change the backlight setting in display settings. cant change fading tho

I seem to have this problem too, if I set it to five seconds, it still seem to stay on for at least about thirty.
Another maybe bigger problem is that it seems to switch on every now and then.
One night I was sitting on the sofa with my laptop, phone laying next to me, and no lights on, except the light from my laptopscreen.
Every few minutes the phone switched on the backlight, and the button lights, for about one minute, and then go of again.
Because it was dark it drew my atention, but what if it does this all day....?
Its in my pocket all day, and what are the ods you take it out excactly when it's switched on...?
That drasticly drains your battery, and I charge it every night, with medium use...

anyone else have this problem....?

Yea im on orange and randomly i get my phones light coming on and with like a funny screen saver. Happens like every 20 mins or something!!

subzero, you can turn off the orange screensaver by going into themes then select edit on the one you're currently using and change the power saver to date/time

saves you quite a bit of battery anyway
