Iphone 6 screen brightness problem

hello everybody, i have iphone 6 which i am using now for 2 and half months. just from 1 week ago my iPhone 6 screen suddenly goes dim when I'm using it in strong sunny light. i always set my auto brightness on and when i use my phone in sunny light at roof first it gives clear and bright display then suddenly screen goes dim and when i try to maximise brightness level nothing happens it still remains dim and i notice my screen becomes very warm .. then i turn off my phone for few minutes and turn it on the screen brightness again works fine...and auto brightness also works normal..i have noticed this problem 2,3 times whenever i use it in sunny light at the roof..plz give me any suggestion....
iphone 6, 64 gb model iOS version 8.1.2

It's a google maps app setting. I agree, it is highly annoying and I have no idea why they put that setting into the app without the option to change it. I did a 600 mile trip with google maps and the auto screen dimming feature was awful.

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Screen Brightness Problem

I have two Nokia Lumia 1520.
Both of them have the same problem. I will explain the problem to you in detail and before that let me assure you I am a Windows Phone long time user , have been part of the development , developed several apps for the platform and I have used Lumia 800 , 720 , 920 , 925 and now 1520. So I am well aware of all the settings , sunlight readability , automatic brightness etc. This problem is not due to any of these , I can assure you
Now the problem ,
I set the automatic brightness option OFF
I move the brightness to HIGH
Then I lock the phone
When I unlock the phone , the brightness drops by 10% suddenly without any intervention
This problem happens sometime. Some days I see this problem , some days I don't and there are few days where I see this problem very heavily.
I purchased another 1520 and it has the same problem. I am very sure , from my experience that this is a firm ware issue. This is NOT a hardware problem , but a serious problem from your software end. It is prudent that Nokia recognizes this problem and finds a solution to this. Interestingly , I am not the only one who is facing this problem , the whole globe is facing the same problem and for such a pricey phone , this is a frustrating experience - very frustrating. I am sending some links , which will show the problems users are facing:

The phone is rock solid and amazing except this irritating problem.
I have only few days within which I can request a exchange from the merchant. So if any Nokia official can confirm that a software fix is on the way , it would be super helpful
Nokia , please help !

I have Nokia Lumia 1520 Black.
I have also been facing the same problem with screen brightness.
The problem occurs only when the Brightness is in Automatic mode.
--> When the Brightness is set to Automatic mode & take out from dark location to bright location the display turns out to weird grey color.
--> And then if the brightness is set to low, medium or high display comes to normal.
Is this issue related to the hardware or software.
If it is related to the Software will you be able to fix it ? or else How about the replacing with the new one ?
Awaiting for the response.

IPhone Screen Brightness

I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but it seems like different iphones have different screen brightness. I compared my iphone with some iphones in the apple store and the screen was quite brigther at the max setting. Then I compared it with another person's iphone and my screen was slightly dimmer, or more "saturated" in color. Now, I have no problems with my screen. It is bright enough, but it just seems odd that the brightness of the screens is not the same throughout. Are my eyes are playing tricks on me or is this something that some of you have also observed?

Your absolutely right I have also notice several differences in some iPhones. For example, the two that I have purchased a month apart from each other are dramatically different. I don't know how it happened but the one I got at launch had a soft screen that left discoloration marks, similar to a standard LCD screen, when a little finger pressure was applied. The battery life indicator rarely reached full charge. Additionally, the multi-touch grid points can clearly be seen behind black backgrounds i.e. the home screen. I also experienced glitches with the unit from day one. Mainly application hang-ups which left me little choice but a hard reset. A total of 16 hard reset since June 29. After attempting the software update (which I thought would cure all ills) earlier this week, the unit hung up on the boot logo for good. So after 30-days with this unit I returned to the 5th Avenue and asked that the unit be exchanged. They said no, they could only send it out for repair. I simply reasoned that it was illogical to repair an already defective item. The manager agreed and kindly swapped the unit for me.
All I could say is...Wow! I didn't know what I was missing. This new unit has a hard screen with no grid points, battery OK, Apps seem to be more responsive, and no hang-ups so far. Good luck to all.

Screen brightness problem iphone 5 ios 6.1.4

The screen will quasi-randomly go to low brightness and be barely readable - auto-dim or not. I can't usually tell what triggered it - it's just not obvious.
However, I found a repeatable pattern (finally) when using it in a car. If I plug in the usb in a car (say a ford), and use both google maps and play tunes or podcasts simultaneously, the brightness is guaranteed to dim after approximately 20 minutes, on its own, without intervention. The auto-brightness switch has no apparent effect on this.
This is, of course, the most annoying defect, because you're using google maps to watch where the f*@k you're going, and then the lights go out and you're fumbling around with brightness while driving.
Anybody else observe this problem?

It's a google maps app setting. I agree, it is highly annoying and I have no idea why they put that setting into the app without the option to change it. I did a 600 mile trip with google maps and the auto screen dimming feature was awful.

