Question about charging the X

I plug the phone in at night to charge but the screen remains lit the entire time while it is charging.

Is this normal?

It seems like it would shorten the lifespan of the screen and the phone by being lit continually and generating heat from being lit.

???

Thanks,

Peter

It is just a setting. Go to settings, applications, then to developement. Uncheck the stay awake box. (no idea why its hidden here)

Hmm...mine times out and turns off after a minute or so, even when connected to the charger.

You can, however, turn off the screen by pressing the unlock button at the top of the phone.

I have been charging the phone by first turning off the power, and then connecting the charger. Seems to work just fine.

Isn't there a "stay awake" option you can uncheck in the phone? i sometimes turn my phone off to charge it and sometimes leave it on while it is charging

This also happens if you select Performance Mode in Settings/Battery Manager/Battery Profile, try Smart Mode or Battery Saver Mode, but keep in mind that battery saver mode sometimes even turns device off while using navigation.
