[Q] Point of irritation, any way to time the screen out after the battery charges?

Does anyone know of a way to get the screen to shut off after the battery recharges? A popup box tells me to unplug the cable and the screen stays on until I hit ok. This irritates me to no end as I always charge my phone at night, so the screen stays on for hours. Any way to disabled the popup box our force the screen to time out?

I was just thinking about this, and I think I will use Tasker to turn off the screen when that happens.

I would also like to know the answer to this. That pop up is irritating in general.

Your screen doesn't turn off after? Mine always has shut off after about 2 seconds.

Same here, mine always turns off after that pop up.

Mine doesnt turn off either its annoying as hell and lights up my entire room. How can you manage this with tasker?

For other reasons, I prefer the option to leave the screen on while it's plugged in. So it doesn't shut back off once the popup happens.

Mine always shuts off after a period too. Do you have the setting on to stay awake when plugged in? Simple solution is to put your phone upside down when going to bed. I have to block LEDs on my computer, and its charger to sleep. My bigger annoyance was the sound it makes. I finally figured out that the System Sound controls that volume.

There is no solution to this. From what I read, Samsung changed it in Froyo build and put this notification on notification bar instead.
If you don't like it lights up in the middle of night, why you keep the phone wake while plugged in?

This is what I've resorted to as well, it's not perfect, but like you say, its really annoying to have it light up the entire bedroom at night. Fingers crossed its fixed in 2.2 like someone said.

In Settings >> Applications >> Development there's a setting named "Stay awake while charging" or something like that.
Does anyone with this problem, by any chance, have that checked?

Mine doesnt do that. The message pops up that the battery is charged and to disconnect the cable, but my screen doesnt stay on. Every morning when I get up my screen is off. As soon as I hit the power button the screen wakes up and I see the fully charged message is still there so I then hit ok, but my screen is never "On" when I first wake up each morning.

It turned out to be a problem with the AT&T JH7 update for me, actually. The screen would stay on regardless of whether that was checked or not (it actually re-checked itself as soon as I left the menu in JH7). Flashed back to JF6 and all is right with the world again. Thanks for reminding me about that option though, I was beginning to think it was some touchjizz quirk.

No such problem here with JH7.

Strange, I wonder why some people's stay on while some do not. If it were a "Stay awake while charging" option issue, then the phone wouldn't have shut off the screen in the first place when you first insert the cable.
What version of firmware are you guys having this issue using?
I'm on stock. Sometimes I actually miss when it's fully charged for an hour or two because it shuts off the screen after a few seconds.

Why not charge it with it off?

There are various reasons you may not want the screen to automatically turn off while it's charging. I would rather just manually click the power button if it's plugged in. I never rely on it auto sleeping the screen anyway. I just leave it charging overnight while I sleep so it turns on the screen when it's full and doesn't shut off.

Mine was one of the updates that "failed", but said it was running JH7 after reboot anyway. It actually worked well with noticeable improvements in GPS performance; apparently that screen problem was some side effect though. Who knows :\

[Q] Shutting down when in pocket?

Hi there,
I have the usual touch screen issues as well, but haven't heard of this one: anyone experiencing the phone shutting down while in your pocket?
I have this quite often meanwhile, and no use in saying it is annoying. As much as I'd love it to be a software bug, I'd suspect it to be a loose connection between phone and battery, maybe. Only once in a while I have a restart, but most of the time my phone is simply off. Pressing the power button boots it up again. I can even provoke it sometimes in my hand when I am moving or pressing the phone a bit.

Sounds like a hardware defect. I havent experienced such behaviour nor have I read any similar issues. I suggest contacting HTC.

My phone has also been restarting at random. It has happened more than 3 times today. On top of that, when it comes back on the apps on my sd card don't show their logos on my homescreen. I have to delete them and readd to get the logos to appear. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing the same issue. When I have my phone in my pocket it randomly shuts down. I don't know if it has something to do with battery contact. My experience was this only happens when my phone is under a certain battery level, like 40%. When I restart the phone everything its normal til it happens again and I boot it up the battery percentage jumps from 40% to about 18%.
The strange thing is when I try to charge, it charges up to 87% and it stops charging, while its still shows like it its charging.
only when I reboot it's shows 100%.
I haven't tried hard reset, maybe tomorrow.

[Q] Power off phone, it won't start back up...

When I power off and select shut down the phone;
it wont start back up till I pull the battery.
Any one else have issues after shutting down?
Restart works fine and I seem to have no other issues with phone...

Get a new phone. No reason to have to p ull battery to get it to turn of regardless if anyone else is having the issue. You paid big money for a new device that should work. Jmho.

