What does this setting do?
Check out the attachment.
There is some mention of this function here but no real explanation.

I think it turns your phone on (if powered off) for the alarm to sound.
Android has more than it's share of cryptic and undocumented settings. This isn't one of them though, it does just as it says.

You'd think I wouldn't be here asking about it if that's what it was. Come on guys. I've tried it, it doesn't work like you said. It didn't power on my phone. So the question is: is this a coming feature or does it do something else completely?
No, it's the reverse of what you are thinking AFAIK. And consistent with the behaviour on my S5 i.e. prevents auto power down if enabled, so that your phone remains on (during the pre-alarm period), so that an alarm will remain viable. Your alarms will not work if the phone is powered off.
As noted in the source or more precisely, git repository annotations
<string name="auto_power_deactivate_alarm">Pre-alarm power on enabled. To enable Auto power on/off, disable Pre-alarm power on under Alarms

Confirming that if you want the auto power on/off feature enabled, you need to uncheck the alarms item. So the auto power on/off feature and giving priority to the alarm are mutually exclusive. Also note that this is a CSC specific feature, so the autopoweronoff class may not exist for all CSC versions.
.
I never even saw that setting until I saw this thread so I was guessing as to what it does.
I have the Verizon version of the Galaxy S5 and the only menu options I have are "Delete" and "Date and time".
Would be nice if that feature was available and worked, phones during the pre-Android days would automatically turn on at alarm time so you could keep your phone off at night.

IPhones have this feature. This needs to come to Android already!:silly:

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
is it possible to reset the database used for the "Smart mode" Wi-Fi option? When I first got my device I remember after a day or so the Wi-Fi would automatically turn on if I was in the vicinity of my home and my parent's home. Now it won't turn on in either locations, however it will turn on in certain locations "randomly" that do have Wi-Fi... for example today at work it would turn on several times after turning it off and entering certain floors that carried Wi-Fi. There has to be a database of some sort or a way to reset it so the only two locations that matter to me, home and parent's home, get preference to "Smart mode". any suggestions?
Theoretical, haven't tried it, but try this -
Settings / More / Application Manager / All / Sprint Connections Optimizer -
Force stop
Clear cache and data
reboot
thanks for responding, unfortunately I do not see "Sprint Connections Optimizer" even under the All tab in Application Manager. I'm on 4.3 if that makes any difference...
That's Really Odd....

I don't have the Sprint Optimizer as well. I found this thread because the "do you want to use smart mode" (paraphrasing) pops up all the time for me despite the fact that I always have it enabled. It's quite annoying when it pops up in the middle of the night and lights up the entire bedroom. Anyone else suffering from this deluded feature?

anyone know how this smart mode thing works? should I leave wi-fi on all the time and let it do its thing or what? seems like with this option on, wi-fi keeps turning on even when I turn it off.
By any chance, is this setting in WiFi / Advanced what you're looking for?

thanks for this link! never noticed that specific option in the advanced part of the wi-fi settings. wonder how true it is when the article states that leaving this option on saves battery versus firing up the GPS chip. I understand GPS would suck more, but would it do it silently at the app's request even though the app isn't running in the foreground? Anyway, this setting might be intertwined to the Smart mode Wi-Fi option, however Smart mode Wi-Fi is a separate option along with this one you pointed out... which kind of raises more questions!
So for the last couple of days my HTC One M7 would recieve a notification and the screen would just stay on the entire time for no apparent reason. Im on latest OmniROM and its starting to bug me. Like for instance I get new mail on Gmail in the middle of the night. The screen turns on, it show the notification, and it doesnt turn off until I turn it off. If I restart, its fine for a few hours, but as soon as I get a notification, the problem reappears.
Nobody, seriously?

Dude, you took less than 24 hours before bumping. Not everyone checks the forums regularly.
Also, per the FAQ, bug reports belong on jira.omnirom.org
However the behavior you describe is a feature in Omni. Let me guess - you turned on Active Display and forgot about it? (Since it's off by default, and the behavior you describe is not something I've ever seen on any device when AD was disabled.)

Nope.
Just to note, I am seeing the same thing on my nexus 5 running the 10/13 nightly. AD is disabled and I have never enabled it. I was wondering why sometimes I would pull my phone out of my pocket and the display would be on. Since reading this I have verified that this happens when I get a notification. I will submit a bug report on jira.omnirom.org.
eta: oops, I just realized you need an account for jira.omnirom.org.

This doesn't occur on any of my devices, including a Nexus 5.
Are you running some sort of notification customization app of some sort?
Define "screen on" - Lockscreen? Blank with backlight on?

I am not running any notification customization apps just straight Omni nightlies. It happens with any notification that I receive. It goes to the lock screen and stays on until I unlock it. I am going to wipe and reinstall the ROM and try and determine if it's an app issue.

Do you have "screen stays on while charging" enabled? Even then, it shouldn't be turning on for a notification in the first place.
None of my devices turn on for a notification in any situation, and the screen always shuts off quickly (faster than the screen timeout setting) when it's at the lock screen unless "screen stays on when charging" is set in Developer Options.
Hi can someone on stock rom please try to see if alarms go off while phone is off? It don't seem to work on pure nexus which is worrying.
Do you mean when the phone's screen is off, when the phone is on silent, or if the phone is physically off?
If your phone's screen is off, the alarm will go off, if your phone is silent, your alarm will go off. If your phone is off, then it is off and the alarm will not go off.

My HTC M9 did it as Google implemented this in 4.0 or 5.0 not sure.
It was not a HTC feature.
What the .. How is the alarm supposed to go off of the phone is powered off and the OS is not running. You are indeed mistaken about this.

HTC devices don't truly turn off, they're in a kind of hibernate mode, similar to Windows 8. If you let the battery drain entirely on a HTC device it takes much longer to boot afterwards.

I think the above post explains it all for you. Nexus phones do not have such feature as your HTC did. When the phone is powered down it is as if the battery was pulled and it is truly off. No alarms will go off.
I had had fastboot turned off on my HTC so it did not hibernate.
Guess HTC found a way to do it. Never mind, need to make sure I always have enough charge for airplane mode and nights sleep.

Why do you need airplane mode? If doze works properly, then it shouldn't lose power quickly. But why not just charge the phone while you are sleeping and have your phone on silent if you don't want to be bothered?
Plenty of phones have this feature, but not on any Android I know of (I don't have an M9 but my M7 does not do this). My old Nokia E63 did it as well.
I wish more phones would have it though, as its great not having to worry about that one time your battery dies overnight and your alarm doesn't go off.

It used work on my Galaxy S3 & S4 as well. you need to have encryption disabled and password on start up disabled to make it work. I did not try that on my 6P, because my work forces me to encrypt my phone.
Alarm with phone off
My mate 9 has this feature. I set my alarm for whatever time. When I power my phone off there is a box that has a check mark in it saying keep alarm active after power off. If I leave the checkmark in my phone alarm will still ring at the desired time. Even though a phone is off there is still internal power to the clock. Works great. Hope this helps.
6P probably doesn't have the required H/W (and associated boot-loader).
Disabling encryption or setting File-based encryption or disabling pin to start will only help if the phone reboots itself.
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
