How do I allow the screen to remain on during a charge?
I use my phone for music in my car, but find it irratating when I have to constantly turn the screen on and enter my unlock pattern.
On other android devices there is the option to Leave the screen on during charging under Applications > Development.
Any Ideas on the Galaxy S2?
Kind Regards

I'm pretty sure they took this out because you'd get burn-in with SAMOLED screens...
Even if you do figure out a way of how to do this I would advise you not to. The screen can get pretty bad "burn in" pretty quickly, as I had found out with my old galaxy s.
I'm having the opposite problem the screen will remain on while charging. Cannot find a setting , four example woke this morning and left the phone in the charger returned a hour latter and the screen was still on, dimmed down but still ON.
is there a way to fix this, I'm worried about burning the screen early
This is a standard android feature that was originally found in the SGS but removed in the froyo firmware upgrade, there was no reason given but it was speculated this was to minimise screen burn.
There are a number of widgets on the android market that does the same, Widgetroid is one from the top of my head but even that's a bit of an overkill. Just install to restore the functionality.
I have a slight issue. My wife's evo 3d screen is no longer coming on. Her phone is HTC Dev Unlocked. Battery is charged, and it doesn't matter if I try to get into bootloader, recovery, or just try to power the phone on. The capacitive buttons light up like they should, but the screen on the phone does not come on. I'm guessing that the light fr the screen went out.
So, here's the problem. Can I return he phone under warranty with it being unlocked? I know unlocking would normally void the warranty, but because the screen does not work, would they be able to tell that it is unlocked?
Other than that, I think my only option is to "drop" it in the toilet and use the insurance. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.
Jesus, it's hard to believe that there have been 80+ views and not a single suggestion
On my S6 edge I have on occasion seen that the black sleep screen suddenly showed the clock in big numbers (not the edge clock), and the faded away.
I know that I can get to see the edge screen by swiping up and down. But for the life of me do not know how to get the clock to appear on the sleep screen.
I have tried the home button, volume buttons, power button but all of this basically just turns the screen on.
Any suggestions?
in edge setting.

Thx Alex, but that is the setting for when you switch on the S6, and the you can see the clock on the lock screen.
I have found an image on google for what I am looking for , seen encl image. But then without using th the trasparent case.

That screen should only be possible with the Clear View case on. Are you using any type of case with your S6?
There are magnets inside the Clear View case which the phone uses to detect when the cover is closed to display that screen.
There might be a bug with your phone if that is happening.
Do you have any strong magnets around your phone, like a speaker or anything, that might be setting it off? But even so, that still shouldn't happen since Clear View cases also have an NFC chip to enable that functionality to ensure that just normal magnets won't set it off (and to prevent fake cases and counterfeits).
Are you rooted and have some tweak installed that you forgot about perhaps?
That's the strange thing. It did show and I do not have any case for the S6.
No it was not close to a magnet.
It is not rooted.
Thx for the reply

That's very strange. Are you able to take a quick picture of it when it happens, I know that'll be hard to do.
Are you sure it is the exact same screen as the Clear View Case screen? Maybe it's something that looks similar, for example if you have a dark lockscreen.
Do you have Air Gesture Wakeup turned on (where you wave your hand over the screen and it turns on)? On the S4 you could make a similar screen turn on by using Air Gesture but on the S6 it takes you straight to the lockscreen. Maybe it's that in combination with something else?
I've been trying myself to get that screen to come on but without seeing what the actual screen looks like I'm out of ideas.

