The screen on my 3GS is very dark

The screen on my 3gs is very dark. How can I improve it?

Hi kevinfrommartock,
Welcome to the Support Communities! You can adjust the brightness of your screen using the Settings app, and also from the Control Center. Here is some information from the iPhone User Guide for iOS 8.
Adjust the screen brightness - iPhone
Adjust the screen brightness
Dim the screen to extend battery life, or use Auto-Brightness.
Adjust the screen brightness. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness, then drag the slider. If Auto-Brightness is on, iPhone adjusts the screen brightness for current light conditions using the built-in ambient light sensor. You can also adjust the brightness in Control Center.
Have a great day!

My screen has gone to a very dark grey on startup.

My screen has gone to a very dark grey on startup. I can faintly make out the desktop icons, but it is about 98% black. Everything else seems to be fuctioning. Any ideas?

Not inexpensive, you should decide whether it's worth doing, or upgrading to a new machine, yours is no longer supported, and neither are there any new apps that will work on it. It may be time to bite the bullet and get a new one, you can look in the Apple Store refurbished section for good deals.

I wonder if I can get the lyrics (lyrics) are scrolled on the screen, as most lyrics is very large, and can almost never get the entire text box. is possible to make each verse appears, while the audio playback?

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
If you want to copy all the infor from an old iPod touch to the inew iPod see:

A serious Problem occured on the screen of my 3gs!!!!!!

I bought my 3gs about 1 month ago.At first,I got good experience and learned the meaning of 's'.But then I found a serious problem.It happens ONLY JUST the moment I reopen the screen if I used the screen for a while.About 3 mm near to the edge of the screen it would appear some green lines(a small green square in the screen).I think this might be sometihing like afterimages.The longer I used the screen,the loooooooooonger the green lines will be.The most strange thing is if I don't use the screen for about more than 1 hour,it will turn back to normal.But after about 1 or 2 min it is bad again!
When I am using the screen not open the screen it acts as normal one's,everything is good.
Could any guy tell me the reason of this phenomenon?
Firmware:iPhone OS 3.1.2

You can try the basics from the manual:
Restart, reset, restore.
If this doesn't help then you can take it to the Apple Store, or whomever provides service in your country and they will replace is it is defective.

My PC camera was working probably, but it just turned to show the picture in a video chat or what ever very dark in night eaven if i turn the room light on, so please i need a serious help

Presumably a hardware acceleration issue. Update your graphics driver.

After I tried using the background effects my pictures were very dark, now when I try to take a regular picture it's completely black? how do I put it back so it will see me not pitch blackness?

I selected the clouds effect and turned my computer to the wall when it asked me to step out of frame when I turned it back to me and took the picture it was very dark, now when on normal I can't see anything else besides black

This a Photobooth question?

I open my MacBook Pro lid, the screen comes on momentarily, then goes dark, and I can't do anything

OS X 10.6..08
MacBookPro6.2
I never reboot. I have a lot of windoes open. Every week or two I'll open the lid to get to work and the display comes on then goes off and I can't do anything. The keyboard backlight is on. If I close the lid the white pilot light on the front right edge is on. I have not been able to guess a key combination to get it back. The only thing I found is to press and hold the power key to force a reboot. When it comes back up it usually sends a trouble report.

Inside your Utilites you will see the Console.app. Click on it. Reports will be there.
Yes I have tried a short press of the power button. I've opened and closed and done short presses and waited several minutes for something to happen afer each action.
Since I can't see the screen I can't close/quit applications.
It opens closes, sleeps wakes just fine several times a day, and for days in a row. Then one day it exhibits this bad behavior.
Thanks for asking some questions and offering suggestions!!

Video camera screen fades to black or very dark wh...

on the Lumia 920, when recording video which is quite long; 30 minutes, the camera fades to black, as if you are recording in a darkened room.
This has happened now and then? I'm planning to record a soccer game lasting 30 minutes, so obviously, I'm a bit worried. It will fade. Rebooting the phone seems to solve it. I did notice the phone was a bit hot.
The camera itself seems to go blank or near dark. Even taking a photo, the camera is dark. Like I said, rebooting fixes it.

hi mate, have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware version? i remember that on early versions of WP8, it cut-out at about half an hour because the file system did not recognise that writing files of 4GB was allowed. this was fixed though.
also ensure that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store.

