This worked for me.

I am curious as to what causes this to happen (low-power screen/display no longer blanks out when the sensor is covered). Strange. By the way I only experience this whenever I have NITDroid (Alpha 3) installed. Could that be causing it?

In the link you provided, one of them said that:

There is another approach in the same thread where the recommendation is to do:

Try:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply 
--dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request 
com.nokia.mce.req_display_blanking_pause

instead (every 30s should be enough).

One of them responded, saying that:

And that'll change the user setting, which might not be a good idea from
an application developer pov.

What are your thoughts on this?
