Verizon Touch Pro 2 - Will Not Enter Sleep Mode!

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.

@ Aspesi4
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

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"......
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.

WIFI will not shut off during sleep since JB update

I have only noticed this issue since the OTA update to Jelly Bean, so am guessing it must be tied to that. In a nutshell, WIFI will not turn off when my Infinity goes to sleep (whether I push the button to manually put it to sleep or if it times out and goes on its own). I've tried setting the Wi-Fi>Advanced>Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep setting to "Only when plugged in" and "Never", but neither work. In fact, when I go back to check those settings after waking the unit back up the setting is always set back to "Always" even when I change it. I've toggled the sleep option in the Developer Options to make sure it is allowing the unit to sleep, and I've also disabled the Network notification function, and even set the Disconnect network during sleep option in the ASUS customized settings. None of these things are working, and no matter what I do the Infinity is now keeping WIFI going when asleep, which is really eating up my battery life. I also had issues with the unit auto-rebooting after the JB update, so last night I went ahead and did a factory reset, hoping it might take care of both issues. That seems to have fixed the auto-rebooting issue, but I'm still having this annoying issue with the WIFI. I use Juice Defender on my Galaxy Note to manage WIFI, so I figured I'd give that a shot on here, but it doesn't appear able to turn WIFI off either when the unit goes to sleep.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of issue? Any thoughts?
The unit is rooted, but not unlocked, so running the stock JB ROM.

I had the same exact problem on my Prime, luckily its not present on my Infinity.
Anyway what I used to combat this issue is this app:
Auto Airplane Mode

Thanks, I may check it out. I hate to have to use a workaround, but also hate having the battery drain while it's sleeping (and don't want to have to manually power off or turn off wifi, etc).

Wifi shuts down during sleep (it is set not to)

The wifi icon disappears after few minutes of screen being off after locking. I did set wifi to be on during sleep. Does anyone else have that issue ? I have a SIP client installed on my phone and need wifi all the time so that is a pain.

Mine does the same thing. I think it might be because I have the *intelligent power saving* checked in "power management" in settings. I think the phone disables data every so often to preserve the battery. Haven't tested my theory by un-checking, but I remember this happening on my Blu studio energy.

I have intelligent power disabled.

I think I am getting this on my phone. Sometimes on wakeup it forgets it is connected to Wifi and apps and chrome won't update. I usually just turn airplane mode on/off to fix it. Still, it is annoying. Doesn't seem to happen with LTE, at least.

Problem with the Wi-Fi on my Nokia 3

I have a Nokia 3 phone running Android 8.0
Ever since I got it about 5 months ago I changed the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' setting to 'Only when plugged in' because it saves battery. It worked so far, the Wi-Fi would turn off when not using my phone and it would turn back on instantly again after pressing the power button.
But a few days ago when the Wi-Fi turned off and I pressed the power button to unlock my phone it wasn't turning on again anymore. This is when other weird things start to happen on the phone with the Wi-Fi off, for example when going to the Wi-Fi settings it would freeze for a few minutes, when I go to the battery usage settings and the storage settings pages it just shows a spinning circle and they don't show up. Also when I try to restart the phone when it's in this state it takes about 10 minutes to restart it.
The only way to turn the Wi-Fi back on is to go to the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' setting, which would then freeze for a few minutes and then change it to 'Always'. When the Wi-Fi connects again the battery usage and storage settings pages work again.
I didn't install any new apps or change anything right before this started happening. I also tried doing a factory reset but I still have the same issue. Can anyone please help me with this?

This is unusual issue to me.
When you updated to 8.0? It's maybe 8.0 issue, i didn't liked how Oreo performs so i rolled back to Android 7.1.1 Nougat December Security Patch, in my opinion most stable Nokia stock ROM currently.
Maybe go to Android 7.1.1, but my advice is to wait for next update, Nokia may fix problem.

I updated to 8.0 when the first beta came out in February and it worked fine ever since then, until last week.

Vivo nex powering off itself when not in use

Hi
Pretty sure the AI is powering off my phone when it sits in idle for more than 3hrs... ...which is super odd..
Only happens in the evenings though... super strange...anyone else having an issue like this? If i turn on Airplane mode it does not happen

The only time I can go without using my phone for three hours is during sleep time. When I wake up the next morning my phone is still on. How's the battery life when you turn it back on?

Seems like you have scheduled/off feature turned on. Go to Settings> More Settings > Task Timer> Scheduled On/Off and check if you have anything active there.
