I have an external power bank for my phone but looking to tweak it of possible.
I am doing some GPS logging and need the phone to stay active for a few days.
The power bank can keep it going but it has a ridiculous auto off feature. Basically after charging the phone the power bank turns off and you need to hit the button to start it again. While possible during my application ... it is not convenient.
Anyone know of a way to turn this feature off or a way to get an app like tasker to auto initiate the charge since it connected via USB?

I'm looking for an app that could be programmed to cycle on and off the DINC's power cord.
I'd like to be able to leave my DINC plugged in, but have the app switch between battery power and charge mode at intervals.
For example, it could be set to charge for 60 minutes, then "trick" the phone into thinking the power cord isn't plugged in for 15 minutes (forcing battery power and not taking any power from the cord), then repeat this cycle. I'd like for these times to be user changeable.
Does anything like this exist? Would it even be possible?
Thanks for any advice
...
I asked one of the developers of an app, and they said that the ability to turn power off requires root, and they were not sure they wanted to redevelop their app to include rooted functions.
Does anybody else use Power Saving Mode?
If so, do you "Turn off sync" (option when power saving mode is enabled)?
Well, here's the bug. If power saving mode turns on (as in, the battery goes below a certain %), sync will turn off (auto-sync to be exact, which can be found in Accounts & settings) which is fine.
But, let's say I plug in my phone, and my battery goes above that certain %, in the morning, I won't get my emails, or anything, because Power saving mode turned off Auto-sync like I told it to, but it doesn't turn it back on like it should. And it will stay off until you remember your phone activated Power saving mode last night (I gotta say, this isn't the first time it happens to me!).
Just throwing this out there, I've only noticed problems with Auto-sync.
Does this happen to anybody else?
Yep. Happens to me too.

this has been a bug since release, it sucks because I would use power saving mode otherwise.
Same. I used it at first, thought it was a great idea. But i never use it now just sure to this oversight.
Still there in EL29, I noticed this yesterday when I was thinking WTF my screen is really dim and no email today.
Yea. Unfortunately the power saving mode sucks on Samsung phones. I stopped using it just because of that lol

I use my nexus mounted in my car and always connected to the car charger. Is there a way or app that will automatically switch the phone on off like airplane mode and standby mode when the power to the charger/car is on? I am looking for a way to do this without having to manually power the phone on/off and keeping the battery from going dead while not in use.

Tasker can do that I believe.

NFC tag! Or tasker context (orientation + USB power), but you might accidentally trigger it when you don't want to.
Hi.
Do you guys thing it would be possible to build some sort of button/switch plugable to the phone via USB or headphones jack so I can turn screen ON/OFF?
I am cycling and using phone as my GPS/mapping device. Phone is in the waterproof mount on my handlebar, and turning screen on while on the move through that case + having gloves on my hands is impossible. I am struggling even at full stop. I tried riding with screen always on but battery died after 1-2 hours, plus I don't need it to be on all the time.
So perfect solution would be some sort of switch mounted close to handlebars, somehow plugged to the phone, allowing me to control screen with it?
Do you think it is possible? Any ideas?
Thanks
Tasker profile?

Yes! Great. Now, physical button....
How to plug it in? what pins etc?
Not exactly an external switch but have you looked at pgm nexus, from playstore, may give you a slightly more convenient way to lock and also wake screen than using power button.

Everytime im done with my Ouya, I go to the main screen press Y and choose "turn off ouya". I know that the ouya shuts down because the input on my tv goes blank and says that no source have been found. Now when I try to turn on my ouya,lets say about 1.5 hours later my ouya is already turned on and is asking me to shut down.
Why is this happening to me? Am I not shutting down correctly?why does the ouya turn itself on?

Wish I could answer, but at least I'm glad to know I'm not the only one running into this issue. I'll do the exact same thing to shut down, and notice my TV's input still shows active, I'll switch back, and it's asking to shut down Ouya / Controller / Cancel. I'll do the shutdown again, and then wait for it to show No Signal on my monitor. I hope this will be also be addressed by a future update...
When you shut off with the menu options ouya is actually going to a low power sleep mode instead of turning off - similar to a android tablet or phone when you just push the power button or close a case cover, the next time you push it it is an instant on instead of a boot process.
Apparently it failing to stay asleep has something to do with the HDMI interface, though I can't technically confirm or deny this I do know it's entirely possible.
The only way I've found to actually shut it off is to either hold the power button for a few seconds until it shuts off, or pull the power plug (not recommended.)
Or root, install QuickReboot and shutdown with it...

I am facing the same issue. I did changed the HDMI cable with some other one. this is weird:cyclops:

This actually works. Thank you.
Hdmi activity wakes up OUYA, many TV's scan inputs so they don't list them in "source" menu and this turns OUYA back on. A poorly thought out feature.
Rather than doing a hard shut down, you can do a full shut down by holding the power button for a full second or two. You will then get an on screen prompt to confirm shut down, this will do a full shut down not just put it to sleep like it does when you use the controller to initiate it. Constantly killing power to a running system will probably start corrupting files at some point.
There is also some sort of sleep or screen or keep awake option in advanced settings that is supposed to disable the hdmi wake up.
