I have the official Nexus One dock and it randomly disconnects from the phone while it's still docked. BT disconnects and it stops charging. It seems to happen more often when the phone gets hotter.
I have a feeling it's software related because it usually re-connects as soon as I change the orientation or un-dock re-dock really quick.
The only other thing that I can think of is that maybe it needs a better ground since I hardwired it into my car's power wiring.
Anyone else experience this?
Ive been meaning to make a thread similar to this but i guess its more appropriate not to waist threads...
The touch sensitivity dies when the screen is on for prolonged periods of time. for example when its in the gps dock, i will sometimes try to interact with the app and it wont register any touches at all or will get them completely off. but right when i turn off the screen then turn it back on again (even if its quickly) it'll go back to normal. Why? is it because of the heat being created? the phone does get hot when i use the gps for a long time.
I blame poor connections. Every now and again i have to wiggle the base of the dock where the contact pins are to seat the contacts
The screen is supposed to auto recalibrate, it doesn't seem to do a very good job of it. My phone is hopeless on winter mornings, about 30 seconds after turning it on in the morning I have to turn the display off and on again to force it to recalibrate or the bottom 1/3 of the screen stops working.
The issue is much less pronounced with the CM firmware than it is with the stock firmware though.
My fix for the Nexus dock
I also had this problem when I was using the phone in the horizontal position but when I turned it to vertical it started working again... not an ideal fix but it worked for me... also I found a small crack in the dock that makes the tab at the top stiff, it eventually broke through and I used a piece of shrink tubing to repair it back to help it push down on the prongs at the bottom.
On the other topic this screen sensitivity problem should be marked critical since I can't answer my phone without turning the screen off and back on again, I can't even count the amount of times I hung up on someone while fumbling to answer the phone.

The CurveFish OnOff widgets were the first widgets I downloaded when I got my new Motorola DROID. I needed to have complete control over my connections to save on battery life, and found a few little fun widgets along the way. And to have found a publisher that has released multiple widgets of the same theme excites the OCD inside me.

Which of the widgets fixes the dock calibration issues?
Hi XDA-Community,
you are my last Chance of Help. I recently got the Samsung DA-E550 Wireless Audi with a Docking Station and encountered a Problem. I wanted to use the Speaker for my Alarm in the Morning. The Problem is that the Station goes into Standby after 30min and cuts the Bluetooth Connection wich results in usage of the intern Speakers of my Phone instead of the DA-E550.
You know any way to keep the Station powered with a Bluetooth Signal or something else? It was the main Purpose why i got it and that it doesnt work kinda sucks....
Cheers

I ordered one and it is arriving tomorrow - I am also hoping to use it as an alarm clock (My galaxy note 2's alarm isn't quite loud enough - I am a deep sleeper)
I am hoping with tasker I can auto turn off then back on bluetooth 5 min. before wake up time and that will wake up the dock.
If that works I will let you know. (when your dock is on standyby if you turn your phones bluetooth off and back on does that wake up the dock? - if so you can use taker (see link below) to auto turn your bluetooth off and back on a couple min. before your alarm goes off - this is assuming that the dock will auto connect with the speaker upon bluetooth being turned on on your phone.)
As long as when the dock goes into standby it will wake up when a device tries to connect to it via bluetooth this should work.

Nope when it goes to sleep - it is dead to the world untill you hit the power button.
Best option is to go to sleep with a silent mp3 on loop I guess
Yea i tested a bit for myself but couldnt wake up the device but your alternative is a neat trick. Didnt thought of that.

I seem like to have failed the first try this night. Did you try it? Worked it?
Did it work, i am facing the same issue too, sucks cause i cant use it for its main purpose, alarm!
So I had this same problem when I first got my Z1 Compact, but it went away after a while (I'm not entirely sure how). This creates a problem if I have my phone in my pocket, as it will skip tracks, fast forward and rewind, and waste battery. Is there a way to prevent the screen from waking when the device connects to a Bluetooth device?
EDIT: Found a solution! At least for me, hope it helps others as well. My bluetooth microphone no longer works, so I went into the Bluetooth settings for the stereo and unchecked the box to use the BT for phone audio, and only left media audio checked. This seems to have fixed this issue as well, as my screen no longer turns on automatically when it's connected! I re-checked the box and it turned on like before, so it seems like that's what's causing it to wake.

Have a look at the Smart Connect app, maybe it has an event there that triggers when the bluetooth connects.
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, there were no such events under any of the Smart Connect options, and I can't even find an option to turn the screen on/off when a device is connected or disconnected.
I've tried setting the screen timeout to 15 seconds (the lowest possible), and I noticed that once the screen turns on after connecting, it never times out or turns off on its own. It was sitting on my car's dash, and I listened to a few songs without it shutting off. I even checked the timeout settings afterwards, and it was still set to 15 seconds.
Any idea what else could be causing this? Maybe Throw? I know I was able to uninstall that on my Z1C using Titanium Backup, but obviously I can't on this one since it's the T-Mobile Z3.
EDIT: So this apparently only happens when connecting to my car stereo. I just tested it with my Bluetooth headphones and the screen stayed asleep the entire time I was connecting and playing music.
I still have no idea what could be causing this, but I'm starting to think it has something to do with my stereo and not my phone. Is there any app or way I can test it? So far, here's what I've tried. Again, on T-Mobile Z3 so no chance of rooting at the moment. Screen still turns on whenever my phone auto-connects to my car stereo's Bluetooth.
1. Disabled Throw using adb shell.
2. Disabled MirrorLink using adb shell.
3. Disabled Smart Connect using adb shell.
4. Auto-connected to Bluetooth headphones and screen stays off as it should.
5. Tried with multiple apps (Shuttle+, Walkman, PowerAmp, even with all music apps uninstalled/disabled).
6. Old phone's screen (Z1 Compact) still stays off when connecting to the car stereo. It's rooted with an unlocked bootloader, maybe something in the Z3's DRM keys is telling it to wake up?
So that's where I'm at right now, not sure where I can go from here. I suppose I'll have to learn to live with it for the time being.

