After turning on power saving mode then turning it off, brightness is changing when opening some apps like dialer and google chrome. Similar to EMUI 4.1 when power mode was set to smart but it is happening even when off in EMUI 5.
Before turning on power saving mode for the first time, brightness was always constant.

It's a known issue and was reported over a month ago on b317.
It happens without ever using power saver on some phones

In emui 4.1, brightness is supposed to reduce in some apps whilst set to 'smart'
In emui 5 when you enabled power saving mode, it reduces the overall brightness. But when you turn it off, the overall brightness goes back to normal but now the brightness is acting like it did in emui 4.1 whilst set to smart. It reduces in some apps. Tried restarting phone but doing the same thing.
I'm using Chinese rom b368 released 2 days ago

Is there any fix? Really annoying me every time I open up chrome the brightness changes, then again when you exit it. How do bugs like this even get past testing, so obvious.
Also is your option for reducing screen resolution working? Doesn't seem to do anything for me, worked fine in 4.1. Now it just stays at 1920x1080 when I enable it instead of dropping to 1280x720

Not working, noticed that too!
This is probably due to the fact that EMUI 5 is still in it's Beta stage and has allot of bugs that need to be ironed out before it's commercial release.

On second thought I believe that screen brightness and connected power management is managed much worse then under EMUI 4. Power saving is accessible only through settings and it takes over screen brightness management completely. Besides it doesn't work well.

I'm on the very latest China release which is much more frequent than international and the bug is still there. Hopefully its not one of those bugs that people aren't reporting enough and will be stuck in it for months
Where can I fill bug reports. Those things are annoying.
Brand new phone, updated to nougat throu HiCare. Brightness in chrome, gmail and file manager changes every time when I open them. Also the powersaving option with lower resolution doesnt work for me either.

I have the same issue, did you fix it?
I realized that lowest brightness level in EUMI 5 is brighter than in EUMI 4.1 ??
Really stupid bug that shows how poor emui developers are. Still in latest chinese developer rom, no sign that developers are even aware of the problem. Don't know how so few little people are reporting this, must be blind.
It should only happen when power saving mode is enabled like it did in older emui.
It causes so many problems. I have screen set to my preferred brightness then it dims so much when I open browser that I have to increase brightness every time. The only work around is to use 100% brightness all the time, then it does not dim the screen but this just a stupid waste of battery and bad for your eyes indoors.

Hi. I write for AOL News and am looking for some feedback on the droid charge. I've used two different phones so far and found several bugs that no one has apparently been focusing on:
1.The camera/camcorder will freeze the entire phone sporadically forcing the user to reboot the system. This occurs about 1 in every 8 times the camera is used. especially if it's on more than a minute or two.
2. Clicking the 'Message' Icon will open the browser or even 'settings'. Again, forcing reboot.
3. The 'brightness' automatically changes to 0 even when the 'auto' option isn't selected and the phone isn't outside.
4. This one constantly happens; when in phone mode, the screen will go dark after only about 10 seconds and nothing will bring it back except hitting the power button. I've been told you're supposed to be able to 'shake' the phone to awake it out of sleep mode but this is not the case. Additionally, if you've set the power button to end calls, the phone will sometimes end calls on the first push and sometimes not.
The phone could be a great device but it's obvious there are SERIOUS design flaws inherent in the OS.

1. Are you sure that you are not pressing the power button while in the camera application. Doing so will toggle the screen lock and appear to freeze the phone.

As for number 4, I think that was a conscious design decision. I don't really like it either, but you can use Tasker or Locale to detect when you're in a call and change your timeout to whatever you want.

When you have the auto brightness turned off you can push and hold the notification bar and slide your finger to the right or left to raise/lower brightness. Is it possible you are doing this?

The phone isn't supposed to be waken by shaking it. You can change the time-out timing through the settings. I've never hung up the phone via the power button so I can't even comment on that one.

I have not experienced any of these on the 3 months with my phone. It locked up maybe once on the camera but never more than that.
I've had none of these issues and furthermore I second the above thoughts regarding locking three camera and the status bar brightness.

Count me in the camp that says I havent seen any of those issues. As far as the camera goes, the only issue is the substandard SD card that Sammy sends. You cannot record in HD because the card speed is too slow.
All the other issues you are seeing are unique.
Search these forums for them, if others have had the problem you will find someone asked about it.
If you do find them, I am sure that they will be very isolated.
I couldn't say about a totally stock phone as I flashed mine to gummy 1.9.1 on its very first boot, but I have never had a single problem with my phone.
I absolutely LOVE this thing, I have owned a TON of phones and IMHO this is hands down the best phone I've ever owned.
My boss bought a new Bionic last Friday and after playing with it for the day Friday I wouldn't swap my phone even for the Bionic (among other things, the screen SUCKS on the Bionic). My boss doesn't like it either, he is returning it tomorrow.

