The sleeplessness of the display is a big problem for me. If I forget to turn off the screen manually, the battery would drain quickly and the phone can't not last the whole day.

Anyone can help?
Try this the next time you icons on desktop stop responding.It usually happens when hildon-home stops responding to touch.

Code:
#NOTE: Killing the hildon-home process can erase all widgets and that is why it is disabled
#killall hildon-home
You might try experimenting with following command (ran as user, not root):

Code:
/usr/sbin/dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home && /usr/sbin/dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home
This is "clean" way of restarting hildon-home (could be also used for other system processes, not sure) and will keep widgets in place.
