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?
H
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.

Do you guys also have it that when you sync via bluetooth and you switch your phone off, it comes on again after a few seconds.
Now I don't want this as this drains the battery. It should stay off and sync.
Media Player still plays when the screen is off, can't remember where you change those settings.
It's like that. Indeed, it would be nice if there is an option to turn off screen completely but still connected via activesync to save power.
You can turn off the backlight of the screen to save power.

Take a look at the PHM PowerTools suite. That's a bunch of small utilities, one of them is a screen-turn off utility. Not just backlight, entire display is off but device is on the go.
Where can I download this PHM Powertools? I have searched on Google and found nothing, except a lot of links where they mention it in forums etc.
I use MortSaver to lock the screen. Free download here: http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/wmpdownloads/viewcat.php?cid=7
Is there a tool that disconnects bluetooth when i turn it off with the power button (and the device stays off) and reconnects when it is turned on again?
How about the alternative bluetooth stacks - do they have the same behaviour?
The "turn on" feature is really annoying...
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........
does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong with this thing?

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....
is it normal that the backlight is always on when synced to activesyn via cable?
yes because its charging aswell. you can turn it off in backlight settings in, settings > system > backlight.

This setting does nothing for this problem.
I have this exact same problem with my HTC touch. WHenver I plug it into the PC to sync, th ebacklight comes on. I turn it off with the power button, but it comes back on about 30 seconds later. Rinse, repeat.
ActiveSync seems to want to keep turning the screen on. Since I want to sync and charge my phone overnight this is not good for me, I am worried about it reducing the lif eof my screen not to mention the wasted power.
Is there any way to disable this, to tell the phone to *NOT* power up the screen while synching? Or at least disable the backlight?
This question is being posted all over the web - no one seems to have any answers.

Don't worry about it, LCD screen have a long life-time.
You change your phone before it dies.
If you still want to turn off the screenlight, but keep sync on, you need to use 3rd part programs, like "DisOff"
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...
