I have the setting checked to keep screen on while on AC, but it still auto dims to about 10% after 30 seconds or so. I want to stop it from doing this and just keep the screen at 90% all the time. Auto-brightness is already off, and that didn't change anything.
I'm trying to setup a tasker profile to turn the brightness to 90% during the day when in the car. Everything works fine, I can see the screen get brighter, BUT it still dims after 30 seconds and I can't see the display when it's bright out unless I touch the screen, then it comes back to full brightness again.
Help please?

I don't have that option. Only goes to 30 min. I'm running CM6.

But the screen still dims to about 10% (even with Sense and even while plugged in).

Exactly.
I've temporarily resolved this by having tasker open car home, then opening pandora.
When car home is running, it won't dim the screen.
Now I have to figure out how to make it do this without car home open.

Did anyone ever find a solution?
Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)
This is true but the screen still dims.
Still searching for an answer.
I had the same problem. After some searching I found this over on android forums and it's working like a champ for me. Hope this helps! (I don't think there's any system setting that will change this, unfortunately)
Download the app "Setting Profiles Lite". Lite is free and only lets you create 1 rule at a time, but multiple profiles (Actions you want it to do when the rule is happening)
1. Create a profile that simply changes the screen time out to "Screen Never Times out" Save it as whatever name you want.
2. Create a rule. Under conditions add a condition for Battery that when "plugged into any charger", hit OK. Now add an action to Activate Profile, and choose the profile you made above.
Bam! When plugged into the charger, the screen timeout goes to never, and the screen stays bright, unplug it and time out goes back to whatever you had it set at!
I have been using this for about 10 min now so I'm a rookie but it seems to be working! Make sure if you screw around in it that you don't accidentally disable the rule (I did that because I tried to make another and the Lite won't let you make 2 rules, and it disabled the first one. Just had to long press to enable it again)

THANK YOU!
From time to time I've searched for a solution to this annoying problem, but came up dry. For months I've been using the built-in Power Control widget to manually toggle between Auto-bright when on battery, and Full-bright when on the charger, but NEVER AGAIN
I mean, if your phone's on the charger, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of the plentiful juice pouring out of the charger to power the screen? (Maybe, and I don't know if this is true, but maybe the battery will charge slightly slower with the display sucking a bit more of the available 0.5 max amps over USB.)
IMO, this problem is really worthy of being solved by a standalone app, apart from the more general Settings Profile Lite (but now that it's solved... I don't feel the urge to code it anymore.)
ChargeBright app
FWIW, I did finally end up writing my own app to solve this problem. Check out the ChargeBright app @ market.android.com if interested.
Settings Profile Lite was overkill since I only needed to tweak one setting: display brightness when charging. ChargeBright saves resources and is better tailored to the specific task in any case.

This problem is with the screen and phone not going to sleep mode after an event that brings it out of sleep.
After i lock the screen manually by pressing the button on the top, the phone would wake up briefly due to an event like a calendar reminder, text, phone etc.
So after certain duration of inactivity, it should go back into the sleep mode automatically. Right, it used to, but not anymore. It just stopped. I have checked the Advanced settings under the Battery option but no good.
Although after say 30 seconds (as per my setting) the screen fades to low light to conserve battery, but remains active.
As a result i have inadvertently pocket dialed quite a many and it's beginning to be a privacy concern and a pain in the butt for me and others. Not to mention the charges from the international number my phone self-dialed.
I'm using a TP-2 Rhodium OS 6.1.
As if the battery didn't suck enough, I needed this !!!
Any tips would be appreciated.
If the phone "used to" go to sleep but doesn't anymore, it sounds like a recently installed program or process is running in the background forcing it to stay on.
Does the phone refuse to go to sleep only after being woken up by an event?
...or does it not go to sleep on its own at all anymore?
Isn't pressing that button on the top just closing the screen?, unless you set it as the lock as well
I should have mentioned - the phone will go back to sleep mode if I manually operate the button on the top. Just that it won't go to sleep on its own anymore.
You may be right user602, about the recently installed apps, but is there any way to narrow down on the culprit instead of uninstalling all of them?

