is it normal that the backlight is always on when synced to activesyn via cable?
yes because its charging aswell. you can turn it off in backlight settings in, settings > system > backlight.

This setting does nothing for this problem.
I have this exact same problem with my HTC touch. WHenver I plug it into the PC to sync, th ebacklight comes on. I turn it off with the power button, but it comes back on about 30 seconds later. Rinse, repeat.
ActiveSync seems to want to keep turning the screen on. Since I want to sync and charge my phone overnight this is not good for me, I am worried about it reducing the lif eof my screen not to mention the wasted power.
Is there any way to disable this, to tell the phone to *NOT* power up the screen while synching? Or at least disable the backlight?
This question is being posted all over the web - no one seems to have any answers.

Don't worry about it, LCD screen have a long life-time.
You change your phone before it dies.
If you still want to turn off the screenlight, but keep sync on, you need to use 3rd part programs, like "DisOff"

Hi.
Got my TouchHD had it for awhile now, however i have recently noticed...
I have the setting Ticked for;
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 30seconds.
Turn off device if not used for - 2minutes.
So, after waiting 30seconds the backlight will go out, should i touch the screen, remove the stylus.... the screen will stay dim unless 1 of 2 things are done:
Turn device off then back on OR;
Goto Settings > Power > Backlight > Then make a adjustment to the slider.
This is rather annoying now.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yeah, it's either designed this way or its a bug.
I got very used to tapping the power button with this device. Its now a habit to control the back light. I hate iPhone comparisons, but I did this on the iPhone as a habit to save battery. Definitely, not the same issue on the HD with its amazing battery life.
I can only find a setting for turning off the device which I don't want to do because sometimes I sync files and I don't want the phone to turn off in the middle. Surely there is a way to turn off the screen though? It bugs me that it is always on when the phone is charging.
Thanks!
Go to Menu > Settings > Power >
Then click the advanced tab along the bottom
and if you only want the backlight to turn off and keep the device powered while charging
On external power:
enable turn off backlight (and choose after how many minutes)
disable turn off device if not used
Isnt turning the device off turning the screen off? As in throwing the device into standby?
When my X1 is in standby (after pushing the power button), I can still access it from my computer...
Hi
I have search all forums but not finding any answear.
I have S2U2 installed.
And all worked fine until today when my backlight didn't turn off (set backrounflight to 30 sec), neither did the phone turn off (set turn off to 1 min).
I have set the parameters in settings->power
Also in S2U2.
But the backlight just dimmer, not turn off, and the phone do not either turn off.
Can anybody help me??
Please!
taht usually happens when your connected via active sync, it will just dimmer, but u can change, goto settings > system > power > backlight and tick it off if you dont it to dimmer. hope that helps
For some reason my screen just dims instead of turning off when I dont use the phone. If I press the hang up button it goes off like normal but if I just set it down it dims and stays on, draining my battery... Has anyone else experienced this?

I take it you've already checked your backlight settings in Settings, Power ?
Yes and I have done a soft reset as well. I'm not really a "phone guy" so I hope this is something easy to fix....
Hello,
The way I have my device setup to get round this problem is this:
Go to Settings>Sound&Display> then scroll down until you see Display then click on Backlight.
On the page that appears, scroll down to "On Battery Power". Here put a tick in the box "Dim Backlight..." and set the time you want to allow before this function kicks in (mine is set at 2 mins).
Next, move down to "Turn off Device..", put a tick in here, and then set how long you want the device to stay on for before it goes off (mine is set at 3 mins).
You can use whatever time settings you feel comfortable with. Please note that it is the setting for "Turn Device Off..." that will blank your screen for you. The other setting simply dims it and leaves it running, as you have said before.
If battery performance is an issue for you, take the tick off "Automatically adjust backlight" and put in your own settings. So here, for example, I have my backlight on battery permanently set at 30% and on External Power, 60%.
The screen is so big you get blinded at anything above 60% (well at least I do).
Hope this helps.

thanks but it's not because of this. after hit thelock button, the screen stops for a second then starts again ... and so without stopping
I would also like to disable the trackball. It has been acting haywire. Makes typing a pain.
