Ideapad u430p adaptive brightness disable issue

Hello,
I have an issue with turning adaptive brightness(brightness changes depending on what the screen is showing) off for u430p(both plugged and unplugged). I have tried it multiple ways:
From intel control pannel,
From services (disabled sensor)
In power management I even have adaptive brightness off (both plugged and unplugged)
If anyone found a fix for this particular model, please let me know. It drives me insane and don't know why they haven't made this option to be easily disabled.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hi,
I had the same issue, it was present on both linux and windows. The laptop came with BIOS 7CCN34WW and even though it is not mentioned in the changelog, upgrading to 7CCN61WW fixes the problem.

Disable Adaptive Brightness by Group Policy

Hello,
for some windows 8.1 i want to disable adaptive brigtness.
This not a default GPO as i can see :
http://www.eightforums.com/performance-maintenance/21982-lock-brightness-settings.html
Is there a option to only DISABLE this?
When this setting is disabled, the brightness of windows 8.1-tablets are far better than default.
Thx

They won't let me link a hyperlink but if you search for "adaptive brightness service computerstepbystep" then they have a decent article.
In Windows 8 the service has been changed from "Adaptive Brightness" to "Sensor Monitoring Service" and you could change registry settings and/or service startup from group policy.

IdeaPad U510 Windows 8.1 Adaptive Brightness

My adaptive brightness seems to permanently be on. Every time something darker-than-pure-white opens or appears (ie. a dark image on a webpage, tumblr layout) the screen dims in response. I've tried everything from reinstalling/uninstalling the graphics driver, setting it to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, and yes, I've turned off adaptive brightness in all power plans, but the problem still persists. I'm running out of ideas, and I can't seem to find an answered thread specifically for my model. Any ideas? I'll probably end up returning the laptop if the problem can't be solved since it's extremely noticeable (my eyes!).

Anyone got some tips? How can I contact the Lenovo support otherwise?
I am thinking of selling my Lenovo and buying another (definitely non-Lenovo) device. They always have troubles with their drivers (and have poor support)!! Something like that never happened to my Dell notebooks.
Thanks.

It seems like issue with the CUE. But lets work it out step by step:
1) If you haven't configured the Router\CUE interface, please enable it and try to access CUE or check the CUE status from the router CLI. Here is a quick reference guide:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity_exp/rel7_0/install/Install/nuinstall.html
Do not forget to configure static route pointing CUE ip address to the CUE interface.
Let me know whats the output.
2) If nothing helps in step 1, your only option would be to reseat the CUE module and try in a different slot. Make sure to reboot the router. (as I think its not hot swappable)
3) If nothing above helps, then most probably time for RMA.
Apart from above, was it a working setup or you bought it second hand?
Can you also post an output of sh inventory?

Can't turn off auto/adaptive brightness

Adjusts display brightness on its own but can't find a setting under Power Options or the Intel driver to stop it from doing it (two options that were listed by others as solutions to the same problem...where is it hidden on my system?)
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.

I've seen others with 2014 X1's say you can turn off the ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) in the Devices Control Panel under Sensors but there is no such setting for me in my 2015 X1. I looked everywhere I could but can't find that toggle anywhere.
do you need to disable the ALS hardware? is turning off Windows' adaptive brightness good enough? if so, go into power profile(s) and disable it, see guides like

Standby Brightness-dimming issue

Okay so I'm facing their weird issue on my Z1c - the phone's screen goes all bright and then dims down to the original brightness levels when coming on from standby, randomly. Adaptive brightness is off and it is on the default 'White Balance' settings. Anyone else facing this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

That's why I asked you to try on safe mode, if an app is causing this then it will not happen on Safe mode and we'll conclude that it's a 3rd party app. If you wanna exclude all softwate doubts then I'd suggest that you do a PC Companion phone repair, this will do a clean installation of the latest firmware and will also wipe your internal memory. Don't forget to back up your data before you proceed.
Open PC companion -> Support zone -> Phone/tablet software update -> Repair my phone/tablet (blue link style). Follow the steps given, do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

Hibernation Mode - Network Adapter is Disabled (svchost.exe)

Everytime my my x60 goes into hibernation mode, the network adapter is disabled and my internet access obviously interrupted. Sometimes I can just disable/enable the adapter to get going, but many times I have to restart the computer - very annoying, especially when you're working online on something...
Anybody else got an issue with this?

