    Screen dimming during games

    Hello, I am pointing out an issue with the screen dimming feature on Xbox One.

    When trying to play Fibbage, a game which doesn't require controller input as it uses a browser to answer questions, the screen keeps dimming unless you fondle the controller to keep the console happy it knows you are there.

    I believe there used to be an option to disable the dimming feature on Xbox 360, but of course there isn't one on the Xbox One.

    Xbox Dimming

    Try a hard reset, and disconnect the power brick from the power and disconnect the HDMI cable.

    I don't think this involves the HDMI cabling, but was told to switch mine out when I asked the same thing (noticed the same with mine).

    I however think it is a bug in the software where it times out (not seeing activity from the controller) instead of seeing activity through media players such as media player, video player, youtube or Netflix.

    This just started when the lastest update was downloaded.

    XBOX One Controller "Low Battery" Warning

    The Xbox button will dim when you have 5% battery life. It will be bright, then immediately dim.

    Xbox power light dimming?

    Seems to change based on the light in the room. Kinda like when your phone screen dims. Dark room = dim Xbox logos on the system, Kinect and controller, bright room = bright light.

    Xbox one dim when watching hulu

    Hi Ashley,

    Try this to see if it fixes your issue with dimming.

    You can change dimming option in Settings. Just head to Settings > Preferences > Idle Options.

    xbox one dim screen idle

    Here, you can change the amount of time before the Xbox One will dim the screen, with options of 2, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. You can also use the option on the left to disable the aforementioned idle notifications if you prefer a more private experience.

    It’s generally best to power off your devices when you know you won’t be using them soon, but this option to manually trigger the Xbox One’s idle screen dimming is handy for times when you need to quickly step away but don’t want to wait on a complete power
    cycle.

    My Opinions, Thoughts and Concerns.

    My Xbox One dimmed the screen last night, and then turned itself off after an hour of being dimmed. I had it sitting on the Ryse pause menu, and was out of the room. I don't think the screen dims while you're in sight of the Kinect, because I noticed if
    I left the room for 15-20 minutes and walked back in, the screen would brighten back up.