Go back and check the power settings again; make sure they are set to have the screen turn off. Change the settings to some other value and see if that helps. Maybe something just messed around with your registry entries.
If not, you will need to uninstall those programs, in reverse order, until the device works.
I'd start by changing the power settings as suggested by stevedebi above.
If that doesn't help, and you want to avoid uninstalling a bunch of stuff, you can look at what's running using Task Manager:
-Begin by stopping running programs one at a time, and seeing if the device will sleep.
-If that doesn't help, stop processes one at a time, and again see if the device will sleep (watch out for critical system processes, though).
...or if you're lucky, you may find something in the \windows\startup folder, such as a program you were not aware is starting on boot.
Of course, this all ends with uninstalling programs one at a time if none of the above suggestions work.

------- "I'd start by changing the power settings as suggested by stevedebi above."
I can swear i tried this before and it didn't work. Changed it one last time before doing anything else,... and voila !!!
Thanks 602 & stevedebi
That was easy!
I'm glad the simplest solution worked for you.
...That's usually not my luck!

It is my understanding that some gen8 devices aren't waking up from sleep when they go to sleep in a dimmer screen state. Thanks to a diligent XDA user with a 101, I was able to fix this problem.
To fix this, download SuperDim 1.51dev2 from http://code.google.com/p/superdim/downloads/list
Then go to Menu | Options, and check "Fix no-wake-from-sleep". That's all: it should now work.
My testing indicates that low brightness levels aren't enough to switch the backlight from off to on. So what the SuperDim fix option does is that when the device awakes with a low brightness setting, it first sets 22% brightness, which is enough to activate the backlight, and only then sets the desired lower brightness level.
I reported both the bug and the fix to Archos.
It might be possible to make the fix work without root if there is enough demand.
I would very much like to have a fix without having to root my 101!
I installed and to exactly what u introduced but I still have that issue now. Im realy disappointed. Is there any other methods
yes i also tested it - but somehow i didnt see the feature while waking up - but when going to sleep - this somehow is weird and useless - might be the reason for not working for others
Sleep: press power - screen gets brighter -> get darker -> off
Wake up: press power -> wake up by luck
perhaps recontact the develoeper something might be messed up
(i didnt take the version u mentioned - but the latest maket version wich is newer)
So, let me get clearer on what's happening. You have SuperDim installed, and its "fix wake from sleep" option is activated. And you're still not having the device wake from sleep when the screen is dimmed. Right?
If you can install adb on your PC, or install an ssh daemon on your device and connect to the device via ssh from your PC, you can help me diagnose the problem.
Well I hoped my explanation was clear enough - it is what u said + the point that the function u explained in post 1 doesn't happen while waking up but instead when going to sleep...
Device is on (screen is dimmed, archos option is on) -> press power -> screen gets brighter -> screen gets darker -> off
Device is in sleep -> press power -> wake up by luck
Anyway I got ssh woring thought putty(win) and UD ssh daemon.
ADB is also installed on my pc but i nerver used it
EDIT:
hey - btw i asked u for the cycle funktion some time ago and noticed u implemented it now - and a lot of other things
Thanks for that - somehow i lost track of your app since i had exams
Anyway i just noticed i have the turn-on bug also when I don't use your app sometimes... (even when the screen is not dimmed at all) so there must be another problem also i suppose
Regarding the cycle funktion i noticed a "strange" behaviour:
"night 1" -> 3x cycle -> ends in "day 2" (thast right)
but
"night 1" -> 2x cycle -> "night 1" -> cycle -> ends in "day 2" also and not in "night 2" (so it seems u forgot to ask for the current state while cycling though the modes)
anyway I would be glad if u would make a cycle+ and a cycle-

Have you tried SuperDim, now known as RootDim, and its sleep of death fix option?
I posted in another thread about a problem with ICS concerning "Touch Key Light Duration", but feel it needs it's own thread.
My problem is "Touch Key Light Duration". Seems to be a problem with the little bit I googled. I can set it the duration to "Always On, but it has a mind of it's own. Somethings will turn off the light; I have to go back into the settings to reset the light.
I've played with all of the power setting, power saving, display settings I can find, but cannot find a way to keep the lights on the way I want. I've done Factory Reset, I've changed the duration, changed power settings,etc to no avail.
Anybody else having this problem?
Anybody have a solution, or an app to fix this?
Same problem here.....I had to choose 6 seconds option in order to get it to work.
I have exact same thing as droid_ra.
I hope somebody will come up with a fix, it's really annoying.
Are you guys running Stock? If so ICS or GB?

