so when i am on battery, i have the options to turn off the backlight after 10 seconds. but the darn thing wont turn off after 10 seconds.
it ends up turning off after a 1 minutes or, but yet i have 10seconds specifically chosen.
and sometimes my brightness goes way back up and the selection to 2minutes.
why can't it registered what i want? 10seconds is all i ask for lol

I could swear in WM5 and the leaked WM6, that I was able to have the Treo go into "standby" mode after a few seconds. I've searched on this phone and can not find the setting. Under Settings/Today/Items there is a "today timeout", which increments by hours. What does this do when/when not set? Under Settings/Power/Advanced there is "On battery power", which increments by minutes. This seems like the correct setting, but after about 1 minute the backlight goes off, but does not "turn off". Then there is the setting for Backlight, which I have set for 30 seconds. WOW! There is just too much goin on here, and I can't remember how to get this thing in standby after just a few seconds of idle.

check the brightness and power settings
Backlight is set to turn off after 10 seconds, which the screen actually dims. Then after another bit of time the screen dims even more, but I can still see the Home Screen. Power is set to "Turn off device if not used for" 1 minute, but the device doesn't seem to "turn off" at all What does the "Today Timeout" do? I have it unchecked but only has choices for hour increments.
"Today Timeout" is for the calendar (how far in advance should the calendar display appointments).
The power and backlight settings are the right controls for what you are trying to accomplish. Have you configured and enabled both battery and external power settings?
Hello,
I have a motorola Q9, but he previously had a Qtek S200 and a HTC X7500, and the operation was similar in the next related aspect.
The fact is I set the backlight to be shut down after 15 seconds, and that turns off the screen after a minute.
Well, after 15 seconds the backlight low intensity, but fails to shut down altogether.
After a minute, the screen was set off correctly.
It is possible to force the light goes out completely before it turns off the screen?
Thanks
not sure about motorola but
on htc devices it works like this
after the first timeout it turn off the backlight of the screen and then it dont use much power really
after the second timeout it turn off the device not just the screen
My Fuze started going to sleep while connected to power even though it is set not to!
I have checked the settings under
Settings>System>Power>Advanced.
Set to:
On Battery Power:
X - Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec
X - Turn off device if not used for 1 min
On External Power:
- Turn off backlight if device is not used for ...
- Turn off device if not used for ...
That is, Both boxes under external power are not checked, yet the device turns off the screen anyway after about 30 seconds either on or off power!! A press of any key while on power will bring it back on. On battery a touch of any key within 30 seconds will bring it back on, then after 30 seconds, I will have to press the power button to turn it back on.
I decided that it must be a software error, so I reloaded, AT&T Stock ROM, Skip Bloat, and it is still acting the same way.
Any suggestions???
Open the following registry key:
\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Batt
Look for the value of PowerOff. If it´s not 0, set it to 0 an see if this helps.

I have a key "BattPowerOff" I assume this is the one you are talking about, as there is no folder for "Batt".
It was set at 180. I have changed it to 0. I will see how it goes and report back.
Thanks!
After reg change above and soft reset, same behavior. Phone display switches off after 30 sec. While on bat, if I click any key within 30 sec of display switching off, it comes back on, after 30 secs, must push power key.
While on power, display switches off after 30 sec, and will come back with press of any key at any time.
Any more ideas?
bump - anyone???
Hi guys,
So I set my display timeout to 30 seconds. After 20 seconds the screen dims to an insanely low brightness, like 10%. Then in another 10 seconds it locks (which it is supposed to) Is there a way to make the screen not dim and just immediately lock after 30 seconds? Another thing is after the screen locks after thirty seconds, if I wake the device within 5 seconds I don't have to re-enter my password, despite the fact that I set my phone to lock immediately when it falls asleep.

I have set the screen timeout to 2 minutes and the display is turning of in 30 seconds no matter which time i select. Is this a known bug? It's actually only 15 seconds before the screen shuts off. I just picked the phone up today, I'm going to exchange it
