I can't get the AOD to stay on all day and night. It shuts off sometime around midnight and I'm not sure when it starts back up again but it's usually late mirning. Is there a certain setting I'm missing?
Yes. You can set up a schedule for the AOD in the settings.
Display > Ambient Display > When to show > Off / Schedule / All day.
Yeh, I tend to go with schedule since aod can eat some battery...

Yeah I tried the setting but it doesn't matter. Goes off about midnight and returns I think around 8am. I've tried restarting the phone but to no avail. I don't wanna do a hard reset but it's almost a vital function in the middle of the night if I get an emergency call from the hospital I can just look at the phone vs having to physically reach over every time.

it sits on my dresser in the middle of the night wirelessly charging so battery drain during that period wouldn't be much of an issue.
What if you set the schedule to 'from 00:00 until 00:00'?

I have had two or three occasions in the past, where my Cingular 8125 suddenly turned off. When I turned it on again, it would tell me that battery was critical, and that after less than a day on standby. Other days it lasts for 3 or more days. This morning I noticed tha the battery was low, and that the screen had not turned off over night (no backlight, but screen was active). What would cause the device not to turn off the screen completely?
I locked it last night and put it away. I may not have turned it off completely, but normally the device does that by itself.
Did you have a text or notification arrive over night?
Check settings > Sound & Notifications > Notifications > Event ......
I think if the 'Display message on screen' is selected then the device will not turn back off.

It stays awake only while plugged in.
I use my phone to set my alarm for work and it stays on the charger at night while I am asleep.
However the alarm will not go off in the morning (it is set to go off even in Silent mode) and I was wondering if it was because the device was going to sleep at night.
I hope this resolves it for me.

Before setting the EVO to the stay awake setting above, I noticed that if the phone was in desk clock mode (accessed by clicking on the Sense clock), it would stay awake (noticed this while fiddling this morning).
Try this - using power control widget turn the brightness down to the lowest level. Then drag the notification bar down, and then without releasing your finger drag it all the way up. Brightness goes up. Weird huh? (LauncherPro, not rooted_yet)

Put your finger on the top edge of the screen. Drag your finger to the left and right... Oh... the screen goes from dark to brighter and back again... Not so weird, it's made that way.

Ha, so that's why my brightness mysteriously keeps going up from time to time.
Is there a way to turn this "feature" off?

Yeah, but then the brightness is higher than I want it.
I am trying to extend my battery life, so I'd rather the brightness stays at the lowest setting.
The problem is, I am not sure it's helping so much. Right now, it has been just short of 8 hours since the phone was plugged in. The battery is at about 50%.
Voice Calls account for 52%.
Display for 19%
Standby for 10%
Phone Idle for 7%
Skyfire for 5%
The problem is, voice calls show total time of 26 minutes 19 seconds.
Display shows 54 minutes 47 seconds.
Skyfire shows 23 minutes 47 seconds.
That's pretty light usage, IMO.

In the settings menu, right under screen timeout, there's a powersaver mode or something similar. If you read the subtext on it, it says something about examining the display and adjusting brightness based on what's being displayed. If you haven't already, try turning that feature off; but you may end up hurting battery life, which is opposite of your ultimate goal, I believe.
This is on firmware JG1 for European phones...
Thanks!
Classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" situation
As to the battery life I find it very underwhelming.. This morning before leaving for work I had 33%. On my way(which is literally 15 minutes) I was listening to a podcast and by the time I got here it dropped do 15% :/ GPS, 3g, WiFi off...

Battery life always suck on all the phones. I think the app BeyondPod, that I use, is especially hard on the battery for some reason. On my N1, I expect 8-12% battery drop per hour when listening to podcasts for some reason.

