Guys I have set Screen timeout to 30 Seconds now. After 30 seconds the display turns off without Dimming. Its very Annoying. How to fix it?? Also this Happens when changed to different time in screen timeout. Now I am using 4.4.4 KK

I have screen time out of 1 minute and display dims at 55 sec n turns off at 1 min.
I dont even notice the dimming.

Imagine you are reading a interesting article on a Website.. Suddenly the screen turns off without any sign(or dimming). I have to press power button to turn it on. If it dims I'll know that it's going to turn on and I'll touch the screen to extend the timer.

well in that case u can increase the time out.
there is a conf file which controls the dimming level of the screen but dont remember the path as I am also new to XZR.
I remember for my previous XSP but in XZR its not available at that location

That's the fix I'm using for now. But I want a permanent solution. Isn't that dimming defaultly present in Sony stock rom?

Hi all,
i have the Kaiser for a week, and was thinking the batterry autonomy isn't especially amazing..
Then doing some research, i've found out that that despite the backlight setting set to be turned off after 30 sec, it was NOT turned off.
Switching setting to 1 min doesn't help either.
Setting it to 10 sec DOES work, the backlight turns off after 10 secs, BUT turns back ON after various seconds (sometimes +/- 11 secs, sometimes after 21 seconds...), then 10 secs later again off, etc etc... (cycle forever).
I did removed from the today screen both SPB Mobile shell and HTC Home (today screen = blank). But the problem is still there...
so the questions :
1) Does anybody experience that (it took me a full week of use to note this... can you try it on your Kaiser ?)
2) Any idea/solution to fix this ?
Best Regards,
Mike.
Just letting you know, that mine works as it should.
I dont have that bug .... but another bug:
After soft-reset, the battery backlight will be set to 10 seconds.
No clue yet why that happen.
When having issues like that try a hard reset and do not use a back up just set everything back up by hand. I found that most apps still are not ready for WM6 just yet since it really is a new OS even though we have had it for what seems like a very long time now.

When you set the back light to turn off, it doesn't actually turn off, instead it drops to minimum brightness. If you are in darkish room and so have the backlight set to minimum anyway, it looks like it isn't going off.
This is by design for Windows Mobile 6 devices, the Toshiba G900 was exactly the same. I can only guess it is because the screens are not trans-reflective, so they dim to the lowest level so you can still make out what is on the display and can tell it is still on, rather than in standby. This makes the behaviour seem similar to those moving from trans-reflective displays as while the backlight could go out completely, you could still make out what was on the display.

Hey, is there ne way to change the screen dim time ? any app or ne way of prolonging it ? thnx (Im talkin about the screen diming, not turning off)
(Solved)...The screen dims approximately 5 seconds before ur screen timeout...so if ur screen timeout is 15 seconds then in preparation for tht it dims the screen at 10s after which it shuts of at 15. Thanx everyone.
Are you just wanting to change the brightness manually or by the time of day?

Ok so every phone ive had i turn off the auto brightness and crack it all the way up.
Then when im using the phone and i haven't touched anything the screen will go from 100% brightness to 50% and then a few seconds later (if i don't touch the screen) the screen turns off.
Well ive noticed this only happens sometimes. (uselly when im at work it works) But 90% of the time, ill be using the phone then after some inactivity the screen dims from 100% to like 98% if your not looking for it you wouldn't even notice. Then a few seconds later turns all the way off.
I have smart stare or w/e it is turned off.

Noticed the same problem here. With auto brightness on dimming works correctly, but I never find auto brightness does what I want, so I usually don't use it. Very annoying problem! Hopefully Samsung fixes this issue soon!
I'm facing the same issue. My phone goes to screen off mode without dimming, which is very annoying. Otherwise, the phone is pretty good.

This has always been confusing and I am looking for clarification on the Lock Screen/ Screen dimming, etc.
So I went into the display settings and set it not to turn off for 1 minute. Then I checked the power saving settings just to be sure the screen would not go dim or lock after 5 seconds. That did not work. Then I checked the security settings to see if something was over ridding every other time out setting and I am lost. Either these settings have never really worked since the original note and android/ google is lazy or I am not doing something right.
Dose anyone have a step by step walk through of all the settings that would affect when the screen dimms and when it locks? (Sometimes I am running music through blue tooth and I don't want to the screen to dim for specific applications also. There has to be a setting somewhere because Google Maps does not allow the screen to dim or lock when in nav mode.

I really wish someone would have answered your question. Mainly since I have the same freaking problem.
When the phone app is running, I am constantly getting dimmed, seconds only to do something.
Tonight I was using an app that monitors BBQ temperatures. Always dims to fast. Set the screen timeout for 10 minutes. Still dimmed after 30 seconds or so.
How does this work? I'm not sure the screen timeout setting does anything.
The screen diming feature is part of the auto brightness function and works by using the ambiant light sensor to adjust the brightness of the display. According to the amount of light detected in front of the display.
Screen locking happens when you haven't used your device for a specific amount of time.

It dims before it locks. That's what I was referring to. I think the OP was as well.
I set the display for 10 minute timeout. It dims and locks the screen in less than a minute. I can't figure out how to stop it.
Is that a clearer question?
Well my screen dims for some seconds before going out, but, always as per the time I set , for instance, if I set to go out after 5 mins of inactivity, it dims after 4 mins 55 seconds, then goes out, I dont use autobrightness, and I use entertainment mode
It was secure lock time setting.
It was disregarding the screen timeout.
My screen timeout is at ten minutes but the screen dims and turns off after 10 seconds and it's incredibly bothersome when trying to read an ebook for example. Have you encountered this? Any suggestions?
Edit: not a Always on display problem
Place AOD on schedule? So, not always on

It still dims after 10 seconds with the always on display off. Do you know of any setting that could change this in thynote9?
Are you using some power saving mode?
Doesn't AOD dim after a while after awhile so as not make the pixels burn unevenly long term? Just use a clock if you want it to be on long.

The problem is the screen dimming after ten seconds not the AOD display. I turned off the AOD display and it still dims too fast.

No,
Does this setting possible have anything to do with it. It used to be default 5 seconds for most phones. Is this possibly interfering with the dimming?

GO to Settings, advanced features and select 'Smart Stay' to on position.
Your screen will time out to whatever you've set it in display settings, but smart stay will stop that happening if it know you're watching something

That is better than before but still not what I want. I basically want the phone screen to be on until I turn it off or the amount of time I put on the screen timeout elapses. Is this just impossible on this expensive device?
Hi,
I'm afraid the max is 10min in screen settings.
The only other way is in developer options, then 'stay awake always' but this only allows this during charging(plugged in)
To enable dev option, you need to go to settings/about phone/software information, then tap build number around 7-8 times

This app is incredibly useful though I am worried about the battery usage. I'm going to use this. Thanks a lot!
