Turning screen off, looks odd.

When I press the power button on my GN to turn the screen off it doesn't just go straight off like say the iPhone does, it kind of disappears down to a weird white line and then goes off. Its like the days of really old TVs where it went to a white dot when the crt turned off.
Does this happen to anyone else?

It's a feature.

That is how it supposed to be. It is an animation from Google since the Gingerbread builds

Lol, really? Each to his own I suppose. At least I know it's not a faulty display.
Thanks.

No of course it's not a faulty display
It's a really awesome little feature when turning off the device. I love it!

Haha, yeah, when I updated my Desire to CM7 I spent ages just turning it on and off to watch it. I'd be VERY sad if they removed that feature.
(I'm easily pleased)

Unfortunately I do not have this feature with my SGN.
I cannot find the option to enable it also through settings at all.
Anyone got any idea how to enable this?

I don't think u need to enable it... Its already there..... When you hit the lock button, u will see your phone do a CRT like animation.

When I turn the screen off I definitely don't have it. I used to have it on my Desire with Gingerbread (Miui XJ). I used to be able to enable it in the options but I definitely don't have it on my SGN???

That's because the SGS is running a bastardized version of Android, like all TouchWiz devices. If you were to flash CM or an AOSP-based build you would have it.

I LOL'd when I read this post, are you just trying to troll?
You might be able to turn it off if you go into display settings, or just wait until CM9 comes out, it gives you an option to turn it off in the CM Settings as well as the ability to make the animation appear when turning it on.
I highly doubt you bought a Nexus and bought the XDA premium app without knowing about this Gingerbread feature

Lol funny post. I remember when video was leaked of gingerbread and all it was was that screen off animation.
Slickest thing I ever saw lol

Lollll. This has been in Android since 2.3. Its a nerdy throwback to CRT monitors/TV's.

I love watching it worth wasting the precious battery for!

any way to lower the brightness of the led notification?

I love the led notification, nothing like waking up in the middle of the night and looking over and knowing you don't have any notifications because the light isn't going off... but when I don't need a flashlight BECAUSE it's going off it gets annoying... I wanna be able to go to sleep if I'm ignoring it; yet have it there to know I have things to look at.
(first world problem I know)

Just turn it off???
Sure its nice to know if you have a message from afar but really? One of the first things I did when I got my GS3 and Note 2 was go into settings/display/LED Indicator/and unselect all boxes.

i don't think you can lower the intensity, but you can turn off the notifications and us an app called NoLED. it puts a notification on your screen instead. since OLED only lights up the active pixels the drain should be any more than the notification light. i use it with my sammy droid charge that has no notification lights.

Why not just go into settings and turn on Blocking Mode?
You can set the time frame it's active. It can keep led off, notifications, phone calls etc. You can change the settings for it.

Yep it worked. is there anyway to get rid of the blocking notification?

From what I know, it remains in the notification panel, as long as Blocking is turned on.

There's a mod for it. Its in the development forum. Im not near a computer or I would find it for you.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

if it gets fully charged it will turn it on by default.

Screen stays on ALL NIGHT

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks

Do you have motion on?

Reboot?

experienced this after upgrading to 4.1.2 weeks ago. backed up everything, complete-wipe then reflashed my rom(always on stock). no more issues. must have been a hiccup.

I had this even when I was on 4.1.1. Thought the upgrade would solve it for me but it didn't. Tough luck. Still searching for 3rd party apps that could give me a permanent solution.

i noticed this problem sometimes with 4.1.1 but not with 4.1.2

I dun have a fix to this problem but I have a tasker profile that turns the screen off when battery is fully charged. You might want to try that as an interim.

What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

There's a button on the side for that
Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

I had that problem when using smart stay and smart rotation settings turned on in display settings. After I turned them off the screen shut off after 30 seconds as it should every time.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Yes I noticed when 'smart stay' is turned on it causes the screen to stay on all the time. It's not a perfect feature. So I've turned it off
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?

It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
