Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum.
Im guessing by screensaver you mean screen turns off/dims?
Which ROM are you using and what screensaver app are you running?

yes i mean the dim/ blank screen
not sure about the rom but the phone is box standard no other apps have been put on it apart from this work application
screen is normally on, dims after few seconds manbe 1 minute, then goes blank (or like a sleep mode) however this sleep mode is where the problems start
thanks guys any help will be appreciated.

huh?? this thread doesnt say "htc touch hd" ?
how bout you provide a VALUABLE reply instead of this nonsense.
anyone got any update on this? i believe tomtom stops working also when this screen saver kicks in please help me out
as it is draining my battery life
How do your messages come through? Are they via sms? If so you can use an app called HD Tweak to wake device on new message. As for TT, perhaos invest in a car charger and then you don't have to worry about the battery.

I know this is not much of a solution but if you go to settings tab -- all settings (bottom left corner) and then in the middle tab (cant remember the name) --- power.
in here, go to the 3rd (last tab) and there you can disable the screen dimming and and sleep mode (first 2 options) by unchecking them
I am also using TomTom in the car at the moment and yes it does drain the battery...i think that asides from getting a car charger (they're cheap - just look for a in-car USB charger and use your USB cable), the best alternative is to let the screen dim, but NOT switch off. So let your screen turn off its backlight, and that should extend your battery life considerably.
Also, maybe try some of the solutions listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483034
(i got that from a forum-wide search)
Good luck
ok guys bit more info
not worried about tomtom working whilst screen off that was just a example i gave, however my chaeffer work software does not ring/alert me when the screen is locked
now the software works via gprs and log's into my office server when they get the booking it gets logged into there system and routinly passed down to the drivers
i have a car charger but the problem is i am not in the car all the time, or near a mains supply only go to the car when booking come through
now is this a programming issue by the company i work for? if so, what could be done to correct this?
i am looking at some after market apps play around with them and see how i get on.
thanks you for all your help so far
Anyone know if there's a setting somewhere to keep the screen on when Xoom is in the standard dock? I don't see anything anywhere.

Its easy enough to set the display to remain on while docked and CHARGING. See above post.
If you want it to remain on whether you are charging or not, it would probably be easiest to just create a widget using Extended Controls that you could toggle with ease.
screeble (If it works on honeycomb) allows you to keep the screen on or off based on the angle.
All great suggestions, thanks guys!

I'm surprised there is no auto launch for the clock app when docked. My N1 has this and its great. I've used it as my alarm clock since I got it.

I'm having trouble with this when developing apps using my Xoom while only connected via the micro usb port. The screen shuts off after my allotted window. Now, when charging, the screen does stay on. Still, kinda a pain.

thats interesting, android must be using its charging status as a way of identifying if its connected or not and thus ignoring the usb connection since it does not believe itself to be charging. obviously you can just put a toggle on there to leave screen always on manually (with something like power widget) but good to know.
Can this be done?
Can you explain a bit more? The screen remains off until you turn it on.
I noticed this too. Unplug your phone and the screen turns on. Never happened on my previous android phones.

Yep, this is what I'm talking about.
I did the Touchstone mod, and while at work I always grab my phone and go right into my pocket. I'd like to keep the screen off so I don't hit anything on the screen.

Hmmm, this happens on EVERY phone or tablet I've used... Even my iOS devices do this. Same when plugging in... The screen will turn on.
I've wondered this myself. I'll attempt to make a tasker profile that shuts off the screen after a delay of a second or so after it detects being unplugged from the charger. I'll post if I have any luck with it.
I had a D2G and it would turn the screen on when plugged in, but not when unplugged.
I've created some tasker profiles that will turn the screen off after a three-second delay when plugged into (or unplugged from) USB or AC power. These rules are ignored when the phone has been unlocked and is currently in use.
I haven't tested them extensively so there could certainly be some bugs, but they've worked for me the past hour or so.
Just need a dev to do it.

Could we just do the edit ourselves using something like Root Explorer?
No. It is compiled into resource.asrc.
All someone has to do is change that line and recompile that individual package. Easy for anyone already setup to compile and is synced to the repo.
Btw ard is on top of things for posting that so quick. He prob has every line of code memorized!
I've compiled AOKP with

Sorry for waking up this thread from the dead, but I have 2 questions:
1) Could someone explain why if the current CM10 build I have on my GS3 (10-20121124-NIGHTLY-i9300) apparently has the value for config_unplugTurnsOnScreen set to false (according to the current github file: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/jellybean/core/res/res/values/config.xml), but still the screen turns on when unplugging from charge?
2) I actually also want this to happen when starting to charge (so that the screen keeps off when put to charge instead of turning on...), yet I didn't find a config_plugTurnsOnScreen configuration... Does anyone know where else (and if) this option could be found and tinkered with?
As a side note, I have modded my gs3 with the touchstone wireless charging trick and I put it on and off the touchstone charging base quite oftenly and would like to prevent it from turning on the screen each time I put it to charge or remove it from charging... maybe there's a general android option that handles wireless charging options so that the screen is not affected on those events? (something like these WebOS options intended for the original use of the touchstone on WebOS: http://www.webosnation.com/keep-screen-while-touchstone)
Thanks!

