hi i have a slightly annoying issue with my x10: it keept turning itself off when the battery is between 15 - 20 % i can turn it back on and it shows that i have battery left bt i check it again maybe an hour later and its turned off again if i keep using it ie play a game or browse the net it gives the n ormal countdown reminders about plugging it in and will go all the way to 1% before turning off so the problem only seems to be when not in use. any ideas?
is the power safe thing set on 15%?
What power safe thing sorry for being dumb

I am actually quite new too
seem like about 2 week only with this phone
But i do know there are something called like "Power safe blablabla" you can set at 5% 10% 15% or so on
This will definately do something when ur battery level reached certain percent
As i know it force close my WiFi adaptor ~.~
But i am not sure if its the problem that you are facing
If ur using a theme .then there might have been error in installation . Try to install the updated version of the same theme. This used to happen to me to but in different way, my phone used to jump 20% battery levels.
If u r not using a theme u can:
Save data and reflash
Or
Just find a good theme of ur liking and install. It should fix ur battery problems

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"

That's not what he's looking for.
The problem is when the screen turns on when you plug it in.

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.
i am about to install BATTERY BOOSTER on my razr maxx.....i dont think my battery is as strong as they say, yes it last longer than most but i dont think its as strong as people make it out to be....any suggestions on this app ??
Haven't heard anything about this app. Juice Defender is usually the one that I hear the most about.
All they can do is turn off different things at different times... like the 3G/3G data. Juice Defender does what it claims, but at a cost. Turning on the screen to use the browser, there's a long pause before the data "wakes up". I deleted the app. I get 2 days of varied use from my Maxx and that's with the screen at full brightness, 4G on, Bluetooth on, and pretty much indiscriminate use of everything wasteful I can find.
I ran it for a while back on my Samsung Galaxy PLAYER 4.0, it was nice to have easy settting to trigger turning wifi, bluetooth and Airplane Mode on and off with locking and unlocking, but on that device I realized it was a complete waste for me because I could leave airplane mode on all the time on it and I only toggle wifi on if I need to use it right then, so really for the razr's its pretty pointless as most of what it does can be done with SMART ACTIONS, but it would give you a battery percentage and battery temp in your notifications if you like that sort of stuff.
If you want to max your battery and push notifications aren't that important to you use these settings in smart actions:
by default I have GPS off completely, on the rare occasion I need it I will turn it on manually.
I use one primary Smart Action and that is a reprogrammed "Battery Extender" with
TRIGGERS:
Screen Off
Charging (not charging)
ACTIONS:
Background Sync (Disable)
Cellular Data (Disable)
basically with these settings when the screen is off its equivalent to a "dumb phone", you can recieve calls and texts but no "push" notifications, this increased the time between charges by atleast 20% for me.
Also as I say in all these threads not forget to regularly (atleast every 2 weeks) power cycle (shutdown then reboot) your phone, I went like the first month of owning without ever shutting it off and when I got in the habit of doing this I noticed atleast a 10% increase in time between charge compared to never shutting off.
Screenshots of my last battery cycle below.

What your screen shot shows is that you basically don't use your phone. I wouldn't be able to even get close to 10% screen time if I tried. Unless I just let the phone sleep all day.
can any of you guide me through these smart actions....because even after the help videos and all, i still dont really understand how the triggers and actions work....i dont think im getting nearly the battery time i should out of this phone.....i have to put it on the charger at least 2 or three times out the day for a little while and by 10-11 oclock its still down to about 30-40 percent....and im hearing people getting almost 2 days on a full battery...not me!! so please help

I never made any claim to be a heavy user, when at work, home and where I go for my lunch break I use my Laptop, as I don't care to stare at a small screen if I don't need to, my phone is for like when i'm at walmart or somewhere and I need to look something up real quick.
But, for the record the smart action settings I listed will drop your overnight battery drain to like 1% every 3 hours or so which is really a huge boost to those that don't live starring at there phone day in / day out, nothing can help those people but rehab and counseling for there addiction issues, LOL (that was a joke don't get pissed off)

