I got my tablet connected to huge 34" screen, and bluetooth keyboard and mouse. To save battery I try to turn off the tablet screen. But everytime I click a text input box, the tablet turns on again. It doesnt even show a keyboard, just a blurred out home screen.
Is there anyway to force the screen to stay off? I dont need the screen to turn on for typing, since I got Logitech keyboard connected to it.

It seems that a new landscape mode app was included in the new update. Is there a chance I could get that apk ripped?

Is there no way to get it?
This drives me absoulty bonkers, that the phone doesn't turn landscape. I can understand they don't want to program the widgets to do that. But all I want is one screen while I'm at work that will turn landscape that will give me some basic info. Mainly email and a couple of widgets. This is my biggest frustation with this phone.
I would like to get this apk too. I have a stock rom, first OTA update and nothing for landscape mode installed. I had my phone in some weird mode after plugging in a car charger. The car dock app came up and when I hit the home button, I got the home screen. Turned the phone landscape and the home screen turn landscape. Every screen was able to turn to landscape now but when I made a call, the speaker phone enabled automatically. My phone was this way even after killing the car dock app. I thought there was some update to allow landscape but after pulling the battery, no more auto speaker phone (what I wanted) but the landscape mode was gone too. Has anyone else seen this?
I'm looking for a possible app that can automatically lock the phone regardless of what it is doing. I use the MHL to HDMI cable to output to my tv when I'm in bed and I like to watch shows to put me to sleep.
The thing is when the cable is plugged in, the phone's screen never turns off because it would turn off the tv display as well. The display just goes dim when it's idle. I can manually lock it and it will shut off, but I would like something that can send a lock command or a power off command after a certain amount of time, sorta like a sleep mode.
I don't like having my phone screen's stay on until morning even though it's staying fully charged. It's usually pretty warm when I wake up. Is there any way this can be done?
Maybe it could be done with tasker? https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=search_result
I gave it a try and it seems like a really nice app, but I couldn't find a way to command it to lock or turn off the phone. There were 2 options I saw called "lock" and "system lock" and I tried both but nothing happened when the specified event occurred.
I'm tempted to try the HDMI on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, but I'm thinking it would remain on as well if plugged in. Thanks for the suggestion though.
is this possible? and if so, how? i've tried a few apps from the market, but they didn't seem to work
Why? Do you hate your phone so much, you need a quick way to burn in the screen?
Actually, while it's in my car dock and I'm using google maps, or any music, it's hard to see the screen after it dims, esp. when driving with my convertible top down in the daytime.

Have you tried STAYAWAKE? Keeps screen on while plugged in to any source that charges.
the screen stays on already... but it still dims until i touch the screen again.
Use Tasker - it's more complicated than most apps, but it gives you tons more control over your phone too.
Just remember to both turn off auto-dim as well as turn your brightness up for the "plugged in" event or it won't work properly if you use tasker!
I have a setting for plugged and unplugged, as well as at home (in range of my wireless SSID) and away. So my GPS turns on when plugged in and away, but not plugged in at home. But my display is set up the way you want as well - and mine increases the display timeout too.

The issue is pretty simple, if I pull my Evo 3D from the dock sometimes it goes to the buttons lit and a black screen...will stay that way until I pull the battery. It never seems to happen if I close out dock mode before pulling it from the dock...only the desktop dock too btw, it's a Seidio. Phone is completely stock and updated. Thoughts?
While on the dock the buttons are always lit (if kept in dock mode)...that supposed to be?
Also should note, sometimes when it doesn't crash doing this, the middle portion of the touchscreen will not respond to certain things until I reboot, obviously clicking reboot works, but it's very odd, Swiftkey doesn't allow me to type on the virtual KB towards the center, etc.
Hi all,
Not sure what I might have done to mess this up but for some reason my HD dock can't detect the proper resolution for my monitor (I have the monitor connected via a DVI to HDMI adapter). It used to work but for some reason has stopped functioning. Now the usual Motorola screen saver (red circle popping around) is distorted and only shows up on 3/4 of the screen. If I try to activate webtop, it goes through the usual loading but the monitor goes black and webtop appears to have loaded (Usual webtop splash screen on the phone appears) but I can't see anything on the screen.
The odd thing is if I take the dock and plug it directly into my TV (no adapter) everything runs fine. So it leads me to think its an issue about the auto detect...
Is there any way to reset this or manually change the resolution to fix this?
