Has anyone been able to get the stay awake option in development to work and stay checked thru a reboot. Have used stay awake app from market but it always resets the screen timeout when I unplug to ten min or none
If you download the load monitor app, it has a feature that will keep the phone awake.
Its not that I want stay awake all the time only when on the charger. It worked that way on original stock it would stay checked thru a reboot. In the car on charge like to have it on all time and go back to timeout setting when unplugged. After rebooting need to reset would be nice to set and forget
Download stayawake it will allow you to keep awake on charging only .. it works great for me

Not trying to go against what you're trying to do as it can be useful but it's not suggested. You will burn your screen faster that way
If you're already aware then don't mind me

Hi all,
I've been working on getting my XT862 to give me more life on the battery. I've rooted and debloated using psousa's stuff, but I'm still not where I'd like to be. I've noticed a few interesting things:
AOS is showing as the top user in the battery monitor. Currently it's at 32% with my display and WiFi bringing up the rear.
Even though I've run the debloat script as root and confirmed the rename of skype.bourbon and motoprint, these things still start up. How is this possible?
BetterBatteryStats shows that the suspend process is my main battery user. How does one fix that?
Any advice on what to look for?
best route is to install a custom ROM and try different ones out for battery life. I would suggest Maverick ROM also make sure you wipe battery stats after installing a new ROM and fully cycle your battery.

I'm guessing suspend is another way of saying System Idle.. if you wanted to get rid of that, make a nandroid backup of your system (via bootstrap or safestrap) and experiment what system apps/services you can freeze (via Titanium Backup) without getting force closes on the stuff that you use. I have about 30-60 system apps/services frozen depending on the ROM that I run. I have no force close issues, and my system idle uses about 1 percent of the battery per hour.
Additionaly, if you are using the CDMA network, force CDMA mode, likewise from GSM/UMTS, if you are using it, force it, do not use Global, as it will have both radios running and searching for service.
Disable the use of wifi when you aren't using it (there is an option to auto turn it off when the screen turns off, however this may cause worse battery life if you are using data as it will try use your mobile network, requiring more power), if you wish to leave it on, increase the scan time interval (i made mine 10 mins, up from the stock 45 seconds)
Auto brightness (it isn't really that bad...)
And get the app called juice defender. Once you set it up it controls all of your wireless stuff. Like turning wifi and 3g off when you turn your screen off, etc.

If you use Wifi often, it is a good idea to check your Wifi Sleep Policy. To do this, navigate to:
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wifi Settings > Advanced Settings (hit menu to access this) > Wifi Sleep Policy
I have mine set to 'Never'. By default, it was set to turn off the wifi when the screen went off, so any background apps that run and use data default back to the mobile connection. When you turn the phone back on, it turns the Wifi back on from sleep mode. By changing the sleep policy to 'never' you prevent this disconnect/reconnect to Wifi cycle.
This helped my battery life when connected to Wifi. Let me know if it works for you.
Thanks to all
Thank you for your replies everyone. I'll have to get TB and start freezing stuff. What confuses me though is how a service like Verizon Apps or Skype Mobile gets started even though it was renamed ".bak" by psousa's script. Also, I've noticed that when I run the restore bloat software, I don't get back all the apps in my app drawer. I'm not sure why that is.
Is it possible something got screwed up if I ran the debloat script twice? I see that it does a bunch of mv proggie.apk proggie.apk.bak type work. If the first file wasn't found, is it possible that it overwrote the .bak with gibberish?
My WiFi sleep policy is never because I have WiFi all day and I like Google Talk a lot. I'd be happy if I could get WiFi/Display as my top users, just AOS seems like a bug.
I'm on UTMS so it's forced to that all the time.
Maybe the answer is to try the mods. Or maybe SBF to the stock and try again?
I have a official Samsung desktop charger and when my phone is in it the brightness drops to 12% ... I have also noticed using a Brodit in car charger and it does the same
Occasionally when the phone is in neither it also drops to 12% , it is doing my head in and can't work out why any ideas ? I have had the notes and had same problem so I know it's not the handset I have
I have disabled auto adjust power supply so I know it's not that
Any ideas ?

Am I the only one with this problem ? Surely not as 3 handsets I have had , have all had the same problem

I'm not sure if this is directly applicable to you, but it was the case for me in the past:
When you set your Android phone to "stay awake" when on AC power (as it is referred to in Settings) then the screen will still time-out after the usual time, however instead of turning off, it will instead dim to the "minimum" setting.
Usually the time elapses, the screen dims, then 1 or 2 seconds later the screen turns off. With "Stay Awake" enabled, it dims then stays on.
The reason I suspect this might be happening to you is that you are using docks, presumably using the stay awake setting so that you can always see the display when docked?
There is a potential solution, but I don't know if it will work for definite. Try downloading and installing Widgetsoid (others will work but I am most familiar with that one) then add a new widget, select switcher 1x1, then "screen" at bottom, then "Always on" one up from bottom of list. If my theory is correct, that will keep the screen on constant without dimming after time-out.
Hope that applies and/or helps!
The screen is kept on when I am charging and if I switch off, it will instantly turn on.
I didn't set stay awake in developer settings. Anyone has the same issue?

Yep. Same here. I found that if I used a corded wall charger, it does it. If I use the USB charger, it doesn't. Not sure why or the purpose.
check your stay awake option under developer options settings (Settings --> Developer Options --> Stay Awake). Hope that helps

The OP has already mentioned that he/she does not have Stay Awake enabled. Stay awake doesn't turn the screen back on either. For the record, I have Stay Awake enabled and I do not have this issue while using either USB or AC to charge.
Try using BetterBatteryStats to find out if an app is holding a wakelock. It is available for free on XDA in the Android Apps forum or on the Play Store for a small fee.

wow...i must be blind...i blame all the reading ive done on the 1000+ pages on the all-in-one play store/orders/shipping forum
i retract my statement
Trying to understand the app exclusion list. If I turn on extended standby, my understanding is no apps can communicate when the screen is off. Does putting an app on the list still allow it to do so? Ie would I still get live hangouts messages?
Yes if you put apps in the list those apps are still allowed to use data with the screen off.

Thanks. What about queue background data? Is there any way to still get push notifications?
I'm actually finding extended standby to cause issues because the apps that can't communicate just keep trying and keep the phone awake

You need extended standby to be on though if you want to use STAMINA mode. They are basically one and the same. If you notice when you have ES on and turn it off, it turns off the STAMINA mode switch too.

I am using my HP Touchpad as a weather station. I have it hung on the wall with a weather app running full screen. I would like for the screen to stay on all the time. It is plugged in. The longest time I can set it to stay on without going to sleep is 30 minutes. I checked the option in the developer's options to keep the screen from going to sleep while the tablet is plugged in, but it doesn't work. Is there something I am missing? Is there something I can install to keep the screen from going to sleep? I would greatly appreciate some help.

The developer's option:
Stay awake
Screen will never sleep while charging
Works and verify using Evervolv Nougat 7.1.2
It should also works with all ROMs.
There are several apps that can do this. I´ve been using this one on another tablet, but it should work on the TP as well. There are settings to keep the device from going to sleep and dimming the screen.
