Touch to Turn on screen

[samson_420]

I have a XDA Neo and the battery life is not really the best, so I keep in standby (hit the side button so the back light and LCD is turned off). But the only way to get the LCD back on is to hit the power button. Is there a way to get the LCD to come back on along with the back light by just tapping the screen?

You can off just the screen rather than put the phone in standby mode. You can use psShutxp or other program (aplenty) to do it.

But this drain battery. Alternatively, unlock all you button so that you can power up your ppc by any hardware button press. That's what I do. To protect against accident power up, I install S2U2 so that a slide on the screen is required to unlock, else it will go back to sleep mode in x min.

How would I do that? What will it shut off?

I only have a Hermes and not familiar with your device but if it running Windows Mobile 6 then you probably can just turn off backlight but prevent phone from going into standby mode.

Start -> Setting -> Backlight

In there you can adjust the setting and timer for the backlight



Start -> Setting -> Power

In there you can adjust the setting for standby or disable standby mode.



Disabling the standby but keeping the backlight on timer should turn off the backlight but the LCD screen will stil be active and will wake on the touch.

One negtive thing about touch screen LCD that is putting it in your pocket may keep repeatly turning the backlight back on and drain your battery quickly without you being aware of it.

I do have a option to turn off the back light only and not put the phone into standby. But my LCD stays on(without the light) which sucks down the battery life.

I tried out sShutxp, but it only turns off the phone and has no option to turn it back on.

Well, I got the next best thing. I assigned the #1 button to Display Switch. So it turns the display on and off.
