Hi all, for a couple days my display is not going off when I'm talking. i tried to get the battery off, then put it back and I had this - my display was going off the second I press the call button, than the only way to switch it on was to press power button...after 2-3 times it got the same - doesn't go off when talking. Stock rom (2.3.4)
This may sound weird, but have you checked your Display Settings? Go to: Settings>Display>Screen timeout
Make sure that "Never timeout" is not selected. That could help....?

It is not turned on, it set for 15 secs.
Are you rooted? One thing to try would be a factory reset.
It got fixed somehow, by itsself ...

ive been very happy with my Touch Dual, but there is one thing that bugs me loads! If im running a program, and i turn of the screen (press the power button), when i turn it back on, im taken back to the home screen. This is really annoying! I was testing pointUi, which proved pointless, as whenever I turned on the screen again, i was taken back to the standard HTC Home Screen.
Is there a setting or something for this ive missed?
Cheers!
sorry i dont really know much but you can just go on to the running programs list and open it quite quickly
i assume you just wanted it for coming straight on to the program but im not sure
in settings->today->items
there is a checkbox named
Today timeout with a dropdownbox which set
the timeout time
you could try to uncheck the checkbox and see
if it still does it
another thing that results in the same effect:
the device lock unter settings.
if its activated (doesn't matter what time is set), waking up the device brings yout to home.

i kind of have the same problem. but this brings me to another question. what does that checkbox do? minimum one hour timeout?!
anyway. i am using a kaiser, and when the device goes out of "standby" (pressing the powerbutton) im brought back to the today-screen.
but as of the previos post. this does not happen when the device locks after 5 minutes and i type in my simple pin. if the device locks i am brought back where i left it... (i.e. gsplayer)
well one would asume that unchecking the checkbox would disable the return to today screen
and the dropdownbox beside it's content would only be enabled if the checkbox was checked
I've checked the box in alimentation menu, to turn-off the screen after 1 minute of inactivity and to decrease light of the screen after 10 sec. but if I reset the phone cause some new installation requires, the HD forget to go in standby mode and let with ligh decreased...why?!?!?!
has it happen to anyone other?
what can I do?

So the only way to go to sleep is to press the power off button? This might drain the battery if you forget to do that. What if the device is waken up when there is a new email? It won't go back to sleep after that?

You are not the only one who has noticed this.
Obviously there's a registry hack to alter the settings but you would still have the same problem albeit with different settings.

check if in notfications menu you have checked for 'misses call' or other events to turn-on the screen for some minutes
a hard reset seems to have fixed it
saying that it doesnt work when plugged in, backlight is off but display still there
THanks, i have check notifications and removed all the 'Flash Light for xmins' settings
did you perform an hard reset?
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!

Go in to your main settings page, look under "display" (where you change your timeout) and see if you have "smart stay" enabled... this uses the front camera to see if you're near your screen and if so it keeps the screen active..
Just tossing out ideas... maybe stupid ones.
Did u do the *#0011#* WiFi fix? This happens to me after I change the sleep settings. Seems to fix itself after a while without a reboot though.
my screen never turns off and I think that's because of trackball.....how can disable it? thanks
check this first
Screen never turn off?So how you turn it off?Always with Power button?BTW,check this first
Go to,
Settings> Display >Screen timeout.I think you have set it to Never Turn Off.So set it to 30 seconds or whatever you want man.

thanks but it's not because of this. after hit thelock button, the screen stops for a second then starts again ... and so without stopping
I would also like to disable the trackball. It has been acting haywire. Makes typing a pain.
