I don't know when this started, but it is odd. If my device is charging, the display does not time out. It does that half dim thing, but never goes off. I have tried several of the timeout settings, all in fact. I am using Tasker, but none of my profiles or tasks set the time out to "always on". I have even disabled Tasker just to make sure. This happens with AC or USB charging
My wife's does not do this, both are rooted and on FR008 (thanks attn1).
Anyone else see this?

Have you checked:
Settings > Applications > Development > stay awake
?
That was it...thank you.
I still need to send you that Tasker file.

Hi, every time I turn off my WiFi connection, it turns itself on throughout the day. This way it drains out my battery really fast and clearly I don't like it, since I hardly ever use WiFi on my phone...
Anyone an idea? I might have overlooked some settings I just should have ticked, on or off.
Cheers

Do you have any automatic updates set up for example weather, stock, emails etc?
I'm running Titanium on 6.5, energy rom. I think you're talking about tf3d, or? How shall I do it?
I turned off the setting in the weather menu, 'download weather automatically'. Is that the option you were talking about.
Somebody please shine a light, since this kinda sucks ;'-)
edit: On top of the screen there's an icon with a G on it, sometimes it turns in a red wifi icon...Thought I should mention.
edit 2: And WiFi was just turned on again, magically. Argh!

Yes, this is what I was talking about. But you should also have a similar option for stocks (not sure about titanium as I don't use it), email and possible QuickGPS application if you use it.
Basically it sounds like something or some app is activating your wifi to come on as you have it setup to update automatically
I tried to find a solution for my problem, but I couldn't find any.
Everytime I plug in my phone for charging the display turns on and stays on, same thing happens when I disconnect my phone from the charger. The screen in GingerBread (JVQ) doesn't timeout like it timed out in Froyo/Eclair. This could be potentially a huge problem for your screen. You could get a "burn-in" effect if you get a power outtage while charging and you're asleep/away.
Thankfully there's Tasker (It's a paid app!).
With Tasker you can turn off your screen while you connect/disconnect your phone from your charger.
Here is how I set it up:
Add Profile and name it: TurnOffDisplayOnCharging
Add State-->Power-->I selected only AC
Add Enter Task: Add Tasker-->Wait-->5 seconds and then Add Display-->System Lock (You will need to add Tasker to your device administrators.).
Add Exit Task: Do the same like you did for your Enter Task above.
Of course you don't need to have both Tasks, you could only have an Enter Task or only an Exit Task, it's up to you.
You can also change the timeout/wait time or add any other setting if you like.
Solution 2 (free solution!):
WakeLocker for Galaxy S.
I've uninstalled the app and restarted my phone and the settings stayed! Yay!
Timeout is the same what you have set for "Screen timeout" under Settings-->Display.
I hope this thread was helpful!
display ALWAYS turns off while charging
unless you use modification that enables such setting
plus you must activate such setting to have 'screen steaying on when pluged in'

Guess Juwe's ROM has such setting enabled.
as youve mentioned such setting might lead to burining screen pisxels
i think if juwe woiuld activate such settign he would put some information about this in huge red letters

So... you're saying there's something else keeping my display turned on after I connect/disconnect my phone from the charger? An app maybe, or some hidden setting?
And, NO, I don't have "Stay awake" option in Settings-->Applications-->Development, only "USB debugging" and "Allow mock locations".
yup something is wrong with your phone, never had such issue
and the only way i know to make display always on is this setting
I just did a re-search on Google for my problem and found your thread (it's even in your signature).
And one of the features for Stock+ is:
+ Enabled stay awake for ac and usb in settings/applications/development
Also found some other people with different roms have this same problem.
Guess this solution might be a good quick fix, instead of re-flashing/searching for other suitable roms.
as for stock+ look at my signature
as for the bug, as i said never hadsuch issue so realy hard to tell what can cause it
but that is not how properly working phone is behaving for sure
and not a problem of stock firmware
As much as strange this will sound.. this is not a bug, it's a feature...
Juwe has it implemented on his rom, as it is also in some other custom roms. I personally can't think of a proper use for this, but, trust me it's a feature. In Juwe and the other roms it is implemented as a setting somewhere in the settings(normally in 'Settings-->Applications-->Development' and sometimes in the display section). But it can also be enabled, if supported by rom (in stock it's not) , when using either SGS Tools, Nitranity or Spare Parts.. can't remember which one exactly sorry. try to remember if you used any kind of tool app to mess around
but leaving it ON as a default is stupid - as said it will 'burn out' your phone display
it MUST be optional - and information about this should be in big red text
Well, $omator , I am a big fan of yours, really! AND your are ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, UNDOUBTEDLY RIGHT, but even so that is not the case I know it for a reason because I played a lot with my SGS, since I got it. I have seen this in settings and availability to be enabled through an app.
Really hope you fix your problem, yani2000, shame to burn out accidentally the display. Until you resolve your issue you might want to try charging the phone while it's shut off and see if display still turns on. If not this a temporary fix
moegrave suggested an app for this solution and I've found it!
WakeLocker for Galaxy S (free app on the market!).
Guess there's an app for every trouble GalaxyS has.
EDIT: I've uninstalled the app and restarted my phone and the settings stayed! Yay!
Timeout is the same what you have set for "Screen timeout" under Settings-->Display.
@$omator:
This becomes a problem only if there's a power outtage or somehow your phone gets disconnected from the charger and you're away or asleep.
The phone doesn't wake up and stays on after 100% charge and eats the battery (like some have reported in other various threads).
So this is not such a big deal, but could be dangerous for your screen (burn-in effect) if it actually happens.
glad to be of assistance, yani2000
and guess there ARE apps for everything nowadays
thanks you so muchh you have solved my biggest problem
i have a custom rom on my sgs ii and i had this problem
thanks
Every time I turn off my tablet, the next time I go to use it, it's already on.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is this something that other people are experiencing?
Thanks!
Never experienced that
I don't know, My first N7 is faulty but not that bad, maybe your tablet is reading your mind and it turns on when your thinking about using it?
How are you turning it off? Tapping the power button only turns off display.

