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.

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

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
Ian

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?

Yea but as already said in post 1 the screen dims.

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

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.
This is prob a simple fix if you know where to look. When charging how do you stop the screen dimming. This is annoying when in the car and has only started doing it after the latest upgrade to 4.1.1.
Have looked in settings but cannot see anything in the display and battery sections.

you want the screen to stay on the entire time the phone is charging?
if so:
Settings > Developer Options > Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)
you want that checked.
No, he wants the screen not to dim after x amount of time, which it does even if set to stay awake during charge.

ahh yes, I see what's going on now. There's no direct setting for this (that I know of), but it would be very easy to set up in Tasker.
The screen normally dims 10 seconds (or is it 15 seconds) before it shuts off. So if you normally have it the screen turn off at 1 minute, it'll dim at around 45-50 seconds. However, when the option is checked to never turn off the screen when charging, the time at which the screen dims is still based on that same setting, and still occurs 10-15 seconds when the screen would have turned off (had the stay on setting not been checked).
If you already have tasker, you should be able to set this up in just a few minutes. Set up a profile that becomes active when the USB is plugged in. When that profile is active, it starts a task that sets the screen time to something crazy (like 20 hours). and if the screen time-out is set to 20 hours, then the screen shouldn't dim until 19 hours, 59 minutes, 45-50 seconds. and then set up an exit task so that when the USB cord is unplugged, it sets the display time-out back to what you normally use (1 minute for me, but set it back to whatever you normally want).
Zeinzu is correct in what is happening. Why this has changed in the update is strange.
"Member", I appreciate your reply but for a novice like me it seems a bit in depth. Where can I get this "tasker" and I will have a go.
Thanks for all your help on this.

Tasker is available on the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...MsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
it can be little confusing at first, but read through the online guides, and I'd also be happy to help you get it set-up (at least with the profile/tasks I mentioned above to get you going with Tasker).
That is not the issue. When the charger is plugged in by default the phone makes a noise very X seconds which can be turned off but the screen dims and brightens as well when the charger is plugged in. This is really annoying!
Apparently the S9+ does not like my USB hub for charging. The hub even has charging only ports. When I plugged the phone into the normal ports I kept getting a pop up ever few seconds about that the computer should do with the phone. The red light would pop on and off while plugged into the usb port. When I connected the phone to a wall charger this dimming stopped.
I was also see the charging message pop on and off which I thought was quite odd. That disappeared when connected to the wall. It would appear that the phone was probing the usb for some kind of connection?
Hi, I recently bought a pogo pin dock for my GNEX, it is great. I use my dock on my bedside table to simply charge it overnight, and then to hear the alarm go off in the morning. But when ever I put the handset in the dock the desk clock mode kicks in. I know you can touch and hold the screen for the clock to turn a dim blue.
I have Googled this and searched for apps on the play store that will allow me to simply kill the display and put the handset to sleep, but no luck. I have found apps that will let me customise the desk clock, colour, font, brightness etc. I sleep in total darkness and even at the lowest brightness setting in various apps, the damn screen is too bright. And anyhow, I do't like the screen being on even if it is not displaying an image, or the time. An AMOLED screen is never truly black or off, it just looks that way when other pixels are illuminated.
I have even flashed an AOKP ROM such as JellyBro hoping that the dock settings would have more features, no joy. Anyone have a suggestion on how to achieve the phone being in sleep mode whilst in the dock?
Many thanks. Anil
I have a real ghetto fix, tape the middle pin of your Nexus's pogo pin. Your phone will start charging after 9s as the dock cannot communicate with your phone and will only charge at USB rate. If you have a custom kernel, enable USB fast charge to charge it at normal rate.

I think you can have Tasker do this. Create a profile which triggers on AC charging, then create a task that switches night mode off IF the UI mode = desk.
I don't have a pogo dock so I cannot test it.
Can't find another question like this one... so here goes:
Just got a Moto 360 for 149.99 USD and its great so far.
Did that force update to 5.1.1, this one worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/moto360/comments/3ahj1l/a_surefire_way_to_force_the_511_update/
Now I look into turning off the screen when its charging, only to run into a very strange issue...
In the developer options, which you can enable using 10 taps on the build number in about, there are two options:
1) stay awake while charging
2) burn-in protection
Burn-in protection will NOT save the check when your restart, so in essence, is useless.
However I found that using stay awake while charging DOES indeed turn off the screen, but here's the catch: you have to set it to ENABLED.
Don't believe I have ever seen a setting on android that required it to be on, to be off...
But hey, it does work, on mine at least.
Also the whole "just hit the button to make the screen go off" ONLY works in Theater Mode! And I personally dont like pushing a button to check the time.
If Theater Mode is off, it will just brighten the screen for around 2 seconds, then dim again.
Here's my question, what does that burn-in protection do anyways? Just pixel shift over time? Why can't it be enabled?
Hope this helps some people!
that setting does nothing for me
the screen stays awake regardless of ENABLED or DISABLED
funny how motorola hasn't fixed this yet
just put watch in "Theater mode" before charging
and it would switch the screen off on charger too

It started on mine, in the dock. Every few minutes everything on the display jumps in size from small to large and vice visa
The staying awake feature is backwards. Crazy

I restarted mine after setting to enabled, also ambient / theater mode are both off.

Yeah, no. My screen turns off for 10 seconds then just becomes dim black with backlight again.
Is there no damn working solution?!
I love the Now Playing Feature, and it has improved on the P3 with History lists/adding playlists etc. I like using the stand on my desk by the PC all during the day . Previously I had a non-charging stand and the Now Playing feature would display and capture all the songs as I was listening. Just a glance was needed to remind me what was on. Enter the Google Stand. No matter how I configure it never shows any Now Playing display on the screen. What I have noticed is that History is still capturing the songs. Weird. Not displayed on the screen but captured... Well, I'd like the Now Playing display back.
Is anything working on Pixel Stand at all except charging? No
Not complaining as I got it for half-price on BF at BestBuy, but I guess I should have read up on the "magic" of integrating GA into my charging stand. I don't use my phone in my bedroom and do not want/need/like GA in a charger stand at my work desk. It does however rapid charge the phone and keep the phone at a good angle for viewing either in portrait or landscape. For now I'll just disable all the magic and wait for a new, useful feature. Who knows... maybe Now Playing will return?
I got the stand for half price at BestBuy as well. I ended up returning because Google removed the voice unlock, which killed it for me.
I think it's because the screen isn't actually "off" when it's on the Pixel Stand. It looks same/similar to the AOD, but it's not. It shows the clock, date, weather and notifications (but seems to show ALL notifications, like Tasker, which isn't shown on AOD) as well as the Assistant bubbles and actions at the bottom with the charging status.
If you touch the screen the settings gear shows up, meaning the screen is on and allowing touch input. I believe the Now Playing only shows on AOD when the screen is "off".
