Hi All,
I am running the latest Android 12 OS on my Samsung phone. My goal is to make the screen stay awake any time I have the phone connected to a charger using a USB-C cable. In short, I want to prevent the LOCK screen from activating or the screen from slowly dimming down to black only when the phone is connected to a USB cable for charging.
So I set the "Stay awake" option under the "Developer options" to see if this would keep the screen on any time it is plugged into the USB cable.
After doing this the screen continues to switch to LOCK screen mode or slowly dim down to black even though it is plugged into the USB cable. So what is the correct way to make this work? Do I need to install a third party app to make this behavior happen?
Any tips welcome.

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.
so when ever the tab is fully charged the screen turns on and wont go of until i click the lock button.
i don't have power savings mode. timeout is set to one min. and no auto adjust screen power. 3.2 stock rom
i cant find any settings to adjust this specifically so i don't know what this is. i just don't like the idea of the tab sitting for hours with screen on
EDIT: also noticed that if i put to charge screen wont go of, just fades after the 1 min timeout. i must manually turn it of. i.e push lock button
Hi.
I haven't noticed anything like that when I have been using stock Rom...
If you put tablet to charge did the big-clock screensaver shows up?
If so, you must press back on the bottom tab to let it go away and then it wil fade out and turn off the screen after timeout you have set up in settings...
The only time when screen goes on after charging and stay in that state is when charging with Tablet switched off {big battery charging indicator show up...}...
is it the lock screen your talking about, if so then yes. tab is put to charge and locked. then when full it makes a sound then shows lock screen and fades a bit after some time, but doesn't turn of. screen is of until fully charged. then turns on.
Hmm... this doesn't seems to be normal. On my tab, when fully charged it just make a sound and doesn't unlock or light up the screen...
Which country are you from and what ROM are you using? This might be an unwanted "feature" of branded ROM from some operator/provider...
Maybe if you are planning to Root and give your Tab some nice new ROM from here, your problems will be solved...
im planing on rooting as soon as CM9 is done. im in norway. we dont have operators/providers screwing up our phones like in the states.
Hello,
Whenever I make a call while running the CM7 ROM the screen will turn off and I won't be able to wake it. To get the screen back on I have to wait for the call to end then plug the AC adapter in or do a battery pull. I read that messing with the "Keep screen awake" and "always use proximity" settings worked for some people but it hasn't for me.
Is there something else I should try?
Can you set the screen to always stay on when the device is charging or plugged into a PC?
Just keep looking at it and you're good.
Hey Everyone,
I updated to Pie on my V30 (H932) after the flashable zip was released, and noticed this eco playback when I connect my phone to a USB C display. Oreo didn't have this, and I'm having a hard time finding whether this can be disabled or not. I would LOVE to disable it since it dims my display, and puts up a message about swiping to bring the phone out of eco playback mode. There is an option to tap a floating icon and choose to keep the screen on, but it seems to randomly revert back to dimming the screen when idle (watching a video on the external display). As of me posting this, the icon is actually stuck on (icon is still on my screen after disconnecting the display), and I'm sure it will go away after rebooting my phone, but I'm not wanting to reboot right at this time. Does anyone know if this can be disabled? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Oh, and just another note, the big reason I'm hoping that this can be disabled is that when I'm using the USB C display, I also have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected and in closer reach than my phone is, and when the eco playback message is on the screen, you're not able to click anything until you swipe or click and drag to the side to clear the message.