Didn't have the problem with GB.
Now I'm running stock ICS. I even tried to do a wipe and reinstall with no success. May try it again.
Haven't tried rooting yet, although I've read in another thread that it may fix it.
I'm running stock ICS rooted, but the problem started right after I upgraded from GB to ICS.
So this problem is not ROOT dependent, but rather ICS's fault.
Like a someone else said, if you adjust it to 6 seconds delay, it will work properly.
However, I like to keep it at "Always On".
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I too have the same problem. I'm running stock ICS that has been rooted. I did not have the problem when I was running stock GB that was rooted. Hmmm....
I was looking for confirmation and a fix when I created this thread.
Looks like a bug and Samsung/T-Mobile needs to fix this one.
Perhaps a dev can look into this?
yeah this is quite annoying. "always on" just simply doesn't work. 6-seconds is what I use now but I really wish I could go back to "always on" and have it work. Again, all since ICS update. Overall pretty please with the update but this and the mobile-life sync thing are annoying...
Same problem here, not rooted but happened going from GB to ICS, will have an Siii this week so hoping it's not an issue there.
Work Around
Hey guys I found a work around.
I used tasker and screen filter together to make the backlights light up whenever I turn the screen on.
I made a new tasker profile with the event Display On then put one screen filter task set to 96% and softkey lights off and another screen filter task right after it at 100% and softkey lights on. It takes a split second after turning the display on but 90% of the time it works every time.

You go into your tasker app then hit new. Then after you name it, it will pop up with "first context" and choose event--->display--->display on.

Did you get it to work? The only problem is that tasker is a paid app but its great for little workarounds like these.
I'm still reading how to use the tasker app. I think I understand the event section figured out but having some trouble figuring out the actions (e.g., "filter task set to 96% and softkey lights off....").
LifeHacker has two great articles: here http://lifehacker.com/5599116 and here http://lifehacker.com/5601133. I also downloaded the 14 day trial here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/download.html . That way I can decide if I want to spend the money. Right now, it looks like I will.

I guess I could have been a little bit more specific...
There are two apps to download "Tasker" and "Screen Filter."
You open up Tasker then hit "new". After naming your profile hit okay then "First Context" window will appear. Hit "event". Then "Select Event Category" will appear. Hit "Display" then "Display On". The priority box will pop up but just hit "done". That is your event that triggers the actions. You should then be in "Task Edit". Click the "+" sign then "Plugin" then "Screen Filter". You should see "edit" across from "configuration". Click on edit then adjust the brightness to 96.1% (not 100% on the first one because it wont work right) then uncheck the "enable soft-key backlight" box. Hit save. Now add the second action by hitting the "+" sign again and do the same steps except this time have the brightness at 100% and the box checked for "enable soft-key backlight". The second action toggles the backlight therefore enabling it and also gets rid of the notification in the status bar. After you are finished hit "done" and then make sure to hit "apply". Test it out!
Got it! Thanks again. I was missing the "Screen Filter" app. I have the Task (event and action) up and running. It didn't work first try because the "Settings / Display / Touch key light duration" was set at "6 seconds." When I changed it to "always on" it started working. I'm looking forward to really getting into "Tasker!"
Had the same problem on every single rom!!

Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.
Hello all. I just decided to retire my Vibrant yesterday and got an S3. I haven't changed much on it. I'll run it stock for quite a while. I am using a custom launcher, etc.
My battery life is horrible though! It's not even noon and I'm already down to 35%. I've made sure S Voice is not set to wake up when I talk to it. My weather was set to update every 15 minutes by default, but I've changed it to every hour. I charged it in the van on the way to take kiddos to school, and it was at 80ish percent. So that's quite a drop in not a long time. Granted, it's new, so I'm playing with it.
What tips can you give me to get the best battery life I can out of it? Besides custom ROMs. I'm not even rooted. Yet.
Well how long has your screen been on? That will be the determining factor in your battery life. Like you said, it is new and you are playing with it so I am willing to bet that probably has something to do with it.
Otherwise, turn data off when you aren't using it and keep the screen brightness as low as possible.
Here's what I do with a freshly flashed rom. I pretty much drill down through every setting turning off what I dont need.
WiFi - turn off network notification.
More Settings - Everything off
Sound - turn off everything below "System"
Display - Auto brightness off. Timeout 1min. Smart Stay off. Touch key always on or off. Auto Adj Screen Tone off. Battery% on.
Power Saving - Off.
Accounts and Sync - Off
Location Svcs - Off
Language and Input - Voice Cmd off. Voice Recognizer (all off for google and Samsung). Voice Search all off. TTS driving mode off.
Backup and Reset - can't remember what its listed under but below carrier data press to open and uncheck collect data (this is carrier iq, so I removed it asap once rooted)
Accessory - all off
Developer Options - set animation scales to 0.5x.
Hope that helps. I keep a lot off and only turn stuff on when I need it. There's some pretty cool features but for me it doesn't hurt my experiance with the phone to not use a lot of them.

Ah. My screen was set to stay on for 10 minutes. That, I would imagine, was a large part of my problem. At least according to my battery stats. Why do they set that as default??

I just did almost all of these. With the WiFi detection off, will I need to manually find my home network each time I get back home?
Also, if I turn Voice Command off, I won't be able to push the button and say "Listen to blah blah blah" or "Navigate to ....." correct?

I am on CM10 so I am not sure where it is for stock Touchwiz, but I would assume you could go to settings > display > screen timeout and change it there.
Yes, turning off data would mean no push email or Google Talk messages. You could download an app that turns off your data when you turn the screen off, then on when you turn the screen on and your emails and messages would come through then.

I should have also mentioned I turn off wifi and data when I don't need it to, which is rare but it happens at times!
By turning off the wifi notification, the only change is it won't give you a notification in status bar that there's an open network nearby that you could connect to. Itll still auto connect to any network you've already got configured.
For voice cmd, it won't let svoice open apps for you. But for example in navigation you can still hit the mic button on keyboard and speak your destination.

Can you upload a Screenshot of your battery screen... It will make it a lot easier to look at

On the Wifi issue. What I do with regards to wifi, is if I know that I am not going to be near an open connection, I turn it off. When I am at work, there is no wifi nearby that I can connect to. So I use Mobile Data instead. Why you ask? It is because when you have your wifi on, in the back ground it is always scanning for a signal. Turn that off and no scan, then no drain for something that you are not using at moment.
I know that this is a bit deeper than you wanted to go, but in the Build.Prop you can put a setting [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=] and you can set that out. The time in there is the time duration on scanning intervals based on seconds. So the setting wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180 means that it scans for wifi and doesn't find one, then counts off 180seconds and scans again.<--This is what I have mine set too, btw.
Disable the wifi when your not using it.
I have changed my preferences on settings>Notifications >watsapp to high importance with sound so that I no longer receive a message preview in a balloon. It works all day however every morning wake up to it having reset itself to urgent which then allows pop up messageson screen.
How can I save these settings without them having being reset everyday. Many thanks
Interesting, I'm actually finding a few things that aren't saving persistently, though I thought they were related to Bluetooth or my car.
Specifically, my car (2017 Challenger with Uconnect) asks about message permissions almost every time it connects, and smartlock asks me if I want to save the device each time. Additionally, I notice the screen timeout settings default back to 15 seconds when I was set at 1 minute.
I'm also plugged into Android Auto when this is happening. So there's a lot of variables. Just posting here so we can see if others have common issues.
