[Q] DIY Project - Desire Cradle

Hi everyone,
I am working on building some htc desire docks as I havent phone a commercially available one that suits (and id like to see my work on my desk!)
The question I have is to do with charging status, basically I want to put an LED in the dock what shows the charging status, the only thing I am not sure about is how to go about actually finding out the charging status! Does the microusb send a signal when battery reaches 100% ?

I think its done off the voltage reading. If you buy a charger which already has an LED indicator on it then you could re-wire it no?
Also you already have the status on the phone LED itself so do you really need this?

Also true, however the plan gets a bit more advanced at this stage, my pc case has colour changing glow lights underneath it (just led's that output different colours at different voltages) So as well as a desktop one I was looking at modifying my case so the phone sits ontop, charges, and the leds change colour when its charged, pointless I know!

nice thread, but sadly no one here seems to be doing diy docks? ive seen some awesome looking diy docks for the droid.. herghost, are u done with your dock?
just wanna share my recently diy lego dock, hope others can join in the fun

MIUI Charging Lock screen

Hi everyone
When I charge my phone (showing top right corner) it no longer shows "Charging" with an estimate on the time left on the bottom of my lock screen.
You can normally double tap this message to show the charging animation. When I double tap on the bottom, it does however show this.
In addition to this, I no longer have decimals when charging with the fast charger. It says Mi super charing, but it shows 84% instead of for example 84.32%

Anyone else having the same issues?

To who it may concern. I factory resetted my phone yesterday and everything is back to normal now. I also have animations in my poco launcher which I didn't have before, so it might of been an issue with the poco launcher app. Hope it helps.

Hey, I resetted the phone using the boot menu (power + volume up).
It did cause my settings to be lost, but I backed up using the micloud and was supprised how well it restored my phone after the reset.

Wtf? It looks like a wallpaper...
Maybe something to do with wallpapers or themes? Any wallpaper apps loaded?
Try in safe mode.

no wallpaper apps. I'll try setting a different theme, but I'm sure it's the default theme.
I'll google safe mode and try that. thank you for your help. I thought someone might recognize this as a setting.

I found the setting that was causing the problem. searching "screensaver" in settings found a selection for screensaver when docked or charging. I changed it to "none".
thanks for your reply!

Yay! Lol, Samsung's are notorious for their hidden settings. Sometimes in plain sight but others required a double tap on unmarked menu items
edit: I'm aware it's an LG. Koreans are sort of krazy in general... look at their graffiti

Blinking red light (diode-like) on POCO X5 PRO

Hi, can anyone advise - how to get rid od this blinking Red light visible in the photo?
It's not related to any notifications and it's herę throughout whole day, both on filmy charged and discharging battery.
This might be proximity sensor - but still - blinking like crazy all the time.
It's POCO X5 PRO with Android 12 / MIUI 14.

}

It stops when locked.
Then, after unlocking, 1/10 times it stops; but 9/10 times it's still there.

Ok, so that's because of the adaptive lightness. When AL turned on, this red light is there and pulsating. No option to minimaze it though?

Even I am having the same issue if u turn off your auto brightness it will off,

Hi,
No, no resolution for this so far. I was advised by support in Poland to submit feedback in Settings -> Service and feedback.
Maybe it would be fixed with update but no response from them after the feedback.
Can you submit one as well? LET'S SHOW THEM WE'RE NOT ALONE!!!

Question always on while charging

The title says it. Is there a way to turn on always on display while charging? All I can find is 10 seconds after tapping, always and scheduled. But I cant really schedule when I am going to be charging it the phone, nor there is no quick way to turn it off and on manually while charging at least. I mean quick setting at least would do even though that would still be a bit of an inconvinience.

Some themes have this option.
Do not ask me their names, I have not used it for 2 years, I must have them on my PC (+ 100).
But with a stock rom you won't be able to import them.

I found it in the history.

The charging animation appears for a few seconds and then displays the AOD.( if the AOD always active option is activated).

there are some apps that do that. One is recommended by xda ( https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-enable-always-on-display-android/ ) but I had issue on my xiaomi 13 with it (I don t remember well : maybe it was hard to unlock my phone), I tried some other apps and they were working better but maybe no so well as I removed them and I just turn my xiaomi 13 face down if I don't want AOD ...
as this feature is present on AOSP roms I am wondering if maybe a magisk module does it ?
