Is there a way to disable the hdmi output?
If I leave the phone connected with the hdmi cable connected the battery drains very fast (more than 10%/hour).
Do you know any app that can do this, or is this option on any of the roms available. By the way I'm on AT&T stock JB with root.
Thanks in advance
Unplug the hdmi cord? Your question doesn't really make sense lol.

It actually does
I'm using the AHD hardwired in the car, and connected to the factory fitted screen.
Well you didn't say that and you also didn't specify turning the screen off on the phone. Just said disable hdmi. As in disable the hdmi port. So no that doesn't make sense. Screen standby from the play store. Your welcome.

But that's exactly what I was asking: disable the hdmi output.
I'm already using the Screen standby app to disable the phone screen.
The problem is that since the hdmi cable is connected, the phone is always providing power through the cable, and that drains the battery very fast.
I have setup Tasker to deal with the phone charging, or not, and that enables everything or puts the phone in airplane mode... but even with everything shutdown, and setting the CPU maximum frequency to the minimum and power saving to governor I'm getting massive battery drain.

Title says it all...
When you plug in the nook color the screen wont turn off in Cyanogen Mod... This isn't good when you are using <2 amp charging (say 500 mA from standard usb) as the screen uses more power then the charge provides... so it actually drains the battery. Any ideas?
When you say it will not turn off, do you still have a display or just the backlight? When I am charging my nook in standby, I have noticed that the backlight will remain on until I tap the power button. That gives me a black screen

I noticed that recently with one of the later nightlies. I can still power off while charging though, can you?
I put it in sleep, I don't turn it off.
Same problem here. I just turn have to remind myself to manually turn it off whenever I plug it in. Probably some kernel bug or something?
Not a huge problem though. =)

Turn the screen off by hitting the power button.
This is not a bug but a workaround for a kernel bug. We fixed a bug that would cause kernel panic if you let the device sleep while plugged into USB. However, it would still eventually kill ADB so for now I start a partial wake lock when connected to USB.
Just wondering when this might be fixed? Having to worry about the screen being left on when plugged in is a problem for me. I normally charge my Nook from a standard usb. If the screen is on it drains the battery.

When what might be fixed? As Dal just said, this IS the fix for the time being. And it isn't a worry. Just plug it in, and hit the power button; your screen will turn off, and you will be good to go.

The fact it sounded like a temp fix "for the time being" is why I asked about timing. Turning the screen off is fine but I have had one case where the screen turned back on during the night and I woke to a nook that was almost dead even though it was plugged in all night. Even an answer like planned for next RC or for the final release of 7.1 would be helpful.
If there is not fix coming it would be nice to know that too.
I appreciate everything that has been done for the nook and enjoy using it as a tablet.
Using the high capacity cable is not an option. I have tried two in my nook and one would not charge it all and the second was very hard to plug and would sometimes charge it. A standard USB cable has always worked fine. I have read about bad high capacity cables taking out more than one nook so I won't even go there anymore.
Have this been solved somehow?
I have recently mounted my Nook Color on the kitchen wall and it is annoying to manually having to push the power button to turn off the screen, instead of having the screen turn off automatically after a specified time.
Hi,
Wondering if anyone experienced these two issues with an AHD that has been rooted, has an unlocked bootloader, and running CM10.1 or stock rom:
1) I can power down my Atrix HD from the power menu and it stays off. As soon as I connect my AHD to a usb cable that is connected to my running Win7 computer or wall charger, the phone will power up and boot to the desktop on its own; and
2) when my AHD is running and connected to my running Win7 PC or wall charger, I can select power off from the power menu and the phone will power down and immediately power up again and boot to the desktop. It will not stay off unless it is not connected to my PC or charger.
Other than these two issues, the phone seems to work perfectly. I don't recall the phone exhibiting this behaviour until after rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
The phone just likes to power up when it's connected...
That's what it does... In fact, that's what it *always* does. (For me... and for most phones out there...)
IIRC it does this for every rom... For me, it just boots to a screen showing current battery...

For me, it boots completely to the desktop for every custom rom I have tried and on the stock Bell 4.1.2 stock too.

Yup, my experience too... Scared me a few times while trying to get back to stock, but as soon as it's unplugged, it does what I'm asking it to do... Appears to be the M.O. of the phone...

Had the same issue with my sister-in-law's phone that had an xpal charging case. Figured it out and it seemed to be a specific charger I was using on it. Switched to the one that came with the phone and it stopped rebooting. Haven't seen the laptop connection thing.

Weird, but when the phone is off, and I connect it to my Samsung charger, it cuases the phone to power up but the screen becomes a bunch of coloured dots on a white background and it doesn't boot to the Carbon rom desktop. When the phone is off and I connect the USB cable from a charger designed for my Logitech Harmony remote or a usb cable connected to my PC, the phone boots normally.
I'll try it with a Motorola charger tomorrow.
I would. May be the other cables or chargers are higher voltage? Either way, good luck.

