I don't think this has anything to do with PA's power management code,
since it pops up pretty randomly on WeTab, varying from boot to boot.
It's pretty annoying, but I think it's caused by a problem on a much
lower level of the stack Try rebooting, it might work perfectly
next time...
Good to know, that it is not the fault of PA
I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like that to me.
As the brightness of the screen on my wetab did not get brighter, i tried
discharging it. At about 30% battery-status, the screen got bright again.
I will wait, if the screen gets darker again, and then try the same. Wetabs
fault or PAs fault?
I've noticed that some wetabs try to be smart about screen brightness, and set
it depending on the surrounding light (so if you put the finger above the
sensor, it changes brightness). THat's utterly annoying, but as far as I know,
nothing we can do about it.
Yes, I noticed the same thing, and this is why I wrote that I don't
think it's PA's fault. However, sometimes my Wetab stops trying to
adjust to the surrounding light and respects the user setting instead. I
have no idea what causes the switch.
Iirc the original WeTab-OS had an option to switch the light sensor on
and off. It would be nice if someone could find out what that option
does in the background and switch it off in PA, but that's not a task
for the core PA team, of course.
I guess that we'll have to file it under "Wetab is crap" and live with
this for now.
