Subject pretty much says it all... I have the regular desktop dock, and prior to rooting, the screen would stay on automatically by itself when the phone is in the dock. Ever since I rooted, the screen shuts off per the default time in Settings, even though the phone is docked.
Any ideas why this might be happening, and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any ideas and assistance!
When you rooted, did you revert to stock first?
If so, it turned off the stay awake when charging setting.
Settings --> Applications --> Development --> Stay awake
I'm utterly embarassed it was that easy. Thanks for the help!

Hey guys I have a quick question,
I'm planning on buying a car dashboard mount for my phone as I want to use the GPS everytime i'm on the road (for directions or not) [and yes... i have a charger as i already use my g1 for streaming shoutcast on tunewiki to my car via bluetooth].
Main problem is screen timeout. Is there any way possible so that when "Maps.apk" or Google Maps is ran, that the screen will not timeout, but when not running it goes back to timing out (like mine is set for 30 seconds)?
And before you say, ya go to Settings-> etc etc, yes i know I can do this but this is what im trying to avoid! The program I currrently use to change screen timeout as a one click solution is "Toggle Settings".. but I wanted to know if there was a way that it would automatically not time out when the Maps app is running.
Also, this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone know of a really good dashboard mount for the g1? not windshield but for the actual dashboard.
thanks
There is an App in the market called "Screen On" that will do this... You can select certain apps that you want the screen to stay on for...
There is also a setting under Settings->Applications->Development called Stay Awake... This will make your phone stay awake while charging...

Guys,
I know there have been many posts relating to WiFi and Sleep Mode (I've read them!) but regardless of what settings I use and whether or not I use an application like Wi-Fi Keep Alive, I still cannot keep wireless on when my screen is off.
I have tried starting the copy of a big file from my PC to my android wirelessly. Then when I turn off the screen, the file continues for about 15 seconds and then dies. I have also tried streaming music over the internet....again this works for 15secs after the screen has been turned off and then dies, only to reconnect when I turn the screen back on.
Can ANYONE help me with this. I have tried Wi-Fi Keep Alive, Wi-Fi Fixer, and the stock settings all with no success.
I have a stock 2.2 Nexus One.
EDIT: Just realised that this should be in the Q&A forum - apologies.
Please help me - I miss being able to stream net stations on the move!
Tried a non-stock ROM? There is a fix that should be in any recent AOSP ROM.
Thanks for the reply - I don't particularly want to flash a custom ROM. Is there any other fix for this issue that can be applied to the Stock ROM?
I've had this problem with every rom I've tried, its frustrating and it looks like there is no hope.
Ya I have this problem been annoying for stream with Pandora, its a hardware problem and nothing has worked for me. But I use screen on widget from the market to keep the screen on temporary until I don't need wifi, and also I use the stock clock app dim the screen even more than normal while streaming to waste less power on the screen. But there no way to fix it atleast for me.

Ive been having an issue with my WiFi randomly turning itself on. Ill turn it off to save battery, then check it 30-60 minutes later and its turned itself back on. Ive scanned through other threads and most people say that its from dock mode and to go into dock mode, then go to the settings and disable "auto connect to wifi". I dont have a dock and have never had it in dock mode, but I manually went into dock mode to check check the settings and I dont even have that option in the settings menu. I didnt seem to have the problem (or at least didnt notice it) until after I upgraded to ICS using the OTA update. Is there just a setting that Ive overlooked someplace where I can fix the problem, an app thats got permission to do it that I didnt know about, or is it just a bug thats baked into ICS? Btw, my phone is Locked, Stock, and Unrooted.
Noticed this yesterday on rumfloat4 as well

I have the same frustrating issue, locked and stock here, upgraded to ICS with the RUU. Sometimes it will stay off for several hours, sometimes not even an hour. I haven't been able to pinpoint which app is causing this.
I believe that it maybe an ICS issue.
I have done a complete factory reset on the phone three times, and network and wifi turn on at exactly midnight.
SO far spoken to HTC customer support.....lol
They advised me yo take back to retailer and let them examine it...wtf???

Check your Wi-Fi settings. Drop the drop bar and enable Wi-Fi connection then touch the bar next to the off-on switch. Touch the icon next to the home icon on the bottom of the phone and click on advanced. See the screen shots.
Hope this helps.

Too bad. I noticed mine came on the first night after I installed ICS. Took awhile to find the settings I posted. When I found the settings and clicked on the one in the picture I never noticed Wi-Fi come on on its own since.
I am curious how ICS determines "sleep". Is it phone sleep of human sleep? I also wonder if it is somewhat tied into automatic time settings. Say for instance you lose your signal during sleep, does ICS re-set the time and that triggers Wi-Fi turning on based on going setting the phone into a different time zone momentarily?
Just throwing a couple things out there in hopes it helps to solve the mystery.

I believe in later versions of GB, there was a distinct sleep setting that was separate from simply turning off the screen after a certain amount of time. As far as I can see, ICS did away with this and just sets the phone to sleep after a certain amount of time, which inherently turns off the screen.
Is this happening on new phones as well as refurbished ones? Whatever the problem is, its becoming annoying enough for me to return this phone and keep my Inspire.
Sent from my HTC Vivid
Yep, GB did have sleep time settings. That's why I was curious as to how ICS determines sleep.
Look at the permissions on HTC Sync. They're pretty intrusive as far as Wi-Fi settings. It may be worthwhile to go into each app and trying to force stopping each one one at a time that changes the Wi-Fi state at will.

