  • Auto brightness not working in ios6

    I updated my iPad (3rd gen) to ios6, but when the update is complete i found that the auto brightness not working, when i use the ipad on dark room the brightness not changing, when i use ios5.1 it changing.. Any solution and actually the problem is on ios or in the hardware? Looking for help asap...

    Well my device is different and since it is a iPhone 5, it is not being updated to iOS 6 but the issue is exactly the same. From my mind this could be up to software but also could be from an hardware issue. The thing is that even if it worked before iOS 6 for you the new software could have revealed hardware conflicts since the software interacts different with the hardware for some features. This would be the worst case scenario because I know that normally iPhone 4 devices if not the 8GB model will be out of warranty. For me this is just a small issue since my warranty is still one year :(
    I have contacted apple care for this issue and have get the info that it will be escalated to the engineering team, for further investigation. As I know there was also an issue with some proximity sensors at the beginning if the iPhone 4 models and I think there was an software fix for a lot of them. Hope for the best!!!
    I have also done a lot of Troubleshooting, reseted settings, content and settings, restored in dfu and recovery mode, restored with new .ipsw (iPhone OS), restored on different pc (so even this step gas downloaded a totally new .ipsw file), first on a Mac!
    Next step wis that I will let the battery drain low entirely, a Troubleshooting idea of an friend. This might empower the entire hardware for a restart. I am not really believing in this step but I will give it a try :)

  • Auto brightness not working on iPhone 5?

    On the iPhone 5 - In the settings, when flicking the auto brightness on/off the screen shows no change in brightness - whether in a completely dark room or with the lights on etc. My iPhone 4 has been updated to IOS6 and seems to be working normally (brightness auto adjusts in all situations).
    Anyone else have this problem of the auto brightness not working?

    There is nothing wrong with the auto brightness.
    When you have auto brightness enabled the slider works as the minimum brightness setting with auto brightness.
    If you have the slider too high the brightness cant reduce because youre not letting it.
    Set your brightness at about 25% and you'll see what I mean.

  • Has anyone else noticed that Auto-Brightness does work on iOS 6?

    I recently  noticed that Auto-brightness does not work under iOS 6 for my iPhone.  Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

    If it were the iOS, there would be a tremendous number of folks with this issue.
    It is not the iOS.
    If resetting doesn't solve it, try restoring.

  • Auto brightness not working -new screen protector or 4.0.2  to blame?

    Hi there,
    I recently bought a couple of new cases for my ipod touch (latest gen 64gb.
    They both came with a 'free' screen protector, one of which I have applied, can't recall which case it came with though. (and I'm not sure that matters anyway?)
    Since I applied the new screen protector I don't seem to have auto brightness any more.It is there, in the settings screen. But it doesn't seem to be working.
    I've tried switching it (the setting) on and off, turning the ipod off.
    I applied the protector around the same time that I updated to 4.0.2 (8A400) - I may have done the update. I 'think' I udated the unit the day before but I cannot really recall. I don't remember on what day I did which change so can't say what is causing this error.
    Is anyone else getting auto brightness errors after going up to 4.0.2?
    Is this kind of issue common with some screen protectors?
    New ipod user - never had an apple anything before this - had it about 2 months.
    Suggestions are GO

    This morning, I updated to iOS4.0.2. I went to sleep with Pandora on (I work midnight shift) and when I awoke, I switched to mail and lost the music. Verified it wouldn't stay on and proceeded to do a hard reset (held down on/off switch and home button simultaneously well over ten seconds (( apple came on and then went blank/off again ))). Turned my iPhone 3GS on again and problem was gone. Hope this helps you too.

  • Auto brightness not working

    Any ideas

    The iPhone checks brightness when it wakes up from sleep. Make sure your brightness level is not set to minimum.
    To check: in a bright room hold your thumb over the sensor above the ear piece.
    Turn the phone off, then on.
    Enter the home screen.
    It should be dim.
    Remove your thumb it should change brightness.

  • Auto brightness not working in ios8

    Anyone else have this issue with ios8? Doesn't matter how dark or light  it gets my iPhone 5 and iPad wont change display brightness.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices please share the ideas why its not working?

    Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices. Please share the idear i am facing this issue while developing code for devices.

    Hi there,
    I can confirm this bug.
    Not sure if this info is relevant, but this is my experience:
    I am on the FIDO network, and so are two other people I know.
    We all tried blocking numbers, and calls ring right through. Text messages are blocked successfully. (never tried facetime)
    I also tried a ROGERS device running IOS7, and was successfully able to block my phone call from ringing through. HOWEVER, my call was forwarded to their voicemail, I was able to leave a voicemail for the person, and they did get an alert that they had a new voicemail.
    I have not yet had a chance to test this on Bell, Telus, or any other carriers.
    Spoke to Apple, and they advised me to do a hard reset (hold both buttons to shut off and reboot the phone), and if that fails to do an iOS restore.
    I have yet to try this, but hopefully someone will have a better solution.

  • IMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

    iMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

    Yap, sad but true...
    The most annoying problem, besides iMessage, is the keyboard, it's horrible on my iPhone 4 in Safari. Some on some formulars the keyboard is so **** slow that I had to stop typing after 2nd word.
    But I could fix the iMessage Problem, first turn off iMsg, then you have to backup your Phone on your PC/Mac in iTunes, turn off auto sync when done and pull the phone off. Then go to the Phone settings and reset everything, then choose "set up as new device".
    When done go to settings and activate iMsg and wait for activation, it will work! After you're done plug the phone back to your PC/Mac and restore from the Backup you made before. Now go to phone settings again and check if iMsg is on, if not (as it was in my case), turn it on and activate again, it will work now!!!
    Attention: Apps and Music have to be resynced or downloaded after this, they are NOT part of the Backup.
    This was what Apple tech. support told me to do and it worked fine.

  • Auto dial not working

    Auto dial not working
    I'm using an iPad 4, with WiFi and Cellular and iOS 8.1.3
    In the past if I was searching for a hotel and found one I only had to tap on the phone number and it would dial using either Skype or MagicJack. It worked using Wi-Fi or my data plan. It was an absolutely valuable function especially when traveling.
    Now, when I click on a phone number, it says that it's going to exit the program (like Safari) and start a new program. When I click, Ok, nothing happens.
    I must have inadvertently changed some setting.
    Skype works, MagicJack works, but I must dial the number manually.
    I have tried turning "Handoff" off and on then rebooting, turning FaceTime off and on and rebooting (and every combination of those two programs and actions).
    To say the least, I am frustrated because it must be something obvious. (to everyone else!)
    Any ideas as to how to how I can get it to dial automatically again?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    IPAD user guide for IOS 8 is available on line at apple -
    you can download it in IBOOK or PDF format to refer to when you can't get connected to see it on-line
    http://support.apple.com/manuals
    Handoff is only for using with multiple devices - Iphone/Ipad/ipod
    This is the bit in Handoff on Phone calls
    Phone calls
    If your iPhone (with iOS 8) is nearby, you can make and receive phone calls on your other iOS devices and Mac computers. All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and signed into FaceTime and iCloud using the same Apple ID.
    Make a phone call on iPad. Tap a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari. You can also tap a recent contact in the multitasking screen.
    Disable iPhone Cellular Calls. On your iPhone, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    You may have to use Face Time to make calls from the IPAD -- there are page or 2 on that --
