IOS4.0: Disable Auto-dimming during iPod playback while charging?

Hi, I use my iPhone with a dashmount holder and an audio connection to my stereo via a cassette adapter. During playback, after roughly a minute, the screen will automatically dim itself (but NOT ever autolock). This means I have to tap the screen once to 'activate it' before I can tap any of the controls. Plus, I cannot clearly see what is on the display anymore when it is dimmed.
This was not the case with 3.0 -> 3.1.3, the screen never dimmed and never autolocked when the phone was playing and charging.
How can I fix this?

I also noticed this. This needs to be addressed, it's really annoying.

  • Plantronics Voyager 855 unable to lower volume during iPod playback

    I wasn't sure if this should be in 3GS or music and video, so I figured I would pick one.
    I have a 3GS 32gb running version 3.1. The problem I have is during iPod playback. My Voyager 855 locks the volume slider on the phone at half way. Using the volume control ON THE HEADSET, I can increase the volume and see the volume slider on the phone increase correspondingly up to the point that the music is very loud. But, when I try to turn the music down, again using the volume controls ON THE HEADSET, the slider on the phone will only go down to the halfway point. I can continue to click the volume down button ON THE HEADSET and the button will beep along with a split second decrease in volume but as soon as the button is released the volume has not changed-it remains at the halfway point. I have this problem with watching youtube videos, everything, EXCEPT for on the rainfall app that I have. I can increase/decrease the volume all the way up or down to the point that I can no longer hear the rain or until it is so loud it hurts my ears. This is very frustrating as I would really like to use this headset while reading and for sleeping, but the iPod function is just too loud. My friend has a 3G 8gb with the exact same headset and he does not have this problem. Is this a feature/limitation of the 3GS?

    Yeah, ha ha, that is my post to Plantronics and their reply to me. I tried what you suggested and no go:
    Un pairing, rebooting, and re pairing did not result in a fix. I still have the same problem. I tried it on my wifes phone-hers is running 3.1.3, and no-go, it had the same problem.
    The volume slider works when the music is not outputed through the headset. When through the iPhone speaker, it works as it should-the volume is able to be adjusted up and down via the slider. Videos behave as they should, any program that needs to be adjusted via the volume slider or the rocker button on the side of the phone works as it should. To expand on what I stated eariler: while using the iPod function I can set the slider all the way to the left (volume 0), press the option for output and set it to the headset. When I do that, there is a split second where you can see the slider move from the left to the middle, and then the slider disappears. It's almost as though the headset is resetting the default/baseline sound level from 0 to 50 (if we are working on a 0-100 scale). I can increase the volume using the buttons on the headset, and I can lower the volume only to half way. If I then select the option for sound output and change it back to speaker, the slider reappears, and it is all the way to the left where I originally set it. This is very frustrating. I can understand Plantronics response. but they are wrong. I can control the loudness of music via the iPod application. I guess maybe this is just a hiccup I will have to deal with. I have placed a request to Apple that they fix this. Maybe in the next upgrade they will, or at least add an option where you can adjust it in the settings.

  • IPhone Reboot during iPod Playback

    Any help? Several times while I was playing my music on my iPhone it has just rebooted on me. I was only playing music, was not using any of the other iPhone applications during the time of reboot. It has only done it during music playback.

    Did you update the firmware recently?
    If so, I'd recommend a complete restore.

  • Disable auto dimming?

    Hi, when I'm using the mbp with the power source, I don't want the brightness of the screen to dim after it's inactive for a few minutes. How do I disable this feature? When I'm recording for like 5 minutes Ican't see a thing no more... which is not so handy
    thx

  • Is there any way to permanently disable(not usable) your iPod touch while you still have it?

    Is there any way to permanently disable Itouch 4th gen

    Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
    But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
    Other than that, no.

  • Crash during audio playback while Analysis Text open

    Using Premiere CC 7.2:
    I just started playing around with 'Analyze Content' option and once that was done, the Analysis Text was populated in the Metadata panel. If I click on any parts of the Analysis Text and hit Play, Premiere CC crashes.  If I play the audio from the source monitor, no issues.
    For now, I'll work around it by playing from the Source Monitor and having the metadata panel up to correct the text.

    Did some more troubleshooting. Try this:
    1. Open project
    2. Select the audio clip so it populates the metadata panel. Don't double click so it populates the Source Monitor.
    3. Select any word from the Analysis Text. Hit Play from Metadata panel. Crash occurs.
    Meanwhile, this will work:
    1. Open project
    2. Double click the audio clip so it populates the metadata panel and Source Monitor.
    3. Select any word from the Analysis Text. Hit Play from Metadata panel. Plays normally.

