Backlight Timeout & Power save - N96

I notice when using applications that require you to wait moment (I.E waiting for a search to finish in maps) the back light cuts off at around 5 seconds.
Anyone know how to extend this? Am I in power save mode?
Cheers

Go to Solution.

Briefly press the power button and then scroll one notch up.
If the option you now see is "Deactivate power saving" then power saving is engaged right now. Obviously select the option to deactivate power saving and revert to your normal settings.
Note the difference in the battery symbol itself below the bars of the battery level indicator when you switch power saving on/off.
NB: the phone goes automatically to power saving mode when there's only one bar left on the battery indicator. But it should deactivate PS when you start charging the phone.

  • N96 V30.033 Power Saver Problems

    Hi there,
    I've just recently updated my N96 to V30.033 and now the power saver does not seem to work properly.
    I have an .swf animation set in the Power Saver options (power save timeout set to 30 secs). After 30 secs when it tries to go into power save, the animation comes up briefly, and then comes out of power save (back to the standby screen. or whatever screen you had open last).
    It will just keep doing this in a loop.
    It used to work on the last firmware, any ideas?
    The only way to stop this is not to use an animation.
    Thanks.

    Binx:This is definitly one of the problems comin directly from the firmware, because it used to work for me before as well and now all of a sudden with this **bleep** firmware, we are back to triangle of worst firmwares (V10, V11, V30)............

  • Nokia N78 - Power Saver Timeout reverts to default

    I received the nokia N78 from vodafone on Saturday and set it up for the power saver to kick in after 30 seconds (from the sliding option scale of 1-90 seconds. I found that after the first couple of times of this functioning as requested it reverts back to a default of 5 seconds before going into power save. The requested 30 seconds remains in the settings but still the default overrides. I tried resetting this a number of times with identical results. I received a replacement handset today and attempted similar setups of this feature with the same identical results....It becomes very frustrating when your mid text or searching the gallery and the screen goes blank despite specific settings requested....Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how I can fix this???

    N78 Firmware 12.046.051.1
    NOKIA N78 GREAT BUT 3 BUGS (SO FAR)
    Bug 1: On my N78 if I enable the "phone autolock period" to anything, the lights go off at 5 seconds and if I do factory defaults and do not use "phone autolock", the lights stay on as long as I set it to. Quite frustrating as I like my phone to "autolock always" if unattended or lost.
    Workaround:
    1) Factory defaults your Mobile and just don't use 'phone autolock'.
    OR
    2) A restart corrects everything temporarily, but after several timeouts, it returns to the 5 seconds setting.
    Yes, it is really an annoying bug Nokia.
    Bug 2: Weekly alarm; if I set a new weekly alarm for any future day and on saving it the day sets to today every time. This is just annoying.
    Bug 3: With N78 ' in KEY-PAD autolocked mode', the alarm goes off when you press 'stop' for longer than a second, and surprise the message reader activates like postmaster.
    Wakeup Nokia this firmware has been out for a while now and its time to come up with new firmware without bugggggggggssssssss....
    Hope Nokia will come out with new bug free firmware for N78.

  • Backlight turns on in Power Saver mode with digita...

    I have a 1208 (V5.06), and when I have the Power Saver Clock on with the digital clock displayed, it seems that on every minute change the backlight turns on. I believe this is the cause of my short battery life.
    Is there any way I can stop this from happening, besides disabling the digital clock display?
    Message Edited by sandywilkins on 26-Dec-2008 08:08 PM

    Actually I disabled the Power Saver mode and it still happens. The backlight dims normally and just randomly turns on for a few seconds then turns back off.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • N79 Power Saver Theme Problem

    I bought an N79 just last mounth.
    it's a sweet phone but i have an small problem.;
    when i choose a theme for power saver (Date, text, slide show , ....) it have been shown for only 2 seconds and disappear and screen goes to BLACK.
    even i choose longest time for power Saver but it did not work.
    anyone has problem like this? any idea?
    Does NOKIA fix this problem in new firmware?
    how can i report this BUG to NOKIA?
    thanks
    Nokia N79 4GB
    SW Version: 32.001 RM-348 MEA

