Anytime I have the K-Jam charging, the screen never goes dim, the backlight is always on. I have selected 5 min shut whether on internal or external power..?
What am I missing..?
Start->Settings->Power, then click the "Advanced" tab. ensure a checkmark appears in the setting for "On Battery Power" (e.g., Turn off device if not used for..").
It will shutdown when connected to a wall charger, but will never dim when connected to a computer via the USB.
Is this a known issue..?
its not a error, its how it should be, when your connected to computer, its not inactive, activesync is constantly running and watching what you are doing.
If anything, you should cancel your activesync process to disable this and also cancel the activesync on the device.
Alternatively, you can try just dimming the screen after inactivity.

I've got a Universal with all the default ROMs and whatnot. I plug it into my PC overnight to charge. I have it set so that the backlight turns off after 5 minutes when connected to external power, and it normally does so. However, it seems like it turns itself on again at random points (it does turn itself off again). I cannot discern what it is that is causing it to turn on, the only relevant thing I have running is ActiveSync and it isn't busy syncing.
Has anyone got a clue why it might do this?
mine will switch on when it's downloading e-mails.
ActiveSync wakes the PDA up at regular intervals to see if it needs to sync, its something you have to live with.
in power settings, the default is to turn on while being charged
have alook at power management in settings
When I open application and leave it about less than 1 minute, it turns off. how do you make it on longer ? thanks
come on guys. help me. this is a simple question to answer.
Start - Settings - System - Power - Advanced
Change battery power off timeout, or untick the box if you don't want it to switch itself off (will drain battery fully if left unattended).
Hope this is what you were after.

I don't understand. I mean I can't find it
what I see in there is
-On battery power:
turn off device if not used for
-On external power:
turn off device if not used for
You are in the right place.
Where it says :
-On battery power:
turn off device if not used for
There should be a tick box to the left and a drop down box with times to the right. Ticking the box tells the device to power off if not used for the time defined in the drop down box when running on battery.
Where it says:
-On external power:
turn off device if not used for
There should also be a tick box to the left and a drop down box with times to the right. Ticking the box tells the device to power off if not used for the time defined in the drop down box when running connected to an external power supply (charger or USB connection).
You need to tick the boxes appropriately - do you want the device to switch off when connected to the external power and/or when running on battery?
You also need to set the time settings appropriately. How long do you want the device to stay on if keys are not touched when running on battery?
Personally I have the battery box ticked and the external box unticked. Battery timeout is set to 3 minutes and the external timeout is not importanat as it is switched off. Result is my device auto powers off after 3minutes when running on battery, but doesn't auto power of when connected to the charger or to a USB connection.
Hope this is clearer and answers your query.

For an unkouwn reason my device wont't go sleep when I push the power buton. also after some time of connection (3-4 minutes) the screen goes blank and don't respont until I plug the power or a usb cable connected with the computer.
To use it I need a soft. that force the hermes go to sleep.
Do you know any?

This happens when my jade is connected to pc via activesync...
Aftersome time, when there is no data transfer between pc and jade, it gets disconnected automatically
Jade keeps charging and the screen light remains dimmed... Is this normal
In the power settings (start/settings/advanced tab) there is an option for 'on external power'. Check the value for 'turn off device if not used for:' option.
Hi Thanks for reply..
But as i said before the phone doesnt go on standby, screen remains dimmed and the value set is 30 min....
There's something else :S
Is there any way to prevent turning off HD2 while charging / on cradle?
I need it to see clock 24/7 while my device is charging.
Now if I connect device to the PC it goes standby (while on lock screen, when the time is displayed), even if "screen timeout" is set to never.
Thank you!
