Hi Everyone.
I am not sure how best to describe this but I am curious if there is a setting to disable the clock from fading out after a couple minutes. Basicly I am in Aus and am currently unable to easily obtain a dock so would love to have to clock screen continue to be visable whilst on USB charge when at my desk at work. Am I missing something simple here to enable to keep the clock\dock visable?
Cheers
Ben

Hi All,
can anyone make a software to toggle usb charging? half the time my phone is connected to the usb for syncing but i dont want it to stuff up the battery since it charges it to full in about 3 hrs and i stay in office longer than that. would be good for the battery to be able to switch it off once in a while.
thank you
I know there's a reg key that can do what you said, depending on your device. I guess an app would be as simple as toggling that reg key. You can do it in mortscript or skschema.
But if you got a phone like Trinity that I own, then you are out of luck
I should have asked this before starting work on my program but I should ask it before I work too long. Has someone made a program that monitors the light sensor and g sensor and based on that set vibrate?
I am working on a program for my Touch Pro that will do that following before setting vibrate but I could use some help. I am not too great of a programmer!
1) make sure it is dark
2) make sure the device hasn't been moved for x number of seconds
3) make sure device is plugged into AC power
I am making it in C# in Visual Studio
I have 1 and 2 nailed. I am having problems with number 3 though.
I can not get a reliable way to make sure the device is plugged in. Anyone know how to do it? I tried p/invoke GetSystemPowerStatusEx2 but that doesn't seem to work correctly, it still says AC when it is on battery and battery when it is on AC for quite some time after it is changed.
I am using a combination of that, whether the device is charging or not, and whether battery is at 100% (it seems the p/invoke switches to AC from battery when the battery reaches 100%) to determine if the program should poll the light and g sensors.
I would love a method which can tell me accurately if the device is plugged in or not and also has an event it can call so that I can enable/disable polling quickly and efficiently.
Another problem I am having is I need to make sure this program sets the device to unattended mode but only when it is in AC power. Is it possible for the device to come out of suspended and into unattended mode without the user turning the phone on first so that my program can run?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
If you click on your clock widget it will open HTC Desk Clock. You can then put your phone on your desk and it'll act just like a desk clock. Problem is, I think the HTC programers screwed up because after about 20 seconds it times out and your screen turns off. When you wake up the phone again you're back at your lock screen. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a desk clock, which should constantly show the time.
Does anyone know if this is something the devs could fix?
PS: Sorry if I'm not explaining this very well...try it and you'll see what I mean.
It could be done. I've no actual experience doing it, but there are apps that prevent the phone from sleeping.
Otherwise, you could just turn off the screen timeout altogether, or there's an option in settings>apps>development to turn off auto-timeout only when the USB cable is plugged in..
Just my two cents.
Or you could just go buy a desk clock.... I hear they are pretty cheap.

Yes and you could buy an ordinary phone but wouldnt both defeat the purpose?
If you plug the phone in and turn on the desk clock, it'll stay on. The time jumps to a different place on the screen every minute or so.
I guess the whole desk clock function was intended to be used with a charger base, so you can actually see the screen.
I think it behaves the same with the night time clock too.
Sorry guys actually I am not a wp7 user but my friend who owns a HTC Surround ATT Version T8788 insisted to ask me for help on his phone. His phone has a little heart-shaped icon over the battery bar which i believed that it is battery save mode for htc wp7 phone based on my research. I do actually did all possible ways to get rid of this problem but still it cannot be resolved.
What I did:
1: I tried to charge the phone (via pc usb cable and adapter) in long term but it failed, in contrast the phone would switch on and off rapidly. My Zune and PC cannot detect the phone via pc usb cable.
2: I pressed on the settings mode in order to try to disable the battery save mode but when I was getting in there it freeze for a while and it popped out to the main home screen. It did not allow me to get into the settings mode every time unfortunately. Same goes to any other apps and modes in the phone.
3: I failed to get into recovery mode since there has not much battery left. The purpose I did so is because I wanted to try to do a factory reset over the phone.
4: I tried pulling out and in the battery for 30seconds but still not gonna switch on the phone unless it is charging (but still i face the problem on (1) while charging).
5: I bought a new battery which i believed it has at least 50% of the battery life in it but it is still not allowing me to get into settings mode to disable the battery save mode. Not just settings mode but other apps and modes as well.
My apology again because I really lack of idea on resolving my friend's phone so the only way I can do now is to post this thread in htc surround ATT Version T8788 xda forum. Lastly, I do appreciate someone who can help out to solve this. Million thanks for any of your reply and co-operations.

1. Are you using OEM cable? No adapter should be required, if you are using a different cable pc might not acknowledge phone.
2. How are you accessing settings? Settings can be accessed from "Settings" app on app list; swipe to left, swipe up, tap to open.
3. ?
4. See 1., also try charging @ wall outlet it will charge much facter than through USB, again OEM cable recommended.
5. I do not think that batteries com with 50% charge. I could be wrong but when I purched my device it had only a residual charge ( enough to boot and make a few short calls).
If low battery charge is issue you should also receive message "Battery Critically Low" upon boot. If you cannot access any apps once booted and icon is still appearing over battery you do not have enough of a charge. If your only option is to charge though pc give it plenty of time it should chare even if not using recommended cable. Charging will be indicated by flashing red LED. Turning off your screen should speed up the process (it will take several hours plugged in to USB).
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your response and patience! Actually i just resolved the phone problem Monday ago.

Hi,
Some custom roms like AOKP allows to enable / disable the "Wake up on charger". If it's unticked the screen don't turn on if you plug / unplug your phone from USB or wall charger.
EDIT: sorry misreading, it's for wireless charging...
I have accomplished this with some Tasker (app) profiles i found on the forum. I have attached them. The profile turns off the screen after 3 seconds of starting charging then prevents it from coming on again. Perfect for inductive chargers that lose charge for a microsecond every little bit. It also keeps the screen off after removing from the charger, you have to manually press the lock button.

Works for me. Screen never comes on after the first three second, which I lowered to one second. have you locked the phone first before you put it on the charger?

I use the orb to charge my N4 at work. This works great until it reaches a full charge. At this point the screen turns on as wireless charging shuts off. Then a minute or so later when it drains to 99%, the screen turn on as wireless charging starts back up. Then when it reaches full charge a minute or so later.... yada yada yada. This is beyond annoying watching my phone flash continuously. My only "solution" at this point is to slide the phone up so that the wireless charging doesn't work and leave it that way until it drains further. Is there any way to tell the screen to NOT come on when charging starts or stops?

How familiar are you with messing with Android?
In system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml there is this option: <bool name="config_unplugTurnsOnScreen">false</bool>
It is set to true by default but if changed to false, as far as I can tell, the screen won't turn on when you start/stop charging the phone.

I'm assuming you have to be rooted to be able to do this, right?

Yes - best case scenario for editing that value is that you're rooted and deodexed. That way framework-res.apk will be more easily editable.
