Anyone noticed their 24" screen brightness lowered recently?!

I used to have my brightness (on my 24") set down a few bars because it was so bright on full...
Since the apparent release of a new graphics driver, I have had to set my brightness to full.
Surely Apple could have made the maximum higher and the lowest lower and then split the divisions so that it goes from one gradient to the other to give the users a choice?!

It was an Apple update - 1.1 - that was installed automatically.

  • Google search page on the iPad, issues when you try to open a new tab. Anyone noticed this? It is a recent development. Does not happen on any other website.

    Till recently there was no issue opening a new tab after doing a search on google for an issue. For the last ten days or so I am having this experience of inconsistency. Has anyone noticed it. On the other hand if I visit any other web pages it works smooth to open a new tab.

    May be it is working fine for you. But then i am experiencing the issue again and again. someone else was also facing the same issue on another forum.

  • Anyone notice the playback screen freezing?

    I have the latest version of mainstage and noticed today that if a set is playing a backing track and you hit the next set button and then hit play for that sets backing track the display build in to the concert screen (not the playback plug in screen) does not scroll
    can anyone replicate this??? am getting slightly nervous now as I have a gig tomorrow!

    Well, in my opinion the battery life with iOS 6 on iPhone 4S is now much better!
    1 % left and I have 8 hrs and 17 minutes usage and 1 day 7 hrs standby time. (I browsed the web, sent some E-Mails with pictures & received some text E-Mails, made some calls, used iMessage, Siri, Facebook, iCal, Contacts and other apps like Dropbox. Also I have 2 E-Mail accounts on "Push" and iCloud activated with all its features, except iCloud Mail and iTunes Match!)
    With iOS 5.1.1 I hardly reached 6 hrs usage time.

  • Has anyone noticed their iPad is slower and freezes with the new IOS 7 upgrade

    Is anyone having problems with your iPad freezing with the new operating system

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Anyone noticing their Enter key less sensitive to presses?

    Just got my Macbook about a week ago, absolutely fantastic machine. I've noticed though that sometimes when I press the enter key, the Macbook doesn't always recognize it. I've found I sometimes have to concentrate on pressing the Enter key a bit firmer than I have to on the other keys. It isn't something terribly significant, I don't need to pound or crush it but those random moments that the enter key doesn't respond can be a bit annoying at times.
    I'm not entirely certain, but it seems that maybe it is more responsive towards the right of the key than the left? I assume the actual button itself under the key is more in that direction so perhaps that would be why.

    I hate to be the barer of bad news but this a defect. I've already dealt with this issue in the past with the plastic MB's. I just brought it into the Apple Store and got the whole keyboard replaced, no problem. My issue was with the i key and as you can see I've used it at least a dozen times now so you can imagine my frustration.

  • Anyone notice their MBP really hot when taking it out of a bag?

    Hey everyone,
    I have had my Macbook Pro for about 8 months now and just today I took it out of my laptop bag and found it to be very HOT. It's like it came out of it's own sleep and ran inside my bag. Since there was no airflow it got very hot. How do I know if this caused damage to my laptop? I am very concerned about it. Any information would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    -David

    Hi David,
    Waking from sleep unintentionally is something that can happen, but shouldn't happen. Often, Bluetooth settings can be set (possibly as default) to allow the machine to be woken from sleep by a Bluetooth device. If you go to your System Preferences, and click the Keyboard and Mouse pane, and then click "Bluetooth" then you can uncheck the box that says "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer". This should stop this from occurring in the future.
    If you do use Bluetooth devices, then you will have to either wake the computer manually (by opening it) or be more careful with the computer when it is sleeping in a case. Even passing Bluetooth devices in other people's bags can possibly wake up the computer when that checkbox is checked.
    I wouldn't worry about the heat that the computer was exposed to this one time. The machine itself is designed to shut itself off at temperatures that are dangerous to it. Therefore, you should never have any heat-related damage.
    In terms of sleeping the machine when carrying it in a bag: Continue doing it, but with this checkbox unselected. There is nothing wrong with carrying the machine while it is asleep! I do it all the time and have never had any problems!

