anybody has any idea why my TyTn does not turn off backlight while it is connected to my computer through the USB/Charge cable?
Maybe its not set to turn off the backlight on external power? Go into settings -> backlight -> external power tab and check.
Go to Settings> Power> On External Power: Tick Turn off device if not used for (Time)
James beat me to it by seconds!
OK. Thanks.
I had the Backlight setting set to 3 minutes on External Power but now I set the Power settings to turn the device off if not used for 5 minutes. I still don't understand why Backlight setting are not sufficient.

My xda exec's screen switches off when i put it into charging...although the battery is charged but the screen remains off till it is connected....the moment the charging pin is removed the backlight switches on........

have u checked the backlight settings, theres a separate bar for the backlight when plugged in.. that might be right down..?
there could be a registry thing to stop it too...
Start | Settings | [System Tab] | Backlight
Within here, you have 3 tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Brightness, Battery Power, External Power. On the latter two options you should have the option to change whether or not the backlight stays on in those circumstances. For example, you can switch the backlight to go off after 10 seconds on external power.
Check this If it is still causing the issue when you have unchecked both of those boxes, well, you know where we are
tried all the backlight settings ..... brightness, battery power, external power.. ...but nothing worked ...the backlight used to switch on as soon as charging wire was removed or was put in camera mode even while charging.....finally had to reinstall the rom....now its fine....
I can only find a setting for turning off the device which I don't want to do because sometimes I sync files and I don't want the phone to turn off in the middle. Surely there is a way to turn off the screen though? It bugs me that it is always on when the phone is charging.
Thanks!
Go to Menu > Settings > Power >
Then click the advanced tab along the bottom
and if you only want the backlight to turn off and keep the device powered while charging
On external power:
enable turn off backlight (and choose after how many minutes)
disable turn off device if not used
Isnt turning the device off turning the screen off? As in throwing the device into standby?
When my X1 is in standby (after pushing the power button), I can still access it from my computer...
Just a quick one..
I'm not sure if its to do with S2U2 (Slide to unlock), but whenever I've got a USB connection active for transferring music, as soon as the screen goes off, the USB disconnects.
Obviously annoying & potentially damaging to the microsd.
Any ideas?

Start - Settings - System - Power - Advanced - On External Power:
uncheck the Turn Off Backlight checkbox
and in S2U2 settings,
On External Power:
Lock when backlight turns off - OFF
Power off in - OFF
Hope that sorts it.
All the settings are as you said, realised even with S2U2 unloaded, it still happens. USB is set to charge the battery.
Think I'll forget it for now, going to be trying out custom roms over the coming days so device will be hard reset.
Cheers for your reply.
Hi
I have search all forums but not finding any answear.
I have S2U2 installed.
And all worked fine until today when my backlight didn't turn off (set backrounflight to 30 sec), neither did the phone turn off (set turn off to 1 min).
I have set the parameters in settings->power
Also in S2U2.
But the backlight just dimmer, not turn off, and the phone do not either turn off.
Can anybody help me??
Please!
taht usually happens when your connected via active sync, it will just dimmer, but u can change, goto settings > system > power > backlight and tick it off if you dont it to dimmer. hope that helps
My touch HD has just started an annoying habit - when it is on external power, the screen dims to about half-brightness in about 5 seconds. This is extremely annoying in the car cradle as it is very hard to read.
I cant find anywhere in settings or Advanced Config to change this.
Is there somewhere i can change this? a reg key?
cheers
settings > system > Power > backlight > uncheck auto adjust andf settings for external power should show up.
thx bigf00t - i tried that before, but it only changes the actual brightness of the screen while it is on power and in use. After I adjust that it then dims again after 5 seconds no matter what the setting.
You may try settings -> systems -> Power -> Advance, you should able to find what you need there.
ok - that was definitely it.
"Turn off backlight if device not used for" was set to 1 minute. I changed it to 2mins then back to 1 minute and it actually stayed bright for 1 minute instead of 5 seconds!
Nice to know that "turn off backlight" actually means "dim backlight"
