I've tried relentlessly to find a way to keep the screen on while charging, to practically no avail.
I ended up installing an app called "Stay Awake", which worked in theory, however, after 5 seconds the screen adjusts to the dimmest setting which is nearly impossible to read unless you are in a dark room.
Without that app running nothing else works to keep the screen on during charging.
Anyone solved this issue yet?
Thanks
Why do you want to keep it on? There are some clock apps that i think do this. But not 100% on that.

I use it to stream music to my car stereo using Winamp. Its aggravating to have to turn the screen back on everytime I want to change the song/station.

What I described above is what happens with auto brightness off. After 5 or 6 seconds the screen dims, but stays on, which is fine at night, but during the day its unreadable.

You need a car dock app then. Dashdroid used to do it. Been years since i used one. But check out dock apps.
I recently came across a setting in Settings/Developer options/Stay awake. Perhaps that would do the trick

Did you enable the Developer settings by tapping repeatedly on the build number in settings? I have the setting on my Note 3. Or do you mean it doesn't really do the trick? Sorry lol

Try Screen Timeout Toggle. Great little app that worked for me when I needed this feature while on my Note 2.

The setting is under the developer options screen. (If you don't have developer options enabled go to settings->about device and tap on build number about 10 times. (half way thru tapping you'll see a pop up telling you how many taps are left))

Hello,
I have a problem and I want to ask if somebody may have had it too. My screen sometimes with no apparent reason does not turn off after the one minute I had set in display settings, it does not turn off at all when I am not using it, It goes off if i press the power button but not by itself, and the problem goes away if I reboot my device but then it happens again (not so often)... Do you guys know what it is?
Does this happen when the device is perfectly still....or when it's being vibrated...like in a car. Could be staying on cause it thinks you're using it.
Just a guess.

Thanks for the replay . It happens sometimes when it is perfectly still. Never happens to me on a car.
I'm stumped then, sorry. ?
Presuming you don't have an app such as profile scheduler, etc, which will override the settings for what you set the particular profile to, though I would guess most apps wouldn't have a "no screen timeout" setting -and presuming no app such as Screen On which would keep the screen on, but only with apps you select

Hello and Happy Turkeyday to all. I have an issue with my wife's note. When she gets any notifications they turn the screen on and it doesn't turn off. I feel pretty knowledgeable about the android O.S. in a whole, I have my S5 rooted and running AICP. I just can't figure out why the notifications cause the screen to stay on. Has anyone else had this problem maybe you could help shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.
Is the phone rooted?

No she won't let me root her phone.
Same problem
I have the exact same problem on my Note 4 (N910F).
My phone is rooted and I have had the problem from the start.
I am also running a custom kernel now but the problem persists.
Any ideas on why this is happening anyone? I've got it to not turn the screen on for a notification but now it won't turn off when plugged in.
Turn off the lock screen notifications, or everything you can on the lock screen settings, most likely something is causing the screen to wake lock. My bet is the weather widget.

So a little update, so far, my problem seems to be fixed.
After the app told me that Dsploit was causing a lot of screen-on time, I disabled the app.
Haven't had it happen so far today so I hope this helps you too.

Can anyone else have other fix? I have new note 4 with rom stock and very few apps (5-8 apps)
the "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery" app requird root this not my phone so I can't root for now.
If you have very few apps installed, uninstall those apps one by one to see which one is potentially keeping the screen on. Otherwise, do a factory reset, clear cache; also ensure power button is sticky and is fully functional.

And set the Screen time to 30 sec and shut down the deivce got the battery out turn on, set the Screen time to 1 min and shut down...
a few times in the end got it back to the time I want, all of this fore "soft" reset the database of the settings
..now for about a week+ the problems won't show again :highfive:
Boot into recovery and clear cache
or factory reset like everyone said
Great to hear all is well. Please tell me that you're going to root.

Using lightflow for Y messenger. Not sure why. I''m headed to work and can't investigate right now. But I will...
Update: once you enable the mixer, a setting appears allowing for an app controlled flash. It was selected in the y messenger. I selected it in a couple other app's notifications and it does indeed work.
So you're saying you have blinking LED notification? The holy unicorn of features our brethren have been hunting for a long time now?
I saw it originally out of the corner of my eye and paid no attention to it until I saw it again. Then I watched for it.

Cause I swear to god, if this is the elusive hidden blinking, you're gonna be a hero.

Been blinking on LightFlow like this for over 7 months now. Across several different roms. Where have you guys been Rip-Van-Winkleing?
Glad you discovered it. Welcome to the club. Kinda like finding a treasure chest of doubloons, isn't it?

Any specific settings? I got it flashing. But it's all 3 colors at once. I can't get just one color only.
In the mixer, turn off the LEDs you don't want.

And went from there.
I tired turning off the ones I didn't want. No matter what I did, all colors came on.
It's ok though. I decided not to go with this in the end because the notification would only blink for 3 minutes. Once the phone started going into Doze mode. It killed the LED. Even with the Deep Sleep force mode active in the app.

