HTC one x turn off screen without going to standby

Hi guys
does anyone know how to completely turn off the screen without going to standby.
i am asking this coz i want to listen to only the audio of some of my video files and i dont want the screen to suck the battery life

Hm... Set the brightness to lowest for workaround...

Use an app called wakelock on the play store and select the first option "PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK"

Just change the sleep setting to never in display menu.

NO that does not work

Not being rude but if you want just the audio why not convert them to an audio file? Then you can just turn the screen off.
There loads for windows/mac/linux and even a few for android.

yeah that is one solution but i really want to know how to turn off the screen with video still playing, cause i dont want to have both audio and video files separately for the same media file

This app has a play in background option which should be what you're looking for

Disable Hardware Button Backlight?

I've read somewhere that this is possible by running a script or something. I do not feel comfortable doing that so was wondering if there is an app or a flashable mod that will help me achieve this?
Thanks

You can install a custom rom that allows this.

They all probably have this option just look at the features list.

Please can someone share the script or point me to the right direction? The backlight is a bit anoying, even while waching youtube. I would love to know the trick.

Try to search for "htc one x power saver settings" on google, and download it, and in that app untick the first option above the "minimal cpu" option. Sorry my device is not english, thats why i dont know the names of options if that doesnt work, look around in the default settings, what can set or affect your messages while in sleep mode...

not sleeping as in the cpu is not in deep sleep or the screen remains unlocked? If the screen remains unlocked then check your screen time out settings. if the cpu is not in deep sleep then it may be a kernel issue(didn't repacked when you're supposed to).

Thanks and double thanks....
Saved me from resetting...
My 1 yr kid reached the quicksettings when i was in sleep mode

I'm not sure whether the apps can do it or not, but you can check some parental control apps to see whether you can disable your kids from changing the settings so that things like these won't happen again

Try installing phone lock, apps lock application or anything like that to completely lock your phone and/or applications.
It'll be much more simple than to disabled the stock lock screen.
