sRGB option reset after exiting developer options - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Anyone had success in activating sRGB and keeping it turned on?
I was fiddling with the options and tried switching on sRGB, thinking it was activated I took pictures but it looked the same. Then when i went back to the developer option, the sRGB toggle was switched off. Everytime I manually switch it on, and left the developer options menu, the sRGB option will automatically switch off.
Tried searching for it but the only hint I found was about secure startup (need to disable for the sRGB to persist), but for that scenario it only toggles off after the phone resets. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/srgb-mode-resetting-reboot-t3252038
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I too tried this and got same results as yours.
P.S. What's the main purpose of sRGB?

If I am not mistaken, should be able to reproduce better color on screen, but I'm not so sure

That would be a cool feature to have.

No. SRGB produces natural colour which looks washed out. Some may prefer some may not. Personally i like vivid and bright colors on display

Didn't understand your post dude. Are you saying that you were able to keep the sRGB setting after switching off secure startup?

Ah sorry, I was referring to the users of Huawei Nexus 6P's experience, where when users toggled it on, it stays on until the phone is reset, after-which the toggle switches off automatically. They noted that for it to persistently switch on even after reset, the user needs to disable secure startup.

You could try a different rom. Or you can try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
It's also a nice way to get your screen even darker.
The only draw back is the status bar notification.

problem solved by turning on power saver mode anyway. but thanks for trying to help me
option B
You can download a hidden menu app from the play store. Then go into the application "engineer mode". There you will find a button to turn the lights for the buttons on & off.
Here are some screenshots of the menu.

Do Not Disturb and Toast notifications

I have been looking everywhere trying to find a solution to this. I hope someone can help. I use Do Not Disturb mode when sleeping, as many do. However, while all the "noises" are stopped, I still get pop-up messages for email, texts, phone calls, etc. I have my phone set for priority mode, with only a few select numbers able to ring through. That works, but the pop-ups mentioned still come through. In a dark room, those pop-ups are VERY bright, even on a very small portion of the screen. I know I can turn them off within the apps, but I do use them when not sleeping. Is there a way around this, or am I stuck?
Thank you anyone!
So here, you want to disable the toast/heads-up notifications, while your device is in DND mode?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I know I can do it manually, by turning them off, and then having to turn them back on again after I wake up. This doesn't seem to be the most ideal way though, in my opinion. I would have thought Do Not Disturb actually meant "Do Not Disturb", but apparently not completely. Unless I'm missing something.
Any suggestions?

I am using N, and clearly not sure whether MM has this option or not.
Try going to Settings > Sound > Do not disturb > Black visual disturbances
I hope, there you will find what you need.

Thank you for the information - that sounds perfect. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be an option in MM, but at least I know it's coming! Maybe it's time to take the plunge into N. I've been reluctant since it would be on my daily driver, and not sure about stability, etc. Maybe I should just give it a try. Thanks again.

navigation bar colors Huawei p10 lite

Hi.
My Huawei p10 lite doesn't allow to modify the color of the navigation and notification bars when opening any app. Apparently the color is locked (it's a dark orange) and app like navbar are not able to modify in any way the fixed color.
Only when opening "Settings" the bars are white and in home screen, where navigation bar is transparent.
The phone came with a telephone company brand (which logo, by the way, has same basic color of the navigation bar) but other customers I contacted throug socials that got the phone with same conditions from the same brand, seem don't have the issue.
Is there any idea how to unlock the navigation bar color without being root or go through other invasive expedients?
Thanks a lot,
Luca.
This happened to me when I asked Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. I got super annoyed by the orange colour. So I tried telling it to turn it off but it wouldnt, so I scrolled up on my Google assistant history and flipped the switch where it said power saving mode. As soon as I did that the orange was gone.

Thank you, I'm still get along with the orange bars!
Please, may be so kind to illustrate the procedure in detail? I cannot figure out how to enter the google assistant history. By the way, to my knowledge I didn't turned on the power saving mode, unless I did it accidentally.
Thank you for helping me,
Luc.

It only happens when asking Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. Try saying "Ok Google turn on power saving mode" and it might bring up a switch. If it doesnt, then to access what you've said before just say Ok Google or hold your home button then scroll up and keep on scrolling to find a switch. If there is no switch then I have no idea what the orange means.

Note that the orange stripes on the nav and notification bars appear on any app of my phone, except for Settings and home page.
Thanks,

Ok, have you tried changing the theme?
If not, then let's start:
1st: Find your themes app.
2nd: Go to the "Me" tab.
3rd: Choose any theme (those on the bottom are downloaded)
4th: Tap on the theme you want and tap apply.
If you have changed the theme then maybe download a theme which changes the navbar? (If I find one I'll try to send it.)
Ok here's one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15UOMMsz22_4NHnv0Ue2K5h_qxFH3zhvl/view?usp=drivesdk

It doesn't work, the orange is still there, at least applying your file. I've changed few more themes but nothing changed to the colors of the bars... :crying::crying:
Aww man... I don't know what to recommend... Maybe go to your local repair shop and ask?

I'm sure this is probably the Google power saving mode that is enabled. It shouldn't always be enabled, because it usually turns off once your battery is fully charged. Try installing Activity Launcher here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
Open the app, on the top of the screen, tap on "Recent activities" and choose "All activities".
Scroll down until you find Settings > Battery Saver > Turn on automatically, and choose "Never".
Hopefully this will turn it off. If that fails, I'd suggest making a backup of your data, and doing a factory reset.

EDIT: It would actually be easier just asking Google Assistant to "Turn power saving mode off", and it should be deactivated. Whether you remembered doing it or not, you might as well do it anyway, before you go through all the steps I gave you. [emoji849] Doing what @ianorna said is the easiest method. It's the only way to remove it, and it might just save you from doing a factory reset.

THANKS A LOT.
It was that!
Even though the battery saver was already set on NEVER I tapped again on it and magically the damned orange disappeared!
Now the phone look much better!
Thanks again dude!

I may be late in replying the post but if youre still having the problem theres an easy fix.
the bars are orange because your battery saving mode is on, and no not the huawei battery saving mode, but the native android battery saver, its buried in the settings,
got to
settings>Battery>Battery Uasge graph>Tap to open detailed graph
tap on the three dots button on top right corner> tap battery save>disable!
That should fix this :good: :laugh: :silly:

Maybe you asked Bixby to do something but it accidentally changed RGB settings?

[Q] How to enable sRGB?

Tho there is a picture color mode in Settings>Developer Options that enables/disables sRGB every time I "enable" it and exit the settings app it doesn't actually enables the sRGB and nothing actually changes to be more accurate when I exit the app and reopen it the switch closes (turns from Green to Grey) and it automatically goes back to "off"
You can't activate it. They probably left that option by mistake there.

They didn't left it by mistake. Google placed this option in developers settings for models with AMOLED or OLED displays like Nexus 6P or Pixels. It has no function for Mi A1 or Nexus 5X with LCD screen which is or should have been native sRGB.
Just received the Oreo update on my Mi A1 and the option is altogether removed from developer options. It doesn't exist now.
