Auto-brightness iPad Air

Just replaced my older iPad with an iPad Air and although its great I have an issue with the brightness. When sitting using it i kept thinking this is far too bright for me compared to my older iPad 3 and then realised that the auto-brightness wasn't changing at all. I did a hard reset and no difference and then recalbirated the brightness and although the auto-brightness will rise in a bright room - it won't ever go down if you go somewhere darker. Really annoying and I just can't seem to get it working right. More annoying simply because my old iPad just worked!

iPad Air iOS 7.1.1 feature request. Please add "Automatic Dimming" feature to the "Automatic Brightness" feature. Similar to the semiautomatic dimming feature, this new feature would dim the brightness to the set level without the user even having to lock, unlock and enter the PIN to get back to what they were doing when they turned the lights out.
I believe the secret lies ironically somewhere in the code for the "Automatic Brightness" feature. Same approach but reverse the use case to achieve screen dimming in darkness instead of the other way around. I'm talking to you, New Apple Software Engineer Kid. Just code it tonight while everyone has gone home. Check it in, get that pull request approved first thing in the morning, nurse it into the build, make it happen. Dimming is your way to shine. They don't think like you do and they'll never see you coming until you're already across the finish line. Now, go take what's yours.

Safari tab auto-refresh (iPad Air iOS 7.0.4)

When I have multiple tabs open on Safari and I switch from one tab to another, the tab that I'm switching to will reload, causing me to lose the spot I was at on the page. This is especially frustrating when I'm in the process of writing something on one tab then need to use another tab to search for a reference in regards to what I am writing on the previous tab and when I go back to the original tab, everything I had written is gone so I've had to select and copy what I can so I don't always lose all my work (in fact this happened twice while writing this post and I lost all text) but still always lose some of it since I can only save text from one section of a page, for example, I cannot save the title and the body of my post when creating a new thread.
This is also very annoying when I'm trying to read news articles and I keep having to start at the beginning of the page and always have to scroll through the article to get back to where I was...
This is basically making the whole browsing experience very unpleasant. Is there a fix for this? Please do help me if you know of one.

Apple is getting worse and worse. I have the same problem with my iPad retina and I had the same problem with iPad 3 but not with iPad 2. Before to buy the iPad Air I checked in a store if they fixed this annoying problem but I saw they didn't, so I decided not to buy it anymore and actually I want to sell my iPad retina because the auto refresh is very annoying, I cannot use it to work! Apple is good for children to play but not to work. Next time I will buy a cheap chinese android tablet. Also the operating system is much worse than iOS6. Instead to lose their time (the engineers) for this dusguted transparent design that makes me nausea, they could work to fix all the problems the iPad has. It seems they worked hard to make a worse operating system, look at the task bar for example; Earlier there were the url task bar and google's task bar, now they put them together....it's ridiculous!!! If I want to go back to the google page I have to write everything from the beginnig, instead earlier it was sufficient going to the google's task bar and the last research would appeared.

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...

IPad Air auto brightness doesn't dim

Hi guys I recently purchased an iPad Air, and I've noticed an auto brightness issue. Whenever I unlock the iPad in a bright room and move to a dark room, it doesn't dim (I've had it dim TWICE following that scenario, but after a long wait--30 minutes or more). Now when I unlock the iPad in a dark room and move to a bright room and then move again to a dark room, the iPad brightens and dims as it should. I've updated my iPad to 7.1 with the same behavior. Restored shortly after and same behavior. Erased all settings, reboot, etc. EVERYTHING. I'm aware of having to lock/unlock the iPad to "readjust" to dim lighting, but is that the case for all iPads? Is this normal behavior for an iPad?
My iPhone 5 on 7.0.6 does it all automatically (without having to lock/unlock) for as long as I can remember. The iPhone 5 brightens and dims according to the light. Bright room to dark, it dims. Dark room to bright room, it brightens. It works perfectly.
I would just like to know if all iPads are supposed to act this way, and if so then why when going from bright to dark it doesn't dim, but when I go from dark to bright to dark then it dims correctly?

Have the same issue. Have you solved it?

Hi imtomstamp,
If your iPad’s brightness does not appear to be working correctly you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

While your symptoms do not match exactly, the steps are still relevant and will allow you to find whether the issue is with software or hardware.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Auto brightness of iPad mini retina is not working after 7.1.1 update

Auto brightness of my iPad mini retina has stopped working after iOS 7.1.1 update.
The brightness neither automatically reduces nor does it increases as per the change in ambient light conditions.
I have ensured that auto brightness is ON still nothing seems to happen. Pl help.

I had to turn off website restrictions to get it to work.

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.

IPad Air - photo auto created in gallery issue

Hi everyone!
Not sure if anyone found this issue before, the identical photo has been auto created in gallery (iPad Air 7.1.1) many times. I never took the photo myself. it just looks like it came from the internet but I never saved. I wonder if this is a bug and how should i do to solve the issue. Many thanks in advance !!

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

IOS8 iPad Air (A7) Safari Auto-fill slows text entry down

iPad Air (A7)
iOS8
64GB
I am entering text into the following site (renew a subscription): http://oracle-sub.halldata.com/site/ORA000401OCrenew/init.do?{removed http query params}
Safari auto text is severely slowing text entry (the suggested text at the bottom of the screen is cool, but seems to cause a drag)
Aside from turning this nifty feature off, iOS8 safari seems it needs to be tuned to work properly.
Suggestions?
Thanks

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.

IOS 8.02 update cause iPad Air to auto reboot while playing games and always 'No Sim installed' appears

I have updated my iPad 3 and iPad air to the latest update iOS 8.02 sinice a week ago. The iPad 3 is okay while the ipad air is having problems. Firstly it randomly auto reboots and apps auto shuts as well. Secondly the 'No Sim installed' always appears while using the iPad. Anyone having the same problem please advise how to solve these problems. Thanks.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Ipad air no auto on/off

Ipad air no auto on/off display when open or close cover!!!

If you are using iOS7 - as an iPad Air does, then you must see the Lock/Unlock setting in Settings > General. If not, restart your iPad.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

My ipad 3 auto brightness doesn't adjust to darkness

My ipads auto-brightness doesn't adjust well in dark or dim places, if i go out side it adjusts to full brightness which is great but when i go back in side to a dim room or something, it doesn't dim my screen its still at full brightness, is there something that I'm doing wrong or what, or is there like an extra setting that i don't know about?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.