New 24" iMac Screen Brightness Problem

My new 24" iMac's screen is much brighter on the left side than on the right. What should I do? Surely this is not normal for an iMac. Did I get a defective screen? Please help! Thanks in advance!

I got a 24" iMac from Amazon and noticed the screen gradient after a few hours of use. Then I also noticed a stuck pixel in the middle of the screen. I was very bummed and after reading through forums I realized that this seems to be a common problem. I was getting prepared for 3 "geniuses" gathering around my iMac telling me that they can't see anything wrong with it and then me trying to sell it on ebay with a $500 loss.
But things turned out quite different for me.
I took the iMac to one of our 5! Apple Stores here in Houston and explained the gradient and the stuck pixel to the Genius. He turned the computer on, looked at it for about five seconds and says "yep", turns it off and starts typing away on his MacBook. Five minutes later I asked him what he was doing and he goes: "Oh, I'm replacing it." Me: "the screen?" Him:" No, the whole thing!"
I was overjoyed, I almost couldn't believe it.
They brought out a brand new box and I asked him if they would let me transfer my files. They agreed and handed me a FW cable. I checked the new iMac for any screen issues and it looked perfect. So I started the setup and let it do its thing. I decided to go get something eat with my daughter while the iMacs were transferring files. Got back an hour later and it was done. The new iMac started up in my user account and everything. But then I noticed a black dot that almost looked like a dead pixel but it appeared to be right behind the glass and not on the screen itself. I asked another genius (the first one had left) if he could remove the glass and try to clean it. Sure enough he went to get the suction cups and popped off the glass. The black dust speck was visible and easily removed. The glass got re-installed and I packed the new iMac back into the box.
I expressed my feeling of satisfaction and headed home.
At home I thoroughly inspected the screen again and it appears to be nearly perfect.
I'm very happy now. Apple sells their products for a premium and I my case I received premium customer service. Way to go!

IPhone Screen Replacement Problems

So I recently got my screen replaced by JetCity in Chicago for $140... two days later I dropped my phone and the screen shattered again. This time I was determined to change the screen myself. I ordered a new screen, took apart the phone without any kinks, replaced the screen, made sure everything was connected, and put the phone back together. I turned it on and all I saw was a blue vertical bar across the center of the screen, which stayed there for awhile, until the phone finished booting up and then the phone screen went into standby or whatever. I can connect the phone to the computer and it's recognized by iTunes, so everything else in the phone appears to be working except the output to the screen. Thinking it was a faulty replacement screen, I connected my old cracked screen back up, and the same blue bars appeared. I'm not sure what to do at this point. If anyone has any clue as to what the problem is, PLEASE tell me. I've had an iPhone since the original came out and I've been using a $4.99 att goPhone as a replacement and I'm slowly dying while attempting to use it day to day... I'll attach photos of what the phone now looks like when I press the home button to wake it up. Any ideas are MUCH appreciated.

I'll try the firmware restore now, I've tried reseting the connector onto the logic board a few times, and have already tried cleaning the connectors with isopropyll. I figured debris was probably the original cause but since cleaning it didn't work, I just figured the logic board somewhere during the replacement got messed up somehow. I'll probably just do the exchange if the firmware restore doesn't work. Any other soulutions still appreciated.. but I'm pretty sure theres not much else I can do at this point short of getting a replacement.

IPhone 6 Brightness Problem

IPhone screen brightness/colour

So my mate just got a replacement iphone from an apple store, and as i was looking at it next to mine i was amazed at how much brighter and better his screen was. when you open something like the settings page he had a nice bright white background, where as mine is a dullish grey with a kind of pink tinge....i checked the brightness settings, set them both high, low everything, his screen is so much better, is this a common thing or a fault?

The original iPhone has a different tint to the screen then the 3G iPhone. The 3G iPhone has a yellower tint to it but whites are pretty much white, where as the original has a blueish tint to it.

Photoshop CS5 and Windows 8.1 Screen brightness problem????

I just recently updated to Windows 8.1, and now every time I open up Photoshop, my screen automatically lightens, lightening up my work/picture as well. It's annoying as hell. I want the picture to look normal, the way it is supposed to look. When I view the picture through my picture gallery, the picture looks normal and is in normal lighting. But every time, I open it up in Photoshop, my whole screen lightens, including the photo. Like I said, this is extremely annoying and now I can't edit my pictures properly because I can't see it's true colors. Instead, I see a brightened version of it. Is anyone else experiencing this. If so, please help me fix it. Will I have to uninstall Windows 8.1? I researched this and read in several different forums that this isn't an option. And that SUCKS! Please help, if you know how to fix this. Thanks!

I have been using Photoshop on windows for more then 20 years on windows. Windows 95, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7. I never installed Windows ME, Windows Vista or Windows 8. I have never seen any version of Photoshop change a displays brightness or even the image color when scaling or going from float to tab to single image with PS UI to full screen. However I hardly ever use Photoshop in full screen mode.
At different zoom views image may seem like the color change because of the scale of the image or the portion of the image that is on screen or the color of the border around the image.

