I was unable to find any setting to allow the screen to remain on while the phone is charging.
It would be nice to have for the Home and Car apps
It's under "development" where you turn on and off usb debugging.

on a side note, as slow as the phone charges, it will barely keep up with screen on running a live wallpaper.... i was watching voltages and temps this morning...
CM needs to up charge voltage like he did on the g1
Now that it's updated to Froyo, how do you keep the screen on while charging? Especially hate it wen on G-maps and it keeps shutting off.
I think there are widgets but I thought you had to enable them first before running any other app.
Thanks guys for all the knowledge.
I am running into this also, I know that there was an option to keep the display on always while charging but that option is gone the way of the dodo...
Currently running
2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build is FROYO.UVKB5
If you can list a widget or even a change to the build.prod that could be changed or added that would be great.
Any change of getting a build.prod from an eclair build maybe there is a difference that could be found, maybe this functionality could be added back in or made accessible.
try screebl from the market.
mine is under development
On my phone, it's under development also.

This option is not available on some roms. I had it in eclair.ji6. I'm running stock froyo.uvka6, not there anymore.
I now use Widgetsoid ($1.46) which has a widget to toggle screen always on.

I searched the market and there appears to be a utility just for keeping the screen always on. I haven't tried it, just posting it in case you want to try it.

Screen Suite Lockscreen also has an option to keep screen always on.

What cable do you use?
Not original cable.
I want TV out to work when screen is off.
How to do?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
As far as I'm aware, the TV out comes from the screen feed and the audio feed. Therefore, if you do not have any feed to screen there is no feed to TV from the jack socket.
@borchgrevink,
The cable to use is a Nokia TV out cable, can be got in the UK from the bay for less than £2.00

Mvideoplayer app developer responded my email when I asked him if this would be possible:
"...Made a test build with that feature which I tested on my Nexus One with 2.2. It didn't work, when I sat the brightness to 0 the playback stopped and the phone went to sleep (I didn't know that), I guess this is how it works and that means it's not possible. There is no other way in the API to just turn of the screen. It's not allowed. "
Bummer...
I've tried the Screen Filter widget, but it shades the TV screen a well, so, the only way to spend LESS battery is to set the brightness to minimum before switching to your player of choice (in Mvideoplayer you can easily set it via a slider in the GUI).

I currently started getting bored with my basic atrix and wanted to try some new things
I was looking to make my phone into a portable netflix/playstation machine that i could use on random televisions i might encounter (work being the main one)
I experimented with the webtop hack but upon completion my HDMI selector would no longer work (when plugged in would no longer be prompted with media center)
Wiped phone (planning on doing that anyway so whatever) HDMI selector works
Still wanted the portable power so i tried installing the alien rom and the problem returned where i am no longer prompted for HDMI selection (although the Moto Screen saver appeared on the tv)
I tried looking around to see if anybody had the same problem/solution
help would be greatly appreciated as im starting to get a little flustered
thanks
Try installing the Neptop apk, it forces a selector
Nebtop didn't work for me. Running nottachtrix 1.3.1. All I got is no HDMI mode selector and a floating "M" screensaver on the TV.
Has anyone modified this app to work with the G2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934495
I was wondering so I could use my phone in my car with ARLiberator or ARUnchained and have the screen turn off on my phone rather than just have to leave it face down all the time.
Thanks!
I have been using it on the sprint model. I did have an issue where after the screen turned off that video would stutter badly and.the phone.would freeze up badly. However after soing some research I found that if you go into settings >> screen off methods and uncheck the persistant blank frames setting that it fixes the problem. Its working well.
I use it for slimport connection and when streaming via miracast or dlna also. Saves battery quite a bit. Unfortunately it is now an open source.project and there is little or no development unless someone decides to do it. So I do not expect the app to work forever.
Is there any other apps like this that do work on a LG G2? I'd like to turn off my screen completely when using Slimport adapter to external display.
Hi,
How do you turn off the Nexus player? I can't find an option for it, I had to just switch off the power instead.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

There is no "off" on the Nexus Player, just like the Chromecast. It goes into a low powered standby mode after a few minutes, waiting for any Google Cast connections to wake it up and start playing (with HDMI-CEC enabled on TV or receiver, it'll automatically turn on, switch inputs, etc to start playing your cast immediately).

