Alright, I'll keep this short:
I have a galaxy note, and got the docking station just today. Now, I like the dock app that comes up as soon as you dock it, however, the background is standard this blue thing. I change it to a black background in order to save screen lifetime and prevent SuperAmoled burn in.
The problem is though, after a few minutes it goes into a different mode where it rotates the position of the clock and hides that status bar, but then it also changes the background back to the original background, meaning I don't dare leave it in the cradle for hours.
Is there a fix for this? Is it actually harmful to the screen to be on for such extended periods of time?
help.....

Hi guys,
I've got a little problem with my official Samsung docking station.
As soon as the battery gets fully charged the displays turns on and won't switch off automatically again, so every night the display is running for several hours, showing the dock clock until I wake up and turn it off.
I'm quite worried about early AMOLED wear-out or burn in issues because of this and am wondering if there is any way to prevent this behavior.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Guys
I have a strange icon at the top of my phone that looks like two hands cupping a small white object. This icon is not listed anywhere i can find LOL Any ideas? When I plug the charger in it goes grey and then white when I unplug.

this icon means extended standby mode is active
and it goes grey because extended standby is disabled when you plug the charger (because it doesn't have to save the battery then)
Has anyone figured out how to make the phone stay in dock mode when the wireless charging hits 100%? I am getting tired of my phone pulsating throughout the night as it turns off at 100% and turns back on at 98%. My clock app goes away when the charging turns off and lights up my room like daylight. I have tried using tasker and the magnetic field sensor, but that is not very reliable. I have tried other tasker profiles but can't seem to figure out a good mix of variables. I also tried using an NFC tag on the dock and the app Trigger to start the app, but that only works when I first put it on the charger. It doesn't have an Exit Task like Tasker does.
This is really annoying and a pretty crappy "feature". Anyone?

use niteclock free
works great for me make sure you get this one:
Night Clock by
Gubbel
Can I ask why you suggest that one? I have a couple alarm apps that I could probably just open myself, but I'd like to be able to put my phone on the charger and have it open automatically and stay open until I take it off the charger. Does Night Clock have settings for this kind of situation?

a few reasons:
1: first it works with wireless charging on my nigntstand
2: turns off hard buttons
3: dims to my liking per settings
4: moves as a screensvaer
5 most important stays on after charger is full
I suppose a round-about way of solving this problem is to just use a wired charger, and save the wireless one for your desk or something, so that you don't have to worry about it acting up in the middle of the night. There's no terrific advantage to having wireless charging, IMO, so just be practical and use the wire.

I would do that if they made a dock for the Turbo. Unfortunately, Motorola doesn't put out docks for their phones like they used to. Now you have to buy a generic one that doesn't fit properly. I ended up creating a Tasker task that opens my clock app and doesn't allow it to close, so I have to close the app manually every morning but that's just being picky. It works pretty well, so I'm happy now.

I'm having trouble getting tasker to see my dock. What settings you have the mag sensor set to. And are you able to get the clock to go into night mode?

I just set Tasker to launch my clock app (Dock Clock Plus) when it detects wireless charging. I tried to use the mag sensor, but I could never get consistent results. The Dock Clock Plus app has a setting to go to night mode automatically at certain times. So I have it set for night mode from 9pm to 8am. So if I dock my phone outside those times, it stays bright.
Hi,
I noticed on the default wallpaper for the always on display, you have two variants of the background. One is completely black except for the stars at the top, and the other has a grey gradient in the same place. When the AoD activates, the gradients turns off after a minute or so, leaving only the stars. This is all fine and dandy, but when charging the phone the gradient comes on and *stays* on, even when charging is done (at least when wireless charging).
This concerns me because if the phone sits on the dock all day, then I fear that grey gradient is going to be responsible for burn-in eventually because it's not moving like everything else on the AoD does every minute or so.
Is this common behaviour? Thinking about just turning Infinity wallpapers off if they're going to be dumb like that, as I'm at home a lot and so the phone will sit on the charging dock a bunch, and I don't want the risk of burn in from that.
Well, it has been said a lot, AOD moves, and the parts that appear static, switch pixels on and off, now, it is not good to have the phone charging all the time! It will degrade your battery

I was under the belief that charging was a lot smarter these days and trickled once fully charged, explicitly to stop the degradation of the battery, which means it should be fine. Since you can't exactly turn the wireless charger on and off easily it would defeat the purpose of it having a docking stand, no?
My issue is the gradient is quite bright and doesn't appear to move. Maybe it flickers but considering the uneven brightness I just cannot see how this is good for the screen in the long run when the other 75% of it is completely black except for the clock elements which do move.
Yes, the original samsung chargers are designed to stop sending power once 100% is attained, but this is the first bad thing, charging to 100% puts some stress to the batt, the second one is, when charge reaches 100%, stops charging, as a little time passes and charge level drops, the charging ressumes, and so on, until you disconnect the phone, the optimal charge range is between 20-80 %, okay, that when being extra careful about batt helth, but search about leaving the phone connected for very long periods of time, you will find in detail what I try to say
My research doesn't seem to share your conclusions. Have you got verifiable sources on that?
Take a look at this:

just one, there are others out there
Hey ppl, is it possible to remove the charging animation (ring)? (see attached image)
I looked anywhere, decompiled SystemUI and some other apks but i cant find it.
My idea is to simply make the pngs or whatever black if i cant find the smali at least.
The reason i want to get rid of it is that it lights up the bedroom when it is on my wireless pad next to my bed.
Not just once, it flares when phones at 100% so it stops charging, then on 99% or so the my wireless charger kicks back in and so forth and so forth.
Its annoying, perhaps its not happening on samsung wireless pads but on mine it behaves like that.
