Screen doesnt dim on its own?

Anyone else have this problem? I have it set to turn off after 15 seconds, but it never turns off. It will stay on indefinitely until I press the power button to turn it off myself.

Nope, I double checked that option, and it is not selected. I've never charged it with a PC anyhow, and it was off the wall charger when doing this (well, it does it anytime I don't manually turn the screen off)
Cody21 - I did try clearing the cache and that didn't work. I have a feeling it's ADW.Launcher EX. I had problems with the free version but hoped the paid version wouldn't have any
My phone's glitching as well, and the unlock screen almost always takes 2-3 "swipes" to actually unlock it. I'd be willing to bet it's the ADW.Launcher EX doing it.

  • Screen brightness changes on its own

    My laptop screen brightened all of a sudden on its own, 1/3 - 1/2 EV. I was editing a photo in PSCS3 when this occurred, the photo was from Lightroom. The brightness change effected everything, not just PS. For the past several days I've been editing photos in LR & thought I had the tone adjusted pretty good on all the photos. Today when I looked at the photos again, I felt like I needed to brighten then up some. After making exposure/brightness/tonecurve adj. to the photos today, I needed to do editing in PS, and as I was editing, the screen made a brightness change. I recalibrated the monitor & the brightness stayed the same. How could the previous monitor profile be turned off & all of a sudden turn itself back on. Windows Vista on Sony Vaio laptop (yeah I know I need something besides a laptop screen to edit photos). This probably has nothing to do with PS but I thought I would try on this forum as it's usually very helpful. Perhaps you can suggest another forum that might help. Thanks!

    Sometimes a power management scheme will kick in on a laptop and change the monitor brightness. When editing you should always work with external power connected and all settings set at Never for that state.
    And, if you're serious, get a good monitor!

  • Brightness dims on its own

    A couple of times daily my brightness goes all of the way down. It's set on auto brightness which does not correct it. I have to manually reposition the brightness.

    If its on Auto then it will adjust the brightness based on the light level detected by the ambient light sensor near the top of the screen. If anything (like your finger or your case) blocks the sensor the light level will drop.

  • Screen Resolution Changes on its Own

    Can someone explain to me, why when I turned on my computer earlier today, the resolution was changed? I was using my MacBook just one hour ago, when everything appeared fine. I did not adjust Systems Preferences, but nevertheless, upon re-booting, it "decided" to change the appearance of the screen. I have since readjusted things, but am curious how this took place, and if it means anything ominous.
    Thank you,
    John

  • Is it normal for your iPod touch 4th gen screen to come off on its own?

    So I have had my iPod touch for a while now. I understand that things get old and fall apart eventually, but what confuses me is how does the screen come off on its own? I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was reading a book that some light was able to come out from the top area of the screen where the camera is located. I started to investigate about it and turns out the the top area of the iPod had came loose. A few days later I noticed that it started to get worse. It started to allow me to see the components on the inside. Then my screen turned off not allowing my to turn it back on when I later found out that one of the cables that connect the screen had came lose and popped off the connection for it. What should I do? Please help me and tell me what I should do to fix it. 

    "Do you have any duct tape?" Seriously, no it shouldn't come off, contact your Apple genius bar and get it fixed. Good luck.

  • I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. The email app is not working. The screen shows empty email box, then closes on its own. I have tried closing the app, turning ipad on and off and reset to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    I Have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. When I open email, the email isn't there. I have tried closing the app, turning off the ipad and resetting the iPad. None of that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

    So the app is opening to a white screen then closing on its own?  If you have deleted your email accounts & the app is still crashing then I would try resetting all settings (without deleting data).
    Did you reboot the iPad after removing the email accounts?  If not, try that first holding the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears, then release & once booted back up, try opening the mail app again. 
    The problem may have started because one of your email messages might have been corrupt or had a corrupt attachment.  If you can access it from a computer, sign into your email & see if there are any that can't be opened or produce errors opening.  If so, delete the offending emails then try adding the account back to the iPad.

  • I can synx my ipad to a diffrent computer, how can i sync it if it doesnt do it on its own

    i Cant sync my ipad to a "new" computer, if it doesnt sync on its own how can i make it?

    You can only sync with one computer. If you are moving to a new computer backup your iTunes media folder and transfer to the new machine.

  • N8's screen doesnt turn off even after locking!

    I dont know if someone has reported it here but will like to report it here.
    Sometimes, when i restarts my N8 and lock it, screen doesnt dim or turn off, though screen is locked and there is key symbol on the top. To get rid of this I have to restart phone and how many time, that depends on our luck! This is serious man, I cant keep my screen always on! Expecting quick solution from Nokia. Does anyone here is having same problem? And does anyone has better solution?

    thanks to G8ZoST :
    i've also having the same problem..  but now the problem was clear by G8ZoST idea.. i agree G8ZoST say the correct solution for this problem.. thankz lot

  • Screen dims to dark on its own during use. Software/hardware problem?