i am powering it down by holding power and pressing power off.

It's clearly haunted.
Or an app is waking it up to sync / find location / steal and transmit your data.
Have you tried running Avast ? Locking all the running apps ?

quite strange..
I don't believe apps can turn it on when it's off..so if you turn your N7 off, your alarm is disabled. at least, I'm pretty sure of that.
And, so you watch it turn off all the way? And later on it's on?
Is it plugged in to the charger?
Have you ever watched it for a little while [while you were doing something else, just glancing at it once in a while] to see if it just randomly turns on?

really? but how does that work?
that means the clock app must be able to control the rtc hardware, and tell it to power up at a certain time... I didn't know they'd done that on the N7...

Calendar -> Settings -> General Settings -> uncheck Notifications
It's a shot in the dark but who knows..
Or I suppose if you like you could disable calendar sync in Accounts & Sync, and then erase Calendar's data.
This has been driving me crazy and I must be doing SOMETHING wrong because I can't get it to work on my Nexus 4 either.
I select Daydream and have it set to either or when plugged in, but the Daydream scene will not start, no matter which one I select.
In fact, here's what happens. I plug my Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 in set the Daydream to Clock (or any other), and the screen will just stay on. It will refuse to sleep until I press the power button, but it will sleep (screen off) if I turn Daydream off.
So I assume something is blocking Daydream from working? They are both running stock 4.2.1, bootloader unlocked and rooted. The Nexus 7 just had a data reset done and I even had reloaded the official images just yesterday.
I've also changed the sleep time to something different (currently set at 2 minutes) and it still doesn't do it.
Anyone know what might be causing the problem? Does anyone else have this issue?
Yeah, I got this as well. Daydream never starts unless I start it. Never comes on when charging.
Check developer options if "Stay Awake" is enbaled there.
Just a wild guess....

isent it supposed to stay awake so you can see the option you selected...?
daydream works perfect for me. I can only use it though while charging. I haven't figured out how to get it in a dock mode without a dock

Have you tried all the choices (clock, colors, etc)? When I first tried daydream, I had to cycle through them before one would work, once I got that one to work they all started to work.

I wouldn't know about that, because I was playing around with them a lot when I found this feature, but it works since I set one (I use slideshow or that other pictures one).
You need to wait a little (= screen timeout), and then it starts.
I am confirming it.
So weird. I plugged in my Nexus 4 into my PC..and boom. All of a sudden it starts working. Randomly. Same with Nexus 7. WTF. How weird...
I wonder if it had anything to do with the December bug...considering it's December 1st now..
Stay Awake
You have to make sure "Stay Awake" under 'USB Debugging' ins UNCHECKED (third one down)
When I press the power button to lock my Nexus 7 the daydream wont come on, only when it goes to sleep after inactivity. Total bs... is that normal?

I would have asked Verizon, but I need a Verizon number to contact customer support.
I enabled the developer options on my smartwatch and toggled on the option to stay awake when charging, but the screen still turns off. It even turns off if ambient mode is enabled. I suspect it has something to do with dock mode overriding those settings. Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution?
Thanks!
Edit:
I found you can disable the charging app from settings. This prevents dock mode from starting, but doesn't keep the screen on. I found that enabling stay awake while charging in developer options keeps apps open but turns off the back-light. If you look very closely, you can see whatever is open faintly. Disabling it will go to ambient mode, but still switch off the screen.
I finally wrote a quick app to do what I want.

My screen still turns off with the app set to stay awake while charging. I have tried with the dev options enabled and disabled for stay awake while charging. Do I also need to enable debugging as well?

No. Mine works without debugging on or the stay awake while charging option. It also works fine with always on screen setting on or off. I'm assuming you are using the Wear24. If your watch was running Oreo it might be more aggressive about stopping the app, but I wrote a case for that.
Is the notification displaying? If you dismiss that Android Wear may stop the background process.
For me I'm unable to disable it it's on all the time while charging enabled or disabled