Never experienced number 1,2 or 4. But I have experienced number 3. Only happens though every couple of weeks. Hardly ever basically. It is weird though. I have no idea why my brightness changes even with my auto brightness off. Still a great phone though.

Lol, anytime!
It's a feature I don't think I could live without now.
I can honestly agree with ur first concern. My camera is wonky. I can take pics all day without flash enabled. But I turn on the flash and try to focus (tap to focus), and as soon as the pic is snapped, the screen goes black, causing me to do a battery pull. Happened to me on my former Charge, my current replacement Charge and my wife's Charge. Happened on stock unrooted, stock rooted, and with custom Roms on all firmware versions. And I can easily replicate it.

Sounds like you have some sort of agenda. Seeing as how nobody here so far has experienced this issues your referring to, I would say nothing is "obvious" at this point, nor do any of the issues above seem to be "serious", save for maybe the camera lockup issue but that very well could be user ignorance.

I think the fact that he is a journalist with some very pointed questions is the dead giveaway for his agenda. He's looking for a sensationalist angle to play for an article. Whether it's against Verizon or Samsung, I don't know, but it's pretty certain he came here with an agenda.

As for HD recording, I recall posts mentioning that some phones shipped with class 2 and some with class 4 sd cards. I got a class 4 card in mine and I've never had an issue with recording HD. Likely the source of the recording issue.

I have no problem with screen brightness changing or the on/off function from the magnetic cover, and have great battery life after the upgrade to marshmallow. My tablet had not been rooted and I am using a generic cover.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
The adaptive brightness is a "feature" of the Asus software Vivid Display, it attempts to change the brightness of the screen to somehow compensate for the darkness of the content. There is nowhere to turn it off. It does my head in, i was able to disable it with root before the update, and with the Marshmallow update you can use the debloater tool. Disable packages called VisualMaster and Splendid, that seems to fix it.

My kids have some games that do that, more than likely the game has a permission to Keep the screen awake, you might be able to deny this permission now with M installed. I haven't upgraded their tablets yet but once I do I will check for that permission.
My big issue also relates to brightness. I use on screen alerts so that the screen lights whenever I get an alert. The problem is that with MM the screen dims just before it times out and turns off. I think it did this in earlier versions of android but with MM the dimming effect is so great that the screen is unreadable. This problem occurs even with auto brightness off and with the screen plenty bright...except for the few seconds before it turns off. Any ideas on if this can be fixed would be appreciated.

Update: Can't write to OTG USB drive; Nook FC; FBReader FC
Mm is a mixed bag for me, to the point where I would go back to rooted LP with Xposed if I could.
Biggest issue is that I can no longer write to an OTG drive. I'd prefer to use the SD card as internal storage and use OTG on the relatively rare occasions when I need to move files. I can read the OTG Ok, but not write. It doesn't seem to be a drive or cable issue; I've tried multiples of both.It *does* seem to be a MM issue, because my phone (LG G3, unrooted) has the same problem.
Second issue is thst both the Nook reader app and FBReader crash. Both work OK on other MM tabs (granted, they are rooted) and on my LG G3 phone (bone stock).
Just venting!
Update: the OTG issue is not as bad as I indicated. ES File Explorer Pro is a lot fussier than the ASUS native file manager. Once I grant access via the file manager, ES seems to read and write OK. I finally got FBReader to work by uninstalling the Premium version, installing the free version, and then upgrading again to Premium. Now the Nook issue is the only remaining problem, and I can work around that by stripping the DRM from my books using Calibre in the PC so I can access them via FBReader.

Wait. You said you powered it down and then later "booted up." So the unit was off, as opposed to sleeping? If so, then the problem isn't related to the OS, 'cause the OS isn't operating.. It's your battery. It's self-discharging too fast.
Is there MM update for CN version?
Hi all, i,ve just read that there is a MM updates for Z580CA, and it said we need to download it manually (not OTA) . But when i checked to the asus website there is only updated firmware for WW and JP Version,
So.. is the CN Version will have the updates soon? ( i don' know if it possible to change SKU, but i've read the update can only applied to a same SKU, ex, WW to WW)

