2626 screen way too dark

I am working in China and recently bought a Nokia 2626 here. The problem I have with it is that the screen is a dark brown color, and when then sun is quite bright here, then I cannot see what is on the screen at all, when the sun is out. :-(
Is it possible to remove the screen and replace it with a plastic I can see trough also during sunshine??
Thanks
Calle

Ok more info, as i forgot a little of it. The problem has existed for 9 days now, after taking battery out and restarting etc. I also deleted all extra apps I had added since I got the phone.  The light/white screen does go away..but its random but is normally white/light screen 95% of the time over the last 9 days. The phone has not been dropped or any water damage...no kind of damage what so ever. I think thats about it!

  • Canon 6D images way too dark in TV mode

    When taking lacrosse and football photos, I prefer to set Canon 6D to TV mode using 1/500 or 1/640 with appropriate ISO for time of day or night. In the Spring in late afternoon / early evening games.  After having no problems for say first 100 photos, the camera in TV mode starts setting aperture too high (say 9, when just before was 4.5 in identical light), thereby creating photos that are way too dark. I shoot with sun behind me, so the natural light is pretty consistent, while the aperture selected automatically in TV mode jumps around wildly.
    To avoid missing too many shots when this occurs, I move to Manual mode, keep speed at 1/500 or 1/640, and set aperture to correct number. I'd prefer camera do the work while I zoom in and out. and as the sun begins to set. 
    I never had this problem with other Canon DSLR's. Also, the camera behaves once it's totally dark and I'm depending on stadium lights.
    Am using Canon 6D with Canon 70-200 mm EF IS II USM.
    Suggestions?

    My guess if you've dialed down exposure compensation as well... and it's easy to do accidentally.
    In Tv mode, the front dial (by the shutter button) controls your shutter speed, but the rear dial controls "exposure compensation".   The rear dial will only be active to do this when the camera meters the exposure... e.g. half-press the shutter button and then turn the rear dial to adjust exposure compensation.   The rear dial also controls exposure compensation in P and Av modes as well.
    You can see if you've done this by looking at the meter either on the top LCD or through the viewfinder.  In Tv or Av mode, the arrow normally points to the center mark if exposure compensation has not been adjusted.  (this is the scale that shows -3..2..1..|..1..2..+3 )
    You can also adjust exposure compensation via the rear LCD by pressing the [Q] button and navigating to the -3..2..1..0..1..2..+3 scale and then pressing the 'Set' button and it'll let you change the compensation.  
    The center position on the scale means you want to use the exposure recommended by the meter.  But you would want to use exposure compensation in situations where you realize the meter is unlikely to be accurate.  Camera's use a light meter that measures reflected light coming off the subject.  A hand-held (aka "incident" light meter) measures light falling on the subject (you actually walk up to the subject, hold the meter in front of them/it and take the reading while standing in the subject light).  An incident meter is extremely accurate becuase it's measuring the light itself... not a reflecttion of the light.  A reflected meter is subject to the fact that some subjects will reflect more light back to the camera than others.  E.g. a "white" subject reflects significantly more light than a "black" subject.)  Hence cameras tend to attempt to overexpose when shooting scenes dominated by dark or black objects and they tend to underexpose when shooting scenes dominated by mostly white or light objects.  The compensation control allows you to tell the computer that want it to shoot for an exposure darker or brighter than what the meter believes is needed.

  • My movies which were bought from iTunes play way too dark in iTunes.

    My movies play way too dark in iTunes.  This is only the case when I connect my Mac Mini to my TV through HDMI.  What's strange is that when the subtitles in the movies come up the picture goes to the correct brightness.  Normally, however it is different to see most of the scene when it is a night shot or a dark scene.  The brightness on the TV does not seem to affect it, I believe this is a software issue.  Are there any controls for picture quality that I am missing? 

    You device has limited capacity.
    If you have toooooooo many movies, that occupy toooooo much space, you will not be able to add any movies oor music without deleting something else.

