I'm having this issue when I switch between apps that my brightness changes ( Auto brightness turned off ), so I searched for solution, and found out that this is battery saving feature, and that I just need to switch from Smart to Performance Power plan, but there is not such an option on Nougat, I remember that there was in MM. When I search for power plan in settings, it pops up but when I press it it just takes me to the battery settings. And I'm running on the latest Nougat update..
Please reply if you are having the same brightness problem.

I wonder if someone knows whether and how it is possible to disable the effect of switching the device on (display and backlight) when a notification is raised. I use settings that my device does not automatically switches off and when a text message arrives or a low battery alert pops up, the device stays on forever (ie. until the battery is exhausted which is quite soon) and that is really annoying (mainly the low battery alert).
Please do not advise me setting a timeout for backlight and/or display, because I really want and need these timeouts to be disabled.
Does anybody know the location of the file where the CM10 power widget stores its settings? This is actually a bug report for Camcory's CM10 11/26/12 build for the SGH-T679, but I won't be able to post in the relevant thread until I hit my 10 posts, so I'll ask here instead in case anybody else has come across this with other CM10 builds. Here is what I'm running:
Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G
CM10 JB 4.1.2 11/26/12 build from Camcory with included kernel
JusTunBean JB4.2 aroma v4.1.2 and also tried v.5.0.1
I was really liking the slide brightness feature on the notification bar, but now it's not working. Under Settings > Display > Brightness the Automatic Brightness box is grayed out and unchecked. This I expected, since I think the phone just doesn't support this feature. I've never seen it on any ROM for this phone. The brightness toggle button from the Notification drawer power widget has "Auto" as one of the available options, but when I toggled it to auto it got stuck on auto and won't change to anything else. It still cycles through the other settings, such as 25%, 50%, etc., but it always shows an "A" in the icon. This caused the notification bar slide brightness to stop working. The setting to enable this under Settings > System > Status bar is grayed out now and says "Brightness control - Automatic brightness is enabled" with the box checked, and I can't uncheck it. I tried clearing app data for Settings, Settings Storage, and System UI, but the power widget still has the "A" on the brightness toggle. Next I tried wiping cache, dalvik, and dalvik cache and that didn't help. I also tried reinstalling gapps. I really like this ROM and don't really want to do a full wipe just to fix this setting. If anybody knows exactly where the power widget settings file is stored I don't have any problem manually trying to edit it myself.
its a mystery....no one ,even the devs do not know where power widget stores data
I posted earlier today but realized the problem goes deeper than I thought...
Rooted, lollipop 5.0.1, tasker pro & secure settings pro.
I installed helper or whatever it's called now to have root access via secure settings
I set up a task to try and toggle GPS and if I go to test action it works great. However, hitting the play button does nothing (despite giving me a green circle) and if I set a profile to toggle GPS it does nothing either. I tried doing some other things (eg. toggle airplane mode) with no luck. I have been going +task, plugins>secure settings>GPS and hitting toggle. Any one know what could be the issue? Thanks
Bought a new Mix 2S with the Global ROM installed (global version) on ebay. Installed Nova Launcher so I could have the app drawer, etc. Loving the phone except 2 major problems have cropped up and am wondering if others have seen it/have solutions.
1. Wifi looses the internet connection often; it shows "connected; no internet" and the phone stops working without a data connection. I am sitting near the router and my other phones have no problem but the mix won't hold the connection even after several reboots. I have to turn wifi on/off or reboot to get the connection back. Zero problems on cellular connections - it's only wifi.
2. Notification sounds stop working. When the phone is awake and for a few minutes afterward, notification sounds work fine then stop. I've shut off miui optimizations in developer options, shut off battery savings for all apps in the battery panel and have confirmed all the apps for which I want to get notifications have the notification options selected under apps yet - notification sounds stop working pretty quickly after the phone sleeps.
Any advice/guidance on these issues would be appreciated. Without a reliable data connection (and I need wifi deep in my building to get internet) the phone is useless and I've stopped using it after a few days.

This bug still remains in latest build (8.10.11). in miui per/app notifications option, notifications are activated by default, BUT yoo can see a few options below each app notification page switch: Sound, vibration, show on lockscreen, show headup....
By default, I seem to remember only vibration option is activated, so here (and on each conversation you got a notification in the case of telegram) you have to activate all options you want: sound, show on lockscreen....
After a while, all this activated options will be resetted by the system (we dont know why) and will switch back to its defaults >> "only vibrate and dont show on lock screen" combination.
I'm interested in rooting my SM-N986B, but I'm having trouble on how to go about getting the features I want after rooting.
In the past, I've rooted my phones and eventually used a combination of xposed modules and gravitybox to obtain the follow QoL features
data traffic monitor shown on top of status bar (live download/upload speeds when using data)
hold back button to force close an app
when screen is off, long press/hold power button to turn on torch/flashlight
when screen is on, long press/hold power button to bring up options for screenshot, turning phone off, or restarting the phone
an option to auto expand the quick settings panel when the swipe down is performed towards the right side of the phone
I plan on staying with samsung's One UI (or a custom ROM based on it) so I can still use the s pen features (unless an AOSP based rom will still allow spen features). In the past I know gravitybox was only for AOSP based roms.
After I root my phone, what can I do to get the features I'm looking for stated above?
Is there an active module or tool similar to xposed/gravitybox thats One UI based?
Or which ROM would be the closest to obtaining all the above?
(in addition to QoL features above, I plan to use an adblock and remove bloatware and unused apps that samsung doesnt allow me to remove by default)
