I have an OEM Samsung landscape pogo dock and I can't quite figure this out.
If the phone is locked, when placed in the dock it switches to landscape, brings up the clock (though I don't see it, the screen is still locked, but its there if I unlock) and then turns off the screen.
If the phone is unlocked, when placed in the dock it switches to landscape, brings up the clock and then dims it to whatever appropriate level set, but it never times out and eventually turns OFF, it just stays dim the whole time.
On my Nexus One it would turn off after another definable interval, for the life of me I can't find any menu setting for this. I've tried both stock and third-party dock-clock apps.
Anyone figure out how to do this?
I just receive my Pogo dock.
I've connected this to my Yamaha Pianocraft and it works great, but I'm little confused.
I have to lift up GN from the dock to change the song, because the screen goes off and i can't do anything.
Should I set the options to never goes to sleep when charging. Actually I thought this would happens automatically. But it doesn't.
Is there any good clock app that works with dock. I would like to have pitch black screen, because of Amoled. Galaxy Nexus Clock app doesn't dim to pitch black.
Thanks

If you flashed a custom ROM like AOKP, you can use the volume rocker to wake the phone up.
Long press the clock app, it will turn to pitch black.
Hi All,
I want to use my Nexus as a night-time bedside alarm clock.
So, I know that I can use the stock clock app, and tap it to make it go dim, but after a few minutes, the screen saver kicks in and the display switches off.
The only way to get it back on is to press the power button.
Is there a way to leave the clock app running on screen all through the night?
Do I have to purchase an actual dock for this?
Or does the phone need to be charging for this to work?
Cheers.
I think a long press on the blank space (turning the background black...not dim) will work?
Hmm, I see that makes a difference (totally black screen, clock in blue), but the screen still switches off after the normal time...
Developers options, stay awake while charging.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
I spend a lot of time at home, and should naturally rest my phone on its dock, but there appears to be no way to prevent it front brightly shining the time at all times, and with no movement, given that every amoled screen owned gets burn in after 6 months.
It Apparently goes off at night hours but not when you're room is pitch black and asleep still at 11am.
Is there any way to turn off the clock, where it just comes on for notifications and a tap to the screen to see the display light up with time
It made my Google home which came with the device pointless, clashing with the phone itself, but at least it makes use of the Ambeient didpsay, and in pitch black the clock is only just visible (even if it is lcd)
while the phone is on the dock, tap the top right corner to access the settings. then click the option for "Screen off when dark"
thank you
I'd say how hard was that to find after lots of reading, but as we know whilst Google has the tech they can lack in intinuity.
I was about to unplug the £60 useless device. The fact I had to ask a knowledgeable user for info speaks volumes. Granted, it'll have a bright glowing unneccrsary day time on when day docked, meaning forced not to use. But at least in darkness it will stop burning the screen out whilst the free home display will keep the time if I need to glance rendered so beautifully that it's only visible in darkness after your eyes have adjusted.
Just wondering if enabling ambient lighting, whilst disabling what you said, would lower the oled clock to almost darkness, whereby not an issue.
Whilst not perfect, your advice means at least I can use the Dock provided I don't use or for long periods during the day, which I won't.
Can't believe how u intuitive that setting icon popped up when pressing in an open blank space.
Thank you.

Second, surely, or I guess not, docking can't enable smart unlock which then enables you to your example say 'hey Google morning', turning on all lights, heater, music, and needing to be unlocked, unset "do not disturb"
I can't just yet think of any owner intrusive questions to ask, and hence I've subsequently (for those in my situation), found a toggle to stick on 'silent mode' when docked.
The remaining issue is having both Google home display and stand in the same room. At one point the ovine did the actions and now the home display does.
Saying 'ok google, goodnight' , turns all my lights and heater off, a weather and travel to work summary, and asks what time to wake up, then plays an entire hour long of sleepy music. I'm happy the home hub does it, but it sets its own as alarm whist my phone doesn't set. I then cant find any way of adjusting the length of the sleep music. When it was thru the phone it allowed you to change the sleep music type (but not duration). The home display appears to not allow either.
Also, can anyone reccomend a smart life (and hence goggle home compatible) relay box to insert between my mum's immersion heater 'on' light switch style plug. She's downsized to an apartment, which has one of when old immersion tanks that it's purely for hot water (washing dishes and shower), whilst the heaters are electric.
We can't seem to find a way of programming it and it seems silly keeping it on 24-7, when it's likely to just be turned on from 5am-7am. Then 5pm-9pm. Adding a smart live breaker to schedule and turn on /off via Google play would be great
Thanks in advance.
Ps last unrelated question, I'm guessing the memory management issue has been fixed still, as everything constantly refreshes, unlike my pixel 2xl,pixel 1,and nexus 6p lol lol lol
Thanks in advance
Could someone please point me to the notification app that causes the screen to light up when fully charged and how to force the landscape mode when the phone screen goes into AOD mode?
I have a car cradle/charger that is in landscape mode with the phone open like a tablet and it's annoying when the battery is fully charged the screen keeps lighting up. Also, when the screen times out and enters AOD mode, it rotates back to portrait mode when fully opened in landscape mode.
I was able to disable this on my Note 10+ but it seems to be a different process for the Fold3.
Thanks
Are you using a car dock that plugs into the base of the phone or is it a wireless charging dock?

