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
What would cause the XDA to come out of standby mode, and put the screen on and stay on.
I push the power button, but 30+ seconds later the unit decides to switch itself back on.
I think it some application causing this, but any ideas would help.
I have a XDA Neo and the battery life is not really the best, so I keep in standby (hit the side button so the back light and LCD is turned off). But the only way to get the LCD back on is to hit the power button. Is there a way to get the LCD to come back on along with the back light by just tapping the screen?
You can off just the screen rather than put the phone in standby mode. You can use psShutxp or other program (aplenty) to do it.
But this drain battery. Alternatively, unlock all you button so that you can power up your ppc by any hardware button press. That's what I do. To protect against accident power up, I install S2U2 so that a slide on the screen is required to unlock, else it will go back to sleep mode in x min.

How would I do that? What will it shut off?

I only have a Hermes and not familiar with your device but if it running Windows Mobile 6 then you probably can just turn off backlight but prevent phone from going into standby mode.
Start -> Setting -> Backlight
In there you can adjust the setting and timer for the backlight
Start -> Setting -> Power
In there you can adjust the setting for standby or disable standby mode.
Disabling the standby but keeping the backlight on timer should turn off the backlight but the LCD screen will stil be active and will wake on the touch.
One negtive thing about touch screen LCD that is putting it in your pocket may keep repeatly turning the backlight back on and drain your battery quickly without you being aware of it.

I do have a option to turn off the back light only and not put the phone into standby. But my LCD stays on(without the light) which sucks down the battery life.
I tried out sShutxp, but it only turns off the phone and has no option to turn it back on.
Well, I got the next best thing. I assigned the #1 button to Display Switch. So it turns the display on and off.
I don't know if it's just my feeling, but when I set the lockscreen to 5 minutes after turning the screen off, i notice the battery drain goes up about 10 mA in standby. If you don't know what I'm saying, there's a feature in JDMS build to set how time will it be after you turn off the screen before the screen is locked.
I am wondering if it is possible to configure my hermes to wake up from sleep using the touch screen.
After the phone went to sleep, by pressing the power button for example, I could just touch the device to wake it up. I don't think pocket dial is such a big deal, I could use a lock screen to prevent that.
Only solution I found is to configure windows not to turn the device off. But I think the battery will drain faster if the device can't go to sleep mode.
Any thoughts?