OK, as simple as I can make this
1. open Smart Actions app
2. click View samples in lower right hand corner
3. click Battery Extender
4. press and hold on trigger labeled Motion Detector, when menu pops up choose Delete
5. Look for + sign just to right of the word Actions (in the middle of the screen), tap the + sign
6. Scroll to very bottom of list and tap Cellular Data, menu will pop up with 2 choices (enable, disable) tap disable
7. (Optional) press and hold GPS under actions, and when menu comes up hit delete
8. Tap Add Rule on bottom left hand side of screen.
your done and set with my settings, AGAIN with these settings your phone WILL NOT RECIEVE new email or other data related notifications while the screen is off, but it will reduce power drain to aproxx 1% every 3 hours while the screen is off (barring other apps running in the background I can't account for), your could also ADD a time trigger if you only wanted it to do it at night so the junk emails notifications don't wake you up.
Think I have a solution for short battery life for Nook! (Really for any android device)
The problem has been that the Nook Tablet does not go to a Deep sleep (even if they say its fixed its not). Every night I have to charge the Nook battery because it goes from 100% to 90% overnight. If the Nook sits all day with no use the battery will drop to 85%. Almost a 20% decrease in power in one day of no use. By the second day battery is down to 50% and forget it if I use the Nook.
This app seems to solve the problem!
I downloaded a free app (Google App store) called “CPU Tuner (rooted phones)” you need to be rooted but for most of us here this is not an issue.
This app allows you setup CPU speed, WiFi and other settings for different states the Nook may be in.You can setup several triggers but I only used 1. The problem is not just having the Nook go into Deep Sleep but to turn off other functions that hit the battery e.g. WiFi and sync. With this app you are able to tell the Nook to go into Airplane mode as well as turning off all other features that may consume battery life. Below is my setup and findings.
State 1: “On Power (Plugged in)” WiFi on, Sync on, airplane mode off and CPU set to 1020mhz Governor set to interactive
State 2: “On Battery” WiFi on, Sync on, airplane mode off and CPU set to 1020mhz Governor set to interactive (same as above)
State 3: “Screen off” WiFi off, Sync off, airplane mode on and CPU 600mhz Governor set to conservative
State 4: “Screen Lock” WiFi off, Sync off, airplane mode on and CPU 600mhz Governor set to conservative (Same as above)
With these settings (and having 3 nooks with CM10 to test) here are my numbers
test stared around 10pm
Nook 1 started with 76% batt (CPU Tuner not installed)
Nook 2 started with 85% batt (CPU Tuner not installed)
Nook 3 started with 90% batt (CPU Tuner installed)
checked battery life at 8am next morning.
Nook 1 65% batt
Nook 2 75% batt
Nook 3 91% batt (Yes it went up 1%)
Later in the day with no use 8pm still 91%
Loaded CPU Tuner on all three Nooks started test at 10pm. (Day 2)
Nook 1 started at 96%
Nook 2 started at 74%
Nook 3 started at 83%
Checked battery life at 8am next morning.
Nook 1 ended at 96%
Nook 2 ended at 75%
Nook 3 ended at 83%
As you can see this is a big difference then losing 20% power overnight. Since I have Screen Off and Screen Lock as the same trigger I don’t lose power if I am just checking batt level or the time.
This is a MUST HAVE APP. easy to setup and makes a big difference.
You can also setup it up so that if you are on the battery the CPU is at 1008mhz which will save battery life while in use and when plugged in CPU can go to 1020mhz giving you full power.
Sorry for such a long post but I felt it was good info for the users.

Terrific recommendation. Was easy to set up and works like a charm. No more finding my Nook with a flat battery after ignoring it for a couple of days.
Gracias! :good:
Thank you for the tip! I will make a note of it so I can use it if/when I need it! It seems very handy to be able to set upp different user schemes!
However, I do not agree with this comment:

I do know it's a problem in some ROMs, and often a problem along the way during development. I think it's grocely unfair to suggest it's a general problem though.
I'm running a CM10 build from 1231 and I have not problems what-so-ever with battery life! I hardly loose anything while on standby (wifi off). I do turn it off manually, and I understand that with this app I can have it done automatically which is very neat, so might use it because of that. The processor speed adjustments works just fine anyway in the ROM i use.
It's great to know this thing exists and does work if I want to try a "work in progress" ROM more extensively. So once again :good:
The "battery-drain while asleep" problem got fixed since early December (e.g., Succulent's v12/08 build).
Also, I simply turn off WiFi (using a WiFi on/off widget) when I am not accessing Internet, and my NT's battery consumption while asleep has been well below 1% a day (comparable to that of my Google N7).
Finally, for those who are interested in battery consumption management tools, I find Battery Juice Defender (which I use on my Samsung GS-II phone) reasonably effective yet easy to use.
Sorry it was not meant to be a dig or insult!!!
I love ALL of the work that the developers have done and I think I have changed my ROM about a half a dozen times because I can't figure out which one I like best. But compared to my wife's Nook with just the B&N ROM her battery could last days where my battery only lasted 1 day.
Please; I did not mean anything insulting with the comment and the fact that these developers can put together such solid ROMs is saying something about their skills.
How I found this App was from posts here where users were saying that they had to turn off WiFi. Trying to make a WA or KA (WA = Wife Approved and KA = Kid Approved) I know that going in and turning on and off WiFi was never going to happen.
When installed the CPU Tuner and found that it was going to do this automatically and on top of this battery life goes from 1 day to several days I had to make a comment. Only after a few days of my kids using the Nook with the CPU Tuner they made comments about how long the battery lasted. Using these ROMs and CPU Tuner made the Nook 100% WA & KA and now wife is using Nook with the Hashcode ROM and I have heard no complaints. Happy wife, happy life.
Again sorry
Can you post screenshots of your settings from the start, there are some things in your OP that i can't get to setup for testing purposes, indeed the battery of my nook using @succulents ROM 4.1.2 final drains battery considerably while sleeping.

V;
I have uploaded the screen shots. All settings can be changed after loading so if you select the wrong item its not a problem.
I try to keep it simple, You can have more then 1 configuration but as you can see I just use 1. I set my user experience to Normal which can be changed in the settings.
Once you start CPU tuner you will see the current state of the Nook. You can select a different state. (Note the battery was at 52% which has been at 52% for about 2 days and just charged it this morning.)
Next you will see triggers; here you set what Profiles you want for different states of the Nook. Just tap in that section. I forgot to take a screen grab. But I have battery at 100, "On Battery" = Normal, "Screen Locked" = Powersave, "Screen Off" = Powersave and "On Power" = Performance. "Battery Hot" = Powersave and "Call in progress" = Performance. I really only need two profiles Performance and Powersave my Normal has the same settings as Performance and my Screen Off (which I don't use) has the same setting as Powersave.
Next are the profiles. tap the profile you want to edit. See screen shot 7-10 these images have my profile settings. I don't trust airplane mode to really shut off all that I want off so I make sure that things I want disabled are disabled and when I go into Performance I disable airplane mode and enable WiFi (Not sure what Background Sync is or if it even works on the Nook most times I keep it off especially for the "Screen Off" and "Powersave" profiles)
For the governors I leave it as interactive for "Full Speed" and "Normal" settings and conservative for "Save Battery" and Extreme Save Battery these may be the default I am not sure.
If I wanted to really go crazy. I could set my Normal CPU speed to 1008mhz to save battery life while on battery. I could also setup it up that if I have 100% battery use Performance Profile and when the battery level drops to 70% use Normal profile (with CPU at 1008mhz) and when the battery goes to 60% then create a new profile which lowers the CPU speed even more. But with my current setup I am very happy and the fact that after a few days of no use the Nook still has the same power level from when I last had it on.
That's about it. If you have any questions let me know.

Is there any way to delay (eg I want it to wait 5 min before turning the WiFi off)? Or should I use tasker or automateit for something like this?

You can setup a profile where if you press the power button the CPU speed is reduced and turn off all features except WiFi. I believe that after 5 minutes (or what ever time you have set for "Sleep" I believe the default is 2 minutes) the Nook will go to sleep and all features for Sleep will take over e.g. No WiFi.
This will give you two Power options:
1. let the Nook go to sleep on its own after 5 minutes (Screen would be on during this time killing battery life)
2. Press the power button and screen turns off but WiFi is still on and after 5 minutes sleep all features off.
You can monitor what it's doing by pressing the power button and waiting about 6 minutes. Then go to the CPU Tuner log (shift pages to the left until you see the log page) What you would want to see is the following:
11:08am ALL-> Performance
11:07am All-> Powersave
11:01am All -> Screen Off
11:00am ALL-> Performance
Please note that since the time is only shown as hours and minutes it possible to see settings with the same time stamp.
Good Luck.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Fantastic, exactly what I am looking for :good:
I must say that the OP was very good, and CPU Tuner is a great app ....
but times, and apps move on.
currently I use the free "Battery Doctor" from Google Play which does what Tuner can do, but in a much user friendlier way.
my tablet only loses 1 to 2% overnight and still has 80% or so left if not used for a few days.
the developer also has a great file cleaner utility which i also use, and the Task Killer, and memory cleaner widgets you get.
in my opinion they are MUST have's, and I no longer even use the paid version of Juice defender that was my favorite app.

