too bad you have to go back in and change it back when your done recharging or the screen is on all the time no?

It stays awake only while plugged in.

I use my phone to set my alarm for work and it stays on the charger at night while I am asleep.
However the alarm will not go off in the morning (it is set to go off even in Silent mode) and I was wondering if it was because the device was going to sleep at night.
I hope this resolves it for me.

Before setting the EVO to the stay awake setting above, I noticed that if the phone was in desk clock mode (accessed by clicking on the Sense clock), it would stay awake (noticed this while fiddling this morning).

Can you charge with phone turned off?

Hi,
As everyone will probably know, the x10 automatically turns on when you put the phone on charge.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to turn the phone off permanently e.g. so it only turns on when manually turned on.
I find that when my phone fully charges at night and is left with charger connected, the battery drains really quickly and when it gets to about 90% it starts charging again, this really bugs me. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to turn this auto feature off, so I can just turn my phone on in the morning and have it fully charged.

Have you tried turning the phone off after you plug it in...? I haven't so I can't say whether it works or not, but it isn't a problem for me either...
BTW, the drain to 90% is a feature to stop the phone from overcharging and destroying the battery...

At the moment you can not charge your phone while it is off. Regarding the post above, it might not be implemented in the future either since you will have a risk of crushing your battery.
What you could try turn off all what you can (wifi, bluetooth, 3G and applications), this should make the battery drain less.
I haven't tried this myself, but you could also try restarting it before charging. The idea is to leave it charging while the pin code still is asked. This should keep wifi and the other basic functions like 3G disabled. This should decrease the drain usage.
You could also change the profile into flight mode, this should have the same effect unless some applications are prevented from starting up without your pin inserted.
Turning off the phone while it is being charged will just turn it on again.

I think the drain to 90% will be exactly the same even if you do turn things off... the way I have my phone set up, it actually drains slower once unplugged... In short, I think you're stuck with it...

Download an app called hibernate. PM me if you cant find it but search google, it is there. One touch of its short-cut of widget and you can then tell all radios off and make the screen turn off quicker. Everynight when I go to bed I put the phone in hibernate and plug charger in. When I wake up I have 97% battery, sometimes more.

Do you have a battery widget installed because I read on one of the forums that this stops it charging, so once I removed mine the phone would charge to 100%.

Android Stay Awake feature still turns off screen

Hello as the title says I have the Stay Awake feature turned on, so when plugged in the screen is not suppose to go off, well it still goes off. If I set the screen timeout time to any longer it will do that even when I am not plugged in.
Anyone know how I can really keep it to Stay Awake?
Thanks,

I am kind of in the same boat, I have read that there are apps in the market to enable this setting. Maybe one of them will work for you. One such app is screeble, another is Stay Awake.

After charging full, dies out.

So it happened again. Fully charge the TF for a trip. When I get to my distination (8hrs later) turn on the TF and its dead. No power and no chargers. This thing is pissing me off!
Anyone know why or how I can fix? I do have the wifi off when screen is off.

How is that possible?
Did you not shut down your TF?

It looks like you are having the reboot during deep sleep issue that started with the upgrade to ICS. The reboots can be stuck with the screen enabled and the processor actively trying to complete the boot, which drains your battery.
Short term, I would avoid leaving the TF powered up unattended for long periods.
That will prevent the total battery drain. For a longer term work around, you can try an app called Wake Lock, which you can set to prevent the TF from going into deep sleep, and eliminate the deep sleep reboots, which has helped some users, including me.
The app should be set to restart on Reboot, and select the Partial Lock, then select the Acquire Lock setting, on the red bar, which will switch to green, and indicate that it has acquired. You can also set it to show its icon in the Notification are, so that you have a visual assurance that it is working. Then just exit the app, and it will work in the background.
You can monitor that it is preventing Deep Sleep, using the CPUspy app.
I would then watch carefully to see that you aren't experiencing any more reboots during Deep Sleep.
Long term, ASUS is researching instability with ICS, and we hope to get a true fix. Until then, use of Wake Lock may help you.
Others may have other opinions and explanations, and they may be right, but this has cured my problem for the last 11days. Good luck.

No shut down. I would charge the TF to 100%. turn the screen on to see if its 100% charged and that's it. Then 8hrs or so later when I want to go use the TF, its dead. Can't even turn on.
Can this be the reboot issue or an application that is running and not letting my TF go to deep sleep? Help!

Your response makes no sense. You say TF was shut down then you say TF might not be going into deep sleep. If you power the TF down it will go off and use NO battery. you will get some battery internal discharge but TF will not come on an use battery. Try the same test shutting it off.

Ok...try again. I would charge the TF. Then check by pressing the power button. The screen goes on and shows 100%. Then press the power button to turn the screen off ( not turning it completely off).
When I want to use the TF, it won't turn on, as if its completely dead.
Suggestion?

its either a) you get a RR and get stuck in a bootloop, b) you got some app running that drains the battery, such as Winamp or c) your device is broken (not likely).

Screen stays on after battery gets fully charged

Got a weird problem with my AT&T stock non-rooted S4. About 4 or 5 times since I got it on release day when I charge my phone and I get the notification that it's fully charged the screen won't turn back off. I use a Belkin Conserve socket that is set to shut off after 3 hours and I've woken up after charging to find the phone dead. I've managed to catch this happen once and when the fully charged notification comes on the screen won't go to sleep, it just stays on and flickers a little bit. For all but one of these instances I had blocking mode on so I'm not disturbed by email or text notifications in the middle of the night. It did happen one time when I didn't have blocking mode on. I use a pin lock for my lockscreen and usually have BeyondPod playing overnight (only one hour long podcast while it's still charging) if that makes a difference. Is the function that enables the screen to stay on when you're looking at it malfunctioning? Any help? I've attached two screenshots of battery life when this happens.

So in settings under the Developer Options, there is a setting "Stay awake" if checked screen will never sleep while charging. Now I see that your Belkin shuts off the power but your phones still detects the usb plugged into a power source.
I think things happen in this order: you hookup your phone to charge and shut off your screen, phone charges to 100% and screen lights up saying fully charged, it stays on because of that setting, Belkin kills the power, it is still hooked up to USB so ... you get the rest.
I would find that setting and disable it.
if your next question is "I don't see developers option" it is hidden by default in android 4.2.2 so to make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap tap tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options. Or Indiana Jones might pop up and give you the cup to get eternal life !!!

Thanks for the reply Commodore64 but I already checked that setting when it happened the first time and it's not checked.

No one else has had this problem?

I have this problem as well as my wife's S4. around 3am, I notice our room is bright with our two phones' screens on. It will stay on until the morning.
In the developer's section of the settings, the stay on when plugged in is NOT checked.
Also, on our phones, we notice the phones overheating because the screen is on for hours at a time at night.
I've just spent an hour looking through the internet, and while many report this, they are simply being dismissed by others as in having "checked" the setting in developer section.
Also, when the batttery does get fully charged, the "Battery if full, unplug the power" notification also rings the default notification ringtone. I've installed phoneweaver to set my phone to no sound overnight, but it only stops the sound, the screen still stays on and phone gets really hot.
This is turning out to be a huge problem for us.

Do you use a PIN (number) lock? I did but switched to the pattern unlock and it hasn't happened since. Also, I've been trying to charge only during the day or evening, not overnight. Maybe, since I charge during the day and I use it periodically while it charges it doesn't go into a "deep sleep" like it would if it charges while sleeping and the full charge notification would keep it awake. I don't know exactly why but it hasn't happened since. Hope this helps.
