[Q] Display stays on when connected via USB / Charging - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've just got my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 a week ago and I'm loving it! Migrating from my old HTC Kaiser to this phone and there's still a lot for me to learn...
Anyway, not sure this has been asked/solved but is there a way for the screen to stay on while it's connected to USB/Charging?
Changing the settings in Settings > Application > Development > USB Debugging doesn't seems to do the trick...
Some help from all the Sifus please?

An option activated on dev phone (Nexus, or Rom from AOSP like Cyanogen ^^)
Samsung didn't activated it, so you can't

Really? That's just too bad...guess I'll have to revert back to setting the Screen Timeout to be longer as a workaround...

I don't know a way to do this on the stock ROM... other than using the Samsung dock

I also missed that feature coming from Desire HD and Flyer!
But now am using widgetsoid and it has a widget switcher that does exactly that, staying awake while charging

You can use the "Screen OFF Timeout" app and tick the "Stay on" option.
The screen will stay on while charging.

Stay awake is missing in di11is5.1

I am not able to find the stay awake option in this custom rom. I really like the look of this rom but I use my phone as a clock both on my night stand and in my car. Am I just overlooking it or is it actually gone?

Its missing out of most 2.2.1 ROMs.
Download "battery booster" app from market. U can set it to whatever u want in it.
found this thread when searching for the same problem. the "stay awake" option is gone in stock rom, too, so it has nothing to do with custom roms. i think it's gone since 2.2 version.
the suggested "battery booster" app isn't quite the same, because it also keeps the screen on when not charging, and you will always have to manually toggle it off and on, which always needs severals touches to do.
i have found StayAwake (by runks) which offers a "Stay awake if plugged" option, which should resemble the behavior of the original "Stay awake" setting earlier android versions have. so far it works, but it's not the first app i am trying - the last one worked for a while but then after some hours the screen suddenly turned off despite being plugged. hope this one will work better.

Just flashed back to stock JF6 no more than 3 hours ago and it still had the stay awake option... Maybe you have a different "stock" that you're talking about?

[Q] Keep backlight on while USB is connected?

Under the developer settings, right below "Enable USB Debugging" in 2.1, as well as in the original leaked 2.2, there was the option to keep the screen on while the phone was charging or connected via USB.
I've been trying out a few ROMs, mostly based on 2.2.1, and in every one of them, that option is completely gone! Any know anything about this?
I have been told that this is the case on the 2.2.1 roms see my thread here:
Hopes this helps you.

Well, thanks for the help. I would really like for my screen timeout to be 15 seconds, unless i plug it in.... WITHOUT having to hit a button on a widget, and remembering to hit that button later so that my screen doesnt stay on forever.
Anyone know why the option is missing from 2.2.1 roms?

[Q] How do I keep the Note alive?

Hi all,
I am doing software development and using my Galaxy Note and an HTC Desire HD for testing on a real device. With the HTC I can get it to stay on whilst I am debugging or plugged into the USB port.
I can't do this with the Galaxy Note and I am finding this to be a bit of a pest for testing.
Anyone know how to get this phone to stay on when connected via USB?
Cheers
Dave...
It's to protect the screen. OLED can have burn in issues.

I did it with Elixir2 from market. It has a status bar widget where you can put different toggles. One of them is the screen time out toggle and you can choose the option "never".
It works fine for me.

[Q] WiFi Randomly Turning Itself On

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.

Doesn't do a thing.

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.

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 ran into the same problem too. I ended up going into settings->developer options and enabled the Stay awake option while phone is charging.
The developer options is not viewable by default. I believe you have to tap your build number in about phone like 15 times to see the option.
