Hello,
In the past I am sure that my display screen went off after a certain time during a phone call (saving on battery life). I have noticed recently that the screen stays on the whole time, regardless of call length. I have looked through all the settings I can think off, and can't seem to find one relevant to auto screen shut off during a call.
I have installed Pocket Bluetooth Tools and PocketZenPhone (previously I was using Myhonerofiles).
Is there a setting I am missing, or some software that I can use to have an auto screen shut off during a call.
Many thanks for any help.
The screen will not turn off if Bluetooth headset is being used.
Normally, the screen will not turn off if there is any serial port activity (like while connected through activesync)
Are you sure that in Settings/Backlight/Bttey Power: the "Turn Off Backlight" option is selected?, it should be selected to turn the device screen off after 30 seconds or so.
I use a car kit running on bluetooth, and the screen goes off after 30 seconds!
I've set both the power and the back light to go off after 1 minute. There is not normally a problem and the screen powers off ok, unless I'm on a call (with or without a bluetooth headset).
There is an option in JGUI Phone Profiles that does this.
If you no longer have it installed then you won't get that effect.
When I uninstalled Phone Profiles I missed the screen off option so much I reistalled it just for that.

So does mine.
After installing Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT), my screen won't turn off while on call. If I do turn it off during a conversation, my bluetooth headset cuts out while the other person is still on the phone and won't be able to recover it until I hang up.
If I have the timer working for the PBT, then my autoshut off will work, but that's after I change the timer from 60 seconds to 10 seconds in the registry. If I disable the timer, the autoshut off will work. So if you don't want to play around with the registry, then I suggest leaving PBT timer on.
But either way, if the timer is on or off, during a call, it won't turn off automatically with PBT installed. I like PBT because I was able to quickly connect to my headset faster than the built-in MS Bluetooth Stack.
I guess its a case of balancing the use of Pocket Bluetooth tools with the power saving function of having an auto screen cut off during a call. I'm not sure what is more important to me just now.
I am reluctant to return to My Phone Profiles. I am really enjoying the latest version of PocketZenPhone. I think I will make a request to have autoscreen included in a future version. Who knows, I might get lucky!

IF you have Pocket Bluetooth installed, then while on call, it will not automatically turned off. But if you turned it off manually, while on call, it will cut out from the bluetooth headset and I find no way to get it back yet.
Hi everybody.
I recently installed Pocket Bluetooth Tools on my M1000 and overall I find the utility excellent. I sync my M1000 at both home and work so removing the necessity to rebond everytime is excellent. Additionally, enabling a 60 sec Bluetooth period before switching off is also a handy facility.
However, I have one query.
The developper describes a Profile 1 and Profile 2, both of which are visible on the Today plugin screen, which can be user-defined to such options as "bluetooth always on" or "bluetooth switches off after 60 seconds" etc.
This would be handy to use however to date, I have found no method of actually accessing a "profile editor tool" or something similar. There's no Pocket Bluetooth Tools icon in either Programs or System, I can find no executable file on m M1000 anywhere so I now find myself in a position where I cannot turn Bluetooth on for more than 60 seconds unless it's doing something.
Any ideas? I've tried emailing the developper but with no response to date.

Just put it on #1 then adjust the power settings for the screen etc, and click on the little clock on the Today screen. This will make the bluetooth stay on when the clock is greyed out.
Switch to number two and adjust the power settings for the screen etc and you will have two different power settings.

Cheers for that. It really is that simple. My mind works too technically sometimes!

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.
Regards,
Arto.

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...
Hi,
I found this program that allows you to turn off the backlight without having the phone in a sleep mode (called switch display). I am trying to link this program to audio manager so that when I listen to music the screen can be turned off but I can still use the audio commands easily. (My phone would not turn off because I use the exception on the S2U program for audio manager)
If it is not possible, maybe there is a way to use some registry tweak where instead of having the backlight being "off" through the phone program, it can be done by the switch display program. That way we can set it to turn off screen after let's say 1 min.
Any suggestions?
Anybody? Suggestion?
i use HTC's audio manager without S2U2, and when i listen to music it doesn't go into sleep mode but the lights go out... it's a default..
How is it set? I can't find any settings to do that. And my light never goes off (black) just dim.
Not sure if it is phone dependent. I have a tmobile wing with touch it 2.3 ROM on it.
go to power/screen settings and set everything you want over there. if it doesn't consider the exact thing you want i'm sorry..
Yeah not working, it dims it but it does not turn off the screen completely.
Use psShutXP and choose turn off display.

I can press the power button, but then I have to push it again if I want to do simple things like increase volume or change songs. With just the display off I can do this tasks easily.

I am using it but I was tring to use it so that it could start automatically when using audio manager. I figured out I could maybe just map switch display to a button. Thaat's the best I can do
Personally I use WMP with VC, I love it! Very easy, but some people think I'm crazy when they hear me yelling NEXT into a headset.
I use my 614c as a Wifi-walkman using GSPlayer layer as a streaming audio player. This works well, however the battery life is very short because the phone never turns off the backlight but rather only dims it down. GSPlayer has a turn off display option which turns off the LCD but not the backlight. I suspect that this feature works correctly on other PDAs turning off the backlight but on 614c it just dims down.
Has anybody successfully been able to turn the backlight off while the phone is active? There is the "standby" mode where it turns off the backlight but that means that the phone just sleeps and it looses its wifi connection. You can't use this mode while listening to MP3s.

May be you can try Slide 2 Play and use this trick :
The behaviour of S2P can be altered by changing the following registry values stored at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2P\
- OffLCD - the no. of timeout seconds that S2P will turn off the screen when using battery; default is 25.
