While on battery -
backlight set to turn off in 30 seconds, and power management set to turn phone off in 1 minute. at 30 seconds, the backlight gets dim, but doesnt actually turn off (weird). At 1 minute it turns the phone off as it should.
So the backlight isnt actually turning off when it should.
next....
While plugged in -
Backlight set to 1 minute turnoff, power set to turn phone off in 2 minutes while on external power. At one minute, the backlight goes dim (not off again), and the phone never actually turns off, just stays on with a dim backlight screen.
Any ideas as to why the backlight wont turn all the way off? This just started when i flashed the GPS ROM.

when someone calls me when my phone is in standby it turns on, is there anyway for it to go back into standby after like 1 min of not in use? =/ I learned how to turn the backlight off after 30 seconds if inactive, but I want it to go off, because when I am sleeping, blah blah I will wake up and the screens been on for hours.
not sure which rom you use but when i go into settings->system
power and advanced and set the time for when i xda2 should turn off it does just that
Today I had an alarm set, when the alarm went off I tapped hit the power button on the top of my phone to turn the screen off (and hopefully the alarm... but only the screen went off). The alarm continued to go, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get the screen to come back on.
I can fully interact with the phone (as if the screen was on). For example, pressing talk twice redailed my last call. Pressing power prompted to shut the phone off (could hear the "blurp"), etc.
So, after shutting the phone off (or resetting with pinhole reset), the display works fine while it is displaying the "Cingular - Raising the Bar" nonsense. As soon as that screen is done (where it would have normally showed the today screen), the screen just goes off...
Any ideas?

nevermind, when I put it under a bright light I realized the screen was on, the backlight was just off... somehow I must have hit some shortcut to turn the backlight off.

Don't sound too relieved...
Say hello to the Backlight bug.
You're backlight will keep setting itself to the lowest setting after every soft-reset, when you let it go into stand-by itself.
I'm still sufferering from it. It started when i first installed PocketZenphone.
So just want to give u a warning. Everytime you reset your phone, remember not to let it go into standby itself. Either tap the power button and turn the screen off, then turn it on agan. Otherwise, the Backlight will go to low again.
Searched and searched but couldn't find an answer.
As the title says.... I can still see the display is on and its responding to my inputs but no backlight at all.
Have tried adjusting all backlight options disabling and enabling them to no avail.
always start to happen at 50% power then every 5 or so secs it turns off so i need to press the power button twice to turn it on again but have it turn itself off if i left it to idle for more than 5 secs.
Settings currently for on battery at dim backlight 30secs, power off 1min. on AC dim at 1min, power off at 10mins
Comforting thing is when playing videos with coreplayer, backlight remains on.
Anybody any ideas?
started when i flashed back to official 1.66 after mtty and now am on merlion 2.4 also after mtty. could it be that i always flash at the 50% to 60% power mark??
Currently draining my batt to see if it is the batt sensor's problem....
Hi all
I've installed quite a lot of ROMs and found lots of them have the option to dim the light and then turn the screen off pretty quickly (like 10 sec). I know that going to Power / Advanced I can change those times, but apparently only the dim is changing.
For instance... by default the screen in my current ROM (made by Topix) goes off after 10 sec. So, after 5 sec the light dims and then after 10 sec all goes black. Fine... then I change the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for:" to 30 sec, and what happens is the light doesn't dim, but after 10 sec the screen goes off.
Does anyone how to change this? Is VERY annoying :-(
Thanks
I have owned many Android devices over the years. Every one except my Nexus 7 would dim a few seconds or so before completely turning off the display. However, my N7 just turns off when the screen timeout timer expires. Every time it turns off, you have to use the power button to turn it on. I much prefer the behavior of my other devices when it comes to the screen timeout. Is there a way to get the N7 to dim for a few seconds before going off completely like my other devices do?
