auto-brightness problem phone screen going to completely dim

[DonF22]

Hi, I've applied all recent updates but my Pine Phone KDE Plasma (community edition) keeps automatically going auto-brightness to completely dim. 
Is anybody else having this problem and what is the solution?  
Settings Slider keeps scooting to the left and the phone screen goes completely dark. 
thanks 
Don

Yup, seems to me a phosh feature. Only option at present us to do brightness manually.

Did you try to adjust display timeout setting using Settings -> Screen?
I did and got the same situation as you did.
I solved that to manually editing the file /.config/powermanagementprofilesrc
It seems that the Screen settings app inserted there [BrightnessControl] value 0.5, which is not 50 % but 0.5 in a scale of hundred or 0.5% . Also needed to edit the screen timeout values to reasonable ones.

Editing the file worked, I figured out nano.
I didn't see the screen timeout values tho, what are they called?  
Thanks very much

They are in different [DimDisplay] sections and called "idleTime"

how do you open /.config/powermanagementprofilesrc ? can I do it on the phone itself? or do I need to plug it into the dock? I found the .config folder, but it is greyed out and says "nothing here" when I open it. do I need to use terminal and sudo commands?