FYI, it didn't happen on the N1. It did at first, but it was fixed after one of the updates. I hoped that was a sign that someone figured out how dumb it is to automatically turn on the screen right before I put it in my pocket, but apparently it was just an accident
Hi,
Ive googled about this matter and cant seem to find a solution for the galaxy tab s lte but for other samsung devices since s3 is possible.
Ive also tried the Auto Power On app (paid apps) both of them didnt work and requested a refund.
It seems that we have to modify the file /system/bin/playlpm or /system/bin/lpm or /system/bin/ipod for this to work.
Ive tried everything and still doesnt work on the galaxy tab s lte.
What i need is for the tablet to boot upon connected to charger when the state is off. Now all i can see is the battery icon stating its charging but never boot into android.
Anyone have any idea how to make this work for the galaxy tab s lte?
Cheers.
Well it begs the question as to why in the world would anyone want this?
I wouldn't want my tab on every time I charge it.
I think you would need a custom rom, don't the apps you can download/buy, need your device to be already running so they can shutdown or run an app or change a mode when they detect you plugging in or removing the charger.

Why would anyone need this? Let me answer you.
Some of us use our android tablets in cars ... There's app to make the tablet shutdown when u turn off the engine and the power is disconnected (tons of them).
But when u start the engine back and the power is re-connected, the tablet wont turn on. Right now the only solution i can do is to use tasker to airplane mode on the device when the display is off, and airplane mode off when the display turns back on. This saves power so that the tablet doesnt run out of juice overnight in the car.
So most of this has to do with in-car tablet systems that you want it to boot up as you start your engine. I can custom rom my tablet to run CM12 however even CM12 doesnt boot up, some settings needs to be changed and im not sure which part so i need some help on this.
Cheers.

LOL thats a good one ....
Anyway back to serious matter ... Any one out here can help me with this problem? I think it would help a lot others too that are looking for a solution. a CM12 solution would be great also coz i can flash the tablet with CM12.
Thanks in advance.

C'mon. You and I both know that this is a niche scenario, and normally it's a bad idea. If your running low enough on battery to run you device dead, you want it to charge a while before turning on. We've all been waiting on a dead phone to get a few percentage points charged so that way it doesn't die immediately upon startup.
I've been leaving my Tab S on a constant power supply in the car. This means I have to turn it on and off manually. I have been toying with using Tasker to turn the screen on/off based on connection with a BT device that would be powered by an switched power source.
The problem I get is warning messages about trying to charge the battery while it is too hot or too cold.

Why dont u try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.as.powerchecker it will close the android once ur power is disconnected from the car ...
As for turning it back on when u start. Still no solution ...
Any help guys? Last time asking ...
Using Tasker and Secure Settings, I can get the tablet to turn the screen on and off when the power is connected. If rooted, you could turn Airplane Mode on and off in Tasker also. But short of a change in the firmware, I have no idea how to power off and restart based on external power connection.
From what I remember, when CM12 was still buggy... when you connect a charger when it was powered off, it would show the battery icon and automatically reboot into recovery. Of course that was a bug, so I don't really know.
-DUHA
Same here, did you find an answer?
Same here but no solution found
Iam trying to set my tablet to auto start/boot when charger is connected in mini usb port. I didnot find lpm.sh in root\system\bin folder to modify. But i found ilm file with below script. Plz tell how to modify to make powered off tablet to boot when charger is connected.
Script to start "pm" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/ime.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.ime.Ime "[email protected]"
You can instruct init to reboot the device whenever charger mode is detected. Create a new .rc file or edit any existing one:
# /system/etc/init/off_mode_charge.rc
on charger
setprop sys.powerctl reboot,leaving-off-mode-charging

Just got my H7x Saturday and am blowin away that a phone this nice can be had for under $200usd.
Anyways, Whenever I have the phone connected to the power-cord(charging) the screen won't turn off. I'll wait for the 60sec I have it set to, fade, the screen turns off, and then right back on immediately. Does the same when connected to USB on a windows computer. Charging only, file transfer etc. does it no matter the mode.
Any input with help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

This setting is normally defaulted to off, but check the development option "stay awake"
No, it's set to off. But good call.
It seems like the screen saver would make it do this too. I just noticed that everytime the screen comes on, it's a different picture. However, settings>display>screen saver is off.
Just figured it out.
Under settings>Apps and notif...>notification and status bar> I had 'notifications turn on screen' turned on. That's what was causing it. Strange...
Can anyone else test for this?

And, no need for other people to test for this, you fixed the problem.

I guess I could root and rom. I am just so impressed with the battery on the stock rom I was going to try and keep it as long as I can.
What ROM do you suggest?
And I didn't fix the issue. Just turned it off... Its still an issue for people who want thier screen to turn on when they get notifacations.
Thanks for the help!

Openkirin roms are good, but the support chat in telegram is a bit toxic...
Also, any hi6250 rom will work well, like with the p8 lite 2017; roms there work on the honor 7x too, i've tested.
