On my old Xperia Play i could turn on a setting in development to keep the screen awake while plugged in. I was wondering if there were any tweaks or mods that would enable this? Thanks!

Try the SwitchPro widget, worked on my old D2G. I think Tasker could also be made to do pretty much the same function, just requires a couple extra minutes on your part. In any case, I would watch out leaving the screen on. There have been instances of "burn-ins" on the Super AMOLED screens.

I'd like to find something automatic so I don't have to switch a toggle on and off, that's why I liked the while plugged in option
That way it isn't 'always on,' just when I need it to be. But thanks I'll give it a try!

Yeah unless you flash CM you won't be able to have that option. I think you can set Tasker to keep the display on when the usb port is active though.

So, as the title says, I have the N1 resting in the dock and charging. I want to use Google Talk so I tap the home button and open Google Talk. Between the tap on the home icon and anywhere after the Nexus One will automatically return to the clock app. I can tap home again and randomly it will again return to the clock.
Is there a way to a) disable the clock (I'll miss it, but it's almost frustrating enough to never use it again) or b) disable return to the clock app? I don't see any settings to accomplish this so it's probably some power user trick. I don't think this is occurring because the N1 is losing contact with the dock while I'm tapping as it's resting pretty solid in the dock.
Any ideas?
I guess you could put a small piece of tape over the middle pin and that should prevent it from going into the Clock app but still allow it to charge.
try dock nothingness from the market, it will let you select it and when its docked it wont open anything.

Excellent recommendation. I tried a couple of the Droid dock app and they were buggy. This app is consistent. Thanks.

im glad people use it haha, dumb app, i know, but somepeople find it useful, I did this once I got the dock unboxed, I was getting really annoyed of things opening up automatically.

I don't think the app will stop working because it is not a hack, it's using documented and officials Sticky BroadcastReceivers for detecting the dock, opening "Dock Nothingness" instead, however, the "Dock Nothingness" app is nothing, so it closes it self right away giving the user the illusion of the phone not really opening anything
When I read the thread topic, I was like "yeah, its damn frustrating!".
velazcod: Thanks for the app to fix this nuisance.
I look forward to the next version that does even more nothing!
Updated, make sure to go into the app's preferences -> Phone and select "Nexus One / CM5" if you are on CM5.0.3+

Just received my desktop dock and the clock application was driving me mad within 10 minutes of making and receiving calls etc.
Dock nothingness is great - thanks for the suggestion....................
One of the things I find irritating about the dock is when I'm playing music through the bluetooth connection it initializes automatically and I take the phone off to send a text or whatnot it unpairs its self. Can I force it to stay paired until I turn off bluetooth?

Yes, connect and pair before docking it
I do that now, but I have to dig through the wireless menu. Is there a widget or something that will connect to a predefined device with one touch?

For some reason the dock won't allow to auto-connect when in range, it does this for other devices, like headsets....
I have a rooted thunderbolt (thanks for all who made that possible). in the last couple of days I have noticed that the screen does not timeout. I don't know if it is a rouge app, or some other problem. I have done some searching and it appears that I am not the only one with this problem, but I have not seen a solution to the problem yet.
After a reboot it does appear to work correctly for a time though. If it is an app how would I find out which one is doing it? As a side question. If I do a hard reboot will I lose root?

Go to Spare Parts > Battery History and select "Partial Wake Usage" from the first dropdown. Should tell you what the culprit is.

i've noticed the same thing intermittently over the last few days, let me know if you figure out how to fix it
Yeah, I get this too.
Do you guys run Titanium? My screen wouldn't turn off this morning, and now that I'm paying more attention, I noticed Titanium ran an auto-backup last night on the charger. That might just be a coincidence, but something to look out for.

The only time I had this happen was when I bumped the volume buttons as I was setting the phone down. Somehow the volume indicator on the screen got stuck or something and the screen never shut off. I just started being more careful not to bump the volume, or actually pressing the power button to shut the screen off. Idk if this is your issue or not, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Change the setting to disable "partial wake locks" (in TB) and it will go back to sleep.
pandora radio also has a toggle to keep the screen on while its in use.
maybe you guys are using pandora?

