Don't want the phone to go to sleep after plugging it into the docking station

[lchmiel]

When I plug the phone into the docking station it switches into to the sleep mode immediately: the screen goes black. This is not what I want to happen. In fact, I have a loader which uses the docking station port in the car. So, when I put the phone into the holder it goes to sleep, so each time I have to switch the screen on immediately. This is tedious. Such a behaviour is inconcvenient at home as well.

In SmartConnect I went through the options related to the desktop charger but I did not find anything useful. There are no actions like "keep the screen on" or "wake up".

Any ideas?

You could go to settings > display > daydream

I don't want a screensaver. I just want to have the phone stay in the same state it was before.

Besides, in spite of switching "Daydream" on, the behaviour did not change.

This could be an app acting up, just try this

settings > apps > all > smart connect > clear data > restart your phone and check again

Try to boot your phone on safe mode. Then check if that is still happening.

Just turn off the docking action in smart connect.

Perfect!

In fact, I have cleared the data of SmartConnect, but I didn't reboot the phone... Stupidity does not hurt, but consumes a lot of time.

Not good. This solution worked only once.

Stubborn thing.

Then its another app acting up

Try Settings> Developer options> Stay awake.
