I don't understand why. I power down the phone screen (using the power button), but then it turns back on randomly as I use my mouse and keyboard on the Dex monitor.
I can see that some actions that some actions I do on my keyboard affect the phone, I keep seeing the blur that happens when you pull down the notifications, and I even had an emoji keyboard pop up on my phone screen once.
Does anybody konw how to have my phone screen stay off when I'm using Dex? I don't need that when I have a full monitor and a mouse and a keyboard...
Change the default keybord to Samsung. My issue was fixed when I set samsung keyboard to default from Gboard.

Ok this may be a dumb question but I have been searching for the answer and can not find it any where. I want to unlock and have the screen come on( comeout of standby) by sliding the keyboard out.
Like when you flip out the screen on the side kick.
I have the 2.17 custom rom by xelencin if that helps.
Thanks
I really want that feature too!
To add a same thing to your question, can i unlock the machine with one hand?
I have smartkey installed but everytime i try to unlock the screen, it said I have to press Unlock, and there is no way to press it with a softbutton, i have to either do it with a stylus or the keyboard....

and leave fingerprint smurk on the screen you mean?
The only problem I could see with sliding to turn on / unlock etc is that the magnetic catch on the standard case would then activate the switch on etc... I'm sure it would be possible to intercept this trigger in some way even when the OS is in standby but I can see issues with the device turning on when used with the standard case...
The screen doesn't rotate when you open the keyboard until aftr the device is turned on, which suggests to me that the position of he keyboard isn't monitored by the device when it's switched off. If this is the case ten it would be impossiblt to have the keyboard switch turn the device on.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, pretty sure sliding the keyboard out does not create a wakeup event. It is possible that something like MortSaver could be used to mimic this function - that's a program that turns off the screen and locks the buttons when you press a hotkey - i.e. it doesn't put the device into standby, it just kinda puts it into low power mode. I'm pretty sure that could be rewritten to turn the screen back on when the keyboard slides out. Perhaps if you plead with the author...
After replacing the screen and reinstalling the HTC Rom I am having the most frustrating keyboard/button issue.
When I turn it on everything works great, it's like a new phone. No problems.
When the screen shuts off, either manually or automatically and I turn it back on is when the problem arises. When using the phone with the keyboard, the phone seems to randomly after any key (only on the keyboard) push the center button the front.
Lets say I'm typing in Word, after the 3rd character for example it will save and quit. In SMS it will make a new line. In explorer it will bring up the context menu. Each time the buttons on the from of the phone will turn on, which they shouldn't be doing.
I can use the buttons on the front to do what ever and the problem wont come up, only with the keyboard.
What could I have screwed up while replacing the screen? The thing I don't get is the correlation with the screen shutting off.
Fixed
I fixed it and I'm posting here in case someone else has the same problem.
The faulty part was the scroll wheel and it's little PCB board. I replaced that and now it works. I also discovered that if that piece is missing, you will have the same problem.
In short, my power button is jacked up and at moment due to car troubles I have zero monies to even attempt to call HTC and see if they can do anything about it.
So I would like to know, is there an app that will allow other hardware buttons to power off the screen, or at least make a widget or something on the homescreen to power the phone off?
At the moment I am keyguard disabler to bypass using the power button to cut on the screen, but can't really do anything to cut the screen off.
I will work some on seeing if I can modify the keylayouts, but if anyone else knows anything, any help would be greatly appreciated.
only problem i see with the widget use is that once the screen is off, how would you turn it back on... remapping the hardware buttons would work, but then you wouldnt need a widget...
in the meantime just set the timeout on the screen to something small... just an idea i guess...

I use keyguard disabler which then I can use the trackball to cut it on and yeah, when I'm at work, I just cut it to 15 seconds so it doesn't stay on forever whenever I need to check the time.

I do agree with the shorting the awake time. I did this to change mine to 5 seconds. I installed lock 2.0 and then changed the settings to 5 seconds, rebooted and then uninstall lock 2.0. If for some reason I need the screen on longer to read web or email I use stay awake app. I have stay awake in the status bar. I haven't had good luck with the apps that make the screen stay awake like keyscreen and screeble.
hey there
somebody know an app to turn off the display?
not to lock the device, just to turn off the screen.
i want to watch videos on my tv over hdmi and there´s no need for the display to stay on while watching.
thanks in advance
You can try changing the security settings to when you press the turnoff/on button it won't lock the screen... It's precisely:
Settings-Location & Security-Configure lock screen-Off
Maybe it'll make works as it says it "NEVER lock the screen" it's a good option I think
thanks for your answer
unfortunately thats not what i´m looking for. even if there´s no screen lock defined the device will go into a locked state if power button is pressed.
try to run a video on youtube and press power.
i cant imagine that its so odd to just turn off the display itself or that it whould be complicated to have an app for that.
am i the only one who uses android as a media player for a tv?
Ever tried androidwebkey? it's an app wich let you control your phone/tablet from your pc (or any other device with an internet browser). You can launch/close apps, acces terminal and stuff. But you can also adjust your brightness, even to zero (totally off). Try it out!
I imagine you could use Tasker to turn off the screen automatically whenever you plug the hdmi cord in.
Hi everyone! I just picked up a Samsung Dex station for cheap, and I really like it but I'm finding that I'm having a simple issue. Every time my keyboard goes into a text field, my phone's screen turns on. I have tried this with the default Samsung keyboard and also SwiftKey keyboard, which is my personal favorite. It just turns on the screen and I have to turn it off again. But this happens every time I go into a text field!
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
EDIT: So if I leave the screen on as Dexpad, it dims the screen a lot and I can see the words at the bottom of the screen. But is this all right? There are some things on the screen that are constantly there. Is this going to be bad for my phone in the long run if I end up using Dex a lot?
Thanks.
