Screen turning off when streaming

Hi
I have an E63 and use SkyFire to stream TV from tvcatchup.com but every minute or so the screen fades away and I have to press the centre nav button to keep the screen going. Not a major problem in most circumstances but when I'm on the treadmill its a real pain in the **bleep**.
Is there any way to stop this?

Hi chn68b
As you said " it is not a major problem" so the solution: use one of the following
1) there is alot of programs that keeps the screen lights on as long as you want " adjusted in program settings" , they are in the name of " torch " or " on screen" , try to google it and find the suitable program for your phone model.
2) go to Settings --> General --> Personalisation --> Display --> Power saver time-out    and change it to 90 sec
             Settings --> General --> Personalisation --> Display --> Light time-out      and change it to 60 sec
N.B: those steps mentioned in 2nd solution are according to my E51. you may find some differences but the general idea is the same.
       an advice: streaming and keeping lights on will empty your battery faster and lower the battery life-span , so don't expend much time using streaming to keep the battery the longest time functioning and healty
I hope that helps , and let me know

Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode

I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?

Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l...
If that does not help, try a factory reset:
1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

Screen turns off when making a call, wont go back on until I end call.

How do I get the screen to turn back on when I am making a call? I dont know how this happened. I didnt drop my phone or anything and now when making a call the screen turns off. I tapped the screeen and tilted the phone and it still didnt turn on. I am unable to put call on speakerphone or select any other options. HELP!

The screen turns off during a call. The light sensor senses that your face is near and turns it off to conserve battery life. If you have to access the screen for a function i.e. to enter an extension number, the sensor once again senses the difference in light and turns the screen back on.
That much you probably already knew; that was mostly for the benefit of others reading this thread. If your screen is not turning back on, it's a software issue. The quickest and most effective cure for software issues is the good ol' battery pull. With your phone powered on, remove the battery then replace it a few seconds later.
That should help. Please post back with your results.

My MacBook Pro screen turns off when I open the lid!

This has been driving me nuts, and also apparently Apple as well.
When my MacBook Pro is connected to a power adapter, if I close the lid it sleeps like a good little Mac. When I open the lid, the display comes on instantly. Then after about a second, it goes black. The LED backlight turns off. I can get it to come on using either of two ways: 1) touch either of the brightness buttons, or 2) remove and replace the power connector.
Now, here is the weird part: it only seems to do it when I am logged in as me. If I login as guest, it doesn't happen. That would seem to imply it is something about my profile that causes it to happen. So I whacked ~/Library/Preferences and it still happened. So where is this particular bit of nastiness hiding?

OK, so I think I solved my issue. It was caused by the system not going to sleep (The screensaver thing was a dead end).
When I ran the console app pmset, I got something like this:
➜ ~ pmset -g assertions
12-06-29 9:11:06 AM EDT
Assertion status system-wide:
   PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep             0
   CPUBoundAssertion                       0

   UserIsActive                            0
   ApplePushServiceTask                    0
The process that was causing PreventSystemSleep to be 1 was "org.cups.cupsd" which is the print service. So I checked all my printers, one of them was "In Use". When I opened it, there weren't any jobs listed. I went through the options and selected Jobs > Show Everyone's Jobs and sure enough there was a job there. I deleted it and everything seems to work now.
The odd thing is that print job was probably from my other account which didn't seem to have this screen problem. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone out there....

IPhone 3G Screen turns off when lowering from ear during call

I have my 3rd iPhone; bought it yesterday (last one stolen in Denver Airport). The screen works normally when using the functions other than the phone. When making a call everything is normal but when I put the phone to my ear, I have noticed that the screen does not turn off, however, when lowering the phone to look at the screen during the call, it goes completely blank despite the call still being connected. I tried pushing all the buttons to no avail. I did a reset and also a software restore without success. I discovered that when I lowered the phone during a call and the screen goes blank, I put my warm thumb over the little horizontal sensor above the screen and it would come back on. If I released my thumb it would turn off (the exact opposite of what should happen). I called apple, they said to return the phone because there probably is a hardware issue. I bought it at an ATT store in Santa Barbara, CA; I am told there is a restocking fee to replace the phone!! Amazing, buy a new product, its defective, return it for a new one, and they extract $20 additional dollars from you. Anyone else with a similar problem.

If it is not in a case and it is defective the only way that the AT&T store will swap out the phone for a new one without the restocking fee is if it's under 14 days. After the 14 days you have to bring it to an Apple store for repair or a replacement. I recommend purchasing the iCare warranty through apple, because it will extend the warranty to 2 years on the phone, and when your phone breaks the apple store will replace it on the spot if they can't repair it in the store instead of sending it out for repair and you waiting for it.

KDE - Keep Screen Turned Off When The Lid Is Closed

Hello all,
I configured KDE to turn off the screen when I close my lid and this part works OK.
Problem is, once I move the mouse while the lid is closed the screen wakes up (it's not hard to tell, light gets out from the sides).
If I configure the lid action to be sleep, the computer sleeps and wakes up with lid close/open with the mouse not getting in the way.
Any idea on how I can configure it to block mouse input while the lid is closed so the screen stays off?
Thanks, Adam.

Doug.
You're a genius!!! It worked. It wasn't the keyboard that was not reset properly, it is the escape (hey, it kind of looks like Escape - with a Ellen degeneres slang ) key. It is on the fritz and does not want to sit properly. I removed it temporarily, and, voila, it works again.
Thanks again for the headache solved. Now on to my 3 and 5 year old girls - a totally different problem. Maybe it is their CPU???

