Coming from an old WinMo device there was an option that allowed you to keep the screen on when the device was charging.
Is there a similar option for the Desire i have missed or an app that could do that for me
I realise i could set the screen to never turn off but this would apply to when charging and not charging
Thanks
There's an option for this in settings > applications > development, this goes for all android handsets i've seen.
Perfect!!!
Thanks for the speedy response

Hey guys,
I want my Nexus to wake up when I shake it. I have secure settings and other things with it work well, but I can't turn on the phone. I tried many different things... any tips welcome.
Go to Menu > Settings > Monitor > Display Off Monitoring > Select 'Yes' (or whatever is opposite to what you have on currently)
where? settings of tasker? secure setting (I don't see settings for it)? my phone? trying to find it..
ok so you mean in tasker... I have a bunch of options under display off monitoring. which one am I changing?

ah ha!
ok so I asked you two questions but I figured it out. it's the accelerator, which is what is checking to see if I'm shaking the scree. the option I had was set to "only when powered on" and I changed it to yes, so now the phone can checks for it with screen off.. now just to make sure it's not TOO sensitive so it doesn't just turn on in my pocket..

Yep, this could also be a bad idea in terms of battery, if you run the task the accelerometer is polling 24/7 (well at least when the phone is on) so it could lead to battery levels diminishing fairly quickly I'm pretty sure.

It's also not working 100%... hm. but mostly.
Got any ideas about how to activate the phone without the power button? something that would save battery?
Am I just so used to Moto phones that I didn't realize that screens down light up when picked up? Laying in bed reaching over to turn my phone to me I have to push the power button? Am I missing a setting? I'm so used to it lighting up to show me time and notifications just tilting it.
sadly, this phone doesnt have this feature

Nope it's not one of the three options there. I found a app called Gravity Screen and once you select the right options it works pretty great. Took me a second to figure out how to get it not to block unlocking with my finger. Not great I need a secondary app but at least it feels right again.

Turn on ambient display: A feature of Android Wear and Motorola devices, it's now on Android Nougat by default. Head into Settings > Display and you'll be able to glance at monochrome notifications.
Seems they have also changed how this works, so your current solution may be better.
Apparently it (ambient display) now only illuminates the screen when a notification comes in, not again when you lift.
Can't believe this phone does not come with such a simple yet very convenient feature

I miss it as well, but I guess the Pixels should be getting a tap to wake update soon, that will help some.
Whoa, if so that's amazing. How sure are we? What's the source?
This is really annoying, when my phone is charging and the screen is off, it constantly shows the battery % and time until battery is charged. Tried turning off the AOD, looked all through the settings and no go. Anyway to turn this off??? My note 9 does not do this

I posted this on another thread, hope it helps. Worked for me:
I got the package disabler from here https://www.packagedisabler.com/ . It's kind of shady so I advise to use PayPal(it is not a free app) if possible. You will need to enable the option to sideload applications, do a search for 'unknown sources' on the phone, should pop-up right away. Download the app from the site, search it with the file explorer and install it, you should also receive a code in your email after you pay, paste it. Scroll down until you see 'Always on Display' and select disable. This worked for me. The app is more than $3.00 as they charge in Euros. Hope this help
Any other option how to disable it? A lot of people use AOD and this option probably will turn whole AOD.

I don't think it is possible with regular settings or tweaks, It is such a replacement for missing LED indicator in Note 10(+). Unlike previous model.
I was always wondering about this as if the phone is on charge every night what is stopping the burn in on the screen. it's a good answer to the lack of a LED, but it seems a bit overkill.
Search for screen saver under display or lock screen settings. It's about what to display when phone is charging.

The screen saver won't show if you press power button to turn off screen. It will only work if you wait for screen to turn off by itself.

I consider everything outside the play store as 'shady'. Anyways, I used PayPal and the app worked great. One thing to consider that I don't think has been mentioned is that you 2ont be able to change your lock screen clock shape as it is tied to the AOD app somehow.

thanks. that's okay with me (clock). do I need to use adb or anything like that? there are apps outside of the Play store that are not shady.
Ccswe pro disable AOD and charging status will stop showing while charging.

Yes. But what if I don't want to disable AOD?

Ah...but it's not the only way.
If you prefer to stick to the play store instead of third party I'm currently using CCSWE from Google play for this.
You CAN do this with the free version. Simply go to the search box in the app type AOD and search. Disable the one labeled com.samsung.android.app.aodservice.
This will disable the AOD completely - so no charging screen and no general AOD use.

Download a black wallpaper, such as this one: https://i.imgur.com/NakfHv4.jpg
Put it ina folder by itself and label it so you remember it.
Turn on screensaver under Display Settings, and set the screensaver to photo frame. Set that to the folder that contains your our black wallpaper.
Now when you charge the phone, it will start the screen saver, which will be all black, no charging notification. If you still see the charging notification, just double tap the screen to go to lockscreen and let it time out. The notification will be gone.

You don't need to download any background. Just choose photo but don't select your google account.

Thank you!
Greetings. Can someone tell me how to turn off Always on Display. I've Googled it and done what many sites say, but there is no setting there. In addition, if I type in the settings search box Always on Display, AOD, or Ambient Display, nothing shows up.

In Android 11 go to Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock Screen/Always show time and info.
