    They should turn off by default. Make sure you don't have any scripts that turn off fullscreen mode. Either by calling Screen.fullScreen = false. Or a call to Screen.SetResolution().

    I found it.

    this instruction :

    Screen.sleepTimeout = SleepTimeout.NeverSleep;

    not only keeps the lit screen, but also the lights of device buttons...

    :-( Must be a side effect of obtaining a wake-lock. Do you mind filing a bug report? I'd like to create a workaround if possible.

    I also submitted a bug report regarding this issue in August 2014, but it was dismissed as expected behaviour, so I had to fix it myself. The case number for that bug report is:

    Case 627232

    I fixed it by not using NeverSleep (which uses WAKE_LOCK) but instead created an Android plugin that calls the following:

    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

    Is this fixed on *any* version? I stumbled upon it on 4.6.9p2.
