I have an unidentified Head unit (this one http://www.preston-i-c-e.co.uk/vw-006-oem.php) and I've obviously changed something with buttons and now the screen turns itself off after a few seconds.
Brightness is set on auto, and to keep awake. Sat Nav stays lit all time, but any other app turns screen off.
Attached is system details. I'd love to know more about it!
contact the guys you bought it from?
i think there's a setting for screen auto off time, but you have to look for it. my unit(s) don't have this.
try display settings, under brightness, or factory settings somewhere...

Great phone but, it appears to be a bug with the screen dimming.
Regarding settings, I have everything turned off. Adapt display is off. Auto-brightness is off. Auto-adjust screen tone is off also.
I know Samsung displays dim if the phone overheats but my phone will auto-dim even if the phone is cool.
What I've found out is that the phone will only dim "permanently" when the screen is about to shut off.
For example: Set the screen shut off to 30 seconds and around the 28 second mark, the screen will dim for a couple of seconds before it shuts off. This is where the auto-dimming will "permanently" kick in. When the screen dims at the 28 second mark for a second, i'll touch the screen so it doesn't shut off. But by this time, the screen has dimmed already and won't go back to the regular brightness. I have to lock and unlock the phone for the dimmed screen to go away.
This scenario has happened every single time. Extremely annoying.
Anyone else experience this?

Hi
As the other user said it might be the software bug.
Please try this app. Disable your auto brightness and install this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite
This lite version is free. Try this. If everything works, you may consider the paid version to support the dev guy...
My display will dim down to half of the brightness it was set at and will not brighten back up. To get it to brighten back up I either have to turn the display off and back on or touch the brightness slider. Any ideas on how to get this to stop? Display is set to standard, Adapt display is unchecked. Everything is turn off with Smart Screen. Auto Brightness is unchecked. I am running NC2
This is super annoying!
Happens to me too. I also am not able to turn off or restart my phone. It gets to a point where the menu button and back button are lit up and the blue led is lit at the top with a black screen but stays that way until i do a battery pull. All this started after going to nc2. Tried different roms and didnt change a thing.

It is crazy annoying! Are more of you having this problem?
Just bouch myself an AvinUSA player for my BMW.
But one of the function is a pain in the %&ยค. The function is that it dims the screen when lights are turned on.
Witch is useless, live in Nothern Norway, where there is sun 24/7 at summer. But we must have headlights
turned on at all time by law.
Ive Rooted the device and looked at pretty much all files there is, but cant find the file where i can dissable the
unit from "sensing" my turning on/off lights on the car.
The Android screen light is locket at 100%, so its the cars system who is adjust the lights outside the
Android system.
So my question is, HOW can i locate the file or make the unit NOT adjust the screen dimming when my lights are on.
All help is welcome!
Send them an email. I've heard they respond well to questions. I'm planning on buying one and i'm gonna have this problem as well (i don't live in Norway but I need my lights on all the time, even coded them to be on, on auto setting)

Hi
Unfortunately, there is no setting to disable that.
_______
So i need to do this on my own. iknow its the "interface app" who is overriding the Android brightness. so its some codes in that
where i need to remove the dimming function. But cant fint it :/
hi had the same problem.
u need to go to settings then factory settings. it will ask you for a passcode. its 1314. then under arm settings on your left hand side scroll all the way at the bottom. u will see a setting option that say "whether the backlight is controlled by the original car light" its set to default "controlled" change it to 'uncontrolled"
i attached a picture for you.
Hi,
I have Chevrolet sonic and I buy witson unit direct fit with canbus, px5 4gb ram 32 rom.
The unit have 2 brightness settings, default and night mode.
the night mode suppose to activate when car lights are on, on my can I have automatic lights system and the automatic light is activated, when I turn on the car druing sunny day the drl (day running lights) are on, and the android thinks that lights are on so the night mode is activated al the time..
if I shutdown the lights on the car completely, then the android brightness is OK.
I can't find any solution for that issue, I do needs drl by law in Israel druing winter, but I need lower brightness from the android at night too.
Anyone had such issue and found a solution? Maybe there is some app thsr can change brightness by time of day?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Try going into the factory setting menu, password 126 and on the last page there is a setting for brightness trigger method - I can't remember the exact name but have a look. It worked for me on my Eonon MTCE PX5
Hi, I am using my OP 8 pro at 120hz Qhd with auto brightness off but I can still observe brightness change shortly after opening some apps.
Is anyone aware of a ADB command to put screen settings to definitive values?
Do you have eye comfort on or off?
Ambient on or off?
Also bare in mind that the auto brightness toggle is at the end of the brightness slider.
In regards to the apps, if it's in gamemode then it could be raising it for that then reverting. Check settings for game mode or turn it off altogether and test.
