Does anyone have a solution for keeping the screen on when wirelessly charging the N6? The problem seems to be that once full the phone stops charging and the screen will turn off. This is annoying when using a Qi dock at night.
Thanks

Have you tried Stay Awake in Settings->Developer Options?

That won't work.
The problem is that the N6 completely stops charging when it reaches 100%. Compare that to the Nexus 5, which would go into "Trickle Charge" mode, but would always show a charging indicator as long as it was on the charger. This one simply stops charging, removing the charge indicator. This causes daydreams to stop (as well as the "Stay Awake when Charging" option), because as far as it's concerned, it's been removed from the charger. Once the N6 reaches 98% (or so), it will start charging again. The phone will come on, and if it stays on long enough, will even go back into daydream mode. However, as soon as it hits 100% charge, it repeats this process.
As far as I know, there's currently no fix for this. Google needs to set the N6 so that it still considers itself to be charging as long as it's on the wireless charger, like the N5 did.

Exactly... Hopefully there'll be a fix for this in the future.
i dont use daydream but i have the option ticked to keep screen on when charging.
i use a qi dock with an indicator on the front. blue when charging. green when not.
when the phone is full, lightning bolt goes away, charge lamp on the qi dock changes to green.
then as it need to "top off" the phone, the chargers lamp goes to blue, lightning bolt on phone pops up. tops off.
rinse. repeat.
what am i missing?
what docks/chargers are you cats using?
I have to same type Qi charger when it's green the screen will turn off after the prescribed time out period. That is my issue and I have keep screen awake while charging on in developers settings. I want the screen to stay on when full, green light on, currently my workaround is Tasker but apps like "Stay Alive" will also work.
Someone has posted a bug report for this issue. Hopefully it will be fixed. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=85538

The problem is, what do we use to end daydream?. In use a qi and this is really annoying me but realistically there's not a lot that can be done without tasker.
Also daydream isn't really the same as "screen on". If the screen doesnt time out, you'll never get to daydream.

Can I ask what settings you have used in Stay Alive? I have tried using it, but my Nexus 6 still turns the screen off once the Qi dock has charged it to 100%.
UPDATE: Sorry, it was me being stupid. I had a Llama task which switched off the screen when the phone went from "charging" to "battery". Once I disabled that task, Stay Alive is working fine and the phone stays on.
Question for you, does the nexus 6 turn the screen on when the charging kicks in?
Picture it connected to a solar charger where you're walking in and out of the sun light..... My nexus 5 would always kick the screen on which would drain my battery.... Nexus 4 didn't do that... When charging I think only an led would light up...
I wouldn't keep the screen on a static image for an extended period of time for any reason, because amoleds burn in.

I'm trying to find out if the Nexus 6 turns the screen on when it's plugged into to charge. Or if the screen stays off when it receives power....

I know you all were wondering where the charging LED is.... Well, you see that little dot in between the micro USB and micro HDMI ports? That's it.
(I apologize for the horrible quality pictures, they were taken with my 3DS.)
As you can see here, the charging LED does not work properly when the phone is on.

When you turn it (fully) off, unplug it and plug it back in, however, it works.
Clear shot.
And, once you turn your phone back on, it goes away.
This is a software bug that a rumored OTA bugfix may address.
Apps like lightfow can allow you to use the notification light for the time being as a charging indicator.
Thank you, I was curious about this myself.

i always used the light as an indication of properly attaching the usb cable, since it can sometimes be cumbersome, especially in the dark, when trying to insert it.
but then, when you use a cradle, who cares?
Not to mention your phone kinda turns on (if its already on) when you insert the charging cable/dock it.
Not true. You can plug the Droid 3 in while it is off, and it will continue to charge while being off without turning the phone on.

technically, yes. but there is actually a program that kicks in, that prevents the phone from completely powering up, and the also displays the sloshy battery icon. AOSP Android would automatically power up the phone.
the only reason your phone doesn't seem to power up is because of Motorola.
mine doesn't show up even I turn off the phone, why...
I've run the battery dead, and plugged it in and never got the charging LED to work. Is my phone defective, or is this still part of that bug? And why did Moto not hard wire this to the USB power. It'd serve as a diode, not letting the charge flow back through the USB cable (like when a laptop goes to sleep when charging) and would be a notifier, not to mention would be cheaper, replacing a diode that is probably already there and not having to use software to control it.
Wow, poor design.

Hi all
Is it just me or after charging the device via Qi Wireless charger, does the battery drain quicker??
I charge mine via QI every night. It get great battery life. No issues at all.

Well I've gone from 49% too 38% in the time it took for you to reply! Reboot sorts it but still!!
Nope, no issues here, if check your battery page and see what is causing the drain. I get a full day of usage even with my heavy usage
It might be the charger. Have you tested it with other phones?
QI chargers actively communicate with phones while they charge them, so it could be that the charger is telling the phone it's getting more power than it actually is.
90% of my charging is done on Qi pad on night stand and I get phenomenal battery life.

Maybe it's just the case of the battery meter being screwy....as it seems to jump hideously...turbo charger is fine.
I get great battery life, I'm on the maxx though, I had the turbo for a month on tmobile. I had to tether for about an hour so it dropped my battery down 15%. But 2.5 hours of SOT and 16 hours off the charger. Connected to my moto 360 as well.

you could have a calibration issue, here's how to fix it;
plug in to your turbo charger,
press and hold the power button till the phone shuts off (on it's own, not just the power off prompt), keep holding the power button,
it will flash a battery icon and then show the charge %, make sure it matches what the os said (if you're mis-calibrated, it will not),
you can turn it back on, but leave it on the turbo charger till it's %100.
Some odd charger methods cause this issue (like usb3.0 ports)..
Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the info. With my phone showing 16% I turned off the phone as you suggested and it immediately showed 75%!! So I'm continuing to charge on Turbo charger.
Is this a known issue then? Any other posts about it and what causes it?

