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?
Contact Apple Support.

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 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.

The auto-brightness of my iPhone is not working, and my system is really unstable. What is Apple going to do about those bugs?

I would like to know when Apple will fix these terrible bugs of the last software updates. My phone isn't working properly. I'm considering the idea of getting another smartphone...

If your system is unstable, you should consider restoring your device through itunes to get a fresh version of the operating system.
If your auto-brightness isn't working, it's possible that there is an issue with your phone's ambient light sensor which is hardware and not affected by an iOS update
Are you using a case? if so, it's possible that you're using one that was made for an iPhone 4 instead of a 4S which has an ambient light sensor that is a few millimeters to the left, so some iPhone 4 cases could cover it slightly, causing the ambient light sensor to not work as affectively

My Auto-Brightness is not working on my iPhone5

Resetting may help. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
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 not working in iOS 5.0.1

Auto brightness on iPad 1 not working properly? Well known bug? Battery level is also terrible.

   - close smart cover and open cover

But no battery problem on my ipad2

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 of screen and keyboard backlight not working

Basically, since I updated to OS X Lion, the auto brightness feature for the screen and keyboard hasnt been working, despite the fact I have it turned on
Thanks in advance for your help

Same problem here. I initially thought the auto-brightness problem had been fixed in 10.7.3, but sadly it hasn't. The auto-brightness works when the Mac starts, but I find it loses control and fails after wake from sleep.
I have telephoned AppleCare several times but they are not aware of this bug. They think a PRAM reset cures it, but it doesn't. As soon as the machine goes to sleep then auto-brightness fails on wake.
I have used the Apple Form to report the bug. It might eventually get fixed if others would kindly report it as well please. Here is the link:

Why does auto brightness has a bug in iOS 7.1.1 . The brightness switches automatically to higher in bright places but not returns to lower brightness in dark places but when you lock and unlock it becomes normal

Hello,
Same problem for me. Really a pain in the *** this bug ! Does Apple fixed it. I'm really suprised noone reports this problem and apple does not adress this.
Because of that, I cannot give it anymore to children because it hurts the view. Really a shame on the part of apple !

How can I get the Auto Brightness feature to stop turning itself off?

I just moved from a GS5 to the GS6. I'm having several issues with the GS6. For this discussion: I check the box for Auto Brightness control. Shortly thereafter, the box seemingly un-checks itself and the brightness blasts up. That's not easy to read and it certainly will deplete my battery charge more quickly. Have I missed something? Thanks for any and all help.@

Thank you! I removed The Car/Driving app and the Auto Brightness function
has been behaving for almost 1/2 hour now. That's a record! I appreciate
your help!!!

I can't see my i4 phone in bright daylight. Auto brightness is on.

Any suggestions?

Go inside? Seriously, it's a limitation of the technology. You might try tiring auto brightness off and manually adjusting the brightness.

IPhone display auto brightness

brightness does not function properly on the new iPhone4 sometimes it's dim and I can't see the screen during the day and I need to powered off and re start the system in order for to work properly I've had to do this twice in the four days that I've had my new iPhone4
I have always used the AUTO LIGHT CONTROL feature for the screen displayed on my old iPhone 3GS and it does save the battery I never used
manual setting and I kept in the normal position and it never worked like this it always works properly maybe a bit slow but this one the screen is stuck in the light position sometimes that is dark and I haven't even been in the dark it's either a software issue or maybe somethings wrong with the sensor on the new iPhone if this is a common

Do you use a case, screen protector?
Maybe it is blocking the Ambient Light Sensor.
Set whether iPhone adjusts screen Go to Settings > Brightness and turn Auto-Brightness on or off. If Auto- brightness automatically Brightness is on, iPhone adjusts the screen brightness for current light
conditions using the built-in ambient light sensor.

Auto brightness trouble

The auto brightness on my ipad mini with ios 8.1 isn't working.
Please help. Cheers

Hello there, philfrombuderin.
When having issues with the brightness of your screen on an iOS device, the following Knowledge Base aritcle offers up some great steps for troubleshooting:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