Screen turned off when hitting escape from safari

entered safari in full screen mode, hit the esc button to minimize and the screen went to sleep, pressed cmd and the screen came back. Is this normal?

If it happens once or twice, it's normal. If it happens regularly, it's something you should investigate.

Screen turns off while install

Hi
I tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work
the problem is that when the installation comes to the point that I am loged in as root (at the start ) the screen turns off.
when i write reboot the machine reboots, tried alt+ctrl+f1 or f2 acpi=off and all things that are noted in the cookbok but nothing works
the macine is acer aspire 1350 with KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] graphics
thanks

I'm not overly familiar with what installing Arch looks like (nowadays). I presume you boot from some medium, Arch boots, then you have a login screen on the first virtual console, you log in as root - and then your screen turns off and you can't turn it on? Do you get some "no signal" message?
I can't think of anything else other than trying a different kernel (latest Arch live medium uses 3.8, it seems; Crunchbang probably uses something older, doesn't it?). Trying a different kernel on a live medium - well, can't do it. You could set up sshd (shouldn't be a problem even without a working screen) and install Arch using that (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_SSH). Alternatively, you can do https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … her_distro . You should also install linux-lts (which contains kernel 3.0) or get a kernel older than 3.8 from ARM (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … ckages#ARM).
-edit-
Or you could try older live media. The one from February should have a 3.7 kernel. http://mirror.brainfork.me/archlinux/iso/

Wifi turns off when screen turns off

Hi all. I noticed that my wifi turns off when my screen turns off (to save energy) on my brand new rMBP. The mac isn't asleep, just the screen as I have specified in the settings to turn off but the actual laptop is still on. Well when I move the mouse or press a key, the screen naturally comes on right away but I noticed that wifi turns on and reconnected. So if I was streaming music or something, it would stop and disconnect when the screen goes off. Does this make sense?
How do I disable this? I don't want my wifi to turn off at all when my screen turns off. If I'm downloading/streaming or whatever, I want my connection to remain on. Thoughts?

edit:
i know there's the option "prevent computer sleeping when screen is off" under power adpter, but i would like it done while running battery.
thank you.

My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?
Please apple support do you people have a convincing answer for us? Is there a solution? My phone is only 2 years old and was (2 hours ago), in top condition!!
Please help....

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

Screen not turning off when closing the lid

I have Windows 7 64-bit installed on my MacBook Air 13.3" as the only OS.
Everything is working great with the bootcamp drivers except that when I close the lid the screen does not turn off. I don't want to turn off the notebook but only want the screen to turn off when the lid is down. I have looked a lot for a solution and am not able to find anything which can solve this problem.
There is nothing in the power options that can be done. Bootcamp is supposed to recognize this by itself, but unfortunately it doesn't.
Does anyone know a work around for this?
Thank you

That is correct. I have noticed the same thing. Windows 7 gives better battery life on MacBook Air then Mac OSX.
I went to talk to a Genius about this, pretty useless, told me to wait for an update. It has been half a year but no update yet. This is the only problem with the Bootcamp drivers I have experienced. I have managed to live with it, but is still pretty annoying. I always once in a while think about finding a way to fix it, but there is nothing that can fix this problem. Unless someone at Apple sees and listens to what is going on in the online fourms and fix the problem.

Can't type in text when turn phone landscape and screen turns off

When I turn my iphone 6 (regular not plus) sideways to type in text most of the time it won't let me type anything and sometimes the screen turns off. If I reset back to portrait a few times sometimes it will start working and sometimes I have to reboot for it to correct. Anyone alse having this issue?

I am having the same issue. It won;t let me text in landscape - but if I turn back to portrait start typing and turn back to landscape it will allow me to continue. And I am also getting the black screen occasionally as u mentioned

Screen turns off immediately when setting systemIdleMode to NORMAL after having been in KEEP_AWAKE

I've found a little issue in Android...
In my application I download some files the first time it's run. Since it takes a couple of minutes without user input, the screen turns off automatically. I've found some tablets not only turn off the screen but also interrupt the download altogether when going to sleep, so to avoid this I'm using this to prevent the screen from turning off (is there any other workaround to prevent downloads being interrupted by sleep?):
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
Of course, I've also added the WAKE_LOCK and DISABLE_KEYWARD permissions to my app descriptor, so the above code works. The problem is that I don't want the app to stay awake all the time, so after the download finishes, I'm setting the screen back to normal with:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.NORMAL;
But after executing that, the screen goes off immediately, instead of waiting for a minute or so before dimming the screen. It's as if the dimming was triggered already during the download process, but didn't actually happen because of the KEEP_AWAKE setting, and then when switching to NORMAL, the screen dimming takes place immediately so it turns off.
Is this an intended behaviour or should I file a bug?
How can I manage to set the systemIdleMode to NORMAL but still have the screen on waiting a bit before going to sleep? Turning off the screen as soon as the download is finished is confusing for the user, who might think the app has frozen when it's really just in sleep mode (and the user has to unlock the screen before going back to the app).
This happens in just about any version of AIR 3.x (and probably below).
Also, it happens in iOS as well, but it's less dramatic because the screen just dims a little (app is still visible) when setting systemIdleMode to NORMAL, instead of turning off completely and locking the screen, which is the behaviour in Android.

What do you mean? That it doesn't happen in iOS 6.0 anymore? What do you mean with "me app lock"? Please, elaborate
