Hi,
I'm getting grey hairs here... My HD keeps shutting of the LCD after about 1 minute.
I've disabled every power saving settings I have found in S2U2, the HD Tweak program and in the System/Power settings, but it keeps shutting of after 1 minute. It's a bit annoying when using it as a GPS while your driving.
And, talking about driving, this drives me crazy!
Does anyone have an idea of what I have missed?
Cheers,

For some reason my device has suddenly started switching to the minimum backlight setting whenever it's switched on. If I go to the backlight settings and then adjust the slider it will stay at the selected brightness until it switches off. When it switches back on again it's at minimum brightness and I can hardly see the screen!
This started happening after I installed and then removed PocketZenPhone.
I don't really want to hard-reset the device unless I absolutely have to - does anyone know what registry key sets the default switch-on brightness?
Thanks,
I dont have the solution but I have had the same problem intermittently. Can be really aggravating in the dark because it can be hard to get to the proper screen to increase the backlight. Hasnt happened in a while. Have not been able to figure out what triggers it. Have not installed PocketZenPHone. Curious if anyone has an explanation.
yah, i've noticed this to, sometimes i'll hit the power button to take it off standby and the backlight would be off. first couple of times it scared the hell out of me cuz i thought the screen had broke or burnt out.
also i noticed the version of spb pocket plus i'm using (3.04 build 4195) doesnt adjust the backlight brightness.
Now that you mention it. the SPB Pocket plus backlight does not work for me either. Strange...
Well I think I've managed to "fix" this by setting the following;
Backlight Settings:
On battery power, turn off backlight if device is not used for [5 min]
Turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped
Power Settings
On battery power: Turn off device if not used for [3 minutes]
I think the key thing here is to have the device auto-switch-off BEFORE the backlight timer kicks in. Since setting the above three settings I have not had the same problem again.
Ill give it a try as well.
Hmm...maybe someone can help me. One day, my backlight timer settings when the PDA's not plugged in reset to 10 seconds (in the registry it has it as 7 seconds). I'll go in and change it to 2 minutes (the original setting I had it at), but the minute I turn it off, it resets back again to the 10 seconds setting. I even tried going into the registry and changing it, and it resets it back to 10 seconds. I suspect it may have something to do with an entry in the "scheduled tasks" but it looks like a complete mess. Is there some kind of scheduled tasks cleanup utility?
Thanks,

hello i have the same problem using phothet with WM6
Thanks

I had the same problem often about 15 months ago - it happened often each day.
I posted herw but had no joy with a solution - but then found one on Modoco (i was looking about March/April 2006).
Even with that - it has still done if perhaps five or six times since - and basically makes the phone unusuable if it happens somewhere or time with poor light.
My KJam backlight keeps changing by itself to dark
Suddenly my KJam backlight always turns to low without me doing so, then I have to change it to high, barely can see what I’m doing as it is almost black. This is kept happening especially after I installed Pocketweather. I reinstalled the Rom, it worked fine then suddenly it is back again when I switch the screen off, or automatically it is switched off, the backlight slider I find it at the lowest end.
Why thus is happening, it’s driving me crazy, please help me
Hi all,
I've searched high and low for a solution to this and am desperate to have a resolution. My problem is when a text message comes in my phone wakes up and doesn't go back to sleep/standby. I have disabled all notifications when an SMS arrives, but still the phone ignores this and wakes up the screen and doesn't disable it again (quickly draining the battery).
Does anyone have a solution for this? A registry tweak/software package?
Thanks
Why don't you set it up so that when the phone is idle, it turns itself off? THen if you get a text, the phone wakes, but will go back to sleep assuming it is idle.
I do
It already has that setting -- 60 seconds = power off, it seems to not work after an SMS has come in.
I also have the phone in my pocket so it's never "idle" for 60 seconds because it generally touches the screen, etc in the pocket.... but even when on the table the backlight stays on after SMS...
VERY FRUSTRATING
No idea?
It would be enough if the SMS-Income sounds, but no wake!
Once i tried automatic screenlock after wakeup, but this is annoying too.
I'd like to know a trick how to disable wakeup after SMS.
Maybe s2u2 could solve this for you.
I guess post title says it all..
Whenever I start a phone call, the screen goes off...it is very annoying.
Any way to stop that behavior ?
I have searched this forums with no luck.
I am running Modaco's 2.3 ROM on an unbranded hero.
I have tried using Powermanager tools to define a 2min timeout in the "screen off during call" feature but with no luck.
thanks for the help!

There is an app called shake awake which wakes up the screen during a call when you move it away from your face.

Thanks. i'll give a try but the bad reviews are scaring me.
Is there a setting anywhere for that screen turning off while on call ?
i didn't liked "shake awake" the calls got dropped when the phone "shaked" sometimes i had to call the same person 3 or 4 times because the call ended. first i thought it was my phone but the problems started after installing shake awake. after i removed it my phone worked again
Keepscreen does the trick. Works absolutly great. The full version is able to keep the screen on with every application. Very handy when reading mail, browsing etc. You must set youre screenout delay in settings from the phone to 30sec.

I'd like an app that actually does kill the screen as soon as the call button is pressed. Sometimes the Hero is too slow to turn off the screen and you hang up the call with your cheek.
Thats annoying.
When using the supplied headset during calls my screen will dim and as soon as I start speaking it becomes active again leaving it open to respond to touch. Anyone else experience this?

Nobody?
Is this question too stupid to answer?? I just would like to know if its normal for the phones screen to seemingly turn off and on while making calls with the headset. Im not a headset guy so I have no idea? But I have accidentally hung up on my wife twice now (yes accidentally) because the screen stays on/active.
Yeah I notice that just when using it regularly...takes ages to dim or turn off. Odd for sure and an oversight it seems
Yes, I had that a week ago, the Screen timeout actived for 3 seconds and led up again.
Then i reallized that I had batterytime lite Icon and Task Killer Icon on Status Bar.
Just I removed them and thing were back to normal again.
So give it a try, hope that helps
Hi all,
Kind of a strange issue I'm noticing with my Nexus 4. The phone seems to, by default, have a screen turn-off time setting of "after 15 seconds of inactivity" for the display options. I tend to like to have my screen stay on a little longer especially if I'm in the middle of a conversation or I'm watching something and my attention gets diverted momentarily. 15 seconds is just way too short. So I change it to a larger value, like 2 minutes for example, and the setting keeps, for a while. But every so often it will start turning off quickly again and when I check, sure enough it has reverted back to 15 seconds. I'm not sure what's causing this... an app? An errant setting with the phone? Weird bug that has yet to be fixed? Rebooting the phone does not seem to solve the issue, nor has anything else I've tried to this point.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