Does it have an effect on battery life? Does it blink even in deep sleep, and do you have to enable wakelocks in Lightflow settings?

In LightFlow you can set it to disable on sleep either by time schedule or when "priority" or "none" (silent) interruptions are set. I have seen no noticeable adverse effects on battery drain.

Battery life wasn't a concern really. It was the LED being turned off completely once Doze kicked in. Even allowing Lightflow to not be turned off by Doze under the "Optimization" menu in Battery.
Maybe I'll try it again someday. For now though it's not something I want to fight with on my phone haha.
I don't have the mixer setting in mine
This question is a bit unrelated to this thread, but sort of in the same vicinity. I'm an N6 first-time user, and since I am unable to find a user manual for this device, I am desperately trying to find out what the "thing" is on the left side of the upper speaker. It looks like a hidden LED (not the hidden one under the speaker bar), just on the top left. Does anyone know?
Its the proximity sensor.

Hi!
As i wrote, the screen just turning on without doing nothing.
I'm not touching...Only move it within my palms and the screen turnes on.
Anyone heard about that?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
It's called ambient display. Makes your screen turn on when the phone is moved after your screen turns off.
Basicly a replacement for the lack of a led light(talking non rooted non custom rom here)
OR.. it could also be an app, thats turning your screen on. there are many apps that do this, you should read your apps permissions.
Just turned off ambient display.
But...does it mean that now I wont get any notifications during phone at sleep?
Tnx!
Ambient display doesn't use much extra battery, it only illuminates the pixels its displaying and it keep the phone in a low power state.
It is your phone's stock visual notification system, so yes if you turn it off you won't get any visual notifications. If your phone is set to vibrate or make notification noises it will still do that. The phone does have an LED behind the speaker, so if you are rooted you can install something like lightflow to use your phone's LED for notifications instead/as well.

I don't use light flow, but I have heard of many having issues using that app. what I use is s ROM that allows for colored notifications, then I set my colors within the ROMs options. BTW, pure nexus ROM.

oh snap, I just realized this is the same guy who was posting in the lightflow tutorial thread and was told how to do it multiple times.
He does not have "run all commands as root" check in the settings, and insist its not an option. He just needs to go through the settings and enable that like the popup window when you first launch light flow tells you.
You gotta look through your settings man. I don't know what else to tell you, I don't use that app anymore but I have. And unless you go through all the options in the settings menu... The app isn't going to be able to write to the kernels file system to turn the light on.
Maybe I'll just flash the pure nexus ROM.
I just dont get how to use this App.
Tnx!
I don't want to sound mean but if you Cant figure an app out I don't think you should be flashing ROMs

He said in another thread that he bought it... but that doesn't matter. I don't and I used it via the options I stated to have LED notification for basic stuff.
I have a question regarding ambient display. I know how it works and all that stuff, however, how many time the phone wakes up with the black/white screen? Because mine gets a notification, it shows it to me then without doing nothing it shows the notification again and again, every minute I guess for a long time. Is this normal?
Yes thats normal. Just like a notification LED will stay on, Ambient Display will show every now and again until you acknowledge the notification in case you missed it. Again, it uses almost no battery to do this, I have used the phone with it on and with it off and never really notice a difference.

Hi,
Letting u know that for some reasson i dono - it still just dont work.
Super wierd.
What I would like to have happen is have the clock go into night mode when: wirelessly charging, connected to a specific wifi network, and to start and end at specific times.
I've been messing around with this and can't figure it out for the life of me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

where exactly are you stuck at?
Basically the whole thing... I created a profile called night mode to turn on and off at certain hours.
In the tasks tab, I've tried to set up the wifi network, but don't see a variable for specifying being connected to it, nor do I see anything for the battery charging wirelessly.
A couple you tube videos later and I'm scratching my head harder.

so for the Wi-Fi part:
- there is the state 'Wi-Fi connected' to activate when you are connected
- you can use 'test net' to store ssid to a variable, then check it for a match with certain ssid, with which you want the profile to react to - only do when connected to certain Wi-Fi.
I don't have wireless charge so I cannot say anything here, but if I remember correctly, recent update of Tasker has included detection of this, so too should bff able to sound something useful in those states or events.
Then finally, in the clock app, you can either try to use intent or simulate taps to switch it to night clock.
After that, hopefully you will be happy with the result
Thank you sir. I will give those a shot

what is your solution so far?
for connecting to Wi-Fi, sometimes it does not connect without screen on though, and I still have not figured that out.
Rather than try to explain it, these are my set ups.
Didn't seem to work as I wanted until I added the the, If lines to tasks 2and 3.
Still gotta unlock the phone to start the process though.

I did use root. Had to add the if statement at the bottom for. Both tasks are the same aside from the input tap x y numbers
PS.. If I remove the pattern lock, it will work the way I want(ed) it to. Not worth it to do that IMO.
