What is the impact on battery, and what are your settings?
Sent from my LG-E988 using Tapatalk
It does some effect on battery.
To use, open app and select double tap,then select screen on.

Drains big time! Thanks though.

You are great
I think this app wakelock the screen so it always on, but then replace display with all black image so it looks like screen off.
How to know? Use a charger.
When screen really off, notification LED should turn red (indicate of charging when screen off)
But when use this app, LED blinks only once then come off, and the display black condition is slightly different than before.
Another proof, use Quickmemo button
You can screen capture the screen off!
In original screen off you can't capture screen (because it really doesn't display anything)
No wonder it drains the battery.

So the app basically keeps the screen on. I'll pass.

Is it just me that gets this? I hold the power on button, thereafter it vibrates and it takes about 5 seconds I think until it displays anything on screen. Is this normal?

Also, sometimes the screen goes dimmer and brighter by itself, why?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
It does the same thing for me... Never really though anything of it. The screen diming might be due to auto screen brightness option, which is fixed in 2.3.4. There is also a disbale auto brightness app for sale in the market if you dont wanna do the firmware update. It drove me nuts waiting for 2.3.4...

This is a stock setting from Sony Ericsson to save power. This may be removed, after root, with a 3rd party app.

My screen lags when R button and Volume up are held then i press the screen (buzzes once), for 5-10 seconds, my phone freezes then it buzzes twice and is back to normal
My phone also outputs a bugreport txt each and every time this occurs, here's the most recent one (stupid mediafire wont let me upload it unzipped)
Never mind, figured out that it's simply a shortcut to create the file

Mine does this too, i was never too concerned with it, i just assumed, with the larger capacity, it just too longer to load up. It only takes a few seconds, not bad in my opinion.

This was already answered, but just to reemphasize, it can be disabled in your settings menu, however doing so, will leave the screen constantly at whatever level you choose, so expect some additional battery drain.
anyone else's phone slow in doing any thing internet based? My internet is quite slow when not connected to wifi as is market, it is even slower than my old San Francisco. Anyone know why this could be? I have full bars of connection and would like an explanation, thanks!

Do the touch key lights just stay off when the phone is low on battery because right now mine are off and I have it on always on but my battery is very low.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you do not use any batterh saver app, the system just acts as you set up it on settings > display > touch key light duration
You can change the time from there.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
But if your touch light is always off on low battery then you may need to check wether any application is intercepting your default settings.

you did not answer my question...
it happened when my phone went into critical mode maybe it was just an bug because after it died and I turned it back on they were on.
My second post. Which rom are you using? If you do not use any tweaked version nor any battery saver app, system won't turn off the light.

Mine shut off once the battery gets critically low, also screen dims even though I have auto brightness off.
It makes sense why it does that though.
I have the Samsung Flip Cover on my GN2. I would like to have the screen turn off whenever I close the cover. Is there a setting or app that does this?
Thanks.
Ah just found this. Will see if it works
Pseudo-Smart Cover - Cover turns screen off when closed.

** Of the Market Apps available, Screen Standby seems to work the best for me.
I've been using Intellicover for this very purpose and it works great. Once you have it set up. The whole idea is annoying for when you accidentally slide over the proximity sensor and your screen goes dark.
But on the plus side, I can now "magically" turn my phone on by waving my hand over it!

Yeah it can be a pain in the butt, especially when writing notes and you keep turning the screen off. I eventually decided to just push the power button before I close the front cover.

I found "case sensor for tablets" in play when I had my tab. It should work. It might also be paid? Cool thing about it was you can set a timer so it turns off say 3 seconds after closed vs if you accidentally cover it.

I use "proximity screen off" it works great and has lots of options, Like delay so you won't accidently turn off. And an excluded apps list so you can turn it off in certain apps only.there is a Free version too. I donated its a great app.

I don't like how the screen stays on while charging, I know theater mode can turn it off but I have to get into theater mode every night and I know there is a trick with ambient display from the app but this also takes time. Is there a way to just have the watch turn off the screen ALWAYS when charging without my asking it to?

Get an app called slumber. It does what you're looking for.

Actually slumber didn't work very well for me buy I ended up finding a thing online saying to go into developer options and change the setting, THAT worked wonders

I confirm that setting it "backwards" from what you expect does what you want. Someone's boolean logic was off when they programmed that setting.

This worked for me too. Setting is reversed.
Once on charge, I get the charging screen for about 15 seconds then it turns off and stays off! Perfect!
i can confirm that the setting is reversed
however, this feature isn't all that reliable (the screen doesn't always turn off)

You gotta dock with the screen on. 90% off the time it works every time

Can't seem to figure it out. Sometimes when I pick up the phone the screen automatically turns on to a black screen with htc lock screen widget (not the one wen you manually wake the phone) and it bothers me. Where can I go to to disable this?