  • Fusion HDR Pro  32bit way too dark

    Hi,
    I often use Fusion HDR Pro in 32bit mode with final ajustements in ACR to control high contrast situations.
    I now have un issue in PS CC 2014 with a fusion image (in ACR) which is way too dark and contrasty.
    The same treatment in PS CC (not 2014) with the same images works fine.
    Any idea what could be the problem?
    Thanks,
    Jo

    After some researches, I deleted the Photoshop folder with all the presets an restarted PS, Fusion HDR works fine again.

  • Safari 4 UI is way too dark, can't read bookmarks bar :(

    Hi guys,
    I have an issue with Safari UI. It's just way, way too dark for me. Bookmarks bar is especially hard for me to read. Why is Apple using a dark gray background and black text? It's incredibly hard to read. I don't have vision issues (I have 20/20 vision) and yet I find it straining to even look at the bar for long periods of time. And why don't they allow "favicons" to show up on the bookmarks bar? I think allowing favicons to show would improve usability too.
    What can I do?

    Unfortunately, you'll just have to live with it; Apple has made their design decisions for the UI so they are consistent across all (or most) of their applications. If you have a PowerPC Mac, you may want to try Unify to lighten the UI of Safari and other applications. It may not work with Safari 4, and whatever you do, make a complete bootable backup of your hard drive before you install it, and Repair Disk Permissions after that, then restart Safari to see if it works.
    Favicons are not cached due to the fact that they occupy a lot of space, and that will slow down Safari, so there is no provision for allowing that at the present time.

  • The Godfather DVD is way too dark

    I've tried changing monitor and calibrations settings but nothing helps much. It's just way too dark, I can barely make out faces and objects, especially during night scenes.
    Any suggestions?
    I have the 2001 DVD Collection.

    Have you also adjusted the settings in DVD Player? Go to Window/Video Color for the Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint controls.
    If your normal desktop looks fine, you should not have to change any monitor settings.

  • The screen saver too dark

    ok i had my e65 a fews days now and i have
    nearly figured out everything as in all
    the functions with the exception of these,
    which i need help with.
    1, when the sreensaver comes on i notice
    that its too dark and i mean, if i wanted
    to quickly look at the time and/or date
    i have to focus properly to see it, i cant
    quickly glance on it as other phones
    is there some sort of control to adjust the
    clock on the screensaver to turn the brightness
    or contrast up a bit that i may have
    overlooked ?
    2, whats the real purpose of this light sensor
    on the top right hand corner ?
    i have covered it a few times in day light and
    low to no light at all but nothing happens.
    thanks in advance

    KD44
    "Did you work out how to do it, I've still not sorted it either?"
    nope i have not figured them out yet... the screen saver is too dark and that light sensor must be some sort of joke.
    MINI RANT MODE ON
    the light sensor really annoys me to look at knowing it serves no purpose at all and after using a few other screen savers its too bloodly dark. it would of been better if nokia had put nothing there at all at least this way i could understand that there is nothing to look at.
    as for the slow capture actions of the camera..... well i will leave that for another time
    MINI RANT MODE OFF
    apart from that though the nokia e65 is the best ever phone i have used to date. connecting via VPN or SSH to my home server is a breeze, using SIP with www.sipgate.co.uk is like talking on a house phone (very clear) the internet is fast even with the stock browser.
    too many good points to mention
    sorry KD44 i think i slightly diverted from the main question
    if you figure them out then please let me know.. its obvious that one other nokia knows the answer.
    Thanks
    Nokeya

  • Photos suddenly way too dark?

    Okay, here's the info:
    -Just updated to Mavericks (works fine)
    -Updated iPhoto
    -When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook, all my photos look fine
    -When I connect my external monitor, the photos look too dark.
    -I've confirmed that the Color Profile for the monitor is properly calibrated--it's JUST iPhoto
    -When I scroll between photos, they momentarily look exactly like they ought to look; but once they've fully loaded, they suddenly become extremely dark again
    Any ideas?

