captivate vibrate when fully charged

another great feature. especially if that pesky full nights sleep is bothering you. Samsung are you just testing us?
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Mine doesn't, I don't have haptic feedback on. I wonder if that is why?

I didn't notice the vibrate, but...
My Captivate hangs on its charging cord from a low outlet, and I keep it in my bedroom. At about 3AM, I experienced what it would be like to have an AMOLED night-light.
(When it finished charging, it turned its screen on to tell me and the screen was bright enough to light up the entire room and wake me from a relatively deep sleep.)

I've had it charging beside me and knowing the phone is off you aren't expecting anything from it....scared the sh*t outta me twice now,lol.

When the captivate is fully charged does it have a popup that asks you to remove it from the charger along with the alert?

yep... is there a way to disable this?

I am working on a way for the vibrant and just wanted to see if the captivate was the same. Once I figure it out more it should be able to be made for both. Here is the link to my alpha tests. You can try it if you like but I make no guarantees as to how it will affect the captivate. Make sure you have a nandroid backup if you do try it, also let me know what happens. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748400

Thanks I'll wait until you get it QA'd.
BTW I figured out a (crappy) compromise, I use CT Scheduler from Market to turn phone off after 11PM. Free app. Not because I'm cheap but I have been spending quite a bit of money on pay apps lately and I like to try things different from the herd so not going with locale.
But anyway, this is a total fail workaround because it would be ideal to have the phone stay on all night, but in vibrate, so if someone does need to reach me in the middle of the night the phone lights up, vibrates, and wakes me up so I can take the call.

I tested your theory.
Phone OFF, Haptic OFF, vibey-vibey = YES
Phone ON, Haptic is OFF vibey-vibey = NO just a big bright room illuminating shock in the night when it turns the screen on to let you know it is charged.

Aha! So then a short term solution is to cover the phone with something, or place it display down? Until someone figures this out, that is.

[Q] Anyway to turn off the Battery Charged Message?

Don't mind the message when the battery is low.
BUT. At nights I use Gentle Alarm and do not want the screen on. Somewhere in the night when the battery gets a full charge a message (in a little blue box similar to the battery low msg) pops up and turns the screen on.
I have disabled the: Keep Screen on while Charging option but would love to just be able to disable that message.
Also the phone seems unusually WARM in the mourning especially if the screen has come on.
BTW I have been feeling more awake during the day since using Gentle Alarm and the Pre Alarm. What a WONDER to wake gradually and not GET THE *&%^* UP type of alarm .. LOL

I would like to know this too haha. I've had the same experiences.

Me too please!!

OK, This is really getting annoying.. My phone is waking me up EVERY night when it's fully charged.. If it's not on silent/vibrate it does that damn chirp when it's finished charging..
If it's on silent/vibrate it vibrates when it's fully charged. WTF?? seriously EVERY night when I finally fall asleep it wakes me up!!!!
Who the hell designs a phone to do this ****? I mean 98% of people probably charge their phone while sleeping so if I put my phone on silent it shouldn't make a damn vibration just to tell me my phone is charged.
Can someone PLEASE stop this, I'm willing to pay!

I think I found it!
I'm working on it now. If this works, you guys owe me a big sloppy one. I'm sick as hell and even took off work today, but I'm still working on things, and trying to make life better for you and your phones.
Damn, what is wrong with me?!?!

Not a bad idea, but I'm not really in it for the money. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be rewarded for a job well done and I appreciate it, but I enjoy what I do on here and I would be doing most of it anyway. I just get more ideas from you guys than by myself. ESKBL, accurate battery mod, and removing the batter popup message were thoughts, but I probably wouldn't have bothered with them that much if other people weren't so interested in them.

is the battery mod available for the showcase? I took that theme off, because the text was a little too small for me, but I did like the battery being correct. I think I like the one with the circle the best with the number inside..

Taken from another forum. Apparently it is not just our phone. It does have to do with Li-Ion Battery's aversion to not so much being %100 charged but Getting HOT when they are. So Sammy thought to help us prevent this.. *how thoughtful* LOL
After reading this I will probably NOT be charging all night in the future.

If you do want to charge at night this is somewhat a workaround.
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
(in settings)
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
(not in settings but in the apps)
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.
From what I am seeing no one can really figure out which XML is pulling it. I poked around (but being somewhat lost in the filessystem) and found nothing.

I've found it and it's not in the xml code, it's actually in the smali coding in the framework way down in the services.jar. The problem that I have with sammy graciously doing this for us is that when they put that little popup message in, they didn't think about those of us that have check the "stay awake while charging" option. This helps me out while I'm plugged in to a computer and don't want the screen to go out, but at night I want to charge the phone and turn the screen off. Even if you turn off the sound, the popup still comes up, the screen turns on and your phone heats up even more than if you were just charging it all night.
I'm testing the mod right now. If it works, you'll have two options; remove the popup altogether, or bypass the sound with the work around that you found. In the future, hopefully there will be a better option altogether.

