How to keep screen LEDs turned off

Hello Together,

I just got my Kobo Glo and installed Android on it. Thank's to everyone here for making this possible it's great!

At the moment I only have a (minor) question: From Embryo's initial post, I got the instructions on how to shut down the backlight:

You can use Script Manager. Instructions here, or here.

What to say? It does work well, but the screen LEDs don't remain switched off. After "waking up" the Kobo they are back on - and I have to run the script again to turn them off.
Is it my mistake, or ist this a general problem?
