I Have A Question For Dev's to see if this could get implemented into the Rom's.
I have noticed that the hardware or softkeys (home,menu,back,search) the backlight is always on, and its very distracting and I imagine it consumes battery.
Is there any way for this to get shut off, like on the Evo 4G that when pressed they would turn on for a couple of seconds then shut off again..
I've noticed this only happening when in dark rooms or night. I think its a light sensor tweak that should be the culprit.
Yes there should be. I use a program called Screen Filter and it turns off the soft keys. If that program can than I am sure there is a way to mod your rom to do so as well. Try downloading it and playing around with it. Reverse engineer the .apk if you have to I guess lol.
Hi guys!
I noticed over quite a time, that while I leave my phone charging over the night, any random notofication will cause the screen to stay on until I wake up and manually turn it off.
On my galaxy s2 I have VillainRom 2.1.0 (Android 2.3.4) with ninpho's 2.0.4 kernel.
However I did notice the problem before with VR 1.4 and CF-Root kernel (didn't use anything else yet), so I figure it might not be related to this.
This is rather annoying, as I don't want any burn in effects on my screen, but there's a much worse part about it:
It's noch 100% limited to the time of being charged. If I remove the charger at 100%, play around a little with the phone and then go to sleep, some random notification (whatsapp/sms etc.) will still cause the phone to wake up and not go back to sleep mode.
What happens is, I wake up with a phone at 50% battery (at it's best!), or I don't even wake up because my phone is dead and therefore my alarm clock stays quiet..
I read about some people having this problem with their SGS1 and it might help to go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> uncheck Stay awake.
SGS2 does not have this "stay awake" option (or I'm seriously stupid)..
Anyone an idea what I might want to try?
Best greetings, Alex
At that screen I have "Standby" and you need to have it unchecked. Also, what's your screen-off delay? You don't have any apps like screebl keeping you screen on, I assume?

I have tested with a stock rom of which I made no input and had the same issue.
Hope we can solve our problems. Cheers

mine just started doing it. i have been running custom rom for awhile now.
apps recently installed:
words free
launcher pro 806
extended controls
impossible level game
I have uninstalled:
words free
impossible level game
my issue is still happening.
when unplugged screen turns off.
I can get a text, it will light up then turn back off.
when plugged in (charging)
display will not turn off unless i press the lock button.
if i get a text the screen turns back on and stays on unless i press the lock button again.
I have recently re-flashed, complete wipe of phone and factory reset wipe.
I still have the screen on when charging and no option to disable.
I need an option to disable the "stay awake"
As my fault occurs with the phone completely reset on a stock rom it must be hardware so I am going to return it and see what happens from there.
I have flashed CM7 and there is an option to turn stay awake off.
This option is removed in DarkyRom.
Finally figured out how to turn it on or off!!!!
install the app extended controls and add stake awake as a toggle.
Turn it off!!!
then remove app
FINALLY!
Hey guys,
I have a fairly brand new (within the month) rooted GN II. The backlight fails to turn off after sometime for some odd reason. I have the backlight set to 15 seconds and Smart Stay off (aka all software options set to off). If I restart the phone, it seems to temporarily fix the problem until it happens later on somehow. Anybody know what could be causing this? Application?
PS- I havent soft/hard reset it yet.
Thanks
Some applications will keep the backlight on. Are you leaving a specific app when it happens?

Thanks for the reply! Not that I can think of. But wouldnt the phones hardware/software settings override any app? I think the only app I use on it is Skype?
Apps can request the android permission that allows the backlight to stay on constantly, think Navigation, the screen stays on the entire time you're navigating. Watching a movie or video does the same thing. It sounds like an app that has this permission not working properly and keeping the backlight on, but it's hard to tell. This would be why a reboot fixes it, because it would close the app.
Hi
Tasker begginer here.
I'm having some minor issues with Tasker that I was hoping you could help me sort out:
I use Greenify and I was having a little problem with autohibernation feature in my unrooted Nexus 5: The screen has to turn on in order to automatically greenify something. This is a problem when the phone is in my pocket or facing down on the table because it conflicts with Gravity Screen (this app turns the screen off -and keeps it off- when the proximity sensor is active and the device is in a particular orientation), so when the phone is in my pocket or laying face down on a surface, Greenify can't finish its job because Gravity Screen will quickly turn the screen off.
In light of this, I disabled the autohibernation feature in Greenify and made a rather simple group of profiles to control it from Tasker. The main profile, the one that calls the "Hibernate now" shortcut from Greenify, is triggered when the screen turns off and has and If condition. This is the logic of that if:
- If
Proximity sensor: Not active
AND
Screen off
- Then
Run task
I do this to make sure that the hibernate action is not triggered while the screen is on or while the proximity sensor is active. Since Tasker doesn't have a variable for monitoring the proximity sensor, I made a profile that sets a variable (%PROX) to 1 when it's covered and 0 when its uncovered. So the if conditional uses the value of %PROX.
The problem is that if I turn the screen on WHILE the proximity sensor is active, Tasker skips the if statement (as it should), but if I turn the screen off with the proximity sensor uncovered and then cover it, it'll run the task. It's as if the profile that sets the variable %PROX to 1 does not work while the screen is off. Is this normal behaviour? How can I make this work better?
I managed to sort this out by deactivating Gravity Screen at the beggining of the task and reactivating it at the end (with a little waiting to give Greeenify time to finish), but I still want to keep my screen off while the phone is in my pocket.
My other doubt is regarding a group of profiles (that I got from here) that turn Wi-Fi on whenever I'm near two locations using the cell tower and Wifi near state in Tasker. I made some minor adjustments to these profiles, but they're still basically the same. The problem I'm having is that, most of the times, these profiles won't do anything if the screen is off. For example, I have it set to recognize cell towers near my house (and of course my Wifi connects automatically). Let's say I get home and I haven't used my phone in a while (screen off), I'd expect to see my Wi-Fi on and connected some time after I arrived, but this is not the case. It is not until I turn the screen on AND unlock the phone that I see the profiles doing their thing. I see wifi connecting, flash alerts and so on. This probably have something to do with the fact that, for some reason, my phone will not connect to a network while the screen is off. Same example, I get home with wifi on and the screen off, and I'll only see the wifi connecting after I turn the screen on (this happens with or without Tasker and with any wifi) regardless of how long I've been home.
Could it be that the near wifi profile cannot toggle wifi or can't recognize any network while the screen is off due to this bug I have with Wifi connections in my phone (Which I haven't been able to sort out)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!
Help with wifi profile
Hi, i saw your post in here and i think i can help, do you still have that problem or you managed to fix it? I think I might be able to help you
Hi,
I have this issue with my watch: sometimes I can light-up the watch by touching the display and most of the times this doesn't work. Is this a feature (when it works) or a bug (when doesn't work)?
Thank you!
Just few seconds after your screen goes off, it would get back on by tapping on screen. In other cases you couldn’t make it on by tapping.
I just hop on this thread about screen light.
I trying to find the setting to turn off the screen while on running activity. I notice the screen is light on entire running activity until complete. I had already enable wrist lift option to turn on the screen when i need checking the running stats.
Anyway find the setting to turn it off or perhaps sleep mode. Thank you in advance.
There is no such option in Zepp yet. Hopefully they will add it, since screen-on is very battery-consuming.

You can turn it off by going into workout settings.
If you disable light on lift, touch to light up display will be also disabled. At least it happens on mine.