Don't these phones have the chip that keep them from over charging? Or atleast the charger does.. I mean once they charge and you get that message it doesn't charge anymore does it?
Well i'll try the Silent Default and see if that helps... I pray it does

There was an article on another Android website (not avoiding giving the name, I just don't remember which one) that explained the battery charging process. They were examining why the battery will show 90% shortly after being removed from the charger. Basically the battery stops once it's at 100% and then allows the battery to drain back down to 90% before it charges back up again.

ok so i set my Notification to silent... I had my phone charging on normal profile. and it still beeped when the battery was fully charged...
would it have mattered if it would have been on silent ringer?
testing now***

Uploaded mod
OK, I uploaded the mod. It leaves the tone in for some reason, even though I nuked it. I'm still working on getting rid of it also, but this is a start. You will just have to silence the tone manually for now. Hopefully when I get back from the Dr I can find it if my head doesn't explode first.

Mesmerize Battery Charged...
I actually stumbled across this thread after I discovered how to disable the fully charged notification on a mesmerize facebook group! Open your phone dialer, and enter *#3844228# , when you hit the last pound sign, it'll bring up a check box to disable the notification. Hope this helps everyone!
Lol, now you can set your other notification options back to normal!
Oh, and btw, I've tested this, it works, it's not gonna screw up your phone.
CORRECTION: it DOES disable the notification box, however your phone will still beep when it is fully charged!

+1 for this working.

We had this posted in the actual mod the other day. Not really new news. I guess for those of you that are reading two posts for the same info, I'm still working on getting rid of the tone.

Disable Fully Charged Notification?

Is there currently a way to disable the fully charged battery notification?
At night my phone is plugged in to the charger and sitting on the nightstand right next to where I sleep. When it goes off that it's at 100% charge in the middle of the night it wakes me up thinking I have a text or something.

I too would like to know about this...

Going to get the phone in 2 weeks for my wife, and I know this would be really annoying. Used to have the notification on my Galaxy S2, but ROMs have fixed it. But anyway, one way that worked on the S2 was to have it rooted and rename the charged notification sound to something else. Maybe it'll work for this phone as well? Worth a shot

I have literally never heard this before. Maybe I disabled it somehow?
I see the little pop-up when I turn my screen on and its charged, but that's all.

Yeah, was originally there on my Epic also but a custom ROM fixed that.
The problem on the Photon is it uses whatever sound you have set as your notification tone (i.e for sms, email, etc), so if you replaced or set that to a dead sound, you'd also kill your notification tone.
Also, in addition to the tone, you also get a visible toast notification on the screen and it also powers the screen on and at least on my phone stays on at that point. Really irritating.
Hope someone finds a way to disable it soon.

Maybe try using lightflow, there is an option for fully charged, and you can set either a quieter tone, or none at all.

I'd be surprised if it worked, but giving it a shot right now.

Didn't work. Still got the standard system notification sound and the screen turned on with the toast notification that the battery was fully charged.

I've never heard this notification tone. When I first got the phone and saw what smart actions were I set it up to go silent at bed time and resume prior to waking up.
Since I only charge the phone overnight I've never noticed this.

I can't remember when I started getting this, maybe the last update? But mine seems to only pop up when I turn my screen on after being fully charged. I get my notification tone and the pop-up fully charged notification.
Throws me off too thinking I got a text or something.

....lightflow is good choice....it is better app for notifications
...and diode on phq has too much of colours

I don't understand... Did this happen after the update?
I've never heard the phone make any sort of noise when fully charged... ever.

Lightflow worked fine for me as far as changing the tone. Sorry it did not work out for you. Did you get the full version or the lite version?

Lite version. Did you simply change it to another tone, or somehow disable it?
Changing it to a different tone doesn't fix the issue, unless you change set it to a silent mp3/wav of some sorts, and then you still have to deal with the full charge toast message which turns the screen on (at least on my phone)

I changed it to a different tone from my texts. The toast comes up when I check the phone, but to my knowledge my screen does not come on of its own accord when fully charged. I also have the paid version of light flow, but that should not make a difference if you can access that particular function (fully charged alert or charge status or whatever it is labeled.)

Solution
I had this problem too, and posted over at the moto forums, until someone asked the question "are you using the cable that came with the phone?"
after all the flame posting died down, I decided to try it. looky, ma, that dope was right! I was using some other charger, and when I used the usb cable that came with it and the a/c block plug thing, amazingly, it doesn't wake up anymore when it gets 100% charged. go figure.

Hmm,... I'm using the Motorola adapter and cable that came with the phone,...but I am using a USB cable extender in between the two..
I'll try it without and see if it makes a difference.

[Q] Can I Prevent the Screen from Turning On When Starting/Completing Charging?

I hate this. Every time I plug the phone in or place it on the wireless charger, the screen comes on. When it hits 100%, the screen comes on again. This is completely unnecessary.
Does anyone know of a way to disable that?

Exposed could, but we know how that goes...

It's not available for the S6?

