Even though the settings are set for no dimming on external power, it still seems to do it.
Any other settings to check?
Thanks
Are you running a profile management program?
Something like phoneAlarm, where you can set screen brightness for mains on and mains off for each profile might do something like that if set up that way.

Both with the default ATT ROM as well as with the TILT AKU.0.7.0 ROM my phone will not turn the screen off when docked.
I have the backlight and power settings adjusted to allow the phone to turn off the screen after 1 minute and turn off after 5 minutes.
When docked, instead of going dark and powering off per my settings, the screen drops to about a 20-30% brightness level and the phone never turns off.
I supsect some app may be keeping the phone awake, but disabling my plugins did not make a difference.
Anyone else experience this behavior?
I have an unlocked TyTN II, with stock HTC ROM, and thats how it's always been out of the box.
Maybe I'm just used to how my old Hermes behaved.
I noticed this too. Now if someone knew how this could be deactivated so the screen was completely off, that would be nice.

The Kaiser's screen, unlike Hermes, is not transreflective and if the backlight is off, the display is completely blank. HTC elected to have the display stay ON at a minimal brightness when the timer runs out.
At first I wasn't happy but at night, navigating, I like the fact that it auto-dims while attached to a charge cord.
Perhaps is supposed to be this way, but I have noticed that my backlight won't turn off when plugged in - even though set to turn off after 2 minutes when plugged in. Instead of turning off, it seems to revert to a dim mode - but the light still remains on. I have to manually turn it off. Any thoughts?
That's what it does. Unless the phone is off, the display can't be turned completely off. This is because the screen is not transreflective.
I understand that, but the trouble is that the backlight remains on. Surely that's not supposed to happen, right?
no, thats not normal behaviour.
do you have anything running in the background? its sometimes a good idea to go into the settings and untick the boxes, soft reset the device, then put the settings back the way you want them. This has worked for me in the past.
Are you talking when the device is plugged into the USB port w/ ActiveSync running? If so that is how it works - device will stay on.
If you are talking about plugged into AC then it should power off after x amount of minutes.
To be clear, if the phone is ON, the backlight will always be ON. This is different from the previous Hermes/8525 that had a transreflective screen which could be seen in bright light with the backlight off.
The Kaiser/Tilt's don't have transreflective displays so they changed the backlight control to dim instead of OFF. When the display brightness slider is put to minimum or the display timer expires the display just dims.
Pressing the power button and going to standby is the only way to turn off the display that I'm aware of.
Now, Auto Power off after a timer expire is different. If you set the power settings to turn off after 2 minutes while on A/C, the Kaiser will turn off, IF it's not connected to Active Sync, and IF there isn't some other application keeping the phone alive (Apps like iNav keep the phone alive).
Im running Froyo, rooted Amon-RA 1.7. I use the Power Manager app set with profiles. USB and AC adapters brightness is set high when plugged in and battery is set low for obvious reasons. Now when I plug in the brightness goes up and it displays i.e. AC adapter profile or whatever... when I unplug, it displays "battery profile set" but the brightness is all the way up still. I have to manually press the power strip brightness button until it is off, then open power manager app and select battery mode and then it works fine. From my knowledge the app has not been updated but it is working in every other department.
This is the only bug I have noticed for me. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this.
Is anyone using a DayDream alternative that both works with Lollipop and makes use of the AMOLED panel. I love DayDream. I've missed being able to see the time at night at my bed side (My Nexus 5 has LCD and lights up the room).
The problem with DayDream is though, you set it to work when on charge, but if you use a wireless charger, the phone goes off charge part way through the night and DayDream Stops. Day dream only kicks in again if the screen is on, so I lose the time.
I suppose I could set with Tasker to turn the screen on when it starts charging again, but this isn't a good solution really.
what is anyone else using?
Edit: This seems to work ok:

BUT, screen times out and I dont really want to enable screen ion whilst charging.
I have used Tasker on Power (Wireless) to:
code: svc power stayon true
app: daydream
and
06:45am : svc power stayon false
Not exactly an elegant solution.
I use the Huawei power saving mode on my phone all the time, but I have to remember to disable it every now and again to allow account sync or remember to manually sync my accounts as power saver doesn't turn off when a charger is plugged in.
Is there any way to automate it so that when unplugged power saver is active but when charging it is disabled?
I'm thinking Tasker or something similar. Does anyone have any ideas on how to set this up?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyone?
I've managed to set up Tasker so it will enable/disable the native Android Oreo power saver mode on plug/unplug but this doesn't change the Huawei power saver that runs via phone manager (I think)
Also, enabling the native Android power saver turns the statusbar that ugly orange colour, so that was turned off immediately haha
