Screen brightness too high

Hello, I have had my first blackberry for a few days now, and I'm in trouble with the screen brightness. I have sensitives eyes ad even at the lowest settings, the brightness is hurtful in dark rooms. It does not seem to be a bug nor a material issue specific to my phone, as most new phones and computers are also too bright. Therefore my question is is there a possibility to lower the screen brightness under the OS preset limit ?I am a developper so even a programmatical solution would be nice. I have only seen outdated posts about this issue on the Internet, with no solution, maybe the problem could be solved in 10.3.2 or in the next versions ? Thanks a lot

Okay thanks, it is posted there : http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Native-Development/Screen-brightness-too-high/td-p/3122861. I also thought about always putting a semi-opaque frame on the foreground, as the android ight filter apps usually do.

After Mavericks, at start up, initial screen brightness too high and starting sound too loud, different than I left on previous shutdown. Didn't happen before the update.

I've tried sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80 for the sound, but it works just once... returns next startup's.

The first thing to do is use smartctl to test the drive. Start with the short test ( smartctl -t short /dev/sdX ), and if it passes run the long test ( ... -t long ... ).

Accidentally set my screen resolution too high

I was playing around with screen resolutions and accidentally set one too high and now every time i load up my Computer, it says 'Input not supported' , please help me.

It would help greatly if you:
A) Identified the installed operating system
B) Identified your HP desktop PC. (look on the service tag. Post the complete p/n
If your OS is Windows 7, start the operating system in Safe Mode. Press the power button and before Windows begins to boot, start tapping the F8 key. Choose Safe Mode. In Safe Mode click on the start button and type msconfig in the search all programs and files box . Click on the msconfig icon that appears above to invoke msconfig. In the msconfig dialog choose the Boot tab as in the following image. In Boot options put a tick inside the box to the left of base video, then click on apply and OK. Restart your PC and right-click an unused area on the desktop and set your resolution. Choose the recommended resolution. After you do that, go back to the msconfig and remove the tick mark in the Boot options -->Base video, click on OK and restart your PC. All should be back to normal again.
The desktop I am using has a dual display setup, so yours will appear a bit differently. the operatng system will recommend an optimal resolution and designate it as recommended.
Best regards,
erico

Adjust brightness (too high)

Hello there!
I am big fan of Nokia since 2008, all the family uses it's smartphones (n82 > n78 > n8) and I haven't any troubles with the screen till last update of nokia n8 (belle), the brightness just to high to me. For example, on android 7 inch tablet with IPS display I can adjust brightness to the lowest point (it's about 4-7 kd/m2) so it would be look like backlight off at all, great for me.
Now for the question: as I presume, on Nokia lumia 920 the lowest point of screen brightness is "low" (which is about 60 kd/m2), is there any options to make it lower? Like 14 kd/m2? Or it's just impossible for Nokia's amoled screens?

Reduce screen brightness too soon on Highest performance setting

I think this issue is a fairly new one. I'm on Tiger with the latest security updates. But I want the screen brightness reduced, like an hour after no activity, not one minute while I'm on power adapter. Every setting is set like I want, Highest, etc for when it is on power. I can understand on battery I want it to be aggressive on saving power, but for AC ...

Hmmm, just checked on my iMac, and that is the file that holds that setting... does that stay unchecked between reboots?
That file also would seem to hold the Settings to use on Batery, but I wonder if Battery Models also have some other file that might affect it... can't tell here.
I wonder where the Performance settings all are?

[SOLVED] screen brightness too low when switching tty

I have autologin enabled in LightDM, so when I boot I am taken to my MATE desktop automatically. This happens in the default tty (tty1).
Sometimes I want to switch to a different virtual terminal (e.g., by pressing Control+Alt+F2) without ending my session in tty1. However, most of the time when I do this I find that the brightness in the new tty (e.g., tty2) is so low that I can hardly see the login prompt. When I switch back to tty1 the brightness in the X session is fine. Switching back to tty2 I see that it is still dim. Hitting either the brightness-up or the brightness-down (!?) key on the laptop causes the brightness in tty2 to jump to normal.
Does anyone know how to fix this so that when I switch to a different tty the brightness is at a reasonable level right away? I am on a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 (no Nvidia, just integrated Intel graphics) in case it matters.

As an experiment, I logged in to non-graphic mode in tty1 (by adding "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" to grub2's kernel line), then tried switching ttys. No brightness problems!
As another experiment, I allowed regular boot to my desktop in tty1 (LightDM -> MATE autologin) but then got out of graphical mode by opening a terminal emulator and typing "sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target". Once I had a cli in tty1 I then tried switching ttys. Again, no brightness problems.
I can conclude that when switching tty's, the new tty is too dim only if I have a graphical session running in tty1. Therefore, I don't think this is a kernel problem. Seems that something related to lightDM or X or MATE running in tty1 is causing the problem.

Screen resolution too high - text is tiny - how to change?

I'm a newbie to Audition, and spent 2.5 hours this weekend editing a 6.5 minute talk. Ended up with a massive headache, largely because of the small size of the text in the screen menues, etc.
Anyone know how to change these? I Use a MS Surface 3 pro with very high resolution (21160*1440) with a 22" screen set at 1680 *1050 (max for the screen) .
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You don't mention which version of Audition you are using, but support for High DPI displays was added to Audition and other Adobe applications last year. This adds support for icon and text scaling, which is configured at the OS level. Found a good overview and write-up about this at How to Make the Windows Desktop Work Well on High-DPI Displays and Fix Blurry Fonts but the quick-and-dirty method is to right-click on your Windows desktop and choose Screen Resolution then click on the item Make text and other items larger or smaller. There, you can select scaling at 125% and 150%. You'll probably need to log back into your Windows account for the change to take effect.