I'm running CM11 Snapshot M3 and haven't been able to find a user friendly way to automatically get wifi off during sleep.
The built-in "turn off wifi during sleep" setting does not seem to be working.
Battery Doctor (Battery Saver) doesn't seem to work well on this ROM. After installing, it would seem to let me change the screen brightness (the slider would move), but then it would revert back to 20%. The app then crashed, and attempting to run it again after rebooting results in a black screen of death.
I've tried a couple other apps like WiFi Auto-Off and Advanced Battery Saver - Free, and neither succeeded in shutting off wifi during sleep.
Granted, I did not try CPU tuner with this ROM. I've tried it in the past and found it very unfriendly.
Anyone have a user friendly method to automatically get wifi off during sleep on CM11?

I just use the available quick toggles in CM11 to manually (1) switch off WiFi and (2) go to sleep.
Yes, there is a quick toggle for go to sleep.
I've pretty much have gave up on ever having great battery life on my Nook. Just the nature of the beast Still a great little tablet
Since all those apps automate disable wi-fi when system sleeps and you won't get any notifications if android apps. try to poll data from internet, I just set wi-fi to automatically turn off in android wi-fi advanced menus, there is no need of any of those apps since android system can do the same thing.
Nookt Tablet goes Nuts less than 50% Battery
Currently running CM 11 snapshot 5
Whenever my nook gets below 50% battery it goes nuts. apps open themselves, then shut down, windows open, if I am watching a video it stops then begins at the beginning. Weird.
Have had this issue before and was hoping with the upgrade it would stop, but no dice.
Help?

I have the same issue with my Nook Tablet. I will get to about 43% and it flips out. Apps opening, settings opening, Apps close, airplane mode comes, etc. I have to plug it back in to undo the mess and continue using it. I've had this issue with AndoidForNook's builds as well as the CM-acclaim 10.2.1 build.

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered else where.
Currently running a Lenovo S20-30 Win 10 dual boot with the latest Beta release. Surprisingly really enjoying it. The only real issue I am having is it waking after it goes to sleep. Mouse and cursor frozen and wont fully wake unless a reboot.
Is anyone else having similar issues and have a possible solution?
Thanks and appreciate the help.

My lenovo T500 reboots when it goes to sleep under Remix. My current "fix" is running a "stay alive" app I purchased for $2 (the free ones had too many ads or not enough functionality) that will dim the screen but not let it sleep if it has wall power or a good charge. I am also surprised how much I am enjoying it; the T500 is a screaming machine with Remix. It was barely adequate for web and RDP under Windows. I am getting incredibly good performance in Netflix, TWC TV app, Chrome, Dolphin and Microsoft RDP under Remix.

My current "fix" is running a "stay alive" app I purchased for $2 (the free ones had too many ads or not enough functionality) that will dim the screen but not let it sleep if it has wall power or a good charge. I am also surprised how much I am enjoying it; the T500 is a screaming machine with Remix. It was barely adequate for web and RDP under Windows. I am getting incredibly good performance in Netflix, TWC TV app, Chrome, Dolphin and Microsoft RDP under Remix.

you have to figure out the rest.
I made sure it worked at least somewhat before contributing to get the additional features. I am really hopeful that a later beta or some other app will give me more control. My notebook has a screen off mode that is better than just dimming but isn't sleep. I wish I could get it to use that. The dimming that the Stay Alive app does was enough that the screen would not keep me up at night but there is enough of a glow to know it is on. But it makes Remix more usable now.
I had this issue too. I noticed if you tap the power button once, the screen comes back on but the mouse won't still work sometimes. If you just tap the power button a 2nd time after the screens on, it would start working again. But I did have trouble w/ wifi coming back on after sleep. I had to toggle it off/on. Let me know if the double tap of the power button fixes it for you too?
BTW, I just added another little app - LockScreen (a free one). That way I can easily lock the screen if I walk away for a few minutes, have it dim but not sleep and reboot.
Tapping the power button again works for me to.
Tap, double tap not working here. Shame. Hopefully a fix soon.