Like @Elrondolio already mentioned, there is no "Power Off" feature (which I HATE!!!). However, you could look for some kind of switch that you could attach to the power adapter cord so that you don't have to unplug every time that you want to turn the device off...something like this: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1125 (though, I have no idea whether or not that specific cord actually will work...I'm just presenting the concept). I've done this with my raspberry pi and it's awesome!
Another option would be to plug the player into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch (which would be much nicer than the cord IMO).

I'm truly not trying to be confrontational here, simply curious: why do you hate that it's always on (in low power mode) so much?
To me, I see it no different than another phone or tablet in my home as it has nearly the exact same innards... all of my family's phones and tablets are on 24/7 as well, either on battery or charging on the mains. Having to boot up the box for a quick cast to show a quick video/trailer/etc to the family or start playing some music would be an inconvenience, I'd think, as having to wait for a receiver to boot its OS every time would be.
Again, simply curious as to your reasoning is all. Thanks!
Thanks everyone for your explanation.
I also have a Chromecast installed on my TV and I don't have any problem with it being always on WHEN my TV is turned on. However for the nexus player it will be truly always on unless you switch off the main.
I just got my nexus player yesterday so I dunno if it will be warm/hot if it's always on even when not in use. Anyway if it's not warm/hot if not in use then I've got no problem with it.
Thanks again everyone!
I've had my lean back launcher crash a few times, losing recommendations. It would be nice to have reboot

agreed, a reboot option would be nice. a 3rd party app can achieve this with root. such as: power menu

No worries about being confrontational, everybody has there own likes/dislikes...nothing wrong with that. Part of it is the made desire for efficiency that I have...why have something consuming power and bandwidth when it's not being used? Also, the amount of time that I and my family are using it is far less than the time that we aren't using it, if I was using it all day, I might not mind so much. Also, it's nice to do a reboot without unplugging the device, especially since I want to put it in a cabinet that is somewhat of a tight space. But, probably one of the biggest things that comes to my mind is connection to the internet on a 24/7 basis really bugs me. I know that my phone and my wife's phone is always connected...but it needs to be to notify me of things, my TV isn't notifying me of anything, I just want to use it when I want some good old couch potato entertainment, so why take up my bandwidth (I assume that it does some kind of check) and use any amount of power (which I do pay for, no matter how little the power usage is) when it isn't needed?
Personally, I believe that the following principle (highly advocated by Google) should have been followed: "Decide for me but let me have the final say" (http://developer.android.com/design/get-started/principles.html#decide-for-me). In other words, give the option to leave it on all the time for those that want it...but allow for powering off for those who don't. That way, everybody is happy.
I know this isn't an on-device fix, but if you're seriously concerned about your TV accessories only being on when the TV is on, there are many power strips out there that have a "master" outlet that toggles power to the rest of the outlets based on when the master device is on. So turning your TV on and off will switch power to the rest of your devices.
A reboot option would be nice. As for turning the NP off, I am using a TRIPP LITE TLP76MSG Eco Green Switched 7 Outlet Conserve Energy Surge Protector from Amazon.
Just an update, I found that when not in use the player is cool to the touch. As such I believe it goes into a low power/power saving mode. I have no issues with it being always on now. Way to go, google/asus. :good:
Confirmation of sleep mode
My nexus player's light is always on. Does anyone know if this means the unit is on or in sleep mode after the 30 minutes of inactivity? I have set it to 30 minutes and daydream does come on. Based on the manual, when the light is on the unit is on.
Thanks
https://support.google.com/androidtv/answer/6123074?hl=en&ref_topic=6121506
I think the light just means it has power, so it can be in sleep mode even when the light is on.
This was my main concern yesterday.
(I had since a week ago the Nexus Player but due my Internet provider's laziness, it was not until last night I could FINALLY setup my account and the device).
I noticed the DayDream options but I agree that the same OS needs an reboot option.
Mine doesn't switch back on when the TV is turned on again. Just a black screen and doesn't respond to pressing buttons on the remote.

I recently brought a Nexus Player, I am having the same problem like you. Is this a problem with the software?
Understand that you can't power off the Nexus Player, but will it damage the internal components of the player (flash drive, etc) in the long run if you just simply cut off the power supply, which is apparently the only way to off the device?

I actually got it exchanged at the store. The problem disappeared with the new one (also using 5.1.1). So get a replacement!