Wireless fast charging dock.
I also use a wireless car dock and have had to make some changes to use the Fold3 properly.
First I set up developer mode so that I could enable screen on while charging. This way the screen would normally not turn off while in the cradle. Here is how to get developer mode set:
Step 1: Go to Settings > About Phone.
Step 2: Tap Software Info > Build Number.
Step 3: Tap Build Number seven times.
Then enable Keep Screen On when Charging which will keep it out of AOD
Second I set up the Assistant menu from Accessibility Options in Settings.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Accessibility.
Step 2: Tap Interaction and dexterity >turn On Assistant menu
Step 3: Select items that will help while driving.
A floating ever-present icon will now be on your screen (you can change the transparency) and you can tap it to show items to change. I use the Volume item all the time as my car dock hides the volume control. Screen off is good if yo want to override the always on while charging setting for a bit. Screenshot is wonderful and easier than any other way to save what you're looking at.
Also make sure all apps are set for Auto rotating so they are easy to use in the car dock. There is a screen rotation selection in the Assistant in case one pops up that is not set to rotate on it's own.
Hope this helps!

Use Bixby Routines to keep it on landscape when in your car. If you connect the phone Bluetooth with your car stereo, use that as the condition, otherwise whatever else might fit (not sure they separate wireless charging from just charging in general). I'm not quite sure what you mean by the phone keeps lighting up when charged?

It only does that for a second and only if the phone is off, so I'm not sure what the big deal is to have that happen, especially if you aren't even paying attention to it because you're driving? Not once while driving have I ever noticed it happen, and I keep my phone on a wireless charging holder in the car (I use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Tethering to my stereo on it for music and Google Maps on my Android car stereo) where it generally is on AOD while I'm driving. It sits right next to the stereo screen.

Okay. It hasn't distracted me at all, day or night, the few seconds that it does it.

It lights up my entre cab and the glare blocks vision to my drivers side mirror.
I have the fold open and in landscape mode so it's a significant light source when this happens.
So I assume the charging notifications have been removed from the SYSTEMUI app now?

Why do you have it open if you don't use it while driving, as using it would be even brighter than a quick little blip on the screen? Not sure how it is even that bright, either, but in the car mine is closed on the wireless charger holder since I use my stereo screen for Google Maps, music, launcher, etc. (and when parked can use basically any other app like YouTube or Chrome). Do you not have a stereo screen in your car, as I can see how not having one would mean your eyes aren't adjusted to having a screen in the dark car? (My screen auto-adjusts the brightness, I believe.) What are your phone screen settings?
You can turn off the charging sound, but that's all I see about the charging notification in the settings.
ETA: Out of curiosity, I tested charging it to 100% with the screen off, phone open, and me watching it for when it turned 100%. It did nothing but change the number to 100 and the battery icon to full, so I have no idea what your mean by the screen turning on. I was thinking maybe it does the same thing as when you first start charging it with the green circle thing, but it doesn't. Maybe you are using a third-party charging screen that you forgot about? Like from a weather app or something?

So, if it is already on, I don't understand your problem? The phone itself doesn't do anything to alert you when it is fully charged.
I don't always have the fold3 on when I'm driving at night. Sometime I use a navigation app.
The issue as explained in the 1st post is when the fold3 is opened fully and in the wireless charging cradle, and I am driving (particularly at night) and when the phone reaches a fully charged state, a notification shows "fully charged" and the screen lights up for about 5 sec.
I don't know how clearer I can explain that I'm looking to disable this notification as I did with my Note 10+, which did the exact same thing when fully charged and docked.

Mine doesn't light up like that, so I don't know why yours does. Mine can't be open while on the wireless charger, but closed it doesn't turn on and plugged in while open it doesn't turn on when it reaches 100%. Is it turning on your lock screen? If so, I guess change that to just a black screen. If something else, maybe it is a third-party app you brought over from your previous phone.
There was a notification setting in SYSTEM UI a couple versions ago that let you disable the fully charged notification.. Seems to be missing in the latest Android release.

My charger is similar (with the suction cup and curved arm going down), but I wouldn't want my phone open on the charger as it would block my stereo screen (2-DIN size) which I use for Google Maps and other apps, and I don't use my phone screen while driving (just use it for WiFi tethering so my stereo gets data and for Bluetooth for music, calls, Google Assistant, and notifications read out loud from Bixby). If I'm parked and waiting, I use my phone in my hand for ease.
I don't know about the setting, but it is weird if they took a setting away but left it as each person had it set at that moment.
Just bumping this thread as I'm still looking for a solution..
The notification I am trying to disable is for 'battery full' and 'wireless charging paused' if anyone can help.
Thanks
