Hi all,
When I charge my HP TP running CM9 nightly, a clock screen is displayed automatically. I note that after my screen time out period of five minutes, the screen does power off, however when I wake up in the morning the screen is on displaying the clock screen - I guess email or some other notifications turn the screen back on.
Basically, can I change the behaviour so that when I put the TP onto the Touchstone, nothing special happens and this clock isn't displayed? I have an app that switches the screen off when the case is closed, and essentially this charging behaviour is interfering with this. I don't want the TP clock blazing away lighting the screen up all night.
Thanks,
Andy
Wow some refuse to do any work on their own....
If you want to shut the screen down all you have to do is hit the power button and the screen shuts down
As far as the Desk Clock app... You simply go into app manager and clear the defaults for it

Thank you for your reply - unfortunately the option to clear defaults for the clock is greyed out.

I'm puzzled by your sarcasm - no, I can't figure this out by myself as I can't identify the configurable part of android that triggers this clock front end. I had Googled it but I can't find a suitable answer there either. Whilst I can shut the screen off with the power button, as per my original post when I wake up in the morning the screen has come back on.
Cheers!

Then you have something installed waking your TP that we have no way of troubleshooting without some type of log.... when you shut the screen down there is no reason for Android to turn it back on unless YOU have EXPLICITLY given an app YOU installed permission to do so. As far as the clock... when you set the TP on the Touchstone one of two things happens... a dialog box comes up with the apps that can by default be activated when placed on Touchstone OR YOU HAVE designated a default app to do this....
Now if YOU can't remember which app YOU ALLOWED to run then you have one of two choices.... go through all the apps in app manager clearing all defaults OR wipe all data and start from scratch and pay attention to what you press this time

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately you are wrong.
I only have the clock app installed that triggers when the device docks - no other apps respond to this event, therefore when I dock the device I don't get presented with the option/choice, it just displays the clock as there is no alternative. I've found the best solution to be to install 'Screen Off ' from the market. This has an option to act on the dock event, and now when I put the device on the dock I get given the choice as to whether to show the clock or to power off the screen. This works pretty much perfectly, and without the clock showing the screen stays off, instead of coming back on randomly after I shut it off - therefore, I don't think that the clock was coming back on before due to notifications from apps/emails, but be cause the clock app itself was triggering - possibly when the device reaches full charge or something and temporarily disconnects from the dock or something, I don't know. In summary, you need more than one app installed that is coded to respond to the dock event, otherwise when you dock the device android just defaults to the dock event and powers the screen back on periodically. I have never explicitly enabled this behaviour, and without installing another app it seemingly cannot be changed or disabled.
I thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, but I think you should learn something from this thread - just because a problem may seem to be user error doesn't necessarily mean that it is - your post is completely wrong which is fine as I appreciate that you are just trying to help, but by getting all aggressive over it you've just ended up looking a little stupid. The forums should be all about helping people, not ridiculing them - hopefully this post will serve to help anyone out with a similar predicament.
Cheers.
Ignore cdzo72 - he's one of the most sarcastic members of this forum. He seems to have a hate on for anyone who has an issue with anything, and can't solve it for themselves. You get used to him, and ignoring him.
I'm glad you found your solution.
Thanks for posting that man, beginning to think it was just me. Guess every forum has one - hopefully if anyone else comes across this thread it might solve their problem too.

The clock app doesn't trigger itself. Mine charges all night and never turns back on. That said, it is almost impossible to move the pad while it's on the TS without charge disconnecting and reconnecting. And that will trigger the clock app. So, if you have the TS on an unstable surface that allows ir to be inadvertently "jiggled", that could cause the clock to turn back on.

Hey Man,
I don't know if it affects other devices to be honest. On my phone the clock app is configurable, but on my Cyanogenmod9 HP TP tablet it isn't something that you can change the behaviour of (if you tap the stock 'Clock' app it just locks the screen and displays a clock, you cant set any options like on my SGSII). I don't know if this is a feature of tablet OS'es in general, or just the CM iteration of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Either way, the 'Screen Off' app references working with a number of docks (blurb specifically references Sony ones) so I'd give it a shot and hopefully it will work for you.
I had that problem too, it was very annoying. I installed dock no op from the market and it finally stopped waking me up. That seems like the only option since cm9 doesn't let you set the dock behavior.