Dunno.... My battery died yesterday after less than 13 hours, with fairly light use: the biggest drain was voice calls, which accounted for less than 30 minutes in total
I've had the phone for only a few days, so I sure hope it's just battery conditioning. My old iPhone would last 2 days with similar use.
O.K. Fully discharged yesterday, charged overnight.
Now, 8h29m since plugged, the phone shows 35% battery.
41% use by voice calls (20 minutes!)
Display 30% (1h8m at the lowest brightness)
Cell standby 11%
It's not going to last through the day, again With barely any use).
I sure hope this gets better over the next few days.
dam tahts crazy! didnt know it could do that lol
This is not a glitch, if you drag your finger from the left top corner to the right it will higher the brightness and same goes ford the other way

I have setup the phone to sync weather for example every half an hour. If the phone is on stand by it does not sync. It is as if it turns off the data connection. Any help would be appreciated.
Any ideas? It will only sync when the phone is awake and unlocked? If the phone is locked it doesn't sync
Im surpriesed nobody can help with this!
You are certain it is only the weather that is not auto updating?

That is the only thing I have noticed so far.
No help at all? Basicily data does not sync at all when the phone is on stand by. It is as if the data connection disconnects. I cant seem to work out how to "keep it alive" Any help would be appreciated.
GhostXSeries, what activity do you expect from your phone in stand by (sleep) mode?
Sleep mode also called "standby mode" is an inactive state of the device that is quickly brought back into action by touching any keyboard key or pressing the on/off switch. It is used to save battery power.
In sleep mode the screen is turned off, all system processes are suspended (including data transfer), and the CPU is throttled down to its lowest power state - no activity. However, all instructions and data still reside in memory, and dynamic RAM memory chips require power to hold their content.
So what kinda sync do you want to have?

The main one I would like to have updated is the weather. I do not see the point of being able to set the weather to automticly update every half an hour if the phone does not do it while in stand by mode. If I turn the phone on and update maually it works fine. Is there any way to sort this?
My phone will automatically update itself if the set amount of time as passed while it was in standby mode. Meaning, if I set it to autoupdate every hour and I've had my phone in standby mode for 2 hours, when I wake it up, it will automatically sync the weather and any other data that should have been syncing during it's standby phase. Does your phone not do this as well?
There is also an app called "Screen Off" which will ONLY turn off the screen and not put your phone in stand by mode which means that all data and such will continue to function while your screen is off.
Oh and I was waiting on a definitive repsonse to the "only weather" question I asked. Obviously, just your weather not updating properly and ALL your data not updating properly are two very different problems.
I did not read the first post carefully. So you mean - the system timers do not work properly - they don't wake up your phone from standby for weather update?
I have mine set to do the same, but fo example for again the weather, I have it set to update every 1 hours, when I leave the phone on overnight and check it in the morning it does not update untill I press the manual update button.
Say I had the phone updated at 11pm and put it on stand by, check the phone at 8am the last update time was 11pm. It will stay at 11pm and only when I press the update button does it then update. It is not an overly big thing but I am under the impression that If I set the phone to update every hour even if it is on stand by or not the latest it should be behind is 59 minutes!
Is this auto or do i turn it on inside settings? I looked everywhere for it and can not find it

It will trigger automatically based on a few different criteria being met, in particular - the phone has to be left completely still for about an hour for Doze to start.

Absolutely false information. Doze starts almost immediately after its placed completely still somewhere aka a desk. I've had it sit still for 20 mins and I look at the battery graph and for those 20 mins it was completely flat

I'm sorry, but the source code doesn't lie.
My doze seems to kick in pretty quickly as well. I can set it down for about 15 min+ and I can see it flat line in the battery chart. I wish there was an app in the Play Store to tweak the doze settings without root :/ I Kind of want doze to start within minutes and not have the movement turn it off.

It might not be "doze" but my phone battery begins to see a straight line after about 15-20 mins of being inactive.

It doesn't start immediately, what you are noticing is likely just the low power consumption of the display being off with the CPU scaled back. Doze goes into effect when it realizes the phone isn't being used, meaning it's lying flat with no movement. I wouldn't say it takes an hour, but it doesn't start the instant you turn the screen off and lay it down either.

It definitely doesn't work right away. When doze is on, you pretty much do not get any notifications (except phone calls and other priority ones) until you pick up the phone. That means your emails and app notifications would never come on if your phone was still on the desk. And it would be pretty horrible if it worked that way. It would mean having to pick up the phone to fetch new notifications each time lol

Alarm Clock Xtreme's alarms have failed to go off for me due to Doze. Not a particularly effective alarm clock imho.