Another update on my sleep issue and workaround...
I don't know how things changed; I may have tripped a setting or something but using the LockScreen app was putting it to sleep and triggering the reboot instead of giving the Stay Alive app a chance to catch it, so I quit using the LockScreen and just let it time out and then the Stay Alive app would dim the screen and keep it from timing out. So no reboot, but unfortunately no lock screen; I wanted it to lock. Poked around some more and found an app listed as Hidden Settings for Galaxy but it isn't really Galaxy specific. One of the the things it does is let you set up and enable Daydream mode. It turns out Daydream doesn't work properly on Remix, but it fails in a good way. If you select the clock (or anything else, but stay away from full screen stuff as sometimes that will stay in the way for several seconds) and set it for both docked and charging, then when the screen timeout is reached the clock will show for a couple of seconds and then it will go to the lock screen (assuming you enabled, I guess), not go to sleep and Stay Alive dims the screen. Clunky and convoluted, but it ends up doing exactly what I wanted.
ETA - One other little nit - After it dims on the lock screen, focus is set to the text box and you just have to start typing the password to get the screen to brighten and unlock. Clicking does not cause the screen to brighten, which worried me at first (thought it was hung).

Thanks, Stay Alive works. Be interesting to see what it does to battery life. Hopefully a fix will come.

Just be careful poking around at settings; I did something to make mine have issues with being locked after I had it working. More tweaks got it okay(ish) again. This is not a good solution for battery use; I don't think there really is one if standby doesn't work. Android/Remix doesn't seem to offer levels of powering off. What I would like to do is power off the screen, spin down the disk but leave the processor and wifi powered.

Yep going back to sleep again and not waking up properly with SA. Think will give up until a fix.

Mine is only doing that now on battery and it is usually on wall power. As I use it on battery so rarely, the simple answer is to just set the screen timeout higher when I do. On an older notebook like mine, a battery gives you freedom to move around the house/office with the machine running and maybe run without plugging in for two or three hours. It's my semi-lightweight UPS.
Anyway, I am not giving up. This is the only thing not working perfectly for me. My camera, mic, bluetooth, mouse and wifi all work fine. I stream videos in Youtube, Netflix, TWC TV, Amazon, FB and browsers with good sound and picture; no lag. I connect to work with Microsoft RDP and have less lag than using RDP in Windows. Yesterday I booted over to Windows to increase the size of my data.img (and had no trouble with that) and that definitely hardened my resolve. It is hard to believe I was putting up with that kind of speed just a few days ago. Now that I know I don't have to it seems worse.
After more research, I am back again with what I think is the final answer. I should and likely will write an app to undo this if my battery gets really low, but all you have to do if you never want your machine to go into sleep mode is press Alt-F1 to get the console and then do something like this:
# echo nosleeptilbrooklyn >/sys/power/wake_lock
And then Alt-F7 to get back. I did that as a test, unplugged from the charger and let it sit about 10 minutes with display timeout at 5 minutes. 5 minutes in the screen went dark. That used to be followed by a reboot about 5 seconds later. It did not reboot. When I woke it, it did initially show the main screen and then blanked it and brought up the password screen. For some reason I had to click before I could type (usually don't have to). Anyway, the above "fix" worked. To undo it, I need to just do this:
# echo nosleeptilbrooklyn >/sys/power/wake_unlock
There is a programmatic interface to do pretty much the same thing but with more options and I am thinking I may write something to use that to set the lock and then check the battery on a timer and unlock if it falls below 20% or some other setting.
EDIT TO ADD - A little more poking around yielded info that pretty much all manufacturers have had battery protection for several years now and will not let the battery run down into the kill zone even if the OS is frozen or even if it actively tries to stay alive. I would still advice checking your BIOS and/or doing some research on your particular system but it is likely safe to just leave it locked if you only want it shut down, hibernate or go into standby when you specifically choose that interactively.