    I really doubt this is a deliberate design. Most other Nokia phones have the same "power saver" which pops up when the phone is idle, and all of them - even current ones - are set up so that:
    1) The power saver appears after its timeout
    2) The backlight switches off after its own, independent timeout
    3) The power saver remains shown regardless of the phone's current state
    Why would the Power Saver have its own timeout and selection of Power Saver screens designed to show you the date and time, if it can only be shown for 2 seconds? I'm disappointed that Nokia support is disregarding this issue, but I assume it's more out of ignorance and a stock response than any insight into their plans for future firmware updates. Is there a "bug report" page or something we can use to ensure it's properly logged and not just dismissed?
    Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

  • N95 Screen (power) Saver

    Hi all wise people!
    Can anybody help me - how to disable this damn screen saver in N95?? Can only set its time to 90 sec which makes my mobile totally useless while using my GPS application....
    Is there any trick or a piece of software? Even in my old N73 I could set the time to 15 minutes which wasn't perfect but still better than **bleep** 90 sec!
    Any ideas would be very welcomed....

    Ok, Official Answer from Nokia (You’ve got to be kidding me), and SOLUTION that worked for me thanks to cjlim.
    Your Nokia N95 device was not manufactured to have the display or keypad lights remain continuously illuminated, unless connected to an installed Nokia car kit.
    However, the display light time can extended to 60 seconds. Please follow the provided steps to adjust the display light time for your Nokia N95 device:
    1. Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalization > Display > Light time-out > 60 seconds.
    Please note that once the 60-second delay has transpired, we recommend quickly pressing the Right or the Left scroll key, which may activate the display light without exiting any menus if keyguard is not active. If the keyguard has been activated, you can turn on the display light by pressing the Power key.
    Regarding the power saver feature, your Nokia N95 8 GB device was not designed with the ability to disable the power saver feature. However, the power saver’s time-out may adjust to a maximum time of 90 seconds. Please follow the provided steps to adjust your device’s power saver feature:
    1. Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalization > Display > Power saver time-out > 90 seconds
    Please note that the screen saver feature cannot be disabled.
    We hope that this helps and regret any inconvenience this may cause you.
    If you have any additional questions, please contact us. To ensure proper handling, please continue to use the current subject line.
    Thank you for choosing Nokia for your mobile needs.
    The Solution:
    Download and install Smart2go (thanks cjlim), then go to |Maps|Options|Settings|General|Backlight| and choose |Always On|, the phone no longer enters screen saver mode while using the GPS even when on battery! Sweet!

  • Nokia E71 power saver (NONE)

    Hi! Can anyone answer me if it is really normal in E71 that when you chose the power saver NONE, when the screensaver clock appears, it doesn;t move and update the time unless you press and hold the d-pad that shows the big clock.. unlike when you chose the power saver NOW PLAYING, it does move up and down, and the time is being updated.

    As you said, the blank screen is definitely the most energy efficient.
    If the "off" setting blanks the display then I think they meant to say "Screen off" but lost the "screen" somewhere in the translation.
    You should also have another setting called either "Power saver timeout" or "Lightout time".

  • 6233 - Power Saver not working

    Hi
    I've just upgraded to the 6233. Most things seem to be fine apart from the fact that the power save function doesn't seem to work.
    I have turned power save on, but when I leave the phone alone for a while all it does is dim the screen. I don't get the normal blank screen with just the clock on it.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello
    I noticed exactly the same problem: Some times the screensaver (not animated) would come on, followed by a completely blank screen - this is what I want to see. Other times, the screensaver would not come on and the screen would not blank out (only the backlight switches off), resulting in quicker battery draining. The only way that I could find so far to work around this problem is to reboot the phone.
    I have firmware version 3.70 and will upgrade to 4.52 later today. I really like this phone in terms of build quality and general features, and imho it would be a real winner if these little niggly problems are sorted out.
    Regards

  • Phone backlight timeout on bold

    Hey everyone. I just recently got the blackberry bold. My phones backlight timeout is set for 10 seconds. But it never turns off the backlight, even after a couple minutes. I know on my old curve 8310 it would do this perfectly, why is it not working on my bold? And when I set the keyboard lock it turns off, but then the light turns back on and just stays on. Help please?
    Just a note, im not sure if it affects anything. I have some apps I downloaded including Viigo, flashlight, and google maps.

