Help Preventing screen from turning on after unplugging charger

[groston]

All,

With my HTC EVO, when I unplug the charger, the screen turns on. Is there a way to stop this behavior, i.e., the screen stays off when the charger is unplugged?

My phone is not rooted.

Thanks.

My Desire HD does the same.
It scares me every morning in my half-awake state

Don't think so. I like the fact the screen turns on. It tells me the Evo is still fully aware of the charger.

If the screen didn't come on, then you may not be sure that it charged properly and didn't just die on the charger. That can happen if the for some reason the charger wasn't plugged in properly, or the power strip it was plugged into was turned off.

I'd rather have it acknowledge it was unplugged from a power source. That can prevent a false assumption that it was charged when it was not, only to realize too late when you are outside and can't plug it back in.

Don't you already have the LED indicator in the top left which should be green when fully charged?

That's a subtle notification, having the screen go on or off is better confirmation, especially if in a rush about.

I also dislike this. I normally quickly unplug the phone then put it in my pocket. If I forget, thats 30 extra seconds the screen is on, killing the battery.

yup...very annoying

You could use tasker to set an unplugged event context to set the screen timeout down to 7 seconds, sleep maybe ten seconds, then change the screen timeout back to what it was. Something like that would probably work. It won't keep the screen from turning on, but it will turn off faster.

EDIT: Actually, I think the screen timeout is already lower when you unplug the phone, so this is probably pointless.

yeah I have just been in the habit of pressing the power button immediately to turn it off
