Can anyone else confirm that turning on the notch drastically increases the brightness of the notifications in the notifications panel. It also increases the brightness of the status bar icons. I am a visully impaired individual and use dark theme for everything and the increased brightness in notifications is making me dizzy Everytime I pull the status bar. When I open the keyboard, the brightness for the keyboard also jumps to the extreme. Anyone else having this problem?
Only fix I have found is to turn off the notch, but I bought this phone for the notch, so there is no point in turning it off for me.
Any suggestions?

I do not seem to have any problems like this on my phone. You should probably rush to the service centre as soon as possible to fix because in longer period it will burn your oled panel.

This is normal, and it is because the darker icons prevent burn-in

I believe i have a problem with my Nexus S's screen. Where things should be grey they are very purple, but other times like in a picture grey object are grey! So could someone check for me by telling me what colour their notification background is. Mine is very obviously purple and i will upload a picture as proof, is this just me or are others experiencing this issue? Thanks
(You can tell by looking at the notification bar and then at the notification drop down area that the bar is black and the notif area is purple-y)
EDIT: After messing with brightness i can confirm this is only happening to me when mine is below around 25%, can others confirm this?
Mine is dark grey
whats your brightness setting?
Auto

My brightness was set to auto when that picture was taken, auto puts it down to below 25%. If i manually set my brightness to below 25% the notif area is very purple, if i set it to anything above about 60-70% then it goes normal and grey!?
I flashed Baked Blackbean 7 last evening. Everything appears to be working fine, so thanks to the devs for a good AOSP 4.2 rom!
I do miss the brightness slider on the notification page though. I see an option under statusbar settings called "statusbar brightness slider". I've tried turning this on and off, but don't see any change. The description is "whether the statusbar brightness slider is on when you slide across the statusbar".
Does anyone know what this option does? It'd be nice if it was a quick screen brightness control.
from your home screen, press the status bar. slide left for dim, right for brighter.
it takes a few times to get used to it.

Ok, that's what I thought. The problem I was having is that I had auto brightness on.
Just like the slider in notifications in TW, you have to have auto brightness off for the slider to have any effect.
Thanks for the quick response!
np, glad you got it squared away.
I love how the s6 gets extremely bright in direct sunlight with the auto brightness boost, but I wish there was a way to have this boost whenever I wanted. Any way to do this yet?
I may be missing something, but I don't know how it could automatically increase when you wanted, so you must mean manually doing it, so you'd just pull down your notification bar and manually adjust the brightness, right? You might use something like Trigger or Tasker to have a few quick buttons to hit for different brightness levels or something like that.
Pull down notification bar. Uncheck Auto at the end of brightness slider.
Has anyone noticed that on the lockscreen, it seems to use a default color profile? Once notifications are expanded or the screen is unlocked, whatever color profile you selected is applied. This is particularly more noticeable if you have your white balance set more towards the cooler side. Anyone else having this issue? Also, when night mode is on, it'll apply in certain apps and not in others. Using display p3 option.
Seeing same issue with night mode on the lock screen. Seems like an oversight from OnePlus.
After days of searching for a way to force proper full screen mode WITHOUT the thick black bar I finally found one. However, it puts all notification/status icons already on the left under the camera. I'm so close to a perfect solution but this one thing is in my way.
Ideally I'd like to move all icons right but messing with the padding might be a good plan B.
Please help. It's driving me mental.
If you are referring to any notification icon and/or the clock, there really isn't any way to move those without doing a bunch of work on a rooted device creating your own theme basically. Also what thick black bar are you talking about for fullscreen? the bars are only present if whatever is being displayed isn't a 20:9 ratio. so any 16:9 (like most 1080p) media will get the bars. but everything else should be full screen by ensuring Setting>Display>Advanced>Front camera display area is on the right setting.

That's disappointing.
I have managed to move the clock to the right with edXposed via Gravitybox. It's just notifications now. Don't suppose you'd know if it's possible to disable the icons but still have notifications for those apps show up in the notification drop-down?
And that camera display area, when enabled, is the black bar I'm talking about. It's unsightly and a waste of space. Using the mod I found, all apps but Ookla Speed Test fill the ENTIRE to screen beautifully with no essential UI elements blocked by the camera. Landscape or portrait.

Only thing I can think of for the notifications is make them all "Other" instead of important. you would have to do that per app and per notification type that each app shows. Long clicking them in the drop down gives you the option to change it there. But that also means you need to enable "important and other notifications" on lock screen if you want them to show up there.; however, I can't find a way to allow "other" notifications to display on the Ambient display. I do use the AOD notify app and that could be a nice workaround for that as that will still light up for notifications that are labeled as "other" over the Ambient display and you can then color code each app to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I changed the media apps I use to not important and that seems to have taken care of my issue for the most part.
Its not a perfect solution but it's the best and most helpful so far. Thank you, mate.

Hey @shadowofdeth, I have bought the OP8 recently and I too wish to reduce the height of the status bar(I don't mind the punch hole using the app space since most apps have the logo only at the top left). You said you have used a mod to reduce the space. Was it the edXposed or is it something else? Thanks in advance
