Suppress screen lock when charging? (N8)

Is there a way to suppress the screen lock when the N8 is connected to USB or the charger?

Actually it is possible. The app "lights on" http://store.ovi.com/content/8172 senses whether the phone is charging and keeps the screen on. I used this all the time on my old N95 and did install it when I first got the N8. I decided to uninstall it as there is some concern about AMOLED screen life if displaying a static image for long periods, so haven't tried it since the Anna and Belle updates. It is your choice whether to use it if the risk of screen damage is real and significant - I didn't feel that I knew enough to risk it. If you want a free app that will keep the screen on, but without the automation that the above app offers. I do kept my screen on for fairly short periods using Le countdown, http://store.ovi.com/content/53253 which has a setting to keep the screen active which works even when you put the app in the background. I would again suggest that you make sure that you are happy with the potential risk of screen damage before you decide whether to keep it active for extended periods.

  • E71 screen locks when charging

    Hi there,
    I cannot deterministically tell you how to proceed to get this, and in what cases it does not appear, so my question is of the form "has someone ever had sth. similar?".
    Many times when my phone is charging and I am using it, it won't come out of the next standby. Actually the screen wont, I can still use the keys and everything, I just can't see anything on the screen (no it's not the display light, its the screen) 
    Regards,

    Same problem. And even without the phone being used. If I go to sleep while it is charging ... somedays it is dead when I woke up. I have no idea what is it or how being plugged in can take the phone into zombie state. But it does ... sometimes.

    Hey sajidkhan,
    Make sure Auto-Lock is not set to Never.
    Goto Settings> General >Auto-lock.
    Auto-Lock is described on page 97 of the iPhone User Guide.

  • Ihpone 5 Touch screen unresponsive when charging

    I noticed my screen became Unresponsive and behaving erratically while it was charging. The charger is an Apple OEM charger. If I unplug it from the phone the screen begins to work normally again.

    Hi guys. I was having the same problem. Found this one another thread.
    "Update: after my second iPhone 5 immediately had the same problem, again only when charging, I called Apple back. I had been using a third party USB wall plug and they recommended using the factory wall plug. No issues what-so- ever after the switch. They even told me to stop into my local store and they'd swap my third party adapter out with another Apple adapter at no charge. I'm very satisfied."
    I'm using a 3rd party plug in b/c I lost my one from Apple. Haven't swapped yet, but it sounds like this might be the problem.

  • Screen locks when I try to call someone

    Hello.  Can someone please help me.  When I dialed a number today as soon as I presses the call button my screen locked and when I tried to unlock it it just went on lock again the touchpad was not working nothing

    Does the same thing happen if you restart the phone? If it does, I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.

  • Nokia 5800 - keep screen on when charging?

    Is there a way to keep the screen of the Nokia 5800 turned on when the phone is plugged into a charger. This functionality was available on many older generation (non-Symbian) Nokia phones, but I can't find such a setting on the 5800.
    Similarly, it would be useful to have a way to keep the phone unlocked when it is plugged into a charger.

    If you download 'smartlight'

    you can keep the light on all the time. worth every penny!!

  • E7 - screen unresponsive when charging

    The touchscreen on my E7 becomes unresponsive while charging. Essentially it seems to be losing it's accuracy. It stilll works somewhat but you have to tap all over the screen to get a response, and then it's not the one you want.
    I noticed the same on a friend's C7. Anyone else noticed the same.
    Nokia:
     Any help (though no one from Nokia will ever reply anyway...)
    P!
    My Nokia history:
    2110 => 6110 => 8110 => 6310 => 2300 => 2600 => 6070 => E71 => N97 Mini => E72 => C7 => E7 => E6 => 700
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Does this occur when connected to a mains charger, a computer or both ? I tend to get a little slowing down (not innaccuracy) when connected to computer via usb, but no change when connected to mains, can only assume there is some processing going on whilst connected to computer ! It's not somethying I've noticed before, just tried it after reading your post, so I obviously don't see it as a major issue, and this is the first post I've seen on theis subject !

  • Screen Lock When searching external hard drive?

    Why would my screen be locking up when I try to access my external hard drive? It shows the folders contained in it, but won't let me scroll down to see the rest or open the folders when clicked on. when I try to use the menu at the top I just get the spinning wheel. I have to force quit to get back to my main hard drive, which works fine.  I'm able to access the folders through lightroom so I feel like the hard drive is not at fault.. Any help or ideas would be greately appreciated

    …and I suspect you want some clairvoyant or mind reader to guess all the details and specs of your setup?

  • What does the screen display when charging?

    I finally got my nano to keep charging while not updating from itunes...since this is my first charge, my screen is displaying "do not disconnect" with the lightning bolt going through a green battery in upper rt. corner of screen. Does this mean it is actually charging? When it finishes charging does the "do not disconnect" go away?

    this actually means your iPod is in disk mode. you'll need to eject it before that goes away: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135

  • Screen locking when pressing "M" Key

  • Screen lock + sleep + hibernating - xscreensaver

    Hello everyone!
    I'm a new ArchLinux user, installed this week-end and I already love it! I got my system running pretty well quickly (because I knew what I wanted) but I have a "probably not" last issue to solve. I'm running fluxbox + SLiM and I don't find any nice screen locker when I go to sleep or hibernate mode. I don't want to use xscreensaver ...
    I installed the i3lock that looks to suit my needs (small and fast). However I'd like to start it after X time of inactivity or when the computer goes to sleep or hibernate. Do you know how to achieve that?
    I've never played with the hibernating/sleeping system yet, any good documentation to this is also welcome for my own information and also because I like knowing more or less what I'm doing (or how it was implemented on the very common and famous distribution I used before)! I'm open to any other alternative suggestion, xfce4 tools are ok, I'd like to avoid Gnome/KDE tools (not because they are not good ... :-p)
    Thanks for all your pointers!

    Try lualock ? It's in the AUR.
    As to suspending/hibernating I recommend pm-utils: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils

  • How do I turn off the screen lock feature on my IPhone 4S?

    How do I turn off the lock screen feature on my IPhone4S?

    You mean the passcode lock, or just the generic lock that requires no passcode?
    For passcode lock, go Settings > General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and then disable the feature.
    For normal screen lock, go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, and set it to 'Never'.
    Now your iPhone will only screen lock when you press the 'Sleep/Wake' button.

  • My iphone4s does not lock the screen automatically when playing music and charging

    My iphone4s (iso5.1) does not lock the screen automatically with the condition in charging and playing music.
    System has been set to lock the screen in 1 mins.
    Everything goes fine when not in charging, the system can lock well even playing music.
    System can lock as well when all the music playing apps are closed, even when charging.
    I don't think that's my apps' problem, all my music playing apps have the same problem.
    My ipod has the exact same problem described above, I believe that's an iso system bug.

    It's not something i'm familar with but i will forward it internally for investigation. Could you please send me a PM with the IMEI of your phone and the build number? You can find these under Settings -> About phone and Settings -> About phone -> Status.
