I have a Galaxy GT-i9505 S4 and whenever the phone is fully charged, I plug out the micoUSB charger cable from the phone FIRST and then after the power charger adaptor from the power outlet. Thats the way to do it according to the user guide.
But, after doing all that after its charged, the phone's screen stays on and the Screen does not time itself out even though I set the display to time out after 30 seconds.
It does time out after 30 seconds whenever I tap something or do something on the screen, or nornally after doing tasks on the phone, it does do its normal time out after 30 seconds.
But I dont know why it did not time out after a full charge session.
Thanks.
I had a smiliar problem, the screen never shut off when connected to a power source. I think somehow the Android debug settings got transferred from my last phone.
These are not the exact words (I use Swedish) but it should get you where you need to go.
Go to Settings - More - About - click "Build nr" until you get a prompt saying Developer options activated - press Back - Developer options - Uncheck "Stay awake".
Hope that helps.

Stay Awake was already UNCHECKED.
And just to understand here, the screen itself DOES shut off during charging, but the screen remains ON after unplugging it from the charger. And the only time the screen times out, is after when I press or do something on the screen. or after normal operating usage.
I just noticed that after I unplugged it from the charger, then I went to another room to do something and this was way longer than 30 seconds, and came back and the screen was still ON.
But, AFTER normal operating usage, the screen always times out after 30 seconds. So, thats OK. No issues there.
I had the problem with the no longer automatically / manually turn-off display and for me it was rename / delete the bootsamsung.qmp in system / media / the cause, soon to rename them or delete the display turns of not more itself off or even manually by button ...
is reproducible, but why no idea, when an idea who likes because nothing is even now what you would normally get in touch oO

Hi all
For some strange reason my Touch's back light will go off, but the screen itself will not turn off.
Any ideas, it's killing my battery if I forget to turn it off manually.
Thanks.
Well.....I'll start simple....have you checked to make sure 'turn off device if not used' is checked and you have a reasonable time limit set like 30 secs or a minute? You'll find this under start-->settings-->systems-->power-->advanced. Check to see if it behaves the same way on A/c power too.
I just double checked the settings and all is still right. Funnily enough the screen did go off afterwards. It just seems to do it every now and again. Did Microsoft carry over the need to restart every now and again from XP
Hmmm....you know my phone does that too sometimes. But I've noticed it only happens when its charging or on A/c power. It stays on for a bit longer after the backlight has turned off.....and I've had to wait for upto 3-5 mins for it to turn off. Perhaps your phones doing something similar.
Mine also does not go off when plugged in, but that's because I set it not to (in power settings).
I found my phone completely dead this morning ... any ideas??
I just received my DHD and as soon as I inserted the battery, it powered on by itself. I plugged in mains for a long charge cycle (I don't want to use it while charging).
I want to power off for real but it seems that when I press the power button even for prolonged time, it just goes to standby. I want to charge it while powered-off. How do I do this?
I didn't have the chance to play with Android before so here I am asking easy questions I guess.
Try with this:
Tap the power button on the upper side of phone for few seconds, then you will see on the screen new window with three possibilities - power off, aeroplane mode and restart. Choose power off. Then you can charge your phone.
Other possibility - work/play with your phone till the battery is fully drained and the phone will switch off itself.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
go to settings applications and disable fast boot

Thank you all. That's what I was doing but I guess that the screen was locked and it didn't work. As soon as I unlocked the screen and performed this procedre it worked. I just didn't want to start working with the phone until it is fully charged and that's why I was trying to switch off without entering the phone.
If you don't disable HTC Fastboot you phone isn't really off, just hibernating.

Good point but I had to go through all setup steps until I am able to configure this setting. Anyway, I was planning to leave the phone charging untouched for several hours but I guess that wouldn't be possible.
My phone boots back into clockwork recovery even when fastboot is disabled.
Apparently the DHD uses the recovery to display the charging LED (orange or green), so when you replace the recovery with CWM attaching the charger when the phone is off will start CWM.
Is anyone having this problem. I have an a70 250gb when I push the power button it stays lit even in deep sleep. My battery drains completely overnight. I don't want to power off when not using for short periods of time.
I had the same bug as well with my 25ogb, but for some reason after a full reset it seems to be gone...
I thought at fist a program might have caused it, but i've reinstalled the same apps and i don't have this problem anymore..
I too recently developed this problem where the LED light stays on and keeps using power when in standby. I thought it might be some app I'd installed but thought it might sort itself out so after a week without improvement, I did a Reset, without result (except for losing another 32MB to the Swapfile). So then did a Reinitialise, also without result. To be clear, I didn't install any apps and still the thing won't go to sleep anymore. Any idea's?
Well looks like we're at a loss... I got the same bug on my a101. Battery drain isn't too serious though, but still it just boggles the mind.

I have the same problem and it happened around the same time my USB port died.
I've been waiting until the shop where I bought it has stock again to return it for repair/replacement. I think this is related to the USB dying.
It's happening the same with my 101. The led stays on when it goes to sleep, even after stopping all the processes using the Archos OS Monitor tool.
After a reboot seems to work OK; the led turns off in standby mode after five seconds more or less.
I haven't used deep sleep yet.
Maybe some application is causing this?
I installed only a few apps and firmware is v2.1.08:
- Aldiko
- Angry Birds (of course)
- DroidWall
- ES File Explorer
- Google AppsWidgetsoid
- SiMi Folder
- Zuma's Revenge

Have you checked the right tab "Wake locks" in the Archos OS Monitor?
Yes, I did change to this tab once and the list was empty. It appeared and disappeared a process very fast, so fast that I couldn't read the complete name
Good hint!
I get this sometimes on my 101, but a reboot seems to sort it out, Its got to be a process or app running in the background I think.
The best answer on the ArchosFans forum was :
My gut reaction is that you'll see this happen when you have the USB host problem because that issue happens when the power regulator chip in the Archos dies. And nothing can be done other than an RMA with Archos.

