a problem with sleeping iGo

Hello everybody,
I've got a problem with navigation iGo 8.3 on HD2. When I wanna navigate, my display is going sleep after some time (about 10s). That interval is ok with normal use (in system), but not with navigation ofcourse. Is there any cab for "never sleeping iGo" please? I didn't found anything like that.... please help.
Thaks.
There's no cab file needed. just go to settings -> device settings -> power management -> change the default setting to "always on" and you're done.

[Trick] Make AOD useful again

So you tried AOD (Always On Display) on your favorite Port ROM, you like it but you don't use it anymore because of battery issue.
A way to avoid this would be, like application bases AOD do, to enable this feature only if the phone is on charge. Unfortunatly, this settings is not available. I found a way (somewhere, by somebody else, all credit to him) using Tasker to do it:
Once you have Tasker and Secure Settings (paid apps, but in my opinion, really worth it if you like customizing your device), open Tasker and do the following :
1. On the Tasks tab, create a new task called for example ‘AOD On’
2. In that new task, add an action (Category = Plugin, then Secure Settings)
3. Edit the configuration in the new screen and select Actions => Device Setting
4. In that screen, the Setting Table should stay at ‘system’, and the Setting Name should be ‘aod_mode’. The Setting Value should be set to ’1′.
5. Save the task and create another task with the same steps but call it ‘AOD Off’ and set the Setting Value to ’0′.
6. Once both tasks have been created, go to the Profiles Tab and create a new profile and select ‘State’.
7. Select state category => Power => Power
8. Leave Source as Any, and Invert unchecked.
9. Save the profile, choose the correct task (‘AOD On’), call it ‘Charging’ for example
10. Create a second profile called ‘Not Charging’ exactly the same way but with the ‘Invert’ of step 8 checked, and select the task ‘AOD Off’.
UPDATE : Solution No2 (+ disable AOD when battery is low)
1. Download this app (paid),
2. Don't forget to select the features you want to enable,
3. Thanks @erghetto in post #2 !
4. Voila !
Both solutions works fine on my S8 port. AOD becomes useful again !!!

Well honestly I tried all app based AOD and it's like lock screen app : more features, nice looking but not so well implemented that stock (security, look and feel, Speed...).
But if you are ok with it...

Maybe you didn't even open that link.
It is an app that simply activates aod only when phone is in charge (plus another feature)
So no need to download tasker or any other app.
It is paid, but also one app you suggests need be payed, so this one is simpler and doesn't require any configuration with tasker or similar

Ok, ok, I see, you're right, it's a good alternative. Now it depends if you already use Tasker or not, but for people who don't and don't want to bother with all Tasker settings, that's a nice app I didn't know !

[GUIDE] How to turn on your phone without using your hands [S8/S8+][Other devices]

[UPDATED]
Hello guys,
A little introduction:
I'm an XDA user for quite a while now, but never started an own thread. As I like playing with mods like Xposed, magisk or, in this case Tasker, I'd like to share my profile with those who find it handy too. Also I think there're way more advanced tasker guides and tricks and this is rather easy, but I'd love to share it anyways with you
What does this profile do?
It's pretty simple and basic. This profile lets you magically wake your phone with holding your hand (for example) close to the approximity sensor, but also (only on S8/S8+) trigger the Iris scanner, which would usually need to be tapped on, since Samsung doesn't allow 3rd-party apps to wake the phone! But we'll get this anyways But here's a video. You will see what I mean:
Click here for YT video (XDA embedding doesn't seem to work here)
Requirements:
Magisk (root) (*note: If you have rooted your phone with another method Secure Settings won't work, due to lack of development)
Secure Settings (*note: If you know another tasker plug-in, which can wake the device feel free to take that)
Tasker of course
Within Tasker you need to set proximity sensor (Under UI) to "yes". This ensures, that the sensor won't be killed from doze or anything else
And of course you need a working Secure Settings App. Make sure System+ module is active and granted root (Works very well with Magisk). Because it's enabled by default, it might be necessary to disable and re-enable it
If you meet all the requirements: Let's start
So step 1 : Create a new profile in Tasker with 3 status:
Sensor -> Proximity sensor
Display [Turned off]
Variable -> Variable value = %ONLYONCE to Undone (This is important, so the screen will be woken up only once after you turned off your device and not every time you put your hands to the sensor)
Name the executed task "Wake device" for example and let it run: (Go on in step 2)
Step 2: The executing task of the profile you just created should run this:
Task -> Wait = 350ms (adjustable to your needs)
Plug-In -> Secure Settings -> Configuration -> Wake device = Screen dim 15 seconds (adjustable)
Variable -> Set variable -> %ONLYONCE to Done
Code -> Run shell -> Command = "input tap 840 190" (No quotation marks) [Use root = yes] (*note: this creates a tap input, as if you were tapping on that specific spot, and triggers the Iris scanner. Also make sure that tasker has root privileges)
Step 3: Create a 2nd profile with the event Display -> Device unlocked
The executed task to this profile should be:
Task -> Wait = 3 seconds
Variable -> Set Variable -> %ONLYONCE to Undone
And that's about it Any time you wave your hand over the proximity sensor now or let's say pull it out of your pocket the screen goes on, the Iris scanner is triggered and your phone unlocks
Please hit the thanks button if you could find any benefit of this Guide and the profile and please feel free to leave some feedback You can also import the profile to your tasker. I attached it at the bottom
*Note: All iris scanner related tasks and profiles can be adjusted to devices without Iris scanners, but this profile isn't that handy on other devices apparently