HP 6735s with Radeon HD 3200 and Windows 7 RC - screen brightness problem (+)

Hello.
I installed a win 7 rc 64x on my HP 6735s and surprised when find brightness control did not work correctly. When i try move brightness slide bar in power plans or in win+x app it slide back to minimum right now. However, sometimes it changes to 70% and brightness change too, but only in this session - logoff, reboot or hibernate - and brightness again goes to minimum.
fn+f keys dont work at all, only in bios stage.
I tried all drivers i can find - ati whql for win7, ati beta, hp keys for vista 64 - its all dont work. What can i do else? HP engineers know about this problem? In ms forums only one solution - hp will release correct drivers before win 7 starts.

Just go to www.hp.com -> Support & Drivers -> Step1: Download drivers and software (and firmware) -> Step 2: 6735s (your laptop model), GO -> Select HP Compaq 6735s Notebook PC -> Microsoft Windows Vista Business (64-bit) -> HP Quick Launch Buttons.
In fact, it's the same version for all Vista Edition, just choose 32-bit or 64-bit.
Regards.

My original iPhones screen had problems, and the apple store replaced the phone for me. However this new phone doesn't connect really at all to the 3G network. My phone automatically goes to GPRS. Is it a defective iPhone?

What do you think?

My friend threw a Straight Talk SIM card in so now it is working on the GSM network. The service isn't as good but at least my phone works again.

N8 Backlight (Brightness) Problem

Hi,
My new N8 (brought last thursday) have backlight (screen brightness) problems, meaning it sometimes automatically gets dimmed just after pressing a key and to resolve this i have to lock/unlock....otherwise it stays dimmed until it gets locked (by locked i mean the screenlock or keypad lock )....is my nokia n8 defective or is there any other solution??..
Also the brightness varies automatically sometimes...idk why this is happening!!!

I know it sounds counter intuitive, but you do need the screen to be brighter when in a bright environment, such as a bright sunny day. Conversely, a bright screen in a dim room would soon start to hurt your eyes and would be unnecessary anyway.
So, the screen dims when in dim light, and brightens when in bright light.
Cheers.

Oh. I see. So I think nothing's wrong with the sensor then.

Uneven screen brightness

Hi everybody. I originally posted this in the Displays section of this forum, but reader traffic is apparently too light there - I got zero replies .
I bought a G5 rev B last week. Everything has been nearly flawless so far, except that I noticed that the leftmost portion of the screen is slightly brighter than the rest of it. Lighting environment is uniform (a dark room), and there are no electromagnetic sources nearby. The effect is most noticeable through light colors (incidentally, the gray brushed-metal window outlines).
I understand that backlight lamps may have varying luminosity, but my question is: does anybody have this effect? Should this be a reason to bother or is this normal for LCDs?
Thanks.

MacAbre,
We had a screen brightness problem with our new (as of May 2005) iMac.
Took it to the Apple Store and 2 days later had a new LCD in it.

Screen Brightness on iphone 4s

My iphone 4s has had a problem after i upgraded to ios 6 , the screen can be at one moment fully readable with the adjustment on brightness set to the middle ,,and then its light is off , checking the brightness its reset itself to no brightness , this happens with the auto switched on or off , i have hard reset the iphone , used itunes to do a restore and have set it up as a new iphone but the problem will not go away. Even on the charger i have the brightness set to mid way and when i take the phone off the charger the brightness bar moves to no brightness , i have one time had the screen on the brightness settings and watched the brightness bar lower to no brightness , this is with the auto brightness option switched off , this also happens with the auto brightness switched on as well.
All these problems happened after upgrading to ios 6 , the one thing i did notice after the first upgrade was the screen itself had a higher brightness than before , now the phone mostly sits at home as i cannot use the iphone as the screen brightness changes so much its become a pain to use , so i have to use my wifes samsung galaxy s3 , any ideas on how to sort this problem out or is it a trip to the apple store to get a new iphone 4s ?

I've upgraded to iOS 7 and I have the issue on an iPhone 4S. I can't remember this happening on iOS 6, but there may have been one or two occassions where it did. So, with regards to Julia98765's post above, in my case it just got a whole lot worse with iOS 7, much as I love everything else about it!
The screen starts off on my normal brightness level (auto is off), and then anywhere between a few minutes to just a few seconds, the screen goes totally dark, like it has been slid to the minimal brightness setting. From then on, the screen fluctuates wildy, sometimes snapping back to full normal brightness, but mostly just dim flickering until it decides to settle down in its dim state, or if it has been locked for a few minutes by which time it is showing normal brightness levels again.
Then the whole thing repeats itself. This happens in one form or another pretty much every time I use my phone! The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring the phone through iTunes so will give that a go and report back soon.
