  • Auto-Brightness Toggle disappeared?

    So I have been having the issue some are experiencing with the brightness of the screen not working the same as within iOS 5.  I have the problem where it seems to be working on the reverse process.  When it is bright out, the screen goes darker, and when I'm in a dark room, the screen goes almost to full brightness.
    When I went into settings to turn auto-brightness off, the toggle is not there any longer.  ????  Completely confused.  I am also having the issue with the phone crashing and displaying the fuzzy/pixelated vertical lines and then the screen slow fades to black and then reboots itself.  I took it into the Apple Store on Saturday to discuss some other issues that I had and they completely restored my phone, and told me not to use any of my restore files in case of corruption.  So here I am, confused, lol.  Anyone having similar issues?

    I got the same problem! The auto brightness toggle is not there any more. A full restore did not help! Tried everything! How is this even possible? Software glich or harware? The proximity sensor also does not work! Anyone?

  • My iPhone 4S keeps changing/ resetting the brightness to a very low level and I have turned off the Auto brightness button and restarted for weeks.

    My iPhone 4S keeping changing the brightness on its own and I have already turned off the auto brightness etc and restarted multiple times for several weeks.  I can't see the screen to answer calls etc . Really annoying

    Is the battery drained after it shuts itself off?
    Did you already try to set it up as new device?

  • I accidetally hit the brightness button -Question about Auto brightness....

    I leave my display settings on "Automatically adjust screen as ambient light changes" which works in conjunction with the keyboard illumination.
    My question is, I accidentally hit the "Brightness Decrease" button often, the button directly above the ONE key. I was wondering,... How does that affect the automatic features?
    I noticed that the brightness never seems to go above about half way on the meter in the displays control panel, Do I have to adjust the brightness to full intensity to give the display more "Automatic" Range?
    It seems as if since I hit the decrease button, no matter how bright or dim a room is, the display never goes about the half-way mark.
    I know this is a weird question, but I really apprciate your opionon / information relating to this,
    -Rob

    (I do not know all that much on this topic, but) I believe that when you hit the brightness button, the automatic adjustment turns off. To reactivate it, you can restart your computer (obviously), or, I noticed that the automatic kicks back in when you unplug/plugin your computer.
    That's about all I know.
    I can experiment with more things if you want, just let me know. And I was curious, how do you keep accidentily hitting the brightness button?
    Peace

  • Auto-brightness switch has disappeared?

    So...this is kind of weird. I went into the Wallpapers & Brightness settings to adjust the brightness of my screen and there's no auto-brightness switch. I actually really like the auto-brightness. Constantly adjusting it manually is kind of a pain -- especially if I'm running and my phone is in my armband.
    I tried resetting the settings and I just restored my phone. The switch is still gone.
    Has anyone else enountered this? Is there something obvious I'm missing? That switch should be there, right?
    I have an iPhone 5.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello Geoffery Stone,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I want to recommend backing up your phone to iTunes and restore the device, but this time, rather than restoring from a backup, setup the phone as new and see if the switch is there.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If it is, then restore from your backup. If the switch goes away, then either an app, or a setting is removing it.
    If it is a setting, then resetting all your settins should fix it:
    Reset iPhone settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
    Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.

  • Elitepad 900 windows 8.1 auto-rotate screen disappear

    after installing all drivers from "downloads" page of your support aouto-rotate is disappear. 
    screen do not rotate while iam physically rotate device, also "lock auto-rotate" button do nothing and button of locking rotate missing in brightness in right settings panel.
    full reset doesnt help, how turn auto rotate  on?

    Hello romka18.
    I am sorry you are having trouble with the auto-rotate.
    To turn on auto-rotate, bring up the charms by swiping from the right hand side and search on "resolution". You may need to select that you are searching within "Settings" and not "Apps".  One of the settings for resolution is "Adjust Screen resolution", please select that and it will take you to a screen that has a checkbox that lets you enable "Allow the screen to auto-rotate".
    There is a good 2 minute video of this on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtiuFLyoGoA uploaded there by Jeffrey Lush.
    I hope that helps!

