Hi
I use my Lg g watch (the square one if that matters) with the option Screen always on, but I want to know if there is a way to turn of the screen while charging as is useless, I know that I can go to the settings disable the screen always on, and so but there is a more "automatic" way to do it?
I think you can change this in dev options, if you have that enabled. But I'm also pretty sure that if you leave it alone long enough the screen goes off. I'll test that later

Doesnt shut off at all. What the hell? Anybody have an idea?
There are TWO backlight settings, really. The first dims the screen after a set amount of time (found in Backlight settings), and the other turns off the screen entirely after a set amount of time (found in Power settings).
I, too, have found that the backlight just goes down to a very dim setting, but I haven't found it to have much of an impact on battery life, since I have the device set to sleep after just a minute.
And what about listening to mp3? Is it possible to listen without backlight on?

Software solution: Pocket Player for WMppc. You have the option to turn off the display yourself or after a certain amount of time it will turn the display off for you.
NEXT!!!
Clarification
Hey people your responses are still quite confusing. Let's make things finally clear:
SuperRob: So it's there an option to turn it off completely or not?
NeoDMD: Have you tried it on Herald?
Thanks
Answer
I finally got mine so I can answer the above for those, who may be interested.
1. So there is no option to turn the screen completely off and still not to put device tosleep in the settings.
2. Yup, Pocket Player is able to turn off the screen as well as the freeware utility ScreenSwitch.
So so far, everything is great
I know I know..
Holy old thread revival batman!
but I'm having this same issue does anyone have the cab files to make one of these work. The screen being on all the time cuts down my battery life and makes the phone get warm
I love this phone, but when I'm messing with it at night with all the lights turned off, usually the bottom softkey lights are bright as hell. I was wondering if any devs can put an option to where the bottom softkey lights only last for only a couple seconds.
Just asking, thanks in advance!
in the power options widget you can set the brightness.
you can also turn off auto-adjust in Settings->Display
fyi I've had the same problem when i turn on the phone after waking up, my eyes feel like they are on fire when the screen turns on at full brightness.
He's talking about the softkeys I think. There is an app that can change it and we at the mes forums have a mod to extend it but idk if you can shorten it.

If you're rooted and have rom manager jt has tweaks for it.

Yes but the above fix works as well. Since the DL09 update the screen timeout is linked to the softkeys. So set the screen timeout for less time. Besides optional kernals there is no other way I know of.

Setting the screen time out would affect how soon the screen AND softlights turn off, which wouldn't be any help to him because i believe what he is asking for is a way to turn off the softlights only while the screen remains on. Ever since dl09, the softlights stay on as long as the screen is on, where before with di01 and such, the softlights would only remain on for a few seconds while the screen was on and then they would go off. Im jot sure there is currently any way to turn softkey lights off while screen is on, but the mods that jt1134 has in rom manager might work.. but they were designed for di01 and dj05 and meant to actually extend the time that the softkey lights stayed on while screen was on.. as most people complained that the buttons could not be seen at night or in dark and wanted them to stay on (hence the fix for it in the official dl09 release) so there's a good chance that they won't work on dl09.

yeah, sorry guys. I meant the softkeys at the bottom. I loved how they would turn off after only a couple seconds, but I hate how it stays on for how long my screen time out is. Bothers me and I just want to go last for only a couple seconds instead of the screen timeout duration itself.

I totally agree with you, and would love to find a way to revert to the DI01 way of them only staying on a few seconds after use. Hell, I'd settle for turning them off all together so they never light up - in the daytime, you don't need them, and at night, I pretty much know where they are anyway.
I wish I could figure out how to keep mine on. I'm running dl09 and idk if I installed a kernel or theme that caused the issue but once my screen dims the lights go out and won't come back on until I physically touch them. They used to turn on once I touched the screen.

I agree; there should be a mod to turn off soft key lights
As the title suggests, I am trying to figure out how to leave the screen on when being charged/plugged into charger. I often have music playing at my desk at work and prefer to skip some songs. Kind of sucks having to unlock the screen each time.
I think the media dock allows this since there is a setting in the dock section. I was surprised that it was not in the display or battery section.

There should be a developer menu setting to keep the screen on while charging. Keep looking.
If there isn't, or if you also want to specify the display brightness and timeout while charging and when on battery, you can use Tasker, or an app I wrote last year -- ChargeBright -- that ONLY does this.
If it's known for your phone model you want a 'whitelist' this has engineers/developers numbers and is probably under a setting especially for testing etc

It may not be exposed in the menu, but the system setting for it is still there.
I have my display (using my app) set to go to 100% brightness when plugged in, and to turn off after 2 minutes idle; when I unplug, it reverts to auto brightness and whatever the old timeout was (10 seconds iirc).
And, yeah, my Captivate's 22-month OLED has burn-in in the high-contrast top&bottom areas, but it's only noticeable when the screen is completely white.

Yeah I didn't think about the burn in issue. Guess I will learn to live with it. Thanks for the help all.
My display will dim down to half of the brightness it was set at and will not brighten back up. To get it to brighten back up I either have to turn the display off and back on or touch the brightness slider. Any ideas on how to get this to stop? Display is set to standard, Adapt display is unchecked. Everything is turn off with Smart Screen. Auto Brightness is unchecked. I am running NC2
This is super annoying!
Happens to me too. I also am not able to turn off or restart my phone. It gets to a point where the menu button and back button are lit up and the blue led is lit at the top with a black screen but stays that way until i do a battery pull. All this started after going to nc2. Tried different roms and didnt change a thing.

Try increasing screen time out a little longer.
Just to see what happens

My phone screen would turn on to show the clock only over a black background when let's say I throw in on the bed or put down "not gently". Does this happen to everyone or is this a feature Google added?

yes, you can turn off that feature... Settings-Display-Turn off Ambient Display.
that's cool that this setting can be turned off, but with the setting turned on mine does it without even moving. I set it down, it does the screen/clock thing, turns off, then just keeps doing it what seems randomly. Anyone figure have that problem?
An app could be causing that behaviour. In my case I found it was LightFlow, I uninstalled it and no more strange behaviour from the Ambient Display.

I get this too! I want ambient display set to on (so when I pick the phone up, I can quickly see the time, without unlocking it) but I don't understand why when it is flat and still, there is this random, intermittent screen clock thing

I had the same issue with Lightflow. Using Light Manager now.
I've noticed having notifications will have the screen coming on every few seconds even though the phone is not being moved. Had this happen on my Nexus 6 as well.
