I enable the "stay awake" option under development in the phone settings but several times I've plugged in my USB only to have the screen turn off. I go into settings and see it is not enabled. Something is resetting this on reboot. Anyone else observe this?

Yes, there seems to be some sort of bug with the kickstand. Whether or not Kickstand enable is set, closing the kickstand causes stay awake to turn off.

Yep, that is what is causing it. I just verified my phone had stay awake selected then I opened and closed the kickstand and the stay awake option was no longer selected. I would think that would be an easy fix for a custom ROM or official MR. Thanks.

that is great and all that you found what triggers the problem but have you submitted a bug report to motorola so they know what to look for so they can provide a fix for the maintenance release. Time is ticking and the more fixes they can get into the maintenance release the better.

Very true. I'll look for the website to do that now.
Edit: I just checked the Moto forums and this has already been reported and a Moto rep on the forum reported it has been logged as a bug. Evidently, this is what is supposed to happen for some reason. If you have stay awake disabled and open the kickstand, stay awake is enabled (understood if being used as a bedside clock). When you close the kickstand, stay awake is always disabled even if it was enabled to start with. Evidently this happens even if you have the kickstand feature disabled in the settings.
I haven't been able to come up with a way to set my screen to full brightness while charging, and haven't found a solution with a search. I want it up as bright as it will go when the phone is in my car mount and plugged in, and I normally keep the brightness below 50% to save battery. It's a pain to switch the display setting each time I get in and out of the truck. I have Tasker, but I haven't been able to come with a way to do what I want with it yet, unless I'm missing something. Ideally, I'd have it automatically go to 100% with no timeout or dim when I plugged the phone in. Any suggestions?
I suggest getting a new phone.

Just swipe the notification bar at the top of the screen left and right to change the brightness, no need to go to display settings.
I am on Fenny's ics rom and in developer settings it has stay awake while charging but it was in Tasks rom also I just can't remember where.
Edit...I just searched play store market for screen control and seen a paid app called screebl it has settings for brightness in portrait and landscape (slider controls) and also a box to tick to disable while docked. I am thinking you could set it up with those options.

You see, now THAT is a useful bit of advice; I didn't know about using that gesture. Thanks for that, I know I'll get a lot of use out of that info now, no more trying to navigate to settings when I walk out into the sun. However, I would like to find a way for the screen to go to full brightness when I plug it in.

I'm on Tasks ROM; the stay awake setting I can do, but if I'm not mistaken it will still dim the screen after a bit, won't it?
Yea just hold you're finger on the furthest right of the notification bar after you plug it in. only takes a second.

Nice find thanks for sharing.
That app works perfectly. Thanks OP for starting this thread. I have always manually adjusted, so it's nice to skip the steps....and thanks to adfurgerson for the link!!
And fyi, I don't know if it's my phone, but no matter how I swipe the notification bar to adjust brightness, it never goes to 100% brightness. I always check in settings afterwards, and it's at about 95%. Maybe I've been doing it wrong, but with the above mentioned app, I no longer need to wonder.

Is your auto-brightness turned on?
I'd be a lot happier with auto-brightness if I had more control over it, like if I could set the baseline for it to adjust from, and maybe change the adjustment frequency.

I never use auto...what I'm referring to is the phone's overheating protection. My phone is charging right now and it feels warm around the edge and just under the back camera lens. I'm sitting pretty close to a warm fireplace. I'm sure if I were outside (45F) the screen wouldn't be dimming.

Every time I plug my phone in via USB or place on an inductive charger, the screen turns on. I never want this to happen. Is there any setting or hack to disable? I blame OCD for not wanting to wait for the screen timeout. I tried using Tasker to set the display timeout to the minimum value of 7s only when on any power source, but it still timed out at the system setting. I have a rooted Droid 4 with the stock ROM, but this applies to any Android phone.
This doesn't seem unreasonable. If you set your phone down to charge, doesn't that mean you're done using it for now? This is difficult to search for, because the same search terms lead me to the "stay awake while charging" threads.

I'd like to know if there's a solution to this too. I find now that the only time I ever end up pocket dialing is when I take my phone off my charger, THINK i've pressed the power button to go back to sleep but didn't and thus pocket hilarity ensues
I know what u mean but there is defnetly a function where it may be disabled
ive seen it i may guarantee this
the bad thing is i forgot where...
i searched through my stock rom and found nothing so i guess ive seen this in a cyanogenmod rom :/
have a try
Its funny, because I'm trying to do the opposite. I installed my android tablet [novo 7 elf] into my car, and I used to be on a ROM whereby whenever I turn the engine on it would charge the tablet and therefore the screen would turn on. However now I've got a jellybean port this functionality does not work because of the sleep timer which has a max of 30 mins.
Any ideas on how to disable this functionality?

If you're screen always stays on while charging, then try this:
- goto SETTINGS- Developer options - uncheck "stay awake while charging"

Indeed.
Am looking for the same thing. really hate the fact that when it goes in the charger I continuously have to turn off the device.... not cool.
Hopefully someone comes with a solution.
only thing for now is use Locale and a plugin screen off (.99 cents) which will probably turn off the screen if you plug it in. haven't tried it though.
Maybe the "charging now" notification is what wakes the phone up when it begins charging, and maybe that notification can be removed somehow, but I know nothing of how those are set up in the background.

