Pigs Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I've noticed the DNA 60 screen in my delro is at what appears to be maximum brightness when firing. I'd prefer it dimmer to save battery life (2200mAh lipo) but don't like stealth mode. I've messed with the Brightness settings in Escribe and they upload and appear to operate as they should - except the Firing brightness. No matter where I set it (currently at 6%), it stays at maximum brightness while firing. Can anybody help? I've attached a screenshot of the Escribe Screen page.

dwcraig1 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I gave it a try on my College DNA60 and SXK BB, same results as you got. I even down graded the firmware with no results. I doubt if it will be of significate battery savings but find it interesting that it has the setting and doesn't do anything. You might try asking here: https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=3 Oh, and welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigs Posted June 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) That's interesting and makes me feel a bit better that my setup doesn't seem to be faulty. I'm sure you're right about the battery savings but with this little lipo I'm trying to squeeze out as much life as I can. I'll try that link. Thanks for the welcome .

retird Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Can you adjust it from the "Screen" tab in Escribe under brightness? I don't own a dna60... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retird Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 By not having a DNA60 I might suggest starting a Ticket with Evolv. Explain your situation to them as you did here. They are really good at replying back. Click on the link in my sig line below. The link to the right of the red wording. Fill out the form and send it.

Pigs Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks. I've already started a ticket - hopefully they'll get back to me soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi...sorry for bring up this few months old post...wanted to ask if you get any news from Evolv...regardless the max brightness while firing (DNA60)...? TIA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Wow! You're right. I just checked one of mine. The only setting that works (set to) is off while firing. Otherwise it is at max brightness. It must be a firmware bug. This one is running SP6.1 INT (Device Manager).

I'm also running SP6.1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just set it to off while firing. Best solution for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also running SP6.1 Recently bought SXK BB DNA60 and I'm noticing this behaviour too...was searching for the answer/solution and stumbled upon this thread...I'm on version 1.2 SP6.1 INT Sidenote: that's pretty bad news to know they ( Evolv) didn't get back to you after 2 months...🙄 still hoping they working on fixing this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayneo Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Pasted from the datasheet. 1st sentence after the 'After Power Down', Page 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 It doesn't make any sense to have a slider in EScribe when all you can have is full brightness or off. Why not replace the slider with a switch instead? And why not have it adjustable like expected? This way it has a cheap Chinese engineered feel to it. I also tried SP3 (an older firmware version) to see if that one does the same full brightness or off and it does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm119 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Agreed with Bill..the "options" was there but one only can choose full/off brightness and the slider to serve no purpose...no ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why I posted the image. I'm sure by now both you and @storm119 have already opened tickets at the Help Desk, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
