I think you have to make sure in "USB Debugging" 'always leave screen on while charging' is UNCHECKED...
This worked for me

Basically a screensaver on 4.2 devices, only works if the phone is docked or charging so no battery waste

My I9100's battery died because I used the phone too much while charging it... what's the point of Daydream, then?

The other thing to check is:
Go into Settings -> Display -> Daydream.
Tap When To Daydream.
The default is When Docked. If you want to daydream while charging, you'll need to change it to While Charging or Either.

Battery drain while charging usually shouldn't happen, probably your battery is getting too old

[REQUEST] app or tweak notification if charging is full

is there an app or tweak if charging is full, there is notification led or sound?

Your request reminds me of this app, NoMoarPowah by chainfire

It's not exactly notification when fully charged. What it does is replacing the battery indicator when you're charging with the phone off.
You can set whether to switch on the phone when reach 15% or 100% or specific time or according to your alarm (so your phone is on to trigger the alarm).
I don't think it works on ns, it requires some sort of samsung library file.
Might be useful if you have other samsung devices.

Badass battery monitor apparently can notify on full charge but I've never used the notification. I'm sure other battery monitor apps may do so as well.

[ Q ] not turning on

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

It was plugged for like an hour or so and no dice.

Not sure if it would help your specific problem, but my thread covers every fix known-to-man for issues such as yours. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.

Yup - there is a sticky that covers this method, and all the other methods as well. For anyone else suffering from similar N7 issues, be sure to check it out. Either go to stickies in this Troubleshooting section, or use this link.

[Q] Alarm When Phone is Off

Ok i keep it straight..
Its my first Android device (The S4.)
Switching from my nokia c7 i've had this issue of alarm not going off when phone's off..
Actually i faced this problem that day when i had only 4% battery left (obviously it wasnt going to last that night)
So i turned off the phone and thought the ALARM would wake me up the next day..( as my nokia always did )
But to my surprise it didnt...
I did search for some solution on xda but no luck..
But then i saw the link of alarm working WITH PHONE OFF on the Rival HTC ONE..(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406083)
So i was wondering whether the devs would be able to make some app..(Or refer me if theres any as i couldnt find one..)
Thanks for your precious time..
Regards.
Me
EDIT : So i was going though some more stuff on this matter and found something relevent..
Like there is a real time clock running on pc (that keeps time even when its off)..
Maybe HTC does use that to make its ONE power on ..
I think some files in the kernel can be edited for some progress on our s4 ( I am completely a noob and have no idea about kernels n all , i just read it somwhere)..
Maybe some real pro can help us out here, by studying htc one's files.. and try to make it work on some other 'SmartPhones'.
+1 to that plenty of time phone nearly dead and would love to do this if possible

The problem is that some 'smartphones" never really turn off.
My Blackberry Storm was one of those and my guess is that the previous phone you had didn't either.
If the phone is in deep sleep mode, then it can wake up.
If on the other hand, it's off, and I mean really off, there is nothing you can do.
The current crop of Android phones turn off; not go into a deep sleep.
Then how can HTC one do it..
I mean it may go to deep sleep..
But can't our s4 go to deep sleep..?

I am! Have not test it... I always love that feature on my Sony Ericssons And nokias. IPhone never had it. Would love to have the function here on the s4. But again I have not try it. I will tomorrow

When your screen is off your phone is in deep sleep. At least should be i dont know how they did it but when you turn off android phone its off. No alarm. Maybe they have modified fly mode and altered frequencies for cpu gpu etc to be just enough to ring alarm with almost zero power consumption. But again its not off. I miss that too. Its like where to **** is my charger or hope my alarm rings
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
With screen off battery goes down by more than 8-10%
I don't think that's deep sleep.. (in deep sleep battery shouldn't drain more than 2-3%..)
Yup if HTC can do that y cant Samsung.. Or other devs..
Thanks for the reply..

It's not a matter of firmware/software (which you clearly don't understand), it's a hardware thing. The hardware isn't capable of it.

You probably didn't read some of the replies on that thread..
It doesn't work on AOSP or other roms but only on SENSE rom..
So it is A MATTER of firmware./software..
So I think it can be achieved..

Check your apps. I have 4% over night data off. Once i broke power button on lg p990 so few days i had to live with no deep sleep to be able to turn screen on with volume buttons and man, drain was over 15%/hour.

Dude only 4%,Thats great for you..
Do you use any battery app.. Or its by default..?
I've removed one phone lock app which did save me about 7% drain but still cant get it below 8%..for ( 8-9 hours of sleep )
But i'd still love this alarm feature..
Just test it and no, it does not work.

Yes. Software-based. The question is that if a 3rd party app have access to the system to create an "auto on" or if is something that needs to be manage on the OS itself. Maybe with root access?

Maybe some tweaks in the kernel..
I read somewhere that HTC uses some real time alarm clock.. ( I ain't confirm about it though)
Haven't got any developer interested in it yet..

How to use Tasker to keep display off when wireless charging?

I use a Qi wireless charging receiver with my Galaxy S4. It works Ok, but as soon as the phone is fully charged the display turns on, and keeps turning on every couple of minutes as the phone continually switches between running on the battery and wireless charging. Since I charge overnight this means that the phone display is flashing on and off for most of the night.
How can I use Tasker to prevent the phone display from turning on while it is on the charger overnight?
Are you rooted? Xposed has a Wireless Charging module that will help

Yes I'm rooted - thanks for the tip. I've just installed the Xposed Wireless Charging module (v1.3.1) and unfortunately it doesn't work on the S4 :0(
Hmm it does on mine

Hmm....so I did the following:
1. Installed Xposed Wireless Charging 1.3.1
2. Opened app
3. Unticked the "wake on charge" option
3. Ticked the "wake on undock" option
4. Rebooted.
When I place the S4 on the charging pad the screen still turns on and displays the "wireless charging enabled" message. Does yours behave differently?
I should say that I'm running Phoexix ROM v7.3 (which is based on stock XXUEML1)
