[Q] Does anyone know of a app that keeps screen on

I love my desire HD but one thing i'm having problems with is this so i'm wondering if anyone knows of a app that would solve the problem.
If I put my Desire HD into the brodit active car charger for streaming audio to my bluetooth car stero. after a while the screen will shut down so I can access menu's etc without pressing the top button again.
Now I know I can set the power settings to not turn off screen if on charge but it will still dim it.
What I need to know is that does anyone know of any app that you can specify that if
X app is running and is on charge then keep screen on at full brightness
A bit like if you were running something like copilot then it doesn't turn off the screen

you could try using something like "settings profile", which has abilities to create different profiles and activate them based on a set of rules.
This gives you some serious configuration options including screen timeout, set to never, seeing if that works for me.
If you want some really deep system config then you could always give "tasker" a go.
Also forget to mention, settings profile can do some really cool stuff with rules, for example I have one rule which says,
If phone is on charge and can see wireless SSID X then change profile to Bed, where screen rotation is locked. As the SSID is my home router and the charger is next to my bed.
I then have another rule which turns off all notifications except my alarm after 11 oclock on a weekday.
And i only scratch the surface of it.

KeepScreen app. It allows u to decide which app u want to keep the screen on

I used a app call screen on.

I use widgetsoid. With this kind of tools you can toggle your GPS, WIFI, plane mode, brightness... and set your screen to be always on.

For me ScreenModeWidget

KeepScreen here

Screebl is pretty good uses the G-sensor and you can set ranges of activation

Another good choice could be Total Screen Control, give it a try.
Cheers

Tasker would make sense here. Incredibly powerful tool to automate basically any task you can think of.

Widgetsoid, silly name but seriously the best set of toggle/power/control widgets I've ever used. So customisable, even the free version. Highly reccomended. For Widgetsoid you'd choose either the widget for keep screen always on or the other widget for keep screen on when charger connected. Widgetsoid is highly reccomended. For example create a widget for Wi-Fi, APN(data), Bluetooth and GPS. Toggle these off when you aren't using your phone such as overnight and save heaps of power.

I don't get it...why not use the setting in usb debugging?

Quick Question About Settings Profile Full

I'm trying to set it up on my NC so that the WiFi turns off when the screen turns off. I'm following directions I've found on the net, but I can't seem to find the right condition.
I set up a WiFi off profile, and set it to turn wifi off, and under conditions, I have the following options,
Add Condition
Time Period
Calendar Keywords
Location
Incoming Call
Missed Call
Unread Text/SMS
Battery
Wired Headset Attached
Connected BT device
Connected to WiFi
Docking State
Profile status
I'm trying to get it to quit rebooting after the screen shuts off. It's becoming quite an annoyance, but not being able to find this setting is driving me more crazy.
Any one have this running and working?

there should be a screen status condition. you have to click inverse logic after selecting it. unsure why you're not seeing it :-\ but it also looks like you're missing some other conditions too. i have many more than that on the free version. screen status is at the bottom for me.

Yeah, Screen Status is the last condition on the list for me too, on the Lite version.

Silly me, I have been working in landscape and had to scroll down. Thanks guys

[Q] Prevent screen locking while in desktop dock

Is there an app or hack that will prevent the Nexus One from locking the screen when place in the desktop dock (similar to what it does in the car dock)?
Thanks.

This may or may not work I don't have a desktop doc I'm just guessing but if you go to settings -> applications -> development -> and check stay awake since that is supposed to stop it from sleeping during charge and the doc charges it, it may work.

Nope, I already have that checked, and it doesn't work.
It's not the screen staying on that is the problem, it's the screen locking.
When I insert my N1 into the dock, it automatically launches the clock app. The screen stays on, and all is well. However, when I try to do something on the phone (besides stare at the clock) like click on the home icon on the clock screen, the lock screen appears.
I basically want it to work like the car dock: If my device is locked, it remains locked when I put it in the car dock. If my device is unlocked, it remains unlocked when I put it in the car dock. (The screen stays on in both cases, as it does in the desktop dock, so there is no issue there.)

Have you tried anything with Tasker?

No, actually I have never used Tasker. Can it solve an issue like this (as minuscule as it might be)?
By the way, when the phone is in the dock, and I unlock it, it stays unlocked. It only locks (after the delay I have set) when the clock is activated. For example, when first placing it in the dock, it will launch the clock, and after, say 1 min, it will lock (although I don't know that it's locked until I exit from the clock app, or remove it from the dock).

I would say Tasker is probably capable of doing this. I have Tasker set up to do a number of things when I connect to the car dock, so it can't be that much different (I don't have a desk dock)...

Locale works just as well too

I guess I'll check out both tasker and locale.
But just to be clear: I want to keep the screen set to lock (with a PIN) after 1 min. I just don't want it to do so once I place it in the desktop dock (similar to what happens by default when I place it in the car dock) .

Yes, you just set Tasker to perform (or in this case prevent) an action based on a condition (phone is in dock).

You should try Screebl, it reads your phone's sensor and decides to disable lockscreen when your phone is up, and enables lockscreen when your phone is flat on table.

[Q] How to keep scrren on when plugged in?

As we all know, for some bizarre reason Samsung have removed the "Keep screen on while charging" option, and I have been using an app called AnyScreenTimeout to provide this functionality.
However, whenever I switch off my phone and switch it back on again, the "Stay on while plugged in" option in AnyScreenTimeout has become unticked.
I have tried a few different apps which also claim to keep the screen on while plugged in (e.g. Screen Off Timeout), but none of them survive a switch off and on again.
Any ideas? This really bugs me - when I am on mains power, I don't want my screen to turn off.

You could use Tasker (Paid) or Llama (free) and create a profile to disable the screen timeout while charging.
When using Llama just remember to create another profile to enable the timeout again, when diconnected.

Thanks!
I'm actually already using PhoneWeaver as a profile manager and it is able to do what I want. Many thanks for suggesting looking at a profile manager though - I was trying to fix this in totally the wrong way.

also you can use default clock apps.which is already in your G-note.go to desk clock.

How to keep the display on when charging

I keep my N7000 docked in a desktop cradle during the day and would like to keep the display on, but can't find any setting to do this.
On my HTC Desire Z I fixed this with an app called Screen On from pinapps.com, but having installed this ('Enable ScreenOn' and 'On Charge' ticked) the screen still switches off after a period of inactivity.
Sorry - this must have been discussed before, but I wasn't able to find anything.
