Started my Brax3 and iodé journey two days ago coming from a IPhone 8
Having the phone basic setup done and happy with it…
I started to dive into the settings, and made a extra “mode” to receive only messages and calls from my family and best friends. There was also a option for black and white and another setting to make it less bright. Just trying things out so activated this and the screen went all dark, a bit greyish not black. It does light up a little bit, so the phone is not stuck when opening the phone with the fingerprint but i can’t see anything on the screen.
Holding the on off button does restart the Phone with a bright white “brax” and bright “iode” but thats it…i can see the screen going from black to greyish but nothing is visible.. ahhhh
i can’t see anything on the screen so can’t change the settings
The sim is back in the Iphone
This morning the alarm clock on the Brax3 woke me up, so the phone does still work…
My settings for the alarm: The shake for snooze and turn around for the alarm to end also still work…
So what you mean is the custom mode that darkened and de-colorized the screen is always active so you can’t see it well? If you go in a dark room is it light enough to see? Maybe you can swipe down (2 x) to see the display brightness slider and increase that, then go into “modes” and turn off that custom mode, or instead in System Settings go direct to “Display” and adjust the values there.
I can’t sort out how you got here, I hope it isn’t a hardware issue, but as the brax and iodé splash screens appear I don’t think it is that?
Sorry, but I don’t have a better suggestion than applying a factory reset (but you will need to re-do apps etc):
Hold the Volume UP arrow while booting (so will need to force off first with long press (many seconds) of power button.
You will then see a tiny menu. Press Volume UP to toggle the menu, using Volume DOWN when on Recovery.
Inside recovery, choose Factory reset
If you are glutton for punishment and want to really sort out how you got to where you are, try and re-create the issue, maybe we will learn something (but I don’t know if you will want to suffer through the testing of this again )
FWIW the brightness slider is about 1" / 25-30mm from the top of the screen - you could just try swiping right from the very left most edge (about 5mm in) to see if it triggers.
You need to swipe down twice from the top as @rik mentioned (about half the length or the screen) band then even if you can’t ‘see’ it, it should be there in the darkness…
