Possible to leave screen brightness on when charging?

When in the car, I would like my screen to stay on when charging.
I found a way to do this by going to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay Awake
However the screen may stay on, but it still dims after X minutes (depending on the Time-out settings) so i cant see a thing on my phone during daytime.
I can ofcourse set the time-out to 30 minutes, but i dont want my screen to stay on full brightness for 30 mins when its NOT charging!
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks!

Setting profiles mate. You can set different profiles for when it is charging, including keeping the screen on, and when you unplug it, it goes back to normal. I've been using it for quite a while and it works spot on
Cheers

Sorry I'm a bit of a Droid newb. On my old 6,5 winmo there was a slider for brightness on battery and brightness on charge.
Is this profile setting stashed within the settings somewhere or is it an app?
Thanks for your help

Another way of doing this is to activate car dock mode when you're in the car. There are some apps that allow you to manually activate various dock modes, and I think when in car dock mode the screen stays on all the time at full brightness.
The app I used is called 'dock simulator' or something like that on the market, and it's free.

Sweet thanks. Any idea how to lose the logo?

Open settings, applications, development, and tick always on when charging, nice and easy

Yea but as already said in post 1 the screen dims.
found a problem with the dock app where it puts calls out on the loudspeaker, and you get the icon.... damn!

you can always download power manager from the market and set to never dim/timeout

Yes but then it eats the battery

Ok seriously what's wrong with you you've started a thread cos ur screen dims, get use to it! Of course if you keep your screen on your battery will die quick you can't have everything

I agree this is annoying, when you have the phone plugged into the charger it would be great if the screen didn't dim, happens sometimes when I'm reading ebooks on my phone, don't want to change the dim settings as I want the screen timeout to kick in when not plugged into the charger.

Is there any app that wont let the cpu go to sleep when the screen is turned off and wifi is running with file transfer? cuz no matter which program i try. Transfer speed always slows down to 40% once monitor off. I think the cpu is downclocked.

Sorry I thought this was a forum to help people over come issues. looks like you may be in the right place.
1. I never started the thread
2. the initial thread was started by some who has the same problem as me. This means I am not the only one with the problem and maybe it's worth solving
3. The thread was started because on power, in the car the screen dims and I want it bright as I can't see it in the sun. I want an app or a setting so when the device detects its on power it does not dim the screen.
quote from post 1
"I can of course set the time-out to 30 minutes, but i don't want my screen to stay on full brightness for 30 mins when its NOT charging!"
I know this is possible because dock simulator does this but has unwanted side effects ( phone on loudspeaker ) I know I could just fix the brightness on every visit to the car but this is a pain in the ass and I will forget to disable it and flatten my battery.
I could do this on win mo 6.5 and android is a much more flexible operating system.
Sorry if this post covered old ground but I found your last post rather provoking and I would prefer if you directed similar posts, elsewhere.
Thanks to everyone else who has guided in the right direction so far..

I have the same problem and when I asked before I got the same (none) answers.
It is one of the very few flaws I have with Android.
On WiMo I could leave the browser with the traffic site active and VISIBLE in my car charger and I could hit refresh now with android I have to touch the screen to activate the backlight and then refresh the site if I want an update.
I too just want the backlight to stay on ONLY when the phone is on external power, it can't be that hard and it shouldn't involve installing elaborate programs that consume more of the little precious memory I have left (until FroYo ...)

try an app called 'Caffine' from the marketplace its free and does the job perfectly

Thanks I'll give it a try.

HOX automatically dims brightness after 30 seconds

I' ve got a strange problem: regardless of any brightness settings, my phone dims down the brightness after 30 seconds. When I touch the screen it goes back to normal, but after 30 seconds it dims down again. It's annoying. Anyone got a solution for that ???
TIA

This is normal behavior when autobrightnes is disabled.

o.k. - but I got this behavior with auto-brightness on !

settings>display>sleep.

settings - display - sleep is "never go to sleep"
and still I got this annoying dim-down ...

That is also normal HTC behaviour.
The screen will stay on, but it will dim regardless of your time-out setting.

thx for the info.
Is there any workaround you are aware of ?

No, not that I'm aware off.
Even with Tasker, the screen will stay on, but it will dim...

woahhh i turned auto brightness ON and it finally started rotating again, cheers mate. But yeah i cant figure out why it doesn't rotate when you turn the auto brightness off.

BEWARE!!! YUREKA stock cm 12 users

This bug deserved a new thread.
If you've updated your phone to cm12, 5.0.2 then DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. in Settings>Display and lights DO NOT keep "Adaptive Brightness" and "Color Enhancement" switched on at the same time. If you do, and then EVER try to manually reduce the screen brightness to minimum, YOUR SCREEN WILL BO BLANK. PERMANENTLY. Not kidding.
AND IT WILL NOT RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION without a factory reset.
Things that won't work:
1. Pulling out the battery and trying to reboot it. Nope. Been there, done that.
Hope CM takes note of this.

Cure for it
well i have experienced it. but to avoid it you can choose the option
setting>status bar> and check Adjust brightness by sliding across the status bar.
so whenever the screen turned off you can swipe on the top from left to right so that brightness can be adjusted again!
you dont have to reset your phone.

I faced this today only.... screen went completely blank for a few sec, although I was not aware of this bug, but the brightness slider on status bar saved me....
So many bugs in this CM12.... huh...
and the screen off effects are gone as well after CM12 ugrade...

happened to me also.... I thought it was a problem with a theme... so i initially rated it 2 stars on play store, but after i saw it was a problem with cm, i went back and gave that theme a 5 star rating...

SOLUTION!!!!
It is still possible to take control over your phone in this situation. If your screen goes blank, this doesn't means that your phone has stopped working, the phone is still functional and you just have to find a way to increase the brightness. If you ever encounter this problem just swipe the screen twice from top to bottom to open the status bar and then slide your fingers on the screen where the brightness controller is present. This will surely solve your problem without any factory reset bull****. Please note that during this complete process the screen will remain blank. I have tested it a hundred times and it works 100%.

this works ... instead of factory reset

Not fixed still
Please someone take this in lights to cynogen devlopers

how to set the display contrast
or colour enhancement
in yu yureka

Just install vysor in your pc and plug your phone to the pc. Now control your phone using your pc and increase the brightness same wy you reduced it. No need for any factory reset. Hope this helps.

you should Try this
Facing The Phone to Direct Sunlight or if in the night. face it near to the bulb. It will adapt light from the bulb and screen works then you can turn off adaptive brightness. That's works for me.

Brightness Problem after boot

Every time I boot my lovely handset the brightness is maxed out no matter where it was positioned via the slider in the settings menu previously. It takes a good couple of minutes to sort itself out and within that time the screen flashes/glitches ever so slightly as if it's trying to remember the above settings. I can move the toggle slider left/right and there is not much of a change either. Weirdly if I tap the back of the phone when this is happening it will change the brightness on every tap. After this initial booting time it is perfectly fine and works as it should and doesn't happen again until reboot. I am on stock everything and this has happened on 1.30 and now on 1.80 firmware(s). Only a slight annoyance but I'm more worried about hardware failure. Does anyone else have or know about this problem?

Yes, mine is super bright on boot and shutdown, too. I actually thought this was by design.
