Issue: HP PAVILION 17-e049wm screen won't stop auto adjusting?

I just purchased a refurbished HP Pavilion. I cannot figure out how to turn off the auto brightness, which is an extremely irritating feature, which to me seems to have no purpose. I have turned it off under advanced power settings, nothing. I have looked in General PC settings but nothing(Windows 8.1) I have done all I can find to do. Please help.
This question was solved.

Hi
Please go through this useful blog post:
http://itmishmash.blogspot.in/2014/04/how-do-i-disable-auto-brightness-on.html?m=1
It is a setting in the AMD Vision Engine Control Center
Control Panel --> Appearance and Personalization -> Screen Resolution -> Advanced Settings
Then Click on the AMD VISION Engine Control Center Tab in the advanced properties window that pops up
Click on the AMD VISION Engine Control Center Button within that tab. Now the AMD Window pops open.
In the AMD Window, in the START screen, under POWER, click the PowerPlay link.
Uncheck the box titled "Enable Vari-Bright" and apply your settings.
If not resolved,
Your latest AMD HD graphics driver, update it:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-127266-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Try the first resolution again,
If not yet resolved, this is the last one I could get-
1. Press Win+R key combo
2. Type and run: services.msc
3. Find "Sensor Monitoring Service"
4. Right click and select properties
5. Select "disable" under "startup type"
6. Finally reboot
Also, turn off adaptive power option in advanced settings for all power plans.

  • Is there any way to fix my iphone 4? The screen won't stop flickering, flipping the screen backwards, and randomly turning the screen white, red or black? HELP!

    I don't know if it's a hardware issue, software issue or what. If replacing the screen or other parts would help? Or if the phone is done for? Just really desperate! I don't know what to do! I haven't ever dropped the phone or had any water damage either... Please help!

    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • Updated to new itunes software and now it won't stop auto-restarting

    Ok, I thought that the problems with version10 software had been fixed, so I went ahead and allowed it to upgrade itself to version 10.5.2.11, Windows7 64-bit version.  And, unfortunately, I see that the problems with version10 have not been resolved. 
    My particular problem is that the itunes constant auto-starts.  With or without my device connected.  The software on my PC just starts up.  If I don't use it at all from when my computer first boots up, then it stays quiet.  But once it has been ran by actually running the program or plugging in a device, you cannot get rid of it.  If you exit the software, it just starts up again a couple seconds later.  You literally have to go into the task manager and shut down the process tree to get it to stop. 
    I have done a full reset on my iPod, before I realized it would do it without any device connected.
    I repaired the iTunes installation.
    I removed & reinstalled the iTunes installation.
    Nothing makes any difference at all.  No settings, nothing. 
    Any suggestions or does a fix already exist for this?
    thanks

    Only thing i suggest as i had similar issues is to restore the phone! using itunes and then continue as a new install and not as a back from..
    Or forget the network and search again!

  • After Update, stacked widget won't stop auto play

    Hello-
    On the home page of a website I am creating, I have used a composition widget to scroll through featured youtube videos. It is designed to auto play, sliding from video to video when you land on the page (stacked option selected), and then stop the auto play when one of the thumbnails is selected.
    Now that I have updated/upgraded, the autoplay will not stop!  Once you select a thumbnail, the auto play just starts again. This is an issue because I need the user to be able to watch the youtube video in the "slide" they have selected.
    Any way around this? or can this be resolved??
    Thanks,
    -Cord

    We broke it in the 2.0 update. 2.1 should go live next week. It includes a fix for this. Until then, I'm sorry but I'm not aware of a workaround.

  • Preset won't stop auto applying

    So as soon as I import my files it automatically applies one of my presets and I have to manually undo them. I don't remember ever setting this up, please help it's driving me crazy!

    Check that you haven't set the preset to be applied during import. Open the import window and look to Develop Settings drop-down men on right side panel named Apply During Import. It should be set to None.

  • ITunes won't stop launching

    I don't know if this happens every time that Apple has a release but it seems like once they have pushed an update my iTunes goes crazy. It won't stop auto launching at will. It's doing this on all profiles and I do not have this in my auto launch application list. I also already tried to run a permission repair and this did nothing as well. The launchd is the parent service and I thought by force killing it, it might fix the problem. Needless to say that killed my session lol. I checked the permissions on the application and my files and the permissions appeared ok. Any suggestions would be helpful.
    P.S. I have deleted the app before and reinstalling it but that doesn't help.

    I believe I found the answer from another post. The post mentioned a Bluetooth connection problem. I looked at my Bluetooth item list and noticed that my discoverable option was on and I turned it off. I also noticed that my Bluetooth connected printer was also unavailable and think that this was the root cause.

    I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...
    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement.

  • Accelerometer issue: screen won't rotate

    After using my brand new Touch for a few hours, with no issues at all, suddenly my screen has stopped rotating in all apps - safari, photos, coverflow, everything. I've reset, restored, nothing. Anyone else have this problem? Any tips?

    No problem. Ok so as of now, this is a 'first'. Unfortunatley becuase it is just that, i'm unable to help you, or advise you on what to do next.
    If I were you, and you have completed the 5 R's on apple.com/support/ipod then i'd sent/take it back. Wow, Week 38, and a defect on GRAND scale (the accelerometer is one of the biggest selling points) - I'll keep you posted, if this issue becomes more-common place.

  • HP Support Assistant pop-up message frozen on my lower right section of the screen, won't click off

    Help! A pop up message from the HP Support Assistant keeps popping up a few minutes after starting up my Pavilion laptop. It won't click off. It asks me if I want to keep Quick Access in my taskbar, but it won't let me pick yes or no or click it off. Help!  
    If I restart my computer, it goes away, but then comes back.
    What can I do? Thanks

    Hello wwheartww,
    If you go into the HP Support Assistant settings you can change how you display notifications on your laptop. Try setting the notifications to task bar only and see if the pop up continues to come up on your screen.

  • [Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

    Hello, my name is Bryan.
    I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
    I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance,
    - Bryan

    It won't even vibrate or do anything, but it's on.

    Hey Nadia232,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4S multi-touch display. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
    Resolution
    If your device is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, try the following steps:
    1. Restart your device
              - Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
              - If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    3. Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    4. If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.
    If your issue is not resolved, please follow the last steps for seeking service options.
    Thanks,

  • HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

    I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27''). 
    Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
    I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

    I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
    Good luck,

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
    First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
    If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart
