Grayscale automatically turns off - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

I can turn on Grayscale through Digital Wellbeing, through the built in Reading Mode of Resurrection Remix or change it in the developer settings. After turning the screen off and unlocking the device the colors are there again. If I check the settings, Grayscale is still turned on, but the colors are there.
I first had this problem on official MIUI, then on Xiaomi.Eu and now on Resurrection Remix. Is there somebody else that had the same issue? The only thing I could find in the internet was somebody else reporting this on MIUI, I didn't expect this to happen on Custom ROMs too.
I already checked if I have turned on Grayscale through multiple applications at once, there definitely is only one of them enabled and still happening.

Same problem
I am facing this problem in my Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is on official MIUI 11 Stable.

same problem
same problem on Redmi Note 7

Temporary Fix
I found out (thanks to a post on the MIUI forum) that disabling automatic contrast (white level) will prevent grayscale mode from automatically turning off.
This can be accessed at Settings-Display-Color Scheme. (Set it to 'Standard or Saturated but not Auto')

This workaround doesn't work on my Mi9 (MIUI 11.0.9).

It's working. Thanks

You have to
1. change the auto color scheme to any other two
2. change the stimulate color space to "monochromacy" in Developer option (*while the grey scale mode is off)

I tried this, But didnt work either.
There is a video or something to see what Im doing wrong?

I am on Havoc OS 3.6 with the Mi9T and I have the same bug.
I found a solution if you don't have the 'automatic contrast' option.
Turn off DC dimming (Settings > Display > DC Dimming) and the issue should disappear!
Amazing, I cannot live without grayscale

[Q] Remove screen dim just before timeout/lock? (voodoo colour issue)

I've looked at past threads, but found no resolution to this.
I'm running voodoo colour with deep black settings and everything looks great, except right before the screen times out it will dim to its lowest setting and force the amoled panel to turn a sickly yellow/green hue.
I would like to disable the dim aspect and just let the screen time out by shutting off completely. Is there anyway to do this? I'm running the latest version of Pixel Rom with Air Kernel 4.2. I don't have auto-brightness enabled.
i am having the same issu i dont have to yellow tint in low light
but still i whould like to disable the dim it is disturbing my daily use of the device
i too dont see any point for this time out before the screen turns of
and i cant understand why when plying a game i need to touch the screen every 25 sec to get rid of the dim
thanks
I remember seeing something about auto-brightness light sensor tweaking back when I was using NV rom last year but I don't know if that would apply or not.
Does anyone know if the custom apps on the market avoid this?
edit: Tried Tasker for a full screen-off solution, and a bunch of other apps. Wasn't able to get the results I wanted :I
I have a Samsung Captivate and I am running a kernel with voodoo color support with this same issue.

anyone got such screen brightness problem on mix2s?

I just received my mix2s last weekend, and I have been using it for several days.
But through these days, I find it that when you turned off the automatic brightness, and the phone is displaying some dark or black contents, the brightness will get lower by itself, but when you turn to some colorful or brighter contents, the btightness will get back to normal itself.
so I'm wondering is there anyone got the same problem like me? and how can I turn it off? I mean, just don't turn down the brightness itself when showing dark contents.
Just checked it on my phone and you are right, screen becomes darker when you display dark content. Also with auto brightness disabled. Maybe it has something to do with the automatic contrast settings
Edit: I was right, if you disable automatic contrast the brightness stays like you set it

can you tell me where is the "automatic contrast" settings? seems that miui just deleted it
It seems to be a problem since the last mix 2. you can try search on google and on this forum.
There are few fixes you can do, just go over the search. I didn't do it myself because I just manually adjust the brightness myself. It is pretty annoying though.

thank you, it works. But is there any way to keep brightness stay with automatic contrast enabled? I bought this phone in China, but the screen of Chinese version mix2s seems extremely yellow if I don't enable automatic contrast :crying:

Maybe with a third party app that changes the contrast? You would need root privileges for an app like this I think...

Thank you I could not figure out what was causing this on my phone. When watching Youtube on lowest brightness at night the screen would fluctuate and it drives me crazy. Did not know that had something to do with it but now I know.
This is an old thread, but it's high on Google rankings, so I'm adding to it.
I think my main annoyance with this is the position of the sensor. If I'm typing or scrolling with my thumb, it seems I'm covering the sensor with my hand, so it thinks it's gone dark, so decreases brightness.
Disabling the auto brightness fixed it for me
(Using Resurrection Remix)

Google pixel 2 xl pinkish hue to always on display only when in always on mode.

I noticed my AOD has a slight shade of magenta which is making it harder to see. Anyone else have this issue? Or is it just the norm? It's odd it'll show as plain white if I enable double tap to view but once I set it to always on it turns pinkish. Just the pixels that are on. (Not the background)
I've tried safe mood, fac reset, downgrading to 8.1 , going back to 9 , rooting , then clean flash 9 and it's still pink. It's a very odd behavior since it's only link only when I enable it via "always on" I'll notice it flashes pretty rapidly. I've tried to adb adn set custom brightness via that way all it does is fix the flicker but not the hue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Flickering near minimum brightness

Hi guys, I changed my second Poco x3 for the same problem, in practice, with the brightness close to the minimum (practically putting it Auto, in a room with little light) the display shows flickering, which however disappears if I put the brightness to a minimum or if I raise it beyond the threshold that the brightness sensor gives, the problem is there even if I remove the automatic brightness. Does anyone have the same problem as me?
sorry, the problem presents me already at the first start, on the white logo of miui 12, in a dark room, you can see it. I have tried both the various resets, hw overlays etc, nothing works
Sei italiano?
Si!
Ciao. I have the same exact problem as you amigo. Were you able to resolve the problem somehow?
