How do I keep the phone on all the time to play music or navigate when connected to the car charger?
The music keep playing even when the screen goes off.
And i believe if you are using some navigation software, it will stop the phone from turning off the screen by itself.
If you really "want" to keep the screen ON all the time, you can download some widget to do the trick.
Curve Fish has one, you can set the timer: 15s, 30s, 1min, 2min, 10min, 30min or Off (no turn off)

So the screen shuts itself off very quickly. Isn't there any way to let the screen stay on for a while when it is plugged in, and very quickly turn off when it is not plugged in?
So, if I get a text and the phone is plugged in, it stays lit, but if I get a text and it is in my pocket, it flashes on and then off.
Settings -> Applications -> Development
"Stay awake"
"Screen will never sleep while charging"
I wish they'd add separate controls, but thank you very much for that find!! And the very curious location it is stored in. If I get a text while sleeping, it'll leave my phone on the whole time - which is upsetting.

It allows you to modify settings based on conditions... I have mine set to turn on WiFi & BlueTooth along with setting the screen timeout to 10 minutes whenever I plug mine in. It also mutes the system sounds after 10pm so E-mail doesn't wake me up, but a phone call will. Worth the couple of bucks for the app in my opinion.
Maybe its normal but I have smart stay on so if i am looking at the screen it dims but doesn't turn off. This happens even with auto brightness, power saving and auto adjust screen tone turned off. the browser also has auto brightness turned off. the only thing i can think is maybe there is a conflict with quick settings which also has auto brightness turned off. if i am not looking nat eh screen it dims and in a few seconds shuts off.
what mine does...
Same here. I even start blinking and moving my eyes to see if it will stay on. I know I've got to look like an idiot.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
I have been playing with smart stay as well, but I haven't seen that it keeps the screen on any longer ... maybe I just haven't had enough patience.
smart stay does keep my screen on but it does not prevent the screen from dimming. I think the phone automatically dims right before its about to shut off even if i have all dimming settings turned off. right before it shuts off smart stay keeps it on but only after the screen dims thus i am stuck with a dim screen.
Noticed 2x today I walked away for an hour and came back to a bright screen. Both times I had just plugged it in and left it on the desk. I turned the sleep timer down to 15s and experimented a bit but couldn't replicate it...
I also noticed when it auto sleeps, there is no screen lock sound. Though I do hear it when I click the power button. The option is turned on in settings, and I remember my 300's all made the lock sound 5 seconds after the screen turned off. Maybe the 700s don't do it? Or maybe there's a problem with the hardware or not really sleeping?
Does yours make the lock sound when it locks after an automatic sleep?
Please can someone just turn up their volume and let their tf700 stock ROM go to sleep with the lock sound enabled? Tell me if you hear the lock sound when it AUTOMATICALLY goes to sleep? (Without clicking the power button)
I only have a couple days to exchange and need to know if this is normal for the 700
Again, the lock sound only plays when I click the power button, Not when it auto sleeps and locks. The tf300 always played the audio.
I am getting ready to, next weekend, finalize my build and install my Galaxy Tab 2 in my car as my main infotainment system... I have it set so you sadly will not have access to the power button, however it is wired to an ignition power circuit w/ a usb charger. So, this means that when the car turns on, the tablet powers up. Developer options set to never turn off while charging, so essentially my tablet will stay on while driving or when the key is on. Here's my concern... when you key on, you have about 10 seconds to swipe and open this thing otherwise it goes back off normally. Technically it is charging, so it may stay on (have not yet tested this as I just thought of it... lil slow today lol) but in the event it does not, can I change the delay when powered on to unlock to like, 60 seconds?? Tablet is stock, but rooted... Thanks!
It can be done with Tasker+secure settings plugin
Search in google "Tasker – How to Unlock Your Screen", with this guide you create the task , then you just have to create the tasker context that will trigger it, a simple "power any" context.
Double tapping the screen to wake is one of the options you get with Tasker.

Stock S6 (T-Mobile, 64GB, White). I have two different QI chargers (one is the TYLT Vu Wireless Charger (Qi) and the other is a CHOE stadium). The phone charges fine with both chargers, but the screen keeps turning on while charging and I can't seem to find a setting to disable this.
As soon as I put it on the charger, the screen turns on, so I hit the power button. Usually it turns back on within 5 seconds, so I hit the power button again. It will then stay off for a while, but if I wake up in the middle of the night the screen is back on again. Any ideas what is causing this?
I have noticed that the screen tends to turn on when I get a notification or when the "searching for GPS" pops up on the lock screen, but in both cases the display will dim but it will not turn all the way off.
Edit - forgot to mention that I get the same results regardless of whether or not the phone is in a case.
I got the same thing with portable battery packs... very annoying.
Also mine keeps getting off and on all the time.
Strange - my screen turns off fine if it's plugged charging via USB. It's only wireless charging that has issues on mine.
The screen always wakes up when it starts or stops charging. Do you have the developer option turned on to leave the scree on when charging? If so, when it wakes up at the end of charging, it will never turn back off. If you don't have this option enabled, then I don't have a good reason.
Thank you thank you! I just enabled developer options (after accidentally finding Flappy Android) and the "keep screen on while charging" option was turned on by default. Doing a test charge now, but it appears as if the screen is staying off.
Awesome!
