literally every functions.</p>
<p>The flow of events is something like this, At startup:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">We don't have information about actual brightness for few seconds</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">In this period, brightness slider have default value of 1</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">This triggers the function which sets batterymonitor.screenBrightness</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">onScreenBrightnessChanged gets called, which sets the actual</li>
</ul>
<p>brightness</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">onScreenBrightnessChanged have a guard for disableBrightnessUpdate but</li>
</ul>
<p>since we have it marked as false initially, we proceed to set actual<br />
brightness to 1</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">However before we set value of brightness to 1, we do get actual</li>
</ul>
<p>brightness back from dataengine, and our call overrides it to 1 later.</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">On desktop we do get 2nd dataChanged event from somewhere, so</li>
</ul>
<p>brightness is proper, but on mobile that is not case and results in<br />
brightness staying at 1.</p>
<p>To fix this bug, we set disableBrightnessUpdate true at startup, and<br />
when there is actual brightness change from powerdevil or<br />
powermanagement engine, Logic.js takes care of enabling and disabling<br />
brightness change.</p>
<p>(I quite like the boolean trap there in variable name :P .. will fix in<br />
another change in master)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>Tested on desktop and mobile, verified that</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Brightness keys work</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Brightness slider works</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Scroll to change brightness works</li>
