You need to get NoSleep!! or NoSleep_Raphael.cab (something like that). Diamond Tweek and Advanced Configuration can also help you turn off Fast Sleep.
Even with one of these installed, sometimes the Fuze confounds me and shuts the screen off during a long call.
But it has nothing to do with the brightness level that you select in Power settings.
Also check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446306, and all of the Raphael forums.

Ok so I have a little problem with my HTC Diamond. In options I set to turn-off the backlight after 10s of inactivity which is standard. The problem is that after those 10s I can see that the screen backlight is fading out but it doesn't fade out completly - if you look from an angle it might appear that it's off but if you look at the front of the phone or simply in the dark you can see that the backlight is still on only set to something near 10 or 5%. As you know the battery just sucks in this device and I don't want the backlight to drain it so any ideas or tips on this matter? Of course I can put the phone to sleep mode but I'd just prefer to make the backlight turning off so I can take a look at the screen to for example check the time without having to press any buttons...
Same problem here
After those 10s the screen is not turning off completly, just fading to 5, 10 %. The screen with all the info, the home page let us say, is still visible and drains the battery. I also could just press the power button to turn is completly off, but I would also prefer it to do this manually after ten second.
Did you find a solution to this problem yet?
Help Battery Drain
Same thing here, and my Backlight is stuck to 100% i think,
anyone found a solution to this? any hints?
Guys, i assume youve set the "turn off device if not used for xxx mins" correctly whilst in battery and external power correctly?
If you have, what roms are you using as you give us no information to help any further
Hello,
I had the same problem with ROM 2.03.421.2, date 12/24/08.Back then I had SPB mobile shell installed and a very few applications and I couldn't find the problem. I made a hard reset so now, with nothing installed, the device also enters standby. You should take care because it is possible that the device is not entering standby either and it is making calls. When I had this problem my friends were complaining that I kept calling them and not talking. It is strange as I'm sure I put the device to sleep with the power button. But still, somehow, it was making calls...
My XDA Serra (Touch Pro) will let me view the screen for about 20 seconds before it switches off. Not just a backlight dim, but a full switch off. If I keep poking the screen it will stay on, but then I end up selecting something on screen.
My settings for the screen make no difference and it's making the thing unusable. Anyone know of a decent backlight / power management software that can take it by the scruff of the neck and make it behave?
Thanks.

Check your power off button isn't stuck pushing down forcing phone to turn off. It has reportedly happened on a number of other devices
No, I just checked. Seems to be OK. Thanks
Have you tried flashing another rom?
If not try that, and if that doesn't work, the lock button must make contact somehow as fallen spartan says.
Solved.
I had to uncheck all the power management crap, soft re-set, and then. Re-check the settings I wanted.
Don't you just love WM...?
Hey, My backlight keeps dimming everytime I power on my HTC from sleep. When it's sleeping (just tapping the power button so the screen turns off) the backlight goes really dark when I turn it back on yet the HTC power settings say it's on bright. When I move the bar back and forward the backlight's brightness goes back to its original state. Can someone help me find a fix? I am running tweaks and stuff but I haven't messed with it lately. Hope someone knows what i did wrong if i did anything
Also, Does the HTC Touch Pro accept 32GB cards? If not, is there a way to make it do so? Because I heard there was a way but not told how. All I know is that you have to hack the battery or something.
Thanks alot
Running cm7 and having problems with the soft key LED backlight. Sometimes they are on, sometimes they are not. Sometimes when i turn on the phone they are on, after I unlock they turn off after a few seconds. Nothing I do can turn them back on after they turn off but they will turn back on randomly. Is this common? Is this a warranty issue?
Has anyone else had this issue?
I've had that problem on all AOSP roms. Though luckily CM7 has an option to fix it. I believe it's under CyanogenMod settings and backlight settings. I don't quite remember. I'll have to check and let you know exactly.
Go to CM settings and then to Display. Select automatic backlight, scroll down and check use custom. You're going to go into edit other levels and in the right column you'll see buttons. The default is 30 and if you change the value higher you'll increase the button backlight and they'll stop randomly coming on.

That worked perfectly! I never would have thought to even look there. Thanks a
Does it do this in complete darkness? A lot of roms (or maybe it's kernel settings, or both) use the light sensor to turn off the soft key lights when it's bright enough to see them but when you're in poor or no light, they stay on. It should save you battery and I actually like it.
Think the first rom I used was gingeritis and it had this feature and thought my soft key lights were burning out.
If you already know this or if it was happening in darkness, then ignore my post. Maybe some dust got in your sensor?

It was dark enough that I couldn't read the writing on the soft keys so of figured something was up but I figured it out. Thanks
Can't for some reason find an option anywhere on the phone to stop this from happening. Every time I'm on a call after about 10 seconds the screen will dim and a few seconds later goes to black. Can tap on screen 2x to wake it up again but I don't want this to ever happen. Not connected to full device shut down that I have turned up to 5 mins so has nothing to do with that setting. Can anyone assist and help me stop this form happening all the time? Many thanks!

Go to Settings/ Accessibility/ Screen reader/ Under Voice Assistant tap settings then scroll down to Quick Menu, tap it, then look for Dark Screen toggle. Click this setting off.. Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you! I turned it off. Next time I'm on a call I'll see if it did the trick and post back.

Not sure then because that was the only thing I could find.. Maybe it's a setting that we don't have control over.. I do know that the screen is supposed to shut off when it's close to your face and the reason being is so that your face isn't pressing on stuff and making the phone do things you don't want it to be doing.. My moms face sure does seem to disable a lot of stuff like fast charging and even turning the screen brightness so low that she thought it was broken haha..

HA. No, phone is on a desk, not near my face. But yeah most phones nowadays do that. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else with any thoughts?
Tried replicating the problem on my end. I called someone, enabled speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
The screen indeed turned dim after 10 seconds and turned black afterwards. It bypassed my screen timeout setting which is 5 minutes. The phone app is in the foreground. Double tapping the screen wakes it up.
I minimized the phone app; the homescreen is now in the foreground. It adhered to the 5 minutes screen timeout setting.
I guess the temporary workaround is that after you answer the call, exit out of the phone app.

Hi. I had the same problem and found the solution using third party application: Screen On Call from Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vorlan.screenoncall.free
It is compatible with Samsung dialer. On the top later you have small button to prevent screen going dark or to disable it. Proximity sensor is working without problem when you hold the phone to the ear.

Yaaawhoooooooo!!! This totally works. I have been an Android user for years and could find an answer for this nowhere. Users, be sure to turn on "Appear on top".
Thank you. Life changing.
