Touch to Turn on screen

I have a XDA Neo and the battery life is not really the best, so I keep in standby (hit the side button so the back light and LCD is turned off). But the only way to get the LCD back on is to hit the power button. Is there a way to get the LCD to come back on along with the back light by just tapping the screen?

You can off just the screen rather than put the phone in standby mode. You can use psShutxp or other program (aplenty) to do it.
But this drain battery. Alternatively, unlock all you button so that you can power up your ppc by any hardware button press. That's what I do. To protect against accident power up, I install S2U2 so that a slide on the screen is required to unlock, else it will go back to sleep mode in x min.

How would I do that? What will it shut off?

I only have a Hermes and not familiar with your device but if it running Windows Mobile 6 then you probably can just turn off backlight but prevent phone from going into standby mode.
Start -> Setting -> Backlight
In there you can adjust the setting and timer for the backlight
Start -> Setting -> Power
In there you can adjust the setting for standby or disable standby mode.
Disabling the standby but keeping the backlight on timer should turn off the backlight but the LCD screen will stil be active and will wake on the touch.
One negtive thing about touch screen LCD that is putting it in your pocket may keep repeatly turning the backlight back on and drain your battery quickly without you being aware of it.

I do have a option to turn off the back light only and not put the phone into standby. But my LCD stays on(without the light) which sucks down the battery life.
I tried out sShutxp, but it only turns off the phone and has no option to turn it back on.

Well, I got the next best thing. I assigned the #1 button to Display Switch. So it turns the display on and off.

Problems with Keypad Lcd

I know this problem has not been resolved yet. However I read that if you boot android when the keypad lcds are off, they will stay off. That is my problem. Im unable to boot android when they are off because they stay on for the duration my screen is lit, in other words, they only turn off when my screen turns dark. To wake the device up I must press the buttons which turns them on again. How did you guys work around this?

the keypad backlight is only on for about 10 seconds...
if this isnt the case you have installed a little tool that it hangs together with the lcd backlight...

my keypad lights don't turn off at all for some weird reason..
also my orange led at the top stays on always..

are you using the latest zimage?

You should try to look in the startup folder of windows. It might have keypadledcontrol.exe which makes it "keep on" while the display is on. Just remove it from ur startup list and you are done. now the keypad will turnoff after 10 sec (by default - configurable through registry).
I hope it sorts your problem out.

[Q] Screen on while charging

I was just wondering if the screen on the LG G2 is supposed to remain on if you plug it in for charging?
I'm running stock UI and after plugging it in, when I wait for the screen to time out it goes to a live wallpaper and other themes I've tried seems to do this as well. I can't find any way to have it time-out normally to an off LCD screen. I'm just afraid that with the screen on that it will affect the charge time.
It seems that I can only get the screen to turn off by pressing the power button. If I try to knock off, it just throws the phone back to my lock screen.
Is this normal? If so, is there anyway to set it so the screen turns off automatically while charging?

How to disable phone dim before it goes to sleep?

After using my S4 phone, when I leave the phone alone, it will stay at normal brightness for a while then it will dim (lower brightness) for about 5 seconds then the whole screen will turn black (sleep).
I want to disable the dim. How can I do it? I want it from normal brightness to turn black (sleep).
Thanks
(It is irritating during the dim because I can only press the screen to make phone to return to normal brightness and I tend to press wrong stuff as screen is dimmed, or no empty area to press. Anything pressed on screen will still take effect but I actually do not want to press anything. When it is black I can use power key to turn on again to normal brightness without pressing screen.)

Anyone know?

It does not work. That does not affect the dimming time. The dim I am talking about is the 5 seconds just before the screen turn black

Do you want the display to stay on is that what you are asking?

I think he just wants to set the dimming duration to zero. But yea I don't really see any sense in this...
Why don't you just turn off the screen timeout as deakodude said? If not, even if the screen is dimmed, there is always a way to bring the screen back to "full brightness" (ex. by touching two times the menu button or just swiping across the screen, which usually won't trigger any actions).

I do not want to turn off screen timeout as I am happy to read the screen and then let it on for some seconds then shut down.
Read this and it will make sense: It is irritating during the dim because I can only press the screen to make phone to return to normal brightness and I tend to press wrong stuff as screen is dimmed, or no empty area to press. Anything pressed on screen will still take effect but I actually do not want to press anything. When it is black I can use power key to turn on again to normal brightness without pressing screen. Sometimes I am still reading message/map when the screen dims.
"by touching two times the menu button" > this is correct, but it is troublesome
"just swiping across the screen, which usually won't trigger any actions"> this is wrong. During the dim, anything key or anything on screen touched is still working as normal.
Please note: As stated in the thread clearly. Dim I am talking about is the 5 seconds that is lower brightness than usual, it happens just before the screen turns completely black. After using your phone, leave your phone alone untouched and look at the screen until it turns black, you will sure see it.

[Q] Lock screen lag

Hello xda, I updated to latest lollipop BOC3, when I press lock button, screen lags at locking, It is not a big problem but it drives me crazy. and although when I press home/lock to wake up phone captivate buttons flicker and then screen turnes on (buttons are always turned off) I think this is hardware problem because searched at forum and no threats... anyone has that problem ? sm-n910 c 5.0.1

Maybe your buttons are always off because you have it disabled in settings...Go to Settings/Display and wallpaper/Touch key light duration and set it to whatever time you like...

Well then I don't see a problem here...unless your capacitive buttons turn on even though you set them to "Always off" ? The lock screen lag is there, but it isn't that noticeable to me.Sometimes it is, but rarely...

Our you referring to the faint flicker of the captivate buttons even with the setting off,I turned mine off but can see a faint flicker when waking phone up.

I take it no one else has this issue?

@alexowen @Raver27 @Ashatar I have same problem guys, captivate button flickers even when it is turned off when I wake my phone and second problem on LP is lockscreen lag which irritates me, when I lock screen first brightness goes down and then screen turnes off, this is hardware problem not software

I like the capacitive button lights, like it so much i set the time for: 6seconds before dimming. Tho i can understand if it flickers on n off instead of just an on, i would want it off too. The lag on the lockscreen must be like 2-3 seconds? i dont have ir on mine. It's like 1 seconds, which is nothing.
