hi,
does anyone know how i can set it so the screen auto locks after a given amount of time or is there a freeware app that can do this please. because i rather have it that having to remember to press the power button to lock everytime, sometimes i might forget.
cheerz,
snoop
Lock the Screen? Power-Button simply switches the Device of, e.g. the screen. In Power Management you can set a Device timeout in Battery Mode and on AC Operation. This is equal to pushing the Power Button
I think i see the problem, or i'll tell my problem with that issue...
When you push the power-button the screen turns off and is locked, but if you receive a sms or so, the screen returns back on and is not locked...
ok ye i think u get my point.
i dont know about screen lock after receiveing sms or call.
but i c the point of samson, pressing the power botton does lock the screen.

look for deviceock or vj devicelock.
There is a today-application called BatteryStatus. With its help you can lock the device automatically when it is shut down. Does the job for me - of course you allways have to unlock the device after turning it on.

If you had bothered typing 'BatteryStatus' into Google you'd have seen it was the first hit. Establishing it is the right program is simply a case of reading the web page. Why are people so goddam lazy these days?
yes ok i get your point. sorry.
right i have installed. lots of nice options and things. but have little problem now. As we knw the device has the function where as the backlight will turn off after a set amount of time. Mines set to 30sec for battery power and 1min for external power.
After 30secs (using battery) it does its job and turns off the backlight. Normally i would press the power button and device turns back on. HOWEVER! since installing batterystatus the device just wont turn back on. I mean its got enough battery, i can tell this because 1) the light at the top flashes 2) Heres the strange thing , the only way i seem to be able to waking the device from backlight is by pluging in the usb cable.
So i thought i would try and un-install the app see if that would help..but nope that didnt help because it still does the same thing.
After installing the app i did a soft rest. I thought it might help, but it didnt. This is the other thing, once i did this, i see the t-mobile splash screen where shows the ROM and other info. And then i just goes blank for a while....and then i see the T-mobile PIN entry keypad splashing by every few secs. I was only able to by pass this after trying and trying to enter pin number on a black screen.
Do you think i should do a hard-rest? Dont really want to do this. Means i have to re-install my little apps and contacts, email settings etc etc.
Can anyone help me with this problem please??
Hi there, i had quite te same problem, after a soft reset the backlight turns on until the bootup screen dissapears, then the screen seems to be blank, but it shows everything, but without the backlight on. You have to point a light onto the screen and you can hardly see wats on it.
Then go to the backlight settings and turn it up.
Then you have to look at every program, thats adjusting the backlight settings and turn of automatic darken screen or so in the program.
That helped for me.

WOW great i thought it was just me *phew! lol*. Thats excatly what is/was happening to me but....
this app just gets stranger and stranger.

And :S stranger thing was that the problem didnt happen this time, i saw the t-mob splash screen, saw the windows mobile green splash screen and then my keylock and then pin number screens.
hmmmm no idea wots that was all about. but hey its all working K.O so im happy now. just got to fiddle with the settings now
Thanks againt to everyones help. Appercaited

Hello im looking for simple app if anyone cancreate this will be awesome.
There already have many free litle apps that Turn your Screen OFF but.. they only Turn the screen backlight off and your device is not really into sleep mode.
My sugesstion is if someone can create a simple light Sleep Model Togler we can install it and assing some of the softkeys to SLEEP and when you press it just the device go into sleep mode.
So this will be good because you dont need anymore to press all the time the power button if you want your device to sleep, and after long time of using this power button often get broken.. so when we can turn into sleep model by pressing the assigned softkey will be perfect and easy to use with One HAND no need to press the power button anymore.
Im talking about the Blackstone but this app will be usefull for all others too...
P.S Sorry i didn`t know that the app Is Already Avalible and Thanks to virgilp to pointing this out

Strange issue
a new samsung s4 mini, stock rom.
the screen will not turn off. whenever it enters sleep mode, the screen blacks out for a second, then turns back on.
this happens when it goed to sleep automatically, or when pressing the powerbutton
tried factory reset, same problem (no extra programs installed)
installed a wakelock ap, but that does not really show a reason why it should be turning on?
Anyhting obvious i am missing, or should i just return this to the dealer.

Have you installed any app like "Screen ON"?
I ve got this problem from time to time, when I lock the phone it wakes up for 5s and then turns the screen off although I have had twice the situation where the screen was on all the time till I pressed off button again...strange.
Had this problem long time ago with Note 1 and somebody said that the phone wakes up if it looses the signal and searching for it again......
dont know......
Im not really sure but might as well try.
Have you turned on Daydream ?
You can find it in Settings 》My Device 》 Display
Make sure it is off.
If that hasnt worked, if you have a cover on take it off and then see if you still have that problem. Maybe the cover is too tight and its presing on a button.
If that doesnt work, then now lets turn off Smart Stay. Swipe down your notification bar and look for Smart Stay and turn it off.
If none of these have worked then I'm not sure :/
Hope your problems gets fixed.

Hello ! I'm trying to figure out a way to get Windows RT (on a surface tablet, if it changes anything) to automagically sleep and wake at set times.
Right now, i tried using these instructions -- http://www.groovypost.com/howto/schedule-wake-sleep-windows-automatically/
And i'm not getting far. Here is the command for the sleep,
Rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep
I'm trying to run this commands in an administrator cmd prompt, it doesn't give any error, it just does nothing, it sure doesn't sleep.
There's probably a whole different cmdset to sleep the computer.. i just didn't find anything but googling. Thanks for any tips !! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Anyone has a clue ?
Is using the Quiet Hours feature in 8.1 of use?
Um.. I don't see how ? it seems to only disable the notifications ? I might missed something..
Isn;t the tablet going to sleep when you press the power button and wakes up when you press it again...?