  • Auto Brightness & battery life iPad 2

    Hi
    I got my iPad 2 about a month ago and ive noticed that the battery life varies quite a lot, and seen many people complain on forums that its poor/worse than ipad 1 etc.
    I suspected that the auto-brightness feature was the culprit so i did some tests, watching video:
    Auto OFF, Bright room, 50% on slider     10% = 66 minutes
    Auto ON, bright room, 50% on slider         10% = 51 minutes
    Auto ON, dark room, 50% on slider          10% = 71 minutes
    Obviously whats going on here is that the auto brightness (AB) is brightening up the screen in a bright room, and dimming in darker environments. But i didnt expect such a difference in battery life!!
    I also ran the test just idling at home screen:
    Auto ON, Very bright room, 50% slider     10% = 39 minutes
    Auto OFF, Very bright room, 30% slider    10% = 82 minutes
    So basically, I feel people who are experiencing dissapointing battery life are perhaps using the ipad 2 in brighter conditions more, because these tests show it can be literally half the battery life in a very bright room near a window etc
    They also show that at a certain brightness the life is very good, even up to 13hrs or more! Good to know if you need a lot of life you can just turn AB off and lower brightness and get 14 hours LOL
    Any thoughts?

    It really depends on what you are doing. If you are playing graphics intensive games for several hours, you may find that battery life is a bit shorter than if you are surfing or playing movies.
    What are you doing generally and how long is you battery lasting? There is a small chance that your battery is defective but without more information it is tough to tell.
    There are also occasional bugs in the iPad OS that will drain the battery faster than normal. I've found that when it seems the battery is draining too quickly that restarting the iPad helps. Hold down the power button on the top edge of the iPad for several seconds until you get the slider, slide it off. When the iPad is off (the spinner disappears) you can turn it back on by holding down the same button for a second or two.

  • Why does Auto Tone button in Quick Develop panel fail with Win 7 platform?

    I have been a user of Photoshop since the inception of Photoshop CS.  I recently purchased a subscription to Photoshop CC, which comes with Photoshop Lightroom 5.
    I have never used Lightroom, so I purchased the Kindle version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, CLASSROOM IN A BOOK.  I have this eBook installed on the same Windows 7 PC that I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 installed on.
    I ran into a problem in a section of the first chapter titled “Using Quick Develop in the Library module.”  This section, in part, instructs how to quickly improve the color tonal balance of an image.
    After selecting the required image from the sample images for this lesson, I found the histogram in my Lightroom 5 Loupe view to be the same as the lesson’s photo illustration for this original image.  As described in the lesson, the photo did not have a balanced tonal distribution.
    I followed the lesson’s instruction:  “4. In the Quick Develop panel, watch the tone distribution curve shift in the Histogram panel as you click the Auto Tone button.  Although the automatic adjustment hasn’t done a perfect job with this particular photo, there is substantial improvement; a lot of image detail has been recovered from the overexposed hair and face and there is more depth in the mid-tones. The contrast, however, remains unimpressive, and the darker areas still look flat.”  (See Adobe Creative Team [2013-08-06]. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5: Classroom in a Book [Kindle Locations 1024-1026]. Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.)
    This is where I ran into a problem.  After clicking on the Auto Tone Button in the Quick Develop panel, my results were completely different than what was described and shown in the Histogram displayed in the lesson.  Instead, in my Lightroom 5, clicking the Lightroom Auto Tone button has increased the exposure, making it even more over exposed than the original image!  Therefore continuing to follow the instructions in the lesson was a waste of time, since my Auto Tone results were so totally out of sync from that of the lesson.
    This disturbed me, so I decided to open the same sample image in Photoshop CC, Camera RAW 8.2.  Camera RAW provides an Auto Button which improves exposure and color tonal balance to an image.  The results were exactly the same as the Auto Tone functionality in the Quick Develop panel in Lightroom 5.  I couldn't understand why the lesson instructor's results were so positive and mine were so disastrous.  Then it hit me!  I discovered that the lesson writer of this Adobe Classroom in a Book was using Lightroom 5 on a MAC computer.  I could tell by looking at his lesson images.  Just to be sure, I tried this lesson scenario on a different PC with Win 7, Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5.  I got the same failed results.
    I’ve heard from other professionals that Photoshop and Lightroom software only work properly on Apple computers.  I’ve always thought that this was a myth, but have infrequently experienced a good result using the Auto button feature in Photoshop Camera Raw on a Windows PC platform, so I don’t use it often.
    What really has me frustrated is the fact that Adobe no longer has a direct way to report software defects to their tech support or process improvement  teams.  Their online bug reporting process is woefully inadequate.  I've tried twice to create a support ticket on the Adobe site, only to have my case withdrawn mysteriously.  I've tried their online chat, telephone support, and sent emails with image attachments to the address provided by their agent on the telephone.  My email goes unanswered and my open cases somehow get closed.
    Any ideas on how to get this issue addressed by Adobe are sincerely appreciated.