    Since I upgraded to 10.4.10 and had a new hard drive (WDC WD1200BEVE-11UYT0) and a new memory chip installed I have been having a problem with the screen suddenly dimming, most times dimming to the lowest setting. When this happens the 'sun' screen brightness icon appears and you can see the level brightness indicator bars drop. This happens w/o any regular time interval, sometimes it seems vibration related and sometimes not. After it occurs, I can sometimes bring the brightness level back up and it will hold, other times it falls back down again and repeated attempts to bring it up will not work; if you give it some time to rest, 30 sec. to 2 mins, then it will work. I have no idea what is going on. Is there a setting I need to adjust, is it a glitch and it needs a software patch, is something/a connection loose in the computer? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks

  • HT203171 Macbook pro trackpad not responsive, opening apps on it's own, moving screens on its own, help!

    Hi, I've been having a few issues with the trackpad, mostly with clicks lately. Today the cursor went rogue and started opening all sorts of programs and files, moving to different screens and opening things there, generally going crazy and not responding when I tried to use it. I rebooted several times before it decided to stop on its own -- I'm not sure the reboot had anything to do with it. I took a video of it with my ipod, but it's too big to upload here. Any suggestions before I open cocktail and and run repairs? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    My Macbook Pro started to experience the very same erratic behaviour. At first I noticed that it would happen if the MBP was on a flat tabletop surface. If I placed the MBP on my lap, the magic pad seemed to operate properly. It was very consistent. Since this is a capacitative surface, I tried an experiment. I placed the MBP on a tabletop surface where it's exhibited the malfunction. Then I used my other hand on the flat surface areas near the magic pad while using my right hand to manipulate the cursor. It appears that touching the casing with my other hand seemed to calm down the erratic behaviour. When I used only one hand, the erratic behaviour returned.
    I'd searched several forums to no avail. No one seemed to have a solution or an explanation so I just lived with it.
    However, by coincidence, I was experiencing what I believed was an unrelated issue. One of my USB ports was no longer responding to devices plugged into that port. While searching for a solution for the USB port, I stumbled across a post where the user suggested resetting the SMC. I'd never heard of that before this post. In his post, he mentioned that erratic Magic Pad behaviour could also be caused by the SMC.
    He instructed to
    1. Attach the MagSafe power cord
    2. Power off the MacBook Pro
    3. Press the L-Shift/Control/Option and Power button at the same time and hold.
    4. Release them all at the same time
    5. Then power on the MacBook Pro
    Not only did my USB regain functionality, but it appears to have resolved my erratic Magic Pad behaviour. It now operates as it had done when new.
    For reference, I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" with the Intel I3 processor and Lion.
    I hope that helps somebody else as it did for me.

  • My monitor screen scrolls up and down on its own by it's self? How do I stop it?

    How do I fix a monitor screen scrolling up and down on its own?

    Sabrasam,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I want you to try a factory reset on the monitor if you haven’t attempted one already.
    1.       Press the Menu down in the bottom right corner of the monitor.
    2.       Once the on screen display appears toggle down to factory reset.
    3.       Select on that option
    You might see your monitor go dark a couple times but that is normal. Test it out after the reset.
    If I have been helpful or if you'd like to say thank you for me trying to help, click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.

  • Mac mini shut down on its own, will not restart, grey screen, spinning wheel. Unplugged everything, will still not restart. Did safe boot, will not restart after safe boot, only grey screen with spinning wheel.

    Mac mini shut down on its own. Could not restart, chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Unplugged everything but monitor, still only chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Started in safe boot, shut Down, will not restart.
    This happened a couple of months ago, unplugged everything and it restarted, now that won't work.

    Hi BDAqua,
    I just did the repair as you suggested. T ran the disc repair, and twice it cam back, the volume macintosh seems ti be okay, I also ran the verify and permissions repair, both came back okay.
    I was actually hoping that they would find something, so they could repair. I shut the computer down, and restated with out holding a key, and I started up great. I'm baffled.  I have moved 20 GB to an external hard drive, as I only had 10% open space.
    I have Tech Tool 6, would you recommend to run a repair check on that, or just leave well enough alone.
    I agree with you on the new Mac's, I have problems with no disc for back up, until they realize their mistake I will stay with Snow a Leopard. This is the first problem I have experienced, so I can't complain. Their last programs are not as perfected as under Steve, prior to his handling over the reins, hope this is not going to be the future we can expect from Apple.
    I will wait to here back as to your suggestion regarding the Tech Tool check
    Thanks for all your help.
    Gratefully,
    Cheri

  • How can i back up my apple iphone 3g its telling me to unlock the screene but i cant the touch screen doesnt work

    i have a apple iphone 3g and my touch screen doesnt work i tried to back it up to my itunes but its telling me unlock it i need my contacts off it like asap help

    If the touch screen physically doesn't work, it's too late to back it up. You should have been syncing your contacts with something... a cloud service or contact manager on a PC. If you were not, then I'm afraid you're going to lose them.
