Hi
I was wondering if someone can assist me with probably a simple issue.
During the night my phone is alway on charge and during the night I may receive a text message, whats app message or even emails and notice that my display stays lit until I manually press the power button.
Is there anyway in the settings I can set it that when its on charge it will dim the screen or switch it off.
When Its not on charge it performs fine.
Could it be I need to use an app to resolve this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, i've had my XDAII from O2 for 3 weeks now and have a few questions.
This morning when I woke up the XDAII's power/charge light was 'red'. According to my O2 manual, it's 'amber' when charging, 'green' when fully charged, and 'green flashing' when phone is on.
I pressed the Power Button and the XDAII sprang to life as usual, no apparant problems (ie no error messages or anything).
Any clues what red signifies, have searched but not found any answers yet.
Many thanks in advance.
PS device has latest O2 UK ROM (v1.60.50).
it means you missed a call.
i found it to be an extremely good addition over the XDA, in that you don't have to turn your device on to see if anyone called you. You'll also see a phone+exclamation mark on your taskbar. The red light will disappear when that icon is clicked.
I'm not sure if this also happens when the caller does not transmit their number.
so:
Green non-blinking = on cradle, fully charged
Yellow non-blinking = on cradle, charging
Green flashing = device on
Red flashing = missed call
Adding to this, it is not set up by default to flash red when you have received an SMS or mms.
But you can change this behaviour from the Sounds and Notifications options on the device.
And this is much more handy, in that you can then send a text to a friend, switch your phone 'off' (i.e. power off the screen etc), and only a glance at it is necessary later, to know if you have had a reply or not.
Great in noisy environments, or in a car etc.
Red Light Stays on even after dismissing reminder
I have my XDAII set up to display the RED light for a reminder (An Alarm). However, if an alarm goes off while I am away from my XDAII then the red light remains on even after I dismiss the reminder. In other words it is not resettign to Green. The only way to reset it is to do a Soft reset. HAs anyone had the same problem or have a solution?
yah I've had the same problem that my red light stays on after an alarm goes off, really annoying that you have to soft reset or play around in the the notification settings and then it disappears
For some reason my screen just dims instead of turning off when I dont use the phone. If I press the hang up button it goes off like normal but if I just set it down it dims and stays on, draining my battery... Has anyone else experienced this?

I take it you've already checked your backlight settings in Settings, Power ?
Yes and I have done a soft reset as well. I'm not really a "phone guy" so I hope this is something easy to fix....
Hello,
The way I have my device setup to get round this problem is this:
Go to Settings>Sound&Display> then scroll down until you see Display then click on Backlight.
On the page that appears, scroll down to "On Battery Power". Here put a tick in the box "Dim Backlight..." and set the time you want to allow before this function kicks in (mine is set at 2 mins).
Next, move down to "Turn off Device..", put a tick in here, and then set how long you want the device to stay on for before it goes off (mine is set at 3 mins).
You can use whatever time settings you feel comfortable with. Please note that it is the setting for "Turn Device Off..." that will blank your screen for you. The other setting simply dims it and leaves it running, as you have said before.
If battery performance is an issue for you, take the tick off "Automatically adjust backlight" and put in your own settings. So here, for example, I have my backlight on battery permanently set at 30% and on External Power, 60%.
The screen is so big you get blinded at anything above 60% (well at least I do).
Hope this helps.

screen not turning off...during call via BT-headset
Hi guys!
My screen does not turn off even during phone call via Bluetooth-headset.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
anyone?
Today I was texting and when I got a text I would grab the phone and try to type but as soon as I got to the phone the screen turned off. seemed like the timing is like a few seconds too short. Is there a way to change this setting? It's not the normal screen timeout. Thanks in advance.
on a side note... has anyone found a way to turn off the battery notifications for low power and fully charged.
I received lollipop earlier this week and ever since then when I get a new notification for a email or text message for example my phone's screen doesn't turn on. My LED notification light will turn on, but that's about it. I'm using the stock lock screen for the record. Does anyone know if there is a way to change this? When I'm at work I keep my phone on vibrate and the screen turning itself on is what usually gets my attention.
If anyone has any input on this situation it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Hello,
I just got the S8 and can't figure out how to get this to work. Whenever I get a text I'd like my phone to wake from sleep (screen wake up) like iPhone. I don't want to turn on the Always on Display.
So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