    Adobe tries to improve the Auto Tone function from time-to-time.  I used to completely underexpose an image that had a few bright spots such as car headlights turned on in an otherwise properly exposed image.  This is probably what you’re seeing, LR now guessing brighter more of the time, and it might change, again, in a future version so don’t be too concerned.  
    As others have said, Auto Tone works on some images and not on others, and Adobe can only try to make it work better on more images by changing how it works on all images.  For the lesson example, the author purposely used an image that was improved with auto-tone that LR did at the time of authorship.   You will never have a picture exactly like the lesson’s example, either, so it’s not that important if the lesson is 100% accurate for future versions of LR, just that the general idea that some pictures are improved in certain ways by Auto Tone will still be applicable, and you’ll need to learn, by trial and error, what to do when Auto Tone doesn’t work well or the image needs further adjustment.  That is the important lesson, what to do with your own pictures.
    You can reset a particular slider after a bad Auto Tone by double clicking on that slider.  The Exposure slider is the one I reset most often. 
    You can also LR set the Auto Tone value for just one slider by holding down the Shift key and double clicking on that one slider.  I do this a lot for the Blacks slider to set the black point, without messing up everything else.

  • After i made update to ios system the auto brightness for screen is not working any more although i am turning it on

    This is a user to user support forum and not Apple employees so it is best to not post your email address in an open discussion group.
    Have you tried a reboot of the iPhone?  Hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
    My iPhone went to full brightness all the time after updating to iOS 6.1.3.  A reboot seems to have helped make it work as it should.  Also check Settings > Brightness and Wallpaper and see how it is set, reduce the brightness level it is too bright for you.

  • Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.

    Hello! Noticed that the Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
    It works correctly only when such a dark place, then unlock the iPad brightness will be at a minimum. Likewise, if unlock iPad in a room with light, the brightness will adjust to the surrounding space.
    If I turn light into a dark room, the brightness slider does not move, and stands on the site. Checked on the iPhone 5S, there problems are not present. Auto Brightness is working correctly.
    P.S. Sorry for my bad english!

    iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help.
    iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.
    The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't.  Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
    The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?
    I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!
    And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

    You only want to do this if your iPhone won't turn on or off and is completely frozen. Instead, try Resetting all settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    I completely disagree.  Reset All Settings (your suggestion) would reset the OP's preferences and settings.  By contrast, resetting the iPhone (as I suggest) changes no preferences, settings, or any other data.  It simply starts the iPhone over, with no data loss.

  • Auto brightness

    the auto-brightness DOES NOT WORK.  useless and pointless if I have to manually adjust myself.  please let me know if this function is working for you

    Hello Aloon,
    I recommend following these steps when the brightness is not automatically adjusting:
    Display does not adjust brightness automatically
    The ambient light sensor brightens the display when using the iPhone in brightly lit environments, and dims the display in low light. To test this sensor, do the following:
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, remove it from the case. If there is a protective film on the display, remove the film.
    Verify that the Auto-Brightness setting (Settings > Brightness and Wallpaper) is set to ON, and that the Brightness level is set near the middle of the slider.
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen and then press the Sleep/Wake button to lock the iPhone.
    In a bright environment, cover the top third of the iPhone to block the light, then press the Sleep/Wake button or the Home button to wake the phone. Slide the slider to unlock the phone.
    Notice the brightness of the screen and application icons; they should be somewhat dimmed.
    Remove the cover from the top of the display and in a few moments the display should get brighter.
    Learn more about the brightness setting.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • IPad Air brightness changing with auto brightness off.

    I Have an iPad Air and the brightness is set to maximum and auto brightness is turned off.  After using the ipad the ipad brightness will increase dramatically and stay like this for anything up to five min, then it goes and reverts back to what it was. This all happening with auto brightness off. It's not overly dull and somewhat bright but after seeing the brightness go up further it looks a lot better. I have rest the ipad, reset the settings, checked the auto lock feature and calibrated the auto brightness feature. The only thing I haven't done is a fresh install of the Current iOS 7.1.2
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening would be appreciated or if anyone has encountered the same problem.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
