Force Nexus 4 to stay awake when screen is off?

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.

Screen off.

So my battery completely dies on its on even when im not using it. Because when i receieved a call or text the screen turns on and doesnt turn off at its own. Never had that problem on other phones. Is there a setting im missing???
100% get a text screen stays on leave the phone come back 2 hours later n it drain the battery cuz the screen stayed on the whole time.

I had asked a similar question and found out that no matter what the screen is going to come on when you get a text message. Now it definitely isn't supposed to stay on. That's not normal. I'm sure you have restarted you phone already as it may just be a bug that needs a restart. Another option for you would be to download a third party text program such as handcent.

You didn't happen to go into developers settings and accidentally check the keep screen on while plugged in box did ya? Or try Display settings n see what screen off is set at. I know these are probably obvious things but ya never know, we're only humans and we do miss things sometimes. Hope it helps ya?

Yea thats what i thought screen usually goes off base on the screen time that i set 15 seconds. But the phone screen stays on after 15 seconds of receiving the text i have to press the power button in order to shut the screen which its ok when im around the phone not charge but when i leave in my desk for a while i dont get the chance to turn off the screen so the screen stays on n kills the battery its weird. I even disable the pop out in lockscreen on message settings and still the same. Set the display to turn off at 15 seconds n doesnt help :-/ sucks

My battery life is terrible....

My S5 battery is worse than s4 and G2. Could it be my Gear 2 watch that's the problem? GSAM tells me Android system is at 30%. I also have S Health pedometer running because I can't seem to find a way to turn it off.
Any suggestions?

You can turn off the S Health pedometer by opening the S Health app on your phone, select the pedometer, and hit pause. That will stop it from running.

Disabling bloat ware and any other app you don't use is the biggest driver in saving battery

When I hit turn off, it prompts me to Uninstall the app. It does that and now I have turn on as an option. Will the phone automatically reinstall the app? There's a buck I'd like to turn off, but makes no sense if it'll just install again.

Look at the things that's been running for 140hrs. There are more than this. Any of your phones have this happening?

when you turn off or disable an app, you are prompted to uninstall any updates that were downloaded. once you turn the app back on, if ever, then it will have to reinstall the updates as well.

Ok...i turned off all kinds of stuff.

I turned S Health off all together in app manager. I don't use it. The pedometer is still working on my watch.

How many days have you had the phone? My work email abs calendar sync usually kills my battery for a couple days

Release day phone.

After turning off most of the bloat, today, I am at 49% @ 15hrs on battery. With over an hour phone call...lots of texting, some youtube as well. I think I resolved my bad battery issue.

Screen stays on?

Anyone else noticing their tab screen randomly staying on?
It's always the same, screen randomly turns on and stays at the locked screen. It does this until I interact with it, or until it runs the battery dry.
It's sporadic, sometimes when charging or not even touched.
I haven't been able to isolate what triggers the screen to turn on.
One night it was charging face up and it just turned on and stayed on.
The other day, I left it in a drawer fully charged and came back to it completely drained.
Most other times it just happens when it's laying around.
Sometimes it stays on with notifications, sometimes no notifications.
But during the nights, I have it on blocking mode, so notifications wouldn't trigger the screen.
I also made sure daydream mode and stay awake are both off.
At a total loss here.
Anyone else have this issue?

I was having this issue when I had the brightness turned all the way up. The phone would randomly wake itself up. Try switching your time off to five minutes and turn off the smart stay. Worked for me and fixed my battery issue

My brightness is never all the way off, most of the time it's actually all the way down.
Time off has been switched between all the times, and smart stay has never been on.
Can't seem to figure it out.

Weird... Mine only did it with bright all the way up. Have you tried factory reset?

Yep, no luck.

No/Delayed Notifications after phone is locked for long hours

My S10+ has not been receiving notifications every time after long hours of locking it and not using it.
Example:
I lock my phone before i go to bed, when i wake up and unlock my phone, i am flooded by all the notifications all AT ONCE. Which means i did not receive them while i was sleeping. These notifications includes anything, my games, Facebook call, Whatsapp messages, Facebook messages.
I also did a test and asked my wife to call me using Facebook to wake me up in the morning, but my phone did not ring nor did i get any spam messages from her on Facebook or Whatsapp. However, normal calls do work and my phone rang. As usual, after i pick up her normal call and unlocked my phone, all the notifications starts to flood in. The test is done on both WIFI and 4G.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone manage to fix this?
FYI: I have disabled Adaptive battery and any power saving options.

Do you have any bixby routines running? If so, double check they aren't shutting stuff off to save power at night or anything.

i have the same issue

I've had similar issues but these are notifications coming through 10 mins after they do on my iPhone
You tried a factory reset?

Did a factory reset already no difference.

can you check if you have any power saving apps?
can you check if the apps have been put to sleep?
can you check if you are disconnected from wifi or data during idle or sleep time?

same here

Settings > search for 'Optimise battery usage'. > in the drop down select 'All' to list all apps.
Make sure for all the apps you are getting delayed notifications the switch is turned off.

No power saving apps.
Did not put any apps to sleep.
Not sure how to check disconnection of wifi or data during idle without unlocking the phone

It's already off. Facebook, Facebook messenger and Whatsapp are all turned off under there.
I know the rest are on by default, but i don't think i need to turn those off since they are not important.
