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?

Backlight Issue

I have recently had to hard reset my phone and for some reason the backlight only stays on for a matter of seconds. Can someone point me in the right direction of increasing this please. I do have Xperia Tweak installed and can't see the setting on that either.
Cheers
Try settings, system, power, advanced and then change the time out for backlight there...
remove HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ACTimeout & BatteryTimeout
Soft Reset

I have tried this, but there is no save or apply button so when I check back it has returned to 10 seconds...

What does this do make the backlight never turn off?

No This remove your 10secs problem... After restart enter in your backlight settings & set correct values.

hmm thats odd as when I change the setting and then tap ok in the top right corner it saves it for me and retains the setting no problem...
I think it has managed to save the settings now... Cheers

I use S2U2 and don't have this behaviour.
Sorry
Tony
i don't use S2U2 but it's happened to me a few times before. I reset the phone afterwards but every now and again it happens. No fix?
Hi
You may be able to resolve this by using advanced config and setting the "resuming timeout" values under the Power options to around 15 seconds.
What is probably happening is the phone wakes up in unattended mode (it still looks off) and it sends a start vibrate signal, however the phone then goes back to sleep before it has chance to send a vibrate stop signal.

Phil

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

[Q] Display turn on with delay

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?
