1 year ago For first. Write me, device name and type, PPP version.
Brightness: yes maybe in Android 13 for your device is brightness changed. Max. value, linear or exponential levels change. But is possible to fix it. Write me for collaboration with this.
Volumes: sorry, I don't understand, what is problem. In Android since version 1 are channels for volumes. Ringing, notifications, media, alarm (alarm clock), system (system tones), ... Which channel not working good?
Internet: again, I do not understand. Which internet? Over mobile data, Wi-Fi? Switch mobile data on/off requires root. Wi-Fi not.

To clarify about the volume problem (of course this may not even be a problem with PPP at all)- The issue is with the volume level for timers; that is, a function of the clock. All other volumes are fine. The timer volume is too low to hear which makes having a timer pretty useless! I am happy with the volume level for alarms (it gets progressively louder) but timers remain very quiet no matter which clock app I use. I noticed there was a function in PPP to separate timer volume from alarms but it does not seem to help. I may be using it incorrectly however. Does this clarify things?
You are right about the mobile internet; it was just my WiFi taking precedence. The slider turns off but the mobile internet is still turned on. It is only temporarily deactivated while WiFi is connected (not what I want, sadly).
Thank you again for your help.
Firstly, thank you for this app; it really is very useful for those of us still used to a function more common with older phones. My phone upgraded to Android 13 at the end of last year and immediately I noticed a change in behaviour with PPP. Some quirks did seem to iron themselves out over time but screen brightness is still a gripe for me. My Home settings have it set to 90 but it goes to 100 every time and likewise Night mode is set to 3 or something and it goes to far higher than that. I put it at 3 in an attempt to force it dimmer even. I also struggle with setting volume levels for timers (but that might be just be due to my lack of understanding of how this works as alarms are fine) and have noticed that PPP can turn my mobile Internet off even though my device is not rooted... even though the documentation says this is not possible! But I like this anomaly so I would rather this didn't change! But yes, the brightness problem is my main issue as this was not happening on Android 12. Again, thank you and I hope this is useful.
