Droid Mini Screen won't timeout when charging - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having this problem? When the phone is charging if you use it the screen won't time out you have to push the power button to shut off the screen. When unplugged works just fine. I did reboot into safe mode and still same problem so this isn't a 3rd party app issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Unless this is "working as intended" lol

Ok nevermind, it was as stupid as developer options --> Stay away while charging being a default option. Dumb.

Help- on/off power button malfunction.

Orbit2 - the on/off button at the top is non responsive . It means when my backlight turns off I have to reset the device to use it again. I have disabled the backlight timeout for now,but it is an extra drain on the battery and im worried if the device turns off I will not be able to turn it on again. Any solutions ?
Is this an problem anymore?
Got the same now, an opened the device.
The button is mountet at 4 points, at mine 2 are brocken => no contact, no function...
After being quoted 100quid to fix it, I changed the settings so any button will take the device out of sleep mode. It is not fixed but this way works ok .

I have the same problem but can't find the setting that will allow me to un-sleep my phone with any button.
I use rom: 3LIT3_VIII_Full NLD
I think that these setting has been disabled in the rom.
Is there a register setting?
thanks
I do not know anything about roms.
You can turn off sleep mode in the battery saver I think. But means your battery gets used more quickly . The other way I tried was in the settings where any button will turn off sleep mode. This way was better.
Same problem! Although me being the idiot that I am have just dropped the battery and have no way of turning it back on. Any ideas?? Anyone?
Just plug your charger in press the camera and reset then you should get the spl screen then press the reset to boot into windows.This will only work if you are getting power ie from your charger or usb.

Is your phone led lighting up when plugged in ? If not could be usb not working,if it is could be your camera button knackered to so can't get to the spl screen.
Then plug your phone in then do a hard reset except dont press the send button then you should boot into windows without loosing any data.

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....

Won't turn back on\come out of standby?

I had my tablet sitting on the desk overnight and went to use it, pressed the button to wake it up, and nothing happened...?
I plugged it into the charger and it makes the charging noise but it doesn't do anything else, nothing on the screen, nothing.
EDIT: I found the reset button it, and that fixed it. Any ideas what would cause this?

[!] SGS3 Screen off, boots up, no recov

The TL;DR is - Running ROM fine. Phone boots up but screen does not turn on. Does not seem to boot into recovery/download mode. adb is attached aka works.
Phone was sitting on desk, untouched and not charging. Now the phone screen does not come on, but hardware keys light up and notifications come on. I then charged the phone for several hours. Hard reset with a battery pull, let it sit for 10 mins, try to reboot. The phone vibrates once, and 30 seconds later notifications come in, hardware lights come on, and led blinks. So the phone is booting fully, but no screen on.
If I try either of the recovery or download combinations, the same normal boot up happens. So I cannot seem to get into recov/download normally. Odin does not recognize the phone. Windows OS recognizes the internal and external storage as normal. "adb devices" returns nothing.
Is there anything you think may solve my screen-off predicament? .... Worst case its a hardware problem Other than that, I am friggin stuck here. Your assistance and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Had a similar issue when a flashing went bad. My charger was plugged in and for some reason it just kept looping like you mentioned. No combination worked.
I disconnected charger and pulled battery. Waited a few seconds and did the recovery combination. That did the trick. Hope it helps

I am open to suggestions. Plan on opening and operating, as I suspect it's a hardware issue. Worst case, any have experience with replacements?
(Oye, now I'm reviving the OG Droid Incredible ...)
Take it into a pitch black room and look closely, does the backlight try to turn on? I had a very similar problem where my backlight just died, I could see the faint outline of my home screen (like my brightness was on -50% lol) and everything worked but the screen. Ended up being a hardware problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot see even the faintest of light, just pitch black screen.
It's peculiar though --- the hardware buttons are not vibrating. As if it's not recognizing any input other than the Power Button. And thus, maybe why its not recognizing the volume rocker to get into recovery.
Bump: adb now works and recognizes my device. Open to suggestions!!!
edit: Tried adb reboot recovery ... phone turned off, vibrated, then received no input whatsoever -- however still made the connection noise when plugging into USB. Only solution was a hard reset.

anyway to stop wake on charge?

everytime i attempt to charge the phone the screen wakes up, is there a option to turn this off at all?
gets annoying after a while.
In Developer Options turn this command off. Stay Awake.
I think he means that when he bugs the phone in or puts it on a wireless charger the lock screen lights up.
I'd be interested if there was an answer as well.

yeah when i plug the charger in the screen turns on and i have to press the side button to turn off the screen again, gets irritating after a while especially when you have a app open.
i'll try that dev option and see if that changes anything.

Can't it simply do what previous Samsung phones did before? You plug in the charger it makes a sound that it's charging and that's it? What purpose would benefit anyone by waking the screen when the phone has started charging anyway? All it does is irritate the user as they have to keep pressing the side button each time the phone is left to charge.
It seems the only way to disable this is yet again root and there doesn't seem to be any other way, not even a app at least..
???
Waking the screen while charging each time is dam meaningless.
The screen should time out and turn back off or am I missing something?
No, you are not missing anything. I agree, there is no reason for the screen to come on upon starting to charge as you have an led that tells you that. It is just ANNOYING!
Yes this is annoying and I am still looking for a way to disable it. Not only does the screen turn on when I place my S8 in the cradle, when the screen timeout kicks in, the screen wakes again when the wireless charging does its animation of how much percentage is left.
Try "All My..." it contains no wake on charge. If you use wireless charging then I would reconomend using a charger limiter like "Battery Charge Limit [ROOT]" to minimize heat.