Thx for trying. Taking a screen shot would be difficult as it comes on only for a few seconds. Haven't seen it for the last few days strangely enough.
I got the same thing yesterday, it even had the edge tabs lit up from messages I had waiting. No case, but my phone was close up my laptop when I saw it, maybe a magnetic field thing??
That happens when you have a message or email or missed call from one of your 5 edge contacts. The pull out side menu also bulges out with the color of the contact. Very cool feature!
Thx that must be it. SOLVED

I just realized that yesterday, but I noticed that it only works when the phone is laying down and your really need to pick it up quickly, if I slowly/gently pick up the phone, that feature doesn't activate. I also noticed that it likes to shut off fast, even interacting with the bubble, you gotta open up the app quickly as the screen doesn't give you time to actually read what's on it.
If Samsung tweaks that a bit to active more easily and keep the screen on a few seconds longer, it'll be a nice feature.
The occasional clock still happens on my phone
I just bought a Galaxy S6 edge+ two weeks ago... and the case I ordered for it should be here tomorrow.
The face, not the edge, of the clock lighting up when I pick it up has been happening randomly since I bought it. It is usually accompanied with the phone vibrating too. So it has nothing to do with the case (which I don't have one yet), or where the phone has been sitting.
I honestly thought this was a feature, and have spent at least 10 hours trying to track this feature down. Only to learn that the online manual is already outdated for my phone. I'm not sure what came pre-loaded, but the first thing it did was a complete upgrade to Android 5.1.1. ...and that took place via Wifi, even before I was able to activate the phone.
Granted, the phone works great! I seriously love it! But, completely randomly, as far as I've been able to tell, it shows the clock on main screen when the rest of the phone is asleep, when I pick it up. Meanwhile, the edge clock works great whenever I want it. But when pulling the phone out of my pocket, I would like to see the "big clock" on the main screen without having to hit a button or swipe the screen. But correct me if I am wrong. It would seem that the only "official" way for this to happen is to buy a certain type of case for it?
My mom has a Droid Turbo. And other than the insane battery life (48 hours talk time), the other feature I really like about it is that you can just wave you hand anywhere near the screen and the clock turns on. I was hoping that this was some sort of feature of the S6 edge+ too. But I guess I am wrong about this.
Any thoughts as to why the clock sometimes comes on, but most of the time doesn't, when I pick it up?

My observation is that this happens whenever theres a notification waiting, if the phone gets picked up with a pending notification it vibrates and shows the clock with the edge tabs visible too. Has anyone found a way to turn this on at will?
hi i like this phone but without double take to wake i wont buy it.
it doesnt have the 4g b20 800mhz. i could live with that.. but i really cant live without double tap to wake i have a lg g3. and every chinees phone i buy has it. so for me it's a standard
Your can wakeup by fingerprint sensor. It was the best.
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
U can also use the proximity sensor, it's faster than fingerprint and dt2w and eats nearly zero battery.
i was tempted to port it but after getting used to the fingerprint i guess its not really necessary
hum. my phone is always laying on the table next to my pc. so it's pretty annoying to have to lift up the phone to see if i have notifications. (i mean to read them)
i have LG phone and i can't live without double tap to wake. i mso used to the back buttons so a finger print scanner on the back is nice but no dt2w is stupid i mean i dont always have my phone in my hand. so if i want to wake it up i just double tap, but without that i need to lift up the phone or press the side power button dont know it seems pretty annoying for me.
i had a doogee f5 great phone but i use more double tap to wake then a finger print scanner i mostly turned it off cause i hate passwords only use it when im not at home. but soo yeah without double tape to wake this xiaomi is a no for me every 'f:iking chinees phone has double tap to wake even 50$ ones
why can't a 160euro xiaomi have it ilove xiaomi it's quality but yeah no 800mhz 4g and no double tap. if it had double tap to wake i could consider buying it.
so no rom has it implanted? or some one made it?
Seriously! I have redmi note 3 and i miss this feature a lot, even just to read notifications i need to hold up the phone and press power button or fingerprint scanner. Now many would argue and say there are apps like active display/gravity screen/proximity sensors but they all consume some amount of battery. Also these apps would be user apps, not system ones and so would be killed by miui Aggressive battery saver mode.