Hello,
Anyone have an idea of how to simply turn off LED button back lights?
It seems it could be done as there is already at least one app that uses them for notification.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I've downloaded a desktop alarm clock app that turns the screen back light WAY down so it is not disruptive in a completely dark room while sleeping. But, the buttons remain illuminated.
Basically 8 want to use tasker to launch those clock and turn off the button back lights if the phone is charging and the time is after a certain hour.
I am thinking I could fire off a script with tasked to do thwarting back lights portion of this as well, but I don't even know where to begin.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I'm rooted, and use an app called AdjBrightness. Works wonders, and also via menu, you can totally turn off the LED lights.
Hope that helps.
Cool, I will check it out. Ideally I would like to do it automatically, without having to open another app, but this tells me it ostensibly at least doable.
Thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you want the code, just do this from adb or from your phone's terminal.
echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Thanks! I think that is getting pretty close to what I need. Any idea if/how this could be written or saved as a SL4A script that could be fired off with tasker?
Also, I'd need to configure an exit task as well for morning, so I will need to know how to set all the buttons back to normal.
I know this is kinda minor, but I am excited about it nonetheless. Looking forward to having a nice, super dim clock to check the time late at night.
Thanks again!

You could always leave your computer on overnight and make a macro that executes the adb command to dim the leds and then executes another that makes them bright again at a certain time.
There must be something similar you can do on the phone though.
Thanks for the thoughts Meltus.
Well, I did it! I actually created a solution that is, at least to me, the first thing I have done that might actually be worth it to others and might be worth sharing.
I'll post this in more detail in the Apps/Themes forum as I am not sure it belongs here, but the short version is that you can use a plug-in called "Locale Execute" that allows you run SU commands in Tasker.
So, I created a profile in Tasker so that when the phone is plugged in to AC power between certain hours (I may add some other contexts to tweak it, like maybe say it has to be in landscape orientation), it launches my desk clock app, turns the screen down to the very lowest setting (not the "low" setting allowed at the user level), and turns the button lights off using the command you gave me.
Then, when the AC power is pulled, It automatically goes to my default home screen, returns the screen brightness to normal, and turns the button back-lights back on.
It really is pretty cool!

No i'm afraid it doesn't. Also, send me a pm next time rather than ask in someone else's thread
I did turne off button's back-light by adjusting the context of "/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness" file from 255 to 0, it works great, but it gets back to normal after phone restart, I even went to properties of the file and removed all the "write" rights, but it won't give in.
I have had the 3vo since monday and on two occasions the screen became unresponsive. While stuck in that condition the 2nd time I noticed the bottom half of the screen was indeed responsive. i navigated that way until the issue disappeared on its own. I then became concerned enough to search out if anyone else was having similar issues. I ran across this while searching for the official htc forum. Basically the EVO 4G and the incredible had the SAME ISSUE.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/3264.aspx
I have searched htc's site and xda and haven't seen anyone else reporting the same issue on the 3vo. I then called htc support and of course they weren't "aware of the problem on any of those phones".
So I'm thinking of calling it a factory defect and returning the phone for a replacement. Anyone with more info to add?
Edit:
Found this as well.

The phone thinks that the notification menu is "dragged" down and it keeps you from tapping any icons or flipping through the screens.
To solve it without rebooting just pull down the notification menu and slide it back up and everything works fine again.

You aren't able to click on any of the icons that the "pull down" notification menu would be blocking until you "repull" down the notification menu and slide it back up.
I was just offering how I was able to "workaround" the issue on my phone.
If this doesn't work for you, fine.. I was just trying to help with the experiences I have had.

Sorry. No animosity intended.
Same here..
Able to do everything except the top half of my screen was totally unresponsive.
And also the back button (capacitive button) is not bright enough as others (Home, Menu, Search).
Already sent to HTC for the screen replacement, but have to wait till next week because the screen no stock..
- Reboot the phone does fix the problem, but it will happen again & again..
- Already performed hard reset as requested by HTC cust service rep, but same thing happened within 24 hours, in clear system.
Unrooted EVO 3D..
I also experience touch screen problems, i just turn the screen off and back on and it works again for a short period of time.
how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Many thanks!, Looks very interesting, will try it out and see how it does with my Tab.
Let me know if the light sensor work properly please!
Got Pro version on my phone, works great.
Will try it on my tab soon.
I'll check it out when i get home.
Works great on my tab too. Thanks mate.
Edit: I noticed on my phone after testing it on and off a few times, the light sensor stopped working. But after rebooting, I havent seen the problem since.
And I've yet to see a problem on my tab.
So the light sensor works? Can you log some sensitivity settings for me so i can fine tune it...

