Sorry tried a couple of different methods this does works. mods please delete
I tried doing this and the setting doesn't seem to work on my Captivate. When I select "GSM Only," the setting stays put after I hit "home," but the display doesn't change from 3G. Do I need to kill the data connection or go into and out of flight mode for it to change?

have read that if it doesnt stick then you may need to hit refresh and then update on the *#*#4636#*#* screen. be cautions with this though as i have also read that doing this disables texting on some phones though it worked fine for mine, also go back to the screen and make sure your selection stuck. and dont hit the back button any where on that screen because it causes you to revert to what ever you previously had selected.

It wastes lots of battery. I think i might have damaged the light sensor but i've tried turning it off but it doesnt change anything.
Anybody know?
Even if the light sensor is damaged, your backlight will go off after your device idles for some. Check your settings
thanks for the prompt reply.
ive checked all my power managment settings and they're all on the lowest time settings..
i dont understand why it would do this.
Are you using any softwares that manages the backlight timeout? Such as Tweak2k2, etc
it seems to be working fine now after i restarted my phone.
i wasnt using any software.
thanks for your help.

my phone did this before. but yea just a simple reset fixed it
Maybe you installed maniac's AutoKeyLock, I had the same behavior a couple of time...
It seems like after some time, it overrides by mistake the power mgt values.
Hi!
I have the same problem. Wm6 The back light turn to the dim mode and that"s all. It does switch off the screen. If I connect to the AC power It does the same. When I lock the keypad, every thing seems to be all right. It switches the screen off. Any idea. I restarted the phone, but nothing changed, i didn't install any Autokeylock program.
Hi, this problem exist occasionally after you install some apps (i.e. AutoKeylock). You can fix it easy - enter registry and open key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Power" then modify value in key "Display".
Thanks, it is working.
When my phone boots up it shows the logo then it shows at the top where its checking internal card whatever then the screen goes blank, it only comes up to view when i touch the top button, i think its booting to the standby mode it did it before gingerbread update and after ,i dont really mind cause all i need to do is press the top on button once to get my display up just it seems a bit strange to do this though evry time.

Yes, it aint there. Been looking for it also. I'll try to if someone has successfully changed it. Probably a setting in the build.prop.
If you read the post carefully you might figure it out by yourself!
Its a simple settings option that tells the screen to go blank its in settings/display/screen timeout on all stock roms.

Do you have any ideas on how to get the drop-down menu to work?

When my I535PP was working, I remember using this bypass. If you install apps that give Notifications and leave the phone on for a half a month or so strait and the bar should pop up. But if you hit the home button, or go to restart the phone your notification bar will go away, and send you back to the activation wizzard. I guess it's just the way it works. Use a home button alternative app. I mapped the hold down to settings and the tap to recently used apps, kinda like a task manager. Worked great until my wifi decided to stop working
Good luck, hope this helped!
Thank you! Your info is much appreciated! :cyclops:

No problem, and just so you know this is the specific app I was using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.home.button.bottom&hl=en
Enjoy!
PS: The app will also open while you're in the activation wizzard. Just let it sit there for a little bit when you first boot it up. If you have it set to open up settings you can hold it down and get into the settings without having to do the whole going to contacts and speech thing. Essentially skipping those steps. (Your phone might have to be rooted though)

Awesome! ?
Whenever I set a lockscreen on my g3, knock for example, it works ONCE then reverts back so slide. (I also had lock when power is hit on) This a major problem so I'd like to get some help on this.

