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...

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"
Just a quick one..
I'm not sure if its to do with S2U2 (Slide to unlock), but whenever I've got a USB connection active for transferring music, as soon as the screen goes off, the USB disconnects.
Obviously annoying & potentially damaging to the microsd.
Any ideas?
H
Start - Settings - System - Power - Advanced - On External Power:
uncheck the Turn Off Backlight checkbox
and in S2U2 settings,
On External Power:
Lock when backlight turns off - OFF
Power off in - OFF
Hope that sorts it.
All the settings are as you said, realised even with S2U2 unloaded, it still happens. USB is set to charge the battery.
Think I'll forget it for now, going to be trying out custom roms over the coming days so device will be hard reset.
Cheers for your reply.
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
Is there a setting (or standalone app), that will turn off wifi after a set amount of time after the screen goes off? I know the stock system had much worse battery life if wifi was kept on, and I'm assuming the same with CM7?
Yes I know I can just turn it off manually, but I'd rather it just turn itself off after say five minutes of me pressing the power button or it turning the screen off itself, then restart wifi when I turn it back on.
Thanks
The app Wifi Keep Alive can keep it on, or turn off when screen turns off unless plugged in. But it doesn't have a timer feature.
You don't need an app to turn off wifi when the screen is off with CM7. Just go into menu/ settings/ wireless & network/ wifi settings/ press menu/ advanced/ and then change the wifi sleep policy to whichever setting you'd like.
On the stock rom wifi will turn off when the screen turns off. I think it is actually annoying.
anyone else having this issue ? i thought it was me at first but its done it more than once i used smart switch switching all my info from a s8 plus i dont know if something is corrupting it or i have a setting wrong

Yeah he told you to disable ADAPTIVE power saving off if you want to keep medium power saving on most of the time.
Oh u cant use bolth at the same time?
scroll down from home screen to open quick settings > tap and hold power mode > set adaptive power saving to off (it's the slider at the bottom).
So it's either one or the other? Not bolth at the same time?
Is the power mode supposed to turn off when u charge ur phone? I keep on having to toggle it back on when I take my phone off the charger I'm coming from a s8 I never had this issue before it was always on charging or not charging