Looks like it's an issue with the Carbon rom. I restored to stock JB and it does not reboot with a stock rom while connected to a wall charger in that it powers down and shows the battery charging symbol. With stock JB and connected to my computer, it still restarts.
Not a big deal since I rarely, if ever, turn off my phone. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm going back to Carbon rom as it's faster than the stock 4.1.2.
I saw in the packaging that it says AC power is "recommended", so naturally I wanted the best possible experience and hooked mine up with AC power. I was just curious why this is? It would be much easier (and more portable) if I just used USB, but what am I losing by doing this?
I assumed this had to do with the CEC options to allow my TV to power on thru the Chromecast, however I have been unsuccessful in making that work fully. It will turn the TV on only if I turned it off while on the correct input for the chromecast...so kinda useless so far.

USB power might not be enough to drive the usb stick, while that AC adapter is guaranteed to deliver 850mAh
if your TV's USB is part of an unpowered hub, and you have other devices(or internal devices) powering off that hub, the chromecast might not get enough amperage (500mAh/port per USB standard)
Cool what would be the result of not enough mAh? Meaning if my USB port powers the device am I good, or will I suffer some Wi-Fi signal loss if the mAh is too low?

I think it just wouldn't turn on.
Another benefit of AC power is that when you hit cast something, it'll automatically turn on the TV.
That is what I was curious of. So the auto turn on feature won't function on USB power? Only A/C power?

Well the chromecast needs to be on already for it to turn on the TV.
If the TV is off, the chromecast won't be getting any power so you need to turn on the TV to turn on the Chromecast.
Right, not a big deal for me since that feature doesn't seem to work on my TV anyways. I am using AC power atm. If that's all I'm missing I might aim for portability.
Thanks

Hey there. New around the Kindle Fire HD parts as I haven't actually received mine yet..
But, I was curious as to whether you guys could answer a question for me!
If you have your Kindle Fire HD turned off and then apply power to it through the USB, does it turn on? I mean on as boots into Android, not simply displays a charging screen of some sort.
Are you on Stock or the unlocked bootloader?
And lastly, I doubt anyone has tried this.. but I might as well ask! Has anyone tried to remove the battery from the Fire HD and turn it on using only power from USB?
Appreciate the answers.

Hey there as well. In answer to your questions...
1.) Yep. It does power on when you plug in USB. No charging screen, just the whole OS (unless there's not enough power to boot Android, in which case yes, there is a charging screen).
2.) I have the second bootloader installed, with Chameleon OS installed.
3.) As for opening up the Kindle.. that's a gray area for me. If I knew what I was doing, I'd open her up, but I don't know if I'd be able to get her back together. Lol
Hope this helped

When you say "unless there's not enough power to boot Android.." do you mean the battery needs some level of charge before the tablet turns on?
For instance, if I left the tablet on and drained it down to 1%, then plugged it in, would the tablet boot straight into Android or would I get a charge screen?

If you drained the battery (and some ROMs do that in a bad way), the Kindle will only show a charging screen (at least mine does). However, I can't remember if this was when I was on Stock OS or on a different ROM.
So yeah, it does seem to need some level of charge before Android will boot.

Awesome. Appreciate all of the info. I'll see if I can't set Tasker up to turn off the device when the power is removed. If that doesn't work, I'll go build my own version of Android that changes the battery shut off percentage to something high enough to make sure it will turn on as soon as power is applied.
Thanks again for all of the info!
I have a tylt wireless charger that I keep my Turbo on at work, and every time I take the phone off and set it back down, I get the full screen notification that wireless charging is detected and to make sure my phone is centered on the charger. It gets really annoying, and I wasnt able to find any setting of where this message/screen can be turned off. At first I thought it was one of those training things that only bugs you the first few times, but nope, 2 months..
Any suggestions?
Sorry, I have no solution but I just wanted to agree and say that this animation is really not necessary. Maybe the first few times, yeah, but not every time. I miss being able to customize things with root and custom roms. I did notice that after the latest firmware update, it no longer unlocks to the home screen after you set it on the charger. It will now stay on the lock screen if it is locked when you set it down to charge. It is an improvement, although a minor one.
On the bright side it doesn't make a god awful sound like the Droid Maxx did. Hopefully it gets root soon and this can be disabled.
Quick question for you guys: I'm using the Tylt at work too, is it just me or does it take FOREVER to get a full charge?

So on my wireless charger, I actually have to use the TURBO charger or it will not work. My charging times are not terribly slower, at least during the TURBO phase, at the top off phase it is a bit slower, but not bad. Maybe try the TURBO brick and see if that helps.
I'm currently using a wireless charger that doesn't display that dialog. All of the others that I use trigger the placement dialog. Strange!
This is similar to the stupid volume notification every time you turn up the headphones volume close to max. A Don't show this again check box would work wonders in both these situations

I figured out an easy way to disable this notification on my Droid Turbo 2. All you have to do is go into your Apps list, show the system apps, find the "Inductive Charger" app, and DISABLE it. Inductive charging still works just fine, but no more annoying pop-up.

Fricken genius. Works for the moto z2 as well. Also disables the annoying sound with it. AWESOME FIND!