do you use a custom launcher?
Anyway i was playing around with it and got the result as you...the Knock code was working as it would turn on the phone, but if i pushed the power button it would default to slide. only thing i did was check the settings and apparently the "power button locks" did not stick so I unticked and cleared lock screen. then did it again and it stuck. works like it should now...
however this made the phone make lock noises.... must fix that now lol
Nope im on stock everything and it does the same thing for every type of lock. I'm hoping its just a bug that I can fix in the next OTA.
I was having some problems with adaptative battery turning on by itself so i talk with the support and they give me a trick that actually fixed the problem. They said that it can fix also another problems so i will explain here, in the worst case is just a waste of time.
Turn the phone off and connect to the charger.
Enter recovery:
-Hold power + Vol Up until the phone turn on and then release power but not volume.
-You will see and ****ed up android. Hold power and press vol up for 3 seconds and release volume up.
With this you will be in the recovery. With the vol keys go to "Perform a Graphic Test" and press power to execute. It is kinda weird but it doesn't perform a graphic test, it just reinstall a update or something
So if you are experiencing some weird behavior you can try this and see if it solve it.
I've done it, but the Wifi issue comes back aber 1-2 days
or immediatelly if you perform some FlyMode ENABLE/DISABLE
I made a video of the mobile after the refrresh and after the issue comes back
Paired with 2 other smartphones
You can notice when the issue is "active" the mobile just see 1-3 WiFis SSID (normally they're 10 or more)
And it even reports a wrong signal strenght
Plus it fails to connect to the Paired Wifi several times (eventaully always)
Resetting the Android networking system doen not work
Usually a soft clean helps (reboot with VolUP + power and wait for AndroidONE screen to appear twice (I guess they're actually 2 consecuve reboots)
Lol Support sold you a lemon. The "graphics test" is literally just playing the animations the recovery should when installing an update. It's not doing a damn thing. I think the reboot just helped you out.
I had the wifi issue and it worked for me. Now wifi connects after enable / disable flymode without rebooting the device.
thanks

They didn't sold my a lemon because i did it and it actually solve the problem. Before i tried everything, including reset, hard reset, deleting all the battery system app cache and data, disabling them, enabling them again, nothing worked and adaptative battery kept turning itself on. I had the problem for months. I asked the guy how permorming a graphic test is related to some bug in adaptative battery and he said he doesn't know and Ingenineer team said that to him, it seems that it is not only a graphic test, maybe Nokia touch something there. The thing is it solved my problem, that is why i shared it here just in case.

I think you should wait just 1-2 days before saying it. I hope it really worked cause I have the same wifi issue.

This morning, after the night in flightmode, wifi doesn't connect without a reboot. But now, just the same as yesterday, i can switch flightmode on / off and wifi connects normally. So maybe it depends on the time the flightmode is enabled?

I dont know mate..I usually switch to airplane mode during the night when I go to sleep cause I dont want to loose battery during the night..we can try not to activate it but I hope we will have a fix in January.
I experienced this problem after installing the January Security Patch on my Nokia 7 Plus. My router is a Huawei and my network SSID is hidden. I tried a few things:
* Reset network settings
* Restarted in Safe Mode - added network and could connect (note, it's a hidden network so I selected that option in Advanced Settings)
* Rebooted into normal operation, would not connect
* Modified my router's settings so the network was no longer hiding its SSID.........phone connected!! Seems stable so far.
Can anyone confirm any similarities with the above and if the steps work for you?
I have two Nokia 7+ phones, one works fine on Wifi the other refused to connect.
I did the graphics test as above and it now connects without any issues.
I will wait and see how long this 'fix' lasts for.
Fingers crossed.
I tried to enter that special mode (recovery) but it just boots into the system! I have had many phones and got into their recoveries quite easily. However seems like I misunderstood the instructions here? Can someone explain me more in detail how to perform the graphic test?

adb reboot recovery
Or
When poweron/reboot hold PowerBtn+VolUp until you see "no command" with green Android logo
In both method is switch from "no command" to menu by pressing PowerBtn+VolUp

Eventually I did the "graphic test" which indeed performs just the animation as another user was saying, because WiFi issue has not improved.
What I was doing wrong when trying to access the recovery was simply not connecting the phone to a power source prior to pressing vol up and power.
Just picked a 7 plus a week back & loving the phone so far. Given it had 8.1 out of the box I went through the day 1 upgrades and had a few of these problems. Being a new phone, a factory reset post upgrade was no big deal (I keep everything backed up so it's rarely a big deal) and my wifi problems went away with it. I've found this with Android upgrades in the past. Hard for the Devs to treat every upgrade permutation given apps and time, but easy to test the clean slate, so more likely to be stable that way.
