I have to babysit my little price while everyone else is gone. To keep me entertain, I always connect Samsung Galaxy S4 to TV through MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter. Watch TV series, music video, movie and anime then. However, it consume some battery life while leave the screen on even with lowest brightness. Luckily, there is a free Android application that can help. Yes, Screen Standby is the one. It can turn off Galaxy S4 screen without putting it to sleep. Therefore, applications like YouTube, PPS TV can continue to play without screen on. Work on games too. It helps to save battery life and avoid it from overheating too. Isn’t that great? Okay, here is the catch. It requires root access.

Screen Off for Windows Mobile
XDA member, virgilp wrote a useful Windows Mobile application ~ Screen Off. This application simply turns off the screen on the device, without putting it to sleep. He uses it to save battery when connect to his phone to the PC to sync or to copy large amount of data. Isn’t that useful for battery eater HTC HD2?
Note – Some programs, usually media players, use a backlight keep-alive feature. Be sure to turn off this feature in order for the Screen Off application to work.
