how to stop the screen from turning on automatically, plus other small stuff

[creedo]

I'm wondering too. My phone is in an area that's right between EVDO and 1x internet. Every time the wind blows it switches, and every time it switches my display turns on. It also turns on if I plug it into the computer and then turn it off... it comes right back on at least once more. It also turns on for no reason at all in my pocket even when I know I didn't press any buttons.

One thing is, if it turns off the backlight automatically after X minutes it seems more likely to stay turned off. If I ignore it for 10 minutes and it's not charging, and the display goes off automatically, it will stay off all night.
