Android Power Management

[jimbob_jd]

Hi!

I am trying to get an Android device to turn itself on automatically when it is plugged into an external power source (AC or USB). Is this possible?

As far as I know, no. There are apps like Tasker that will do whatever you want when you plug it in. But the phone needs to already be on for tasker to be running.

Hello James, welcome to the forums.

The closest I can come to recalling anything like that is that some users claim success by using the alarm function along with an app that specializes in keeping the device awake once the alarm has sounded.

It seems to be different from device to device. If I were you I'd experiment and search AppBrain or Market, and even query alarm app developers about it.

hello
i want to know battery consumption of application or components (such as display, audio, etc..).
as i know, there is power management function that i want in over 2.2 android phones basically.
(ref: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html)
that showed the battery consumption as percent.

are there some API or method for getting battery consumption in android phones?
using the function, i want to make advanced power manage tools.
how can i get them (code level)? please, help me~~

Yes but this is the wrong forum for the question. You'll find more luck in the developer forums, but nonetheless I think I have used this before so I'll try and find it for you.
