Help - Screen brightness is very low

Hello all,
I am having problems with my touchsmart. The screen brightness is very low and I can't see anything unless I have a flashlight. The brightness is already at 100%. A couple of things I noticed. When my computer is in sleep mode and I move my mouse to get out of it, the screen will appear normally for a few seconds. When I changed the screen resolution to 800x600 and click apply, the screen brightness will go back to normal for a few seconds and when I revert it back to 1600x900, it will go to normal again for a few seconds. Here are my specs:
HP Touchsmart 300-1025
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 240e Processor 2.80 GHz
System: Windows 7 64-bit
THanks for any help.
Tim

Q10 screen brightness is very dim in dark environment

In a dark environment the screen dims so much that reading text on a white background is terrible. Is there a going to be an update to stop the auto brightness feature?

You're not the only one. This is a severe issue that will hamper sales for sure. The BlackBerry Q10's maximum brightness is the DIMMEST out of every other phone on the market today.
IN FACT, the maximum brightness on the Q10 is 22% the maximum brightness of the iPhone 5 (in lumens): http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/handys/2013/blackberry-q10-im-test/3/
BlackBerry is already getting a ton of flak for this issue, as many, MANY users are furious. See this comparison with the Bold 9930: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-q10-f272/very-dull-screen-brightness-level-q10-808915/index5...
There is also a few news articles circulating: http://www.newstimeafrica.com/archives/31992
I will be returning my BlackBerry Q10 tomorrow to Verizon Wireless for a full refund. Back to the Bold 9930 until a PROFESSIONAL product is released. I don't even mind straying away from BlackBerry at this point. Not making brightness control available to the consumer is a violation of trust.

HELP!!! Very Low Battery

Whenever I plug my iPod into a computer or charger it says very low battery. But I can keep it in overnight and it will either shut down or still say very low battery. Whats going on?

I took mine to the apple store in Chandler, AZ and they said it's a USB charging issue. The dude had a double cable that he hooked my ipod into. One side was USB the other was Firewire. He got it to work via firewire, but not usb. He said that firewire is soley for charging, not transfering data. It worked for a while. I dropped it off at home before I went to work, once I came back home it did the same thing. I have a friend who has an old firewire cable for his older ipod. I'm going to try that.
So, we have learned that the problem is caused by the battery draining all the way, right?
Apple must know about this since it's a pretty common problem. Why aren't they doing anything about it? If it's a common defect, then why no recall or anything?

6303i Classic : Adjust screen brightness

I have a nokia 6303i and am over the moon with it except for the screen brightness. I've replaced it with my old 6300 and the difference in screen brightness is very significant. Not a vibrant display at all. Is there any way of setting the brightness on the 6303i. Its so dim that I am reconsidering the purchase.

Is there a way to disable light sensor or atleast to increase some brightness. because my phones display is very dim. when i flash a light on light sensor, then the display brightness is normal. i think the ambient light sensor is making my phone brightness very dim for almost all the environments.

How about screen brightness and the update???

I have noticed my screen brightness to be lower after the update...I usally have it set to 50% and after then update was complete the brightness was alot lower on the same setting?? ANother person on mac forums had same issue

Try a different keyboard with your computer if possible. If it woks well, it's a hardware problem.

Z1 screen brightness issue

my xperia Z1 brightness settings is auto brightness… when i switched off the screen for amount of time and switch it on to use my phone .. screen brightness go very high then back to the original state… what is this ,why is this happen and what is the solution please ????

If you have auto brightness active it will change the brightness depending on your surroundings. Before it's able to adjust to the surroundings it might go very bright before it finds the optimal setting for the situation.

ThinkVantage Power Manager - idle time for screen brightness fixed at 1minute (very anoying)

Dear all,
Please consider this problem:
I have just recieved my new X301 which I am very pleased with. However the ThinkVantage Power Manager has a very annoying bug. When creating a custom power scheme everything works as it should (as far as I can tell) except for one thing. Whilst in the "Idle timers" section the first drop down box which allows you to select the "lower display brightness" time in the "battery settings" column I find that I can select any of the options provided, i.e. "After 1 minute", "After 2 minutes", ...etc "After 45 minutes" or "Never". HOWEVER, regardless of what option I select the power manager instantly reverts back to "After 1 minute" as soon as I exit (selecting the "apply" button or the "okay" button does not help). This is incredibly anoying as it means I'm constantly harrased by the sreen changing brighness when I don't want it to OR having to set the "Lower to" setting to the same as the active screen brightness which means there are no power saving advantages at all and I get the anoying flash of the brightness bars on the screen every 60 seconds (that's 60 times in a working hour!)
I have done the following to try to resolve the problem:
1) updated the power manager to the latest verion: 1.54
2) uninstalled the power manager comletely and then reinstalled it, then applied the updates bit by bit and checking the problem at each stage
3) completely restored the entire system to factory setup (formatting the SSD and losing all data and settings...)
NONE of these options have worked. Please note that this is a brand new system out of the box... (cost 2800USD...)
Can anyone please confirm whether or not this happens on their system as well? Is it just me or is this a global problem? I've called the Lenovo ThinkVantage call centre in the US but they couldn't help.
Thanks for your help,
AMS.

