in the backlight settings, you say you have the power save enabled but this does sound like it is not enabled. Maybe trying disabling and then enabling again.
its possible the theme you are using makes the checkbox look likes its enabled when its not. I have tried a few themes which left some confusion ilke this
Also, how long do you have "active after"? mine is set to 1 minute at which time the backlight goes off completely

My phone is doing the same thing as yours. When I first purcahsed it about 2 months ago, the screen would completely shut off after about 30 sec of being idle, now it just dims to the point of almost shutting off but never completely shuts off. It's killing my battery.
Did you find out what was wrong with your phone? How did you fix it?
I tried changing all of the backlight settings with no luck.
Please help. |

See if the default theme works that feature how it is supposed to work.
OR try the almighty master reset.

OK so i finally sync'd my phone up and did the dreaded Master Reset...
Everything worked perfectly after the reset so I got on the phone with T-Mobile so they could send the programming instructions to my phone for internet access and MMS setup.
Everything was great until I received a text message from "129" and there was no text in the message body. After that, the phone went back to not alerting and not shutting off the screen. I didn't htink anything of it, but there was a "129" message in my inbox before my phone went coo-coo the first time.
It's like the phone is still "thinking" about something... weird.
Now I have to do a reset again...
Anyone know what's up? I read that the "129" message is a carrier service that allows people to "page" me and leave their phone number as a text message for a call-back, but it seems to throw the phone for a loop.
Please help. Anyone else experience this? I hate haveing to reset each time a "129" message comes. |
