Auto-Dim Without Auto-Lock

I am trying to find an app that will let me dim the ios7 screen after a minute without having to swipe to "unlock" the screen every single time I want to use the phone.
AutoDimWithoutLock is the only app that I have read about that lets you dim the screen, without triggering the so-called "Auto-Lock" feature.
I have the passcode prompt set to 4 hours, so the passcode is not the issue.
However, AutoDimWithoutLock is a cydia tweak, and I have never jailbroken my iphone before.
Is there another app that does this same thing, but is not form cydia?
Thanks.

Did you ever figure this out?
I can't beleive we are either:
1) the only two folks who can't figure out where this setting is hidden
or
2) the only two folks that think being able to dim the screen withOUT locking it is important ....

Screen Auto-Dims, when Auto-Dim is Off

I did the SL upgrade a few days ago on my 2008 MBP, I did a clean install. And now I've been noticing my screen will dim a few ticks from full brightness by itself while I'm working. My power is plugged in and I have made sure auto-diming is set off. ONce it dims I have to hit F2 to bring it back full. I never had this issue with 10.5

When does this occur? There is another option in the Energy Saver settings that will dim the display before it goes to sleep, but that doesn't sound like the problem you're having. Just thought I'd throw that out there as a possibility.

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.

Auto dimming on MBP-Retina

I've noticed that my MBP-Retina doesn't auto dim when the room gets darker like my old MBP. Is there a setting that allows for this?

I have exactly the same issue, not good for driving using GPS driving! For the avoidance of doubt, the phone is not plugged in when driving but dims by itself; brightnesses gone down to 0 itself whether auto-brightness is on or off; even after driving when not on Google GPS I found the phone to be dimming...
This problem seems to only occur only when using Google GPS. This problem goes away when using GPS function via Contacts i.e when the address fields are populated selecting that takes you to maps, with the option to navigate or drive to...
Hope this helps - if anyone knows how to use the Apple Navigation without using Contacts already saved in the phone ie enter the postcode only without having to create the contact and address first please let me know!

Auto dimming on iPhone 5

How to turn off auto dimming? It is impairing driving with the GPS software while power is connected to iPhone.
Any ways around the dimming?

IPhone auto dim feature?

My auto dim works. BUT, I just noticed that my two friends iphones put the screen in a really low dim mode when they aren't touched for 30 seconds or so. Mine will not do it, even if the auto-dim is on. Does anyone know if it has anything to do with another feature?

I just figured it out. If you have the auto-lock feature set to "never", your phone will never dim the screen when not in use. If you set it to any one of the "minute" intervals, it will dim.

IMovie capture from DV tape without auto scene break

Has anyone figured out to prevent iMovie from automatically inserting scene breaks in iMovie'11.
I am importing previously edited footage for conversion. This still contains the timestamps.
After importing, iMovie automatically places each clip by time/date order in Events - which means it is jumbled up because it has previously been edited.
Basically what I want is either 1) to import as a single clip, i.e. disable auto scene break, or 2) to be able to sort clips into same time/date order that they were imported.
Cheers

iMovie will assume that anything imported in DV Stream is coming directly off a camcorder, and therefore will be sorted in chronological order.
If you still have access to the software where you created these movies, you can share them out in something other than DV Stream.
For example, if you have iMovie 06, you can import it without auto scene breaks. Then Export Using QuickTime to an mov container in the DV codec. That will produce an mov file that iMOvie 11 will import in the correct order.

Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
Thanks

Unfortunately there is not.

Not without the help of third party software such as this one:

Go from manually update to auto-update without losing songs?

I was trying to delete some podcasts from my ipod, and was following the directions on the help menu which told me to go to preferences and choose manual update, then delete. I tried it, and it didn't work. When I decided to go back to auto update, I received a message that everything on my ipod would be deleted and the update would be just what is on the itunes on that machine. I have more than one computer, and have itunes on each one. There are different songs on each computer. If I go to manually update on this computer, it will erase the songs I've put on from other computers. All this and I still have the unwanted podcasts. Can anyone help me to go back to auto-update without losing songs? If worse comes to worst I guess I'll have to update, lose the songs, and then re-update at my other computers. thanks.

Afraid that's not possible. If you go to auto-update, the iPod gets cleared and replaced with the current contents of the iTunes library.

I want to change my region and everytime it says my itunes match subscription is active. I disabled the auto renewal without any success!! I even called apple support that promised me to call within 2 I want to change my, that was 10 days ago!! Any help??

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

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

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

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
