Is it possible to stop the G1 going to screensaver when not in use, I want to leave it displaying my emails when it's on charge.
If you go into the settings there is an option to stay on when plugged in.
Settings-Application settings-Development and check Stay awake.
Hope that helps.
Spot on thanks
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.

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.
Power Button Not Working SGS4 Not Sleeping SOLVED
For whatever it's worth, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48871706#post48871706 - maybe that will be helpful.
I am using Cyanogenmod on Nexus 4 to perform some current measurements.
Now I have one problem where Nexus 4 will go to sleep whenever I disconnect USB cable (with screen turned off). The idle current goes down to almost zero (from 0.10A) and anything that I started to execute over adb finishes only when I turn on the screen or connect USB back to Nexus 4.
Does anyone know how I can fix this and force Nexus 4 to stay awake when I turn off the screen?
Anyone? Is there some settings in Android/Cyanogenmod that I can set?
Play a tune or something.
Or I bet there's an app in the app store.

Try SafeCharge application and there is a setting to keep a wakelock manually so that the phone won't sleep with screen off

Thanks. That's pretty much how I solved my problem.
I downloaded app that enables wake lock. Before device would always go into standby mode and lock everything up.
The idle current was pretty low with wake lock enabled (like 22mA)... not sure if this is normal.
Lock screen stays on after i get notification or not at night when am sleeping. draining my battery.
or even when am charging the phone after few hour's or minutes the screen just stay's on for no reason.
yeah i tired Smart Stay and developer options etc they are turned off.
i think one of the app's is keeping the phone awake. but i don't no which one. i got to many app's.
is factory Reset the only option?
