  • Screen brightness and auto dim

    Hello everyone,
    I'm just wondering why the screenbrightness gets reduced in dark surroundings with turned on auto dim even more than it is manually possible.
    I would like to turn auto dim off and only control the brightness with the manual control but this does not let me reduce screenbrightness enough.
    Does anyone have a good suggestion? 

    Thanks for your reply. But that's not exactly what I was looking for.
    There is a big difference in how dark the display can be set when using the automatic backlight dimming. When turned on the screen can get to a very low brightness at night. It is not possible to achieve the same low brightness with automatic backlight dimming turned off.
    I suppose that this might only be possible with a software change.

  • Screen not auto dimming.....can anyone help?

    For some reason, my touch has stopped dimming. Whether I am playing a song, on the main screen, whatever, it just stays at the auto brightness setting, never going to the darker screen and never going all black. I have done a reset and this didn't fix it, but it is REALLY killing my battery life, especially after it didn't auto power off at all last night. Any ideas?

    did ur auto dim turned on?
    maybe u could set ur brightness
    or press the sleep button on top to turn off the screen but still playing ur music
    i think this could save ur batt life

  • Screen not auto dimming correctly

    I started to have an issue when the playbook auto dims the screen goes to a very light black/ dark greyish screen when i turn it back on the screen is really dark and the screen is not normal. I have to turn off the PB by pushing the power button then turning it back on to correct issue.  anyone know how to fix this annoying issue?
    I use my playbook for work all day long so i use word and excell 

    Try putting your thumb over the LED. If it does it then, it is the auto dim which can be turned off in settings.
    It is designed to dim the screen when indoors or at night to reduce glare, but it is all or nothing and often dims at an inopportune time. Try it, it's. Settings, Screen.

  • IMac 21.5" Screen 'flutter' when screen auto dims'

    Hi, I have a brand new 21.5" i7 with 8GB Ram. I noticed the other day that when the screen dimmed the whole panel seems to flutter, I also noticed that auto dimming never dims below a certain point and remains really bright, even in a dark room, yet my friends snow leopard variant has none of these issues and dims all the way down. I didn't want to keep a machine that's just over a week old if its defective but are these lion bugs or is it hardware? I was wondering if anyone with Lion is having similar issues, My machine was not an upgrade but came with 10.7 installed.

    It's out of Applecare/warranty by a couple of months and I cant afford to pay for it myself, any point in taking it to apple?

  • Screen auto dims and after about one second, it sleeps. If you try to catch it and undid the screen during this time, it freezes and you have to hard reset.

    If you leave the laptop untouched, it will auto dim the screen.
    About one second after autodim, the screen will turn off.
    If during that one second duration, you try to undim the screen (by touching the touchpad, for example), the laptop will freeze and the only way to turn it back on is by holding the power button.

    1. System Preferences > Energy Saver
        Press the "Restore Defaults" button.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

  • PS VITA Screen Auto Dimming

    I was considering buying a Vita but I've heard from a lot of people that the screen automaticaly dims if you don't press anything for a while, and that this can't be turned off. Although most of these reports seem to come from people who normaly have their brightness cranked all the way up. So my question is does the screen auto dim if you have the brightness set at say fifty percent? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes the screen will still dim, BTW this is to save battery and prevent screen burning.

  • Q10 screen auto dimming

    hi all,
    please help me turn off the auto dim option for the screen.
    i understand this may increase the battery consumption but i want my screen to be bright at all times.
    please HELP!

    hi,
    the autodim feature is now part of the way BB10 display work. They call it the "Garber Light Optimization". You can find more information here:

  • Y2P dim screen, caps lock indicator stuck on. Already disabled adaptive brighness... Warranty?

    Hi guys. Recently bought my second Y2P, this one second hand.
    Reason being my previous one was the 4GB i5 model, this one is the 8GB i7
    Now I've noticed a few things when I compare them. Firstly, and most annoyingly, the screen on this one is significantly dimmer than on my previous one. When I put it it max brightness it's only a little brighter than half way on my older one. When I put the brightness all the way down the screen turns off...
    I''ve already disabled auto dim in the battery settings, windows setting AND intel graphics control panel so I'm sure it's not down to that. I'm running the updated BIOS on both the systems also. This is unbelievably frustrating.
    Another annoying thing is that the CAPS lock indicator light is always on. Apart from when I press a button, it turns off whilst anything is being pressed (on the keyboard). It does this as soon as the machine is switched on.
    BIOS setting have been reverted to standard etc and nothing seems to be fixing any of it. I have also done a full reset of the machine on numerous occasions. Nothing.
    One last niggle is that I've noticed that the touchpad is ever so slightly sunk in (something that I probably only noticed because I have another yoga to compare it to) and there is some play in the touchpad which I would have noticed this regardless.
    Is it time to contact Lenovo warranty team? 
    Sorry for the long post, and I'd really appreciate any advice!

    Just to keep the thread updated in case by any chance someone has similar problems...
    I've contacted Lenovo who are saying it's likely a motherboard issue, I'll be getting a letter with details of how to arrange a courier to collect the system within the next few days. I'll let y'all know what comes of it!

  • Samsung 24-inch display auto-dimming problem

    Right out of the box 3 or 4 months ago, my Samsung 24 inch 2443 BW dims uncontrollably whenever I have a window open that has mostly black or other dark-colored background - say about 60% black; I can actually watch the whole screen and desktop - not just the window - brighten or darken in response to manipulating the images and/or background color in the window. This is on a G5 1.8GHz dual with a GeForce FX 5200, running 10.4.11. It doesn't depend on the ambient light. The System Prefs doesn't offer any way to control auto-dimming. I'm thinking it could be a driver problem, maybe related to the fact that I am still using 10.4.11.
    Has anyone had a similar problem and found a fix or workaround? Thanks.

    Problem solved! This morning (yes, I should've done this 6 months ago, soon after I bought the unit). As a prelude to returning the unit to Samsung, I finally took the 2443 BW back to my local Apple (specialist) dealer (not an Apple Store. They're independent and don't usually "do PCs", although they can if required). Of course I made sure I had some images that were guaranteed to demonstrate the problem. Their "service genius" watched the behavior for less than a minute and promptly fixed it. (Kudos! )
    All that was needed was to "turn off" the "Dynamic Contrast" option from the Samsung's menu (MENU > Picture > MagicBright > Dynanamic Contrast), by selecting one of the other (static) options instead - I preferred the "Sport" option.
    When I got it reconnected at home, I adjusted the contrast and brightness settings on the Samsung's Menu to suit me. I am also using the (Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Adobe RGB (1998) Display profile instead of the one labeled "SyncMaster"). The SyncMaster display profile makes the screen look very washed-out.
    This dialogue has definitely helped, by helping to pinpoint the monitor itself as the most likely source of the problem.
    Cheers

  • Why does ipad dim after turning off auto dim

    my ipad continues to dim slightly back and forth despite the fact i turned off auto dim, why?

    Have you tried closing the scrabble app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the scrabble game 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the scrabble app to close it (you could also 'close' the apps that are in the taskbar), and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    A third option would then be to delete and re-install the app and see if that makes any difference

  • Auto-dimming in upcoming 3.0 upgrade?

    The one major thing that frustrates me about the "touch" is that I either have to choose between a few "timed" settings before the screen goes into blank lock mode or I have to leave it on forever which kills the battery. Does anyone know if the upcoming 3.0 software will have an auto-dimming feature that will perhaps dim the screen to 1/2 or 1/3 power after maybe 30 seconds to prolong battery life?

    It's kind of a big deal to me particularly when I'm playing music. If I have the screen set for say 3 minutes and I want to change the song that's playing at 3:01 I have to either double click the home button or unlock it completely each time, which can be frustrating not only once but every single time I want to change a song or an album. I think my old iPod Classic had the dimming feature--seems like a natural to me.
    Thanks for the heads up on Stanza and Flashlight; I may try them if 3.0 does not offer the dimming feature.

  • Xbox 360 Auto-dim every 10 minutes

    Why does my xbox360 auto-dim every 10 minutes, while connected to windows 7 media center?
    I've tried every setting I can think of on the xbox and the win7 box it's connected too... Screen savers, power management settings. It still will randomly dim the screen every 10 minutes while watching anything on mediacenter. Sometimes it'll be fine for hours, and then you change the channel and it'll start happening like clockwork, every 10 minutes...
    Reboot, and sometimes that fixes it, sometimes it doesn't, very frustrating to troubleshoot when I can't reproduce it accurately.
    The dimming I believe is coming from the xbox, but the first thing I did was disable it's screen saver in the system settings of the console.

    1.) Turn on the 360 and load up the Media Center Extender frontend.
    2.) Bring up a command prompt window on the PC and run the regedit utility.
    3.) Browse to the registry location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist
    4.) Make note of the registry user key associated to the Media Center user (probably Mcx1 although I assume there maybe an Mcx2 etc. if you have more that one extender). 
    5.) Browse to the registry location:
    HKEY_USERS\[registry user key from step 4]\Control Panel\Desktop
    6.) Change the ScreenSaveActive key to 0 by double clicking it.
    Same old bug no matter what the xbox is set to it's always on on the PC. I have had to do this on every windows i've set up so far. It works fine in windows 7 too. Very annoying the screensaver dim problem.
    By the way you do have to restart the media centre on the xbox to pick up the registry edit.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • Auto dim settings on Iphone

    I stupidly took off the auto dim on the iphone and now the screen is blank and i cant see how to get it back. I tried turning it off, touching anywhere on the screen...
    please help!!

    Something else has to be going on. Despite making brightness changes to the iPhone, you cannot turn the screen completely off. I would try to do a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then releasing. Once the iPhone restarts, see if the screen responds. While it can be dim, it doesn't go out completely.

  • Auto-dimming LCD and stripes

    The unit is a X121e with 64-bit original preinstalled windows 7.
    Stripes are appearing when moving cursor in Firefox and " Thunderbird. As both are Mozilla products, maybe it is a developer dependent problem. Restart didn't help. Just asking whether anyone encountered something like this.
    Second problem: Screen got totally (and auto) dimmed when bringing Google chrome or firefox in foreground. Restart did help, but want to know if I missed anything. Same question here: did anyone have this kind of problem?
    Thanks

    I would like to share with you that it might be because of software issue.
    To diagnose, I would suggest you to please update the graphics driver and also update the Bios of your Notebook from the below mentioned web link.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
    After this, please restart the Notebook and check if the issue resolved.

    Sameer