Lenovo Ideapad flex 15d computer power issues

My Ideapad Flex recently developed two issues.
Problem 1: When the computer goes to sleep (via start menu, closing the lid, or being inactive) the hardware turns off completely. In Windows 8.1's event viewer there are two errors that state that power failed unexpectedly.
This has occured with the power adapter connected, and without. It also occured for Ubuntu 14.04.
Problem 2: The computer (when powered down) only occasionally responds to the power button, and fails to boot when it does. I have found a temporary workaround - resetting the BIOS - however that only works one time per reset.

I just purchased a flex 15D a noticed that upon start up, there's lighting behind the keyboard, and (being new to PC laptops) it took me two nights to figure out that the only way to turn it on is Fn+space.

IdeaPad U430p - Win 8.1 watermark SecureBoot

Hi, I bought before +- 14 days notebook IdeaPad U430p Grey
with configurations i5-4200u 8gb ddr3 geforce 730m
in notebook is preinstalled original windows 8 64bit
because i have msdn account i have original iso windows 8.1 64bit
so i after fresh install windows 8 from onerecovery i upgrade with this iso on win 8.1
for installing i used key what provide microsoft and for activation after installing win8.1 i used key from lenovo original windows 8.
activation is okay and windows 8.1 shows that is all okay.
I HAVE ONLY ONE MAIN PROBLEM!
in widnows 8.1 in lower right corner windows shows watermark with text "Not configured SecureBoot"
but i install windows 8 and after upgrade on 8.1 with UEFI in bios and in bios I have "Enabled" SecureBoot.
When I call into microsoft, microsoft support tell me "go to bios and enabled secureboot" but I have enabled this features.
Please help me with this, because this watermark is really annoying, Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

so on this notebook will be able to win8.1 operating system only with this feature turn-off?
Answer: I can't answer your question. In the first place I really would not be installing a beta, RTM, or whatever except the final version on my system. Since you have install it then you must have made the assertion to yourself that you qualify as an IT professional as stated in the warning sign in microsoft's website. And that you are capable of solving whatever problem that you may encounter due to the installation.
What users upgrade via store from 8 on 8.1, what after?
It will have all the users who will upgrade watermark? It's crazy
Answer: You don't understand what that version is for. It is not for everybody yet. So not all user are installing it. I have installed it once in a virtual box but remove it later.
(and turn-off feature SecureBoot in bios this isn't best solution if you understand me what i mean,
because for this must user before installing Win OS set in bios legacy mode too, but in upgrading via store this isn't fresh install OS but only upgrading, so this can not be done)
Answer: You ask for help so I presented you my help. It is not for you to make a criticism out of it but to solve what you have describe. Why would you use legacy mode? Can you explain why? Is it necessary to install Win 8.1 preview through the store? I install mine not through the store. I do not have the time to make any explanation for every suggestion made. If you want a full understanding go to some institution or forum that provide such a service.

Sender JDBC Adapter Select/Update Issue

Dear All,
We have configured a Sender JDBC Adapter to Poll data from the DB2 tables. It is working fine and both the select and the update queries written are also getting properly executed and are changing the status of the flag from Y to N once read from database.
In the communication channel ->
select * from <table> where flag = 'N'.
update <table> set flag = 'Y' where flag = 'N'.
But I have one doubt after executing the select query some new data comes into the table of status flag 'N"., then will this unselected data will also be updated to 'Y' .
The question is while we do a select and update from XI on the DB table and at the same time there is an insert happening into the table from the other end how will the adpater behave in this case.Will it result in missing of some records during next select/update transaction from XI..
Your inputs will be appreciated.
Regards
Amit

