Anyone having issue with this? It will be good until the screen turns black with just connecting the USB to read/transfer files to card or phone and also when using Samsung Kies.
The weird thing is if I do the mod to load it as a UMS device it works perfectly with screen off or on.....
What can I do to resolve this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm running Synergy's 1.2 Rom
Happened before I was rooted as well.
I"m guessing that no one else is having this issue? Do you think that maybe my GSIII is defective, or am I missing something... I've tried turning debug mode on and off.... but there isn't an option to keep the screen awake when connected....... would a cpu governor be doing it?
I haven't had any problems with it. Mine continues to copy when the screen turns off. One thing you might use as a workaround is to set up a new Tasker profile if you have it installed. You can set it up such that when it is receiving power from a usb connection only, not from the ac charger, to set the screen timeout to something like 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. Then just put an exit task that sets it back to the original value.

I was having the same problem. Its a security issue.
Go to Settings>Security>Disable debug Mode and make sure it is unchecked.
This worked for me. MTP stays connected now.

Hey, I am taking a Android Tablet and installing it in the car.
Anyone know of a battery app or something else that I can set the device to auto power down (All Radios, Screen) when power is shut off to the charger.
Obviously when I turn the key and power is supplied to the tablet through the charger it will turn on, and with the screen set to never sleep I am set when I get in.
Just looking for a something that will auto shut down when I get out.
Thoughts?
I don't think there is a way for a normal app to do this.
If you are rooted there is a shell commands that can achieve this.
Have you looked in the market or on the net?
If you are rooted and you cant find any solution let me know, i might give writing such an app a try .
Thanks for the Reply Dark3n!
I spent hours yesterday research and downloading Battery and Power Control apps from the Market (free versions). I was able to find MANY apps that will somewhat do what I am looking for but only based on the Battery percentage, see "JuiceDefender".
Researching the paid versions of the app's got me nowhere, not enough documentation for me to risk the money and just download to see if the feature was there. If someones paid version of an App will let me do this please let me know and I will try it.
If you could write an app like this I would certainly donate to you or any group that you wish!!!!
Funny after I hit reply I looked at your signature, I downloaded your app yesterday too! Your type of app was what I was looking for, just need to add the feature.

, you probably mean the power manager.
Nah that app is fine as it is, but i could write a small app to do this, maybe polish it a little later and put it on the market for others.
In my head its already done
I don't have too much spare time at the moment, but i will keep you updated on any progress.
Could you open a console on your device and type as superuser:
"shutdown" or "shutdown now" or
"halt" or "halt now" or
"poweroff" or "poweroff now".
To see if any those commands are supported on your device?
Device HTC Flyer: Running LeeDroid 2.2.0 Kernel 2.3 - 2.6.35.14
"Shutdown now" = Shut the device off (had to boot it)
"Shutdown" = Shut the device off (had to boot it)
"halt" = Nothing
"halt now" = Nothing
"poweroff" = Nothing
"poweroff now" = Nothing
None put the device to sleep.
Do you want the device turned off?
Or in just any state using the least power possible?
In a state that uses the least amount of power possible.
We could put the phone into airplane mode and turn the screen off, and on charger connect we turn airplane mode off, and put the screen on always on?
That sounds great.
Got a prototype almost rdy.
And here it is

Let me know what you think.
Did you try it?
Hey Man sorry was out with girl yesterday. No cell phones allowed .
Just installed it and it works except for the screen. On power off wifi and Bluetooth shut down and airplane mode is enabled (gps stays on) but the screen never sleeps. Now I don't know if this is due to my low battery and the message popping up "please connect a charger". I am charging now and will report back.
On power up airplane mode shuts off and what ever I had enabled before comes back on.
Thanks man... I will let you know once I get her charged up.
Cool .
I don't think GPS stays on, i think its just showing that it is enabled.
Try using a GPS app with airplane mode on.
Regarding the screen staying, is it possible that another app is running in background or a system setting keeps the screen on?
I don't think i can force other apps to release their lock on the screen.
Well, the lack of communication here is a bit discouraging...
I put the app on the market for anyone else looking for the same solution.

