Hi,
Enjoying the new Fairphone 6.
One problem - when a notification comes in, the screen wakes but is very dark. The screen brightness is normally fine. I don’t see an separate option for the notification brightness.
Am i doing something wrong or should i report a bug?

Hi and welcome to the community forum 
I haven’t seen the FP6 yet but I would imagine that your notifications are being displayed using AOD rather than actually turning on the screen’s normal lighting. If so, I would think that is the intended behaviour. The idea is that AOD allows you to see whether anything’s happened recently just by glancing at the screen. But if the screen were full “on” all the time you’d have no battery left well before the end of the day!
Presumably all you have to do is to touch the screen for it to display with normal brightness.
Thanks for your response, @OldRoutard
I agree that it makes sense to show the notification at a dimmer brightness than normal, but the screen is so dark, you can’t actually see the messages. Needing to touch the screen defeats the purpose.
Sounds like I should raise this with Fairphone.
Not to my mind. The principal object is just to let you know that something has happened. In the old days before the FP4, we had a coloured LED that informed of a waiting notification in the same way. The LED used very little power, so it didn’t matter if it went unacknowledged for a while. Likewise the OLED screen to a certain extent. But you wouldn’t want to have the screen full on for notifications, it would run down the battery.
Hi,
I’ll respond to that answer.
On iOS, for example, when the screen is off and you receive a notification, you can see it clearly. On the FP6, you can see that something has happened, but honestly, you don’t know any more than that. This is quite problematic because you then have to pick up the FP6 to get an overview of the notifications you’ve received.
