Hi guys. My Desire S has developed a slight problem.
Basically the screen is staying on when charging.
It's fine when I don't have it on charge.
I'm running Virtuous Unity Beta 2.3.3 with no other mods.
Go to
Settings -> Applications -> Development
Obviously the USB debugging mode will launch when you plug you phone to charge.
This you can see as a Triangle on your notification bar.
Un-tick -> Stay awake
Or un-tick both: USB Debugging and stay awake and see what you get
Thanks for the tip my friend. I'm just installing Virtuous Unity 2.3.5 so that should solve the problem but if it arises again I'll be sure to try that.

Hello,
I have three questions about my sensation.
1) If the battery is empty, the LED flash no longer works, can be turned off somehow, so that it always works?
2) My wireless switch off when my Phone is in standby. When I go out from standby, it connects again. Is there a possibility that wireless is always turned on?
3) Can I fit into the standard battery display a percentage figure, so I always know what percentage the battery has?

Thanks!

Go to Settings -> Network Settings -> WiFi Settings -> Press Menu-Button and chose advanced Settings
The first option lets you chose wether WiFi should be always on, switches off after 15 minutes or is always on when the device is charged.
(I hope I named the options correctly, my device language is german )
Thank you!
My menu language is also German, but I could find it.
I was often in the settings, I've never had the idea to press the menu button once ^^
Any ideas for my other two questions?
My rule for wifi is to turn off when screen if off. I notice that my mail is still coming thru when the screen is off.
I'm getting a lot of battery drain. Anyone know what I can do to solve this issue?
What do you guys use for the rule of wifi to reduce battery?
what rom/kernel are you using (you should always mention thse when asking a question like this fyi). revolver just fixed this problem yesterday, try updting your rom/kernel....
I'm using the latest stock rom..I think 3.2?
How do you update the stock rom or solve this issue?
Root and flash a custom rom. Revolver 3.2.1 fixed this issue i think...

I am on stock 3.2 and no problems. Have you checked the battery info. That is the best time to check how much time the TF has been on and how much time wifi has been on.
It's true that wifi doesn't disconnect as soon as screen goes off. It maybe takes some minutes for wifi to actually go off. Also, if I am using any app that uses wifi (like radio streaming), wifi won't turn off.
Anywy, most of the time wifi will go out just a couple of minutes after screen goes off. Check settings, running apps and battery stats.
Regards.
The stock rom is set to time out 10 minutes after the screen is turned off I believe. The revolver rom now has an option in revolver parts to set how long till the wifi is disabled.
There are several apps that keep wireless and/or GPS alive after screen is off. This is due to the way the OS handles apps after you stop using them. Try turning off TF then restart and without running any apps, let is sleep. Then check to see if wireless went off.
same issue
Hey, I'm having a similar issue.
I'm on a B70 running revolver 3.11 and a stock kernel and I've noticed my wifi intermittently toggles the disconnect policy to "never" instead of "when screen is turned off".
I thought it was part of the custom wifi timeout from revolver parts but according to battery usage in settings (and massive battery drain) the wifi isn't actually being switched off when the device isn't in use (tablet idle rarely shows top of the list).
I've tried flashing new roms and kernels but haven't been able to work out the specific cause of the problem or how to fix it. I would have posted in the revolver discussion to find out how the wifi timeout is managed as this might have given a clue but alas I am a noob

Honeycomb is not good at keeping wifi off with the screen when other apps request a connection
Grab "Auto Airplane Mode - by Don" from the market free and it does exactly that, screen off = radios off, screen on = radios on
Well my TF wifi off with screen off work except it work too good.
It work but after it goes to deep sleep it does not want to turn back on ( would need a reboot of TF for it to work again) so I set Wifi sleep policy to never and use Auto Airplane Mode.
Prime 2.1.1 w/ Prime OC kernel

Downloaded this app and it works a treat. I'm a bit anal so I'll keep trying to investigate why the system isn't doing what it should but its nice to have something to save the battery in the meantime.
Hi,
does anybody know a way how i can prevent my Sensation from waking up when i plug in the charger?
I know that there is an option where the device stays awake while charging but i couldn't find anything to keep the display switched off while connecting and disconnecting the charger
My device:
HTC Sensation (german t-mobile branding)
ICS 4.0.3
No root
Thx

This option isn't marked. Thats why the display gets switched off after a while. But i want the display to stay switches off when i plug in the charger
Do you want that screen is always on while charging?
then just mark Stay awake while charging

