So this problem has been going on for the past 2 days, and its very perplexing. Any help would be much appreciated.
For whatever reason, my phone has stopped automatically turning off after X minutes.
I'm talking about when you go into Start, Settings, System tab. There's options for automatically turning off the backlight after X amount of minutes (one option for when its using battery, another when its on AC Power).
The backlight auto off works just fine. After 1 minute, the screen goes semi-dark, but not blank.
What's not working is the Power setting, where you go to Power, then Advanced, and then both battery power and external power, you can have the device turn off if not used for X minutes. I've tried 1, 2 5, 10, and none of them seem to work.
The device only turns off the backlight, but then remains on, draining the battery at incredible speed. I need to manually keep hitting the hardware power button on the right side of the device to get the screen to go off completely.
Any help, ideas, suggestions? Thanks!

Are you running custom or stock rom, have you thought about possibly doing a hard reset. besides adjusting those settings have you tried something else. Was anything instlled just before this started if so what....I know thats alot of questions but it might help..
I thought dimming the screen was the manufacturers idea of turning off....mine has done that since day one. I too have tried everything and thought that was normal.
Hmmm, Mine dimms then turns off IE: 1 Min to turn off I'd say 30 Seconds it dimms and 30 seconds later it turns off.....
I'm using a stock ROM, havent installed anything "new" in the past few days. I normally run a bunch of various programs though, but I wasnt having this issue before.
I did a hard reset. Everything was fine. Then I ran a backup and it reinstalled all my programs/files/settings, and issue returned.
So its obviously being caused by oen of the programs I use, I just dont know which I guess.
Edit- Upon further investigation, I *think* its Palringo. I removed it completely, and everything seems to be ok again
Hi all,
There are 4 options in Power->Advance to set the duration to turn backlight off and power off when the machine is idle (2 for battery, 2 for external power).
Don't know after using which application(s), I found that the first 3 options will sometime 'unchecked', and this cause my HD keeps power on un-notice.
Of course it is not a big deal, but just drain my battery........anyone got the same problem??

Orion PDF and StyleTap are the only things you list that I don't have on mine, and my Nook's batter lasts much better than that. Do you turn WiFi off when not in use? How do you put it to sleep (leave the screensaver to come on, push and hold the 'n' key, use Button Savior's soft power button, or push and hold the rear power button to turn it off entirely)? I use combinations of the first three, and always turn off WiFi when I've finished with it.
First step would be try removing those apps, recharge to 100% and see how it lasts after.
If that doesn't fix it, restore your backup and return it to stock and see if that changes the behaviour. If it doesn't, your battery is probably bad. I think there's a lot of new old stock being shifted at the budget prices right now, and LiOn batteries only have a nominal lifespan of ~3 years from manufacture.
Hi All,
I recently purchased a DVP8 and I love this thing. Problem is, it suffers from wifi issues in that once it goes to sleep, the wifi automatically goes to "limited" and I need to retoggle the wifi setting to get it connected. I've tried all kinds of fixes - uninstall windows updates and reinstalling drivers, but to no avail.
So I basically said screw it, and set "sleep mode" to never on the power management option, and no more wifi issues. Seems like the wifi doesn't reactive properly when coming out to sleep mode. My question is - will this damage the tablet in the long run? In terms of battery life, I would think the main factor is the screen on time. I can just turn the screen off with a tap of the power button. Is there really that big of a difference?
Thanks!
Pretty sure on tablets like the DVP8, tapping Power is the same as letting it go into Sleep through inactivity (called "Connected Standby"). Most Atom tablets don't have a different sleep mode than that, not even just turning the screen off. I haven't checked on the DVP8 specifically, though; maybe it's different from the others...
It won't damage the tablet to stay on all the time, so long as you aren't running the battery all the way down. That does damage it, a bit.
So I got this s5 a few days ago from my friend...moment I got it I noticed that it overheats a lot,for example 5 minutes of browsing and the cpu temp would go up to 70 degrees celsiu,also the screen got really hot.Yesterday I also noticed that the screen has a burn in,which is common for amoled,but then I thought that maybe battery is causing all my problems. Tried to charge it with original sammy 3.0 charger,it goes to 100% but never shows the green led and batt full sign.When I restart the phone batt goes to like 95-94%. So what do you people think?

How to Fix Bad Galaxy S5 Battery Life:
1. Find Apps Eating Up Your Battery
2. Disable Unnecessary Services
3. Restart the Samsung Galaxy S5
If you start noticing weird battery drain and or your device starts heating up, you should try performing a reset to see if that returns things to normal. Most of you know how to restart the Galaxy S5 but we’ll remind you anyway. Hold down the power button, confirm that you want to turn it off, and then hold the power button down to turn it back on.
4. Start Using a Black Wallpaper
There are tons of them out there. After you’ve downloaded one, go to Settings -> Wallpaper -> Home and Lock Screens -> More Images -> set your black Galaxy S5 wallpaper.
5. Start Using the Device’s Built-in Features
You’ll also want to start using the Galaxy S5’s built-in battery saving features. Power Saving Mode is a good place to start, and Ultra Power Saving mode is an even better option when you need the Galaxy S5 battery to last longer than normal.
These features allow you to block background data and turn on grayscale mode which can help to limit the amount of juice being sucked up. You can also slow down the processor, reduce screen performance, turn off the lights on the buttons, and turn off GPS to save battery life.
We also recommend getting familiar with the the brightness slider. The screen can suck up a ton of battery life so you’ll want to monitor the brightness of the screen if you’re starting to notice bad Galaxy S5 battery life.
6. Replace Your Launcher
If none of these fixes work, there are three other drastic solutions to try. The first is to replace the TouchWiz launcher on the Galaxy S5. The TouchWiz launcher has been known to hinder performance and it can be replaced. There are tons of different launches to choose from though the Nova Launcher is one of Android’s most popular choices.
7. Downgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat
If that doesn’t work, you could try downgrading to Android 4.4 KitKat. A Verizon Galaxy S5 user recently put together a step-by-step process on how to move back from Android 5.0 Lollipop and those interested can find the instructions here. This isn’t guaranteed to fix your issues but it’s worth a shot if you don’t want to wipe the device or if none of these fixes have an impact.
FIXING GREEN LED LIGHT
Go Settings -> Display -> LED indicator -> Charging has to be checked.
You can also try factory reset. This will fix all kind of bugs.
LED light is showing while charging...but only red LED,it never shows the green light even though the batt is full...this is just basic stuff that you told me...but anyway thanks.
