I did a few searches but didn't come up with anything. Has anyone else had a problem with the N1 not keeping audio settings for the car dock? Every time I plug it in, the "use dock for audio" is unchecked in settings, even though I have "remember settings checked". This has happened with 2.1 and also with 2.2 F72.
I also have a desk dock. I wonder if inserting it into the desk dock is turning off the setting? I'll have to test that tonight. What made me just think of this is that it seems that if I turn on the setting, it works when I'm in the car removing and inserting the n1 into the car dock to test it. Only seems to turn off later.
i used to have this problem but it seems to have be fixed some how, not sure how i got it to keep the setting, perhaps a task killer or something running in the background killing the settings window before it saves?

I definitely don't have any task killers running.
I'm pretty sure what is happening is that my desk dock is resetting it. I have the desk dock set to no use the the dock for audio. So when I put the phone in the desk dock, it wipes the setting. It's like the phone doesn't know the difference between the two docks. I just hate that you can't access the audio settings in the dock section unless it's actually plugged into a dock.

Hi. I don't have a dock but i keep reading questions about whether the phone will go into "dock mode" with certain docks. I assume car dock mode would mean the "car home" app launches. What launches when in desk dock mode? is there an official set of settings? is there a native app that launches which i havent noticed in my phone?

As a standard setting no app is launched when connecting to a car dock.
As standard "clock" app is launched if put into the official Samsung dock.
As standard no app is launched when connecting to an unofficial dock (have yet to hear about a modified unofficial being modified to launch "clock")
so thats it? a clock? Doesnt sound too exciting
I suppose i can do this with the NFC task launcher app.
thanks for the info!

Well, the clock app comes with an option to quickly launch timer, music, news app and it's displaying current location + temperature (and, time ).
ahhhh, so much better!
now a serious question. Since the dock app would keep the display on all the time, and at the same time the phone would be charging. How many milliamps would be required to keep the phone fully charged?
also, same question but in a car with GPS and display on, how many milliamps would the car charger have to provide to keep the phone working and fully charged?
thanks,

Wondering if this is how it's designed or what... but when my my tablet is docked to the docking station the screen never seems to go into standby / sleep mode. Is there a setting that I am missing or is it designed that way?
Funny you should mention that. I've started wondering today if the tablet won't go into Deep Sleep if you just close the lid.
Try pressing the power button first, then closing the lid, see if that makes any difference.
EDIT: Also, do you have the battery saving feature enabled, so when you press buttons on the dock, it doesn't wake it up?
There is a big discussion going on in another thread and AFAIK it is known issue for some Docks and Asus would replace it for you.
But first please ensure that the settings/apps are not stopping it from deep sleep.
Well... I finally figured it out. Totally my fault that I didn't realize what was going on until I was restoring my phone (EVO) and saw the item...
I had "Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)" enabled in the settings. It never occurred to me, because the dock is charging the tablet, it is always in "charging mode", thus it wouldn't go to sleep because of that.
Once I un-checked that, it went to sleep perfectly fine... although I still feel the battery on the dock drains a little faster than it should, it's def better (and not nearly as fast as the drain issue people were having).

D'OH! For crying out loud - thank you! This post saved me a warranty call to ASUS. I would've felt like an idiot returning my dock for a dumb setting I missed.
For those looking for quick access to the "Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)" setting, it can be found under...
SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > DEVELOPMENT > Stay Awake
Here is a tip for longer battery, with no WIFI when screen off i noticed when looking at my battery stats that wifi was always on longer. It wasnt turning off straight away.
I now disable the wifi using the dock button then turn off using the power button on the tablet just reverse the procedure when turning on.
HTH
I'm curious to if anyone knows of an app/widget that will keep the screen on and not lock the system when plugged in?
Basically whenever I try to play a SNES-emu or any game that uses my new Moga BT controller, the system goes into sleep after the 1 min(or whatever time is set), and this is the same if using mini-HDMI output.
I know this can be as easy as increasing the time and such, but i'm sure I will forget to rest it to stock and when I put the tablet in my bag it stays on all the time.
In the Developer Options, there's a setting for the screen to Stay Awake while charging...
Its safe to presume though that when you enable this, and that when you hook the dock up, it will stay awake as well?
anyone know of a good app or a setting in the GNote10.1 that will allow me to keep the display on while docked? my dock is at work and I would like to keep the screen on for calander, music and time stuff. Im guessing i can build something in Tasker, but I kinda thought it would be a setting. Only a day into playing with it so i could have easily missed something.
thanks!
Settings →Developer → Stay Awake
But then it stays awake, if you use the standard charger, too.
Having some issues with tasker on the pixel 3. I had the pixel 1 with android pie and had no issues. I migrated my profile and the tasks work if i play them manually but don't seem to work automatically 99% of the time. They also show green as if they should be active. It seems to have something to do with having the screen off. I have battery optimization turned off for the app and I have messed around with a few other settings. Does anyone know the magic combination to get it working? Or any idea what else may be wrong?
Example screnario...I get into my car, bluetooth connects, i wait and pandora doesnt turn on. I unlock the phone and go into tasker, the profile is green as if it is active but Pandora isn't playing. I then open the task and hit the play button and everything works as it should.
I can live without most of my tasks but I really miss Pandora automatically playing and exiting when connected to my bluetooth.
EDIT: My other tasks are hard to verify they aren't working. It seems that they may be working some/most of the time but Pandora has yet to launch while the screen is off. I have smart lock enabled so the phone should unlock when connected to my bluetooth.

