Aren't you confusing something?
* On: The user is interacting with the device. Everything is on.
* BacklightOff: There has been a brief period of user inactivity (no one has pressed any buttons or touched a touchscreen). The backlight has been turned off, but everything else is on. When you set the backlight timeout values in the control panel, you're setting how long the system should wait before going into this state. (Note that this state is new for WM 5.)
* UserIdle: There has been a longer period of user inactivity. Both the backlight and LCD have been turned off. When you set the screen timeout value on a Smartphone control panel, you're setting how long the system should wait before going into this state. This state is generally not used on PocketPC. There's no reason to turn the screen off when the device is about to go to sleep (sleeping turns the screen off). However, if/when PocketPCs go to the "Always On" model, they'll start using this state.
* ScreenOff: You go into this state when someone specifically says to turn the screen (and backlight) off. For instance, in Media Player you can assign a button to turn the screen off. When you press it, we go into this state. This state is different than UserIdle, though. This state says, "The user wants the screen off and doesn't want it to turn back on." UserIdle says, "The user hasn't touched any buttons in a while, so we might as well turn the screen off to save power." In ScreenOff, pressing a button (other than the power button) doesn't turn the screen back on. In UserIdle, pressing a button does turn the screen back on. Both PocketPC and Smartphone use this state.
* Unattended: This is a confusing state in which the screen, the backlight, and the audio are off. I won't go into too many details, other than to say that this is a PocketPC-only state that is used by applications which need to do things without alerting the user. While the PocketPC is in this state, the user thinks the device is asleep. For instance, ActiveSync when it syncs every 5 minutes. It's waking up, syncing, and going back to sleep, but the user can't tell.
* Resuming: This is the state the PocketPC goes into when it wakes up from sleep. In this state, the screen is off, and there is a very short (15 second) timer before it goes back to sleep. The only way to keep the device from going back to sleep is to have something put it into one of the other states. This is really for dealing with spurious wakeups and for giving the system a way to get into Unattended without letting the user know about it.
* Suspended: This is the PocketPC "Sleep" state. Everything is off, and the system isn't going to wake back up until some piece of hardware wakes it up. It's not actually an official Power Manager state, the way the other six are, but I'm including it for completeness.

When you hit power button once, you go to Screen Off (Sleep). Suspended is when your device 'completely' off.
not the backlight
help
when on battery power my device goes to sleep after 15 seconds (screen goes off) ,when you press on/off button (wake up button) it comes back to the screen i was using apart from when using google maps or copilot i have changed settings in (settings-backlight) but it still happens i dont think it anything to do with the back light. It never use to it, do i need to change a registry setting
Hi guys
Does ne1 know of an app that'll take me to my home screen when I press the power button? Sometimes when I turn off my screen I'm reading an email or something. And then when I switch on my phone again I'm shown the screen/app I was in when I turned it off.
I like my phone to always (automatically) show my my home screen when I turn on the screen - can this be done?

I've noticed that my USB devices sleep with power polling (checking for a wake command, I'm guessing) after the screen goes off. I see my numlock key and LED in my mouse turn off, but blink on every 10-15 seconds. My volume keys on the device also do not wake it (I have an app to do that). If they numlock and LED on the mouse come on I can wake the Xoom with any of the three. Is there any way to keep these devices on? And will doing this allow the Xoom to "sleep" and not drain all day?
I recently started having an issue that when I make a phone call and then hit my power button to turn the screen off, it keeps popping back on after a few seconds. It will not stay off.
I dont think its a proximity sensor issue because when I hold it to my face or cover it with my finger, the screen will go off.
Its not good because when I make a call and then turn the screen off and put it in my pocket, the screen will come on and buttons get activated. I have noticed that if I dial and THEN hit HOME key and then use power button to deactivate, screen will stay off. But I dont always remember to do it that way and dont understand why suddenly just using the power button no longer works.
Any advice?
