Is there a way to keep the ROG Vision always on on the ROG Phone 6 Pro?
I can only keep the LED on, but I haven't found a way to keep that on with the ROG Vision.
Same as with using the camera, if you use the back camera, the ROG Vision and LED will be turned off. I rather have the ability to choose myself to keep it on or not.
I would like to have an extra option like when in Camera mode, i would put "SMILE" in Vision lol. But yeah, its weird why this is disabled

When I'm in my car, I have my GN mounted on a vent, and plugged into power. I'll often use this to check traffic with Google Maps, or for whatever reason, would like to keep the display on (preferrably full power since it's not running off the battery), and not dim after the preset time. I have yet to find a way to do this.
I have gone into Developer Settings, and enabled the "Stay Awake" when plugged into power, but this does not prevent the screen from dimming after the preset time. So this doesn't accomplish what I want.
On my prior Touch Pro 2, there was a simple setting - keep display on, full brightness, when plugged into power. Seems like a no-brainer to have this feature, but I'll be darned if I can find it.
Any ideas? Or Apps that will provide this functionality?
Thanks.

I think screebl might help. Not 100% sure that it will though

Thanks. As you said, it doesn't seem Screebl will do what I'm wanting.
There are a few other Apps, such as "Stay Awake" where you can configure it to keep the display on whenever a specified app or apps are running. I guess this might be an option.
But seriously, this seems to be a major omission in Android. I understand why one might want the display to auto-dim (although I can just turn it off when I want, so even this is questionable). But if it's plugged into power, surely the user should have a readily available option to keep the display on. For example, a "Never" option in the screen that has the various timeout options.
I'm new to Android - is there really no straightforward way of doing this??
Bump..
Still hoping for a straightforward way to keep the display at full power when connected to my car charger.
Thanks.
Widgetsoid has as one of its display switches to keep the display always on, and it does work. So I made a 1x1 widget that has that one switch, and use it when I want the screen to stay on. Not elegant, but functional.
Thanks for the suggestion; I'll check it out.
I'm still somewhat surprised that this pretty basic functionality isn't built into the OS itself, or that there aren't ready-made Apps to implement this.

I dont think google had car mode ready for release. Couple that with the fact the car dock with pogo pins hasnt been released either. Yes google f'ed up but im sure we will see it in future update. Or a dev will probably be nice enough to do something.

What he said.... I am assuming the OP is a first timer on Android. This has been the way to do it since the stock G1 software

Yes, I'm a first timer with Android, but I still do my research before posting. Did you actually read my initial post or the Subject title?
I have already enabled this setting. Yes, it does keep the screen 'awake' but it still dims after the timeout in Display Settings.
My post is how to keep the screen at normal brightness when plugged into power
I read your post. I agree, it is annoying. I have not found a solution to it and it has bugged me for years while in the car. I have had 4 android phones and it has been the same on all of them so it is not an individual phone thing, it is an android thing. My best suggestion is while in the car to have navigation turned on, that keeps the screen fully lit. I would think that some enterprising developer could delve into how the navigation mode keeps the phone at full power and come up with an app to do the same.

I've been looking at a few Apps (Screen On, Screen Timeout Widget, KeepScreen), but there are questions about each of them, uncertain compatibility with ICS, etc.
I did discover that when I had a Video playing (podcast through BeyondPod), the display did stay undimmed while I was plugged into Power. Navigation also works this way. Really crazy that this isn't an available option in the OS.
This worked on my old Droid, haven't tested on my Galaxy Nexus yet -- but hopefully the app is ICS compatible: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.probeez.liteprofiles&hl=en
Setting Profiles Lite is limited to one rule -- so make your one rule this: When charging, screen timeout=never (since this actually changes the screen timeout on the basic level, instead of the workaround that the Dev Settings option triggers).
(The full version of Setting Profiles will of course also do this, and I'm sure you can also do this with Tasker.)

