8" Scroll Powering Off when screen goes off.

Postby coffer » November 9th, 2011, 11:49 am

Hi guys,
Anyone else having a problem with the Scroll powering down when the screen is off for more than a few minutes? My Scroll in rooted with CWM and CM7 flashed. There is no option in CM7 to manage the battery saving power off interval. I have the screen permanently on, to stop it but it can't be doing the Scroll H/W any good. Anybody found a fix?

Have a look on the market for Softlocker. I use it on my Scroll 7 resistive running CM7 and it does the trick perfectly :-)

in settings /display / screen timeout you can change the time from 30 seconds up to 30 minutes set it to the maximum 30 minutes and it will stay on if you havent touched the device for half an hour it will turn off

my settings are
Display-- screen timeout 10 mins
cyanogenMod settings--Lockscreen/Delay and timeout
screen timeout delay 30 mins
screen turned off delay immediately

with these settings i dont have any problems

Thanks a lot for the link Sterling, I'm on to it now. Thanks for your advice also Mitre I'll try that first. I managed to find a similar app to Softlocker called mylock which seems to working. I'm going to try all three and revert to give you my views. Is this a common problem with CM7 I wonder?

Mylock is working well so I'll leave it on for the moment.

Mine is also works well, sometimes the app will give the different favor in the function who need it.