Exactly. Battery or a short circuit. But it seems a short would have other, more disastrous consequences. Since it doesn't really fit this thread I am asking a moderator to move to the appropriate one.
This is for a better understanding of where we are standing now. 9.5.7 was rather a significant hotfix, but did they deliver?
What benefits have you noticed from 9.5.7 OTA and what you think needs work still.
I already noticed pictures are more accurate on low light whlie also more popping and saturated in normal mode,
Also after receiving a phone call, the loudness and clarity could be told from 5 feet away without using loud speaker.
I wasn't really experiencing most of the other issues, so, what was fixed for you?
Ghost touches are fixed! As far as the camera goes... i haven't compared it yet, but people say its much much better. Ambient display was a bit buggy for me on 9.5.5. Sometimes it works, and other times it didn't, but after the update i am yet to see it not working. I really appreciate this update and hope for more improvements in the future.
Edit: Btw first time using a OnePlus device and im loving it so far. Only issue for me is lack of sd card slot when it has 2 sim slots.
Ambient display is fixed and camera has improved hugely, especially night mode... Huge improvement
Much better overall...
They claim to have improved touch response. Maybe better now with tempered glass protector.
Still difficult to pull down status bar while in a call.
Full screen games still got issues with getting statusbar visible.
A little more overnight drain... 5%... might take a few days to settle in again or something... don't know

Yeah I posted it on the OP forums the first week the phone started shipping out and I am using the RICE. Thankfully they offer a work around.
Ambient display still broken for Nova Launcher and I'm sure for others as well, when unlocking it goes to black screen and only nav bar. Which as been reported by others. When ambient display disabled everything works fine.
Takes about 5 seconds to take a nightscape picture, I can´t hold my hands steady for that long, so using regular mode for night photos which actually works surprisingly well. Still would like to have the option though.
*808*# to calibrate promixity sensor doesn't work. Unable to open the sensor calibration. And the old pocket mode isn't in settings anymore.
Conclusion is that while being carried in my pocket screen goes on very often.
Anyone else?
Warp charged is borked for me since 9.5.7, it changes between warp, normal and no charging about every 5 seconds, my old 5 cable does the same but funnily enough warp charge pops up with it, and my 5 dash charger works fine. And once the phone is about 90% the issue goes away completely. Also a factory reset didn't fix it and I know for sure I didn't have it on 9.5.5 because my phone vibrates every time it switches back to warp charge (which happens a lot and repeatedly as well as the animation on the lock screen) and its never done that before. (here is my post on the OP forums for any that want more info: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/op-7-pro-warp-charging-not-working-anymore.1051041/)

Try charging while the phone is off, let the battery drain low, plug it for 1.5 hour. If it goes up to 100% in that time, then its not a hardware malfunction but an OS bug

Conclusion is that while being carried in my pocket screen goes on very often.
Anyone else?

did you debloat you OS? I did using tomato debloater, and with it some some of the calibration/ engineering mode went away as they where part of the apps to be removed. if reflashing your OS wont solve it for you, you might have a broken sensor

No, that's not what I wrote. Engineering mode app opens, but the calibration section doesn't work. It was working before. Someone else confirmed it to me in another thread.

Try charging while the phone is off, let the battery drain low, plug it for 1.5 hour. If it goes up to 100% in that time, then its not a hardware malfunction but an OS bug

I'll give that a try tonight and see what happens
I do not take many pictures I am glad to read though the camera may have improvements.
Noticed no changes so far.
So I notice something funky today
I'm on Nov sec patch
Dark theme on
If I open the dialler the themes is grey
However if I bring brightness to <50%
Lock my screen then unlock it the theme / colour goes almost purple?
I tried taking screenshots but the result is the same grey colour
Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes, it's the way the screen works at the moment. Its why the 90htz was only used at higher brightness levels, but they tried to please the people complaining about it (Nov patch) and here we are.
So yes it's "normal" behavior for now.

Will never please everyone. People will always find a reason to b**ch.

But this shouldn't happen. The 90hz isn't an excuse. It's a bug. The OnePlus didn't ever have this issue .
I've turned always on display and the issue goes away, but if I get a notification the horrible green returns, I turn the screen off and back on and it goes back to normal ...no tint. It's a really fustrating and rubbish bug

Neither running Smooth Display Option, nor on Force 90 Hz does this purple tint happen on my XL. Tested in pitch black surrounding.

