Hi guys
I have an old android phone with a broken display and it would cost too much to replace it. I can still use the phone when plugged into a screen or TV.
My question is how do I make the display stay off? There is no reason to have on when it's plugged into the TV, just using power and adding heat.
I tried searching online, but I keep finding posts how to make it stay on
Try using Tasker which you can use to make a profile. The profile will turn off your screen once it gets turn on after you plug in your charger.

Seems to cost money
Can you try it out for me before I buy it?

I've tried it and it works. The profile would be whenever your phone screen turns on, your phone screen will turn off.
You can find modded application online so you don't really need to buy it.

So just to make sure, the screen will be turned off, but it still works via the HDMI out on the TV right?
If it's an LCD display I wouldn't worry too much about SOT. The back lighting LEDs probably have a 20K hours lifespan at full brightness.
Turn down the display brightness if you're really concerned.
Direct sunlight is a LCD's worst enemy. They can also be poisoned by solvents. Keep all solvents including isopropyl alcohol away from them.

I don't really have experience with things you're trying to do but the best thing you can do is to actually try it in practice. I cannot guarantee that your monitor will stay on if the phone is off. Download Tasker and you will see.

The screen already has burn-in and broken glass. I just want less heat and power consumption + it might annoy me seeing the light flashing from the phone.

LCD's can have memory "burn in" which is reversible. The broken glass though will eventually destroy the display.
I have S912 box. Once it fell on floor and after that getting hazy display. Tried resetting the box but still same. Any idea on how to fix it?

Blown display maybe mobo or a loose connector.
Only the last is painless.

Turned off my tf last night to charge. Turned her back on now and the boot screen is neon green and so is everything else. Anyone have this problem before?
either overheated cpu/gpu pover off for a couple hours then turn it back on
or digitizer cable is loose either open it yourself or rma
i just took some screen shots and opened them on my computer. The colors are normal. Ill try the power off for a few hours and see what happens. Any other suggestions?
ok if the screen shots are normal that probobly means something is wrong with teh screen its self as like i said before loose digitizer cable
My TF was turned off all day today and is still giving me the green screen. Here are some pictures of what I'm still dealing with.

I actually had the same problem and I jsut turned it off for a couple of hours and it went back to normal
Yeppers... me too.
I noticed some green digitized flickering yesterday when I was moving/angling the tablet while docked. When I opened it, the green digitized color would flash and then go away. I undocked the tablet, powered off and restarted.
The green color was still present and it seemed to go and come as I pressed into the screen. It was almost like the screen was loose a bit from the casing. I did a hard reboot followed by a factory reset. Still the screen was flickering with the green digitized. I found that once I ran my thumb around the edges ensuring that it was tightly fit inside the casing that the screen went back to normal.
I never lost any function or touch sensitivity but am certain that my screen was loosening up abit from the casing. I mailed it off with RMA ticket today. I hope they will fix my tablet and return it soon or replace it.
Tablet has never been dropped, but I do dock & undock often. Furthermore I've found that while docked the tablet wont open much beyond 90 degrees. I'm wondering if me constantly opening it up to it's maximum angle while docked weakened or stressed the casing and loosened the screen. Not sure.
I could not find a bunch of these issues with the TF101 so I'm hoping this is not symptomatic of this model with heavy dock/undock use.
What's the normal turnaround time on these RMAs? Any ideas?
I had sort of simular problem with my transformer. After charging my screen was green and pink.
They will fix at rma because it is backlight leaking. Thats what my report said.
The service wen i sended it was fast. Send on tuesday and 7 days later the allready mailed it back with a new screen.
Mine, definitely had some light bleed around at least 3 sides, but it wasn't distracting so I just ignored it. Hope to get it back soon and without any further issues.

Wait, I can send it in for light bleed?
On a black screen I can see bright spots in the edges, apparently where the backlight is.. I figured it was normal.
Also I have 8 or 10 stuck-on-white pixels. You can't find them unless you have a Black screen. Can I RMA it?
I just got back my son's Transformer from repair after his screen did the same thing only his was red.
Called in to get RMA but was told to do a factory reset first. That, of course, did nothing so back it went. Seems to be fine now but it has only been back a day.
You should have no problem getting it approved for RMA.

It might be a problem with the screen connection
Update/solution: For those who are looking for a similar situation and may stumble across this thread through searches, I managed to find this program on the Play Store that does exactly what I was after and doesn't even need root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mp.screenstayofffree

Anyone know how to prevent the screen from turning on when starting to charge?
I have my phone on my bedside-table but my partner goes to sleep before me so I'd rather not wake her up when putting the phone on to charge!
Previously I used to put phone face down on floor, plug in charger, then turn off screen and place on nightstand. Now I'd like to use the Nokia DT-910, but that obviously faces up-and-out by necessity, therefore I'd like the screen to not turn on when placed on the wireless charger
Anyone able to help? Due to the nature of the search terms, this is REALLY difficult to search for!!!

The light from the phone for 30 seconds is gonna wake her up? She must be a really light sleeper then. Being night too it shouldn't be on 100% brightness unless you changed that so I doubt that will wake her up one bit.
Don't think there's a way though to charge without as then you wouldn't know it's charging unless the charger had a indicating light like some wireless chargers do.