Finally some one who understands.
Yes there are apps but all use proximity or something.
I just love double tap is so easy.
And my lg g3 is getting old and the g4 is a bit expensive and not much of a ungrade so im looking for a new phone but thats almost impossible to find someone better then my lg g3 for a good price

I had posted this in miui forums, but got the same vague response. Even though mi4 and others had this feature, it's missing on note3. Everyone considers it redundant due to the fingerprint sensor at the back but to me it removing dt2w would have only made sense if the fingerprint sensor was on front. From the looks of it, guess xiaomi won't be adding this feature back anytime soon. Till then we could just hope that someone somewhere ports it rn3.

Yup tell then i wont buy it... I mean it's a steal for its price but damn. It's a simple feature that every phone out of China has.... Damit.
And wierd the mi4 has it. (saw the miui forum reeded every page) snif guess the remdi note won't be my next phone or will it? hahaa
damit i love the battery life. and the 'openess' of xiaomi/miui with sources aviable etc. i think it will get some custom roms. even if miui is already great.
i can get used to no double tap but i will miss it... and still hope some one ou xiaomi will implant it.. the 4g b20 pff not sure if i really do care that much.
but can some one tell me how dark the lowest brightness is? is it lower then a lg g3? or is it lower then a oneplusone (lg g3 is pretty bright a 0% that's not always fun, oneplusone was great at 0% very dark)
I used fingerprint sensor to wakeup by second finger. I found it was excellent.

We just need a kernel support for it if the dispaly pannel supports that gesture!

just needs time.
there are more and more roms every day.
some one started on a kernel. (or something with kernel)
it will come.
i ordered the phone (again lol i bought it first a 163.50 euro and now its 155.96euro at a other seller) i tried to get my seller to drop the price or give me a flip cover. but he wouldnt. so i canceled. now just wait for it to ship finaly a fast phone again. after 6 months a oneplusone then exchanging that for a lg g3 2gb was a good deal but the lg is getter slower and slower i mean the apps are getting heavier and heavier i use greenify and **** for the facebook app. but messenger whatsapp snapchat arent greenified cause i need notifications lol
if i let that apps sleeps i will get a fast phone i think. love the lg g3 it's one year. but i want better battery life faster phone and no bull**** 2k screen to get less battery life

In twrp recovery the screen wakes up by just tapping on screen in redmi note 3. I am using twrp cofface. That means the display can support double tap to wake up.
Hoping some developer start working on it soon.

You are mistaken. Check again your screen before "tapping to wake". You will see that screen is still powered up, it just has backlight dimmed to very low value.

Short answer that it's likely not.
If you'll look at in which models Xiaomi is used to implement this feature you'll notice it only appears for the (premium?) MI lineup models.
Redmi phones hasn't ever had this feature in Xiaomi OEM ROMs/kernels despite hardware support. So, it is unlikely that it will ever come to RMN3 Pro in OEM ROM.
However, should someone have implemented it in a custom kernel, it is rather simple task to make it available in the Settings app through a patch.

we will see. not in a hury.
don't have the phone yet.
it's on it's way. will get used to no double tap to wake it will obligat me to use the fingerprint scanner always i hate passwords but what ever.
but it's stupid cause every cheap mediatek phone has double tap to wake and xiaomi nope, just a big middel finger but anyway it's a great phone for it's price (i hope)
Coming from the LG G2 I too miss this feature a lot!
Hate to pick the Note up to unlock it if its lying flat on the table....such a simple and essential feature

Use Gravity Screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
Then just swipe over the proximity sensor and the screen turns on, no battery drain and you can disable/enable it with one tap in the status bar
S9+ took a tumble, glass is cracked, screen turns on sometimes, when it does the right 1/4 of the screen is green lines, touch doesn't work but power button does. and I assume volume buttons. I have a gesture lock which is required after restart, and biometrics. Is there any way to use Samsung Smart Switch to the insurance replacement device I received? Thought maybe I could use a bluetooth mouse using the USAB-A to C adapter, but it doesn't seem to be working either. When plugged into my laptop, the laptop reads it but cannot access any files (I assume because if unlocked, the phone would ask if I want to allow access to files, which I cannot do of course). Am I screwed or is there some fairly inexpensive way to get my new phone as close to the old one as possible? Thank you!
