IPhone :: Light Is Not Dimming When Talking On The Phone?
Mar 14, 2012
When I make a phone call or when someone calls me, my light doesn't dim. While talking to someone my face hits one of the buttons on the phone, especially the mute button.
When i talk on the phone the keyboard light fades away; however, the call, blackberry, back, and end buttons all stay on THE WHOLE TIME i talk. I have talked for 30 minutes and it stays on. I have all the settings to as low as they go and i have it to where the lights fade. I just cant seem to figure out if this happens on everybody's phone or its just mine and i need to get it replaced. I have had no other complaints on this phone and the battery lasts a pretty long period of time for me but i know that if this issue gets fixed it would last even longer.
when I turn on the screen on my g3 after a few seconds the screen dims ever so slightly and is noticeable , the percentage on the brightness scale stays at the 75% tho , its set to 75% all the time , not using auto brightness , unrooted using Nova launcher .
I just updated to 442 and everything else seems fine except for the fact that when on a call, as soon as the backlight times out, it mutes the mic and the party on the other end cannot hear me. Clicking the trackball "unmutes" the phone until the backlight times out again. This happens whether I'm on speakerphone or not.
I posted this in the actual OS thread as well but figured someone in here may read this and know of a solution.
I've done quite a few battery pulls hoping this would resolve the issue but it hasn't.
The nice thing about upgrading from 296 to this is when you are on a call and the backlight times out, the screen and everything but the 4 buttons on the trackpad row go dim. So if its dark you can still find these 4 buttons rather easily. I just wish I could figure out this mute issue.
well in addition to the three tested in the conference video, i saw more phones being apple doom-gripped. such as this...

and now the pre will be i guess..this is very funny to me because i felt like all those other companies were probably feeling so smug right now with the whole iphone 4 reputation.and now its like, apple is killing em with these videos and they are pretty convincing, whether haters admit it or not, that this is all blown out of proportion and that all phones have this sensitivity in one way or another.i mean we were over there acting like we expected a recall. and we got all hysterical when jobs correctly said its a non-issue. but now i feel like we made them angry and this is only showing the facts more sharply and scientifically than ever.
and the facts are that its the best device available and the rest are junk compared to it.
so now, when a company tries to get fresh.theyll just release another simple vid of some hand model holding their competitors phone.
this hate is getting huge and making a huge impact on apple (low-brow simpletons across the world now have the impression the iphone 4 cant make calls) so as a response, it gives apple every right to go to war.but its a war they are already winning so now its even more reason to dominate the competition because these videos i honestly feel makes those guys look bad/even worse in comparison.
I can't use the keyboard on my phone while talking on it. The keyboard doesn't come up at all while talking on the phone. As soon as I hang up the keyboard pops up.
I have a Samsung S6 with a Otterbox defender and i am having a problem. When i call someone the person I am calling is hearing a echo of there own voice.
I can make it stop if i open the 2 caps on the bottom of the case.
Ive just noticed this issue on my month old z3. People can hear me fine if i talk using the earpiece, but the moment i switch to speaker, my voice sounds distant, or I cant be heard at all. Ive tried factory reset, but no luck.
Now and then I get complaints from the person I talk to that the sound quality suddenly becomes very poor. The comments usually are: Oops, I think you have switch on the speaker (which I don't have). I hear a lot of noice around you. ... or
I can bearly hear you. I think you have a signal problem (which I don't have) ...or
- What happend? Are you in a cave? There is a echo problem, I can hear my own voice.
I think there is some kind of microphone feedback problem.
At all time I can still hear with good quality. The poor sound is always for the other person.
I have tried to switch the speaker on/off and mute on/off during the call but it doesn't help. The only thing to do is to hang up and call back. Then the sound is back to normal .... but can again switch back to poor quality after a while.
I bought my X6 1 month ago and now it doesn't want to charge or turn on. Before this happened I was on the phone talking and I had low battery so I decided to put my charger in while I was talking. I have charged it all night and it still won't turn on.
I am a Sony Xperia Z5 user. I have problem while i am talking in phone the incmoming voice are too high. There is any shortcut available that could reduce the volume?. I know one option that volume botton can reduce while talking.
I live in Downtown Los Angeles, so reception isn't a problem. I usually always get full bars. However, when talking on long phone calls 20+ minutes with full bars, my phone will just cut off and say call failed. Then I have no reception, then it just comes back.
Is this a iPhone issue or a ATT issue? I have an odd suspicion it's my phone because it occurs so frequently, but Ive had difficulty asking the apple bar to replace my phone just because of reception issues.
I will be listening to music through headphone, and a call comes and it isnt through headphone, I call with headphones in and call goes through phone speaker as if I do not have hadphones in at all.
If I press the speakerphone button, I will then hear through my headphone, but still cant talk through headphone mic.
I thought the call screen is supposed to give you options (headset, or headphones) but I think only saw it once, only thing the button does now is just switch the speakerphone and off the speakerphone.
Is there any way to prevent the screen from automatically dimming ? When checking email or waiting for a connection , I have to keep pressing the button to keep the screen active. I have the latest available update installed
can be able to shut off the auto dimming feature?This feature makes the screen so dim I can not see a dam thing when I am outside. I have to hide my BBY under my coat to read email or make a call.
Since I downloaded 5.0.2, the photos I set as lock screen wallpapers become dim. Basically, my lock screen shows the time clearly, but the wallpaper is dark. I tried boosting the brightness of the photo, but it looks bad...
Is there any way to stop my phone from dimming all the time. If I am gaming or on the phone a while it goes from 100% brightness to like 70. I do not use auto brightness as I do not like it. I like the screen to be as bright as can be.
i've had an iphone 3gs for a while now and was happy with it. i normally let my 7yr-old daughter play games and watch Internet clips on it, but i don't know what she did this morning that now my iphone talks with every command, i have to touch to select and then double-tap for the command to go through, i am having trouble now just trying to type in my password to get into the phone to even see if there is a way to try and take off of what seems to be a seeing-impaired setting.
I know there are other threads on this topic, especially regarding the Storm series of phones, but not anything from this year. So what's the update with this issue? It used to only rear its ugly head in landscape mode on my phone; now it auto dims (yes, with auto dimming turned off in my options) regardless of screen position or time of day outside. It's so bad now that it will auto dim and then brighten again like twice a minute. Really annoying when I'm web browsing or watching a video.
For the past few days my screen hasn't been dimming itself. When locked, the screen stays continuously lit with the "screen is locked" message. StormSlider doesn't activate. Has anyone else had this problem?
My eyes are kind of damaged and I need to know if the Nexus 6P phone screen uses PWM for backlight dimming. Majority of people never notice it but I'd say 5% of people have issues caused by it (headache, migraines, seizures, etc.) Kind of like the CRT flicker but in modern LED backlit devices.
To test use a high end camera/DSLR with adjustable shutter speed and look for black lines on the phone screen when adjusting the camera's shutter speed.
