AOD keeps reenabling itself. I have turned it off and changed it to show on tap a half dozen times or more today and it keeps turning itself back on automatically. Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? It will do this without me changing any other settings. I change it to tap or off and later it will be back to on.

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
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.
I use my tablet as an alarm clock and it has always worked perfectly. After the last system update, though, I find that I can't get the sreen to stay on. I have the screen timeout set to 5 minutes, and I cannot override that. I went in to developer settings and set it so the screen stays on when it is plugged in, but that does not work. I tried using the system clock app and using night mode but that also shuts off after 5 minutes, even when plugged in. I tried turning on the screen saver to the clcok setting when it is plugged in but that still does not keep the screen on past 5 minutes.
Anyone have any other ideas for something I could try?
There are a bunch of apps and widgets that make it easy to switch between "normal screen off with delay" or "screen always on". Have you tried one of these ? Since your setting is blocked as you say, I'm not sure if the apps can override it, but you can try.
for instance No screen off (widget)
or Keep screen on (a background app that checks the device's inclination)

I use app Backlight Switch. It has options to show in notifications and has a widget. You can also create an app list that auto-toggles it.
Just posted this in another old thread, but thought it's worth highlighting. Noticed today that my screen would come on by itself a second or so after I put the phone down, or if I was holding it and swinging my arm as I walked. After lots of searching discovered a setting was causing it. Settings > Display > Keep Screen Turned Off was turned on. Turned it off and problem solved. No more random screen turning on. There can be other causes, but this one didn't show up in any of my Google searches, so just paying a tip forward. Cheers.

My S7 Edge started doing this about a week ago, but the setting you noted was off... so I turned it on. Maybe it's something in the last update that makes it wonky. I'll let you know if it works.

That setting being off is the default I believe. My phone didn't start turning on until after I had turned that setting on, I just didn't notice the connection since I'd changed several options, and didn't see the spontaneous turn on until the next day. There can be other causes, so may not be your issue. But keep us posted.
I have set it to "always" but it always goes off. I have even tested it out with the "only when plugged in" option but it still triggers off.
I have been true every single app to ensure nothing else is triggering it off but everything looks fine.
Anyone else have this issue. It started with the Noughat update.
Thanks
I noticed same issue
The issue was reduced by Reset of network settings. Option can be found in Back and Restore-> Second Last
From what I can tell I have it disabled, but every day when I wake up my display is on the lock screen (dim) with the notifications that arrived while I was sleeping.
Is the only way to stop this from happening right now basically to completely disable previews (including on double tap/pick up)?
Edit: It's only happening when plugged in.
Haven't seem this at all. Make sure you have always on display and anything like "lift to check" turned off