Do you have :Smart backlight control in "Display Settings" on? In my case that was the problem! So when the screen wakes up and i'm on the move, this setting prevents the device from auto lock.
Same issue around here mate. I got a pioneer car stereo and I set the smart connect to play music as son it connects. Every time it connects the screen turns on and I got the connection message on status bar.
Smart backlight control was off, but I tried turning it on just in case. Screen still turns on. I don't even have Smart Connect enabled right now, and I don't get any connection message when it connects. I'm thinking it has something to do with Pioneer specifically, since mine's a Pioneer as well. It also doesn't turn on when it connects to my bluetooth headphones/headset, which should be the same type of connection.
I'll try messing with some settings on my stereo, see if that does anything.
I'll try on my friends Sony stereo later and see if the issue happens.
When I connect the lg g watch the screen remains off.

I have the same isue with my zenec car radio This sucks because I can't keep my phone in my pocket while I'm driving.
It would be interesting to know if this is a general android isue or if it's only a isue from sony smartphones with stock rom. Just to narrow down possible causes...
I also have this issue with my Kenwood deck. I also noticed my volume resets to half too, which is even more annoying than the screen turning on. I have no smart connect events or anything turned on. Odd thing about the volume, it doesn't do it all the time. It just seems to randomly.

It may be a security "feature", so that no-one/nothing can connect to your device without you seeing the screen light up.

I don't think so, because the phone is most of the time in the pocket so it wouldn't make sense to lighten up the screen to inform the user about a "BT event".
But hmm, maybe I'm able to solve it with tasker
BT connect on event -> turn screen off

Lighting up, by itself, would be harmless, even if your phone is usually in your pocket.
I was going to suggest tasker, but I never got anywhere with it (at least, the things I wanted to do, which don't appear to be too extravagent, apparently require either a rooted phone or additional non-free plug-ins).

As other member have already described, the screen keps turned on for a long period of time when a BT device connects. So it's battery waste and it's likely that I execute unwanted actions like calling someone
But thank you anyway... I'll try it with tasker and will share my solution here if I find one..
I have a Pioneer car stereo, but I haven't noticed my screen turning on. I'll test this when I get off work.
I did notice though that sometimes the BT volume goes to 50% as mentioned earlier.
My screen does not turn on when it connects to My pioneer car stereo.

I have Z2 and Uconnect stereo in my car and my screen turns on when connects to stereo.
Bumping the topic.. exact same problem. Screen lights up every time I connect via BT to my car Kenwood stereo. Very very irritating. Battery drains out without even my knowing it. Seems like a serious bug.
Hi,
My S10e started to have low contrast (very poor back value) and is runny very hot in battery mode. When plugged in the phone is fine.
The behavior usually starts when the phone is waking up in battery mode. It immediately cools down when plugged into a power source. Switching the screen off and on again while plugged in is fixing the colors.
I have my S10e (G9700) now for one year. Yesterday it suddenly started the weird behavior. I haven't installed any new apps or changed any setting.
The only unusual was that it ran out of power and I was not able to charge it for a couple of hours. When I arrived home I plugged it in and charged it to 40%. I unplugged it and started the phone and I run into the trouble I described above.
Sometimes a restart helps till the screen is switching off for standby. Waking the phone up results again in the weird behavior of the colors and the phone is running hot and the battery drains in super fast.
I can't debug the behavior with adb as the phone is running fine as long it is plugged in.
Any ideas what that could be and how to fix that?
Is there a way to connect with adb in unplugged power condition?
I appreciate every help.
Cheers
The issue seems to be connected to the last System update for the S10e. After a factory reset the phone was working fine for two days. After the System update G9700ZHU2BTA2 the issue is appearing again.
And what happens if you go back to BSL7?
I installed BSL7 with odin. The same issue seems to keep happening. It seems the update G9700ZHU2BTA2 and the appearance of the issue was just a coincident.
I'll install ASJU in the next days just to check if the issue is existing in Android 9 as well.
I'm living in Singapore and Samsung support here has rejected to take care of the issue. They are not even able to send the device to Hong Kong to fix the issue. Neither is Hong Kong is accepting that I send the device to them. Only personal handover at the HK support center. Has anyone here experience how to deal with the Samsung support? I have not expected that from an global player like Samsung.
Anyone an idea?
It seems not to be connected with the power source. The issue seems to be connected with the "always on screen". When the always on screen is displaying nothing in the moment of waking up the phone this issue appears.
A workaround now for me is to turn the "always on screen" always on
A tool that is switching on the always on screen before waking up the phone would be hotfix. Any idea if it is possible with the Android SDK to hook in there?
