Reduce blur affect stuck on

nandohyphen1

I didn't even turn it on. But now instead of the blur effects in the notification drawer, app drawer, and on the lockscreen when entering PIN, it is just the solid black colour. I double checked in Settings that Reduce Blur Effects is off. I rebooted the phone also. But it is stuck on non blur. I didn't do anything prior, so I have no idea what's causing it. Secondary user profiles are also like this

nandohyphen1 Do you have battery saver enabled?

nandohyphen1

jarell no. Forgot to mention that in my original post. Battery saver is off

Its switched back to normal now - blurred. But its acting strange. It keeps jumping between blurred and black. Going to turn off my phone for the night soon anyway. Will (post an) update in the morning. Maybe being off all night will fix it (hopefully!)

OK, so for most of the morning its been working fine now. Don't know what could have caused it.

nandohyphen1 could it be phantom effects from the experimentations in the parallel Private Space settings?

nandohyphen1

Novalissoide no, I don't think so because I have expanded dark theme off and its also off in the private space (just because I didn't want to change my wallpaper and the dark status icons were really annoying). Maybe it was just a one off thing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I may have figured this out (somewhat). So it occasionally returns, but I've noticed that it only happens when I'm using wired headphones with the USB dongle thing. After unplugging them, the blur effects get turned off, or reduced. They reappear after rebooting the phone, or a short while later. This is very strange but at least I know what is causing it

nandohyphen1 USB dongle thing

Is this a 3.5 hub or BT, or just Usb-C wired headphones?

nandohyphen1

Novalissoide USB C wired headphone. The dongle thing is the one that adapts a round headphone jack to USB C

nandohyphen1 got it.
Btw I noted that the two mentioned settings in
Private space vs Owner
'Reduce Blur', as well as 'Remove Animations', are settings that determine both 'realms';

Toggle ON in Owner, you'll find them ON in PS
Toggle OFF in PS, they'll be OFF in Owner

This is distinct from the workings of e.g. Dark modes, and most Permissions, which seems more independent. 🕵🏾‍♂️
