Hey guys my xoom will just timeout when its not suppose to. On some movies the xoom will dim and then screen lock. It just happens randomly and i cant seem to prevent it. I even raised the timeout limit on the screen settings and it still happens. Running latest xoom update as well.

I'm wondering if this is because of my device (HTC Titan) or because of WM6... all I know is that I never had this happen before!
Basically, I'll pull out my phone sometimes and find that its turned on by itself, and has been sitting with the dim idle backlight on.
I noticed it can be caused by several things but the 2 main ones I've seen is:
1) when the phone switches to/from roaming, it wakes up
2) when using A2DP controls (AVRCP), it wakes up.
I've been using workarounds to keep the backlight off for now (set the phone to roam only, or carrier-only, so it won't be switching in/out of roam, and use core player or just remember to toggle the screen off everytime I use a media AVRCP control), but there has got to be a better way to keep the darned screen off until I press power!
Anyone have any suggestions? This is really an unexpected annoyance as it eats up my battery quickly not knowing its on...
I had a similar issue with whenever I received an email and didnt shut off the device manually. What I eventually ended up doing was setting the device to automagically lock when it was powered off, and this seemed to solve the issue. I'm not sure however if this will fix it in your case because locking it may interfere with AVRCP controls working.
I have my G tablet running with the TnTLite 2.0 (with the overlay) and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
While using Pandora, moments after the screen sleeps, the wi-fi connection seems to drop. In the advanced Wi-fi settings, I have the sleep setting set to never. I have the screen timeout set at 10 minutes.
Is it possible to have the screen off and keep applications running in the background (e.g., music playing)??

This is a known issue and so far I havent seen any of the ROMS that seem to stop it. There is also a hugh 'lag' after it's been asleep for a while, almost as if it takes a minute or so t 'wake up and get going'.
It almost seems to me that it is better to turn the thing off of your not gonna use it for a bit.
HOWEVER, the battery life on this thing in unbelievable so it would hurt to leave it on for a few hours if your listening to Pandora. Ive easily gotten 8 - 10 hours of use with movies and angry birds.
Food for thought.
Does anyone know how to prevent the Camera app from forcing 100% screen brightness? It really is blinding for me especially at night.
Thanks
I can't help if you are on stock software, but I figured I would throw down a tip for CM10, since thats what I run. There is an option to allow screen dimming. I believe by default, once a screen brightness increases on android the only way to lower it is by cycling the screen. The option in CM10 allows the OS to dim the screen w/o turning the screen off.
Hi guys, using my Nexus 5 I noticed the brightness was very inconsistent, even with auto brightness turned off the screen seems to dim occasionally and then go back to full brightness during use.
Have you noticed it too, and is there any way to stop it from happening? I would really like to be able to enjoy the beautiful screen at full brightness without it going dim randomly, thanks.

Yes I noticed it too, but don't know if it is a software bug or a feature to prevent from overheating (like Samsung devices do) or a hardware problem. It is quite annoying!
Hi folks, I recently ran into a couple of problems with my new Style. At home I have aeroplane mode on, location off, even the sim card removed, yet phone idle is still using battery. Not a great chunk, maybe 3-4%, but it shouldn't be doing that right?! Mobile data etc is all off.
The second issue is that when casting to my Samsung TV the picture is totally off, it's as if the refresh rate isn't right and there's screen tearing all over. Even on a static image there's movement as the pixels update. The TV info tells me that the phone is casting at 720p 30hz. I would normally just use MHL/Slimport instead but this phone doesn't support it.
I've not run into either of these problems with my Nexus 5 or 10 and I've Googled til my thumbs ache, but I can't find a solution or even mention of these specific problems. Can any of you fine folks here help me out?