Check to see if accessibility is enabled for Tasker. If memory serves me correctly it needs to be enabled in order to launch an app. I might be wrong about that but it can't hurt to try it. Android settings>accessibility

I checked and it wasn't enabled. Enabled it but unfortunately the same issue happens. If i have the screen on everything works perfectly fine, screen off nothing happens. I am using always on display if that matters, its the only difference from my pixel 1 setup but I don't see why it would matter.
I also tried clearing all app data, uninstalling, reinstalling and setting up the pandora profile from scratch. Its such a simple task, I don't see why it isn't working. Profile below, selected options in parenthesis.
BT Connected (bluetooth device name) -> Pandora (Launch App Pandora)
Did you select the BT device from the list by tapping the magnifying glass? I have found that if I pair a device the name is the same but the profile won't work until I remove and add it again. Also, some have different modes. For example, my Bose BT headphones pair as "Bose SoundSport" initially, but then connect as "LE Bose SoundSport" after that, so profile trigger has both listed.
Another test I would do is to change the task actions to see if it's actually triggering the profile or if it's an issue with the task. I usually just do Alert > Flash and watch the screen when the profile should be triggering. If the flash works, something isn't working with the launch app action.
Hope this helps.
Edit: I guess I didn't clarify, the task I have with my Bose headphones launches Spotify and starts music (media control > next). It also sets the media volume to a comfortable level. The criteria for this profile is a variable (based on calendar to see if I'm at work or not) and BT connection.
I forgot it was there, but I use Secure Settings to wake the CPU when the task triggers. Not sure if this is still needed or not. I think it was needed at one point to launch with the screen off or something, but I haven't really changed this task for a few years other than updating the BT device name as described above.

Thanks for the input! I am heading out of town for a few days but I'll look into your suggestions when i return ( i wont have my car with me so i cant do any testing). I do think the profile works because it shows as green when i turn my screen on and open tasker. It also works perfectly fine if i have my screen on then start my car.
I think it may be working now (successfully tested one time) but I will need to use a bit more to be sure. The only thing I noticed is when reinstalling, i was prompted to allow the application to run in the background and chose yes. When the app was transferred from my old phone and I imported the backup, i dont recall ever getting this prompt. Not sure where this setting is found other than at the prompt. I will report back once i am home and can test some more.
okay so it doesn't appear to be working still. The task works fine when played manually, the profile runs the task successfully when the screen is on/off/locked. It does NOT work after phone has been idle for a while. I have battery optimization off for Tasker and when I check battery usage, I can see that tasker runs all day long. I have another task to dismiss email notifications at work and it works fine when the phone is idle.
Starting to test it with different actions like turning on the screen but I'm running out of ideas. Only other thought it Adaptive Battery....not very familiar with it.

Can you verify if the task runs at all? In other words, does Tasker successfully see the BT connection and activate the profile and the only thing that fails is Pandora playing?
If the profile actually kicks in, then it sounds like the phone needs to 'wake up' more before the Pandora action works.
I have a morning profile (runs based on time of day) that I had to add a wake screen step to to have all the actions work (I don't actually remember which action wasn't working -- it may have been that it didn't seen to run at all). I currently use the old Secure Settings plugin to do the screen wake because when I tried which auto- app has a screen wake action it didn't work.

This leads me to believe the bit I added for Secure Settings to wake CPU is what makes it work any time? The profile I have is very similar; %ATWORK = TRUE && BT connected to Bose SoundSport. Secure Settings wakes CPU only 20 seconds, launches Spotify, waits 5 seconds, simulates media control "next" then sets the volume to 10.
Can't hurt to try..
i added a task to vibrate the phone after trying to launch pandora. The phone seems to vibrate every time but pandora will only start if the screen is on. Thought it may be lock screen related so i totally disabled it, same results. Ill mess around with the secure settings tip above, the fact that it vibrates every time makes me think its something else though. Attached some logs below. Each set contains all logs from profile active to profile inactive.
EDIT --> work around found. Removing log in case there are any personal details

Comparing the logs in notepad++, they seem to be almost identical (with the exceptions of some of the timing of logs, had to move them around to match them up). The only difference I can see is the following lines and what appears to be Pandora starting up and exiting when it works ( events surrounded by #NLI: tickerText. The first line says True when screen is on and the second line is missing when pandora failed to load.

oddly enough... installing Secure Settings and using it to launch the same Pandora activity seems to work (so far)
