Ok so I just installed my nexus 7 tonight but I have no idea how to use tasker to turn the screen on and off. Watched the vids in this thread and still can't figure it out. Any help is much appreciated. - bryan

This helped me out with mine. There is a couple videos the first one he talks about tasker and I used some of his basic setup to get mine working.

Does that post help any?

For display off, you wanna look for "System Lock"

For Display on, you want "Stay on" , I believe once the tablet gets power the screen may automatically turn on.

Thanks that vid helped. I still haven't figured it out yet but understand better now.

When I select stay on on tasker it says not available for this device and something about being rooted. Does that mean I have to root the nexus to make this work ?

I have a Samsung Galaxay Tab2 7 so not sure if if there is a huge difference between the two or not. I Know that under settings menu then developer settings there is also a power on when charging that you can try.

Eh, Im rooted, I believe that may be a requirement, try installing secure settings I have to install that with being rooted for many of the options to work.

I figured out my problem. I was clicking USB plugged instead of power for my task

So I think I may not be able to keep the screen to stay on for more than 30 mins without being rooted but that's ok for now since I usually change songs and whatnot to keep the screen awake. Thanks yellow!! Read through this whole thread and you were a lot of help

I thought the same. As long as I don't have my nexus set to lock, it stays on.
