N82 VERY LOW brightness!

hi, I've just purchased a n82 and the first thing I noticed is the display backlight:
it's TOO LOW!
and the strange thing is that it's not a hardware limitation: brightness is software locked to about 50% of its full potential (with brightness setting slider set to 100%)..
it's very very low compared to n95 or n73 or ANY other symbian phone..
I found it being a software limitation because I tried to install SYGIC (which has an "internal" software brightness controller which I think temporarily overrides the system one) and the screen suddenly became VERY VERY BRIGHT.
if I try to open other applications (or just to open menu screen) while sygic is on background the brightness does not change, but when i close sygic everything sadly returns dark!
updating phone FW did not solve this problem.
and no, my phone is not broken: every other n82 I've seen does the same.
any suggestion on how to fix the brightness? maybe a 3rd party patch-app?
brightness limitation is also noticeable activating silent mode on your phone and calling it: the screen starts blinking with FULL brightness.
thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Nokia made the screen not too bright for a reason you know, the battery life.
Feel free to hit the KUDOS button if you think I deserved it.........

  • Help - Screen brightness is very low

    Hello all,
    I am having problems with my touchsmart.  The screen brightness is very low and I can't see anything unless I have a flashlight.  The brightness is already at 100%.  A couple of things I noticed.  When my computer is in sleep mode and I move my mouse to get out of it, the screen will appear normally for a few seconds.  When I changed the screen resolution to 800x600 and click apply, the screen brightness will go back to normal for a few seconds and when I revert it back to 1600x900, it will go to normal again for a few seconds.  Here are my specs:
    HP Touchsmart 300-1025
    Processor:  AMD Athlon II X2 240e Processor 2.80 GHz
    System:  Windows 7 64-bit
    THanks for any help.

  • Lighting is very low on restore

    when i open my macbookpro after it being closed, the screen brightness is always very low and I have to turn it up. someone recently suggested doing some kind of reset but i also remember someone pointing out that this may be due to the screen hitting the low brightness screen when it is closed.
    does anyone know the deal with this?
    TIA

    Could be a sign of bad things to come or simple reset.  Try resetting your pram.   That should take care of it.  Or it could be inverter on back panel going on you.  Depending on the severity of what you speak of. 
    To reset pram
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    I have fixed it believe it or not?
    What I'm about to say is totally crazy and no one should try this if they have the same problem!
    Ok are you ready?
    As I got to a stage where I almost want to smash my phone, somehow an angel in me came out and said "why don't you just tap it against the table first before you hammer it?". So I did just that and guess what? God must have spare my N82 from the devil in me because it is actually working fine now!
    I told you it's crazy... and please don't ask me how hard I tap it?

  • Earpiece volume very very low.

    Hi all,
    I got my N82 3 weeks ago and initially the earpiece volume was working fine. By that I meant I was able to hear things ok even when the volume is only halfway up and I'm in a busy public place like a train station.
    However I've notice lately that the earpiece volume is very very very low, almost unhearable even when I turned the volume all the way up!
    So basically I'm wondering if anyone has came across this issue and how you've dealt with it? It doesn't have to be an N82, any mobile will do, just as long as you are able to get the earpiece volume to work as per normal again...
    Hoping to get some response... it's driving me crazy not being able to hear someone properly!!!
    Thanks in advance.

  • 5800 low brightness screen

    My 5800, bought last January, presented the well known stripes-on-the-screen problem. I've got it repaired in a Nokia care point but the new display has a lower brightness, yellowish tones and uneven luminosity (darker in the very top section, lighter in the bottom area). I've noticed these changes at the first power-on after the repair but, to be sure, I've put it side-by-side with another 5800 I had and the first impression has been confirmed. I suspect the display has been replaced with a refurbished or a defective one.
    I've asked the Nokia care point to get me a good-enough display, leaving again my 5800. They've called me back after 6 hours telling that the screen had been changed again (I don't believe them) but the situation was exactly the same because:
    "the most recent 5800 displays act like this; they are all the same and less bright than the ones used by Nokia before".
    This would be the first time display technology evolves toward lower quality. Is there anybody who can confirm or deny the Nokia carepoint thesis? Any suggestion on how I can get an equal or better 5800 after the in-warranty repair? Thanks a lot. Antonio

    Confirmed by another Nokia point. The new 5800 displays are less bright than the previous ones, may be for longer battery use. This is a shame for a full display phone that I use also as a navigator. My next one will not be a Nokia, for sure.

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s   very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
    If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
    Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
    Good luck

  • How do I fix my ipod classic that says very low batter after I have charged it and the problem persists?

    I have an Ipod video 30g that says Please wait very low battery. I charged it for about a day and the problem persists. I've tried using some solutions on the internet and none of them worked including: holding the menu and select, holding select and play to put it in disk mode with no avail. Is there anyone who can help me!!!

    Have you read this post written by another forum member?
    The Sad iPod icon.
    However, as your iPod was purchased on Boxing Day, why not get it serviced under the warranty?
    You can arrange online service here.

    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

    Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
    On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
    (I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

    Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

  • DVR replay on the non-DVR STB - very low quality

    I started recording a football game on the DVR, and about 45 minutes later I began to watch it on the non-DVR setbox in another room.  The quality is very low: every 10 seconds (almost exactly) the picture gets very choppy, stops and starts.
    On the DVR itself, the replay is good.
    Is this a known problem with the STB?

    Have you attempted re-booting both STBs? 

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

    I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
    But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
    You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.