  • Yoga screen brightness/flickering

    Loving my Yoga 13 so far have had it since Oct 26th when it was released. Like everyone else I had some issues with partitioning yadda yadda yadda, got that taken care of, but lately I've noticed that my screen brightness seems to flicker, ALL the time, when switching from program to program if the color changes on the screen I notice that the brightness changes as well in noticeable increments. I have the automatic brightness setting set to OFF, so I can't imagine that's the reason.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I turned the 'adjust screen brightness automatically' off in the tablet manual under pc settings->general, done

  • Anyone notice a factory protective overlay on their 3G screen

    Hi
    I was using my iPhone 3G today and noticed something I have not noticed before.
    Has anyone noticed that there seems to be some short of protective shield on the touch screen? I noticed this because when i looked at the speaker area and the home button area I can clearly see that some sort of film is stuck on top of the glass.
    Has anyone else noticed this? What is this film for? Can I remove it?
    Thanks

    As I stated, there's not one pre-installed on new iPhones. If you purchased your phone used, one may be on there. Also, if you received a refurb phone in exchange for a defective one, there may be a protector on there (they are supposed to replace the case, not sure if they replace the glass; I know that I have returned iPhones with the protective film I installed left in place).
    If there is one on there, it's safe to remove it if you want. You can remove the films by applying a piece of transparent tape (e.g. Scotch® tape) and lifting from the corner.

  • Anyone notice a difference with "Auto Brightness" function?

    Ive had this phone for about a month now...got it since the 19th...i was one of the first ones to get it.  I must say it works great.  I ran into a few problems here and there but nothing major.  You know how technology is...good when it wants to, bad when it gets a chance.  My phone stopped ringing, as some of the folks, im hoping that once froyo is released it will take care of it...otherwise, reseting the phone (**bleep** Smart Profile)...but my question for you folks is:  does any one really notice a difference in screen brightness?  I mean, i understood it as a way to automatically reduce eye strain when u look at your phone in darkness...you know: you get a text at night, and you've been sleeping or had your eyes closed, and u look at the phone it can feel like the light is stabbing at your retina...it happens to me...ANYWAYS, i just dont see the difference from the brightness at my office, and the brightness in my bedroom when its dark (they appear to be at the same brightness level).  I've looked at the manual and there is really no mention of a 'light sensor" on the phone....just wondering if im missing something here....anyone?

    II do indeed definitely see a difference. However, I presume that the main benefit is to your battery life, not your eyes. For eyes, in most conditions the brighter the screen the better (everything looks better, is easier to read, colors are better, etc.) However, for your battery, sending the power that lights up the screen is one of if not the biggest drains on the battery. So the smart setting does indeed seem to work as a nice middle ground between a performance setting (high brightness) and battery saving setting (low brightness). If I read your post wrong, please let me know. On a related matter, in the settings you can set how long it takes for your screen to shut off when the phone is in active (such as 1, 2, 10, 15, or 30 minutes, or something like that). The  lower the number here, the longer the battery charge will last, I think it seems clear.
    Happy Droid Xing!

  • Does anyone like their new iMac screen?????

    I am going to be recommending a new imac for some friends and wanted to know if there is anyone that likes the new screens on their iMac?
    I know only people with problems post on here, but just wanted to see if there are any happy iMac users.
    thanks in advance

    For the past 4 years, I've been using the Powerbook G4 laptop and I prefer the matte screen display. When I saw the new iMacs, the only thing I didn't like was the glossy screen, but everything else was awesome about the iMac. In the end, I decided that the glossy screen wasn't SO bad. The only time it's really irritating is during daytime when the light reflects off the screen. Since my iMac is in my bedroom, I can just pull down the blinds and it'll shield the sunlight from 'attacking' my iMac glossy screen. Or, you can increase the screen brightness, and it helps take away the reflections.. not 100%, but most of it.
    I've gotten used to the glossy screen now, and yes, it does make my Powerbook G4 screen look quite dull. Haha. I still use my G4 for school purposes, so it's not going into the can just yet...
    Yeah, that's my take on the screen. So, yes, I do like the new iMac screen.

  • Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display?

    Has anyone noticed that their iPhone 5 has a yellow tinged display and the colours look too intense? Just does not look right.

    Correction - I HAVE reported the fault to Apple and to my network provider who have informed me that they have received numerous complaints from their customers and are sending out replacements to them and to me. As I hadn't stated what steps I had taken in my original post you shouldn't be so fast to assume what I have or have not done.
    Thank you and goodbye.

  • [FIXED] after upgrade ACPI can no longer change my screen brightness

    EDIT: never mind, it seems to of gone away now...i have no idea what happened, it stopped working randomly then started working just as randomly.....whatever...
    Just yesterday i was using my laptop with arch linux with the brightness turned all the way down, as of course it saves battery
    but now i turn it on today and the screen is at maximum brightness, and every time i try to change it it just says (in kernel.log) :
    Sep  8 10:28:46 Polygon kernel: ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness
    Sep  8 10:28:46 Polygon kernel: ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness
    so...what got upgraded that broke this? does anyone else have this problem?
    here is the past few days of my pacman.log: (it has some entries for kernel-my, a custom compiled kernel, but i get no screen brightness control on my custom compiled kernel, or the default arch one)

    Do you happen to know what package broke this? I had this issue a couple weeks ago, and just recently it reappeared.

  • Flashcards for screen brightness no longer work after BIOS upgrade

    I have a Toshiba Satellite T135D/1320S laptop, and last night I upgraded the BIOS to v1.90 under the recently released recall notice.  AFter installing the BIOS, however, the Flashcard brightness controls no longer work. Whenever I press FN-6 or FN-7, the screen brightness Flashcard pops up and the toggle on the slider bar moves back and forth, but the brightness of the screen does not change.
    I have disabled and re-enabled the Flashcards as suggested in a separate forum, and I've also downloaded the most recent display driver (AMD display driver v8.615).  Neither effort corrected the problem.
    Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Sometimes it helps to reset the machine. With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for half-a-minute. Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.
    Another things to try is reinstalling the TVAP.

  • ThinkVantage Power Manager - idle time for screen brightness fixed at 1minute (very anoying)

    Dear all,
    Please consider this problem:
    I have just recieved my new X301 which I am very pleased with. However the ThinkVantage Power Manager has a very annoying bug. When creating a custom power scheme everything works as it should (as far as I can tell) except for one thing. Whilst in the "Idle timers" section the first drop down box which allows you to select the "lower display brightness" time in the "battery settings" column I find that I can select any of the options provided, i.e. "After 1 minute", "After 2 minutes", ...etc "After 45 minutes" or "Never". HOWEVER, regardless of what option I select the power manager instantly reverts back to "After 1 minute" as soon as I exit (selecting the "apply" button or the "okay" button does not help). This is incredibly anoying as it means I'm constantly harrased by the sreen changing brighness when I don't want it to OR having to set the "Lower to" setting to the same as the active screen brightness which means there are no power saving advantages at all and I get the anoying flash of the brightness bars on the screen every 60 seconds (that's 60 times in a working hour!)
    I have done the following to try to resolve the problem:
    1) updated the power manager to the latest verion: 1.54
    2) uninstalled the power manager comletely and then reinstalled it, then applied the updates bit by bit and checking the problem at each stage
    3) completely restored the entire system to factory setup (formatting the SSD and losing all data and settings...)
    NONE of these options have worked. Please note that this is a brand new system out of the box... (cost 2800USD...)
    Can anyone please confirm whether or not this happens on their system as well? Is it just me or is this a global problem? I've called the Lenovo ThinkVantage call centre in the US but they couldn't help.
    Thanks for your help,
    AMS. 

    This is clearly a bug in PM 1.54. I get the same thing with my old X40, Win XP, SP3. I've recently installed PM 1.54, and have the same problem. It has nothing to do with scheduled tasks, as (a) I don't have any (and don't run the Task Scheduler service on my machine), and (b) it happens immediately (ie. edits are lost as soon as I try to apply them).
    Does anyone know if there is an official place to log bugs for TP software?
    [editM also kicks in with the 'idle' timer while I'm working.I like its functions, but PM does seem buggy]
