Screen quickly turns off - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my screen quickly turns itself off when I awake it from stand by. It's like 3 or 4 seconds and then the screen will turn off, I can normally get around it by quickly pressing a button and this will keep the screen on.
It's also not a constant problem, after a soft reset the problem seems to go away for a random period of time and then return.
Any one else experience similar?

Just go to Sound and Display --> Backlight --> Set it for longer.

That doesn't work mainly cause there isn't an option to turn the backlight off after 3 seconds

sorry, wrong tab selected
pls delete.

try to set from the beginning the option that automatically locks your keypad when your phone becomes idle(settings-key lock)..and the option that turns the backlight off when phone is idle(settings-power-power management).
p.s. I'm not sure about the exact location of the settings since I don't have the phone any more...I'm telling you the location approximately...

Theres a nice app in the market called "keepscreen lite".
It's free and you can configure each app so that the screen wont turn off for them.

By default my device keeps the screen on 1 minute. I've never changed it. It does seem to work fairly well by default.
If you're using a custom ROM, there could be an issue with the ROM. Might be best to post in the developer's thread to alert them to the issue and also to see if others are experiencing.
The main setting I've relied on is under Settings-> Display -> Screen timeout . Mine is currently set as the stock default of 1 min.
Hope that helps!
I have the stock rom, and my screen timeout setting has been at 2 minutes since I first go it.
I'll check out that APP that you suggested j4n87. Thanks
LATER: Sweet, that app works great. I still wish that the system settings actually worked like they're supposed to.

[Q] How to turn on screen by touching it? (while it isn't locked yet)

Hello, I come from a Nokia 5800 and this behavior was common in CFWs, but I can't find anything similar on android yet.
What I mean is, android's behavior is something like this:
- 30 seconds go by and the screen dims.
- 5 seconds more and screen turns off.
- 2 seconds more and lockscreen kicks in.
- If you want to use the phone now, you must press power or home button.
In Nokia 5800, it was something like this, and what I'm looking on android:
- 30 seconds go by and screen dims.
- 5 seconds more and screen turns off.
- xx seconds more and lockscreen kicks in. Also (this is the important part!) if you tap the screen at this point while the screen is off, it turns on back again! Kinda like when its dim and you touch it and it lights up again. Same behavior but with screen off!
My question is, Is there some way to replicate this behavior on android?
Thanks.

Problem when screen dims + Locks

Hi all,
I'm not too sure if anyone else has ever experienced this but it is starting to annoy me.
When my screen dims after 1 minute and goes to the lock screen I'm able to press the 'home' button and the unlock screen appears but I'm not able to do anything.
Its almost as if my devices jams and I have to press buttons to get it to come back.
I've reinstalled my device and this doesn't happen.
This happens during a call when the screen dims when its near my ear and I take my phone away from my ear the screen doesn't come on and it jams
Please - your help will be greatly appreciated

I wish that was the issue.
My smartstay is on.
When the device's screen turns off the 2 issues happen:-
1. You press the home button to turn the screen on and the phone goes into the pattern lock screen - when i try do my pattern it doesn't pick anything up almost as if the screen has frozen and I have to wait 1 minute for the screen to go off and do the same process and hope it works.
2. I'm in a call and the screen is supposed to light up after removing it from my hear however it stays black. I have to lay the phone down, wait 1 minute and press the home button and hopefully the screen comes up and hopefully it isn't jammed
try this see if it works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
Hey Aimara,
It didn't work.. It almost seems like the phone jams i.e. there is no RAM left or something
Check your running apps, and could be too many apps running on background using up ram, try to freeze some unwanted apps
I have no issues unlocking my stock Sprint GS3 as you describe. Like some other have mentioned, maybe free up some internal RAM by moving some apps or data to SD storage?
I think it might be caused by CPU tuner and the governors? I noticed when my battery was low it would get stuck on the unlock screen.
Hopefully with my changes it works

Screen flashing when phone is on charge/not charging

This is driving me mad at night.
I press the power button to turn screen off. I also have phone set to sleep after two minutes. It stays off for approx two minutes, then the screen flashes on and stays on about 8 seconds, then screen goes off for two mins, and on, and repeat, all day and all bloody night long.
This happens whether the phone is on charge or not. Bluetooth off, just either wifi or data on.
I have it set to always on display so I have the clock on screen when off, I have tried turning this off but it still happens, any ideas?
I really REALLY do not want to wipe and start again.

SORTED. I had "allow notifications to turn screen on" turned on. Disabled that, and now no more flashing.
