I was playing around with my screen brightness on my mytouch 4g and set it to the lowest it can be set to, and now i can see anything. I've been trying to set it back by bringing down the menu and sliding where I believe the brightness is but It won't work. Are there any other solutions ?

Oh...Sounds like you set it to the black screen...This is what you do then...
1.Turn off the phone
2.Turn it back on and wait a few mins for it to set up
3.Unlock it
4.Pull down notification bar
5.Slide it or press the toggle button
6.Press Brightness button
You should be able to do this if the screen is pitch black, if you remember where the brightness toggle is in the status bar...
Got it! I forgot about the toggle button, thanks a lot.

Is there an easy way to change the screen brightness. I keep mine set to minimum all the time to conserve power but when I go outside sometimes I can't see the screen due to reflection. Turning up the brightness obviously helps but the snag is I can't see the screen to hit the right menu options to turn it up.
I have spb mobile shell installed but the screen brightness button on that has no effect. I also tried mapping the volume rocker to screen brightness using AEButton plus but that didn't do anything either.
Has anyone come across a quick way of doing this on the HD?
Hi - just got my new HD2 - great phone! Added some tweaks etc from this site (thanks very much BTW!)
I've got a question about the lock screen. When i press the off button the screen goes black, I then switch it on and the lock screen appears. Then after a few seconds the screen brightness decreases and then the screen turns off again. But what I want is for the screen brightness to decrease but the screen not to go off, so that I can easily unlock the phone without having to strain my fingers to get to the buttons in the corner to switch the screen off. I've changed the dimming and off settings in the settings menu but it doesnt appear to affect the lock page. Any ideas??
Is there any way to adjust the timeout? These drive me crazy. Mine stay on for about 3 sec. I've figured out if I touch the screen first they'll come back alive but that's annoying. Most of the time I'm just stabbing in the dark and almost always miss the button on the first try. It would be nice if you could either adjust the time or they stayed on as long as the screen was on or even had a toggle to make that an option. Thanks!
I just got the HTC car kit and Everytime I dock it the volume goes down, is there a way to fix it?
Also is there a way to have the screen on at all times while its docked and charging? Thank you.

To get your screen to stay on, you can do the following:
Tap 'Menu' -> 'Settings'. Go to 'Applications' -> 'Development'. check 'Stay Awake'.
The only thing that bugs me about this is that it will still dim the backlight after the duration of your screen timeout setting. So if you have it set to sleep your screen after 30secs, instead of sleeping your screen, it'll dim it. It's fine while driving at night but in the day it sucks. Still though, you can just tap your screen and it brightens up again.

Yes I realized this as well. Like u said its fine during night driving but at daytime u can't even tell its on sometimes depending the direction of sunlight. Also I realized that when I'm playing music using the HTC player it stops after every track. It will not change to the next track unless I press the now playing button on the bottom right. This only happens when its docked, and changes to the next track without a problem when not docked. Anyone else find a way to fix these issues?

So no one knows how to fix these issues?

Offer a bounty for this fix and it might get some attention.Just a thought.
After using my S4 phone, when I leave the phone alone, it will stay at normal brightness for a while then it will dim (lower brightness) for about 5 seconds then the whole screen will turn black (sleep).
I want to disable the dim. How can I do it? I want it from normal brightness to turn black (sleep).
Thanks
(It is irritating during the dim because I can only press the screen to make phone to return to normal brightness and I tend to press wrong stuff as screen is dimmed, or no empty area to press. Anything pressed on screen will still take effect but I actually do not want to press anything. When it is black I can use power key to turn on again to normal brightness without pressing screen.)
Anyone know?

It does not work. That does not affect the dimming time. The dim I am talking about is the 5 seconds just before the screen turn black

I think he just wants to set the dimming duration to zero. But yea I don't really see any sense in this...
Why don't you just turn off the screen timeout as deakodude said? If not, even if the screen is dimmed, there is always a way to bring the screen back to "full brightness" (ex. by touching two times the menu button or just swiping across the screen, which usually won't trigger any actions).

I do not want to turn off screen timeout as I am happy to read the screen and then let it on for some seconds then shut down.
Read this and it will make sense: It is irritating during the dim because I can only press the screen to make phone to return to normal brightness and I tend to press wrong stuff as screen is dimmed, or no empty area to press. Anything pressed on screen will still take effect but I actually do not want to press anything. When it is black I can use power key to turn on again to normal brightness without pressing screen. Sometimes I am still reading message/map when the screen dims.
"by touching two times the menu button" > this is correct, but it is troublesome
"just swiping across the screen, which usually won't trigger any actions"> this is wrong. During the dim, anything key or anything on screen touched is still working as normal.
Please note: As stated in the thread clearly. Dim I am talking about is the 5 seconds that is lower brightness than usual, it happens just before the screen turns completely black. After using your phone, leave your phone alone untouched and look at the screen until it turns black, you will sure see it.