    No--you evidently didn't understand what I said. As I indicated, EVERYTHING ELSE looks fine on the external monitor. On websites, in other photo apps, in Preview--everything looks exactly the same whether on my internal or external monitor.
    It's ONLY in iPhoto that things look messed up. The photos, as they're loading, look correct; as soon as they've fully loaded up, they suddenly become so dark as to be difficult to see--everything else on the screen remains looking exactly the same. And if I drag the window from my external monitor to my internal monitor, the pictures suddenly look okay again.
    But, if I view a photo in Preview, it looks the same on both monitors, even as I drag it between the two. So, again, it's ONLY iPhoto.
    Incidentally, this is a new problem--as far as I can tell, it only started after installing Mavericks.

  • My iphones screen is too dark

    Hi ! My iphone´s screen is really dark I can barely see it.

    Settings > Brightness.
    If it is turned up but you cannot see, try resetting:

  • Photobook: Way too dark sRGB/Adobe RGB

    I've just received my third photobook. We make one each year and the previous ones have been great. I already found out that it's advised to use only sRGB images. Since there are no warnings when importing with another profile or any profile-conversions, my 100+ euro book has some very dark pictures.
    I'm not satisfied by the result. I'm no noob to colour (as a graphic designer) but is it so hard to check for a profile and convert it? It looks good on screen but the print looks bad.
    Anyone had this issue before?

    Contact Apple - http://www.apple.com/benl/support/photoservices/returns/
    As to has anyone else seen this issue - yes - pretty much anyone who uses Adobe RGB has the issue of dark prints - if you want to avoid that then you have to avoid using Adobe RGB - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdobeRGB_colorspace - It is different than the sRGB color space - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGBcolorspace - and is not compatible with the Apple printing service
    The sRGB color space is well specified and is designed to match typical home and office viewing conditions, rather than the darker environment typically used for commercial color matching.
    Ergo - use the Adobe RGB that is designed for commercial color matching and things will be darker
    expect it - it is what it is - and don't use it if that is not what you want. It is not an error or wrong - but it is different and if you choose to use it then you will get the predictable results.

  • Control Panel LCD Screen is too dark.

    Is there a way to brighten the LCD screen on the control panel? Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi @LeftyMike ,
    I see that you would like to be able to lighten the LCD screen on the printer. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
    I have checked through the menu structure and wasn't able to find anything for the brightness for the display.
    Try tilting the control panel up for viewing, to see if the light shows up.
    Touch a button on the display, just to make sure the printer isn't gone into sleep mode.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    If the issue persists, then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP Worldwide.

  • Prints way too dark

    OS windows 7 64 bit    PS CS6      Printer Canon Pro 100     Eizo monitor  all profiled
    When printing A5 & A4 sizes resulting print is perfect
    When moving to A3 or A3+ there is a slight colour shift and prints are unacceptably dark
    I'm setting PS to manage colours with the appropriate profiles and printer managing colour box is set to none
    Contacted Canon who asked me to try printing with Image Garden( a generic program pumped out with all Canon printers)
    Whilst slightly light colours were OK but you can only print to paper stock sizes With this result Canon say its an Adobe problem
    If anyone has some ideas I would very much appreciate.

    Doesn't sound quite as severe as your issue, but I once had an issue with dark prints/lost detail coming back from a professional lab.
    My system is profiled and well set up.....however, for some reason, my ambient light monitor controller monitor had switched off and my monitor got/crept brighter than it should.....that was the reason, and might be a contributory factor in your case.
    All best

  • Movie playback is way too dark

    hey guys i have had this problem for a while but am only getting into it now i am lookin to try and figure out whats wrong. well as the title states whenever i play a movie through my I tunes for some reason it always plays back super dark and i don't have any idea how to fix it does anyone know what might be wrong

    Can you be more specific about what App you are using? An example of a video?
    How fast is your ISP Internet connection?
    What make/model router are you using?
    From what you describe it appears that there is a bottleneck in getting video data to your iPad. Diagnosing this can be tough because the problem could lie at the server, on the Internet path to the server, on your local network router or in your iPad itself.
    Note that videos do not have to completely load before playing. Usually they will start when a sufficient buffeting amount of the video has loaded. The important thing is that the rate of loading exceeds the rate of play.