Minimal brightness too high on x220

After installing Windows 8 x64 and latest video drivers from Lenovo, the minimal brightness became much higher then it was in Windows 7. Now at "0" value brightness is the same that it was on "3" or "4" in Win7. Is there any way to fix it?

Nobody have this issue or nobody knows the way to fix it?

Suggestion to iPad developer: the screen is too bright for an E-reader

Hi,
I have been using kindle DX for reading e-book and newspapers for a year. I bought the iPad and have been using for a week. iPad has many advantages over Kindle in many ways(very fast, zoom-in zoom out, great apps for editing PDF, and many more) however, it lacks the appreciation of the display for reading. *_The brightness is quite too high(even when you try to lower the brightness setting to lowest). When I read WSJ or PDF for a while, my eyes go very very tired. It is fine in the apps like Kindle or iBook or GoodReader where you can adjust the brightness even more._* So you could read with the same light intensity like the kindle or other e-reader. However, it is still very bright in safari or WSJ apps where you cannot adjust even further. You cannot use iPad to read something in the dim light environment with this lowest brightness adjustment.
I made an appointment to the Apple store to discuss about this issue. I also compare the brightness adjustment to MacBook and other device. You can eventually dim the screen even more and more for other device except the iPad. You could also dim the brightness even more for an iPhone. The technical support told me to send a suggestion to the iPad developer so that they can do the adjustment for the next OS Update.
*My advice is to increase the range on the dimmer side of the brightness. You could also add the option to adjust for the contrast. In this case, you will have low light coming out of the device and the character is still crisp by lowering the brightness and increase the contrast of the display. The eye strain problem will be significantly reduced.*
Many of my e-reader colleagues also complain about this issues. So I hope you take this into serious consideration. Please Adjust the brightness range and everything else should be perfect. You could even think about the display like Mirasol display for the next generation of iPad as an option for display rather than only IPS LCD. This will help the e-reader oriented like me to stick with iPad forever
I strongly hope there will be some of these changes in the new OS update. Since you guys want the iPad to be one of the option of an e-reader, then the display and the brightness is very very very important.

I adjusted everything including turning the auto brightness off( like I did for my iPhone ). And you could see that the lowest brightness of the iPhone is dimmer than the lowest level for the iPad. I have no problem reading on the iPhone without that level of brightness either. This is the only reason that I don't like about iPad and the small adjustment should satisfy all my need. I don't see any reasons for returning it.
Moreover, the eyes sensitivity to the light level or brightness for each people is different. It's correct that you and some of my friends do not have difficulty reading with this level of brightness. But some of my friends and I are having this problem in safari and the apps that do not have further brightness adjustment.
The best way for me to avoid this problem now it to alight the iPad 75-90 degree to vertical so that the light does not come directly to my eyes when I use the apps that does not contain brightness adjustment. This way reduces the light traveling to the eyes from iPad. The brightness goes down a bit more. That is why I said just reduce the lowest level to a bit more then everything is great.
I also try the inpicio anti glare to reduce the light from reflection but this does not help either because it produces bad image output and does not filter any light out.

Definitly sounds like a physical issue with the phone. I suggest you go to your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

Hello, my Ipod bottom of the screen has a problem. It is too high. Is this normal?

What does "the screen is a bit crash" mean? If the screen is cracked you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Although the broken screen is not covered by warranty, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise, Apple will charge $99, $149 or $199 for the exchange, depending upon the capacity.
A third-party place like the following may be less expenisve but you will lose the remainder of the warranty.

Satellite P300-P19: screen is too bright

Hi all
I have a P300-P19, the screen is so bright, its set at LEVEL 17.
I have to use FN + F6 to drop it to LEVEL 1 constantly.
Does anyone know how to set it so it stays at the LEVEL you want ?
And is there any other options for contract etc etc
Its even to bright at LEVEL 1 but i do hate bright lights... :-)
Thanks in advance..
Rob

LOL :D if you hate true bright screens so why you buy devices which support such True Bright screen technology?
I love such screens I like it in the LCD TV, external PC LCD and in notebooks...
However, if you want to use constantly low screen brightness then I recommend changing the screen brightness option in the Vista Power settings.
Check the forums HowTo area.
There you can find nice document called How to handle the power managment features of Windows Vista?
Bye

Adjust screen brightness Windows 10

I have a HP Spectre x360 - 13-4009na and have just upgraded to Windows 10. The problem is I cannot alter the screen brightness using any of the usual methods. - The fn buttons do not work- There is no brightness control displayed on the Control panel - Power Options- The Calibrate Display Colour method fails with an error while "... preparing to calibrate ..." - "Unspecified error". So my display is set to high brightness and I cannot change it. Please can someone help? Thanks, Paul.

Omg, I had the same issue too. I kinda tried changing it with the AMD driver (that I had to re-install after the Windows 10 update) it was pre-installed when I first got my laptop, anyway besides the point, I used it and it kinda changes your brightness, but not the same way as using your brightness control buttons to. I hope that helps much, It didnt exsctly satisfy me. But the AMD driver (if you have a laptop) is a great driver that runs your graphics really smoothly
