[Q] Won't dock/daydream while on official charging orb - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 8gb nexus 4 and I absolutely love the thing, today my Official from the play store charging orb came in. It works great as a charger but refuses to be a dock.
When I put the device down it makes its little docking noise but daydream does not turn on and the screen goes dark. Daydream is turned on and is set to only enable when docked.
If I enable daydream for just general purpose charging then it kicks on automatically like you would expect. However not when its set to turn on when on a dock.
Also is there anyway to make the phone automatically not vibrate while on the charging orb, it tends to slide off.
Thanks!

The orb is recognised as a charger and not a dock. Thats why it wont work when you set it as dock.

[LOT] of quarks

Anyone else notice any certain conditions that cause their N7 to NOT allow the screen to be turned on? There was a situation where I had my N7 in my glove box in 30 degree weather for 30 minutes (while in a store) and when I got home the N7 wouldn't turn the screen on (full battery before going into the glove box). Then randomly while pressing or holding the power button the screen would come on and I can continue use of it (it doesn't reboot or power up, it just "responds").
Next is why does the N7s battery drain if watching a video (downloaded) with the brightness high or low while plugged into a charger? Both 2.1 Amp and 1 Amp ports have the same effect. I have also noticed that sometimes the N7 will charge faster on a 1 Amp port vs 2.1 Amp. It is the weirdest thing.
BTW I am on CM 10.1

Nexus 7 in car- lockscreen issues

So I decided last week to start using my nexus 7 in my car as a bigger screen for maps and music instead of my nexus 5. It's not a in dash mount, but got a nice lil holder that works very well.
So heres my set up thus far: stock rooted 4.4.2 and im using tasker to toggle airplane mode based on if power is present or not, as well as adjusting the screen time on (set to 23hrs when power is on, 15sec without power). Since I have the wifi model, i use a NFC tag to turn on hotspot on my phone when i put it in it's cradle in my car. Everything works great, fully functional, but I want to tweak some more.
I use google music, so those of you who do as well should know how awesome the lockscreen looks with the full screen album art when playing music via google play music.
I'd love to be able to take advantage of that lockscreen and have that stay on and not time out and turn off display. Does anyone know of a way that I could manage to have the screen not turn off when on the lockscreen?
I mainly want to do this because I don't like the the light theme of google music, hell I'd even be ok with if there could just be a dark/black theme option in the app, or rather all the google apps.
any and all help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Wireless charging screen on

I've been trying to find a way to disable "screen on" and vibration when putting the phone on the charging pad, and when the battery is full. The worst part is when the battery is full and the screen turns on - lights up the whole room in the middle of the night (then keeps turning on and off until I remove it från the charging pad). Has anyone found a way, app, or combination of settings that can disable all vibrations, sounds and screen ons caused på wireless charging, on stock-based ROMs? Can't use AOSP anymore for various reasons, there everything could be turned off easily.

[Q] How to disable wireless charging and battery full notifications on Lollipop

Has anyone found a way to disable the annoying wireless battery notification or the battery full notification? It is really annoying if you are in a car using a wireless charger and run an app that keeps the screen turned on. For example, if the screen is on when you place the phone on the charger, the charging notification will appear and never go away. The same thing happens when you are driving along and the battery reaches 100%. The notification is stuck on the screen until you turn off the screen and then turn it back on. Is there a better way to avoid this?

Auto-Rotate While docked charging?

So I just got the Samsung Stand Charger. Its cool but I was wondering if there is a way to get the time to rotate horizontally? If I put the phone vertically I still see the time/date. But if I turn the phone horizontal to charge, the time/date doesn't rotate so it looks weird on the screen since its sideways.
