I want to point out that none of the above tweak worked.
They only reduce the minimum auto-brightness value to 0, but can't bypass the firmware/hardware limitation.
The only way I know is to install an app called "screen filter", which used a tricky way to dim your screen.
But AFAIK this fix would greatly decrease the contrast of your screen, thus cannot watch video well inside dark room(you have to disable it).
Still searching a way for solving this issue, and I know that Apple's IPS screen have a SLIGHTLY BETTER low-light settings of their phone. I once compared them directly.
Dunno why AMOLED can't do it, maybe it has something to do with those black dots.

I haven't looked at the newer kernels so I haven't been using it. The initial stock offerings were always buggy when I used SetCPU, especially when I used a screen-off profile to set the speeds pretty low. I did that on my old G1 and the battery life did increase quite a bit.
Not likely to really help with the battery if you are not over clocking. If you get system panel app you can view in real time the cpu use. You could cap the top end to 600 or 800 MHz, but with the new roms there really isn't much need 'cause the battery life is excellent now and has been for 2-3 months now.
I use it along side the superpower app to set a pretty strict sleep profile. Thinking about adding taskser too, but that might just be overkill.
I'm using SetCPU with multiple profiles set to drop cpu with screen off and with battery under 50%, also using JuiceDefender, and took this screen shot today:

Download a pixel test app from the play store, if the line is still present you've got a problem with your screen.

I flashed another ROM no pixels are broken or dmg.
Hi,
It seems a battery bar mode for me... Check the battery settings in Foxhound settings (or it's called Foxhound extra), it's in some additional settings... In battery options/battery bar or similar...
Like this:

Hum, we not see realy good but the line of my screenshot is exactly at the same area as the OP and it's a battery bar mod. According to the battery percentage and the longer of the line from the OP, pretty sure it's this mode, no?

Yellow tint...is this normal?

I have a TF201 and it has a warmer yellow tone to it.
Watching Simpsons on it looks great but other than that, watching regular stuff the skin tones are overly yellowing.
Here's a picture of what I mean:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The paper is supposed to be white...the lack of lighting in the room makes it look bluish...but you can compare the difference.
Thoughts?
Am I being overly picky here?
Others have reported a yellow tint.
My screen also is too yellow, but I didn't want to return my Prime because of the chance of getting one that was defective in a more serious way! There is a relatively simple solution if the yellow tone is bothering you -- use an app like Screen Adjuster than can change the tint of the display. There are plenty of other apps that may be better, but I haven't tried them.
Note that Screen Adjuster does not have a "decrease yellow" option -- using colour theory, I instead added blue.
Also, if you want something to show up as white in photos, learn to use your camera's White Balance feature!
Do you have it in power saving mode?

Power saving mode supposedly just reduces contrast, it isn't supposed to alter colour balance. I find I have the yellow tint regardless of which mode I choose.

[Q] Help with resolution

Hi all,
I've changed the resolution using NOMone Resolution Changer, and when i try to set the default config, some things becomes weird.

Have you ever tried changing your resolution from high to low on PC ?
Things become bigger too, same thing is happening with your phone.
Also why do you want to lower the resolution?
How can I change the resolution using a PC? ADB?
I read that moto maxx have a small power save when down the resolution of QHD to FHD... I've tried to down to HD, and changed the DPI to look smaller...
But when i try to set stock resolution and DPI, some things becomes bigger...
The "Resolution Changer" show me the resolution, and show it right like on SS!

The thing I said about PC was just example, nothing to do with changing resolution of Z2.
Well, I guess if you want to lower down the power consumption then turn on Stamina Mode, lower down the brightness of the screen. That will add you extra juice
Kkkk ok ok!
I,ve tried a extra extra Juice!
Thx!

Screen brightness

Do you feel Huawei does a bad job with the automatic brightness levels, specially at night when it goes zero and makes video view look really bad.
Try the app lux lite, or the premium. I find it to work great and it let you link the brightness with the lx, to suit your requirements even more.

IMHO it's not bad. Of course it's not as good as the iPhone but my HTC 10 is a lot worse. The auto brightness is always slow to respond to surrounding brightness.
I think it is bad. At night it goes to zero! Impossible to look at. So i have to manually adjust brightness. And yes my eyesight is good.

For me it's ok it does that. Also the auto brightness remembers the percentage you manually set (while keeping the auto enabled) so next time you gonna have the percentage you previously set in those conditions. This resets when you disable the auto btw.
Ok, so now what is the solution for this.. How can we adjust our screen brightness in night.
