When in the car, I would like my screen to stay on when charging.
I found a way to do this by going to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay Awake
However the screen may stay on, but it still dims after X minutes (depending on the Time-out settings) so i cant see a thing on my phone during daytime.
I can ofcourse set the time-out to 30 minutes, but i dont want my screen to stay on full brightness for 30 mins when its NOT charging!
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks!
Setting profiles mate. You can set different profiles for when it is charging, including keeping the screen on, and when you unplug it, it goes back to normal. I've been using it for quite a while and it works spot on
Cheers

Sorry I'm a bit of a Droid newb. On my old 6,5 winmo there was a slider for brightness on battery and brightness on charge.
Is this profile setting stashed within the settings somewhere or is it an app?
Thanks for your help
Another way of doing this is to activate car dock mode when you're in the car. There are some apps that allow you to manually activate various dock modes, and I think when in car dock mode the screen stays on all the time at full brightness.
The app I used is called 'dock simulator' or something like that on the market, and it's free.
Sweet thanks. Any idea how to lose the logo?
Open settings, applications, development, and tick always on when charging, nice and easy

Yea but as already said in post 1 the screen dims.
found a problem with the dock app where it puts calls out on the loudspeaker, and you get the icon.... damn!
you can always download power manager from the market and set to never dim/timeout
Yes but then it eats the battery

Ok seriously what's wrong with you you've started a thread cos ur screen dims, get use to it! Of course if you keep your screen on your battery will die quick you can't have everything
I agree this is annoying, when you have the phone plugged into the charger it would be great if the screen didn't dim, happens sometimes when I'm reading ebooks on my phone, don't want to change the dim settings as I want the screen timeout to kick in when not plugged into the charger.
Is there any app that wont let the cpu go to sleep when the screen is turned off and wifi is running with file transfer? cuz no matter which program i try. Transfer speed always slows down to 40% once monitor off. I think the cpu is downclocked.

Sorry I thought this was a forum to help people over come issues. looks like you may be in the right place.
1. I never started the thread
2. the initial thread was started by some who has the same problem as me. This means I am not the only one with the problem and maybe it's worth solving
3. The thread was started because on power, in the car the screen dims and I want it bright as I can't see it in the sun. I want an app or a setting so when the device detects its on power it does not dim the screen.

I know this is possible because dock simulator does this but has unwanted side effects ( phone on loudspeaker ) I know I could just fix the brightness on every visit to the car but this is a pain in the ass and I will forget to disable it and flatten my battery.
I could do this on win mo 6.5 and android is a much more flexible operating system.
Sorry if this post covered old ground but I found your last post rather provoking and I would prefer if you directed similar posts, elsewhere.
Thanks to everyone else who has guided in the right direction so far..
I have the same problem and when I asked before I got the same (none) answers.
It is one of the very few flaws I have with Android.
On WiMo I could leave the browser with the traffic site active and VISIBLE in my car charger and I could hit refresh now with android I have to touch the screen to activate the backlight and then refresh the site if I want an update.
I too just want the backlight to stay on ONLY when the phone is on external power, it can't be that hard and it shouldn't involve installing elaborate programs that consume more of the little precious memory I have left (until FroYo ...)
try an app called 'Caffine' from the marketplace its free and does the job perfectly
Thanks I'll give it a try.
Hello all,
I have a strange issue with the notification LED. I read a lot of thread and I didn't found any similar. As soon as I start my phone, the notification LED comes green. The LED becomes orange as usual (battery charging or low battery) but never turn off until I turn off the phone.
Any idea ?
Thank you

Hi all.
I just upgraded to Android 4.2, testing the daydream clock when is in charge I realized that the clock is displayed in the last screen orientation before going to standby.
Let me explain, I have a self-built dock that holds my smartphone horizontally, with the phone locked I insert it in the dock, after a few seconds the display will light up the screen to unlock page that is always vertical, after a few more seconds display turn off and activate the daydream but the clock is in portrait orientation and then especially is analog becomes difficult to read the time!
However, if I insert it in the dock while is active an app that uses landscape orientation when it goes into daydream mode, the orientation is correct. Do you have any idea to solve or I keep it so until the next upgrade?

I'm sorry to ask something so seemingly simple, but I've scoured the settings in my phone, as well as checking solutions like tasker, and have yet to find a solution, and searching for similar threads.
Prior to going into a lock/sleep mode, the phone's screen dims for a few seconds. If the phone is set to stay awake while powered by AC/USB, the screen will still dim, but not lock. How do I go about completely disabling the dimming function, as this is troublesome when using the phone in the car?
One of the aokp ROMs allowed for adjusting the time of dimming such as 15/30/45 but did not disable it.
Also in developer options on custom ROMs you can enable stay awake so the screen never turns off while charging.
Otherwise I saw from internet searches there are apps on the play store that will prevent screen turning off and possibly dimming as well.
****edit***-i read a bit more closely. Sorry, looks like you may need an app. If a dev is willing the option is controlled from android source and can be modified using a toggle to turn it off. Good luck!

When I'm placing the phone near my ear after connecting the call...the screen is still switched on!! Which is very irritating and after finishing the call when I'm trying to access the touch screen it's not waking until I press the power key!! And the call duration is functioning only upto a certain time (2-3mins) after that it's getting stagnated?? Anyone got a solution to it?? Thanks in advance.
