Is there a app to keep the backlight on while charging?
Not that I know of. I use widgetsdroid and have a screen on widget. I just hit that when I don't want the xoom to sleep.

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.
slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!
Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.
Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.
Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!
Where did the wifi settings go to be able to turn on wifi upon awake rather than always on? Thanks.
Settings > Wi-Fi > 3-square button at top right of screen > advanced > keep Wi-Fi on during sleep
Select "never" to make it turn off during sleep.

Thanks! This is why xda forums are the best!
I'm not sure if it's just my phone or if everyone's does this. Say, I get an email and I click through the email link to a website, regardless if I choose native browser or Firefox, the screen dims when showing the browser. Anyone have any clue how to stop this? It's very maddening when the browser dims and immediately goes back to full brightness when I go back one stop to the mail application.
i have it set on full brightness, this ONLY happens when I open the browser.
Do you have power saving on? If so there is a setting there called background color. If this is checked that's your problem. Settings > power saving > background color (uncheck it)

Thank you for a quick reply. I went to the settings > power saving > background color, I don't have power savings turned on, but the options were all checked any way. I turned it on, and unchecked all the options and the power savings section turned off again because I imagine I disabled all the options.
Tested it by clicking a link to a website and choosing default browser, and it still dimmed the screen halfway it seemed. The screen does NOT dim if I select to use Firefox however.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Any other suggestions would be most appreciated.
In the browser go to menu -> brightness and colors -> uncheck automatic brightness. The browser has its own power saving settings so you have to choose this option from within the browser. This aggravated the heck out of me until I found it too.

That was it. How come the browser has it's own power and brightness settings? Very weird. Almost a hidden setting if you ask me.
Thank you again.
Didn't realize the default browser has that either but I use chrome!

Guess that explains why I wasn't seeing this behavior, since I use Opera - it autowraps text when zooming, unlike the stock one on the GS3 (loss of highly useful function, anyone?).

To auto wrap in stock browser just go to settings -> advanced -> and check auto-fit pages... not hard

The stock browser word wraps just fine for me.
The notification bar only shows notifications and no settings that I can see. Am I missing something or the only way to do it is to create widget or shortcut ?
Pull up slowly from the bottom of the screen. This is called "control center" it's super annoying to me honestly.

Yup that's it, I completely missed "more" on the bottom of the screen. Thank you. Other than few UI quirks I am liking the phone far.
Also the touch sensor works for me even with screen on, so they must have fixed that bug.

It's possible you might need to disable Magazine screen lock, different settings seem to disappear depending on having others enabled or disabled

On the p30 pro, there are in the menu That you say. On the p30, no
May be custom theme (lock screen style).
Custom lock screen style causes this
Thank you I confirm that was the magazine lock screen and the lock screen personalization.
Solved!
Wish there was an option to only wake up screen for only certain type of notifications.
I could achieve this if I disable notifications completely for those that I don't want screen to wake up for but then I'd lose notifications for those that didn't wake up screen. If you catch my drift.
