I noticed the screen will stay lit until I unlock it if I have a missed call. This really drains the battery. Is there a way to set the phone so when I have missed calls/messages the screen doesnt stay lit, killing my battery? Thanks!

If you turned off the "puzzle drag" lock screen feature than the light will stay on forever until you unlock the screen. Turning this feature back on will solve this glitch. Samsung really shoulda left the whole Touchwiz sillyness off of this phone.

That's a silly reason to leave it completely off.
I don't ready like the puzzle lock so I have it off. Isn't there a way to fox it with out turning puzzle lock on?

Hey guys,
I don't know if this is possible, but I kinda like how with the BlackBerries you can put the phone in your pouch and it will shut off and it will turn on when you pull it out.
Well, what if we used this concept with the Touch Pro. My idea is that when you get a text message, your phone turns on in your holster right? What if we made it so that the phone stayed off (kinda like how when you get an email), but then it enabled the light sensor so that when you pull it out of your holster, the screen turns on. Then, once you're done reading the text message and you throw the phone back into your holster and it shuts the screen off.
Am I just fantasizing too much or is this actually possible? Let me know what you guys think?
you can allready turn it off, q2 how will you read a message @ night?
There is something like that, it uses the Gsensor and Light sensor. It is actually a locking app called Pocket Shield. when its locked and u pull it out of your pocket or holster the light sensor detects the light and turns on the screen and unlocks. http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/

Yeah, but the only way it will unlock it out of the pouch is if the screen is on. Anyway to do it in standby mode? I assume if the screen is on it will drain the battery.

You can try TouchLockPro. This automatically unlocks using the light sensor. Just press the Power button to make the screen on, it will default be locked, till you or the light sensor unlocks it.
I love this phone, but when I'm messing with it at night with all the lights turned off, usually the bottom softkey lights are bright as hell. I was wondering if any devs can put an option to where the bottom softkey lights only last for only a couple seconds.
Just asking, thanks in advance!
in the power options widget you can set the brightness.
you can also turn off auto-adjust in Settings->Display
fyi I've had the same problem when i turn on the phone after waking up, my eyes feel like they are on fire when the screen turns on at full brightness.
He's talking about the softkeys I think. There is an app that can change it and we at the mes forums have a mod to extend it but idk if you can shorten it.

If you're rooted and have rom manager jt has tweaks for it.

Yes but the above fix works as well. Since the DL09 update the screen timeout is linked to the softkeys. So set the screen timeout for less time. Besides optional kernals there is no other way I know of.

Setting the screen time out would affect how soon the screen AND softlights turn off, which wouldn't be any help to him because i believe what he is asking for is a way to turn off the softlights only while the screen remains on. Ever since dl09, the softlights stay on as long as the screen is on, where before with di01 and such, the softlights would only remain on for a few seconds while the screen was on and then they would go off. Im jot sure there is currently any way to turn softkey lights off while screen is on, but the mods that jt1134 has in rom manager might work.. but they were designed for di01 and dj05 and meant to actually extend the time that the softkey lights stayed on while screen was on.. as most people complained that the buttons could not be seen at night or in dark and wanted them to stay on (hence the fix for it in the official dl09 release) so there's a good chance that they won't work on dl09.

yeah, sorry guys. I meant the softkeys at the bottom. I loved how they would turn off after only a couple seconds, but I hate how it stays on for how long my screen time out is. Bothers me and I just want to go last for only a couple seconds instead of the screen timeout duration itself.

I totally agree with you, and would love to find a way to revert to the DI01 way of them only staying on a few seconds after use. Hell, I'd settle for turning them off all together so they never light up - in the daytime, you don't need them, and at night, I pretty much know where they are anyway.
I wish I could figure out how to keep mine on. I'm running dl09 and idk if I installed a kernel or theme that caused the issue but once my screen dims the lights go out and won't come back on until I physically touch them. They used to turn on once I touched the screen.

I agree; there should be a mod to turn off soft key lights
i was an early adopter of the Atrix and i've noticed that ever since i've been on a gingerbread ROM, the LED won't come on while the screen is still on. this is extremely annoying since it used to do this on Froyo, and i've even tested it in Handcent and it says our phones won't allow it.. has any one else experienced this?
Let the lightflow.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Lightflow will alow the LED while the screen is on in root mode but then it only does half your colors for some reason..
I only use 4 colors. It works for me screen on or off. Except when testing. Screen has to be off.

Funny, cause i don't recall the led EVER blinking when the screen was on. I mean... why would it have to? If the screen is on, you more than likely have the notification bar right there to tell you what's going on.

I don't remember that either. (LED staying on when you turn on the screen)
The only thing that is different for me is when I was on original stock Froyo compared to the update afterwards.
The original stock kept the LED on forever, and the update definitely shortened that. I used to like looking on the nightstand to see if the LED was on, now it kinda defeats the purpose of it...

well maybe you don't get enough notifications to notice but it actually makes plenty of sense to blink while its on if for example you are playing a full screen game with haptic feedback turned on and you can't discern a text vibration from the game and you'd like to know if you got a text
My lock screen keeps turning on every few minutes, I don't have any notifications or any reason that I can see why it would be turning on. It just turns on to show met that it's turned on I guess. I get a flash of the light effect, then it turns off 1 or 2 seconds later. It happens every few minutes. Any idea?
Most likely quick glance. Do you have quick glance turned on under air gestures? Does it show a quick glance of notifications and time or is it the actual lockscreen

I have all of those sensor settings turned off, so that's not it. It's the actual lockscreen. I do see a glimpse of the light effect, it's like something is touching the screen to wake it up, but I know for a fact that nothing is touching the screen!
All of my settings are off besides wi-fi, mobile data, screen rotation, and sync.
Great phone but, it appears to be a bug with the screen dimming.
Regarding settings, I have everything turned off. Adapt display is off. Auto-brightness is off. Auto-adjust screen tone is off also.
I know Samsung displays dim if the phone overheats but my phone will auto-dim even if the phone is cool.
What I've found out is that the phone will only dim "permanently" when the screen is about to shut off.
For example: Set the screen shut off to 30 seconds and around the 28 second mark, the screen will dim for a couple of seconds before it shuts off. This is where the auto-dimming will "permanently" kick in. When the screen dims at the 28 second mark for a second, i'll touch the screen so it doesn't shut off. But by this time, the screen has dimmed already and won't go back to the regular brightness. I have to lock and unlock the phone for the dimmed screen to go away.
This scenario has happened every single time. Extremely annoying.
Anyone else experience this?

Hi
As the other user said it might be the software bug.
Please try this app. Disable your auto brightness and install this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite
This lite version is free. Try this. If everything works, you may consider the paid version to support the dev guy...
