[Q] Screen Dim

I'm new to the TB but I've been on Android since the original droid release. On my moto devices all i had to do was set the screen to stay awake when charging. I have set that on my TB but after a few seconds the screen dramatically dims, technically it stays awake yes, but is there a way to prevent it from dimming when it's charging or docked? Thanks in advance for your help.
It would really depend on what Mod you are running. If you are running stock there should be a setting in display for screen dimming. If you are running a custom rom each has it's own settings for different things. Cyanogen has it turned off by default but you can turn it on via the settings to allow the screen to dim.

[Q] Need a way to automatically lock or turn off phone

I'm looking for a possible app that can automatically lock the phone regardless of what it is doing. I use the MHL to HDMI cable to output to my tv when I'm in bed and I like to watch shows to put me to sleep.
The thing is when the cable is plugged in, the phone's screen never turns off because it would turn off the tv display as well. The display just goes dim when it's idle. I can manually lock it and it will shut off, but I would like something that can send a lock command or a power off command after a certain amount of time, sorta like a sleep mode.
I don't like having my phone screen's stay on until morning even though it's staying fully charged. It's usually pretty warm when I wake up. Is there any way this can be done?
Maybe it could be done with tasker? https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=search_result
I gave it a try and it seems like a really nice app, but I couldn't find a way to command it to lock or turn off the phone. There were 2 options I saw called "lock" and "system lock" and I tried both but nothing happened when the specified event occurred.
I'm tempted to try the HDMI on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, but I'm thinking it would remain on as well if plugged in. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Q] screen doesn't timeout after full charge

so when ever the tab is fully charged the screen turns on and wont go of until i click the lock button.
i don't have power savings mode. timeout is set to one min. and no auto adjust screen power. 3.2 stock rom
i cant find any settings to adjust this specifically so i don't know what this is. i just don't like the idea of the tab sitting for hours with screen on
EDIT: also noticed that if i put to charge screen wont go of, just fades after the 1 min timeout. i must manually turn it of. i.e push lock button
Hi.
I haven't noticed anything like that when I have been using stock Rom...
If you put tablet to charge did the big-clock screensaver shows up?
If so, you must press back on the bottom tab to let it go away and then it wil fade out and turn off the screen after timeout you have set up in settings...
The only time when screen goes on after charging and stay in that state is when charging with Tablet switched off {big battery charging indicator show up...}...
is it the lock screen your talking about, if so then yes. tab is put to charge and locked. then when full it makes a sound then shows lock screen and fades a bit after some time, but doesn't turn of. screen is of until fully charged. then turns on.
Hmm... this doesn't seems to be normal. On my tab, when fully charged it just make a sound and doesn't unlock or light up the screen...
Which country are you from and what ROM are you using? This might be an unwanted "feature" of branded ROM from some operator/provider...
Maybe if you are planning to Root and give your Tab some nice new ROM from here, your problems will be solved...
im planing on rooting as soon as CM9 is done. im in norway. we dont have operators/providers screwing up our phones like in the states.

Battery blinking and functional PROBLEM

I m using an custom rom, from spike. It was working very nice. Recently a problem starts. Maybe it have nothing to do with the rom, anyway, just in case you know what rom i'm using. (Spike.Pure.ICS-v7.6)
So, the problem is, the display stops to block automatic. It only blocks if i press the power button. If non, the screen decreases the brightness and stay turned on without block and off.
The batterry icon keep blinking without show the percentage, warped, it looks like a square , sometimes it back to normal shape and sometimes its becomes a square blinking
When i plug the usb cable it back to normal, shows the percentage and recharge but It doesnt tell me when its 100% anymore, no message on status bar notification as it used to show.
When the usb is pluged the "block" seems to back to normal too, as the configuration says, 15 seconds and screen turns off.
I already tryed to reset battery stats... i let the S2 discharge completely and then i charge to 100%, wait 2 hours plus then i reseted the stats.
No deal. Reset darwin cache.. same...
Plus, it keep telling on notification bar that i'm connected as storage device even when the usb is disconected. But if i connect it to PC it works normal.
Anyone know what can it be?
1. try search function
2. faulty usb port try to clean it with a clean brush, look for more details, or it may need to be changed
this is caused by humidity (dropped in water/snow, rained in it, high humidity area where you live)

Question Stay Awake option within Developer Options does not work

Hi All,
I am running the latest Android 12 OS on my Samsung phone. My goal is to make the screen stay awake any time I have the phone connected to a charger using a USB-C cable. In short, I want to prevent the LOCK screen from activating or the screen from slowly dimming down to black only when the phone is connected to a USB cable for charging.
So I set the "Stay awake" option under the "Developer options" to see if this would keep the screen on any time it is plugged into the USB cable.
After doing this the screen continues to switch to LOCK screen mode or slowly dim down to black even though it is plugged into the USB cable. So what is the correct way to make this work? Do I need to install a third party app to make this behavior happen?
Any tips welcome.