FYI, I tried this again since upgrading to ICS on my Droid 4, and it totally works. I just set up a Tasker profile: When Power=AC or USB, Display Timeout = 7s. It shuts off in 7s when on my inductive charging pad, and the system setting of 1 minute when off the pad.

Sadly, it's two dollars, but this seems to be what you're looking for.
Option 1:
Install Xposed or other, I don't remember clearly...
Option 2:
With Tasker
-Power: Any AC
-System Lock
why it isn't possible to disable it without xposed?
know this is an old thread but just curious if there is a way to not have the display turn on when it reaches 100% while charging?

Old thread again but in Nougat, it's Settings/Display/Wake on plug, Disable.
Well now this thread is even older :*)
There is a app named "All My..." it contains no wake on charge. It should be a former xposed app that work on most phones so feel free to try.

2022 and it's ongoing. Who would want the screen to turn on when plugged in. On an LG phone you even get an annoying buzz which cannot be disabled even if in silent mode.
Hi all,
When I charge my HP TP running CM9 nightly, a clock screen is displayed automatically. I note that after my screen time out period of five minutes, the screen does power off, however when I wake up in the morning the screen is on displaying the clock screen - I guess email or some other notifications turn the screen back on.
Basically, can I change the behaviour so that when I put the TP onto the Touchstone, nothing special happens and this clock isn't displayed? I have an app that switches the screen off when the case is closed, and essentially this charging behaviour is interfering with this. I don't want the TP clock blazing away lighting the screen up all night.
Thanks,
Andy
Wow some refuse to do any work on their own....
If you want to shut the screen down all you have to do is hit the power button and the screen shuts down
As far as the Desk Clock app... You simply go into app manager and clear the defaults for it

I'm puzzled by your sarcasm - no, I can't figure this out by myself as I can't identify the configurable part of android that triggers this clock front end. I had Googled it but I can't find a suitable answer there either. Whilst I can shut the screen off with the power button, as per my original post when I wake up in the morning the screen has come back on.
Cheers!

Then you have something installed waking your TP that we have no way of troubleshooting without some type of log.... when you shut the screen down there is no reason for Android to turn it back on unless YOU have EXPLICITLY given an app YOU installed permission to do so. As far as the clock... when you set the TP on the Touchstone one of two things happens... a dialog box comes up with the apps that can by default be activated when placed on Touchstone OR YOU HAVE designated a default app to do this....
Now if YOU can't remember which app YOU ALLOWED to run then you have one of two choices.... go through all the apps in app manager clearing all defaults OR wipe all data and start from scratch and pay attention to what you press this time

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately you are wrong.
I only have the clock app installed that triggers when the device docks - no other apps respond to this event, therefore when I dock the device I don't get presented with the option/choice, it just displays the clock as there is no alternative. I've found the best solution to be to install 'Screen Off ' from the market. This has an option to act on the dock event, and now when I put the device on the dock I get given the choice as to whether to show the clock or to power off the screen. This works pretty much perfectly, and without the clock showing the screen stays off, instead of coming back on randomly after I shut it off - therefore, I don't think that the clock was coming back on before due to notifications from apps/emails, but be cause the clock app itself was triggering - possibly when the device reaches full charge or something and temporarily disconnects from the dock or something, I don't know. In summary, you need more than one app installed that is coded to respond to the dock event, otherwise when you dock the device android just defaults to the dock event and powers the screen back on periodically. I have never explicitly enabled this behaviour, and without installing another app it seemingly cannot be changed or disabled.
I thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, but I think you should learn something from this thread - just because a problem may seem to be user error doesn't necessarily mean that it is - your post is completely wrong which is fine as I appreciate that you are just trying to help, but by getting all aggressive over it you've just ended up looking a little stupid. The forums should be all about helping people, not ridiculing them - hopefully this post will serve to help anyone out with a similar predicament.
Cheers.
Ignore cdzo72 - he's one of the most sarcastic members of this forum. He seems to have a hate on for anyone who has an issue with anything, and can't solve it for themselves. You get used to him, and ignoring him.

The clock app doesn't trigger itself. Mine charges all night and never turns back on. That said, it is almost impossible to move the pad while it's on the TS without charge disconnecting and reconnecting. And that will trigger the clock app. So, if you have the TS on an unstable surface that allows ir to be inadvertently "jiggled", that could cause the clock to turn back on.

Hey Man,
I don't know if it affects other devices to be honest. On my phone the clock app is configurable, but on my Cyanogenmod9 HP TP tablet it isn't something that you can change the behaviour of (if you tap the stock 'Clock' app it just locks the screen and displays a clock, you cant set any options like on my SGSII). I don't know if this is a feature of tablet OS'es in general, or just the CM iteration of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Either way, the 'Screen Off' app references working with a number of docks (blurb specifically references Sony ones) so I'd give it a shot and hopefully it will work for you.
I had that problem too, it was very annoying. I installed dock no op from the market and it finally stopped waking me up. That seems like the only option since cm9 doesn't let you set the dock behavior.
When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh
