app for display control

Does anyone know of an app that can activate and deactivate the screen when it the charger is plugged in. I know the Nexus 7 already wakes when you plug the charger in, but i would like to be able to have the screen turn off when the charger is unplugged. I am mounting the tablet in my vehicle in such a way that the power button is inaccessible and the tablet is going to live in the car. I am hoping this is possible with an app because if it is not, my other course of action is much more complicated. Any help you guys can give would be much appreciated.

Google Now weather dissapeared

For over a week now I have not seen the Google now weather card or the notification. Tried resetting Google now and also restored a backup and it's still the same.
I'm currently running 4.2.1. Anyone else having this issue?

I had this happen too. Try in Google Now --> menu --> refresh.

Tried that already and tried turning google now off and on again but still not working.

Same here. Driving me crazy. Have tried hard resetting the phone to no avail. All settings are as they should be as far as I can tell.

I've given up on having it permanently placed on the notification drop down. It's a now you see me, now you don't game for them and us. If it's not there, I just swipe up to see the weather

Open Google now, click the three dots on weather card, click settings, under notifications it is probably set to off. Clock and change to low priority. Should be back

My settings are exactly the same as yours and still no weather card.

Weather card is back now so I think it was a google problem.

Stock Screen stays on

My wife's stock NOte II screen Time setting is 10 seconds.
It comes on when notifications go off, and never goes off, unless we manually turn it off.
Any thoughts?

This continues to be a problem.
In fact, it happens at night while on the charger, and the screen staying on prevents the phone from achieving a full charge.
Nobody has any thoughts?

Maybe the face rwgonition sensor that keeps the phone awake when you're looking at it is faulty.

Try turning off smart stay and see it fixes the issue.

Thanks for the thoughts.
Smart stay is off, so that likely is not hte issue.
There are 2 problems as I see it: First, the fact that it always turns on when anything happens, such as mail receipt, text msg, notifications. Then it never goes off.

If all else fails there is a mod in the themes and apps section to disable screen wake lock....so if you get any notifications it will not wake your screen I cant give u the link im out

Turn off motion detection, this always happened to me at night while charging.
Haven't had the problem ever since.

Thanks.
Upon checking it out, it works with the stock messaging app. We use Google Voice, so probably won't work.
I have turned off motion, and I think it has improved. Although I think it turns on when fully charged (notification of full charge I suppose), and stays on.
The fact that it stays on is the real problem. I don't understand why the 15 second setting doesn't let it turn off.
Hmmmm....I just thought of something else: I may haave Screeble installed. I'll have to check on that and see if there are strange settings or something.

I know what it is.... go into developer options and look for an option that says "screen on while pluged in" turn it off

good find...

Theres an option in there to keep screen awake while charging and that may have been turned on? If not turn off try turning off the dev options just to make sure thats not the problem.

Annoying

Recently I've flashed a couple roms and my phone started doing this thing where it reads (outloud) the number and the text that I recieve.
It's quite annoying, I've been through all the settings and can't find anything pertaining to it.
Can anyone help me with this?

Sms popup doesn't read aloud. Check svoice settings I forget what its called but theres a audio option in there that reads whats on the screen. I think its called voice mode or audible mode or something buried in the svoice settings

just to be clear, you mentioned that this is happening across several ROM flashes...
are you TB'ing apps back w/ data? or does this actually happen on a clean flash?

All else fails, nandroid and add apps one by one. What ROM(s) are you flashing?

Any chance this is a feature that got turned on in Google voice?

This is happening over a clean, factory reset rom.
But usually yes I use Titanium.

It has to be a feature in touchwiz. I work for sprint and one of our display note 2's is doing the same thing. We can't figure it out either.

Maybe so. I usually stick with AOSP. Never had an experience like that. I'm not touting one over the other. Just curious what sammy feature would do that. I'll see what I can dig up later.

Yup it does.
As I said earlier I couldn't get the task to work right.
You'll select plugin > secure settings > edit
Than it'll open secure settings.
Select wake device, select time and hit save at the bottom.
In theory by plugging in the headset the screen should wake.
As I also said, having it open a music player (which I assume is what you'd be using it for) would wake the screen also.
