Iphone 5 Ios 6.1.4 brightness problem

I have a problem with my iphone 5 running ios 6.1.4
Randomly, sometimes when pushing the home button, or pressing the power button, the brightness of the screen goes all the way down to zero (dimly lit).
I have to go in to settings and tap the brightness to get it to back to full.
(the slider bar shows maximum even if the screen is dark - auto brightness is set to off)
I've read many posts about calibrating , using auto-brightness etc., but I have auto-brightness set to OFF, and the brightness set to maximum. That is the way I like it.
So any ideas whats going on? How to fix the issue. I repeat - I do not want to use auto-brightness, I simply want the iphone brightness to be set to maximum, at all times.
Thanks
Mike

Your phone is inappropriately going into pre-autolock dimming.  Try:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both power and home buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Restore in iTunes using a backup
3. Restore in iTunes as new, without a backup.
If #3 doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs warranty service.

    That could be the reason if you have a weak cellular data signal.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.2 sounds problems, how solve it?, iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.2 sounds problems, how solve it?

    The instalation of iOS 6.1.2 make troubles in sound sistem of my iPhone 5 - no specker working.
    To times restoring and no solutions. Please help me, thanks.

    Since upgrading to iOS 6.1.2, I, too, have been having sound problems, but with my earbuds, with one side or the other being either full of static, or only faint sound.  It is inconsistent, and does not always happen.  Also, some songs in various playlists skip randomly, and others cannot be played when selected.  This never happened before this release, and I use the iPod function of my iPhone 4s every day.
    Also, the first time I downloaded an app, the iTunes store recognized my iPhone as a NEW DEVICE downloading an app for the first time, though I have had it since October, synced it many times, and have downloaded many apps.  When I looked at my iTunes Store profile, my purchasing history was empty, even though I have purchased several apps this month.
    iTunes Support says this (the download part) SOMETIMES happens after an update.  I asked them if it happens sometimes or every time, since it has never happened to me before.  No reply.  They did not address the skipping issue, either.
    Anyone else with similar issues?

  • IPhone 4S iOS 8.3 Notification Center Problem

    I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 8.3. I've recently noticed that notifications from apps that I've swiped to access from the Lock Screen continue to appear in the Notifications portion of the Notification Center. For example, if I receive a notification from Gmail's app notifying me of an unread email and I swipe the notification to access Gmail from the Lock Screen, the notification pertaining to the unread email remains visible in the Notification Center despite having already read the email; however, using the Slide To Unlock feature from the Lock Screen and then accessing Gmail from the Home Screen circumvents this problem. I've concluded that it's probably not a problem with Gmail's app as this same scenario has happened with iPhone's Tips app and, as I recall, Facebook's app as well. I also recall recently accessing Gmail via a Banner notification and the notification remained visible in the Notification Center afterwards, so my problem may or may not be isolated to Lock Screen app access. As I would rather not have to clear notifications from the Notification Center after already addressing them from the Lock Screen, has anyone here experienced this problem and, if so, solved it? Please let me know if there is a more appropriate community for me to ask this question. Thanks in advance for your help!

    OP here.  It appears that my problem is in fact isolated to the Gmail app as I've recently noticed that if I leave messages as unread in my inbox, then Gmail notifications accrue in the Notification Center; however, if I keep the unread count at zero, these notifications do not accrue.  This observation solves my problem as I can control the unread count in my inbox; however, please feel free to suggest a more permanent solution if one exists.  Thanks!

  • Solve my odd iPhone 4S iOS 5.1.1 battery problem, please...

    I have a 64gb iPhone 4S on AT&T.  If I charge the phone to 100% and let it sit overnight for 8 hours, the battery only drains to 97%.  Good, right?  Well here's the rub: via casual use throughout the day at work (some texting, Words With Friends, opening NSFW links on the interwebs, and other assorted tomfoolery to help me escape my station in life of being just another brick in the wall), my battery drains faster than a professional athlete's bank account.  I recently did a full restore via iTunes and the problem persists.  Any ideas as to why my seemingly minimal use is so taxing on the battery?  It seems to have gotten progressively worse as the phone gets older. 
    And if this, or a profoundly similar topic, has been posted before, no need to go all Zooey Davechappelle on me and direct my attention to forum rules or other snooty, passive-aggressive stuff.  A link would suffice.

    No need for a link. Just look at the "More Like This" section to the right.

  • Iphone 4s ios 8.1.2 auto brightness auto dim in bright place

    Hi,
    my iphone 4s with ios 8.1.2 got auto brightness problem.
    when i turn on the auto brightness function, it will automatic go to minimum brightness. i try under sunlight also get same result. may i know how to solve? thank you

    Hello there hebe2003,
    It sounds like your Ambient Light Sensor keeps automatically dimming the screen when you have that function turned on, no matter the light conditions. I would recommend these troubleshooting steps from the following article, named:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
    If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
    If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900  mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

    I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
    Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

    Howdy there COUGAR444,
    It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

    I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

    The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
    edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date.  Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
    Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

    Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?
