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.

Under the power options, I have the 'turn off device if not used for' options selected for both 'on battery power' and 'on external power'. I also have the backlight options to turn off the backlight if not used.
My question is: when connected via Activesync, should the device turn off (as per the settings above). It seems to activate the backlight feature, but not turn off (as per the setting).
Am I understanding this functionality wrongly? thanks.
Hi
My understanding is that when you connect to activesync then that is the same as external power. So, the external power settings apply to activesync (via USB).

Thanks Dave - in that case my power settings do not seem to be working correctly - ie: it does not turn off after 1 minute when connected via USB, however does operate correctly when not connected.
any ideas? thanks.
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).
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.
Wondering if there's a way to have the Power Saver turn on when the charger is unplugged.
That might be something "Tasker" or a related app can do.
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
