Screen Getting Dim after timeout but not turning off. - Xperia Arc General

Hello,
I am using ARC S with DoomLord's Kernel and JJ's Hybrid 3.2 MOD.
After 15 seconds my screen get's dim but it doesn't turns off completely.
I have tried many different settings but nothing worked.. Pls Help.

Solved, there was a download running in background which was causing this, i stopped it and all went good.
is there any way to make it turn off even when a download is running ?

Press the power button.

I know about power button, the problem was without pressing it screen was not turning off

Looks like there is no option to select to do sleep on/off.
that's what i actually need.
When phone is off, i can turn it on with reset hole. I don't need to be able to turn off phone. reset is enough.
I only need it to go to and off sleep. Now i am running it always on which is draining battery fast, couple of hours even with brightness lowered to 20%.
plsssss
I did try what brandonledski mention. but looks like it will only turn of screen but not on.
i could make you a shortcut under start menu for the power options as im not sure about being able to map it to another button
How i will turn on screen then ?

settings/system/key lock
and set it so no keys are locked

so now we have a half solution
wait,... i got it!!!
i assigned left button hold for screen off on,... looks like its working!!!!
im testing it now,...
EDIT
Hm,.. i am using Phone Alarm and its adjusted to Shut Down after 15sec. If its shut off automatically with Phone Alarm i cant use AE Button to turn it ON. Hm i guess these are different functions?

AE Button only works when your phone is on, to cold boot your phone you would have to hit the reset button

So i guess ill adjust Phone Alarm setting not to shut off display, leave ON, then do it manually every time i need with AE buttons
EDIT:
Hm,... so i adjusted Phone Alarm not to touch power options,.... AE works for ON/OFF Display, but looks like when its off for some time i cant turn it on any more,.... only if i am switching it off/on one after another
EDIT: Actualy problem was Auto Locking app, as soon as phone is locked i cant ON any more,.... ill try to see if i can add exception in this auto locking app ( its CSDevCtrl APP)
Lock all buttons was an option available for older devices, which should still be available via reg edit (as brandolenski mentioned). I'm gonna try that myself.
AE Button kinda works but battery is draining faaaast.
If i can somehow resume phone from `Shutdown` mode which is set by Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) that would solve problem. This mode i guess put phone in Stand-By (save battery) not only turn off display as in AE Buttons

as in it goes back to sleep, then every now and then it flashes for like 1 sec, then goes back to sleep to conserve battery

no, it's not. the phone is completly turned off! then you press on/off button rapidly, and the screen flashes
Uh... I don't feel like powering my Nexus off to test but why do you care? It's probably firing up the display thinking you're about to turn it on but then you don't hold down the button long enough so it just turns the display back off. Why would you ever want to do this lol... at least with this phone you have to hold the power button down a few secs to turn it on unlike the nexus one, which just turns on at the slightest press of the power button (annoying)

How about you don't press the power button rapidly. There is absolutely no reason why you should be doing that. Its like saying "When I try to drive my car on its roof, it won't go!" Well of course not you sod. Just don't do the thing that is pointless and silly.

EXACTLY! same thing i feel. OP is making a big deal out of nothing; not even sure why you would try and push the power button fast when the phones off.
how hard can it be to understand, let's make a guide:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Press the on/off button a couple of times
3. look at the screen, is it flashing white?
I noticed this last night when i turned the phone off, i didnt do it on purpose.
So can someone please try because im worried thats something wrong with my new nexus!
Thanks
Just to satisfy your curiosity, I can confirm that mine doesn't do what you're saying.

my phone does not do that
you press the button once when it's off it will continue to boot all the way into the OS even if you hold or quickly trigger happy pressing the buttons all crazy it does not make it flash

First off, I can't reproduce it and I'm not going to waste any more time trying.
Second, here is a guide for YOU!
1) You accidentally did something silly to your phone and got a strange result.
2) Don't do that again.
3) Continue to not do the stupid pointless thing again.
4) Continue to continue not doing the stupid pointless thing again.
5) Continue to continue to continue not doing the stupid pointless thing again.
6) Stop trying to convince people this is a serious issue and get on with your life.
7) Realize that there is nothing wrong you just did something stupid with it and are continuing to try to reproduce the stupid thing you did once to prove that its a problem instead of avoiding the stupid thing you did once and getting on with your life.
To the OP: does it flash when you don't have the battery in? Just want to make sure... heh.

[Q] Display turn on with delay

Hi all,
had issue after kitkat update, my display always turns on with delay 2 - 3 seconds when someone call.
Someone has the solutions for this.
It´s really annoying.
Thanks a lot
Same here! Very annoying even when the screen turns on eventually it is always on min. brightness and then slowly brightens up
Tried Hard reset - no go!

The brightness thing is what really annoys me. When you turn the screen on, it's always at minimum and you have to wait a second before it brightens up!

I think that is the stock ROM bug. I am on 20a version, can someone confirm this with stock ROM newer version? Did LG fixed this?
Have a similar problem with my SGS3 and drives me crazy.
Does this also happen when using double tap and the hardware power button too?

Nice point. @rafael1369 As RocketSauce mentioned it; its the option of Voice Assistant. ''Dark screen'' is the option's topic and Explanation is: Keep the screen turned off at all times for privacy. Double press the power key to enable or disable this function. Hopefuly you can find it and switch it off and get back the shiny screen is on Btw; It doesnt work on mine lol(custom rom).

It doesnt need to go recovery bro. Just touch the screen and it will guide you to the Topic which I and Rocketsauce mentioned in post #4 and earlier. Swipe your finger on the display and find the settings, to enter » doble tap. Go on with swiping and follow the directions in post #4. All you need is touching and listening and double tapping into the correct topic.
Btw try double pressing to power button, long or short, try different combinations. Good luck.
Edit: Allright guys @alanloax @rafael1369 Here is a video of the explanation recorded by myself, I cant be more clear than that. You all need to do it in the darkness, first disable dark screen or voice assistant its your choice.

How do I disable do not disturb?

Problem:
Phone in my pocket, volume down gets bumped into. The next 3 hours I won't get any notifications. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
How in the world can I disable volume down activating do not disturb while the screen is off?
First, the power button has to be bumped first, then the volume down button (various times). Too much bumping.
get a case

The power button does not need to be bumped.
While the phone is sleeping (screen off + short wait), press volume down either once or twice and it will go into do not disturb mode. I can also put on full volume while it's sleeping as well.
Tried what you said. Doesn't happpen to me. Using stock rom.

Issue has just came back. Restarting the phone makes it go away. Seems like we have found a solution! I'll keep a log of how often this happens here.

Which rom are you using? Is Double tap to Wake enabled? Are you using an app to lock the screen? Maybe that app is not locking the screen initially but displaying a black image for a short time before turning the display off.

Stock rom.
Ambient display is disabled.
No App. It did this stock out of the box
RMA would be a better option.
Problem has come back! a week delay this time
I would love an option to disable it on the phone entirely I never use it anyway and it occasionally gets turned on by mistake and I end up missing calls.
Found this in another forum - change DND priority settings to allow calls and messages from anyone. Should fix it!