No i want it to be switched off all the time while plugin, unplug and charginf
as for my knowledge - not possible to configure,
probably some custom kernel could have screen on when plugging charger disabled
Mime doesn't turn on sense 4.0 through
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
the question is - can you configure it from OS, or is it defined in custom kernel/ Faux123?
It has been 2 years I bought this phone.
Nexus S i9023 world wide edition (code name crespo)
Generally it gave 24 hours battery backup. But now it gives only 12 hours backup hardly!!.
I tried all roms like cyanogenmod, slim rom, AOKP and original too.
Screens are attached.
let me know if you have any idea.
let me know if you want more information.
I am on wifi only in office, otherwise wifi and data plan is off.
U get high android os on all rom ?
If bought the phone two years ago, its the battery for sure. After 24 months and several hundred charges its not going to last anywhere near as long as when you first got it

Android os is too high. Something is keeping your phone awake. I suggest greenify and hibernate all facebook, maps etc.. Also, some chat programs can be problematic if you dont use original hangout or google talk.
[SOLVED!!]
i have this problem with my galaxy grand phone ,the battery discharges in 20hr , default OS was 4.1.2 official samsung , i changed my rom into a slim custom rom based 4.2.2 , but the battery has same problem again , Android OS battery Usage Was 80% !!!! and screen usage just was 9% !

All I know is Android OS shouldn't consume 80% of battery when screen is off.
Wakelock detector app always giving me 80% awake and 20% deep sleep. and Phone was having kernel awake issue.
Two days ago I switched back to stock rom with no extra apps installed. and the issue was the same.
What I noticed that I turn of the CRT screen off option in Slimrom 4.2 build 8. and when I come back to stock rom, Obviously I did full format with bootloader, radio and recovery etc.. but CRT screen off was not working. What I guess is if we formatted /system /cache /data dalvik cache etc.. CRT off screen off should be reset and it should be turn on by default, as it was on when I purchased it!!!
So I guess there should be something like OEM unlock option which persist even you do full format. Some of the settings which is causing my kernel for keep awaking.
So I again planned to come back to Slim rom (As I noticed it is very active for my device). And the CRT screen option is working correctly now.
But my original problem of Android OS was still there. in 2 hours of screen off, kernel was awake for all the time, only 4 minutes of deep sleep.
I checked wakelock detector and saw mmc1_detect count as around >1800!!!!
I come back to XDA for solution and found that it could be for faulty SD card. Solution suggested is to go to setting -> storage -> unmount sd card and restart your phone or something (I don't remember actually). But since Nexus S has no external SD card, out of 16 GB, 1 GB is for phone internal and about 13 GB is for USB storage. But how can we unmount it??? Additionally even if I unmount, there is no use of smart phone, as photos and all important things are in SD card. I wasted 1 hour for finding an app that can toggle SD card mount/unmount but no success.
I noticed that my phone has some issue with charging point. It started after I used nexus 7 charger into it. On my laptop usb connection works good, but at my office I checked on 2 PCs but USB is not recognizing it. (Sometime works something don't). Another issue I faced a week ago was, when I removed charger, phone still showing charging!! My friend suggested me to mess with port. Use some small sharp stuff like knife to remove touching charging port with outer steel body, and it worked.
So I concluded there must be some issue with it. Today morning After fresh installation of slim rom with suggested step problem persist. But I didn't flashed gapps, just to test if there is an issue with any of the google apps. But then I installed gapps (only required and gmail and hangout)
all of sudden, issue resolved! 2% wake and 98% deep sleep in 7 hours!
Still I cannot determine what exactly caused an issue. If it is about charging point, all I know is I'll face this issue again, and as it is soldered to IC cheep, I definitely need to give it to professional repair.
As I guessed, Issue again comes, this time I see that 'vbus_present' holds kernel wakelock even after unplugged.
USB working fine, but sometime it keep showing charging after unplugged.
Temporary I am keep plugging and unplugging till charging icon disappear. and then reboot the phone (Rebooting is required otherwise lock will not release).
Soon I will have to repair charging point.
Ha haha, Alli need is to do not let charging point touch outer surface

Hey everybody, so I'm trying to get my phone to stay awake while charging (specifically for use in a car dock). The "stay awake" option was working for a while and all of a sudden it stopped working. My phone is rooted with only 1 xposed tweak installed (tweakbox) and lux. However, I have tried with and without and it still won't work..I'd like to keep my timeout to 30 seconds except while plugged in.
Recently I tried turning off dev options, reboot, turn on dev options, reboot, turn on stay awake, reboot - still, nothing. It refuses to stay awake while charging.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas beyond factory resetting...I hate using apps for this kind of thing, I'd rather stay with the system options but I guess if I can't get it to work I'd install some minimalist tweak or app.
