If your Tecno Pova Slim 5G screen keeps dimming on its own, it can get annoying fast. You might think your phone is malfunctioning, but most of the time the issue is caused by features that automatically adjust brightness or power settings.
Why Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G Might Have Random Screen Dimming
- Adaptive brightness is adjusting the screen automatically based on lighting.
- Eye comfort shield or blue light filter is active.
- Power saving mode is lowering brightness to extend battery life.
- Screen timeout or accidental touch protection is interfering.
- A temporary software glitch is causing brightness controls to misbehave.
Turn Off Adaptive Brightness.
Adaptive brightness uses sensors to change screen brightness based on your surroundings. Sometimes it overcompensates, leading to dimming even when you don’t want it.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display & Brightness.
- Tap Adaptive brightness, and then toggle the switch off.
Check Eye Comfort Shield.
The Eye comfort shield reduces blue light and can make your display look dimmer, especially in the evening.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display & Brightness.
- Tap Eye Comfort Shield, and then toggle it off to see if brightness stabilizes.
Disable Power Saving Mode.
When enabled, power saving mode lowers performance and brightness to conserve battery. This can cause the screen to dim suddenly.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving mode, and then toggle the switch off if it is enabled.
Adjust Screen Timeout.
If your phone dims too quickly, it might just be the screen timeout setting. Extending it prevents the display from dimming while you are still using the device.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display & Brightness.
- Tap Screen timeout, and then choose a longer duration like 2 or 5 minutes.
Restart or Update the Device.
Random dimming can also happen because of minor software issues. Restarting or updating your phone often clears these glitches.
- Hold down the Power key, and then tap Restart.
- Open Settings, and then tap System Update to check for available updates.
Random dimming on the Tecno Pova Slim 5G is usually linked to adaptive features or power-saving options. Once you disable or adjust them, the screen should stay bright and consistent.
