L09 Nougat - auto screen dimming in Chrome or dialer

[yaninowe]

Hi guys, does any of you know how to disable auto screen dimming in chrome or dialer or email on nougat? MM had different power profiles that allowed user to pick whichever they prefer. Such option is not available in Nougat. This is quite annoying I have to say as screen in web browser is constantly much dimmer than elsewhere.
I understand battery life consideration at all but above is not a good experience really.
I'm on 378 (just got OTA today). Stock.
Thanks

This is due to the OTA. Had the same issue and fixed it with the following procedure:

Downgrade to B182 FULL rom by using the official Huwaei downgrade package (from Nougat to C300 and than using dload to install the full B182 package).
After that is installed and the phone boots you go to hicare and enable 'pioneer' os package. After a few minutes check the updater app in setting and you will get the upgrade package to B378.
Install it and gone are the issues.

Well it appears that auto dimming is a feature of nougat on P9. Officially updated phone also exhibits this issue -brightness change depending on the app. quite annoying to say the least.

When coming from B182 and updating to B378 via the updater (official update) I do not have this problem. Once I do a factory reset then the problem arises...

Annoying 'feature' to say the least

Totally agree.
As a side note: a friend of mine owns Honor 8. Guess what? He did update his device to N and it exhibits exactly the same annoying issue: screen auto dims once dialer or chrome are launched.
Someone at Huawei should literally be kicked in the b for this. No choice to disable this annoying feature, nothing.

It's not the Nougat! I have the same problems with B166 and B182!

laboratik, how do I "enable 'pioneer' os package"

in the hicare app you should have an entry/button that marks 'os pioneer' clicking on that immediately gave the option to upgrade to the latest b378 from the updater app. as long as you do not factory reset your device you wont have the screen dimming!

On b182 you can go to power settings and enable performance power plan - this will fix the problem. No such option in N unfortunately :/

solved by force stop, dissable boot, freeze Power Genius (com.Huawei.powergenie) in sd maid.
maybe imonitor (com.huawei.imonitor) is also battery app, if somebody knows??

Just bought an Honor 8 a couple of weeks ago and doing this just solved the dimming issue for me...thanks because this crap was driving me crazy