I verified this and my USB port was indeed not responding, so I've swapped it at the store and the new unit is wicked
Re: Power Button Staying Lit (Possible Fix)
Ok here's what I did after checking that the USB port was not the issue(worked fine with a usb flash drive). Check the following location
Go to: Settings-->Location & Security-->Use Wireless Networks
Description lists it as "See location in applications(such as Maps) using wireless networks)
If it is enabled, disable it. I turned it off, went pack to my home screen Soft press the Power Button for Standby Mode and the power LED is off within a few seconds.
Worked for me, Hope it works for you
Yeah, I have the USB host problem too, and it does seem like that is the cause. Argh, I don't want to go a week without my A70. D:

Confirmed. Hell, didn't know that would work O_O.
Thanks!
No luck for me - it was already off, and toggling it on then off didn't help, even after a reboot.
Nothing in the wake-locks list, and my host USB port is dead.
I see an RMA coming.
Hi for some reason I cant get my TF to turn on! It was working fine all day. I left work and placed the TF in sleep mode (hitting the button) When I got home about 15 mins later, I hit the power button and nothing. I read about the Sleep of Death but this is the first time Ive had this. I try holding onto the power button for 10 seconds and then releasing it and then held it for another few seconds and nothing. I even try holding the power button for one mins and then releasing it and hitting it again and nothing. I had bout 35% battery life before heading home.
I plug it into my notebook and i get the prompt the auto play message on windows 7. double click on the TF TF101 icon and I cant see any folders. On the asus sync program it tells me no device is found. While its plugged into the notebook I held onto the power button and I get that sound coming from windows (usb sound) then I get a sound coming out of my TF and the auto play message pop up. I cant even get it to go into recovery mode (vol down + power) I am on 3.1 leaked and no root. Any other suggestion before I call Asus. Thanks
Try charging it for a few hours, the battery might've drained due to some apps keeping wifi on for the whole time (using WakeLock)

Thanks. Doing it right now. Its weird when I have it plug into my notebook. While holding the power button it will disconnect from my notebook (no longer visible in my computer) then pressing the power button again its pop up with the auto play message and i get a sound from the speakers of the TF...one of those default sound on the TF. (new email alert sound) but the screen is still black. I also trying hooking it up to my TV to see if I could get a picture and no...
OKAY got a picture now with the hdmi input but no picture on the TF. I have the pattern lock screen. do i disable it? I am able tole move around but trying to find out how to disable the pattern lock screen.
yea maybe you just drained it too much. i bet a long chargewill remedy this

I am at 50% and still no picture on the tf. Now when I try to enter my pattern for the lock screen its turning red not green like before....wtf reboot and still cant get in.
Just to share, a similar but less drastic thing happened when i got mine.
Tried it at the shop for about 5 minutes just to check everything worked fine. Packed it back into the box and took it home. About half a day later, at night when i officially unboxed it,it refused to turn on. no sound, no lights, nada. when i turned it off at the store, it still showed about 50+% battery remaining.
Same thing if i attached it to the dock.
So i left it stuck into the dock (just so i can confirm that it's charging) and left it to charge for about 15mins (while worrying that i might have a DOA TF).
The light was a steady amber from the get go, meaning >95% charge.
Anyway, left it to charge for about 15-20 minutes while trying every combination i could think of, short, 10 seconds, 1 min, more than 1 mins..
Long story short, after a while, it booted up with a 10second press of the power button.... left it to charge overnight (>8 hrs first charge) and it's been fine since.
Good luck with yours.
Okay reboot again. and its not take my pattern for the lock screen. touch the first circle and its red. and it tells me to try again...wtf....normally its turn green on the circle (the first one) now its red.
Looks like my screen is dead....smh.. I am able to see the lock screen via hdmi but its not taking my lock pattern. Every circle I hit turns red (error I guess) I dont know what else to do. I try doing a factory reset (volume down and power button at the same time) but I cant get a display on my tv when i am trying to access his mode. I called Asus and got a RMA... Just wondering do i need to send in the wall charger and usb cable too? Before sending it in does anyone know what else I could do??? Thanks
Hello,
I tried searching around the forums but was unable to find a similar problem, so let me describe the problem:
Plug USB3.0 cable into the phone to charge overnight.
Screen immediately lights up because of the charge connection, I press the power button to turn off the screen
Upon returning a few hours later or the next morning the phone screen is on (all night long)
I have the following settings on the phone:
screen timeout set to 15 seconds
"Stay Awake, Screen will never sleep while charging" is turned off under developer options
phone is NOT rooted
Any other ideas on what's going on here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have Noticed this behavior as well,
Funny thing tho... I clicked "stay awake" in developer options... then do the same as you... plug in the charger, turn off the screen... and now it stays off :silly:

Interesting, I tried what you suggest...Anytime I get a text the screen does come back on and it now stays on so this doesn't quite do the trick for me.
Thanks!
Mine stays off...sounds like maybe a rogue process. Check and see what has the longest process runtime...If it's a user installed app delete it. That doesn't I'd say factory rest

I was getting this behavior, the screen was turning on and off (basically flashing) when I got a text message. I finally uninstalled Textra and that resolved it.
I haven't tried another 3rd party text app, yet.
My phone Screen stays awake all-night what can I do to fix it ?
What did you do to break it?
Presuming this is new behavior, what did you add or remove?
