I guess probably a lot of people here have the auto rotate app installed. it make the screen go landscape at anytime when you rotate the phone, even with lock screen.
I noticed that if i turn off the phone(or go to sleeping mode), then rotate the phone, then click any buttom, the screen comes on in landscape mode!! !!!
This means even when it is in sleep mode the app is still working!! So if you put it in your pocket walking or something, it may have rotated itself hundreds of times!!!!!
What i want say is, if there's any program running when you turn it off, they may be still running in sleeping model???
No, it does not mean that. It only means, that when the key is pressed, before the screen is turned on, the orientation is detected and screen refreshed.
There are several levels of sleep mode. Generally in sleep mode everything which can be turned off is turned off. If no application is working at the moment (all applications wait for input), even the CPU should be on standby.
GSM module is usually on.
But if some application is running, and you enter sleep mode, it is not really sleep mode, only screen is off. WM do not suspend running applications.
They can however close data connection and AFAIK HD2 is configured that way. But it can be changed in the registry, and on my X1 it is not like that (only WIFI is turned off). So for example if I run skype, and then 'sleep' the device, it runs, and it communicates, and it can eat battery in few hours.
Which applications runs and when, if the G-sensor is on, or if the lock screen is drawn and refreshed, it is really hard to tell. I guess some software for this might exist, but I don't know about it.

Following your logic, It should come back in portrait mode if the device was sleeping and you hold it up vertically. So the fact that it wakes up in landscape mode means that the device was not in completely in standby when you did rotate it.
first the sleeping mode or 'turn off' mode i mean is pressing the 'hang up' buttom. The software is called Gryator 2
What I found was, when the phone is on, if I rotate the phone there is approx 1 sec delay. But if I rotate the screen in sleeping mode and then press any buttom few seconds later, the screen comes on instantly as normal and is in landscape. If it is as per you said, there woud be a 1 sec delay, woundn't it?
And also if listeniing to music, press the the 'hang up' bottom, the music stays. I had a XDAIIi, very old.. if press the on/off buttom, music won't stay. i had to just turn of the screen.
This make me wonder, what stays on, what gos off in the sleeping mode.
As HD2 does not have the true 'on/off' buttom like the XDA IIi where all the PDA application is literally turned off.....

yes, correct!! Vise versa, I tried both....
So it does start in landscape every time ? I guess I still don't get it ..
hi,
i use changescreen to rotate, and have the same isue. eg.
1. have the device in portrait and switch it of
2. then (screen is off) turn it to landscape for a while
3. after that turn it back to portrait and immediately turn on the screen
i see the screen in landscape and then after some delay turning to portrait. you can proof this by telling the program to delay the rotation for some sec., wich is my default setting. i used gsen, changescreen and gyrator (gsen only on my old advatage) and they all behave the same.
mad.

Basicly if you rotate the phone, there is a small delay for the screen to rotate. when you rotate the phone in sleep mode and wait 2 seconds then turn on the screen, it comes on instantly and is rotated already. This means the 'screen rotation' has been already done when it is on sleeping mode. Otherwise the screen should be on as what it was before and then rotate with the small delay.
So if the rotation program is working in sleeping mode, other programs could be working as well? !!!
It isn't really sleep mode. There is (as mentioned above) no suspended mode for WM.
Most running apps won't actually be doing anything though, because you're not making them do anything. Obviously, the usual form of user interaction is via the screen. In sleep mode, this isn't happening, so most apps will just sit there waiting. Anything that runs periodically, or reacts to other events (such as orientation changes) will still do what it does when the phone is not in sleep mode.
Basically, the screen is turned off. That's it.
Hi - just got my new HD2 - great phone! Added some tweaks etc from this site (thanks very much BTW!)
I've got a question about the lock screen. When i press the off button the screen goes black, I then switch it on and the lock screen appears. Then after a few seconds the screen brightness decreases and then the screen turns off again. But what I want is for the screen brightness to decrease but the screen not to go off, so that I can easily unlock the phone without having to strain my fingers to get to the buttons in the corner to switch the screen off. I've changed the dimming and off settings in the settings menu but it doesnt appear to affect the lock page. Any ideas??
After official KK update when I leave my phone with unlock screen it fade down, and instead turning off it stay fade down.
When double tap it, or press power screen turn off.
I'm thinking its some kind of software setting - but can't find any.
I have 15sec till screen turn off but it fade after 11 seconds and stay that way. I tried cover sensors with hand but same thing.
Im on stock KK, D802.
Display > Auto off, bright 60%, Screen Saver 15sec, Screen saver: fade, auto rotate: on, dream settings: off, smart screen: off, smart video: off, led: on
When i turn off screen saver it dosn't fade.
When I change screen saver effect it just fade, so it looks like screen saver is broken in KK ?
Anyone ?

I have the same problem on stock 4.2.2 D80210b-HKG-XX.
But I can fix it on a time when reboot a phone.

first few reboots didn't help. Now it self fix'd.
I have the LG G Watch R... What I have going on is i constantly turn my watch on by accident. Either i cross my arms or my leg touches the screen and turns it on.. I've even played a game without knowing i was. I've tried the hacks/ advanced settings app but those only 1/2 way turn it off. (you can still swipe).
Is there anyway to completely disable the touch screen and only be able to wake it up with the physical button??
Try double click button to put watch in theatre mode. Otherwise use settings or pull down menu.
I want the screen on i just want the touch screen to be completely disabled..
I want it to still show time but have no response to touch until after the button is clicked.
Did you check market for any third party app?
Hi,
I've found a lot of posts about the second screen but not for the main screen.
I have a LG V20 US996 unlocked and rooted. I also have a case that covers the sides and back.
I usually wear t-shirts with a deep chest pocket (Carhartt) where I keep my phone, screen in. When I'm outside working listening to music on bluetooth headphones (mostly with Poweramp), the main screen randomly turns on. I notice this when the music starts jumping or skipping tracks because my chest is now randomly pressing spots on the main screen. When I look at the phone, what's on the screen is always some random app that started. It doesn't seem to correspond to any notifications as it does it when there are none. The default second screen when the main screen is off is the date and time.
I tried completely disabling the double-tap to turn on and off the main screen (both in the android and Nova Launcher settings) but that didn't help. Nor did making sure the phone was locked as a few seconds later, the main screen would turn on again.
Am I missing any other settings or secret screen presses that might turn the main screen on? If not, does anyone know of an app or Xposed module (if it's available for the V20/Nougat; I haven't checked yet) that might turn off the main screen except when explicitly turned on?
Thanks!

If you're using the second screen, it too can turn the screen on, particularly anything that launches an app or long pressed on something on the second screen. Unless of course you're not using the second screen?

The proximity sensor should turn off the second screen when covered, along with disabling knockon and requiring you to push power button twice just to wake the screen(try this out at home). If for some reason this doesn't occur, you probably have a defective model.
It does appear to function the way you describe. If I double-tap the second screen, it turns on. However, if I cover the proximity sensor, the second screen turns off, double-tapping doesn't turn anything on but as you said, I need to press the power button on the back twice to turn it on.
Every now and then when I peek into my pocket, the second screen is indeed off. I need to pull the phone out enough for the second screen to come back on to see the time. I'm still not sure what might be turning the main screen on while it's in my pocket, though.