  • Using Ipod touch while charging

    Is it safe to use ipod touch 4g while it is charging (not through computer).

    thanks . it really helped

  • General iPod question - while charging

    Hi, you may think i'm stupid but i'll ask anyway. I didnt think i could listen to my iPod while it was charging but i just hit eject ipod and the bolt was still there while i was listening. Is it still charging my iPod? How much longer does it take to fully charge my iPod if i do this? (P. S i only got my iPod about 2 weeks ago hence the dumb question)
    Thanks.

    Well, let's figure out the math. You iPod's battery can last about 14 hours fully charged, and takes 4 hours to charge. I don't know the exact formula, but probably about 3 or 4 hours more.
    Edit: I think I know the math. 4/14 = 28.5%, .285 X 4 = 1.14, .14 X 60 = 8.4. So, 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 24 seconds.

  • Ipod use while charging

    Hi,
    Sorry but I couldnt find any topic here that would answer my question. I just wanted to know what powers the ipod when charging( thru PC or in car). Does the ipod use the power source directly or does it still run on battery. If it runs off the battery, whats the minimum battery level after which the charger kicks in and starts charging the battery.
    I am just concerned that if the charge-discharge is happening every minute, it might degrade the battery somehow.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Your iPod is always powered by it's battery. Even if the battery is exhausted before you connect it to charge it will still both play and charge at the same time - it will just take longer to fully charge whilst in use.
    Paul.

  • Xbox 360 Auto-dim every 10 minutes

    Why does my xbox360 auto-dim every 10 minutes, while connected to windows 7 media center?
    I've tried every setting I can think of on the xbox and the win7 box it's connected too... Screen savers, power management settings. It still will randomly dim the screen every 10 minutes while watching anything on mediacenter. Sometimes it'll be fine for hours, and then you change the channel and it'll start happening like clockwork, every 10 minutes...
    Reboot, and sometimes that fixes it, sometimes it doesn't, very frustrating to troubleshoot when I can't reproduce it accurately.
    The dimming I believe is coming from the xbox, but the first thing I did was disable it's screen saver in the system settings of the console.

    1.) Turn on the 360 and load up the Media Center Extender frontend.
    2.) Bring up a command prompt window on the PC and run the regedit utility.
    3.) Browse to the registry location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist
    4.) Make note of the registry user key associated to the Media Center user (probably Mcx1 although I assume there maybe an Mcx2 etc. if you have more that one extender). 
    5.) Browse to the registry location:
    HKEY_USERS\[registry user key from step 4]\Control Panel\Desktop
    6.) Change the ScreenSaveActive key to 0 by double clicking it.
    Same old bug no matter what the xbox is set to it's always on on the PC. I have had to do this on every windows i've set up so far. It works fine in windows 7 too. Very annoying the screensaver dim problem.
    By the way you do have to restart the media centre on the xbox to pick up the registry edit.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • 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?

  • After 1.1.1 update: iPod locks the phone during music playback

    My iPhone gets locked during music playback. It worked fine during the the first few hours after the upgrade but now it stalls or locks up completely. Anyone else experiencing the same?

    First, for safety, do a quick diagnostic of the iPod.
    You can do this by starting a sync as usual with iTunes, then enabling Disk Use. Now, go to Utilities/Disk Utility on your desktop, and perform a diagnostic - it should take only a few seconds. Now, go back onto iTunes and Disable Disk Use (so you can take your cable out).
    As long as you have the iTunes desktop up, click Check for Updates, and then Update. (They update thee software every month.)

  • IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

    iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
    Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

    Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation stutters during music playback

    My ipod touch running 2.2.1 (5H11) which has always had updates etc kept up, has recently started stuttering during song playback. I have reset a couple of times and it plays fine for one song and starts all over again. Any thoughts?

    I am continuing to have problems with getting my ipod touch restored. I am following the directions on the faq's but it seems that my touch continues to freeze up during the restoring nprocess. Itunes continues to sync, but the ipod screen remains unchanged.

  • IPod freezes randomly for a few secs during music playback

    Hi,
    My 'iPod Classic 160' is playing up of late.
    It started a few months ago. During music playback, it would freeze for a 'fraction' of a second randomly but as time has gone on, it freezes for up to 5 secs now. I've used iTunes to 'restore' my iPod and have the latest firmware updates, but still the same problem. I use MP4 for music.