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    At Options > Screen/Keyboard, make your setting something different, like 30 or 45 seconds, save and With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    Try it and see if that works. 
    If so, return and set the timeout to your desired amount.

  • Toshiba Power saver may be the problem

    My Satellite A665-S6050 has had all of the symptoms you read about in these forums;
    crash, freeze, hung, locked, BSOD, Windows crash errors, etc.
      I bought the laptop new a couple years ago and both love it and hate it when it exhibits
    its freezing behavior. This is the intel I-3, 4 GB ram, Windows 7(64 bit) version. Really nice
    when it's running normally.
      I have watched and read through hundreds of posts throughout these forums since my purchase.
    I have never sent the laptop back to Toshiba. Primarily because I've been able to force power off
    then on, go to safe mode, schedule a disk scan on the next power up, reboots normally and I'm good
    for who knows how long.
      Following suggestions you can read in these forums, I have upgraded the Intel HD graphics display driver.
    I install Windows updates every time they come available(auto update is enabled). I've updated the
    Toshiba bios. I've updated Firefox every time it is available(my favorite browser). Updated java and
    flash(again automatic updates). Some user settings that I've changed; I've disabled sleep mode(set it
    to 'never' under 'advanced power settings) in every power scheme I have. I only use 'High Performance'
    power scheme(plan). I have the setting for turning off the hard drive set to 'never'. My rational for doing
    this is there is just too much going on under Windows 7, all the time. You never know what's running in the
    background. Many times as the laptop freezes and or Windows tries it's best to recover, I get a strong feeling
    that the hard drive has shut off! Especially, when Windows is trying to save a dump but can't because it can't
    access hd0(hard drive)(I have to force power cycle off/on to recover).
      This brings me to my current state of this troubleshooting saga. The last time the laptop froze, I was watching
    streaming video in one Firefox window and had a slide show playing in another Firefox window(2 windows, not
    2 tabs). Then in the lower right corner I get the Toshiba power saver notification that it is shutting down the
    optical drive. It goes away on it's own in about 10 seconds. But immediately everything gets real slow until every
    freezes. Windows tries to save a dump but can't. Windows tries to reboot itself but can't. Shows me a screen to
    modify the boot list because the hd0 is not available. So, as so many times before I have to hold the power
    button down for force power off. Wait a few, then power on, do my thing with safe mode, check disk, etc.
    Power up and boots normally. Runs great for who knows how long. Right now as I type this, I have a audio CD
    in my optical drive with Windows Media player set to 'replay' continuously. This I hope will prevent the 'Toshiba
    power saver' from getting triggered because the optical drive is not idle and therefore won't shut off the hard
    drive too! I have no idea how I can prove that 'Toshiba Power saver' is causing these freezes, crashes, lock ups,
    etc. But at least if I can keep the optical drive in use and therefore prevent the 'power saver' from kicking in
    maybe I can eliminate that as a possible cause of the freezes.
      I am really disappointed to read so many Toshiba owners sending their computers to Toshiba service
    hoping and praying for resolution but getting no satisfaction in the end. I love my Toshiba and I'll keep it.
    I am a recreational user. Don't need to save power. When I use my computer, I want it to function as
    powerful as possible until I intentionally perform a normal Windows shutdown.
      My employer supplies me with a laptop (different brand). It has Intel I-5 chip, 3 GB ram Win XP Pro..
    I run that computer full speed 9 -10 hours a day and I may have to reboot maybe once every other week.
    Not bad considering the abuse I put it through. I would hate to have to rely on this Toshiba for work. I
    don't think it could stay fully operational for that period of time.
      Please Toshiba, tell me how I can help with the troubleshooting of this seriously pervasive problem on
    so many of your computers. Is there an event log I can provide? Windows dump files(when they do get
    saved)?  Help me help you resolve this problem and satisfy hundreds of your customers.
    Thank you in advance for your time.
    Doug

