Why Dim Screen When Docked?

[jetjock]

Both with the default ATT ROM as well as with the TILT AKU.0.7.0 ROM my phone will not turn the screen off when docked.

I have the backlight and power settings adjusted to allow the phone to turn off the screen after 1 minute and turn off after 5 minutes.

When docked, instead of going dark and powering off per my settings, the screen drops to about a 20-30% brightness level and the phone never turns off.

I supsect some app may be keeping the phone awake, but disabling my plugins did not make a difference.

Anyone else experience this behavior?

I have an unlocked TyTN II, with stock HTC ROM, and thats how it's always been out of the box.

Maybe I'm just used to how my old Hermes behaved.

I noticed this too. Now if someone knew how this could be deactivated so the screen was completely off, that would be nice.

The Kaiser's screen, unlike Hermes, is not transreflective and if the backlight is off, the display is completely blank. HTC elected to have the display stay ON at a minimal brightness when the timer runs out.

At first I wasn't happy but at night, navigating, I like the fact that it auto-dims while attached to a charge cord.
