Screen Always on when charging

Anytime I have the K-Jam charging, the screen never goes dim, the backlight is always on. I have selected 5 min shut whether on internal or external power..?
What am I missing..?

Start->Settings->Power, then click the "Advanced" tab. ensure a checkmark appears in the setting for "On Battery Power" (e.g., Turn off device if not used for..").

It will shutdown when connected to a wall charger, but will never dim when connected to a computer via the USB.
Is this a known issue..?

its not a error, its how it should be, when your connected to computer, its not inactive, activesync is constantly running and watching what you are doing.
If anything, you should cancel your activesync process to disable this and also cancel the activesync on the device.
Alternatively, you can try just dimming the screen after inactivity.

My device randomly turns its screen on whilst charging

I've got a Universal with all the default ROMs and whatnot. I plug it into my PC overnight to charge. I have it set so that the backlight turns off after 5 minutes when connected to external power, and it normally does so. However, it seems like it turns itself on again at random points (it does turn itself off again). I cannot discern what it is that is causing it to turn on, the only relevant thing I have running is ActiveSync and it isn't busy syncing.
Has anyone got a clue why it might do this?

mine will switch on when it's downloading e-mails.

ActiveSync wakes the PDA up at regular intervals to see if it needs to sync, its something you have to live with.

in power settings, the default is to turn on while being charged
have alook at power management in settings

Touch not going off

Hi all
For some strange reason my Touch's back light will go off, but the screen itself will not turn off.
Any ideas, it's killing my battery if I forget to turn it off manually.
Thanks.

Well.....I'll start simple....have you checked to make sure 'turn off device if not used' is checked and you have a reasonable time limit set like 30 secs or a minute? You'll find this under start-->settings-->systems-->power-->advanced. Check to see if it behaves the same way on A/c power too.

I just double checked the settings and all is still right. Funnily enough the screen did go off afterwards. It just seems to do it every now and again. Did Microsoft carry over the need to restart every now and again from XP

Hmmm....you know my phone does that too sometimes. But I've noticed it only happens when its charging or on A/c power. It stays on for a bit longer after the backlight has turned off.....and I've had to wait for upto 3-5 mins for it to turn off. Perhaps your phones doing something similar.

Mine also does not go off when plugged in, but that's because I set it not to (in power settings).
I found my phone completely dead this morning ... any ideas??

Power off during activesync

Hi everyone,
There is something strange going with my X1 (WiMo 6.1). While i have my phone connected to my pc for a sync the phone switches off after 30/40 seconds when i do not touch the screen...
This behavour is new and i don't know to get it back to the before state that is during a sync or being connected to the pc the phone does not switch off...
Is there a setting to change this?

Does it go off completely?
does it vibrate and shows Xperia Logo @ SE logo when turning it on again?
if not, then it might be only standby mode, where the mobile is still functional but turns off the LCD for power saving, a small press of the power button will turn it on again.

It does not reset, but just powers down. Goes off. It looses the active sync connection and when you switch it back on it has to regain the active sync connection. Wich is wvery annoiing because you have to keep tickling the X1 to stay alive when you want copy some data to the device...
Any idea how to change that behavour??

was it like this the first moment you tried to sync it? or it started behaving like this? if it wasn't, then it might be a software you installed.
if you can try to hard reset (make sure you backup your mobile) then try to sync.
i think there is some conflict between active sync and another software.

Is this 30/40 seconds timeout your normal timeout for going standby?
If so, maybe the setting in "Settings - System - Power" to not charge the X1 when connected to a PC is active.

Hello,
I had the same problems, wheter using active sync or usb, and even more.
No usb connection, the display did not dimm - it went directly to standby - cutting all the connections (wifi etc). I did not find out, but I think it was some programm I intalled, after a hard reset and only installing what I think what I really need, no problems anymore.

[Q] Prevent WP7 sleep/standby while charging/on cradle

Is there any way to prevent turning off HD2 while charging / on cradle?
I need it to see clock 24/7 while my device is charging.
Now if I connect device to the PC it goes standby (while on lock screen, when the time is displayed), even if "screen timeout" is set to never.
Thank you!