Blackout curtains and the sudden-ness of the light change really makes a difference unfortunately
I'd much prefer to be able to do the considerate thing and not having it light up in the first place if there is even a way to do it!

the only other option you have is to look for an app that might do this. by default, the phone can not disable the light from going on when you plug in.
I'm pretty sur Xposed can help you
You could set an automation using Tasker or even Llama should be able to do it.
At the very least you could use them to set the brightness to switch to 1% to make the least of an impact when it does happen.
well, I gave it another shot searching on play store and kept going through the search results until I found something, and I came across this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mp.screenstayofffree
Tested it out a few times and it does exactly why I'm after! Seems I just didn't look hard enough or I just got lucky this time with the search terms...
Fingers crossed this will work out, otherwise you've all given me a few alternative options that I can work with!
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54871/ which is a forward port of this http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/47159/
That was also in CyanogenMod but just noticed you said you wanted to do it without custom ROMs.
Solution found, mods please lock this thread as "resolved" if you see this post

Don't you know? It never matters what you want. Somebody will always find a reason that your request is foolish.

I have a Nexus 5 and it turns on 100% of the time when placed on any charger, whether via USB or induction charging. It's how I found this thread.
I just received mine in the mail yesterday. Cool a$$ little device. It charges, functions as a trusted BT device, finds my phone, my phone finds it. Moto Connect reads the remaining battery.
I was concerned that it would be too big for my keys, which is not the case. I'm very happy with it. AMA about it.

How long does the battery last if you don't charge your phone with it? Assuming it didn't die already how much percent do you find it drops per day just based off the bluetooth?

I've had one of these a few weeks now (2 actually, but haven't opened the second one up).
The battery drain is less than 1% per day. Since receiving mine and fully charging it, I hadn't charged it at all for at least two weeks and the juice was just down to 90% with the BT turned on.
Unlike the first poster, I find the thing just a hair too large to put on my key chain, but I also have my car's electronic key and another BT tether device on my keychain (no actual keys, though!). I just put my PP in my back pocket (work slacks, not jeans).
I bought two of them. Both of them arrived with the colored cover starting to peel off. Anyone else having this issue?

I ask because mine got here in the same condition. I live in Miami, very hot and humid climate and I wonder if it has to do with that. Call them, they will replace it for you.
Mine have no issues. Turquoise and yellow. Yellow is still in the package but the turquoise one rides on my key chain and after several weeks seems to be holding up fine.

Hi guys. Just a quick question how long does it take for a full charge from the micro to the moto x?

First, it will not charge the device fully. The Power Pack's capacity is 1500mAh, while the Moto X 2014's capacity is 2300mAh. So you're looking at getting about 65% of your battery back at optimal performance, minus some due to technical inefficiencies, and some more due to other limitations.
Second, it charges at 1A. The Moto's charger is 1150mA (1.15A), so it charges the phone slightly slower than the stock charger.
Hope this helps! I personally don't see the value in $40 for such a device, but if I lost my keys and/or phone more often it'd totally be worth it.
Yeah I regret buying it. Every time I use it it only change like maybe 30%+ from a full micro

I started a poll to find out which colors are peeling the most if you folk want to add your two cents:
[POLL]Power Pack Micro, Is Your Plastic Peeling Off?
So I dropped my phone in water a few days ago. After leaving it in rice overnight, nothing seemed wrong except for the fact that my volume down button didn't work half the time, and sometimes it would go off by itself (I would be browsing on my phone and suddenly the volume would go all the way down by itself, as if someone was holding the volume down button). The problem disappeared soon, so I forgot about it. But today, when I tried to change my volume, it wouldn't work at all, so I decided to restart the phone to see if that would fix it. Bad idea, because now no matter what, the phone always boots to recovery. It seems like my phone is registering that the volume button is always being held down, so every time I boot it up, it goes to recovery. Is there any way to bypass this? I can still press down on the button like I normally would be to, so it's not physically stuck.
Pop the back off of it and check the volume down tab to see if its physically stuck or not. The moisture may have caused some corrosion buildup in the tiny aluminum piece that gives it the spring back when released. If its stuck you can try and play with it to see if it'll come loose or try replacing the ribbon cable all together.

Yep, frying bacon good to see a familiar face. I've been on nexus 5/6 forever and steered away from HTC/Samsung. The oneplus is hot tho, Google is going to need a miracle device to get me back! Asus has me sold tho, I'm 4sure grabbing one of their new zenphones to tear into and explore!!

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I've opened the back (which was painstakingly hard), and the button seems to be fine. It seems like there's no difference between that one and the other buttons - it still springs back up when pushed. What do you mean by replacing the ribbon cable? Any other ideas?

No, I come here and mostly just read thru the forums. My schedule isn't as nice as it used to be so I don't get to play much anymore. I'm looking forward to the zenphone tho because I'm thinking the x64 Intel processors will re-light some new excitement for me.

I would probably remove the motherboard and sister board and give them a close look over for some sign of damage or corrosion and maybe use a q-tip with rubbing alcohol to wipe over any I find. Just don't get it on any around the base of the chipset. I think the ribbon cable is soldered to the board if I remember correctly so replacement would be difficult. If its not, replace it.
Few days back I was charging my phone, suddenly it stopped charging at 5%, I can't tell i the charger shook or not but I just turned it off and continued charging. It normally shows the Samsung logo while charging but for some reasons unknown to me it didn't, I didn't think much of it until I tried to turn it on, it turned on without displaying anything and I quickly heard my notifications dropping but my phone was just blank, what could've the problem and how can I fix it pleas
What model of Samsung do you have?
Have you tried a different charger and/or cable?
Have you cleaned the USB port?

What I'd try as a repairmen is first reseat the ribbon cable / replace the display and check... but given they tried replacing ic chip now the phone is even harder to diagnose... you can't trust them that they soldered the chip correctly
There are MANY posts with samsung phones and dead displays... Seems to be a firmware bug, present across their whole lineup

TBH that sounds like a load of bovine excrement. These shops replace batteries, mainboards, and display panels all the time. One of those is the problem. If they can't get the parts, that's one thing; but if they simply tell you they can't fix it, I call bull. It probably won't be cheap, but they should be able to.
