I am running a ICS rom 3.32.401.5_R. I would like to configure it so when I am plugged in to usb the screen allways stays on, but when the phone is not plugged in it switches off.
I have seen a setting under display for screen time out, but it does not seem to matter if you are charging or not.
Is there a way to change this?
Edit never mind! Just found the option in development option!
help with samsung galaxy tablet 2 power button !
*Hi guys*I'm finally making the move and have bought a Samsung galaxy tablet 2 for my bmw e46 dash but have found a problem and wondered if any of you guys have a work around for it ?As you know the power button is on the edge of the tablet externally so once it's installed behind the dash you can't push it to either lock the screen or take it out of sleep mode and also it doesn't matter have a proximity to sensor built in etc*Any idea how I can press this power button while it's behind the dash either by the touchscreen using an app or another way that anybody can think of cause I'm stuck ??*So help ppl**
I've read some people use an app called TASKER to set it so that when they crank the car (giving the tablet power thru the charger) the screen comes on and stays on till its turned off. maybe check more into that?
use a custom rom with volume key waking up option.

If he won't have access to his power button after mounting the tablet in the dash, he probably won't have access to the volume buttons either.
here is a thread from another site where a guy put a nexus 7 into the dash of his vette http://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-electronics/1584175-c6-android-tablet-stereo-dash-install.html
If your'e thinking about doing a hardware mod , Try AdamOutler (XDA TV) He does some pretty cool stuff and may offer some solid advice. Knows his stuff thats for sure.
XDA unboxing /tutorial Adam Outler style
Guess you could move the power button onto the dash itself if the device is getting built into it as a permanent fixture ? Not that id have a clue how to do that lol.
Not making any mod to the tab: You may mount a solenoid, http://www.solenoidcity.com/solenoid/solenoidcatalog.htm on the dash to actuate the switch. Will require some mechanical / electrical skill to accomplish the job..
fixed?
did you ever find a solution.. I have the same car and the same issue
Thanks!
Thing is you can easily get apps from store to
1.lock screen
2.turn off tab
3.toggle volume
But real problem comes with turning on tab...
Though you can turn on tab from sleep via some apps called smartawake and others(believe of there are lot of them on play)
By these apps you can turn on tab using proximity sensor(it will work),vibrations
But for instance when your tab gets off you have to press power button.
That can be done by pressing in physically or a hardware hack(you got to open up your tab and do stuff with your power buttons.like providing external switch to it etc)

Hey guys I am having a similar problem with my galaxy tab install in the car. I come out in the morning and the tablet is dead. I am currently charging it via usb but was planning on putting a power inverter in the glove box for faster charging (maybe?) What I would really like to do is to be able to extend the power button leads to an external button that I can mount in the dash. Anyone done this before or have any suggestions?
Someone recommended Tap Tap App (lock and unlock the screen with a double tap on the proximity sensor) around here. I've tried it and it works.

Yea that would work for turning the screen on and off, but im talking about if the tablet dies completely. It will be getting charge when I turn the car back on but I wouldn't be able to turn the tablet back on itself because I can't get to the power button.

Your Tab will boot into charge mode. Maybe you can change the init script logic: if boot into charge mode, wait a minute, and then reboot into normal mode.

Now that would be awesome. I am a total noob with stuff like that. How would you even go about something like that?

There are some changes that can be made to the kernel to boot the os when powering the tablet. I had this behavior on my lgp500 as a bug on cm builds. To keep the display on you can check keep display on during charging.

I'll try. But now I am so tired, back from my real work duty. A short break after driving my car for about 3 hours, 1 hour from home 3.49AM here
Just to over simplify the first thing that came too my mind was a knob with an off set round plug on the other side...turn the knob you push the button..

I have a very specific tweak I want to achieve. When removing the phone from a wireless charger the screen screen remains off.
Is there a way to get the screen to turn on automatically (like if you were to remove from USB charging)

if thr s no built-in setting for accessories so install 3rd party app like smart connect of Xperia to manage wht phone does after a specific action.
:good:
This is crazy, I even downloaded Tasker and still not able to achieve screen on after removal from wireless charging.
It would be a nice feature, I'm using a wireless charger as well and you are right, the display doesn't turn on when you pick up the phone. It's weird because it turns on when you put into the pad (just like a wired charger).
Did you try with "Trigger" app to trigger a task (from Tasker) which turns on the screen when the charger is disconnected?
I will try to do some research, and I will let you know if I find something
Any luck with this? I'm running Xposed Framework + Gravity Box. Even with "Unplug turns on screen" checked under "Display Tweaks", it still only turns on when placed on my Tylt Vu. Doesn't turn on when taken off.
Managed to completely break my screen and somehow I managed to turn on some pesky alarms and such on my phone and it's extremely annoying, so I need to find a way to turn them off.
Jokes aside, is there anything I can do to mirror my phone to my computer and use my mouse and keyboard to control it? I've seen some where you have to start it on the phone first, but that's out of the question for me since the screen is 100% unusable.
Edit: I'm thinking the best course of action is to connect my USB mouse to it and use adb screenshots to work my way around to get AirDroid going.
Hi,
my name is Josemari, from Spain.
I have a TF101 with dock (and original rom from Asus) that does not display anything on screen since a soft fall from 10cm (daughter in a very very small chair).
When i plug the charger, it works (and beeps -charge-). When i plug the dock, also beeps. When i connect through hdmi output to my tv, it also works. I can use the tablet perfectly with my fingers.
What can i do?
I disassembled the tablet and i checked all conectors, but i do not see anything wrong.
Thanks.
I had the exact same problem. Even though it has fallen before without a problem, in my last 2 cases it was a loose connection for the video screen. I had to open up the tablet and simply push the video connection back on all the way. It's rather easy if you're familiar with taking things like this apart. Make sure you are careful when you re install the side trim that holds the buttons. It's easy to break the red tabs that press against the buttons. It may be helpful to you to look up a disassembly guide. I believe if you google the specific issue you will find pictures. Again it's been a long time. Hope this helps
I have the same issue since a few days.
Difference here, when I boot up (holding power button until reboot) the screen is on (Asus logo and boot animation)
The display goes balck / disappears (backlight off) when the lock screen comes up.
Checked the inner display cable and connector with no success.
Did a factory reset and it was working again, until I changed the brightness to a higher level. Then the screen was dark again.
I managed to change brightness to a lower level using the working HDMI interface. After that I switched the tablet off and on and the screen was lit up again.
Another effect: when power adapter is plugged in, I can go to a higher brightness level until the backlight turns itself off.
It looks like a hardware defekt of the backlight electronic to me. Couldn't find any spare parts, such as backlight inverter, though.
Can anybody confirm this or knows how to repair?
I will use it at 30-50% brightness now and see if it gets worse over time.
