Curve screen goes dark while navigating

While using Verizon Navigator, Curve 8330 screen goes dark unless I continue to hit the rollerball every few seconds. The security option allows for a 2-minute window but, at times, I will need hours of screen light. How do I correct this?

  • IBooks screen goes dark while reading

    When reading in iBooks or Kindle, screen goes dark after 1/2 page or so. Any ideas?

    Hello there, tiamark.
    The following page from the iPad User's Guide refers to the Auto-lock feature. You may want to increase the auto-lock time frame, in order for the iPad not to shut down while you are reading your books:

    Set the auto-lock time. Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock.

  • Iphone4 screen goes dark while I'm using voicemail

    or calling...I suppose it's to save battery but I looked at settings and didn't find anything to adjust it - For instance, I want to place a call to my voicemail on home land line, I do so and then hit the speaker to hear it without holding the phone, the voicemail needs to have some numbers put in but about half way thru the screen goes black - the voice is going on about needing to punch in 1 1 # and I'd do that if I could see the screen= but it's black = if I punch around it comes on again but that defeats the purpose of having the keypad nonhidden = and i end up punching the wrong number anyway [hitting 5 to get the screen back on because I can't see the numbers of course]

    My new Macbook Air (Core i5 - mid 2011) Build 11A2063 doesn't have the same problem where the screen goes black while working, but I DO have the major issue of it not waking properly after sleep.
    Mainly with the lid open on battery after leaving it for 20 mins, I come back and the thing won't wake. It just sits on a black screen. I'll have to either shut the computer down by holding the power button or close the lid and wait 5 to 10 seconds and then open it back up and THEN the login screen will come on.
    I think this is a hardware issue. How would we report this?
    And does anyone else have this problem?

  • Screen goes dark too quickly while on call

    Hi- I am just learning to use my new iphone 4, already did software update. When i am on a call, the screen goes dark within a few seconds so that i cant easily get back to the keyboard, the screen that allows me to go on speakerphone etc. Is this normal? I adjusted the auto-lock in settings but i couldnt find any adjustment for the screen going to sleep while on the phone. Also, is there any way to adjust the number of rings before the call goes to voicemail? Thanks.

    hey mehode,
    correct me if im wrong..
    laptop at maximum brightness or even if brightness level is set at half .. the backlight is off. ? And if you close the lid the backlight will suddenly switch on ?
    curious to know as this had happen before you installed that BIOS 7FETC7WW 2.27-1.08 , when did it start to happen ? was any new software installed before it started to happen ?

  • 6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

    Hi
    Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
    Thanks

    Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.

  • Computer screen goes dark (stops)after latest update.

    After my latest update,computer crashes,screen goes dark,using wireless mouse;difficult to restart.
    Is it 6.3 or the mouse?

    First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
    Then, download the 10.6.3 Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
    You can install it right over what you already have.

  • MBP retina: wifi drops out when screen goes dark

    Hi there,
    I've got a MBPr 15inch with the latest OSX version (incl. updates).
    When my screen goes dark after 10 minutes of inactivity, my WIFI connection *always* drops out. So if I'm syncing something over Dropbox for instance, it will stop working. I basically have to make sure my laptop never goes inactive for too long. This is really annoying and one of a few other problems I'm having with this MBPr.
    I've searched these forums, and there are people with similar or related problems but I couldn't find any solution yet.
    Anyone else out there similar problems?
    Thanks,
    Kai

    Hi f, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It sounds like it could be a bad inverter board, but I don't know if that would cause it to happen only while using the power adapter. Depending on your exact model, it could be:

  • MacBook Air Boots to OS, then screen goes dark.

    I have recently been working on an older style (A1304) MacBook Air with the 128GB SSD. I've been working on Mac's for years, and have worked on hundreds, but this is the first time I've ever come across this particular issue.
    Liquid damaged MacBook Air. Keyboard and Trackpad mainly took the brunt of the spill. Popped off the keys, cleaned it all up. Button for the trackpad no longer works, but everything else does. Entire computer was disassembled, no other liquid was found.
    MacBook Air boots up normally, and I was using it for a few hours to make sure everything was working fine. Left it to charge. Came back two hours later, and the screen was dark (but the image was still visible, as if the backlight was not on). Could see the mouse pointer moving, but backlight won't come back on. Turned off computer, turned it back on. Backlight works just fine, and it boots to the OS. Within 10 seconds of booting to OS, the screen goes dark (screen goes completely black with no image). Couple seconds later, light on the front starts to "breathe" indicating it's sleeping. Wake it back up, and image appears on the screen, but no backlight. Then it "goes to sleep" again.
    Boot computer to a Flash Drive with Snow Leopard Installer and once the blue screen comes on as if the installer is just about to pop up, it "goes to sleep" immediaetly. Though, the backlight and computer will stay on in the Apple Hardware Test for as long as I want. (ran it several times, "no trouble found". Also reset the PRAM, nothing helps.
    I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this. Completely baffled on whether it's a software or hardware (or combination of the both) issue I'm having.

    The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer.  The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof.  It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components.  If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it.  Do the EXACT opposite.  Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it.  The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components.  You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not.  I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly. 

  • On iPhone 4, the screen goes dark and freezes when I start Safari

    All of a sudden, today I can't access the internet via Safari on my Verizon iPhone 4. If I click on a link in an email or start Safari, the screen goes dark and freezes. What's up with this and what the fix?

    Hi
    Try holding sleep/wake + power button for 10 seconds, until you see the Apple Logo.
    See how that goes.

  • Edge 540 model : when I connect/disconnect AC power cord, screen goes dark

    For the past few days, everytime I connect the power cord, the screen goes dark for a second. The same thing happens when I disconnect the power cord. Can someone help me find out what is wrong with it? Is it a hardware issue or is it just a momentary glitch (It just started happening yesterday)?
    My laptop is brand new so I can use the warranty if i have to.
    OS: Win 8
    Thank you.

    this is a normal behaviour it happens all the time. It is your refresh rate changing between different power setting. Set the screen refresh rate at 60 hz for both battery and with ac adapter connected this should prevent the momentary blanking of the lcd.
