Dim display before locking

I noticed that the iphone is set to dim it's display about 10 seconds or so before locking. I know you can change the time elapsed before actually locking, but is there a way to have the phone dimmed for a longer duration before actually locking and going black?

I don't think Arthur Xie's response should be marked as the answer. This doesn't sound like it has any relevance to Craig's original question, and hasn't been corroborated by anyone. It threw me off the scent when I encountered the exact same
problem - Windows 7 locking me out after 1 minute and requiring password re-entry
It turns out that Ramesh's answer was the one that worked for me. Somehow my machine got set to wait 1 minute and "on resume, display logon screen" was ticked. Don't know how this happened.
I initially missed this, because the selected screensaver was "(none)", so I assumed all the settings on this page were irrelevant. It does raise the interesting usability point that a screen saver of "(none)" can still blank the screen, even
though the user hasn't purposely selected the "Blank" screensaver.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Dimming before locking

Was the software recently changed so that when the phone is inactive for a few moments the screen goes dim before locking? My auto brightness is set to off so I know it's not that.

I think it has always done that (or at least my previous phone did).

HT1212 My iPhone is displaying a "iPhone is disabled" notification. It asked me to enter my password multiple times before locking me out.

My iPhone is displaying a "iPhone is disabled" notification. It asked me to enter my password multiple times before locking me out. Can you help with this?

Hey there!
Unfortunetly, in situations like this, the ONLY other way to bypass that four-digit passcode and/or a disabled device is to connect to a computer with the most recent version of iTunes (11.1.3), connect the device in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory settings. Restoring to factory will completely wipe the device, including the four-digit passcode.
The steps to do so are outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
(If there is any other way to bypass the passcode, it would have to be third-party, which I am not familiar with any program that can, sorry!).

Dimming display

I am having a problem with my G5 iMac.
I allow my display to sleep after 5 minutes and do not have it set to "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep."
Unfortunately, the display dims after about 5 minutes of use (5 minutes after I wake the display up).
Right before it dims, it gets brighter twice (even though I operate at maximum brightness), then it dims and I cannot increase the brightness.
The only way to get the screen to come back to full brightness is to let it go to sleep.
I tried a Archive and Install a while back in hopes of fixing this problem, but it persists.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Yes, read your user manual.
The screen is designed to dim in different lighting conditions. If you don't want it to do that, go to your system preferences and change it.
System Preferences>Displays>Automatically dim display as ambient light changes

Auto dimming display/kb not working

I need some help tracking down where this setting is stored. Here is the situation...
I have 2 user accounts on a 2.4 Penryn MBP. When the computer is 1st booted the kb backlight is on and the display is dimmed to the same level regardless of the ambient light levels. When I log into MY account on this machine the levels remain and the light sensors are completely non-responsive even if I cover the speaker grills completely. I have both auto dimming check boxes selected in the display and keyboard system prefs.
Now, if I log into my wife's account on the same machine, everything works just as it did before. Auto-dimming of both the kb and display back to normal.
I have tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, trashing all prefs in my user folder, trashing prefs in the root library folder.
Where are these settings stored? Any ideas on how to reset them?

I really would like to know too where are stored the enable/disable auto-dimming display preferences.
This setting is not scriptable, not programmaticaly accessible (Obj-C), not even stored in any .plist, because I have logged filesystem events and nothing is written to the disk when this setting is changed.
It is really annoying ! I would like to access this setting by applescript for exemple. The only way to change it is by opening the System Preferences, then de Displays panel, then using the checkbox.
Does someone have any clue on this?

Dim Display key takes 2 taps

I have just started noticing a strange behavior in my MBP (early 2009, just before built-in batteries on 15 inch).
The Dim Display key now takes 2 taps to work. For instance, tapping it once brings up the Brightness meter, but does not change the brightness. A second quick tap dims the screen 1 level. A third tap does nothing (assuming the brightness meter is already up), a fourth tap dims the display another level.
Thoughts?

Just happens when the room is very dark, apparently a feature for some reason.

"0" doesn't display before comma in float numbers...

Hi fellow APEX users,
Have you ever experienced this issue with float numbers in your APEX forms?
When I type float numbers between -1 and 1 in forms (e.g. 0,7 or -0,2), and after having submitted the form then reloaded it for editing, "0" doesn't display before the comma.
For example I got:
*,7* instead of *0,7*
-,2 instead of -0,2
etc.
If I look in SQL Workshop, I see the same (no "0") but I'm pretty sure that the value is properly recorded in the database.
The thing is that it's not very nice for the end users, as they can think the value is wrong.
Does anybody have a solution to display proper float numbers with "0" in the forms?
For info I use the NUMBER type.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Romain.

