Coming from an old WinMo device there was an option that allowed you to keep the screen on when the device was charging.
Is there a similar option for the Desire i have missed or an app that could do that for me
I realise i could set the screen to never turn off but this would apply to when charging and not charging
Thanks
There's an option for this in settings > applications > development, this goes for all android handsets i've seen.
Perfect!!!
Thanks for the speedy response

Is there a mod/app for this? When using navigation the screen dims after 2 min which is ideal when not charging buta pain when on charge in the car

I use Caffeine. You need to load it if you reboot the phone, but once it's running it works perfectly.
Maybe not exactly what you need, but "Keepscreen" can disable screen time out for programs (like your navigation software) seperately.

There's a setting in Settings > Applications > Development to have the screen stay on while charging. Have you tried that?

that feature is so the screen doesn't sleep which is different to screen timeout
i.e the brightness level dims
caffiene works great btw altho it doesn't run at boot even tho there is a check box for it
no big shakes
Hey guys,
I want my Nexus to wake up when I shake it. I have secure settings and other things with it work well, but I can't turn on the phone. I tried many different things... any tips welcome.
Go to Menu > Settings > Monitor > Display Off Monitoring > Select 'Yes' (or whatever is opposite to what you have on currently)
where? settings of tasker? secure setting (I don't see settings for it)? my phone? trying to find it..
ok so you mean in tasker... I have a bunch of options under display off monitoring. which one am I changing?

ah ha!
ok so I asked you two questions but I figured it out. it's the accelerator, which is what is checking to see if I'm shaking the scree. the option I had was set to "only when powered on" and I changed it to yes, so now the phone can checks for it with screen off.. now just to make sure it's not TOO sensitive so it doesn't just turn on in my pocket..

Yep, this could also be a bad idea in terms of battery, if you run the task the accelerometer is polling 24/7 (well at least when the phone is on) so it could lead to battery levels diminishing fairly quickly I'm pretty sure.

It's also not working 100%... hm. but mostly.
Got any ideas about how to activate the phone without the power button? something that would save battery?
Anyone aware of anyway either via root or 3rd party app on how to change the strength of a notification vibration?
Coming from a pebble which literally shook your wrist when it vibrated, the vibration on the SW3 just seems so weak!
Looking at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/orig-development/rom-graphene-rom-preview-t2888758
he changes some sysfs values:
Code:
# increase vibration intensity
echo 50 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/amp
echo 115 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/driving_ms
I don't have my SW3 yet so can't try myself. Maybe root is required.
I agree completely! This thing is dead compared to the pebble! Would I run those commands from ADB? Would I just put the value I want on the end?

the number just behind echo is the value.
Note: changes you do this way don't survive a reboot.
Aww but thank you!
not what you ask for but.....
I went to settings > about > enabled developer options > dev options .> pressed on manufacture menu-launcher >Vibrator > enter duration> changed to 500 ms
I tested and it vibrated longer than usual but the settings didn't stick.
anyone?

Those settings are only to test if sensors are working. They are not normal settings and will not stick...

Im also interested !!!
I'd like a solution as well.
This would be great.
Take it there is no solution as yet, totally agree vibrate is so weak it's almost useless.
Light flow added vibration control.

Thank you [emoji106]
You can also use "Vibration Notifier" it can add vibe for strenght you would and repeat one or more time 2s after the first original vibe.
+1 Light flow for me is the solution. Anyway, compared to the moto 360 this watch is an hammer drill!

this is dead already but i didnt like lightflow too much so ive been using "Feel the Wear" app for couple weeks now, and it works fine! made just for this ! so if you dont wanna bother paying or messing with your notifications and led, try this out ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sk.martinflorek.wear.feelthewear&hl=en
Thanks!
old thread i can see, however i stumbled across it searching for the same thing, for me lightflow and feel the wear was not for me as you have to pay for both and are filled with too many extras that i dont actually want.
i found this one - free/easy to use and does the trick fine to change the vibration length which makes me feel the vibration and not miss notifications

Am I just so used to Moto phones that I didn't realize that screens down light up when picked up? Laying in bed reaching over to turn my phone to me I have to push the power button? Am I missing a setting? I'm so used to it lighting up to show me time and notifications just tilting it.
sadly, this phone doesnt have this feature

Nope it's not one of the three options there. I found a app called Gravity Screen and once you select the right options it works pretty great. Took me a second to figure out how to get it not to block unlocking with my finger. Not great I need a secondary app but at least it feels right again.

Turn on ambient display: A feature of Android Wear and Motorola devices, it's now on Android Nougat by default. Head into Settings > Display and you'll be able to glance at monochrome notifications.
Seems they have also changed how this works, so your current solution may be better.
Apparently it (ambient display) now only illuminates the screen when a notification comes in, not again when you lift.
Can't believe this phone does not come with such a simple yet very convenient feature

I miss it as well, but I guess the Pixels should be getting a tap to wake update soon, that will help some.
Whoa, if so that's amazing. How sure are we? What's the source?
I think I have enabled this feature in the settings but the screen still goes black after a few seconds. Please advise.
Display>Advanced>Ambient Display
Yes, i enabled it there
since we are on the subject of displays, how do you get the pics to stop scrolling on the always on display when you are charging from the pixel stand?
I don't know if restarting my phone or the screen protector was interfering with the sensor but I removed it and it seems to work now.
is there no way to add an image to the ambient display or any other customization?
settings have a search function just type anything in there that you may want to change or generic phrase to narrow it down like screen will give you all the screen options only.