Nope

Bummer. It really helped with a lot of things on the S4. Is it in the works?

AFAIK, there's a working version for Lollipop. How compatible it is with the S6, I do not know.

just ignore it? The phone turns itself back off in 5 seconds.

Wow, yeah, you're right. Why would I take some little pet peeve about my phone and expect to find help from a community of people who dedicate their time to such things as removing the name of your carrier from your lock screen? Maybe we'd all be better off if we just sucked it up and lived with everything exactly the way the phone came out of the box.

I've worked around this in the past using Tasker and Screen Filter. Just set tasker to activate a fully black screen filter on top of your screen for a few seconds whenever the phones is sat on a wireless charger. Same thing when it's fully charged. Works great.

Not for everyone

I like to have the phone set to "screen always on when charging" so when i have it plugged in and am sort of using it, the screen won't time out on me. However, I don't need the screen on when it's not in "use". So with the phone set to screen always on when charging, it suchs that it awakes once 100% charged or when notifications come across and then stays on. This is exactly why all the customization mods are so beneficial. I don't wan't the screen to ever turn on, unless I initiate. Where can I choose that without a custom rom or mod of some sort, I don't think its possible. Anyone got a good option for me?

Pixel 3 screen flash

Didn't see this posted here yet, but forgive me if I missed it.
Trying to find out if anyone has seen or heard of any acknowledgement from Google regarding this. My new Pixel 3 (Verizon; non XL) since day 1 has had an annoying issue with the screen flashing when ambient screen engages. I have my settings with alwayson set to off, and new notifications set to on. If the screen is asleep and I get a text or any notification, the ambient screen wakes and will initially make the entire screen flash white very quickly.
I do not get a flash of the screen in any other scenario when the phones on, it only seems to be when the screens totally asleep and the ambient screen wakes. I can unlock the phone or hit the power button to fully wake the phone to my home screen with no flashing. Its not every single time, but its very often. I do notice sometimes when it doesn't flash the whole screen, the time or text on the ambient display will be at full brightness when it first wakes for a split second and then will go to the dim text Im used to seeing.
Replaced the phone through Verizon. Got another brand new one with the same exact problem. This one even flashes on reboot occasionally just before the white "Google" screen pops up. Google had me send them a bug report this time and are supposed to be having their dev team look at it.
WHY.

Mine did it once

I've also now noticed mine will flash in Instagram when I "like" something lol. Just the picture flashes within the app itself in that case, not the whole screen. Such a weird thing, that may have something to do with the app on the new pixel? I don't even know anymore.

I just saw the white flash. It was only for a few ms but it looked like a full brightness white flash on the whole screen. I had just set my phone down and I think the AOD was coming on.
Weird.

Yeah I have a feeling this is happening on way more devices than we're reading about. I hope it's addressed. Sometimes my notification audio cuts out real quick too. Hoping it's just all memory related.

I have this weird kind of screen flickering on my device as soon as I use the fingerprint area to turn the phone on. It is very faint and fast but its like static lines for half a second when the screen comes on??

Strange, I haven't had any issues like that using the fingerprint reader or just hitting the power button. Mine are all directly related to ambient screen waking.

My Pixel 3 is doing the same thing when I unlock it. Flashes like taking a selfie... I have even looked for the selfie to no avail.
It does not do this regularly, very random.

Report it to Google. I feel like it's something they're aware of (I hope) but support certainly isn't saying so if they are.

I saw a post on Android Police about bug trackers and read in some of the comments that people were having problem with screen flashing. Some of them said it was related to the always on display. Mine was flashing like white static lines. But it was only for half a second when you turn on the screen and it didnt happen every time, it was random. I turned off the AOD and it never happened again. Kinda sucks cause I like AOD. But that tells me it is a software problems and not hardware.

I turned off AOD too, for 1 day; the next day I turned AOD back on. I have not had a screen flash since (a few days now).

Try rebooting. I bet it's still happening you just may not be noticing. I've had my AOD off for a while and as soon as I turn the new notifications option it comes back. Not every time but still often.

I'm having the same issue, doesn't happen all the time but I can reproduce it usually by unlocking the device, locking it then when ambient display comes on, unlock it and the screen flashes/flickers. I've only managed to do it with ambient screen set to always on.
I've RMA'd this morning so I'll report back when the new phone comes.

I hope you RMA's for other reasons too because it is likely that you will get a phone with the same flickering problem. I think it is a software issue esp since it goes away after we turn off AOD.

I just find it strange that people are having the flicker in different scenarios, like mine is only when ambient is set to always on but other people are having the issue when it's set to double tap etc. Anyway I guess I'll see when the new phone comes.

Quick update. My new phone arrived this morning and I've managed to get the screen to flash once so far where as my old one would do it 8 times out of 10. I feel like this is a poor display hardware problem rather than software.

I believe or rather am hoping that because it only happens when you turn on AOD that it is a software issue and not a hardware one. The only way something will be done is enough people complain on a bug tracker.