Line on the screen of iphone 3gs

My screen has suddenly developed a straight line on the right side of the display panel. This line is also visible when the phone is turned off. Can any one assist me with the same??

Hi,
Try restoring your iPhone but not from a backup.

Re sync your apps several at a time as it may be a third party app that's causing the problem.

Satellite P10: white and purple clouds fading across the screen when booting

I had been having problems with my SP-10 laptop so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60GB instead of standard 40GB) and fitted it myself. I was working fine with this for a long time until suddenly I had the strangest problem I have ever seen on a computer...
Sometimes, when booting the laptop, instead of the normal red "TOSHIBA" screen and the Windows XP startup message, the laptop simply shows some weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, eventually fading to a very dark but not quite black screen.
I thought to begin with it was a problem with the DVD drive, as when it finally gave in and booted normally, the DVD drive was disabled. However, I have noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" that the InfraRed Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to it, but will then disappear from the listing, then reappear again, and then go again and so on.
Sometimes my computer will be operating normally, then completely lock up (mouse and all) and will reboot with the clouds!
I have looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the notebook has locked up and have seen something to do with an IRQ problem for the Infrared Port. I disabled the InfraRed port in Device Manager (I managed to enable it in the BIOS by loading standard BIOS settings) and restarted, but it started up with the clouds again, so I have a feeling the InfraRed port is the culprit - perhaps faulty hardware/loose connection as it is located quite close to the DVD drive and HD drive.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this before on ANY computer, and if they knew how to resolve it? It seems completely illogical that a faulty IR port could alter what is displayed on the screen at bootup, unless of course there is something wrong with the boot sector of my HD?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tom

Well I can assure you my laptop has an InfraRed Port on it - I used to use it with my mobile phone for various things but don't bother now.
Good idea about attaching another monitor - hadn't thought of that. I will see what I can come up with.
I simply don't understand how anything except the display driver could be causing this, unless of course, another piece of hardware is conflicting with the display driver. But then why would it be intermittent and not constant? Anyway, I don't seem to have had the problem since I disabled the IR port (except the first time I disabled it) so here's hoping it's fixed.
Will definitely try attaching another display though. Good thinking.
Thanks,
Tom

MacBook screen randomly gets very dark

My MacBook is from 2007, so it is old and has its problems. I am currently in college and use my iPad primarily for school work. Thank God I got this iPad a few weeks ago because I did not know my computer would have such a huge problem! When I turned it on one day, it was all normal, and randomly the screen got so dark, it looked like the computer had shut down on me. I knew it was still turned on though because the little light was indicating that it was on and it was still making the cd drive/booting up sounds. After a while, I noticed that the screen just went very very dim, because I could still slightly see the webpage I was on. Turning up the brightness of the screen did nothing to help, same with restarting the computer. Sometimes the screen would come back to the normal brightness, until I would go to do something on the internet and it would go very dark again. It's so unpredictable, I don't even want to deal with it anymore. But there are some things for school I just need my laptop for rather than my iPad and I really need some help trying to fix it!! I seriously cannot afford to buy a new MacBook right now, so I need to get this dim screen fixed so this computer can last me the rest of the semester.

It sounds like screen is failing. There is no fix if this is the problem.

There are special deals for students. You can get a MacBook Air starting around $750.
If you do purchase a new computer, get 8GB RAM. RAM is soldered in and you can't upgrade later.

Qosmio G30 - shady dark lines on the screen

Hi
I bought Qosmio G30-116. Overall great but there is one issue. On the bottom of the screen there are two big shady dark lines (the brighter the color of background is the more wisible it gets.
It is very anoying I bought it mainly for movies. I took it to the shop where I bouth it but they've said it is normal and all toshiba 17" screen have it. But I have seen 3 other models with 17"(qosmio resolution stays the same) and none of them had it.
What should I do? Is it really normal? Thanks

Puuuhhh. Hey pitorek, its really not easy to say if its a display malfunction.
But I think this question could be answered by a authorized technician.
I think you should contact the service partner in your country (I assume youre from Poland ;)) and explain the guys the situation. I think you should send him this screenshot.
Possibly you will get a replacement. But I dont know if it could be a display fault or fl inverter or something different.

I have seen and read your post about your monitor showing a green color along the left side with stripes. I understand you have already tried updating your graphics driver and restarting your computer and checking your monitor settings.
I have researched this issue for you and I have found a few troubleshooting documents, that I hope can point you in the right direction to get this resolved.