Write "dumpsys power" in console/shell. It will tell you who or what is keeping a wakelock.
I have tried a few auto turn off apps on my transformer while screen is off but WIFI still stays on. These Apps work well on My Samsung galaxy.
Another thing I noticed is that everytime I set the WIFI disconnect policy to turn off wifi when screen is off. The setting goes back to "never". Not sure how it gets reset, and maybe thats why these apps do not work.
Any ideas?
revolver parts wit revolver rom, the revolver parts app let you turn of wifi automatic
I am on stock rom for now, until I read thru all of the forum and get comfortable with switching rom. I am rooted atleast and have CWM installed.
So is there any other app?
Auto airplane mode from the market. It turned off for me.
Try with Tasker
will try auto airplane mode but I need something that turns off wifi when screen goes off.
Also, afraid to buy tasker before I know it works.

Auto Airplane Mode will turn WiFi off when screen shut off.
I use it, work great. The one I use for some reason is not in the market any more
but there are others.
TRIED auto airplane and did not work.
I think the issue is that something always changes the setting to never turn wifi off . Instead of what I keep on setting it to disable wifi when screen is off.
Is there a app that is changing the wifi policy settings>?
green power app fixed my problem. found this out in another thread.
I'm using tasker with a profile to turn airplane mode on 5 minutes after display goes down. It doesn't sleep if there are certain apps which require internet connection (tunein radio for example) and turns off airplane mode for 1 minute every 30 minutes.
I'd never used tasker before, i own an Android phone too, but i found it simply amazing!
Seems like you have an app that wants to keep wifi on. If I were you, I'd try to get to the bottom of this and figure out which app is causing this issue to occur. In fact, the culprit sounds fishy.
I use my tablet as an alarm clock and it has always worked perfectly. After the last system update, though, I find that I can't get the sreen to stay on. I have the screen timeout set to 5 minutes, and I cannot override that. I went in to developer settings and set it so the screen stays on when it is plugged in, but that does not work. I tried using the system clock app and using night mode but that also shuts off after 5 minutes, even when plugged in. I tried turning on the screen saver to the clcok setting when it is plugged in but that still does not keep the screen on past 5 minutes.
Anyone have any other ideas for something I could try?
There are a bunch of apps and widgets that make it easy to switch between "normal screen off with delay" or "screen always on". Have you tried one of these ? Since your setting is blocked as you say, I'm not sure if the apps can override it, but you can try.
for instance No screen off (widget)
or Keep screen on (a background app that checks the device's inclination)

I use app Backlight Switch. It has options to show in notifications and has a widget. You can also create an app list that auto-toggles it.
Granted, it's possible I'm just doing it wrong, but I can't seem to get it to kick in.
I have it set to go on when it's on charge, and it should display the lock screen DashClock Widget stuff. If I do the 'try now' option it shows up fine, but not when it's supposed to when it's charging.
Any ideas why? Is my display timeout breaking it, or my 'screen never goes off if charging perhaps.
Yeah, I've been having the same problem. Got it set to open Timely (in Night Mode) when on charge, but it never does.

I found the problem, its in USB Debug, 'never sleep when charging' turn that off, and it works
Is anyone else experiencing this? My S7's screen will turn on by itself as if a notification has been received, but nothing is there. I have most of the bells & whistles turned off so I know it's not that.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? Really hope it's not a defect as I just put liquid armor on it. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If you Google it you can find several causes, and one more I just found today. Make sure Settings > Display > Keep Screen Turned Off is off. I had it on and my screen would turn on at odd times. Turned it off and problem fixed.
I have this problem on my s7, g4 and j3! And still have no clue wtf is that... Screen just turns on and nothing happens, turns off after timeout. Something with google acc sync maybe ( on ALL phones sync is turned OFF )

You have a broken charging port. That s why it turns on
Can't be the charging port, because it happens to me when the phone is NOT charging. It seems to have something to do with waking the screen on notifications, but there's no specific setting to disable that.
