Hi guys,
I'm using Tasker on my Galaxy Note 1, and I'm facing a huge issue :
I created a task for my car : when detecting my car's bluetooth, it must launch a few apps, and toggle "Display-Stay on" with AC or USB Power, so that my phone's screen stays switched on as long as it is plugged.
There's another task when leaving the car (ie car's bluetooth not detected) where I put "Stay on" to "never".
Seemed to work, but unfortunately I just noticed that now, my screen won't shut off anymore. I have to press the power button to switch it off.
What is surprising is 1) those tasks are not running anymore and 2) I went into the settings and tried to change to time to switch off the screen (set it to 30s) but didn't work...
Do you how can I put the setting back in order?
Here are the details :
- Samsung Galaxy Note 1
- Jelly Bean 4.1.2 LSZ stock, not rooted
Thanks a lot guys for your kind help!!!

There's a few things that could be wrong and without seeing EXACTLY how you set it up, I can't help.
BTW, you should ask this type of question in the tasker forums. It's in Google groups.

Hi all.
I would like to know if there is an app to switch on/off your windows phone automatically. I miss it when i changed from Blackberry to WP. For example i often forget to switch off my phone at night so this app would be very useful for me.
Thanks

I guess it is not a problem to write the aplication witch is able to turn of your phone. But how the hell could aplication turn ON the phone back, if it is tourtned off. For example try to turn on your PC with some kind of application. I guess you get the point.
Of course i get it, even if i'm not a developer. It would be great to have just an auto-switching off app. However, don't know how, blackberry has got it.
I would be really pleased if someone wrote this app to switch off the phone.
thanks again
I actually don't think blackberries turn off completely until the battery is either completely dead or removed. I know when a blackberry is "off" it still has the ability to turn back on when an alarm is going off so I would assume that it just goes into a low power standby state. However, when you turn off Windows Phone, it's off.
This should be posted @ [email protected] section.
I didn't do that because i must write 10 post before writing in that section
Actually, my PC will turn on at a given time, but I don't believe these phones can do the same. Also, if it does turn off at a certain time, you would not be able to have it plugged into a charger. When WP is plugged in, it automatically turns on. I believe that's a hardware design.
Reboot App Perhaps???
I DONT KNOW ABOUT A SHUT DOWN APP BUT HERE IS A REBOOT... PRE-MANGO
If you have pre-Mango (pre-7712+) you can use the attached .xap, its an app that was developed by someone here at the forums... I changed the icon for the start screen but that is all...
For shutdown, just hold the pwr button at this time... sorry... jejeje
I think what he's looking for (as I am) is a version of Phone Alarm or Pocket Phone Zen. They automatically turn things like WIFI, BT, Phone, etc. on or off at preset times. PA can also do that when plugged into a charger so BT will turn on when the phone's in the car holder for hands free. I haven't been able find anything in the Marketplace.
For restart phone on Mango try that app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333740
I use for shut off/on power button.
In Blackberry when you press the power button off it does not get really turned off. Its in sleep mode which actually just closes the user state but the kernel keeps ticking and thats the reason any app in background hooked to kernel can turn it on which is actually waking it up from sleep.
Moreover in sleep mode everything used to get shut off i.e call it airplane mode. So if somebody can make a WP app which can just turn on and turn off the airplane mode, it should work for you.
Have a look at Phone Alarm for WM 6.x It is able to do so much more. Things I would like to see in an app for WP7 are:
scheduled on/off of WIFI, BT, phone, GPS, data connection.
scheduled sync of email at longer intervals like every 6 hours (WP7 max is 2 -not everyone has a data flatrate.)
Scheduled and location based volume adjustment. (quiet at home, loud in the car, etc.)
BT, GPS auto-on if charging ("Car" profile if charging, see next point)
Profiles that can be changed with one click. (for example "Meeting" profile turns off sound, reduces display brightness, turns off WIFI, turns on BT etc.)
doesn't have to be cost free but does need to be bug free
Cheers
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
http://goo.gl/wWuC3
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.

Sorry Dark. Thanksgiving week, ton of family in town. I will have a few a hours today.
Even at full charge screen still stays on. I need to go through all the running apps and the one that is keeping it on.
setcpu or voltage control

Write "dumpsys power" in console/shell. It will tell you who or what is keeping a wakelock.
Hi all ,
I've recently been using the Tune In Radio app over 3G and it's been perfect .
If I turn on Wi-Fi , it gets disconnected after about 15 minutes .Turning the screen back on for a few seconds is enough to get to connect again .
The same thing happens if I use the Wi-Fi option with the HTC Sense media player - it'll stream music perfectly from my server for about 15 minutes then disconnect itself .
Turning the screen back on for a few seconds is enough to get to connect again .
I have power saver disabled in the power options ,and I'm running a "Three" branded phone , with the recent 2.3.5 / Sense 3 update .
It also did this before the update .
Is there any setting I have missed ?
Does this happen to anybody else ?
Thanks

This sounds like your Wi-Fi Sleep Policy Setting. It is set to '15 minutes' and needs to be changed to 'never'.
Go Menu> Settings> Wireless & Networks> WiFi Settings> press 'Menu' then select 'Advanced' and change the Wi-Fi sleep policy drop-down.
This will stop your phone cutting Wi-F- off 15 minutes after screen goes off. I find it actually saves more battery power on this setting too.
Hi ,
I just checked , and the Wi-Fi sleep policy was already set to "never".
I've re-saved the settings and I'll try streaming again in the morning .
Have you any other ideas in case it still disables Wi-Fi after saving the settings ?
Thanks .

Odd. Perhaps a bug with your ROM. I use Tune-In and it works ok for me with screen off for any length of time.
If you are not rooted and able to change ROM to get around this, I'd simply recommend using a screen time-out toggle widget and remember to set screen timeout to off when you want to use Tune-In. Not ideal I know. Sounds like you've got all your settings set correctly.
Can you plz check your router dhcp ip lease time and report back.
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.

Hello!
I'm having a problem on my Zte Axon 7 with the Gear S3, it disconnects shortly after I turn the screen off, then when I turn the screen on the location symbol pops up in the status bar and the watch reconnects. Close the screen and cycle repeats.
I have tried it on both marshmallow and nougat with every battery and gpssetting possible but no change. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking of returning the watch (I don't want to, I love it otherwise).
I'm guessing it has something to do with powersaving but even with everything off there is no change. Could it be that the watch is faulty or is that unlikely?

Hey bro! you should go to Mi-Assistant -> Accelerator -> and set the protection to All Gear apps (Samsung plugin, gear s3, SHealth, etc). Accelerator automaticly clear the active processes in your phone to clean the RAM
Hi Wolfpack,
I fixed it by going to Settings -> Power Manager -> Power Management for Apps -> ⁝ -> Screen-Lock Cleaning -> Disallow Screen-Lock Cleaning and selecting Samsung Gear to ON.
No problems since. Hope that works.
Sorry, disregard the above statement.
After a couple of hours without a drop-out it disconnected when I moved away from the phone and since then it is once again disconnecting as soon as the phone goes into standby mode, no matter how I change the above mentioned settings.