Take off force 90hz just leave smooth display on
No aod, or motion sense and no adaptive brightness or ambient eq
Put the brightness down in a dark room, open the dialler, lock the screen the unlock it
I just tried it on 3 pixel 4xls and all had the same thing
You can see the color change back when you put the brightness back up
Sometimes it doesn't stick but changes back pretty quick
At times it gets stuck purple ish

I can even notice it in normal brightness now, and gets worse as it dims. I've got AOD off. Sometimes the green is there other times I turn screen off and on its not, it's not normal

Hopefully Google can fix it with a patch
I guess that's why they disabled 90hz under 75% brightness originally

I know how to do it, and as I stated, I can't seem to replicate it on my 4XL. Brightness was at 15% when I tried it yesterday evening after sundown and in absolute darkness of my bedroom. Didn't test it prior to November Patch, so I can't tell if I had it previously.

Maybe but I don't believe it's hardware limitations or the OnePlus would be the same or the green tint would be there all the time. Debating wether to get the 7t pro or try another 4 XL but it's driving me nuts. Why Google why lok

Yeah definitely!
Sometimes I notice it switches back to normal but most of the time it doesn't
I walked. into my local phone Shop and they had about 3 on display and It was persistent on all of them
I even showed the store assistant he was just as baffled as me haha

It's probably not going to be fixed until next month by the earliest. So either you have to put up with it or return it and get a different device. Sounds like returning it will be your best route cuase it seems to bothering you to the point where it's starting to cause stress/distress in your life and nothing is worth that honestly.

Ive ordered the OnePlus 7t to see how I get on..got from Amazon so easy returns. Although some of it I think it software, I don't think the quality panels of these are that great overall . I will get a pixel replacement too

Good luck! I'm tired of the exchange game for oleds, it's very tiring. Did it with the Pixel 2 and now the galaxy tab 6 and did it once for this device for the purple hue and I just want to stop now. All the back and forth with Google support just saps the life right out of my body. Then having to pack everything up and set it all up put another screen protector. I still have a tab s6 with uniformity issues that doesn't show up in normal usage so I just gave up lol.. Years ago I would of kept going until I got perfection/near perfection with the chance of possibly having Amazon blacklist my account from all the returns/exchanges.
If you enable the front camera you can see a small circle spin round the lens before appearing as a solid light alongside it.
I look forward to seeing what custom ROM developers can do with this, perhaps this LED can be triggered to light up (and stay on, until cleared) when notifications come through.
It is already available below. It works very well on my 8T and I purchased the premium version because it's so good.

I set it to only show for 5 minutes max after a notification and slow down the interval. I don't notice any significant effects on battery compared with a normal always on display.
I use the same app and battery life is fine. I have set it to repeat for 45 min maximum

I've started using this and it is awesome. Only one thing I'm getting is my phone locking up. (Unable to wake up screen)
I have to hard power off and restart.
Uninstalled the app and no lockups. Install the app and I'll start experiencing them again. I'm rooted with only Adaway and V4A. Maybe it's a setting in A11 I have as well? I really like the app and already bought it but it does cause my phone to lockup.

Hi, what's the key for hard power off on 8T.
Also, how did you install V4A.

I have no idea why it happened to yours, mine is working perfectly fine. It does override the stock AOD when it happens, but doesn't freeze my phone at all.

Hold volume up + power for 10 seconds
and V4A has been updated to support Android 11. Version 2.7.2.1 is available in magisk now. Install, open viper and follow prompts, it'll reboot. Some have had to use legacy mode in settings of v4a for it to work

I downloaded this yesterday and enjoy the notification ring. However it's definitely causing battery drain for me, so it will probably get uninstalled soon. I only have it on for a few messaging apps, not facebook or anything like that.
Also since installing, the screen doesn't always want to turn on, I had no issues prior and this app is the only thing that changed.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't want to turn on. Are you having to reboot your phone to get it to turn on. That's The issue I'm having.
I've disabled ambient display completely within the system settings and so far my screen hasn't locked up. Still testing it though.

More of it doesn't respond until I push the power button a few times. It doesn't happen every time, it's occasionally. But it's frustrating when it does that.

I got the app yesterday as well, works really well as you said, apart from the fact that the battery drains with this app.
Anyone know any way to make it less drain?
I'll say it again...this is the one to use...no battery drain, no lockups. It can notify you around the ring, or around the entire screen.
Just try it...what have you got to lose?

This is why I made this thread, third party notification apps tend to be a mixed experience as you can tell by the responses in this thread. I tried AodNotify today and I'm already annoyed by the fact I have to double tap to wake twice in order to wake the phone. Other users are experiencing crashes, battery drains and/or inconsistent notification alerts etc.
When the feature is built-in in a custom ROM, it just works. As in the screenshot below (from an older phone with LED):
Tried aodNotify app. Posting the battery usage screenshots.

This doesn't show the reality. Use the the dots on the top left to show the total device usage. It gives a much better impression.
I for myself don't see any impact on battery life using that app.
