I have the video out cable for my Dinc and It works very well, but I can't figure out a way to disable the main phone screen while I am using the TV out cable. I use it quite a bit on flights as I have some MyVu video glasses that let me watch movies on them. The issue is that the battery is being depleted very quickly due to havign the main screen on even though I am not watching it.
Is there an app or setting that will toggle the main screen on or off, or let the screen sleep without stopping the video playback like when you hit the top sleep button as long as the video out cable is plugged in?

Hi, I've tried to found some info about this and then decided to post...
Anyone found ways to:
1) Set the vsync to the tv when tv out enabled.
Really the tv out feature is useless without that... can't watch any video without watching out of sync lines :'(
2) Set the screen off, or brightness to 0 when the tvout is enabled, at least when watching a video, or the screen was inactive for a while.
The 1 is the most important... it's nice to have tv out, but without vsync and using PAL and NTSC photos look better on the sgs screen, and videos/games has those out of sync glitches that I can't stand.
Nothing?
I have noticed that compare to the on computer content such as youtube. especially like androidauthority youtube video. I noticed that on YouTube their bottom right conner icon has more blank space. However when I cast from youtube to my TV. I noticed that the video is a bit cut off, not a big deal, but just a bit cut off. Anyone see this too? My TV is an Old Philips 32 inches from at least 4 years back, but surprise has HDMI-CEC
It's overscan, try to turn that setting off it has it.
This might be to specific or weird, but is there any way to keep Google Play Music in full screen on my TV when I cast it? At the start of a song it goes full screen mode, but after a few seconds it changes to a smaller pic of the album art that keeps moving around the screen. It moves like the screen saver of an early 2000s DVD player and it enrages me.
I want full screen. Please help.
Drives me batty too but I believe it's to prevent screen burn in

yeah, certainly is to avoid screen burn.
What I did is connect the CCast in my 5.1 receiver and then just leave the TV turned off while casting Google Music
So the touchscreen on my phone was acting up and I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. When I was at the gym listening to music, I guess my screen turned on in my pocket and my music paused coming in contact with me since the phone was facing my skin. The same thing happened if I left a youtube video on. With youtube videos it would pause, move the time bar or switch songs. When I try listening to voicemails the phone would randomly go to standby, possibly by the double tap triggering. All this happens without me touching the screen directly in anyway. Was this something with the software or something else?
Mine has done this when my leg was sweaty, it triggered the leg skin touches through the fabric.
My screen won't turn on even if i press the button on the back sometimes but if i hold it towards any source of light it will work fine.but if I'm in a dark place it will not turn on.any ideas what could cause this?

It may be that your screen is turning on, but the auto-brightness is adjusting the screen to full darkness mode because of detecting the dark place. You can try manually disabling auto bright?
I have a problem with static noise and suspect it is the LCD.
To test this theory, i need an app that will turn off the screen but not put the unit in standby.
Seems all the apps i tested so far, put the unit to sleep i.e. music stops playing in background when screen is off.
I need to switch screen off and not just blacken to test theory.
Any ideas for an app, or script that can do this please?