May be you have "Smart Alert" feature turned on. Go under settings and then motion. Basically your phone will vibrate to tell you if you have any messages or massed calls waiting for you.
For second thing May be you're taking about Smart Stay. It is under settings, display. It will keep the screen on until you keep looking at it.

Hello I am switching from a G Watch which had an option Screen Always On which would keep the screen at lowest brightest always.
This Moto 360 is starting to bug me. I just updated to the lollipop update 5.0.1. I turn ambient screen on which says "Warning battery life will suck blah blah". Ok I am find with that don't care but even after turning it on the damn screen turns off all the time. No matter what I do the screen will not stay on.
Please help do I need to return this?
I get that with watchmaker custom dials. Official/bought dials seem OK. I think its a bug in watchmaker.
It's a feature of the moto 360... If you don't like it, return it and get the gwatchR

Its been a bit buggy when using the 'phone as a display for me. On a head unit it seems OK.
Works fine for me, every now and then it doesn't automatically close when I disconnect from my car (2011 Mazda 3, so using the phone as the display). 100% auto-start, 90% auto-close.
I've started using Android Auto on my phone when driving. I don't have a head unit that supports it - I'm just using the phone's screen. I haven't had problems with it except for occasionally when it won't shut down when I disconnect from the car as Seamonkey described above. But that is pretty rare.
I also found that sometimes the app would close normally, but the Do Not Disturb mode stayed on. This was extra frustrating because it usually took awhile before I noticed it. To be honest, when I first started using AA I didn't know that AA turned DND on automatically. What a dumb thing to require! I understand the idea behind it, but at least let me opt out of the setting! I ended up writing a tasker profile to turn DND off when the app is opened, and also turn DND off when the app is closed (just as a safety measure).
As the title indicates.* Always On Display now never goes off even when it is in my pocket or phone face is down at night.* AOD used to turn off as expected and believe this broke after the September security update.*
AOD remaining on when the phone is in pockets or face down is resulting in increase of battery use. I have unlocked Note 10+ on T-Mobile.
I posted this on Samsung support as well. Can you guys check and confirm if you are seeing the same issue?

I've mentioned on another forum that I'm having this issue as well. I have the Note10+ T-Mobile with the September update. When I first got my phone before the September update, my phone's AOD used to turn off when I close my flip case. I checked this when I first got my phone because I was reading forums and people were saying it didn't work. Then after the September update, I noticed that the AOD will not turn off anymore when I close my flip case or even face down. Now it will just dim when the case is closed but never turn off.
Thanks for posting this on the Samsung forum as well. I hope they get back to you and give us an update to fix this issue.
Mine also is not working. I'm using tap-to-turn-on right now, and prefer it, but just chiming in here.
As a temporary solution you guys could set it to "show on tap", that's how I set mine from the beginning, so AOD is off unless you tap on it, or set it active during certain hours. If it was working and no more, probably bug in the update, what else is new, yawn.

Kind of disappointing. Pay $1,100 for a phone to only be forced to use it half ass LOL.

This is not likely to ever change. Every new (rushed to market) device has issues. They'll fix it. I actually prefer the tap-on method now.
It is what it is.
If my phone is inside my pocket, I need to take it out and hold in my hand, same at night when sleeping, phone is laying down on night table, I need to pick it up to see the screen. If tapping the screen to activate AOD, when holding the phone in your hand is such a problem, I really would hate to see the drama, when real problems appear, like when you get a message or miss call and there is no notification light etc. LOL.
It's actually worse than just AOD not turning off because after the Sep update the proximity sensor doesn't work except when making a phone call. If I get a text message or email and my phone is in my pocket then the phone display turns on. At a minimum it's bad because the device wastes power turning on in the pocket, but depending what's on the screen it can also inadvertently clear notifications, open apps make a call all by accident. Needs a fix from Samsung ASAP.

It makes sense the problem is with the sensor post the security update since AOD depends on the sensor to turn off in pockets and when face down. Really crappy this gotten broken [emoji17]
