Is there a way to stop the desk clock automatically opening when the Desire is connected to a power source? It's really bugging me.
Only started since updating to one of the more recent Leedroid ROMs. I've been through all the menus and spare parts and can't see a way to stop this.
The answer may be staring me in the face.
Thanks.
When you say power source do you mean a charger or docking station? I am using one of the standard roms and don't have this problem on my desire.

Yeah I get this on 2.1a, each new version I get I think is going to fix it but never does! Also sometimes the home key gets pressed so it zooms out to show all homescreens.
To clarify, when plugging in USB I get clock and when unplugging I get homescreen view.
You've checked settings, of course?

Can't you do something with the lock screen(s) - swipe/pattern etc?

Any news about this problem?
Anyone have a ide how to solve this problem? Please post.. maby a app or something that helps?
A piece of duct tape is your friend
my trackpad has a mind of its on. it really p's me off. I would like to disable mine too. anyone please help.
I've also discovered some annoying behavior of my trackpad. When i'm typing a text with the phone tilted about 90 degrees, the cursor sometimes jumps up or another direction. And when my phone is laying on my desk @ work and it starts scrolling through my home screens when the sun is shining on my desk.
I Hardly use the trackpad, so disabling would be a solution.
i have noticed that since i have installed my new rom (skyraider 4.2) and kernel (incredikernel) that i haven't had this odd behavior. Dunno if this is what did it or what.
same here; it is too responsive somewhere/sometimes especially when I use this xda app, holding the phone in left hand and trying to press back button with my left hand thumb, it switches to next or previous tab because of optical track sensor reacts first. However it is not that responsive when I need it; especially where I want to move cursor forth or back within a text. As from the day 1, annoying...

Have you thought about opening your phone and plugging it out? Yasir did that with his stuck trackpad.

Yeah.....it worked out ok for me...... I took out the connector cable, wrapped sticky tape around so it won't touch anything......be careful while dismantling the parts, took me an hour to pack all up even with instruction video.....
Search "desire disassembly video"
And "desire assembly video"
Get the required screw drivers and you're good to go....

Hi Guys
I have just got the desktop dock and am pretty pleased with it. My headphones seem to work pretty well with it (with no amp) which surprised me and I like the rotated home screen.
All is good except for that fact that it locks whenever the phone is put in. You get the clock dock view and then have to unlock it to get to anything else.
On my Nexus One with the dock I am pretty sure you were able to configure what happened when you put it in the dock but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
It's pretty annoying. Is there any way round it?
Thanks
there is an app called screebl you could try. its a orientation based app that will keep your screen on unless you have it straight up or lying flat. The orientation is adjustable. Check it out.

Install app called Dock Nothingness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geekherd.docknothingness) that will prevent the desk clock from coming up.
But the screen will still timeout and lock based on your security settings, always has (even with Nexus One).
Did someone manage to switch off car dock mode when placing the HTC One X into the original D110 carholder? One of the pins of the micro USB cable is used to detect the phone is in a dock, so the option in the settings menu has no influence on this auto switching.
It's driving me crazy, I don't like car dock mode, and I want to mount my phone vertical instead of horizontal. It now takes two taps on the screen to switch it off everytime I put the phone in my car (yeah yeah I'm lazy and spoiled, I know)
Just install another car dock and it will give you to option, that's the easy way

Nope, that doesn't work for me, I still end up using one of both car dock apps.
But I did look a little further this time, thought about uninstalling HCT Car app and while on my way to do this, I found a button "disable" under settings/apps/all apps/HCT Car ! That did the trick. :good:
I still see the car icon popping up in the top lefthand corner of the display, but that's it.
Has anyone found a third party (or oem) desktop cradle that will automatically put the phone into dock mode? I have read some other forums that mention ways to mod usb cords or other docks with certain resistors between pins 4 & 5 on connector to initiate either car mode or home dock mode based on the resistance. Does anyone know if the same resistance values for other HTC phones apply to vzw HTC one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just use an nfc tag. Then you can use any dock and still have the same result. Much easier and cheaper

Thanks for the tip! I have seen some posts about using ufc tags. Do I attach the nfc tag to the back of the dock? Do I need a special app to initiate the proper mode/settings upon contact? I had a galaxy nexus and the pogo pin dock prior to this and really liked just setting it in the dock and having it go into bedside mode.
I don't think there is a desktop dock mode in sense 5. If there is I haven't found it. I just bought a cheapy desktop charger and downloaded dock clock plus, then adusted the settings for it to start whenever connected to power seeing as i usually only charge my phone on the nightstand at night.

you will need an app to program the tag. I used NFC task launcher in the past.
I have one on my desk at work. It turns everything off an puts my phone in airplane mode. When I leave I tap it again and it goes into normal mode.
NFC tag would be easiest way to do this. Tasker might be able to do this also.
Thanks everyone for the ideas. When I said bedside mode I was thinking of the daydream mode built in to android 4.2. I am aware that I can set it to turn on when charging as well but sometimes I charge elsewhere and do not want it to go into daydream... Picky I know. My habit of bedside mode actually started way back in my blackberry days. Thanks again for your help and ideas.

Just hit the power button to turn off the screen, when you charge, where you don't want it.
What really annoys me, is that Android does seem to be able to fully turn of back lighting, while still having the LCD active like I could on my Symbian and Sony feature phones. it didn't suck much battery and I could always see the time etc., at night a touch of e.g. The volume key would shortly turn on backlight.

I think that's what daydream does, try looking into Lux

No, Lux cannot completely turn off backlight last time I had it installed (actually bought it). (This is not what op was looking for and I don't want to highjac his thread, so let's stop here.)
I'd just like to be able to turn off the 'dock mode' as it is not something I want when I put the phone in the dock.
Unable to 'Disable'
Tried "Dock No Op"...no luck
Tried "DockNothing" ...no luck
Freaking locked down crap!
You need to get some NFC tags.
Amazon.com: NFC Tags with 1k Chip 10 Pack + Keychain + Free Bonus Tag - Android Writeable & Programmable - Adhesive Sticker Back - Samsung Galaxy S3 Note 2 - HTC One First One X Droid DNA - Sony Xperia - Lg Optimus G - Smart Tags - Best Money-Back Guarantee!
I am a long time user of Daydream mode, now renamed to Screen Saver, on my phones with a USB charging desk dock. It is very useful as a desk clock.
Prior to Oreo the screen would wake up when a phone call comes in. Now it turns the screen off and I can't see who is calling before answering unless I take it off the dock and tap the power button.
I have had to tweak some stay awake and power options for other apps to work the way I want them to, but haven't found anything to fix this yet. I have tried the stock Clock app as well as a few from the Play Store, but no difference. Has anyone figured this out or is it a bug in Oreo?
Bumping this up in hopes that someone has figured this out. With Tasker, I have been able to wake my phone up to the lock screen, but not the incoming call screen, so I still can't see who's calling. I'll post this in the Tasker section as well, in case someone there has a fix.
