Earlier today, I was helping my brother set up his new Motorola Defy. While the phone itself was quite nice (and tough), the screen kept turning off after just a few seconds of idle time. It was starting to drive us crazy, but after quickly poking through the settings we fixed it. Here's how:
1) Go to Settings > Display
2) Tap Screen timeout
3) Tap the timeout value you wish to use
Of course there's a trade-off between convenience and battery life - having the screen time out after two whole minutes can be nice, but your battery may not last very long. And while you're here, you can also easily adjust your display's brightness.
This tip wraps up this week's Tips series. What would you like to see next week? Let me know in the comments!
