Screen tint on lockscreen + low brightness - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Just got a OP6. When on the lockscreen, the screen is tinted a lighter shade, never come across this before and it reverts back when you unlock the phone. I don't have face unlock enabled. Is this normal?
Also, brightness under 100% is very dim, have to have it at 75% to be the same as my Moto Z Play on 20%. Is this new on 9.0?
Thanks

1. Yes, lockscreen has tinted look
2. Yes, seems to be a feature of 9.0, it has been presented at some point.

Cheers for that. Can you disable tinted lockscreen? My OP5 didn't have that.

[Q] Baked Blackbean 7 - Brightness Slider Option

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.

Status bar brightness slider

Hello, I'm looking for a mod that adds the option of setting brightness by sliding across the status bar. To clarify, this is not the same as a brightness slider in the notification panel. You literally slide on the status bar with out having to pull anything down first. It's a crucial feature for me since I go in and out of the Sun a lot during the day. Thanks!
Viper ROM has it as an option so I know it is compatible with Sense roms. I'm running CleanRom now.
Tried GravityBox xposed module and it has the option but when I enable it, it doesn't actually go into effect...
Are you running the Kitkat version of it? Also you shouldn't even need to do this, the auto screen brightness adjustment on this phone is quite good and should adjust it properly for you even quicker than the status bar slider mod you're looking for can.

Yes, I was using KitKat version. The JB version won't even install on a KK phone...
I'd use Auto Brightness if I could set the lower limit to go all the way down to 0% but I can't find settings to customize that. Do you know an Xposed module that can?
In case you were wondering how to set the maximum automatic brightness level
A Google Search:
From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Display & gestures or Display, gestures & buttons. With the Automatic brightness option selected, drag the slider to set the maximum brightness level. This sets a limit on how bright the screen will be when Automatic brightness is selected.
Great answers.
How can one add this feature?

How Does Amoled Screen Burn In Work?

I asked the same question on r/oneplus.
So I've bought a OP 7 Pro just 1 month ago and I'm really paranoid about burn in.
I searched a lot about amoled technology and from what i read i assumed screen burn in it's not something recoverable. And I took all the security measures to not make it happen. Auto-brightness, screen timeout to 30s, AOD turned off, and i never leave a static image on my phone.
Today I noticed that when i plugged my phone and the colors screensaver started, the fingerprint icon left a visible mark like it was burned in. But it lasted only a couple seconds and then it disappeared. Same thing happens with the signal icon on the status bar.
So, is that screen burn in? Or it's just image retention? And why is it recovering? Should I worry about it becoming permanent? I'm not even enjoying the phone anymore :c
Sorry for my english and thank you
Not that big of a deal. Especially with screen technology these days. Walk into your local carrier store, or Best Buy, look at an old phone that has an amoled screen and that's left on all the time for display. That's burn in. When the image stays there after a long period of time and doesn't disappear when the screen is turned off and on. When I had my S8 and S9, it was noticeable that the clock and always-on home button shifted all of the time. With screen technology the way it is now, a lot of OEM skins have some sort of burn-in protection in place. I've left the screen on my 7 Pro on for hours on end, alas at the lowest brightness, with the screen timeout set to never and I've never had an issue.
I'm paranoid about burn-in too. I use navigation gestures and systemui tuner app to hide status bar. I use battery widget reborn to see battery percentage and other notifications can be seen in notifications pull down shade. Use auto brightness to change brightness more frequently. I use amoled antiburn app to check for any burn-in. All clear so far.
Since launch, Not much chatter concerning this as an issue... Enjoy your device
I have Google maps burned in..? I hate it because you can see see on a white background alot.

Display temperature issue

So I just got this phone yesterday and am now updated to the latest available 7.1 version. I noticed that the default color temperature was a bit too warm for me and I reduced it to my liking.
So now basically the colour temperature is as I want but the temperature is still the default warm tone on the lockscreen. I can see the temperature change when unlocking.
Anyone else have this issue? Any fixes?

It will go to default temp on lockscreen to ensure performance for fingerprint reader. It's usually most visible when you have a blue light filter on and try to unlock, then the lockscreen is visibly cooler and it goes to normal as soon as it's unlocked. It's normal, I had it on every phone I had with optical in screen FP sensor.
Lockscreen color doesnt change so it can luminate your finger properly

Statusbar black font / gesture indicator white background

I actually love the 12.2.4 update (I knew what I was getting into and was fine using the poco launcher). But I have this issue where the status bar is black sometimes and the gesture indicator has this annoying white bar behind it that really looks ugly... (see screenshot) Do I have to uninstall other launchers? Or should I reset poco launcher?
[E] After uninstalling nova launcher it was gone, but now it's back
The status bar is black since miui 12, if you have a bright background. I don't know who is the brilliant developer, that thought this is a good idea.
Try changing the background, or try the settings under "more dark mode options" - "adjust wallpaper to dark mode" with ON and OFF.
I have a blue background, which also turns the status bar black, if I turn the mentioned setting off.

Thx for the suggestion! But I don't use dark mode at all. It also turns dark when I'm on light mode and I get that ugly bar behind the gesture indicator at the bottom.
I think it has something to do with display size setting in accessibility (or DPI). When I use display size S or XS, I don't have the issue only with L or when I set DPI lower than 392 (which is stock).. But why!?
[e] upon further testing I found out that it's a combination of setting DPI below 392 and the wallpaper... Maybe it's because of the colors in the wallpaper or the size or I don't know but certain (scrolling) wallpapers in combination with low DPI produce this bug with gesture indicator and status bar color pretty sure it has to do with bright/dark color but not sure. Weird stuff, but it seems like I fixed it.
