if you mount your system like RW (see the ES File Explorer settings)
it happens all the time, doesn't matter how I get to screen brightness...it acts the same

Do you have the Smart Backlight option ON in the phone settings menu > Display ? Try to disable it !
It is possible that you have a preinstalled application like Screen Filter (by the last owner)? If yes, try to uninstall it !
Best regards,

smart backlight is OFF
there is no app preinstalled, as i have factory reset the phone...no other funky app either
i was thinking maybe there is a system file that can be tweaked with, to edit a maximum and a minimum parameter for the brightness ...

You have the possibility to check if it is a software problem using Lux Dash application (do a search on Google Play).
"Lux is a third-party app that allows you to easily calibrate your phone’s brightness sensor".You could try it !

i tried Lux, and it works, but it does not have any calibrate function, it is a good alternative to default screen brightness tho...
I was hoping for a fix for the default ( built in ) screen brightness setup menu...anyway, this will do the trick for now
thanks

Not sure when this happened - I've been doing updates from 5.1.7 - 9.0.0 - 9.0.1 - 9.0.2 - but Ambient Display in Settings does nothing, i.e. it doesn't offer a switch on/off, nor does the Lift Up option appear. I know it was there are some point recently. Any suggestions how to bring it back?

I'm on v9.0.2 and Ambient Display options are available. Do you have any mods installed?
My own stupidity! I'd been trying out other ambient display apps., and had frozen the internal AOD in Titanium!

ON 9.0.3 is seemd both Ambient display options and lift up disappeared in the settings on the system app left..
anyway to reactive it ?
I upgraded to Android Q DP1 yesterday through OTA and noticed the double-tap-to-check-phone feature now always displays the full lockscreen including wallpaper. Same thing for lift-to-check-phone. In Pie, it used to show ambient display first when double tapped. I have the Always On Display disabled. Is this a bug?

Yes, the "Double-tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" options are still there, and when enabled those actions still wake the screen, but the wake behaviour has changed, which is what I'm wondering about. When woken, it now shows the full lock screen rather than the ambient display (black background and dark theme) that used to show up in Pie.

Ohhh...ok I know what you mean now. Personally, I like it the way it is now in Q.

It's down to personal preference for sure. I wish they would've made that wake behaviour configurable if it's not a bug.
I wish the same too even in full 10 release they didn't change this behaviour
It's better to wake the ambient display than to wale the whole phone in case you need to check nots.
:good:
Hey all!
I am glad too see somebody else also noticed it. I absolutely adore the clean design and funcionality of Pixel's AOD, but the changed funcionality of double-tap to wake (from waking AOD to waking the whole screen) annoys me. I even rolled back from Q beta to Pie hoping they would not implement this change in stable release. Now in order to see AOD you need to have it on constantly, which actually drains some 1% battery per hour (that actually makes it some 15-20 over a working day's period and is actually quite substantial.), also during the night. I also don't stare at the phone all the time to need AOD all that time - a gentle tap to peek the time, weather and notifications is just enough - I see some of you would agree.
Is there any way we can appeal to Google similar to OnePlus's feedback section?
Hey, has it also become iOS like?
I hate whole iOS lock screen turning on. What a shame
I spent time factory resetting my phone thinking that the missing ambient display settings were a bug, I never thought Google would remove that functionality. The language under the "Lock Screen Settings" sounds similar, but they don't do the same thing since now it just wakes the entire screen. Real bummer that Google keeps removing features.
Yeah, it seem they went almost full iOS on this And it was so good: tap twice - AOD shows, tap twice again on that AOD - the lock screen shows. Why Google, why! At least give us an option to schedule when the AOD can be turned off automatically (like at some hours at night).
And to think I bought the Pixel just a week ago to finally taste the stock Android. It is good, no doubt here (and the phone size and general style is very refreshing from thos behemoths I used from Sammy, OP or Huawei), but OnePlus seems much more thoughtful and practicality-oriented. And what is the more important the pledges from the OnePlus community actually work quite often which I don't expect with Google somehow.
I'm fine with it. Not a big deal.

This app was initially developed for Samsung Galaxy devices with Always on Display. As OnePlus devices will also get an Always on Display soon i decided to create a version specially for OnePlus devices. For now the app runs in a compatibility mode as the Always on Display has not been released yet. App is in beta stage currently.

Please reply if the camera cutout is working. You can do some fine adjustment in dimension settings. Will update the position if needed.
Thanks for testing!

Does the position need any correction? Or is it perfectly aligned?
I will adjust the presets then.
It was too low and too far to the left. Shape was bad too. These are my settings, it fits perfectly now.

Could you please set "Resize" to 0% and then check if any "fine tuning" is needed. Or if we can leave "fine tuning" values on 0.
Thanks for testing!
It is HUGE with resize set to 0...

You also need to set all values to 0 in fine tuning
When fine tuning settings are set to 0 the app restarts itself

Did you sent the crash report? or isnt there any?
I cleared app data and cache, and set everything again. Now these are my tuned settings
errr .... I'm using this phone with the front camera outside of the screen, no hole in the actual screen, this oval **** drove me crazy.
when tried to set the ofsets to be around the cameras, the phone simply won't use the portion of the screen where the cameras are.
is there anything that can be done with that?

Did you join the beta program from Playstore, and updated to the latest beta? If so, clear app data and cache, and set values from my post, and you'l be fine.
I did, still can't move the ring outside of the screen.
Works like charm.. I just faced a small issue when in lockscreen.
It messes up the tap the screen to show feature in the ambient display. Only double tap works properly, single tap doesn't . Hope this gets fixed in the future updates.
Thanks for the efforts^_^!

Did you need some position fine tuning? or does the camera cutout fit for you?
Yes, ambient display is not supported yet.

Needed to tune the cutout as it doesn't actually fit perfectly by default.
No notifications waiting makes the screen off and AOD not showing.
Recieving or already having a notification shows AOD.
On top of that you can select which apps are important to you to behave this way for their notifications and ignore others, also can be set similary for charging = on / not charging = off.
Yet it has no impact on battery maybe it will use like additional 0.009%
1- Install Always On Edge App
2- in Main settings section -> enable With AOD invisible -> but show AOD on notifications.
3- Main settings -> optional permissions -> AOD lighting controller.
4- save.
And that is it no need to enable any other permission or feature. However, please note that if you enable edge lighting then timing will be applied.
It's a paid app tho (and an expensive one too I mean 5/6 USD when converting from my local currency it's a bit expensive IMHO), but thanks anyway
@TonyGzl92 it is 3$ for all feature including this except Animated wallpapers. If you do not want wallpaper no need to pay 5$
You can do that for free with aodNotify. No ads, no need to pay.
