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 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.

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 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 --

Who is NOT using a screen protector?

I would like to hear from people not using any screen protector. Does your screen scratch up at all with normal use? I'd rather not apply one if I don't have to. I tried the one that came with my iSkin revo2 (the best skin case out there!), but I don't like it on there. The screen doesn't look as good as it does bare.

I never used a screen protector on my 1st generation iphone and never had any issues.
On my new 3g iphone - i did put on the invisible shield on the front and back. I didn't install it on the front to protect against scratches though - I installed it on the front as the invisible shield seems to GREATLY reduce the amount of finger smudges and smears - it made a huge difference in the amount of greasy fingers smears - works like magic, and it is also so clear that I really don't notice it on there.
I also put it on the back to keep the white plastic from getting scratched - it also has a slightly sticky feel to it - just the right amount which I like.
Best Buy sells the front side of the invisible shield for $15 - alot of money for sure but it's awesome. Check this vid on youtube - pretty darn strong

Hi KMS, check the codec used between that GW using the FXO and the CTI RP.
Check also the Calling Seach Space
GW should be able to reach CTI Route Point and CTI ports partition.
If you try other extension it works fine?

Auto keyframe and auto transition not working

auto keyframe and auto transition not working and I have a creative cloud, in addition the auto keyframe works in the getting startel lessons....

In order to use these you need to have the autokey frame and transition selected
OFF ON
and have the first key checked then move the playhead to the new position and it should add the transition.
Did you try this and it is not working?.

Hi,
What's the size or your archive.pst file? Please first make sure it's not getting close to 50 GB limit.
If the size far below 50 GB, please try to use the Inbox Repair tool to scan and repair the archive.pst file. If the file is corrupt, the autoarchive will not happen.

Auto Brightness stopped working on my 2010 MacBook Pro

The auto brightness stopped working on my 2010 MacBook Pro (2,4ghz, 4GB). It doesn't do anything anymore. I've tried restarting. I've also cleaned the surface on the sensor to make sure there isn't any dust sitting on it. And yes, it's auto-brightness is actived. I've also tried deactivating it and reactivating it. I'm running MacOS X 10.6.4. since it was released but I've had this problem for only the last couple of days.
What can I do ?
Any help is welcome.

Hi Linhtran, in regards to your iphone charger acting up its sounds similar to what happened with my macbook I decided to go to a different apple store and ask the same question the man working there said that it was highly unlikely to get two duds in a row I showed him the receipt I got from paying for them and he set up a refund and then looked at my computer and charger he said it was possible my computer was responsible for shorting them out he then took my computer in for testing and thus this was the problem and so far its been working well, I suggest going to your local apple store and telling them what's been happening and if they keep giving you the same answer and still nothings working try taking it to another store, or it could possibly be a electrical problem at your home, the reason I'm thinking this is because I know that apple integrated some kind of block on there chargers to stop high levels of electricity getting to your phone and stuffing it up so if its working in your car that would make sense because a car has a consistent amount of electricity whereas in a house or apartment building you don't know what could be happening with the wires I would try getting an adapter for your country and trying that in the meantime (considering that adapters are built for the specific purpose of converting the volts of electricity to match your equipment) and in the long term getting an electrician to come and check it out, an easy way to know wether this is happening is to see if any of your other stuff (lamps, computers ect) are having the same problem. Hope this helped!

Ipad screen is locked. SLIDE function will not work but screen does still rotate.

ipad screen is locked. slide function will not work but screen does rotate...

Try this.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