Something else you can try is to go into the usage counter and clear the data from the wi-fi tab. Don't use Wi-Fi for a period of time then check if there was any usage and if there was it would be listed which apps used the data and how much they used. Some apps even allow you to access the settings from there as well.
Juice Defender or similar apps should be able to keep it off when you want it off.
The Airplane Mode also should keep WiFi turned off (as well as data) as long as you don't need to take phone calls while you sleep. Not to mention, it saves on the battery if you're not charging at night.
if anyone still interest on this , i found the solution !
on ics you go to:
settings
WLAN
Advanced
WLAN frequency band
and uncheck the auto set radio to use only 2.4 or 5gh
thats all
I like to keep the battery in my Note as charged up possible which means I plug it into the charger most times I come home and so I have to unplug it whenever I leave ... and so both coming and going the phone display turns on when I plug/unplug it and 99.9% of the time I don't want this. If the display is off it should just stay that way! For some reason I find this unwanted behavior so obnoxious I was going to get rid of the phone ... until I realized that getting a new phone might likely have the same problem since it seems to be quite common. I'm not so sensitive to other things not quite working the way I would like, but that one is so obviously crazy and happens so many times per day that it bugs me more and more each day. I've never seen this discussed, so my main confusion on this issue is why this doesn't seem to bother anybody else.
Anyway I noticed in the Revolt Rom there is a feature in the list called "Wake up on charging".
Does having this feature imply that one can disable it ... i.e. not have it wake up when the charger is plugged in?
Also does this mean that you can also disable Wake up when charging is terminated by unplugging the charger?
Please say yes and I will just die now and go to heaven.
If my interpretation of this feature is correct ... can most modern roms do this or is this unique to the Revolt rom?
Thanks

wrong section to post q
I have found option in developer menu but that states to keep device awake.
Usually screen dims and sleeps after a while.
I press powerbutton to put screen into sleep.
Another workaround could be to use tasker and program it to set screen off upon adding charger.

Yes it dims after 10 minutes (in my case since that is my sleep delay setting), but why should I waste 10 minutes of power or why should I have to press the power button to avoid this? My point is that this makes no sense. It would make way more sense for the screen to turn off when I tell it to and not otherwise.
> Another workaround could be to use tasker and program it to set screen off upon adding charger.
Now you're talking. A suggestion that actually worked. I had never heard of tasker. I paid the 3 bucks, then spent an hour learning how it works and figuring out the right combination of profile contexts and tasks ... and then it didn't work. I was using button number 26 which was supposed to be the power button but I never figured out why this didn't turn off the screen on the N7000. (Surprisingly tasker does not have a task identified as turning off the display!). Eventually however I stumbled across the fact that the task item called "system lock" turned off the display, and that did the trick for me. It was a minor expense and a lot of work to get my phone to behave the way I believe it should have to begin with ... but I'm happy that I prevailed in the end. Thanks very much for your suggestion.

Haven't seen that option in stock-based ROMs but CM ROMs can do this.
I'm currently using CM10.2 and the screen stays off while connecting/disconnecting the charger
good one

Do you know if that is true with CM10.1 based roms as well?
I don't flash often, and I don't want to flash a CM10.2 based rom since it looked to me that this was still too much of a work in progress.

I think jellybam had this option and surely some other ROMs have it too, but I can't help You with 10.1 ROMs as I don't use them myself.
However You might wanna give a chance to 10.2. I think it's pretty good for daily usage as I'm using it like 3 weeks now. All the major bugs have been fixed. The only unsupported apps are the navigation ones like tom tom and automapa. However forevermaps still works.
That's what worked for me in Tasker
Profile: State/Power/Power any
Entry --> Power - On
Exit <-- Power - Off
Task: Power - On
Variable/Variable set/%PWR =1
Task: Power - Off
Variable/Variable set/%PWR =0
Profile: State/Display/Display State Off
Entry --> Power - Old
Exit <-- Screen - Off
Task: Power - Old
Variable/Variable set/%PWR_OLD = %PWR
Task: Screen - Off
Display/System Lock
If %PWR_OLD =/= (not =) %PWR
Variable/Variable set/%PWR_OLD = %PWR
It doesn't matter how many times I turn the wifi off on my nexus 6, it seems something keeps turning it back on. Im not sure how long it will take to turn back on, but I will look at my phone and notice that its back on again. It also doesn't matter what wireless AP I am by.
Is there a way to see what app, or whatever, is turning it on so that when I disable wifi, it's actually disabled until I change it otherwise?
I've been having something similar, coupled with my wifi disconnecting and reconnecting in a loop every thirty seconds. I'll notice my wifi looping like this, so I'll turn wifi off, only to have it turn back on by itself within ten seconds and start looping again. Really strange. This began about two days ago out of the blue. I haven't been able to pin it down to anything.
I'm running stock 6.0.1, Jan 2016 OTA.

Just wanted to follow up so you could check if this applies in your situation.
I finally found the culprit! I decided to reboot into Safe Mode to disable all third party apps and see if it still happened. When in Safe Mode the wifi was rock solid! That told me it was some app causing my problems. So I uninstalled several apps to try to narrow it down, especially those that had been updated recently and rebooted normally. It still looped the wifi.
After banging my head against the wall, I decided to go to developer options, show running processes, and see what apps were running that could be messing with the wifi. The normal apps you would expect to be running were listed, plus the MyAccount app from StraightTalk.
Why the heck would that app be running a process? I opened the ST app and looked through it's options. Low and behold was a section called wifi management. Holy crap, this could be it! I look in that section, and it was set to manage my wifi and connect and disconnect when sufficient access points are nearby. I turned that off, closed that app, and verified in Running Processes that it was indeed gone. It was, and my wifi has been solid ever since.
Stupid, stupid app!
OH MY GOD. This has been driving me nuts. Thank you so much!
