Dock Question

I recently purchased a nexus s and dock. I was under the impression if i used the dock only the time would show up and float around the screen. What i am getting is the dock turns on the clock app that shows the weather and the four buttons (alarm ,music etc). Do i need to download a different app to get just the time floating around? I am afraid of leaving it the way it is because I dont want to ruin the screen having the clock sit like that all night, besides that it is too bright.
I am using stock rooted 2.3.7.
Thanks.

Turns out I was being impatient. After I left it long enough it started working as expected

For what it's worth, I use Alarm Clock Plus (here) to customize many options of the alarm. You can have it for free (ads) or pay a small amount for it. Enables you to customize a lot of settings (including timeout of screensaver and colors), set mathematical solving alarms and plenty of crazy stuff. I've never looked back since I started using it, and what's awesome is that in appearance it is the same as the built-in alarm.

I also use Alarm Clock Plus and it is highly recommended. I love the "nap" feature to easily set an alarm for a short nap by just touching the onscreen clock and selecting the time you want to sleep. As mentioned above it has a bunch of settings and no attempts were made to look all flashy

I tried out Alarm Clock Plus and really like it, especially the ability to set the screensaver to only 1 minute and that I can adjust the color/brightness of time floating around.
One thing i have noticed is that the 4 capacitive buttons remain lit when it is in the dock. Is there a way to have them off?

Absolutely, if you are using a kernel with one of Ezekeel mods (franco kernel, glados, trinity, steve garon stuff, mathkid's etc) and backlight dimmer you can set a timeout for the capacitive buttons to power down.

Which app did you mean? The buttons are not lit because of a notification, they just turn on for some reason when the phone is docked. The settings in the BLN app don't seem to do anything except time out when you have a notification. I need something that will allow the cap button to turn off when the phone is docked when there are no notifications present at all.

Exactly what I just told you.
If you are using a kernel with Backlight Dimmer from Ezekeel, you should be able to do this.
Kernels from Morfic, Franco, Ezekeel, Mathkid and Steve Garon all offer Ezekeel mods as far as I'm aware.
You can set the Backlight dimmer options manually or using NSTools (Tweak tab).

Ahh, yes. Right in front of my eyes. I was still thinking in my old LCD terms... I thought that meant back light as in the display... Still not used to the SAMOLED screen
Thank you again

No problem. There's a lot of made up terminology and very few guides so it can get confusing at some point.

Odd ARHD Issue (All 4.1.xx versions) - Requires Removing Battery.

So my brothers and I all experience this on our Sensations since beginning to use ARHD in late November.
Ranging anywhere from once a day to once a week, we will get this issue where our phone goes into a lock state, but will not exit. It doesn't matter what battery level the phone is at. The phone is quite clearly on, but the screen won't wake, no buttons will respond. The only solution is to remove the battery and reboot.
Anyone run into this as well?

Does it seem to happen at a certain time? After opening a certain app?
Does sound odd though.

The only certainty I can say is that it happens when no applications are open and the screen goes into lock mode. It also happens regardless of the launcher being used (I use FX, my brother uses HTC Rosie, the other uses Go).

+1 I have this issue too...I lowered my overclock and it's been working fine since
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G

I assume that is performed through SetCPU? Or Daemon.
In Daemon, there's only four options, Sleep and Wake Max, Sleep and Wake Min - how did you fix yours?

Anyone offer a tip on this?
I don't have SetCPU on my phone (looks like it was replaced?)
Don't want to bork my phone, just wondering how to dial down the overclock slightly to prevent this hard crash.
Thanks

ARHD has Daemon Tools I think, with this you can reduce your overclock.
However my suggestion would be to increase the Maximum sleep CPU speed. [Sleep Max]
I can't remember but I think be default it is at ~440MHz, increase it by around 600MHz and see if that fixes the problem. If so you can reduce it gradually to save battery, stopping if the problem redevelops.

Thankee very much!

I have a similar issue with ARHD 3.6.11, but it happens only if I use the camera app. It may or may not be immediately on taking pictures, but seems to happen only when camera app is in memory. I have not changed any undervolting or overclocking settings.
Any ideas?

If it happens when you press the power button to turn the screen off while you are using the camera app, it is a known problem (of faux's kernel, that comes out of the box for ARHD).
To solve you have to flash Bricked kernel. Or stay on faux and live with that.

Does this particular known issue apply if the screen turns off on its own due to inactivity time? What about if camera app is in background?
Does faux kernal need a camera fix similar to the one for bricked?

[q] Lockscreen doesn't timeout?

I'm running CM11s 33R with franco kernel r14 and Google Now Launcher. When I manually turn on my screen with the power button or double tap, to check the time for example, the screen will not go back to sleep. However if it turns on automatically because I received a text or snapchat, it will sleep if I leave it alone. Anyone else getting this issue/ have any fixes? I have screen sleep set in display settings to be after 30 seconds of inactivity so i'm wondering what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
Edit: It actually seems like my screen timeout isn't working at all, past the lock-screen, even while i'm in the actual device or an app.

Are you plugged in? In developer options, there's an option for the screen to never sleep while plugged in. If not, the answer to everything: reboot the phone!

Nope not plugged in, and i reboot multiple times on a daily basis and that hasn't fixed it.

For me, when I double tap or press the power button and leave it there, the screen will go back to sleep after 30 seconds. My old phone would turn off the screen after 5 seconds on the lockscreen. There doesn't seem to be a setting for this and it's just automatically set at 30 seconds.

i also got this problem
I got this problem also
i'm running same Stats like: CM11S 33R, test with Franco Kernel R14, Trebuchet Launcher.
If i doesnt turn my screen off by power button the screen will be stay activ anyway no-matter which settings i set on Options

i also have this problem... annoying... any update?

