Followed the steps at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 and now I have root but I also have this text box across the top and I'm getting tracers where ever I touch the screen. I read through the rest of the 19 pages on the forum but I can't post a ? because of my noob status. Any Help?

On stock ics. If screen turns on while charging it does not turn off again. This started happening some weeks ago, but I can't imagine I did anything.
Any clues?

Well I just solved the problem so I'd be willing to bet you use "extended controls"?

Yes! What is the problem? Just a setting in EC or uninstallation required?

Here's the deal:
The "keep awake"option is part of the stock ics settings but Samsung has removed it, possibly to avoid burn-in effects on the s2's SAMOLED screen. But apparently all they removed was just the option...the"stay awake"functionality is still there, you just don't have a way to enable or disable it.
This means that if you install an app that for whatever reason decides to turn "stay awake" to "on" you have no way to disable it -unless you install a third party app that does exactly that!
Enter extended controls. While I'm almost sure it was THAT update that caused the stay awake setting to change we are in luck because it's the same app that will let us disable it:
On an empty area of your screen long press and add an 1x1 extended control widget. Add the "stay awake" toggle and apply. when the widget appears I'm pretty sure it's gonna be enabled/green.
Click on the widget to disable stay awake and then remove the widget if you want. Done.
Let me know how it works out!

Thanks a lot! Solved a very annoying problem. Great work!
Just cost me a little screen burn in, but not much.

great! Maybe I should contact the developer too...
How do we mark this as "solved"?

Tip: hit "thanks" if someone helped you
Forgive me if this was already posted but I was playing around in the task manager and went to default tab and cleared the setting. After you do that go to your notification drop down and select setting and it will ask which settings program you want to use. Choose the one without the folder behind it.

I believe if you go into settings and hit the menu button, you will have the option to switch into list view. Also, there are two "settings" in your app drawer. One is for the tabs, one is for list.

Lol. :silly:
I actually didn't know this could changed at all. Thanks to both of you. I personally prefer the list view.
Well, now that we're doing things the easy way, anyone know how to get the battery usage screen with the graph at the bottom that shows wifi on, awake, screen on, etc? I've only been able to see it when I get the low battery warning, which isn't very often with this phone.

A shorter way to get there is Settings/Power saver/Battery Use.

Thing is, I only get the line graph. Not the bar graph that I'm used to seeing below it. Any who, not a big deal, just so used to having it available. Thanks, anyway.

My wife and I have the DNA stock. Her gps comes on on boot. I disabled the same apps on both phones. Setting for maps on both is the the same, so is location settings.
I cannot find what makes her DNA does it and mine does not.
any help will be appreciated.

One feature I used all the time on the S4 and S3 was the voice control to say "cheese" or "shoot" to take a picture. I can't seem to find that setting anywhere on the S5. Is it gone?
It is there, click the cog in the corner of the camera screen and scroll down, should say voice commands or the like.
EDIT: Specifically open the camera app, click the cog in the corner, far bottom left tile which says "Voice Control"
