When I browse the net, the screen goes dim

I've had the phone about a month and am generally pleased, but as a novice, I can't figure out certain things.  One of them is that when I use the web browser, the screen goes dim (almost to the point of unreadability).  It doesn't seem to do this for any other activity that I can recall.   Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, I appreciate the response.  I got this worked out last night via Verizon phone support.  As you say, it was in the menu once I'd opend the browser by going to the lower left button on the phone, bringing up the menu.  I had not realized that if I scrolled through this menu, there were more options I wasn't seeing.  Silly me, but good to get it worked out.

    Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • Help! screen goes dim, just the editing window

    Hi there, I am running photoshop cs4 extended on windows 7 on  hp. once in a while my screen goes dim making editing difficult. My monitor is profiled and is fine. the only thing dim is the images on my first screen. I run two screens, when I pull PS over to  my other monitor it brightens up. So Its not in my file, and it isn't affecting photoshops menu bars or anything like that, and its only intermitent. the first screen is the profiled one as it  is much higher quality, the second screeen is only for tools and web browsing. In have checked  a lot of things and have no idea what causes this or any solution, any advice would be great.

    Cannot possibly be, as for one it is a desktop computer that has no power management, and two the menu bars, tools and everything else stays the same brightness, it is only the editing window itself.
    Thank you for trying, it is appreciated.

  • My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately?

    My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately, even when i touch the screen? Apps seem to work fine but no backlight. Tried updating the Ipod, Tried Resetting the Ipod, Tried turing it off then on, Tried recharging... still no repair?

    I restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem.  An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    What s the option button you are talking about.  No such button is described in the Ipod Users Guide.

    Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

  • Screen goes dim when processor working - even when plugged to mains power.

    Screen goes dim when processor working - even when plugged to mains power.
    Whether I'm running 3D software or just surfing the net, the screen keeping fading/dimming and then recovering over a few seconds. No USB devices connected, mains power on - NOT IMPRESSED!
    Any ideas - a hardware problem? Back to Mac?

    If you go to System Preferences > Energy Saver, the is a checkbox under the "options" tab that says, "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep." On my new MBP (10.5.1), this was "on" by default. Try unchecking it and see if it helps.

    Why after I updated my iPhone 4S to the new software it goes dim on its on? I have to hit the sleep button or go to setting to fix it. This has to be a bug.

    Hello 6underwood,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • When in Final Cut My MacBook Screen goes black

    I was working on Final Cut on my Macbook Pro and everything was running smoothly until I used the "help" tab to find out how to freeze frame. I moused over to the drop down window to hit the command and I either clicked on it or something around it, then my screen went black. I have a dual screen and nothing happened to my external monitor. Now the weird thing is when I use any other program my Macbook screen comes back to normal. It even comes back to normal when a Final Cut prompt windows come up on the screen but as soon as I answer the prompt the screen goes back to black. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hit command+F12 and see what happens.
    It sounds like you've enabled Desktop Cinema Preview.

  • CS6 - Screen goes black when trying to crop & clone stamp screen goes polorized when using

    I run Photoshop CS6 on a windows 7 machine.  It has started having two problems:
    First, when trying to crop, as soon as I release the mouse button after blocking the frame to crop, the screen goes black - No controls, no picture, nothing.   I have to close Photoshop and restart to get back to the photo.
    Second, when using clone stamp, as I click to clone the photo switches to odd colors (almost like it was polarized).  The color returns to normal when I release the mouse button.
    What is going on and what do I do?
    Thank you,
    Mike Modlin

    Update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website, or disable GPU drawing in Photoshop if you cannot update the driver for some reason.

  • When no squint add on activated screen goes blank

    I have used no squint for a couple of years with no problem. But the last time I activated it the firefox browser flashed on the screen and then disappeared leaving me with a blank screen. When I uninstalled no squint the screen returned.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Alnwick.

    These are what my Global settings are. There are two option panels.
    This one is the Global, meaning all web sites. There is also a
    per site panel, meaning for that site only.
    Either the Global, or per site option may be causing your problem.

  • When ever i insert microsim my screen goes blank with just apple logo on screen ...Without sim it is ok...I dont know what to do

    I just recently bought IPAD2....Whenever i inserted my microsim into sim tray, the screen goes blank with only apple logo to show...It does not start till i remove the sim and press both Home and Power buttons simulataneously...Can somebody help what shall i do????

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Wireless upgrade and screen goes dim questions? - 2different things in one thread

    I have a T42.  Recent upgrade is replacing the hard drive and upgrade the RAM to max.  I am thinking of upgrading the wireless card to improve the internet speed.  Any suggestion?
    The machine was not behaving lately.  The screen went dim (very dim) and sometimes black and white.  It seems that it went to battery mode by itself.  Wondering what causes this?  The machine was connected to AC and I set never hibernate and turn-off when AC plug-in.   
    Thanks.