    Jerry,
      It happened again this afternoon. This is the first time my system froze since the last time
    I reported here in the forum. And just like I reported earlier, Toshiba Power Saver turned off
    the optical drive power, I saw the pop-up in the lower right corner to notify me of the event.
    I had Toshiba 'PC Health Monitor' running and minimized. I clicked on the icon to restore it
    to the desktop. It displayed as expected. The hard drive graphic looked normal and spinning
    as usual. I clicked on the graphic of the spinning hard drive and expected 'Power Options' to
    display. Instead my desktop went away(all icons, system tray, system notification area, launch
    pad, etc), everything gone. The graphic of the spinning hard drive stopped spinning. I tried a
    CTL+ALT+DEL and got a new pop-up from Windows that it couldn't respond and I had 2 options;
    press ESC or hold the power button down to force power and a shutdown. Which is what I eventually
    did.
      Powered up, went to safe mode, scheduled disk check on the next restart. Disk check runs and
    finds no problem. System runs normally again.
      As far as finding these events in the Windows logs using 'Event viewer', is not going to help.
    I know exactly what time this all took place. I just can't find any event log showing that it took
    place. There's a small gap in the time stamps just before the event until a few minutes after the
    event. Then I see a mixture of 'errors' and 'information' events after the power on and restart
    but nothing specifically addressing the hard drive before the restart.
    I see an event log; "Previous shutdown was not expected". I'm sure that's not what your asking
    to see.  I don't know if it would be possible to trace the 'Toshiba Power Saver' but that may be
    the only way I could prove my point that it is shutting off power to both the optical drive and
    the hard drive at the same time.
    Is there a way to disable or remove Toshiba Power Saver without causing a more serious problem?
    Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
    Doug.

  • My Andoid Devices wil not wake up my printer from Power Save Mode

    I have an HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw istalled as a wireless network printer. I have various computers with XP and Windows 8 operating systems that wake up  the printer from Power Save mode without problems. I also can print wirelessly from my Windows 8 phone. The problem arises when I try to print from my Android devices. I have installed the HP All-In-One Remote App from the Android Store and they seem to have installed correctly. They recognise the network printer, tell me that it is Power Save mode but are unable to wake it up. Can anyone help with this one please?
    The Andoid version on the Tablet is 4.2.2
    This question was solved.

    Hello Jerends and thank you for your attention to my printer problem. My printer already has a fixed IP address so no need to go down that road. I managed to get around the problem by deleting the HP All in One App from my Android devices and replacing it with the HPePrint App. It's not perfect but does the job.
    Thanks again.

  • In an iPhone 3GS (or 4G), can a user configure the WiFi power-save to extend battery life?

    In an iPhone 3GS (or 4G when I upgrade), can a user configure the WiFi power-save operation to extend the battery life?  For example:  Can a user turn on/off WiFi power-save operation?  Can a user specify WiFi sleep duration?  Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

    Yikes!   Thanks, Templeton.  Do WiFi app programmers have control over power-save settings?  For example, can a first VoIP app be more energy-efficient than a second VoIP app?

  • Fatal Error when starting Power Saver on Tecra M9

    When I try to start Power Saver on a Tecra M9 (21), I get a Fatal error; code: 0X51A.
    I've tried various combinations of uninstalling, cleaning registry, rebooting, etc., but everytime I reinstall (version 7), I get the same fatal error.

    Hi
    You are speaking about the Power saver for XP? Am I right?
    Please note that you have to install all drivers, tools and utilities in the right order!!!
    The installation instruction should be checked and you should follow the guide lines.
    Very important;
    The common modules is a necessary tool to get all other Toshiba tools running properly. Furthermore there is a power saver driver and utility. The driver must be installed before the utility!!!
    Please dont forget this!!!

  • Receiving error message when trying to install Toshiba Power Saver

    Recently toshiba power saver stopped working - I removed it and redownloaded it from this website, now whenever I try to run the install i get a "unable to machine id" message and the install stops.
    First time posting here so If i'm on the wrong forum or you need anything else apologies in advance.

    Hi there,
    where did youve downloaded the powersaver? Maybe you downloaded the wrong one for your machine. Its absolutely important to download EXACTLY that software which fits your machine type.
    When downloading stuff from toshiba websites you have to keep an eye on the version of your machine (e.g. Satellite A100-552 -> download the software for type "552" of the Satellite A100 series).
    This sometimes resolves many errors and clarify some not very nice situations.
    Please, more details on your problem. :)
