Hi,
After rooting, I noticed that the screen timeout function is no longer working properly.
My settings are set to have the screen turn off after 30 secs of being idle but I have notice this working only at times.
Anyone else experiencing this with their atrix rooted?
Thanks,
Harry

I'm coming from Windows Mobile, where the lock screen is much more tame (and usable in my mind). If I'm actively using the phone and turn the screen off and then on again, it's smart enough to not lock it immediately. If I recall, there's even a setting for how long it needs to be off before it locks.
Is there any way to get my Vibrant to behave like this? I hate that I have to swipe my unlock every time I turn off and on again.
Ummmmm.....the only thing I can recall is to set the timeout higher before it turns off?? I think its defaulted at 30 secs but you can set it higher or even turn it off so you manually black out the screen with with the power button.
Dont know if thats what your looking for..
Not really. I usually turn off the screen to look up and talk to someone (for example), and then when I turn it back on, I don't want to have to unlock it.

yea..I dunno.. I don't think you can disable the swype screen
There is an app on the market that you can use to totally disable the lock screen if you want. It's called no lock

Or you can buy widgetlocker from the market. It has a gangload of options and to my knowledge let's you do just that

I did disable lock altogether with Screen Tools 2, but that is not ideal. I couldn't see anything like what I wanted with widgetlocker. It allows a different timeout if the screen is turned on and locked, but that's not what I'm going for.
Anyone else have some help?
I was just wondering if the option that says "when screen turns off" is working? Because after turning off screen for a long time, battery use says that wifi is still turned on even if the screen is off.

is this possible? and if so, how? i've tried a few apps from the market, but they didn't seem to work
Why? Do you hate your phone so much, you need a quick way to burn in the screen?
Actually, while it's in my car dock and I'm using google maps, or any music, it's hard to see the screen after it dims, esp. when driving with my convertible top down in the daytime.

Have you tried STAYAWAKE? Keeps screen on while plugged in to any source that charges.
the screen stays on already... but it still dims until i touch the screen again.
Use Tasker - it's more complicated than most apps, but it gives you tons more control over your phone too.
Just remember to both turn off auto-dim as well as turn your brightness up for the "plugged in" event or it won't work properly if you use tasker!
I have a setting for plugged and unplugged, as well as at home (in range of my wireless SSID) and away. So my GPS turns on when plugged in and away, but not plugged in at home. But my display is set up the way you want as well - and mine increases the display timeout too.

I have tried to search the forum, but could not find any thread. When I am on a phone call, the display/screen turns off and I am using speaker phone or bluetooth. In the call settings, the turn on proximity sensor is disabled or off.
When I am in a phone call, I want to see the screen turn on to see details and very seldom put the phone to my ear.
Hopefully, somebody can help me resolve my problem.
Thank you..
Maybe changing the screen sleep time to a, max of 10 minutes?

With the sensor turned off, it sounds like its the standard screen timeout kicking in. I use Screen On, which overrides the timer for apps you specify, including an active call.
This bugs me too.
Anyone have a Tasker profile they could share for this?
My screen timeout is set to 10 minutes, since I thought that was the case. But as soon as I am on a call,, between 15-30 seconds, the screen is black and I have to press the power button to bring back the display.
Thanks for the advise and hope somebody can help us..
You could still try Screen On. When you bring up its list of apps, "Active Call" is the very first checkbox. Just make sure you also check the "enable" checkbox at the top-left of the list, too.
Your screen turns off during a call to conserve battery power. You don't reallt need the screen on while the phone is to your ear anyways. The proximity sensor detects this, and turns the screen off. As far as I know, there is no way to turn it off.

Most people use a build prob tweak called
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
Here's a thread related to the issue,,mine works fine after tweaks,

No go using this app. I tried on speakerphone and it still shuts the screen off.

I used AppAutoSettings to keep my screen on when on a call on my GSII.

Interesting. Sure enough, I tried turning the prox sensor off and enabled "active calls" in Screen On, rebooted, and it still turned off.
I'm running stock, and I've found the screen won't automatically turn off while charging. 53 seconds after last touching the screen it will dim (when not charging it turns off at 60 seconds as it should), but will never turn off or lock as long as it is plugged in.
I've only installed these apps: audible, Facebook, pandora, speed test, and swift key. All updates installed.
This problem even happens after a battery pull at the lock screen before I've touched the phone, it just dims the lock screen.
There is an option in settings somewhere for "Keep screen awake while charging".
On ICS its in the development submenu - I can't remember exactly where it was on GB..
If you use a power control widget, you can change the screen timeout options.
I recommend Power Controls by Painless Death.

Best free widget I've found.
Or just press the lock/power button manually once phone is plugged in?

Great thanks! I found it under applications/development. Verizon sent me a new phone today because they didn't know how to stop it, sad.

LOL. Oh well, it will just get sold to someone else in a few months! No big loss.
