If you are using the phone lib to set brightness, the OS should return to the brightness settings you had previous to loading your app. With the phone lib this brightness setting is just for your app.

brightness may work like that but this doesn't appear to:-

PhoneWakeStateLib.KeepAlive(True)

the phone stays on and doesn't timeout

In a few of my app I set the brightness. When I am ready to exit the app, like in my movie player, I use:

B4X:

vv.Stop
vv.RemoveView
awake.ReleaseKeepAlive
Activity.Finish

This code works fine. You can have the movie set very bright and when you exit, you can see the screen go back down in brightness to the setting before the app was started. Are you releasing the keepalive?