I am also having this problem.
In my case, the screen will stay on indefinitely. I have timeout set to 30sec.
I have "Llama" app running, and configured to disable my lockscreen based on location. This could be generating some problems... But I don't think so.
Any new thoughts or fixes?

Only way to find out is disable that app or whatever it does then testing it out

OPO lags and waking up problem

Hey there guys!
I'm a happy owner of oneplus for about 3 weeks now but I noticed that after a few days of usage the device slows down gradually, up to a point where using it is quite troublesome. Also the wake up button seems to fail at times, where I have to press it 3-4 times to wake up(today it failed to wake up and I had to restart it). Any idea what might be causing it? I'm on the CM11S newest update, no kernel changes whatsoever, interactive governor and TWRP installed.
Thanks in advance!

I'm running PA 5.1, facing a similar issue. Capacitative buttons light up immediately after pressing the power button (or double tap) but the screen lags for about 2 seconds.

Nope. Done nothing of this sort. Moreover, the lag occurs only if I wake the phone after 3-4 minutes of screen off. If I wake it immediately after turning the screen off, there's no lag.
PS: I'm on AK Kernel 300.

app to force sleep and screen off at same time

i heard that the note 20 ultra may not be sleeping cores when screen is off and idle
also i have seen apps that can shut the screen off while forcing sleep at the same time
do not know what to type to find it as i want to test it on my note 20 ultra. anyone know of such apps list them below...

I use greenify. You don't have to be rooted to use it and there is a setting that puts apps you select to sleep and turn screen off (that might be a root feature tho, I'm not sure, I don't use it, I just have it set to force stop battery draining apps).

3rd party power management apps tend to screw things up by creating conflicts. You may find it better to let Android do it without using any other apps except to shutdown apps that are known offenders.
On my load it's Bixby (except Bixby Vision and Bixby Vision Framework) all cloud apps, Samsung Push, Gmail, Google backup Transport and Backup Transport Framework.
All I'm using is PD MDM and Settings changes on my 10+ running on Pie. You will need to -play- with it to optimize it. Most guides and power management apps just drop the ball.
Monitor it. The usage you see is AOD running. After I turned off the screen Android powered all the running Apps down. No trivmcks; in Stand By Apps you can see all are in the Active state, all the time, always but they power down when not in use. So much for buckets... using Samsung Device Manager adaptive power management will toggle those buckets to various states and cause more battery drain eventually.
Use Galaxy Labs>Battery Tracker
It's possible the newer versions of Samsung Device Manager run fine but test by monitoring and always be wary of all 3red party power management apps!

Have you looked into Bixby Routines or an app like Tasker where you can create rules? I can't say this will work (I don't use these apps), but if you haven't looked into using rule setting apps, that may be a solution for you.

still someone mentioned the note 20 ultra may not be sleeping the phones cores that is why battery life is so out of whack. i just wanted an app that when i tape it it will turn off the phone and sleep the cores instantly. someone mentioned it is better then waiting for the time it takes to let the phone do it. this will help me find out if the cores sleep or not buy using the app to see if it will give me better battery life. really no harm will be done. the phone sleeps cores anyway. but if a bug is keeping them awake i want to catch it and report it. so it be nice if i can find an app to shut off screen and sleep the cores as well and it will save my power button from wear

All I would like is an icon on my home screen that I could tap to turn the screen off. I feel I’m wearing out the power button the amount of times I use it to turn screen off. Not found any other way to do it

Mine does but no idea how yours is configured.
The app simple turns off the screen same as hitting the power button.
Apps like Greenify tend to make a mess out of unrooted phones.

To what end? I have about 60 apks blocked, no sync running for Gmail, Calendar, etc, no cloud apps, no trash message apps, no FB, Playstore is blocked unless I unblock it and no 3rd party power management*.
My OS "sleeps" within a minute or so of turning the screen off.
Still a lot of stuff running though plus I'm using AOD.
It uses a little under 1% of battery per hour and better with no AOD.
Reboots generally don't fix power issues at all.
*all 3rd party power management apps including Samsung's Device Manager (disabled) cause more problems than they solve and many times cause excessive power consumption as well. All my app buckets show as active in Developer Options.

i bet, but some have said it is not sleeping cores that may be the same as os sleeping. and why wait a min when you can have an app do it when you tap it. i just want to test if forcing the os/phone into sleep will make a difference and they got apps that can turn off screen and force sleep i just can not find them. i found one in 2015 and lost it forever

I use Nap Time by Francisco Franco the kernel developer for rooted devices from a couple years ago. It will put the phone into a deep doze, which android already has. You will need to do a couple adb commands to get it working on non rooted phones, it's one of the first apps I install on a new phone. The phone can sit 10 hours over night and drop between 3-5%, you can have it turn bluetooth, wifi and data off while in a doze. Here's what Franco says about his app.
This is the real battery saver. No placebo and dumb marketing shenanigans!
Naptime lowers your device's power consumption while the display is off by empowering Android's built-in doze power saving functionality. Faster idle means less power being consumed unecessarily. By default doze can take a while to kick in so Naptime just speeds-up that process automagically for you.
It can also automatically disable W-iFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth as soon as doze kicks in.
Experimental features such as automatic Android Battery Saver, Aggressive Doze timings, Aggressive Doze scheduling times and location detection.
Now you have profiles so you can load them up on demand based on your usage and accessible from Quick Tiles.
Most features work if you're not rooted, but to have the full experience you'll have to root your device.

You can't double tap with that one; set one or more of the slides to turn off the screen. I use that as to kill the screen, navigate and more.
Double Tap is the one that does just that.

It turns off the screen. There's always system apks running in the background unless you power off the phone. You can limit what runs to some extent.
If your getting around 1% per hour battery drain when the screen is off I call it done.
