I have used the guidelines in https://www.pulse-station.com/ufaqs/motion-turn-on-android-tablet/ to configure Tasker.
It works OK but when I reach the screen timeout in Android (in my case 10 min) following happens:
- the screen fades and then goes black ... which is OK
- when a motion occurs the screen lights up ... which is OK
- but the after 5 sec it fades again and goes black ... which is not OK
Got the feeling that Tasker is not handling the screen timeout correctly.
Running on Android 9.
How can this be avoided ... I am a beginner when it comes to Tasker.

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.

Strange problem that might be a common issue. I have just gone through the process of installing Android on my TyTN II and the android system itself is working fine. Although for some reason, when the screen goes off (after screen timeout) when I push the power button to wake up (and then unlock) the device the screen just comes on as a big white screen (no image, almost as if im using the screen as a flashlight or something).
I have tried 2 different android ROMs now and it happens with both of them. Anyone got any ideas?

This has now been fixed by changing the panel type of the display from Auto to "1" in the kernel and re-flashing.
[UPDATED]
Fixed in 4.2.2 update
THIS ONLY SEEMS TO DO IT IN LANDSCAPE MODE!?!?! WTF!?!?!?
This may seem minor to most of you but I use this to time my daughters physio exercises.
Can someone please try this out? Set screen/display timeout to 1 minute. Go to standard clock app. Swipe sideways to countdown timer. Set timer to 00:05:00. Start timer. Leave the phone for around 2 1/2 minutes (so display times out and phone locks). Unlock phone.
How many of you now have 12 hours left to go!?!?
Or is it just my phone randomly adding 12 hours to the countdown when the screen is off? :silly:
Mine did not, but I'm not sure if we have our locks set to the same action. I set my phone to require a pin after 15 minutes of the screen being off, how do you have yours set so I can mimic your settings?
No screen lock, sleep 1 minute.
Updated

I can't manage to reproduce the bug on my end, but then again, I'm on a Sprint model.
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.
Hi guys,
I've been trying to find a solution to this issue for a while now and it's driving me crazy. I love my ROG II but my only complaint is that the screen timeout is SUPER short. Its like 10 seconds and then my screen goes dark. I have to constantly be touching my screen so it doesn't go to sleep while I'm watching a video or reading an article. Even when I'm trying to show someone a photo or anything on my screen they always say "Oh, it turned off". So annoying! I went through all the settings but can't find anything! Please tell me I'm missing it and that there is actually a solution to this! Thank you so much!
You should be able to change the time out in settings > display > sleep
It's currently set to 10 mins. Still goes to sleep after about 10 seconds of inactivity. ??
