Hey everyone,
I need your help figuring out why my Touch Pro 2 will not enter sleep mode on it's own. For some reason, the back light will dim, but the screen will stay on even though I have all my settings correct in the power management settings. Has anyone experienced this before? I think the fact my phone will not sleep automatically really impacts my battery life as I can barley make it from 7AM-5PM with barely using it much. It use to work fine, but now it doesn't. I've even done a format of the device twice, but still that doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Not sure what programs you have loaded but try cold boot, see if works. Then check as you add one program at a time.
There is also an option under settings/battery/advanced to force the device to sleep after a period of time.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.
I'm not sure when it started as I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep manually before I holster it.
If I lock the phone, the screen will dim, and at intervals, get bright again on its own. If I leave it at the TF Home Screen, it will stay bright and never dim.
I just can't bring myself to hard reset this phone right now . . lol. Maybe when I have more time. For now, I'll keep manually putting the phone to sleep .. . . sort of a muscle memory thing anyway. I wouldn't mind fixing it though, either.
Nope, never solved this problem. Sorry, I think you're on your own on this one.
I have also been experiencing this problem. I just got my Verizon Touch Pro 2 about two weeks ago. I have only added a handful of apps (WinMo MarketPlace, NetFlix Mobile manager, AP Mobile News, WeatherBug, and Shazam. I am pretty sure it was doing this before Shazam.) I think the phone was doing this even before I installed anything on it, but not certain. This is what I noticed;(I had T-Mobile's version and it did not have this issue.) I was amazed that my new Verizon Touch Pro2 was draining its battery life much more quickly than my TMobile version. Then I figured it out; when ever I get any notice on my phone (missed call, text message, phone notification)the screen lights up. This is normal. However, what is not normal is that the screen stays on until I manually acknowledge the notification or I manually hit the sleep button. I have the power management settings to turn off the backlight if not used for 30 sec and to put the phone to sleep after 1 minute. I tested it a few times to see if it would eventually turn off, 1 minute, 3 minute, up to 15 minutes and it still stayed on. . .
htc touch pro 2 won't enter sleep mode
It's the weather program that keeps it awake ...Slider Bar -> Settings -> Data Download Weather -> Uncheck download weather automatically

"It's the weather program that keeps it awake ...Slider Bar -> Settings -> Data Download Weather -> Uncheck download weather automatically"......
Agreed it is the weather program.
Specifically I turned off my location data collection..... Settings > Location > Improve Location Service (Slide to off). This worked! However out of interest I switched it back on and my backlight still sleeps OK, I just hope this problem doesn't keep randomly popping up.
I'm experiencing the same issue, suddenly...
But when I re-enable the Location option, it won't go into sleep...
Any ideas how to fix this?
bloddy idiots. HTC adds fancy animated auto-downloading weather at GPS location and break the ability to turn the phone on or answer calls! Quietly BRILLIANT!!!!!! idiots.
I think the interval is set to low and is killing my battery, also how can I set it so when I turn the screen off it turns the wifi off faster
-You can't make it faster. but some wifi app can scan every 1-3-5 sec or more just use them if you find the default scan time is too low.
-Just shut it down when you don't need it. Way better then waiting for the sleep policy to kick in.
After struggling to get AGPS Lock Patch to work on iKream 605.19, I was finally able to get running with the following steps:
1 - download AGPS lock, Google Specific-No SSL 3.1 build (the very first choice)
2 - extracted gps.conf from the .zip file, and copy/paste into system/etc/ with Root Explorer (you can do this also with ES File Explorer) *flashing this did not work at all for me*
2 - changed the value of ro.ril.def.agps.mode to 1 in /system/build.prop (see Note 13)
3 - restart into Recovery, wiped Dalvik Cache in CWM Recovery
4 - Downloaded GPS Status and Tools from Market
5 - Disabled screen timeout, and let GPS Status run for about 10-15 minutes next to a window
After spending the weekend testing this out, I found that GPS took about 5-10 seconds to lock (originally it took 1-3 seconds to lock). However, when driving/walking GPS lock didn't drop as much as before, which is why I wanted to use this. Slightly more accurate, but the fact that I wasn't losing my GPS location so frequently made it worth it.
Also, I didn't turn on Verizon Location, supposedly to save battery life. I will turn on Verizon Location this week to see if it gets any better.
Hi, i tried to reduce my screen on time from 30 sec. down to 15. sec. but if i tap on this feature in my setup, nothing changes!!!
I can only change the value with an external app. FW is b197. Any suggestions?
edit: solved
save energy mode seems to change access.
after switching to off, the time could be set.
Same goes with certain apps that change screen on time (Floatify is an example, free version sets screen on time to 15 seconds and it can't be changed)
I have following issues in my op6-
1. Excessive Battery Drainage, after full charge it's only last for 3 hours without using any heavy app or gaming, just normal browsing. Phone heated also.
2. Phone Too much hang now and then. For example if I open gallery, it's showing nothing content. Then takes atleast 1 min to load.
3. Camera app instantly not usable ,it's gets hanged first after opening then become usable(30 sec lag). After click photo if I go to check the photo, instantly it shows no photo at all, then after several tries it shows photo. I think everything hang, I don't know where 8GB ram used.
4. I have few apps which are not usable via wifi. In settings wifi usability not disabled. Still can't use wifi
I have tried after cleaning phone cache, it did not solve.
That's probably something like crippled oneplus'es update to force you to buy a new phone. Or you can easily backup your data, perform a factory reset and set up the phone which should help you.
