I found the autobright option (middle setting on the widget) doesn't brighten the screen as much as in version 1.6. Is there a setting that can be modified to increase this threshold?
When i set it to full bright (last setting on the widget), although very bright and crisp, I find it kills my battery life.
The only settings I've found about brightness are the ones of the widget and the ones in the setup menu, under the voice "display settings", I didn't found anything you need but if I'll found I'll let you know, specially if you can tell me how to disable the autobright option at all, leaving the brightness at a value that I want, without any changes by the sensor. I hope this is possible, because my battery is really eaten by my display
I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
Hi guys, a question: setting the brightness manual, you noticed by chance if entering some Apps like Facebook, Gmail, Chrome etc the same is lowered and then return to the set value when you leave? Thanks to those who will answer.
That is even with the auto brightness ticked-off and smart screen feature also off, the screen will automatically lowered after few seconds I opened the Facebook app, Chrome app for example.
same problem..
This is a serious problem with the software, but a intented one. Really makes me think about whether I keep this phone or not.
This video adresses the problem at minute 3:20.
Also the flickering of the display is a issue for sensitive users. This is the most flickering oled display I've seen so far. Adressed at minute 2:55
I really hope Huawei adresses and fixes this strange programmed behaviour. But I'm afraid they won't, because the Mate 10 Pro and P20 Pro also have this automatic brightness limiting.

Check whether the light sensor is working. The screen brightness may not adjust properly if the light sensor is covered by other objects.
Please adjust the screen brightness if you think the screen is too bright or too dark. Go to Settings and select Display > Brightness.
Please check whether the AUTO switch in the Brightness level menu is enabled. If the AUTO switch is not enabled, the screen brightness may fail to adjust automatically. You can go to Settings > Display > Brightness level to enable the AUTO switch
Dude, this is so off topic. Has nothing to do with the sensor. It is software.
Check the internet for Huawei brightness dimming, screen dimming and power genius. You will find many topics which adress this problem. It is a problem in many Huawei phones. Mate 9, Mate 10 Pro, P10, P20 pro, they all suffer from this same problem which the Mate 20 Pro also happens to have unfortunately...
Is there a solution for this problem, I also have the same issue on my Mate 20 PRO. Is any chance to EMUI 9.1 solve this problem ?
Removing powergenie through adb solves this problem
What is the adb?

So, I've tested this phone for a while now and saw that something was up with the refresh rate of the display. I use Nova Launcher and I could tell that it wasn't as smooth as their own launcher, or the system settings for example. In developer options I turned on the "show refresh rate" toggle and the values were weird, to say the least. When it is operating at 120Hz and everything is smooth, it shows the number 10, but when I go to Nova Launcher, or Reddit Sync for example it shows 60. All of this only happens on the Auto mode, but that is the point of the LTPO Display, so it can work its magic. So as it seems the software doesn't show correctly when its running in 120Hz mode. Also, I would very much like to have Apps that I deem worthy run in 120Hz mode too, not just the ones it chooses by itself.
Strange. My phone is working like it should. Shows 10 fps when the screen is not moving. Shows 120fps as I start moving. I also tested YouTube and videos show the correct fps. 30 fps and 60 fps depending on the video.

Mines exactly the same
well Imma guess that it's something related to me importing my old backup, cause that messed up the AOD too (doesn't matter what I do, it won't turn on)

Is there any app that can adjust this per app? I also use some apps that only run at 60hz

In principle, the level of brightness that you have on influences, manual brightness, I think that from 80-85% brightness it goes from 5 to 1 in refresh rate. I put a capture.
Definitely to do with brightness
At lowest brightness on auto refresh rate, it seems to never drop below 120hz except in certain apps like maps where it'll go to 60hz.
But if I put brightness at about 30%, it can drop to 10hz.
So I wonder what's more battery efficient 0% brightness at 120hz or 30% brightness at 10hz
When in a dark environment, and forced into the 120Hz mode, the LTPO panel’s power consumption isn’t all that different from an LTPS panel ~180mW power penalty that is present at all times, even on a black static screen, because of 120 Hz. That penalty comes from the measured power, with 640 mW and 465 mW in the respective 120 and 60Hz modes. Under a brighter ambient conditions, the panel showcases its technology advantages, and power consumption drops drastically. In the 120Hz mode but with the minimum refresh rate now in the regular '48 Hz' setting, the power figure drops from 640mW to 428mW, which is a massive 220mW drop.

