Anytime I connect the power supply to the VDA GPS/Toshiba G710, the screen gets dark. I found that it is only dimmed.
Is there a way to quickly light up the screen to normal again in order to continue work with AC adaptor?
This is really annoying, so I need to stop surfing the web or so when I am charging the device
Maybe there is a keyboard shortcut in order to light the screen again...?

I am looking for a stand-alone application which will toggle the screen and backlight which I can link to one of the buttons on my M700
Background: I am using the GPS for tracking on my phone. When I turn on the GPS & Logging I then turn the screen off using a short-cut from Pocket Power Manager.
Normally I would have to use the power button on the phone to bring the screen back BUT this disconnects the GPS so screws up and logs I am writing so looking to find an app which will purely turn the screen on (using remote control apps i can see with the screen off everything is still running there as normal)
have you tried holding the power button for 2-3 seconds?
in my htc universal it toggles the backlight off & back on again, without going into standby.
Mine doesn't seem to do that. Well it turns the screen back on but it also disconnects the GPS at the same time.
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
Hello all,
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I have an HTC EVO 4G on Sprint. I am looking for an app that will manage the backlight in a way more like Windows Mobile's own built-in management. Here's what I am looking for more specifically. When charging or plugged in, the backlight should be full brightness and the screen should never dim or turn off. When on battery, the backlight could be set to dim after xx minutes, or not dim. The device should then shut the screen off after xx minutes.
With Android's built-in settings, all I can come up with is the setting for the screen to never sleep when charging, which is oddly placed under Applications -> Development. The screen timeout setting applies to both battery and charging statuses.
Why? When the phone is plugged in, I like to be able to quickly glance at it for time or notifications. I don't like having to hit the power button to check these. When on battery, the phone is usually in my pocket so taking it out and pressing the power button are almost one motion. It saves battery as well.
Also, in the car, I always have the phone charging. I've noticed that some GPS and other programs will keep the backlight on, but others will not. I've seen some applications just allow the backlight to dim, so I have to keep touching the display to wake it up.
Does such an application exist? If not, doesn't anyone else want to see such an application made?
This is one of the little things that I miss about Windows Mobile 6.5.
Can your phone automatically dim or turn-off when placed on a table/desk?
I can't use the display when it rests flat on a table as it is too reflective and I can't swype/type/interact unless the phone is in my hand. The default auto-dim seems to activate only if no motion or input is detected. Thus, when I put the phone down, it needlessly burns minutes of battery power before dimming.
If a bubble-level app can detect whether a desk-top is flat/horizontal, why can't the phone dim to save power as soon as it is put down?
Ahah, the solution is a combination of two apps, neither of which work fully. Stay tuned...
Solved!
Tasker allows me to set up a phone orientation (flat on table) in which the screen is always dimmed. Meanwhile, it also allows me to set up more persistent LED/vibrate/flashlight notifications for missed calls, sms, emails, etc. Only drawbacks, the app itself is too expensive/complex/ugly.
Stock S6 (T-Mobile, 64GB, White). I have two different QI chargers (one is the TYLT Vu Wireless Charger (Qi) and the other is a CHOE stadium). The phone charges fine with both chargers, but the screen keeps turning on while charging and I can't seem to find a setting to disable this.
As soon as I put it on the charger, the screen turns on, so I hit the power button. Usually it turns back on within 5 seconds, so I hit the power button again. It will then stay off for a while, but if I wake up in the middle of the night the screen is back on again. Any ideas what is causing this?
I have noticed that the screen tends to turn on when I get a notification or when the "searching for GPS" pops up on the lock screen, but in both cases the display will dim but it will not turn all the way off.
Edit - forgot to mention that I get the same results regardless of whether or not the phone is in a case.
I got the same thing with portable battery packs... very annoying.
Also mine keeps getting off and on all the time.
Strange - my screen turns off fine if it's plugged charging via USB. It's only wireless charging that has issues on mine.
The screen always wakes up when it starts or stops charging. Do you have the developer option turned on to leave the scree on when charging? If so, when it wakes up at the end of charging, it will never turn back off. If you don't have this option enabled, then I don't have a good reason.
Thank you thank you! I just enabled developer options (after accidentally finding Flappy Android) and the "keep screen on while charging" option was turned on by default. Doing a test charge now, but it appears as if the screen is staying off.
Awesome!
