Not until HTC fixes the bug
Actually there is a workaround, as I keep my phone plugged in charging on my nightstand. It seems like the problem is only when the phone is in standby.
Go into Settings->System->Power->Advanced and uncheck the option for On External Power "Turn off device if not used for". This will keep the phone on while plugged in and you should still get your alarms (I do). Just remember not to put the phone in standby with the power button before placing on the charger. Hope this helps.
Thanks, I will give this a try.
When you do this, the LCD backlight will be turned off after the a while, but the LCD itself is still on.

I have the screen set to be always on while running on mains power and this has worked fine until recently.
It now times out, even though the settings are to be on always.
Charge light is on and battery shows charging.
Running TomTom the display stays on.
Sounds like a registry problem though I don't know where to look.
Are you using phone alarm
In a word - no.
Very odd then.
I've been told that charging the Titan while off is the best way - so the battery resets or something. I don't know if you have to do this everytime or just once and a while.
but i found that I turn my phone off, then while it's charging - it will mysteriously turn itself back on. The battery is not full yet, it just will randomly turn on.
So Is there a way to keep the phone off while charging? (I'm using a wall HTC adapter)
There is no reason to charge with the phone off. Also are you really turning the phone or or putting it in standby.
I hold the power button down till it says 'turn off , yes/no" and I push yes.
by the way what is standby?
push power button to turn phone screen off.
Some winmo phones turn on by itself, the titan and TP are 2.
I use S2U2 to lock the phone so the phone closes itself at a set time.
IMO, turning off your cell phone to charge ruins the point of having a cell phone for the time its off. Even if the phone's off, it'll still be draining a little energy.
Standby:
Phone is on. You press the power button breifly once. Phone screen turns off and phone goes into a low power mode.
Off:
Phone is on. You press and hold the power button and tap Yes when the dialog box asks if you want to turn off the phone. Phone then turns off completely.
If my phone is charging off a PC via USB it will sometimes awake from standby on its own. It doesn't do this when using just a charger. It does not turn on by itself though if fully turned off.
I only turn off my phone to charge if I want it to charge a little bit faster.
Sweet thanks for the replies.
I was just curious. But it turns out that my phone kept turning on, because my charger was on it's way out for some reason.
Tested it and it was only charging at a rate 50mA way less than the 1A label. And it was always super hot. So got a new one, problem solved, glad it didn't fry my phone

what you're referring to is calibrating the battery. to calibrate the battery, you need to charge your phone to 100%, let it die, then charge it to 100% while the phone is off. calibrating your battery resets the sensors inside which provide all the information about your battery, including remaining battery life. definitely a good thing to do every once and a while and you'll notice the difference
There aren't sensors inside the battery.
I noticed that the phone turns the moment the charger is connected to it (or if the USB cable is attached from a PC that is on). There doesn't seem to be a way to charge the phone with it switched off.
Do the others notice the same behaviour or is this a problem with my Omnia? Is there a way to disable this?
Yeah I have the same thing you cannot charge it while it is turned off. This is true from all the iPhones I have used aswell. It isn't a fault don't worry about it.
I don't know if it can be disabled but why would you want to out of interest?
I tend to charge the phone at night and don't want to receive calls.....

Flightmode is your friend
Settings -> Flightmode on
That cuts all wireless connections, you won't receive calls or SMS at night.
Noticed this too, my phone also reboots when I connect it to a charger too - anyone else had that happen?
With some reading i;ve been doing, *only recently started reading up about li-ion bats* seems they might be on to gain optimal charge / long life at the right voltage.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
might be why...
I'm doing more research into it. But another reason i can think of is, When it's on. Boot up time isn't there. Flight mode is. I use it rather than turning a phone off now, saves turning on the other end, i can play a game, watch a video, listen to music on the plane and charge it on a socket ready for the other end.
Yes, i noticed this issue also... as i remember, in a small book that came with my phone there is written you can charge you phone when its switched off - it will charge faster.. but theres not written how never mind, its like that, and thats the way it is...
Oh this would be bad. I charge my phone at nights too, and have it next to my bed. If the screen would be on it would be too bright to sleep with (I'm a very light sleeper). Hmm...

No, the screen won't be on
The screen turns off after a minute or you can press the standby button manually.
It's just that you can't switch off the phone completely when it is connected to a charger.

Maybe it's some kind of power management that the OS is doing therefore it needs to be on.
Battery life is great on WP7 after all.
It's confirmed by pocketnow.com
the WP7 OS doesn't allow you to charge while the phone is off
Hello,
I tried searching around the forums but was unable to find a similar problem, so let me describe the problem:
Plug USB3.0 cable into the phone to charge overnight.
Screen immediately lights up because of the charge connection, I press the power button to turn off the screen
Upon returning a few hours later or the next morning the phone screen is on (all night long)
I have the following settings on the phone:
screen timeout set to 15 seconds
"Stay Awake, Screen will never sleep while charging" is turned off under developer options
phone is NOT rooted
Any other ideas on what's going on here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Interesting, I tried what you suggest...Anytime I get a text the screen does come back on and it now stays on so this doesn't quite do the trick for me.
Thanks!
Mine stays off...sounds like maybe a rogue process. Check and see what has the longest process runtime...If it's a user installed app delete it. That doesn't I'd say factory rest

I was getting this behavior, the screen was turning on and off (basically flashing) when I got a text message. I finally uninstalled Textra and that resolved it.
I haven't tried another 3rd party text app, yet.
My phone Screen stays awake all-night what can I do to fix it ?
What did you do to break it?
Presuming this is new behavior, what did you add or remove?

If I turn my screen off it will not come back on. I can see a very faint but unusable screen image. If I plug in the charger I can fool around with it and get it to start up. It works normally if I don't turn off the screen or if I leave it on the charger. I tried a new battery but changing it did not cure the problem. Any ideas?
Edit: if I toggle Always On and get the clock during sleep, the problem seems to go away.
Thanks

Use this and toggle the CPU option and set to apply locks on boot https://www.google.com/amp/s/apkfab.com/wakelock-revamp-powermanager/eu.thedarken.wldonate/amp
The problem is related to deep sleep in the phone