Hi,
My HTC One has started turning Off as it goes below 30% and does not powers up until plugged in to charger. When i plug in charger it shows charging and 0% indication.
How can i rectify this ?
I too have seen that the device does not properly indicate the REAL battery level. Mine usually turns off when I am below 10%.
Yeah I'm sure there's a thread that solves this issue, I'm looking for it too. I've been having crazy battery issues, such as the phone randomly changing it's mind on the battery level. For example if I restart the phone (may have to do with if I was charging it or not) the battery either goes up to max, or sometimes goes down to ZERO and won't even start up (pre reboot it would be near 50%)
I think this happens because of using a ****ed charging cable. I have two main cables that I use, with the original HTC adapter (no longer have the HTC wire though, so I use the one from my Nexus 7). Over time the Nexus cable got damaged, and even data transfer was extremely slow and unreliable.
The funnest part? When I charge my phone and it's at 90%, and I restart and it claims 100%, so I power down and it keeps charging for another 10 minutes or so and finally the LED turns green, only to turn it back on and it claims 97% and keeps charging.

HTC One Turns Off at 30% Battery
I Am facing same issue. when battery level is on 30% then phone goes suddenly off. I have done catch partition in bootloader for calibration of battery but it is not permanent solution. I think there should be permanent battery calibration is solution but I dont know how to do it
My htc one m7 also turn off using 30% battery only i purchased a battery and give it to mobile shop but they are unable to change it and asked me to go htc service centre but i am out of warranty and trying to contact some private service centre its not an issue that can solved by yourself or doing battery calibration now i am using my phone with a 10400 mAh powerbank i will soon contact service centre or buy a phone with removable battery if servicing cost too much

Try another phone shop, any good shop should be able to replace your battery. There is a lot of uni-body phones nowadays, good phone shops know how to deal with them.
Power button does not work but i can still use the phone by using an app to shut off the screen and the hand pass to open up the screen. But my battery life has lessened a lot as I suspect too many apps are functioning in the background that disappeared when I was able to shut off the phone completely while charging overnight. Is there anyway to shut off the phone once in a while and restart it?

I know two ways to re-start it once it's shut off and charged...
1) buy a Qi wireless charger.
Putting it on a Qi charging pad will automatically start the phone (if there's enough battery charge.)
So, actually charge the phone with a turbo charger plug -- then when ready to turn on the phone place it on the Qi wireless charger. I'm not the first to suggest it:
Power button clicks but no response

Imagine you have figured this out by now - but if so then posting for others. Quick fix to turn the phone on when the battery runs out is to use a Qi charger. At this point - have not rooted this phone - I just have to let the battery run out to turn off. I do plan to take apart to try and fix but the above will work.

The Qi Wireless Charger works whether your phone is charged or not.. I went to the Verizon store and asked to see the charger demo'd... I placed my powered off, Fully Charged, Broken -power- button- Droid Turbo on the charger and it Came to life.
I immediately configured the phone with an alternate power button app to control the screen on/off. FYI None of the apps I found will actually power the phone on from off, but will control the screen once it is powered.
I actually tried everything in this forum short of the disassembly of the phone but that was next... the program download.. Reboot Fast Boot; I couldn't get it to download correctly. after about 3 hours I quit... drove to the store and the rest is history. So Glad Not to have Lost everything!..

As for shutting it off, there's probably apps to do that. If not, then just let the battery drain and die.
2) Here's also a bootloader method:

Assuming your phone is powered off , Hold volume down key and connect charger cable. You will get into bootloader screen. Disconnect charger cable and connect phone to PC and use the following fastboot command to boot your device without actually using power button for once.

I only use the triple-coil tilt-style charger pads, as you don't have to worry about positioning the phone whatsoever -- it will hit a charger coil -- but those are still $15 - $20, and you don't need that for your purpose of simply turning on the phone. A single-coil will work, you just have to position it right (with the phone about 2/3 off the hockey puck)
also speaking of apps -- here's this:
Power Button to Volume Button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teliapp.powervolume&hl=en
but it only works to turn off/on the screen when your phone is ON.
twrp
if you are rooted with twrp, the twrp manager in play store will either boot to recovery or shut phone down completely.

Is there any way to automatically stop charging at, for example, 80% without root?
I would also be interested in determining for myself how fast the device is charged, as I use the same two 65 watt cables for everything (laptops, tablet, phones, headphones, ...) and the speed on this phone doesn't exactly feel healthy. Perhaps it is possible to give the required permissions via adb or twrp.

Stopping charging requires a device that has a hardware switch. No software will do it by itself. I recently read that such models have appeared, so look for information.
As for charging, smart chargers adjust the charging current according to the request from the battery controller.
Anyone knows if this option really works ?
From time to time I'm charging the phone overnight with slow charger, 5V, 1A. And sometimes on a morning I have 80% charged only... Will have to try a few more times to confirm. Or it is applying only for continuous charging ?

There's an app for that but i guess it needs root and 65W charger is not always charging at same power, phone will draw the charge according to its battery level.
Just root. You lose nothing. I use "AccA" to manage battery with root.
It is possible to set a charge percentage limit , but on custom rom , not Miui.
I recently switched to Evolution X rom (A12L based) and there's an option for that.
