Has anyone seen a wireless charging adaptor that comes with a connect that makes Android think it's on a dock. The situation I'm in is I use a wireless charging dock at work. I would love to set it so that when the adaptor is connected it will start the screensaver.
You can also start the screen saver automatically when the pixel is charged. Not only when it is in a dock.

I thought of that. The only issue is my phone lays on my bed while I sleep. I would like a solution that doesn't require me to turn it off and on everyday.
I've never seen one. Logically I'm not sure how this would even be possible?
Maybe you could use something like Tasker to disable screensaver based on time of day or location.

Turning the function on or off depending on something like the home wifi network may be another way.
It looks like the following shell commands can turn the screensaver on or off:
settings put secure screensaver_enabled 1
settings put secure screensaver_enabled 0
To run a shell command with Tasker it's necessary to use root. Another way to do it without root is to grant permission to an app, such as AutoTools Secure Settings.

Is there a mod/app for this? When using navigation the screen dims after 2 min which is ideal when not charging buta pain when on charge in the car

I use Caffeine. You need to load it if you reboot the phone, but once it's running it works perfectly.
Maybe not exactly what you need, but "Keepscreen" can disable screen time out for programs (like your navigation software) seperately.

There's a setting in Settings > Applications > Development to have the screen stay on while charging. Have you tried that?

that feature is so the screen doesn't sleep which is different to screen timeout
i.e the brightness level dims
caffiene works great btw altho it doesn't run at boot even tho there is a check box for it
no big shakes
I am in the process of configuring Tasker for use in my vehicle to replace my aging CarPC with Nexus 7 2013(MMB29O/rooted). I am currently using Dashdroid as the front end. However, it seems tasker cannot completely kill the Dashdroid app. It still shows as open(when you click the square on the tablet) and not completely killed.
Tasker is set up as such:
Profile > Not Power Any > Tasks > Power Off > Kill App > Car Dashdroid (Use Root On)
Is there a better way to go about this? A way to shut down all apps and go to sleep, etc? Thanks!
With the WiFi off option no longer there in settings (advanced WiFi settings/ keep WiFi on when screen is off, always/on when charging/never) is there any adb or work around to change it from (now always on) back to 'on only when charging? thanks
This works on the pixel 2. I'm not sure if it'll work on the 5x. adb shell settings put global wifi_sleep_policy 0. 0=never when sleep, 1=only when plugged in

I think I have enabled this feature in the settings but the screen still goes black after a few seconds. Please advise.
Display>Advanced>Ambient Display
Yes, i enabled it there
since we are on the subject of displays, how do you get the pics to stop scrolling on the always on display when you are charging from the pixel stand?
I don't know if restarting my phone or the screen protector was interfering with the sensor but I removed it and it seems to work now.
is there no way to add an image to the ambient display or any other customization?
settings have a search function just type anything in there that you may want to change or generic phrase to narrow it down like screen will give you all the screen options only.

Hi
I've got myself an OnePlus 7T and also enjoying my Pixel 4. On the Pixel 4 it is possible via third party app to automate the on/off of Dark Mode. However I cannot see it's possible with the OnePlus 7 Series?
I've heard that it's somehow possible with Tasker. But has anyone here experience with that?
Thanks.
Go into developer options. There should be an option to force dark mode

It's there, but I wouldn't use it. It makes elements/texts wrong color on many apps that probably don't support it.
I.ie grey text on black background,

Yea. Tasker makes it a breeze. You can automate it however you want.
Spesific apps can turn it on, others can turn it off.
Certain schedule, time or days, you can make it every weeknight, two hours Saturday and the whole of Sunday if you want.
Connected to WiFi networks or Bluetooth devices can enable it.
You can even have it enabled during low light only, or under a certain threshold. The list is unlimited ?

Nice. But is this system wide ? Do you have any Tasker scripts or what it's called that can do this? ?
Cheers

Tasker only changes system settings, it doesn't "create" its own stuff. So basically It's simply toggling the dark mode on or off depending on the parameters you set. If your phone has system wide setting, then that's what it'll toggle.
It's an automation tool that can automate what you currently do manually.
Have you got tasker? Have you played with it?
Just create a profile you want, for example: time
Then set the parameters (example 7pm to 7am)
Then choose an action, search for dark mode. You can either set it to toggle or to on/off
If set to on, make an exit task too, again chose dark mode and off.
If you want a certain app to trigger it, then choose that app, etc. You can have an or or conditions etc.
Think: If this and this but not that then X.
Look at tasker tutorials for more parameter alternatives.