Tasker keep screen on Android 12 issue

Hi,
I have set up the display timeout option with the settings below but it doesn't seem to work. I am using an oppo phone on Android 12.
Create a new task. Select the “+” button. Select “Display” followed by “Display timeout” Select the time span you want to set and then save. Now select “Profile” and click “+” and then “Applications” Mark the applications for which you want to activate this Tasker profile.
Then I open the app but after 15 seconds the screen turns off which is the default device screen timeout.
Is there no way to override this? Maybe get tasker to somehow keep interacting with the screen to keep it on?
I've tried this on a few apps and have got two different messages..
One says screen will stay on for 15 seconds which is the system screen time out.
Other says tasker will keep screen on but still times out after 15 seconds.
Really want this to work as some apps like games I don't want timing out after 15 seconds and I don't want to increase the system time to couple of mins for every app.
Hi,
I have the same problem on my OPPO A74 with Android 11 ((ColorOS Version V11.1). It seems impossible to create a task to change the screen time out; not in connection with a profile, shortcut or widget. The amazing thing, though - when you test the task in Tasker it works perfectly fine.
Media Volume, I think, also doesn't work. Other app connected profiles like autorotate or display brightness work well. I wanted to test more but I can't find the time.
I really miss the screen timeout though. It drains the battery too much to set it constantly to 15 minutes or so, but for some apps less simply is annoying.
The developer created some apk to help with some OPPO related problems, unfortunately, it didn't help with this one (sorry, I can't remember exactly what it was).
A kind of workaround: Once you've activated the Developer Options an your phone you can enable "Keep screen on while charging". When you need longer screen time, just plug into a charger.
But using a Tasker Profile would be much nicer.
Hope somebody knows a better trick.
Not sure if following could help your situation ( only for your gaming situation )
Create a new Profile, choose > apps > add your game apps in it. click left top arrow when finisning add gaming apps.
Tasker will pops-up task list > creat new task > Screen > Turn on.
** when above profile is complete , click the task when you are still in Profile list. Hold the task, it should pops-up with option exit task. Choose this as exit task.
Play around to see if this profile is working when gaming apps in foreground, screen never turn off.
EDIT: Try first not move the task as exit task. ( make the task as normal entry task )

Thanks for your reply.
Creating the profile is not the problem. It just seems that Tasker cannot change the system's setting. As mentioned, there is no problem when you create a profile allowing the screen to rotate using a speciffic app (and others as well ) I have no idea, why it does not work for the screen timeout.

I use no screen timeout, I use "screen turn on" in your situation as my op., enough I've not tried it on my Samsung A71.

"Display / turn on" works fine when I want the screen to turn on with a notification. But the screen turns dark after the system timeout has passed. I've also tried "Display / Stay On / with Wireless, AC or USB Power" and with the AutoInput Plugin "Screen Off Or On: Turn On / Timeout Never" but the screen always turns dark.
Those Profiles always worked on my other Smartphones (LG -D405, LG-K10 and Moto G6). I believe, it's the ColorOs that's causing the trouble.

below is a task ONLY FOR ROOTED DEVICE., no harm to try even if your's not root.
New task , run shell command , in the command input
there is a button 'use root' , check that button also.
settings put system screen_off_timeout 200000
** 200000 I'm not sure sure equals to how many second., just give it a try and if you get a longer screen on time from your issue it means it is working.
also, make another separate task, search for 'custom setting'. look up from there I thingk it is in system something about screen timeout.
EDIT: run shell command task suggest you run it manually., than see if it works. if not, restart device to check if it requires a restart in order to accept new timeout settings.

I feel like I'm in Star Trek - "To boldly go, where no one has gone before" XD
When I try your suggestion, I only receive the message that my device isn't rooted.
Btw, for some tasks it is necessary to enable the Write Secure Setting Permission (f.e. Set Assistant), where xou have to setup ADB on your PC. Would such a procedure be registered by the phone as rooting? Anyway, I don't think I would dare to do something I know so little of.
Another solution I was thinking of, is it possible to create a tasker quick tile/ quick setting to change the system screen timeout.
So instead of having it change for certain apps which isn't working at the moment.
Maybe if we can change it from the system so will be for all apps. You can create two separate quick tiles to toggle between different screen timeout settings.
The newest version of Tasker (6.0.9) comes with Tasky.
Tasky offers the possibility to activate premade profiles. One of them is "Keep Display Awake For Apps". And that one works with my OPPO Phone.
I also tried "Auto-Mute Apps", another profile I couldn't get working. It also works fine.
To switch between Tasker and Tasky you just have to click on the "Three-Dots-Button" in the right top corner. It's not like switching apps but using different user interfaces.
Good luck!
- Sorry to say, but this seems to work for some apps and not for others. But at least sometimes it does work.
Thanks for replying back to this thread to inform me. I tried it and it works for the app I was trying to make it work for which is good! Makes it so much easier now.
