Alright, I'll keep this short:
I have a galaxy note, and got the docking station just today. Now, I like the dock app that comes up as soon as you dock it, however, the background is standard this blue thing. I change it to a black background in order to save screen lifetime and prevent SuperAmoled burn in.
The problem is though, after a few minutes it goes into a different mode where it rotates the position of the clock and hides that status bar, but then it also changes the background back to the original background, meaning I don't dare leave it in the cradle for hours.
Is there a fix for this? Is it actually harmful to the screen to be on for such extended periods of time?
help.....
Hey everyone.
I use the magnetic dock connector to charge the phone at night, this way i hope i'll preserve the water-tight flap that covers the Micro-USB port.
When the magnet attaches to the phone the phone automatically starts to auto-rotate , even when it's disabled in my settings. I know this has probably something to do with people that use desk-stands with a dock connection, while keeping auto-rotate off.
To me, this is very annoying, because when i charge the phone i use a cable. I try reading/watching movies at night while my phone is charging, but the dock-enabled-auto-rotate does the rotation in all four directions.
Is there any way to bypass thing mildly annoying feature?
Thanks a bunch.
Yes very annoying this is. I suspect it's not possible to disks rotation consisting the only official magnetic charger Sony supply is for the dock whereby the device is connected horizontally hence rotation is required. By that logic I'd say no (for now)
Has anyone figured out how to make the phone stay in dock mode when the wireless charging hits 100%? I am getting tired of my phone pulsating throughout the night as it turns off at 100% and turns back on at 98%. My clock app goes away when the charging turns off and lights up my room like daylight. I have tried using tasker and the magnetic field sensor, but that is not very reliable. I have tried other tasker profiles but can't seem to figure out a good mix of variables. I also tried using an NFC tag on the dock and the app Trigger to start the app, but that only works when I first put it on the charger. It doesn't have an Exit Task like Tasker does.
This is really annoying and a pretty crappy "feature". Anyone?

use niteclock free
works great for me make sure you get this one:
Night Clock by
Gubbel
Can I ask why you suggest that one? I have a couple alarm apps that I could probably just open myself, but I'd like to be able to put my phone on the charger and have it open automatically and stay open until I take it off the charger. Does Night Clock have settings for this kind of situation?

a few reasons:
1: first it works with wireless charging on my nigntstand
2: turns off hard buttons
3: dims to my liking per settings
4: moves as a screensvaer
5 most important stays on after charger is full
I suppose a round-about way of solving this problem is to just use a wired charger, and save the wireless one for your desk or something, so that you don't have to worry about it acting up in the middle of the night. There's no terrific advantage to having wireless charging, IMO, so just be practical and use the wire.

I would do that if they made a dock for the Turbo. Unfortunately, Motorola doesn't put out docks for their phones like they used to. Now you have to buy a generic one that doesn't fit properly. I ended up creating a Tasker task that opens my clock app and doesn't allow it to close, so I have to close the app manually every morning but that's just being picky. It works pretty well, so I'm happy now.

I'm having trouble getting tasker to see my dock. What settings you have the mag sensor set to. And are you able to get the clock to go into night mode?

I just set Tasker to launch my clock app (Dock Clock Plus) when it detects wireless charging. I tried to use the mag sensor, but I could never get consistent results. The Dock Clock Plus app has a setting to go to night mode automatically at certain times. So I have it set for night mode from 9pm to 8am. So if I dock my phone outside those times, it stays bright.
I really like the idea of using the magnetic charger as my main source of charging. But using the magnetic cable has caused some big annoyances. First of all, the screen rotation. My display setting is always set to portrait lock, but when using the magnetic charger it ignores it and rotates the screen 360 degrees. I even installed the xposed module 'disable desktop lock'(made for z1) with no succes. And secondly, most apps restart or chrome pages reload when inserting or removing the charger. Even though YouTube doesnt seem to behave this way.
I think these behaviours are built in features for the charger dock but since I'm using the charger cable these features seem useless and are simply annoying.
I can't find anyway to disable them. Does anybody experience these same issues, and is there anyway to disable them?
EDIT:
sorry, just fount that the xposed module 'disable desktop lock' has been recompiled for the z3c. this solves both issues. see llink to original post.

I just got this watch yesterday. When I first placed it on the charging cradle, it would make a little chime when it started charging, the screen would rotate, and it would show a clock and the charging percentage.
It didn't ship with the latest Android version. After it charged a bit, I got the notice that there was a system update. I installed it and everything went fine and it updated to build NQF430.
Now I'm noticing that when I place it on the charger, it no longer makes a sound and the screen doesn't rotate. I'm not 100% sure it was related to the update as I didn't notice right away, but I am sure that at the moment, the sound and charging screen showing the clock and battery percentage have disappeared.
It is charging just fine and if I wake it, I see the lightning bolt icon at the top, but there's no longer any special charging screen.
Note that I have "always on" disabled, but even if I enable it, when the watch is on the charger, it just dims to the ambient version of the watchface, not a special charging screen.
Am I missing something here? Is there some setting to bring back the clock functionality?
