Thx a lot and my battary was 15% therefor it goes down!
I cannot find the brightness setting in the video player. How can I access this?
press the Menu.
omg, thanks a lot. I've been watching a video on my way to work this morning and thought "Damn, normally the display is a lot better in the sun"
I knew about the brower-brightness settings, but it didn't come to my mind that it could be the same for the video player. stupid me.
I did that yesterday but only got the "detalis" and "via bluetooth" settings. Today I tried again and I got all settings... then just now I got the two icons again and now the player froze the phone. ehhh, now it is dead, can't get the phone booted again :/
battery off/on did the trick and it is booting again

How do you change the time out on the backlight for the screen. I changed it for the keys but my screen goes dark after 5 seconds. Its really annoying when trying to read web pages.

Start menu --> settings --> system --> backlight, "Battery Power" tab, and configure preferred settings.
Also ... Start menu --> settings --> power, "Advance" tab, and configure your preferred settings.
Hope this helps
Yeah I figured it out for some reason the option wasn't under my settings.

Good for you. Just curious, where was that option to configure your backlight, if it wasn't under "Settings"?
Well I installed advance configuration tool and i guess it got rid of it or something. But its under battery setting with that program.

Interesting ... all long as you safely figured it out, that's all that counts
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
30 = 30 seconds
is there a way to not turn off the backlight when listening to music? sometimes when it goes off, then i have to punch in my pin to get back in, and working out can be a hassle..i'm using the default music player...
you can change your backlight setting and turning it off or you can have a few music players that turns off the screen and still play. there's a few that can do this one which is nitrogen. once you install it it'll have a power button of it's own and it'll turn off the screen. the tf3d music player does not have the option.
there are more music players that do it but i like using nitrogen.

thanks - do you know w here i can find nitrogen? is it a free app?
search for the new S2P it works great. I think its ver.78b but get the one with the openGL support.
You could always find AE button Plus and remap a but to blank screen. I use the PPT button for this.

I was watching a video in SPB TV when the screen suddenly went dim. I go to Start > Settings > System > Power and see that the backlight adjustment slider for when the phone is plugged in has disappeared . I went back to SPB TV and I can adjust the screen brightness while watching a video but as soon as I exit it the screen goes back to being dim. I think the program might have messed with the registry or something. The phone was plugged in the entire time and I can adjust the screen brightness when the phone is unplugged (thank goodness).
Does anyone have any insight or experience with this problem? I am trying to avoid a hard reset. Is there something in the registry I can check out.
Thanks

Try scrolling from the Home Screen to the "Settings" tab. The third option is "Sound & Display", choose that. Flick down that screen to the "Display->Backlight" option.
Let us know if that doesn't work!

One thing I've found irritating is that the Vibrant has at least two brightness settings. The systems setting allows you to select "auto brightness" BUT
The browser has its own brightness controls and does have an "auto brightness" setting that I can find?!
The screen is so bright you need two settings for it.
Why is this annoying? Use a different browser.
I agree. I see no need to have a separate setting for the browser. One system brightness setting would suffice...
Is that part of the "Power saving mode" (two below the "Brightness" setting)?
That option says "Save power by analyzing image and adjusting LCD brightness". Maybe the browser isn't playing nice with that function.
For the record... Mine is checked and I see the brightness increase on the browser too. I am not in a position to test it at the moment.
"power saving mode" on or off I can independently adjust system and browser brightness.

There is another brightness setting under the browser opt ins when you load the browser itself
so we got 3 brightness settings
Sadly yes lol

4. Don't forget the tmobile app does some kind of auto brightness too iirc.

The browser has a setting because a majority of websites are white, this is the opposite of most of the phone's Apps, so it makes sense that the browser would be different. If your phone has brightness up and you are reading a website at night, odds are you don't want the bright white light blinding you.

I know this is an old post, but damn! I've been laughing my A$# off for 15 minutes straight after reading that! And it was the first anwser! You are a genius
I'm creating this thread to collect bugs found in the Oreo software that devs can take a look at for their ROMs, and possibly report to HTC depending on importance.
My first bug is cosmetic. The app icons are not consistent at all, and this goes further than the home screen launcher. If you hit the share button, the size of the icons vary, some big and some small.
My second bug is a little more annoying, and I'm not sure how to replicate. I was using Google Maps in and out of PiP mode (I drive Uber, so I come in and out of Maps constantly), and after some extensive switching, the PiP app wouldn't maximize, and my Recent Apps panel would not activate. The actual recents button could still activate multi-window, but it wouldn't cycle through the last two apps or activate the Recents carousel. The behavior returned to normal after a reboot. I am currently stock rooted, but I'm quite certain that has nothing to do with this issue. I will report if this happens again, and pay more attention to any possible causes. I might report this one to HTC.
My third bug is cosmetic, but a little on the annoying side. When switching Bluetooth audio profiles (found in dev options, for those who don't know), the codec that is displayed doesn't change, but you still hear the difference in audio. Also, aptx HD doesn't work for me. When selected, I hear no difference in the sound.
Ok....so my nav buttons are not working, but my home button is still working....am In the only one who is experiencing this? It is very sporadic, and fixes with a reboot.

You're not the only one. My Nav buttons stopped responding 3 times in last 2 days. Had to restart.

PIP is not convenient to use now. For example, you can open youtube.com in chrome, request desktop site, play some video in fullscreen, press home button, then you get your PIP feature.
After update my battery reduction too much..
Maybe not exactly bugs, but a few things that bother me are how ugly the icons are and that it's using the default notification sound when I'm on low battery and it plays the notification sound coming in and out of night mode as well. I don't need to be notified with a sound about coming in and out of night mode and I'd prefer the regular buzz buzz sound of the low battery rather than thinking I got a message of something.
I hate the persistent notifications of things running in the background or drawing over... Not a bug, but a 'feature'.

It might seem a weird thing to do but try clearing cache and data from Google play services, playstore etc. I remember when I turned off all permissions to playservices my buttons stopped working as well except home button. Worth a try.

here the second solution works for me in my htc u11 whit oreo
https://www.thecustomdroid.com/hide-persistent-notifications-on-android-oreo/
Turn on Wi-Fi automatically
Turn on Wi-Fi automatically function is missing in wifi preferences, according to oreo new function it as to be there
The settings area on top has got to be the stupidest thing they have done. "Suggestions". Who the hell cares about it. Mine will not go away. Keeps saying connect usonic ear phones. I deleted all of touch pal junk as well.

Probably more a feature than a bug, but I miss being able to pull down the notification shade and toggling between Do Not Disturb, Priority Mode, and Normal. Now tapping the icon just turns on Priority Mode. I can't seem to find an easy way to turn on Do Not Disturb without long-pressing the icon. Does anyone else know a better way?

You can turn off the night mode notification. I set it to still show the icon in the top bar but not make a sound. It took a while to find, and I forget where it is. Maybe the notification settings for the system app.
When the screen is off and you double click the power button to access camera, it will not pop up with a preference choice (assuming you have more than one camera installed) unless you time it exactly with putting your fingerprint on the scanner
My shortcut options when you long press an icon are completely gone on every launcher.
Edit: Suddenly works. Odd.
My phone's bluetooth connects with my car's. Tried to play spotify But the audio plays on my phone still. My car sees th title of the song, just for display....Wasn't like this before the update... Must be the bluetooth 5.0 thing?
