Has anyone else had this problem?
My phone is currently set to Display sleep after 30 seconds. What has been happening is the display will dim after 30 seconds, but won't turn off. Sometimes it will turn off after another 30 seconds. Sometimes it will just sit and stay in the dim state without shutting off.
Is there anything I can try short of a full reset?

While on battery -
backlight set to turn off in 30 seconds, and power management set to turn phone off in 1 minute. at 30 seconds, the backlight gets dim, but doesnt actually turn off (weird). At 1 minute it turns the phone off as it should.
So the backlight isnt actually turning off when it should.
next....
While plugged in -
Backlight set to 1 minute turnoff, power set to turn phone off in 2 minutes while on external power. At one minute, the backlight goes dim (not off again), and the phone never actually turns off, just stays on with a dim backlight screen.
Any ideas as to why the backlight wont turn all the way off? This just started when i flashed the GPS ROM.
Hi all
I've installed quite a lot of ROMs and found lots of them have the option to dim the light and then turn the screen off pretty quickly (like 10 sec). I know that going to Power / Advanced I can change those times, but apparently only the dim is changing.
For instance... by default the screen in my current ROM (made by Topix) goes off after 10 sec. So, after 5 sec the light dims and then after 10 sec all goes black. Fine... then I change the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for:" to 30 sec, and what happens is the light doesn't dim, but after 10 sec the screen goes off.
Does anyone how to change this? Is VERY annoying :-(
Thanks
My screen always cuts off after being idle for around 10-15 seconds. It doesn't matter what I set the timeout to, it cuts off if I don't touch the screen for 10 seconds, even when I'm moving the phone around! The only fix I found was to enable caffeine, which is annoying when my screen accidentally turns on and never shuts back off unless I manually turn it off (like when my phone is in my pocket or a bag and I don't notice the screen is on). Does anybody know what to do? I already tried resetting and that didn't work.
I don't use AOD
When I receive a text, the screen lights up for about 1.5-2 seconds and then turns off, not enough time to read it or try and click it unless I'm not distracted, anyway to increase that time to 5 seconds?
Found an app that seems to do the trick for me

I have set the display timeout to 1 minute of inactivity, and 30 seconds to lock after sleep, however my phone turns off the display after 10 seconds or so, but definitely less than desirable 1 minute. The "lock" appears to work fine (locks after 30 secs after the screen is off, just as set up). I'd really like to extend the time of inactivity, since 10 secs is not enough. Please advise.

Try changing to 5 minutes instead of 1 minute.

Thanks. I have tried several intervals up to 30 mins, including 5 minutes. No luck. The screen goes dim in about 7+/- seconds then turns off a couple seconds later. I have to constantly touch it to keep it on which is annoying. The power button brings it back on without authorisation if pressed in under 30 secs (lock after sleep).
Exactly the same behaviour when plugged in and charging.
Some people here complain about their phones not going to sleep unless power button is pressed. I am experiencing exactly the opposite problem. My phone goes to sleep sooner than it should.

Try rebooting your phone. If the problem still exists, then i assume that a factory data reset will solve it. Not sure though.
