IPhone 4S iOS7: Brightness keeps going up

I have a black iPhone 4S with the updated iOS 7.

I noticed that even though I have auto-brightness off, my iPhone's brightness slider will literally go up to this one certain spot on the slider by itself.

This is Really annoying. For example, I turned my brightness all the way down to read stories on Wattpad in the dark. But then, as soon as I went back to my Wattpad library, the brightness went up, burning the *** out of my eyes.
I opened up the settings and manually turned down the brightness but it just keeps going back up to the same spot and it seriously seriously irritates me.

Why is this happening? How do I stop/fix it!

Iphone 4s, do you still have one? Do you like it?

I have never had a smartphone, but am now eligible for an upgrade. I can't afford much, and the iphone 4s I can get for 1 buck with my contract (actually it would cost 31 bux, with the 30 buck activation fee, and that is for the 8 GB storage).It'd be $50 + the $30 activation for one with 16 GB (so that's $80). I don't think I can afford a 5S. Is the iphone 4s too slow? Do you have one, and do you like it?

Added (1). I know that it's obviously not as good as the 5s! I wasn't being stupid in the slightest bit! The question was if it is "too" slow, or if it's not so, so bad to have as my first smartphone… I don't want a phone where I'll suffer through it…

My iPhone Ios 7 is killing me

I had to update the ihpone so it would work. Everything seems fine at first until I wanted to buy a song from itunes.

You see, I want to buy a song and for some reason when I press download it will not download, it will just suddenly stop and I have to try again.

So I find the settings in itunes and app store to get music and apps to be turned on in automatic download… But it switches back to off right away. I'm going to kill this phone seriously!

I don't know what to do.

Wanting to get a replacement iPhone but worried about photos?

So, I have an iPhone 4S and now that there are new upgrades out for the iPhone and I can choose from the iPhone 5, 5c & 5s now, I want to upgrade my phone because it has a large crack on the screen from where I dropped it and it hit concrete on one of its corners. It's not even a year old, and my mom has been a long standing customer with AT&T.

Like I already said, I want to get my iPhone replaced because the crack is all the way across the screen and it obstructs & distorts my viewing, and I was wondering if anyone who has had an upgrade from one iPhone to another was able to get their photos transferred. I have been told that the wireless provider with whom we have our cell phones can do it, but I have over 3, 000 photos and I want to keep them!

Added (1). When I say I want the photos TRANSFERRED, I mean I want them TRANSFERRED from one phone to the other. I already have them on my computer. This is the only Apple device I own and I want to have my pictures.

Can the iPhone 5 see when you read a message?

My friend has the iPhone 5, but I don't. Assuming that they have this setting on, can they still see if I read their text messages or not even though I don't have the same phone?

Messages won't send? Iphone 5?

I've had my iphone for a while and its worked perfectly but for the past two days i'm not able to send text messages to other iPhones without being connected to Wi-Fi. To other phones it works perfectly just not iPhones. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

Will I lose my music on my iphone?

Being the uncoordinated idiot that I'm, I dropped my laptop and it is most likely that my hard drive is broken.So, I've lost all of my stuff, including my music on iTunes. But, I still have it on my iphone.So, once I get a new hard drive and reinstall iTunes, will I be able to plug in my iphone and have the music upload to iTunes? Most of my music is from cd's, so there isn't an iTunes record of me buying it.

ITunes won't work at my school

Ok so since I don't have a computer I can call mine at home, I get all of my music off the schools mac computers at school, when I had iOS 6 and the older version of itunes everything was fine, but since I updated to iOS 7 and the newer version of itunes compatible with iOS 7 when I drag music to my iphone 4 the screen reads "you do not have enough access privileges to perform this action" any way to get past my schools restrictions?
