Just so we're clear, this setting is broken, right? Mine still turns off WiFi after a little while of the screen being off. I remember reading a few weeks back that others were having a similar problem.

I downloaded it. Not sure what some of those settings are though...
Actually there is a fix for this issue, but it requires some apk editing at the moment. Hopefully a flashable zip will be released shortly.

Hopefully it will get patched yes it's an issue. I'm not rooted at the moment, doesn't seem to affect battery very much if at all but still if it's set to stay on it should just stay on.

Updated yesterday (12/21) and found that my phone battery was draining fast. Handset got very warm in my holster.
This morning I noticed that the display would never go blank unless forced by tapping the power button. It would dim but not blank out.
This problem did not exist prior to the OTA update.
Any ideas?
If your 100% stock and haven't done any mods to your phone, I would call up or go into an att store and tell em their sh**** update made your phone turn onto a hand warmer :-\

OK. Kinda weird, but this is computer stuff.
Changed a bunch of wall papers back and forth. Reset default launcher (was Launcher Pro) to TouchWiz. No help. Randomly turned on/off various Display settings. No joy.
Let it sit for a while and all of sudden it started working OK in TouchWiz. Restarted Launcher Pro and still working. Set my favorite live wall paper and it is still working OK.
Oh weLL
Sweet. Weird indeed. Might have just had an app acting funky keeping screen awake. Anyway glad its working correctly!

I've changed it around several times to no avail. Then it started working for some reason. Oh well.
I am having this same issue. I pulled the battery and it worked for two days and acted up again. I rebooted the phone and now its working again. Very annoying.... also noticed after ota update.
Has to be some kind of app that prevents the display from turning off. Try searching through your app list and see which apps have those permissions.
I know they turn on in low light but is there a way to keep them from turning off while in bright light??
many times I have wished they were lit so I can see them
I have been looking for the same thing!

Put a small, removable sticker over the light sensor on the top of your Rezound?
You can always get them to our come on, on demand, by placing your thumb or finger over the light sensor.

The ineffibilis gingerbread rom has the option to keep the lights on. ICS roms have them on all the time I think.
There's an app called keyboard backlight. It lets you keep them off or on all the time

I was using the mik tweaks in the inneffabilis ROM for this, but you have to reselect it every time you restart.

Blocking the sensor works, but...
I just tried putting a small piece of tape over the sensor and found that it works. The red buttons always stay on regardless of the ambient light conditions, however, during a call the screen will no longer go dark so that your ear, cheek, etc are no longer prevented from inadvertently clicking on anything. Obviously the sensor has a double duty.

Only happens at night and on weekends. It's HTC junk. Custom roms address. Specifically the "disable smart sync" option in Viper.

I'm on Virtuous Rom and this happens from time to time. I wonder which system app controls smart sync. This way others could freeze it in TB.

If you are running the battery saver it turns off the vibration, my vibration wasn't working and I checked the battery saver then edit and I turned my vibration back on, something you may want to check if you have not already

Wait a minute... So when you did the vibrator hardware test it still wouldn't test the vibrator motor because you had battery saver on? That doesn't seem right to me. If you are trying to test hardware via internal diagnostic software menu it should pass the test and bypass the vibration off setting because of battery saver mode.
NVM - above is fact, I just verified. My mind is blown by this.

"Battery saver mode" has more authority than "diagnostic software menu".
It's a choice LG engineers made, but you are right -- it sounds like the wrong choice. I would be interested in hearing their logic on that.

Replace the last 3 numbers with your model and try.
So put 873 instead of 998 or 931.

Not really s bug but poor low light threshold. This problem was in earlier LG or Pixel I can't remember which one. They tweaked the lowest setting front 0 to 15 and it worked. Auto brightness needs manual ranges for user to be able to tweak.

Auto brightness solved
I fixed the auto brightness using Tasker. This works 100%, no excessive battery drain, no crashes, works perfectly. Set this up in Tasker (see screenshots). Make sure Tasker is excluded from battery saving and has admin and accessibility access. Enjoy.
