Is there an apk that will keep gtab active so that it doesn't go into sleep mode as long as it is plugged in. I am using "Screen On" and it helps but is not perfect.

Don't need APK ... Built in...
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay Awake.
Does the screen timout set to "never" not keep it from sleeping? I have never tried it as I just use the tab once every now and then. Or are you asking for an "active app" that the screen is off but the tab is not "sleeping" ie the cpu is still running??

I'm using Ultimate v7.8 ROM and I noticed that each time I plug the charger, screen turns on stays on which is not a problem because I can manually turn it off.
But bigger problem is when charging at night reaches 100%, screen turns on and stays on till the morning which will eventualy cause burn in.
Is it a problem with my ROM or ?

Thanks, but I have only "USB debugging" which is ticked, and "Allow mock lockations" which is not ticked. I had few roms with "Stay awake" option, I can remember now, but not on Ultimate. Which ROM do you use?
The problem is in PowerManagerServices that for unknown reason activates "StayOnWhilePluggedIn". This settings is configurable on cyanogen ROMs under Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake, but not on Ultimate Rom. Anyone else noticed the problem?
Code:
W/PowerManagerService( 3212): type=SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK 'StayOnWhilePluggedIn Screen Dim' active (minState=1) active T=2919219
W/PowerManagerService( 3212): type=PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'StayOnWhilePluggedIn Partial' active (minState=0) activeT=2919219
Yea, I'm having the same issue on Darky's rom. I think one of the apps i installed is the cause of it, just not sure which one. Is there any way to edit the rom in order to get that "stay awake" option back in the settings again?
Hi,
my display is always on while plugged in to the usb cable. It doesn't matter if it is charging or fully charged if the display is going on while plugged in it won't go off. it doesn't even lock itself.
i only can use the power button to shut it off.
so it happened that it was on the whole night because i had it plugged in and got an sms in the night.
has anyone a solution for that?
regards
I hoped that someone knows the option to enable or disable to shut off the display while plugged in...
no one?
If I remember correctly, there used to be an option in settings>applications>development, something called "keep screen on when plugged in" or something like that.
There definitely is the option somewhere, but I can't seem to find it in JVB (maybe it's only in earlier froyo roms?)
I would back up your data and factory reset if you cannot find any settings .
Display goes off when connected to USB at what i have set display timeout to .
In Display settings .

That feature was available in Froyo 2.2 only. Not present in 2.2.1 and above.
Settings -> Applications -> Developement -> Keep screen on (while charging AC/USB).

Thank's allot.
I have the 2.2 version and found the option. I turned it off and will be happily ever after.
Kind regards...
Hi,
When the phone is locked ( pressing down the button on the top of the phone) does the wifi still run in the background?
I'm thinking it is, because soon as I turn it back on the wifi icon is still displayed, meaning that it hasn't turned off.
Is that correct, and is there a way to have it automatically turn off ( like say the iphones) when the phone is locked?.
Thanks
You can set the WiFi sleep policy under wireless settings (advanced), if that helps
There isn't an option to turn it off when in sleep mode, just the following
after 15 mins
never when plugged in
never
Ok, then try settings profiles from the market, you can set that up to do exactly what you are wanting
I have that installed but I am having trouble getting it to turn off wifi when in standby mode.Would you know what to do?
Thanks
Set a new rule up with a condition set for 'screen status' off, and action set for WiFi off. Do another rule for screen status on, WiFi on. I think you may need to buy the full version to allow more than one profile.
There is no 'wifi off' option when i click on add action.
There's only
activate profile
run application
notify
pause
plugin defined.
Make a profile with WiFi set to off, then add an action to activate that profile. I'm doing this from memory so can't be exact with instructions, you need to experiment a bit, it is definately possible to do what you need.
Ok, I think I done it now.Thanks a lot for all your help.I appreciate it.
Whats up XDA.
So I have a galaxy tab sch-i800 running on cyanogenmod 9. I plan to fit my tablet into the dashboard of my car, I have everything worked out except how I'm going to turn it on and off. since I won't be able to access the power button I need a way for it to power on/off by its self, that way its not occasionally dead when I start my car.
At first I planed to use tasker to turn the tablet on when plugged in (or when I start my car, it turns on). and then turn off after an hour of inactivity (or an hour after I've turned off my car).
But now that I'm looking at tasker it won't let me use the command "turn on" (even though I'm rooted) and I don't see a turn off command.
Is there any apps out there that can help do exactly what I want?
I have noticed that 4.2+ automatically boots when it is plugged in, I'm on 4.0, would upgrading screw up cyanogenmod?
Thanks!

To Switch ON
I think you may have to rewrite the Bootloader code to switch ON the Tab when Charging starts instead on that Large Green Battery Animation. Search it ..
Hint : I have seen it(the code) somewhere while I was looking for OTG in P1000.
To Switch OFF
Try these apps and do post their results

What you hope to accomplish with it turning on from a full power off is not possible without rewriting the bootloader or somehow rewriting the power switch (open the tab, solder wires to the switch terminals, and use an external relay or transistor to short the wires).
Hi,
I have discovered one problem (in my phone, stock ROM 5.1) with AA: When I start one voice command... after some time without using AA (some minutes driving with the car), sometimes the AA don't responds. The mic is stalled and the voice command isn't recognized. I discovered that the problem is that the phone is "Deep Sleep" mode... Then if I touch the power button, and the Lock Screen appears, then the voice commands restores normal behaviour.
So, I ask: It's a way to maintain the LockScreen on when AA is connected? I feel the power ins't a problem as the device is connected with the USB port.
Disable screen timeout ? Or enable "Stay Awake" in developer options ?
Or just unlock the screen and leave it at the dark "android auto" screen ? For bonus points, hit Recents, then Home to switch to the usual home screen.
AA puts the phone into car mode, which is usually enough to keep the screen on.
SmartLock
Look into "SmartLock" . Mark your car radio as a trusted connection and the phone will not lock as long as it is plugged into it.

Yes, thank you! I know, but I don't like to do this at all! Why? I don't like to "auto unlock" my phone... this is completly unsecure. I have a secure PIN and I like to use it all the time. So the problem, isn't the "lock" of the device, the problem is that it can enter in "deep sleep" or similar state when AA is running. I like to forbird this without unlock the phone.
Some other idea?
