[Q] Auto Dimming during videos - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to stop the screen from auto dimming and turning off while watching videos? It's really annoying to have to keep tapping the screen every minute to keep it lit up while I'm on youtube. I know I can manually set the screen to stay on, but I feel like it should just stay on for videos.

I've only found this to be the case with embedded videos in a browser. The YouTube app itself has never turned the screen off/dimmed during watching for me.

[Q] TF300T auto brightness in full screen videos

I have had my TF300T for a week and a half now. Whenever i watch movies in full screen, you tube, actual file on my tablet, flash video, or Netflix. the screen seams to adjust its brightness randomly throughout the video. I have ensured that i have auto brightness turned off, and have tried this on all three modes (performance, balanced, power saver). I get the same results in each mode. If i set the brightness high enough there is no auto adjustment of the screen brightness, but this is pretty annoying because i either have to choose between sucking my battery dry or dealing with the brightness randomly changing. Am i the only one having this issue? remember this only happens in full screen videos.

This happens to me too when I'm watching at the lowest brightness point, just raise it a bit and it should be okay. Anyways ASUS need to fix this too.
Thank you for the fast reply. I just wanted to make sure that it was not a defect with my tablet before i go past the return policy. I think i will call Asus and let them know about this issue to get their attention about it.

[Q] Is there a way to keep my tablet's screen on while 'locking' the device?

I like to stream sports on my tablet and touching the screen while streaming tends to open popup, which messes up the stream and forces me to reload it. It's not a huge deal, but it can be annoying. So I'm just wondering if there's a way to lock the screen while keeping it on, sort of like MX Player's screen lock function.

App to automatically switch screen modes?

I like keeping my phone on Adaptive Display most of the time but prefer to watch videos in the Amoled Photo screen mode. Does anyone know if an app like tasker will allow you to set up a rule so that when you open a video app like MX Player, the phone will automatically switch to Amoled Photo mode, then when you exit out, it will revert back to Adaptive Display? If so, can you show me how? I don't mind paying for the app but I'd like to know if its possible before I do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

P40 Pro Whatsapp notifications too fast & weird screen brightness

1. When using Whatsapp Web, every time I get a message my phone screen turns on. This happens even if I'm talking to the person in question. Uses battery for nothing. Is there a way to get this to either delay a few seconds so it would notice the message has been seen and wouldn't activate screen OR straight up notice Web is in use and not notificate?
2. There's a slight change in brightness when going from bright to dark pages. No auto brightness or anything is on. Any idea how to turn this off?