Like in different lighting settings? Like dimming the lights in the room? Or using different Sensitivity %s and closing the case?
Or all of the above?
Oh and after some extensive use on my DroidX, I've been having some problems. It turns off while I'm using the phone even in very lighted surroundings.
---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------
I'm at work right now but I tried a few things.
I'm using a Belkin Folio case and i tested to see how low i could set the % for it to read when the case was closed.
Anything under 10% didn't work (even when i completely covered the light sensor with my finger)
On 100%, even a shadow over the sensor would trigger it.
I'll try a few different lighting instances when I get home.
Thats cool, thanks!

Do you have "Enable Power Switch" Checked?
EDIT: If you're using a tablet with a case that covers the screen when you close it, here's what you need...
1. Check "Enable Power Switch"
2. Check "Admin Permissions" (this gives the app permission to lock your screen or turn the tablet off)
3. Check "Enable Sensors"
4. Check "Use Light Sensors" (I recommend 10-20% Sensitivity)
5. Set up your Confirmation and Activation Delay.
---Activation Delay is how long it takes for the device to read if the case is closed or not. (If you set it to 0 seconds, your screen will cut off even if you simply brush something up against the light sensor on accident) I keep mine at 3 seconds.
---Confirmation Delay starts after you Activation Delay ends. It is a confirmation dialogue box that asks what you want to do. Once the timer for it runs out, it will lock your screen/turn the screen off. (I keep mine at 3 seconds for this as well but you might want it longer)
To recap...Set Activation Delay for how long you want the device to wait before it makes a decision if it should turn off your screen or not. Set Confirmation Delay for how long you want it to wait after the Activation Delay ends to actually turn off the screen.
((If you don't have a case that covers the screen and you want it to turn off when you put your tab upside down, replace step 3 with *Check "Acceleration Sensor"* And make sure you Uncheck "Use Light Sensor"))
I haven't been able to come up with a way to set my screen to full brightness while charging, and haven't found a solution with a search. I want it up as bright as it will go when the phone is in my car mount and plugged in, and I normally keep the brightness below 50% to save battery. It's a pain to switch the display setting each time I get in and out of the truck. I have Tasker, but I haven't been able to come with a way to do what I want with it yet, unless I'm missing something. Ideally, I'd have it automatically go to 100% with no timeout or dim when I plugged the phone in. Any suggestions?
I suggest getting a new phone.

Just swipe the notification bar at the top of the screen left and right to change the brightness, no need to go to display settings.
I am on Fenny's ics rom and in developer settings it has stay awake while charging but it was in Tasks rom also I just can't remember where.
Edit...I just searched play store market for screen control and seen a paid app called screebl it has settings for brightness in portrait and landscape (slider controls) and also a box to tick to disable while docked. I am thinking you could set it up with those options.

Yea just hold you're finger on the furthest right of the notification bar after you plug it in. only takes a second.

Ideally, I'd have it automatically go to 100% with no timeout or dim when I plugged the phone in. Any suggestions?

Tasker will do what you want.

Had to link to web based play store....screebl was a bum steer. But this is what your looking for.
Edit...Using my phone to post here, copied and pasted url from browser for link but it gives the option to go to the mobile play store when I click the link in my own post...still learning new stuff.
To the point downloaded app works like a charm .

EXCELLENT!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, sir, I owe you a beer.
Your welcome. Will be using it myself. Having fun figuring out how to post links.
Feeling less like a bystander. Now if I learned how to type I could keep up.

Nice find thanks for sharing.
That app works perfectly. Thanks OP for starting this thread. I have always manually adjusted, so it's nice to skip the steps....and thanks to adfurgerson for the link!!
And fyi, I don't know if it's my phone, but no matter how I swipe the notification bar to adjust brightness, it never goes to 100% brightness. I always check in settings afterwards, and it's at about 95%. Maybe I've been doing it wrong, but with the above mentioned app, I no longer need to wonder.

Thanks, that's lots of help. But to be honest, if I was looking to get pointers from a prick, I'd still own an iPhone.

Just know that even if you're running the charging app mentioned above, if you're using the phone while charging, and its getting hot, the phone will dim the screen as needed, for protection.

That would explain it dimming in stay awake mode as Smitty mentioned.

Even as I'm posting in this thread, my screen is dimming/brightening every 10 seconds or so. Is this phone just not cut out for full bright while charging?

No problem, I can call a troll out when I see one. I've always thought there should be a troll limit on xda... like 3 confirmed troll posts, and you are banned for a month.

Is your auto-brightness turned on?
I'd be a lot happier with auto-brightness if I had more control over it, like if I could set the baseline for it to adjust from, and maybe change the adjustment frequency.

I never use auto...what I'm referring to is the phone's overheating protection. My phone is charging right now and it feels warm around the edge and just under the back camera lens. I'm sitting pretty close to a warm fireplace. I'm sure if I were outside (45F) the screen wouldn't be dimming.
