Go to > Settings/Display/Sleep (then choose how long you want the display to remain on before it times out and sleeps).

I'm having the same issue after the latest ota
None of the above solutions work

I assume you are wanting to disable the capacitative buttons all together, to which you just got to settings-> advanced-> disable capacitative buttons. Hope that helps.

But, if you are trying to only turn off the lights and still using the capacitive buttons, hold the "menu"button for 3 seconds,
The lights go off and still work.

That's a neat trick. My G-Tab's captivity buttons has randomly light-up in the middle of the night since I installed the CM9 (and AOKP) ICS.

In settings > display > notification lights = left disable.
It's a setting to blink capacitive when you have email, SMS, or missed calls, or other notifications.
I don't like, so i left my disabled.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
The correct way to turn the lights off for the capacitive buttons is this:
Settings -> Advanced (under device) -> Screen tab -> Backlight (under touchkeys) turn it off.
Note that here you can also change the timeout if you wish to keep them on but for a shorter period of time

Screen off app but not lock?

I have been looking for an app that simply turns off the screen without locking the device. Can anyone provide a link? Thank you very much!

When you say lock do you mean the slider or the PIN/Pattern lock?
If it's PIN/Pattern, there is a setting under security that says "automatically lock" and I think it defaults to something like 5 seconds. You can change it to a much higher number (a few minutes up to 30 or more). Changing this will cause the PIN/Pattern to become active only after the screen has been off for the consecutive number of minutes that you specify.
If it's a slide lock, you could use something like Tasker to enable to lock a set time after the screen goes off. There are also apps that can do it, but I've never used any of them. There's probably plenty, but this is the first one that came up in a Google search. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.delayedlock2&hl=en

I used the pin lock and set it to lock after 10 minutes of screen off. When I use a screen off app to turn off screen, it turns off screen but also locks the phone immediately. But I want the app to only turn off the screen.

Is there a reason you don't just press the power button? Also, verify that the setting in security for "power button locks instantly" isn't checked. The app may be simulating the power button being pressed, which could lock instantly if that box is ticked.
Sounds to me like you just need to go to the security settings and turn screen lock to none?
That's how I run my phone. Active Display still runs and will come alive when you pick up the phone making you slide to "unlock", but pressing the power button will also dump you straight to your homescreen.
To get rid of that last "lock" when you disturb the phone you would have to uninstall Active Display.

Turning off screen is easier with app than the physical button. Yes I did not check the "power button locks instantly" but the screen off app still locks the phone right away.

I could do that but then there is no security at all.

[Q] Stuck in extreme power saving mode

I switched on extreme power saving mode because I only had 6 percent battery life left and didn't have access to an outlet. Now that I do have it charging, it wont let me disable it. When I click exit it just says Please Wait (been like that for about 20 minutes). Any idea how to fix this?
I am completely stock and unrooted
I've tried shutting down and restarting

Only way i can think of is to reboot to bootloader and factory reset. Plug it in your computer to see if you can save your pics and stuff. If you went to a sprint store that is what they would do.
To get into bootloader power off device hold volume down and the power button. Click hboot then factory reset. That should do it.

Thanks for the response. After about an hour of trying any and everything to get it working I was able to find a way into the power save settings and disable it from there. Not really sure what happened

Same thing happened to me I called HTC and we got it into safe mode and when I hit the home button extreme power saving mode pooped up as a homescreen/launcher along with blink feed and nova so I selected nova and no more issues

I'm having the same issue, it's been over an hour stuck like this. I went in through the phone to settings down to the High Performance Mode and nothing. I tried Safe Mode, nothing. I went into the power settings through system settings and the extreme mode was grayed out as well. I can't do anything to get it working.
Any other ideas? HTC had no idea what I was talking about and told me to take it back to Sprint.

This thread saved my life! I hope this gets to HTC and this bug is fixed! It apparently has something to do with the extreme power saving mode replaceing your home screen, and not being able to find and set the defult home screen back be it blink feed, or google now launcher ect.
Get the lastest software update to permanently fix this problem
I also ran into this problem, and was able to fix it permanently by updating the HTC software with the latest Sprint update. I got there by getting into the general setting by back-spacing while in the phone setting (it won't work for other settings). Now when in EPSM window the exit button works as intended (albeit a bit slowly)

I turn the extreme power safe mode on every night when I go to bed, and disable it the next morning. I had been doing it without a problem for 2 months and this morning had this problem as well. And the funny thing is, BlinkFeed is not my home screen. Reboot, nothing. Forced reboot, nothing. Anyways, toggling the extreme power safe mode on and then off did the trick for me as well.

Cant be Exit - Extremen Power Saver mode -
I have HTC Desire 816 rooted Kitkat version. Now my problem is exit extreme power saver mode.
i can enter exit extreme power saver mode. but i cant to exit extremen power saver mode, my another problem is i cant to bootloader, fastboot etc. so i cant to factory reset. now i am stuck with extreme power saver mode,, please help me to exit power saver mode.
The way out of that page is to click call icon, then setting icon, go back and finally put on (again) extreme power saving mode. Then you can easily exit from extreme power saving mode. Thank you! Jide
For those who are having same ussue on htc 10 devices. (cuz i had one just right now)-
Try holding wolume down button right after powering on to get in safe mode. From there you will be able to disable epsm.

Power button kills a phone call

There is an option in the call settings to check in order to have pressing the power button hang up a call. My flex started killing calls with power button as soon as I got kit Kat. I found the setting feature and it was already unchecked. I set it and rebooted, unchecked rebooted about 4 times. I have tried going back to 4.2.2 but for some reason I can't. Any other ideas?

This happens to me also after updating to KitKat. I can't, for the life of me, figure it out. The option is unchecked in call settings.
I live in sweden and got the kitkat update now i got the same problem and unchecking the checkbox doesnt help you had any luck solving the problem?
Yep after KitKat and trying everything I have the same problem and nothing seems to fix it. The weird thing too is when I LG Flash back to stock Jellybean my double tap to wake doesn't work at all.

FIX : shout down phone, press down all 3 buttons(volume up down and power) and waitfor some options to show up and turn them off.
Voila now your problem should be fix.
The option is for those whos touchscreen is not working and they can answer calls with the 3 buttons.
i know how to fix this

Resolution**** turn it off. Hold down the power and up and down volume keys all at once until a new screen pops up. Select the off option. Then your phone will reboot and the problem is fixed.
Dont waste your time calling your provider they are clueless. ?
hello, i have found by accident how to fix this. It is not a software problem. Its a option enabled for those oho have cracked screen or thouch is not responding. In order to fix it turn off your phone and hold all 3 buttons pressed, volume up down and power buttons . Hold them untill some options show up. And turn that off. That should fix the problem . I Hope this helpped .
