Setting for turning off the screen while charging?

I can only find a setting for turning off the device which I don't want to do because sometimes I sync files and I don't want the phone to turn off in the middle. Surely there is a way to turn off the screen though? It bugs me that it is always on when the phone is charging.
Thanks!

Go to Menu > Settings > Power >
Then click the advanced tab along the bottom
and if you only want the backlight to turn off and keep the device powered while charging
On external power:
enable turn off backlight (and choose after how many minutes)
disable turn off device if not used

Isnt turning the device off turning the screen off? As in throwing the device into standby?
When my X1 is in standby (after pushing the power button), I can still access it from my computer...

Screen Dim down at 10% w/o activate the power saving mode

Hi,
I got a GS2 for 2 weeks. I found that the screen will automatically dim down at 10%. It happened even when I activate or deactivate the Power Saving Mode. Is it the ROM bugs? Or anywhere I can set it to no automatically dim down?
thanks

There is Brightness option under Power Saving Mode as a several option.
Regards.

I have already set the brightness to 50% under the Power Saving Mode Page. However, after the phone screen off and on again, it dim to a very low level. I need to go to Power Saving Mode and disable and enable again to bring it to 50% level.
I don't know why screen always dim to low level after screen off/on.
Suppose I unclick the "Use Power Saving Mode" should do nothing when the battery low, right?

same here, but I like that "features"

I think it's a built-in feature to preserve battery. Happens on my phone too, without having power saving mode activated, when battery is very low. It's been probably made that way in order for your phone to last longer when reaching final percents of battery, considering the screen is the biggest battery drainer.

Screen went greyscale, and I lost most of my settings and access to all my apps

I've had my S7 Edge G935A since release date. I love this phone, never had a problem until yesterday.
So I left work placing my phone in my pocket checked the time after departing since the meeting ran late all looked good on my phone.
walked into my buddy's house wanted to show him a picture, and my entire screen was greyscale, I thought maybe extreme powersave got turned on in my pocket, so I swipe down to access quick settings, and they are all gone, the gear is there. I tap the gear, and settings comes up:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Mobile Networks
More Connection settings
Edge screen
Battery
Help
NO Other settings no way to swipe just access to those settings,
Click my list of apps and only the like the default gapps.
I have not rooted, or done any major things to the phone I did use adb to format the memory card as internal storage.
I searched google and only found options to turn on greyscale, but I had no access to accessibility in settings, no access to power saving mode.
If I restarted my phone it would come up in color then go greyscale.
I took it to AT&T they stared at it for 30 min before recommending a factory reset.
I didn;t want to but I didn't know what else to do.
Has anyone seen this, know what I did, or how to undo it?
It's fixed now I'm just wondering how it happened and how to undo it if I somehow do it again

Lol you just activated ultra power saving mode or emergency mode.

So how do you turn that off without factory wiping it, when it won't give you access settings or apps?
I thought Ultra savings mode too but couldn't turn it off because I didn't have access to settings

Emergency Mode Emergency
mode conserves your device’s remaining power when you are in an emergency situation. Emergency mode saves battery power by:
• Changing the color of the screen to grayscale.
• Restricting application usage to only essential applications and those you select.
• Turning off Mobile data when the screen is off.
• Turning off connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ® .
Note: When Emergency mode is turned off, the Location settings may stay the same as they were in Emergency mode. Activate Emergency Mode To activate Emergency mode:
1. Press and hold the Power key to display the Device options window.
2. Tap Emergency mode > Turn on. • When accessing for the first time, read the Terms and conditions. If you accept them, tap the Checkbox, and then tap Agree. Confirm when prompted.
Turn Off Emergency Mode ?
From the Emergency mode Home screen, tap More > Turn off Emergency mode
This is what it was, but somehow I got the Google Now launcher while in emergency mode, so I didn't have the more option to turn it off.
Thanks I knew someone here would know

When you have either of the modes activated, there is a "more" button on the upper right of the screen (the actual screen area, not the notification). Press that and there should be a turn off option.

UPSM on nougat

As title suggests. I would like to know if there are any modules or other ways to get marshmallow's ultra power saving mode (with black and white screen and all) on nougat.
I'm really not satisfied with max power saving mode of nougat. Hoping to get a reply from you guys.
Thanks in advance, seems like no one asked about this yet?

It's still there, but you have to go to Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery and change power saving mode to MAX, to enable it.

Mate i clearly stated ultra power saving mode. not max power saving mode. These 2 are different. Max power saving mode won't switch screen to black and white. This used to make a huge difference.

I guess this is not possible then. Can close thread.

UPSM on S7 Edge
It is called Emergency Mode now.
If you push the button to turn off and select Emergency mode in stead of off then you will have greyscale like you are talking about

Power saving mode

There anything in the settings to stop this coming on?

Yeah, you can disable Adaptive battery saving, but why would you?

You're right, but you can solve that by:
-Using the quickpanel toggle to enable optimised
-press it again to enter medium power saving, when asking the configuration untick "disable background data"
-go back in battery, set optimised again, enable adaptive power saving
Every time it goes in medium power saving it will no longer block background data.