Hi Peter!
Of what type is your item? Display as text or do you use the item value for further computations.
If it is only for means of displaying the correctly formatted number, I'd change the item source to a query and would equip the desired column with a to_char function like:
select to_char(str_be_main, 'fm999G999G990D00') from yourtable where ...You could also use a post calculation computation and enforce the format there:
to_char(:P2027_YOUR_ITEM,'fm999G999G990D00')Maybe this helps!
Brgds,
Seb

S405 dim display

Hi folks. Bought laptop new with windows 8 for use in a school district
I don't have the resources to support 8 right now, so I went to load windows 7.
Windows 8 display was bright
The setup when loading windows 7 was bright as well. All going ok.
But, after loading the AMD chipset drivers that are all bundled together, the display is half a bright as it was.
All settings I can find for brightness are maxed: In the power settings, the OSD keyboard setting (F12), the AMD display interface....
Too bad too, as there are many reviews of this latop that indicate a dim display and I'm sure that folks are getting turned away by that. After running a fresh install I know that the display and hardware are fine. It's the driver that's broken. PLEASE can Lenovo or AMD get a fix for this? It's almost unusable it's so dim.
John
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had to reload Windows 8 from a flash drive since I couldn't get any Windows 7 displays drivers to function correctly. For Windows 8, the drivers on the website were in a self-extracting executable that didn't work properly (I don't know if they've fixed them now), and then for a while they took them down (I don't know if they're back up). At the time when I reimaged the system, I had to download the Windows 8 drivers from the Chinese site, and they worked correctly for Windows 8. This particular laptop was a gift, so I don't have it anymore. Just happy I could get it working again with Windows 8.
After I was having so much trouble with Windows 7, I called Lenovo support to alert them of their drivers not functioning. I was hung up on. I'm not happy with Lenovo support, and if I didn't do I.T. for a living, I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to get working Windows 8 drivers.

Heat, Fan, and dimming display questions

I have a hot running MacBook Pro. I've had the unit returned for service and only one of my four issues was resolved. The unit is going back again for service.
I seemed to irritate the last tech support person by asking questions about the heat issues. Maybe some people here can help answer the question that changed his tone for the worse during the remainder of the support call.
Can you easily hear the fan(s) when they operate or do you have to put your ear real close to the laptop to hear the fan(s) operate?
I asked because I couldn't tell you what a fan sounds like on this machine. I'm on my second motherboard and I cannot feel any air flow from all those vents (or anywhere else for that matter) along the back of the laptop near the display hinge.
Has anyone found a correlation between a dimming display and heat? What happens is the display dims the equivelent of bringing down the brightness down three levels and after a few seconds it brightens back up.
The laptop is going in for a second repair for the following reason:
"Problem Description: Customer sensory issues - Temperature perception: CPU/Unit"

Ipod w/ dim display

My iPod 3rd gen. has a very dim display. Adjust the dimmer setting has no effect.

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd
If you still have the the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

T61 dim display

Dim display, external video ok, lcd comes on when lid is shut & opened then goes dim. I have seen this problem on older laptops with a stuck lid closure switch ... can't find one on this laptop though ... HELP!??

I recently started having the same problem on my three-year old T61. The screen is legible, but definitely dimmer than it used to be. I'm happy to replace something, if I know what the problem is. Sounds like you have already done all the things I would have done. Did you also replace the backlight?

Dim display hp chromebook 14-C001SA

hi, ive got a issue with a dim display on my hp 14 chromebook 14-C001SA, the output to my tv via hdmi is fine,ive changed the screen and the ram and still the same issue, any ideas im so confused to what the problem is, any help would be much appreciated, many thanks

Hey @teddyredhead ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the display on your Chromebook is dim but works fine via HDMI.
Try performing a hard reset on your Chromebook by pressing Refresh+Power.
If that doesnt help try Performing a System Recovery on Your HP Chromebook (Chrome OS).
If neither of those help I would suggest contacting HP Phone Support for service options as the inverter or motherboard may be having an issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

I conditionalized my graphics in FM to not display before linking; still have space where graphic wa

Using FM10/RH9/Windows XP
I conditionalized all of my graphics in Framemaker to not display before I linked the book file to RH. On the Conversion Settings dialog box in the FrameMaker Settings list box, I selected Other Settings and then selected the Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression so that the anchored frame would not display as an empty line in RH. But the space is there. This used to work fine.
In FM, all images are wrapped in a fig tag. Everything looks great in FM, great in RH, not so great in FlashHelp.
Thanks for the help.

We are using conditional text to put a BETA watermark in the left margin of the doc. No other conditions than that.
I actually used FrameSLT to write a script to conditionalize the graphics. This is the expression I used:
self::Fig[image]
By text markers, do you mean the Show Condition Indicators on the Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog box?

Personas search doesn't do an exact search. a search for 'ween' results in 'halloween' personas to display before 'ween'

if it does partial matching and exact matching, then the problem is it doesn't give priority to exact matches to be displayed before partial matches.

I experienced the same issue. Reproduction steps: Launch Spotify version 1.0.11.134.ga37df67bSearch for songs with the word "Jamaica"Sort results by artistLook for songs titled "Jamaica" by Van She. There should be nine matches. Eight are on a remix album (spotify:album:1zEjRI2Uwr8IZeIWXcMkHI). One is the original version on spotify:album:3RZZDujgW2di8STpTT7JAE.Observe that the search results only contain three results by Van She. The other six songs are nowhere in the search results.I wonder how many other searches have failed me in the past. I'll never know.
