Display dimming unless plugged in
05-07-2021, 01:36 PM
Hi everybody
I just received my pinephone beta with convergence pack which is the latest they offer with Manjaro and Plasma Mobile.
Things have gone perfectly with it. I have updated and upgraded everything perfectly but for some reason at the end of the day yesterday the display goes to black unless I hold my finger on the display. Initially I thought that it may have been related to low battery which was at 15% so plugging it in fixed it. But today with full charge the display shows itself only momentarily and then dims. If plugged in its fine.
The "display brightness" slider that I access by dragging the screen down will slide itself to left and dim the display. If I drag it to the right to full brightness it stays there while my finger is on it, if I remove it the slider slides back to left and gives a black screen.
I don't that this is related to an update as the phone was fine for a while after I updated and upgraded. Its just went like this for seemingly no reason.
Can anybody possibly suggest a way forward here?
Thanks for amy help.
