display goes on by itself - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to use my android 3.3.2 phone (Huawei u8510 aka Ideos X3) as an alarm clock with display off until I want to see the time or the phone wakes me.
The problem I am having is that now and then the display turns on by itself.
How can I off the display for good and how can I track down the culprit?

Android A501 Dim then Sleep.

Hi,
I have a A501 and Just installed Tegraowner's ICS 4.0.4 rom
I want to know if I can control the a501's screen to dim after X seconds, then shut off after X minutes.. of my choice.
I would find this feature useful.
Ive tried wakelock and others but it keeps screen on DIM, and never off, sometimes an alert comes then doesnt turn off.. Battery dies..
So I would love a program or app that can do this, does anyone here know of any app I can use or some type of script or automation.
I wish android would have this as an option on screen timeout options.
thanks
Shaun

[Q] Huawei Ascend G510 - Backlight issue

Hello, i got an issue with my Huawei Ascend G510 (rooted, using cyanogenmod 10.1 i think or idnknw but i know I am using ROM optimalised for Huawei Ascend Y300 so here might be the problem). I were doing some stuff on my phone like checking fb etc. and I locked my phone. After few seconds I wake it up, button backlight come on but display seems to be "dead". The phone works because when I "blind" do my unlock gesture I got the vibration feedback right. I know there was issue with my old phone (HTC Wildfire S) and when I set lowest level of display brightness in settings and then I locked the phone, when I pressed the power button to wake it up the backlight wont turn on and I had to restart the phone and then change the brightness and everything was OK. But on my huawei now I tried fastboot and recovery too but the backlight seems to be dead, i dont think its a HW error because when this happened I had my phone in my hand and I have not dropped it or shaked it so I really dont know whats going on. Had somebody teh same issue or I am the only one?

[Q] Endomondo - battery problem

Hello,
I installed Endomondo on my Gear fit, but it drains my battery. Is there any possibility how to turn display off after some time and turn it on only when I do a wrist movement? Or something like that? Because endomondo is having display still on and even when i turn it off by button, it turn it back on when the circuit notification shows (which is every kilometr = 2 minutes on bike).
Thanks for respond.
Neonik!
I found out, that when endomondo is "not running" - paused or stopped, display it turned off after time, that is set in fit gear settings. Is there any way how to apply this settings to my fit gear also when I'm running workout?

I want to re-use an old smartphone as a weather maps display

Hi all,
I want to re-pourpose my old ZTE Skate (512MB 800MHz, Gingerbread 2.3.5, root) as a weathermaps display. The device shall boot right into my weather app upon power-supply-connected . After 10 minutes or upon power-supply-disconnected the screen shall get dimmed or dark. After an hour it may fall asleep but immediately continue with the weathermap display on power-on again.
The stock ROM won't even let me disable the screen lock nor change the power management the desired way. I tried My Profiles Manager which fits most of my needs but it won't auto start on boot.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Toshibashi

How do I turn off the screen lock wake that happens when the phone is moved?

It's my friend's mate 10 but I have the mate 9. I think my phone used to do the same thing before I put a different ROM. With the screen locked when you handle the phone the clock appears. He doesn't like that so is there is setting to shut it off.
It's under the motion control, flip setting