Ideapad s405 screen brightness issue on win8

I read about issues after downgrading to windows7, i have the same issue with light control on windows 8, what is the solution to that problem?

hi attilakk,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Issue is "Only high and low option for Brightness" This only show under WIndows 7 and can be fix by reverting to Windows 8.
You said you have WIndows 8, can you share if the same is happening or what exactly is happening in your system.
Thanks

[Solved] Screen brightness control issue

I just purchased a Lenovo T410s. I have set it up to only use Nvidia and only give visibility to the Nvidia GPU. The problem I have is once X starts I can no longer change the screen brightness with the function keys. I'm using KDE and it registers that I'm trying to change the brightness but the screen never changes. If switch to run level 3 I can use the function keys to change the brightness without an issue. I'm confused at what is causing the issue. I'm not sure what information you need to help me, but I will give you what you need if you tell me.
EDIT: I discovered on the Nvidia forums that the backlight function was disabled in the drivers for this model. Apparently when in use it causes squealing sounds.

I did some more testing and here is what I found out. I switched my laptop to use integrated GPU only, so that means Arch sees my GPU as the Intel HD. Now I can boot X and control my brightness with the functions keys. Has anyone else run into the problem with Nvidia drivers and the Quatro NVS 3100m GPU?

Windows 8.1 - Brightness control issues!!

Microsoft - Nowhere in all the communications you've posted here have you even remotely taken responsibility for this bug! The first time we go to adjust the screen brightness after updating to 8.1 - the screen goes down to it's minimum brightness setting
and will not adjust, no matter how we try to adjust it. My P500 Lenovo had the same issue. I talked with Lenovo support and they knew the driver that was included in your 8.1 update was the problem. We tried installing an 8.0 driver & a driver
from the Intel site to no avail. Lenovo support finally installed a basic Microsoft driver which solved the issue! My question - at this point - is, if it's obviously a problem related to the 8.1 update - when can we expect a fix? When 8.2 comes up - do we
dare assume that the driver in it will be solving the problem - or will it reintroduce it? As customers who purchase your product - we expect better
communication regarding issues that crop up. We don't expect perfection - just
integrity!

I shall suggest you to uninstall and reinstall graphic driver.
Intel has already come out with graphic driver designed for Windows 8.1 32bit and Windows 8.1 64bit.It is available in Lenovo's website and it is applicable for P500.There is absolutely no need to install the graphic card driver made for windows 8
when the driver for windows 8.1 is available in manufacturer's site.

T400 screen brightness standby issue

When my T400 comes out of standby the screen brightness goes to 100% even though the Power Scheme prior to standby was lower than 100%. This causes me to have to manually adjust the screen brightness. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? I have the ATI video adapter and I am making power setting changes via the Power Manager.

Is everyone running XP with this issue? I had the same problem when I got my brand new T400 and after 5 calls to tech support for this and quite a few other nuisance problems they gave me an RMA to send the thing back after I reloaded with an XP set they had sent me thinking I had received a bad copy of XP. Day before I was going to send it back I went to reload it again to get my info I had loaded off. Well for whatever reason I chose to load it with the Vista recovery discs instead and it took care of all of the nuisance problems!! I have no idea why but its not an issue now, all I can figure is whatever software is not checking the brightness when it comes back from standby doesn't properly run with XP as with my few other nuisance issues. I'm loading 7 this weekend, will update to let everyone know how it works.
(Other issues included the LAN/Bluetooh icons in the task bar next to the clock-even after telling them to "go away" in the properties they failed to do so. Sometimes the screen wouldn't even come back on after coming out of standby so I'd have to blindly shut it down and reboot. Wireless connection was sporatic and fingerprint softwarewas finicky in not letting me load fingerprints(that one was a driver update issue though)-Like I said, Vista took care of all of it, not that I'm endorsing Vista because I do bellieve Vista was a total failed attempt at an OS by Microsoft and was released WELL before it was ready and properly tested. My guess is the software/drivers for all the hardware with issues were developed under vista so it'll work with XP but doesn't like to and will be finicky....)
