Display keeps dimming
#1
Hello,

I hope I'm right here. I experience a weird behaviour for some time now with my KDE Community Edition PinePhone:

As long as I touch the screen, the brightness goes to normal. As soon as I lift my finger, the screen dims down to minimum immediatly.
The problem does not appear, as long as the phone is charging. But if it is not connected to the charger, the Pinephone is unusable like this. Shortly everything was ok, maybe this has come from a recent update.

What could be the reason? System is up to date...

Not every time, but sometimes when trying to power the phone off, an error appears and I get a mouse pointer. But the screen is too dark to read the error message (even with flashlight). The phone stays in this state until powering it of the hard way.

I found this thread which might provide a solution. But I'd prefer not to touch system files.
Did anybody experience this and solved it?