The phone operating under dark conditions seems to disable the 'seamless' variable refresh rate display, that allows the phone to go into lower frequency modes, but not in all circumstances

When it comes to the difference in the battery runtimes between running the phone in a dark or a bright environment, there are somewhat small difference. In the 60Hz maximum refresh mode, VRR/LFD gains the phone an additional 4% of battery life. In the 120Hz mode, we see a larger 8.5% jump in runtime.

I am having this issue also. I get only 60Hz with Nova but using default launcher I get 120Hz and it is adaptive.
So far I setting entire device at 120Hz but would prefer if there was option to enable adaptive working with Nova

The problem is not that the GT2 PRO does not have an option to enable adaptive refresh rate with Nova, the problem is that Nova is not fully optimized with Android 12.

It seems to be incorrect. In nova Discord, Administrator said Nova work well with LTPO 2.0 screen. And as far as I can see, all launcher I tested don't work with LTPO on realme GT 2 pro except default launcher...
Use set edit and put peak_refresh rate to 1 Also i added user_refresh rate to 1 and min_refresh rate to 1. Now is working 120 & variable rate in all app.

It seem ok after reboot ! I don't know how you find this but good work. Thank you.
Edit : after few minutes nova go back to 60htz. System setting "peaking_refresh_rate" automatically go back to 60
Set your screen to 120 (High) in settings, and never change )
Will this just force 120hz or working LTPO for 3rd party apps?
Working ltpo, If You want only 120 enter same settings by adb.
Ok but what's exactly the point of your settings?
If I set 120hz always in settings, LTPO will also work and go down to 60-30-10hz if not touching the display
Lol, this is for apps with no 120hz support like camera, some browsers, other launchers, even some games
Hello,
I have this phone for a couple of days now and the refresh rate managment is so bad on it. In apps like Youtube or Twitch it jumps between 60 and 30 Hz making videos stutter. Games are also locked to 60 Hz/60 FPS however this can partially be worked around with SetEdit. Sadly even after changing refresh rate values in SetEdit the refresh rate and FPS lowers as soon as I lift my finger from the screen and this leads to stutter in games that require you to swipe often etc.
Finally I found that after enabling "Disable permission monitoring" in developer options in combination with SetEdit, makes the refresh rate stay at 120 Hz all the time and the stuttering in apps is gone and FPS in games doesn't drop as soon as I lift my finger from the screen. This is all great but I am unsure how safe it is to disable permission monitoring. I tried some apps and they still ask for permissions. I even tried to grant permission via ADB and it wouldn't let me because "the app didn't ask for this permission". Does anyone have an idea what exactly this option does and how dangerous is to leave permission monitoring disabled?
TL;DR: Found out that I can fix refresh rate to 120Hz with "Disable permission monitoring" developer option enabled but I don't know how safe it is to leave it like that.
I believe is used only when install app s from adb. Its safe to use.
For me, turning "disable permission monitoring" to "on" is not enough to have 120Hz in all apps. It works in system launcher, settings and some apps but in many apps refresh rate still goes down to 30 / 60Hz (especially when brightness is above 50%). I need to use additional app to have always 120Hz. Did you change anything else that enabling "disable permission monitoring" is enough?
I am looking everywhere what else in the system changes when this setting is "on" but can't find any information so far.

Nah, I have to use SedEdit + "Disable permission monitoring" to make it stay at 120 Hz permamently. I bought the 2$ feature pack for SetEdit so it automatically changes the refresh values when I open the app after restarting my phone.
What I would like to do is to skip the "Disable permission monitoring" because it sounds like a security threat but I can't seem to find a workaround for this yet. I tired giving IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS permission to a game but it won't let me. Tried some other command that whitelisted the same app to ignore the battery optimizations and the command worked but it didn't fix the problem with FPS dropping after I lift my finger off the screen.
There's clearly some terrible "optimization" working in the background and we have no control over it which is a sad joke. And it's not an Android problem because I tested the same excact thing on S21 Ultra 5G and it sticks to 120Hz when it should. It's BBK doing it and refusing to even talk about it (the same thing happens on all BBK phones from what I gathered).
Edited first post to clear things up and corrected it a bit.
Can you share which refresh values you change in SetEdit?
put peak_refresh rate to 1
Peak refresh rate in setedit app. Change it to "1" and 120Hz will be system wide enabled. No need to play with other permissions.
Works on my GT2 so it should work in GT2 Pro as well.

It is not enough to force 120Hz permamently. It is still variable (dropping to 60,30 or 1 Hz depending on displayed content and screen brightness) after setting peak refreshrate to 1

On the GT2 panel it stays at 120 Hz permanently. But then again I know it is a different type of panel then the one on the GT2 Pro.