This is clearly a bug in PM 1.54. I get the same thing with my old X40, Win XP, SP3. I've recently installed PM 1.54, and have the same problem. It has nothing to do with scheduled tasks, as (a) I don't have any (and don't run the Task Scheduler service on my machine), and (b) it happens immediately (ie. edits are lost as soon as I try to apply them).
Does anyone know if there is an official place to log bugs for TP software?
[editM also kicks in with the 'idle' timer while I'm working.I like its functions, but PM does seem buggy]

Hi bunjamin,
just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :
hub >> overflow (bottom right button) >> Settings >> Display and actions >> Return to Default View When Idle >> OFF

HT4623 My ringer and music volume is very low!! The problem just started today can someone help?

Can someone one help me, I just started having problems with my volume. My music and my ringtone are very low!

As a first step, do a hard reset by holding down Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo on the screen. If a red power slider appears on the screen, just ignore it and keep holding the buttons down until you see the Apple logo.

I have a new iphone6+ and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
Please let us know what happens
Thanks

N82 VERY LOW brightness!

hi, I've just purchased a n82 and the first thing I noticed is the display backlight:
it's TOO LOW!
and the strange thing is that it's not a hardware limitation: brightness is software locked to about 50% of its full potential (with brightness setting slider set to 100%)..
it's very very low compared to n95 or n73 or ANY other symbian phone..
I found it being a software limitation because I tried to install SYGIC (which has an "internal" software brightness controller which I think temporarily overrides the system one) and the screen suddenly became VERY VERY BRIGHT.
if I try to open other applications (or just to open menu screen) while sygic is on background the brightness does not change, but when i close sygic everything sadly returns dark!
updating phone FW did not solve this problem.
and no, my phone is not broken: every other n82 I've seen does the same.
any suggestion on how to fix the brightness? maybe a 3rd party patch-app?
brightness limitation is also noticeable activating silent mode on your phone and calling it: the screen starts blinking with FULL brightness.
thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Nokia made the screen not too bright for a reason you know, the battery life.
Feel free to hit the KUDOS button if you think I deserved it.........

My CPU is running very low and so far nothing helped

Hello everybody, first sorry for my bad English (probably)
So, my PC is DELL Inspiron 1570 (CPU - Core 2 Duo SU7300 2x1,3 GHz) when I watch videos on youtube for example, my PC "lags" it's like the processor is 0.3 Ghz its the same feeling. If I watch HD video on full screen its HELL, can't
see anything. The same thing is with gaming and I play (Warcraft III) very old game for this PC. Four years ago, when u bought it, there was n problem, the problems started few months ago, slightly. Don't think I'm somekind of idiot with 1000 running
processes.
Let me explain what have I done so far to fix it, and nothing worked:
Reinstal OS, cleaning the inner of the laptop, Spydoctor check, CCleaner check, DLL fixer check, TuneUp check, Disc defragmentation (deep with restart) Full virus scan, stopped most of the useless Services, took the startup processes to minimum (only the antivirus).
Also i have a cooler fan, my stock fan is forced to blow always (it didn't fix my problems so far) My average CPU temp is 50 and the peak is 60.
I stopped the Speedstep technology.
My HDD is 40% full.
My drivers are up to date, but not the OS updates, for obvious reasons :/ (im Bulgarian)
Even my PS6 lags when i try to work, but last year it was OK.
Also, when i try to watch video or play this old game, there is aaaaa, how to say, mmm "pause" for about a second in intervals of 2-5 minutes. I've never seen something like this, and believe me, I used to fix most of the PCs in the neighbourhood
The PC is 4 years old, and the first reinstall i made was 7-8 months ago, when the problems started, and i was forced to do it... but as i said it doesn't help.
Is it hardware issue? Can you guys help me to diagnose this crap, or even better to fix it :). I'll be very gracefull, if we manage to solve it. I can't afford a new one :s.
Last words: It's like the PC's parameters are very very very low, and tried everything to boost it up.
P.S: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Hi,
Did this occur on just when you attempt to watch something and paly old games? How about the new game and other behaviour?
Because you have already reinstalled operating system and trie many other solution. I suspect it might be caused by video card.
It's recommend you take a hardware test for your computer.

Help with iPOD... Please wait... battery very low

Hi everyone! i just got this message tonight on my iPod... It has a sad face, with an exclamation point, and it keeps going to a darker screen saying Please wait... battery very low... iTunes does not open, either, when the iPod is connected to the computer, as usual.