Turning off fast boot seemed to help...Maybe something wiggy with "Fast Boot"

I've found that when you have FastBoot enabled, it takes a long time (3 mins or so) for the device to "turn off" all the way. If you wait that long, then long press the power button, it will turn right back on... Needless to say, the best option is to turn off FastBoot.

[Q] My wifi never sleeps when its ON

After I did the OTA update to 2.3.4 on my Tmobile Sensation 4G, I cant seem to get the wifi to ever sleep. It stays on no matter where I am; next to a router, in my car, outside, at home...
Attached is an example of a typical day's usage with some charging, because recently its been draining a lot quicker. I have tried restarting, turning wifi on/off, getting rid of all of the saved wifi networks and saving them again, changing the sleep policy, turning off the best performance wifi feature, pretty much everything. I have also attached todays usage thus far, notice that wifi calling is using battery even though i have it disabled.
I don't use wifi calling, and even though its off, sometimes it shows up under the the battery draining applications. Its not on though, I don't even know why its there.
Anyone else having this issue? Please advise.
Thanks

Wi-Fi Power Fix
First off, Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi Settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>Never when plugged in.
After any OTA the phone builds a current index and reorganizes the file system. This can take up to lets say just from personal experience anywhere from 2-8 days depending on how loaded your phone/sd card is. It is always good to plan ahead. Spare battery in pocket, charger at work/car/home. It may seem like I’m being lazy, but it’s more pragmatic than anything. The phone will truly get noticeably zippy at some point when you pick it up and you will remember this post. Have fun with your phone. It’s a great one.
Josh-

i dont really understand what you are talking about in the second part of your post after you mention the suggestion to turn that setting on. How could a setting take 8 days to go into effect? I have been using the phone for more than 2 weeks now with the new OTA.

How did You restart Your phone ? Using "Power off" from Power options ? Sensation doesn't seem to do a real power off in this case. After switching on it will start quite fast (~5s until asking for PIN).
So have You tried "Restart" from Power options or removing the battery ?

That fast rebooting is a feature called fast boot. I turned it off, and it actually restarts the phone and doesn't put into some "hibernation" mode.
So, yes I have done a full reboot as well as a battery pull before starting again.

Still the same problem ? If so, a factory reset may solve it, but You'll loose Your data.
If Your device is rooted You can create a Nandroid backup before and restore it afterwards, if it doesn't solve the problem.

I have the same problem after the upgrade as well.
Did the sleep policy suggestion work for you?

It should come of after about 10th mins but my battery is fine. Maybe u should root and see what happens.http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=707292&d=1314908579

[Q] my touch 4g slide pyro ICS no turning on

Hello.
I installed the PYRO ICS. it works great. thanks for all the effort. I have one issue, If my phone shuts down due to law battery, it does not turn back on by pressing power button. i have to remove battery and sim card and only then it powers on.
This is reproducible every time. i have wiped the cache once and also have 5.0.2.7 cowomod.
Please advise.
Thanks.

you mean after you recharge it?
or just after it shuts down? because that would be intentional behaviour then

off course after charging it

Are you running a stock battery or an Anker? If I run my Anker down to nothing and it shuts down it won't
charge on USB. I have to pull it and put it on the external charger that came with my two batteries. I don't have this problem with the stock battery.

I am not sure of the different types of battery. I think my issue is that the phone does not turn on. it charges fine.
Thanks.

Stock battery is black and has HTC printed on it. The Anker is White and has, well, "Anker" printed on it. If you have a bad battery it could cause any number of issues. You might try flashing back to your stock nandroid and see if that helps (Isolating software issues from hardware symptoms).

Are you using the old madaco recovery? If so update your recovery in rom manager, that should fix it.

If your phone shuts down due to low battery, instead of taking the battery out to try to get it to go on, try this while having your phone plugged in:

I'm in pyro-ice too, and it works for me !
It also helps a lot when it freezes. I hope this helps.

i think your problem is different. Isnt the lights of your phone on the buttons still on when this happen? Are you sure the battery is off?
It might be "just" the blackouts of screen that some users have. I had some too, but changing to Trebuchet launcher seems to help with that. In the upcoming 1.0.2 release ROM will run Trebuchet, hopefully it will help with your problem.

I read your 1.1.0 thread where you mentioned that the phone cannot be turned on when plugged in. thats what i was doing. I didn't try removing the charger and then turn on. thanks for the help.

have an issue about powerin phone on when i completly drained my battery. after i put it for chargin, notification led was blinking for a long time not like usually (u cant power phone on before orange light is solid).reloaded battery and was waiting like for 10-15 min for led stay solid. gud thing its finally happen.
was on pyr`o`ice 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 dont remember exactly

Which battery are you using?
