[Q] Screen off - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
IS there a way to switch off the screen without having to press the power button.
Most of the time I press the volume button too and I find it very un-practicable.
Thanks
T.

Just use one of the "Screen off" apps from the Market ...
... or set the screen off setting of your phone (Settings => Display => ... Screen off time) to 15 seconds and wait for 15 seconds ;-)

Does it turn off and on when you push the power button? if so then it is working. What you need to do is go to settings, then power, then advanced, then on battery power set the minutes or seconds to turn of the device. Or maybe your device's buttons are accidentally pressed so what you need to do is button lock it so that it won't get pressed accidentally.

Not sure if this is what you mean but I was confused by the on/off switch on my IIi, I kept turning the backlight off rather than getting it to suspend.
The trick is to just press the power button for a short time and it will go off/on. If you hold it down you only put the back light on/off. I guess I shoulda read the manual.
First post btw, hi all.
The problem is, when you press the power button, it goes off just for a second then turns on again. I have changed the backlight and power settings, but still it just wont go to suspend mode. Even when pressing the suspend icon button in SBP Pocket Plus, the unit behaves the same. All I do now is turn off the backlight by pressing the power button for more than a second and just let the today screen be on, but it is eating away my battery life...
please help.
thanks
hard Reset ... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Q] TB automatically power off

Hi, guys
I have a problem with my TB. The phone automatically power off about every two days, even if the battery is full. The screen is dark and when i press the power button, the screen cannot turn on and i had to long press the power button to reboot. I don't know whether it is a reboot or it was power off before i press the button.
Do you have such problem?
Thank you for your any suggestion.

[Q] Jetstream does not power ON - Stuck !!!

Need some help !
The HTC Jet stream does not power on - strange problem.
Unit used to work perfect till today - however suddenly the unit does not power on.
1. Battery is fully charged
2. The orange led on the power button is "on" even when its NOT Charging
3. pressing the power on does not do anything.
Tried several things, like doing a "hard reset" from the buttons, by pressing the volume down and at the same time pressing or holding the power - NOTHING help.
The ORANGE screen on the power is "on" with the charger or without it.
Any of you guys have a smart idea to try ?
Anyone know if there is a "hidden" reset button ?
problem was solved !
press & hold the power button for 20 seconds & at the same time press the volume button.
This has released the "stuck status" and the jet stream has back to live as normal.
FIXED!!!

It's not working. When I hold on/off + volume down, the volume indicator run all the wat down and turned the phone to silent mode. I tried a few times but the same happen. I tried holding on/off + volume up and on/off + Home button too, but it doesn't help.