Well everything about the android is good and getting better, but weve seem to have neglected the physical hardware. namely the power button.
This application will wake the phone for 10 seconds when any notification(theoretically) is received. this includes changes to existing notifications too. this will reduce the need for using the physical power button to turn the phone back on, this is very usefull for IM apps, email, or things that require short reaction timespans(for many people SMS)
In combination with the notification power widget(or another app that can turn off the screen) you can reduce the use of the button and preserve its lifespan.
This app leverages the accessibility api of android to detect when notifications are changed, and accessibility must be enabled by the user.
installation: install like you would normally(from attachment) and then go to settings > accessibility options > NotifyWake
it will run only when its been selected from the accessibilty.
P.S.: feel free to let me know of any ideas or problems with it.
[update]
added in timeout options and some other experimental features, havnent had much time to add stuff but what i wrote a long time ago
[update 2]
added in whitelist/blacklist filter options, got rid of the osd notify(it isnt finished nor intended to be a part of this app) remember, enable in accessories
[update 3 may/29/2012]
-fixed bug where if filter is disabled, it doesnt function.
+added api 15 compatibility for appearance(functionality remains unaffected so far)
+added fastscroll/thumbscroll on filter activity
*attempted to make seekbar item match default items themes, if anyone can help would be nice

I tested this on my Optimus Chic and it works great, although i only tested it with SMS.

Juice Defender actually uses more juice than its saves. By default wifi gets turned off when the device goes so sleep. All that stays awake is you mobile data, unless and app keeps the wifi on. Most android devices have a very good battery life, requiring you to charge at most once a day unless the device is being taxed by constant use. I suggest you charge when you go to sleep and get rid of Juice Defender. This app works perfectly and I get my happy 12-18 waking hours on my device, unless playing games. On my other android device which i use only for calls, 2 days without charge and no battery profile managers

curious what internet has to do with this app. im not familiar with juice defender. only cases that i i think it wouldnt work well would be when an app sends a notify because the phone sleeps. in which case i would find a different app...
i will add in a way to make an ignore list.
Another good little app.
Few requestsbwould be default- option to decide amount of time screen is on
and a scheduler - like off at night.

useful app, however i found that it bypasses the screen lock. would be good if u fix that. useful app nonetheless, keep up the good work!
interesting, are you using a 3rd party lockscreen? nothing in the source touches the lock screen. in fact, this app doesn't have that permission in the manifest.
I realised its a user problem, nth to do wif ur app. so sry.
its all ok man

just so its posted here, xabbber will not function correctly. i emailed them, they dont think its important to correct their notifications to proper standards for this case. as a result, xabber will have inconsistent triggering of notifywake. im trying to get the cash to make my dev account and really get into deving.
if anyones got info about the ics toast/notification changes, PM me please?
Can anyone recommend and good screen lock/off app? I want something that I can press on my homescreen instead of having to press the power button when im driving. I used Screen Lock and Off on my nexus but supposedly it's not compatible with the s3. All the others Ive tried either have delays or some unnecessary animations etc. Im looking for something nice and simple. Thanks

I've used Invisible Lock Widget in the past, but it seems like you have to hit it twice on the S3 to get it to work.
I use something simply called "lock screen widget" available in the market. Works perfectly.
Thanks I will give these a try.

Screen Lock and Off works perfectly fine on my S3 (as well as my wife's). Initially, it would either flicker first then turn off, or the screen would go blank for 2 seconds or so then turn back on. I solved this by going into settings and checking the "Delay Device Locking" option. It says, "If the screen turns off and comes back on immediately or you want to use screen off animiations, then you can use this option." The apps now works great.

Ok found the Screen Off and Lock apk at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577380
The screen comes back on for a second after pressing, but then shuts off (with the delay option enable) which I guess is better than nothing. The others mention in this thread don't keep the screen off, but thanks for all your help anyway.
If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
The screen timeout modes only let you set various timeouts... but I'd like to have an easy way to make the screen stay always-on for when I'm in the car. It works all right for GPS apps because they force it, but google music still turns off

there are other ways to do it, but I use the app "My Settings Pro" to set the screen timeout to never, works perfectly.
Does it give you a way to do it as a quick toggle? Like I said, I don't want this always... just when I'm in the car.. and even so... something automated would be nice.

I made a dock shortcut to open the app with one click.
The app gives a screen with a bunch of toggles for settings: ringer mode>screen brightness>lock screen on/off>WiFi on/off>GPS on/off>Bluetooth on/off>AutoSync on/off>auto rotate on/off>screen timeout>Airplane Mode on/off>network mode etc.etc.etc.
I have used it in my last 4 phones, it is one of the first apps I always install after a ROM flash.
Another way would be to use widgetsoid and a screen timeout toggle to accomplish this. You can make it toggle pretty much any settings you want.
