I just got myself a dock for the N7 (the official asus dock, that is).
i have setup the tablet to stay on when docked, which it does just fine, but after a certain amount of time, the display dims, but i want it to stay at full brightness all the time.
It seems to be dimming at the time set in Display-Sleep, but the Max. value on that is 30 minutes, and i want it to just stay bright all the time.
Is there any way to do this?
I am running rasbeanjelly 4.3 and m.kernel a61

I've noticed that my Fascinate's screen dims before going dark. Is there any way to disable this behavior? I use keep phone overnight in a desk dock, running the app 'Bedside' to display an extremely dim clock. The phone's automatic 'dimming' actually seems to brighten black portion of the screen a tiny amount.
I've messed around with the display settings, but thusfar had no success. Does anyone know of a workaround?
Has anyone else noticed visible lag (~2-4s) say:
- after you unlock the screen (assuming the phone was not used for 5-10 minutes)
- and the screen comes up with low brightness
- till the screen returns to brightness (say when it is set to auto).
The lag is between the 2nd and 3rd step
Or another lag of (~1-1.5s), when you touch the screen, when it is been:
- a dim screen (when one has stopped using it for sometime, but not off yet and the brightness goes down),
and then you touch... till it attains:
- the normal brightness that the screen is supposed to be (say when set of auto).
I have noticed both behaviors like 8-10 times during last one day.
The native auto brightness algorithm and control really sucks. I use Velis auto brightness app from the market. Way much better.

I've updated my LG G2 to KitKat Stock and now I've found that when playing some apps, the screen dims and finally turns off as if the phone was idle. In Android 4.2, if you were playing a game, the screen would stay on as long as the game was loaded, but in 4.4 it seems the thing has changed.
I haven't touched the screen timeout and its in the default value (30 seconds). Any idea if I have to configure something extra by my side or is this an issue with 4.4?
As a workarround, I can set a higher screen timeout, but the idea is to keep the screen on while gaming instead of just increase the timeout.
Running the Alliance rom, clean install on stock slot. No other major issues that I can think of. I've got it set to maximum brightness, not on auto dimmer. When the screen dims after 30 seconds or so, when its about to turn off due to inactivity, half the time when I tap the screen, it recovers to full brightness. The other half the time, it gets a little brighter than the dim mode, but not much. It stays way dimmer than the full brightness setting that I keep it on. I have to pull the notification bar down, slide the dimmer down, and back up to maximum, and I'm good to go until the next time it does it. Which could be in 30 seconds when it dims again.
Anybody else having this issue?

I have the same thing happening. Personally I have been too lazy about it to check through settings to see if I've done something. I'll check on it and see if I can find a fix.
*Update*
I've checked through all my settings and can find nothing that might cause it. I don't have Auto Brightness set, nor do I have Auto Adjust Screen Tone turned on. I saw nothing in the Alliance Settings either. I believe it is a system setting that is probably buried in code somewhere (far beyond my knowledge).
**Update** I reported the bug in the Alliance Forum.
I tend to agree. I've looked through settings, etc. just as you have, to no avail. I'm nearly certain it's done it since install, so I don't think it's something that I've changed. But I could be wrong. I've also tried it with auto adjust turned on, does the same thing. Auto adjusts to a dimmer setting sometimes
I came from a Nexus 5 and had to always leave my screen brightness on about 1/3 in order to preserve battery. After playing with my 6P for over a month, I feel like the battery can handle a brighter setting (with my usage). But, I have concerns about burn-in if I put the setting too high since this is an AMOLED panel.
What brightness settings are you using and have you had any issues with burn-in?
I will get this started. I first started by activating the Adaptive Brightness under the display settings.
It makes the screen dimmer - to my eyes even though it sets the overall brightness to exactly half way.
I thought my whites looked somewhat grey at that setting so I turned it off and put my screen back down to 1/3 (LOL) and I am pleased with the results - especially at night as the whites look whiter.
anything past half at night burns in my retinas much less the screen.
I have not noticed any less Screen on time. I still get about 4.5 - 5 hours until it hits 15%. This is with location turned on and email push. I don't use twitter, facebook or any of those social apps the young people are using these days.
Is there an easy way to dim the screen to the point where you can't see the picture? I stream the phone in my car, which means it will get hot with charging, screen on, and high usage simultaneously. Since it is an AMOLED screen, it would not allow for screen off like other devices. Seems like without this, burn in would be a big problem for me.
I would think that you could just do the 2 finger swipe to bring it to the default menu. Then set the slider down as low as possible until you can barely see anything. I took a 5 hour drive today with my Nexus 6P with the girlfriend and had it plugged in for at least 2 hours at a time. My phone did not get really warm while either plugged or when running on battery.
Also I have enabled the System UI Tuner and now my phone screen only stays on when plugged into the power source if I select "stay on when plugged in"

No burn in issues? I would think there is a way to reduce brightness beyond stock but I don't know enough to do that at this point. Perhaps through Xposed it something.

I had a gnex that I kept on low brightness and refused to get another nexus until battery was straightened out. On my dmaxx, I kept the brightness high and no burn in on the amoled. The 6p isn't as good at battery, despite being huge, but it's good enough. I keep it on 60-100 brightness, using lux to adjust it as needed. No burn in so far
