Turn off Fully Charged notification

I hate that notification because I use my phone for my alarm and it lights up in the middle of the night. Has anybody figured out a way to turn that notification off? I have looked and not found anything on the phone or in the forums.

If you can't find a way to suppress the notification, do what I do...turn the phone over. If you don't have the Body Glove case that lifts the screen off the furniture and are concerned about scratches, put it on a paper towel or similar item to protect it. I use a wash cloth.

would also like to know how to turn that stupid notification off - software based and not using a towel though

I don't know much yet but I was digging around in root explorer and if you go to /system/media there are a bunch of .qmg files for battery related stuff, and two of them are named chargingwarning.qmg and Disconnected.qmg. Could one of these be the file for the fully charged notification?

Probably not because the notifications are all text, and QMGs are the 3d files used at boot-up. Most likely those animations are used in the battery meter that is displayed when the phone is off (turn your phone off and plug it in).

This won't help with the light, but the sound can be fixed.

It is confirmed fix in the 2.2 release - at least the JI6 build we are all playing with. They moved it to the notification bar.

Bumpage!
Been a lurker but just recently got my Captivate. Great forum here! Looking forward to contribute as well.
Well my issue with the "Fully Charged" battery notification is the display will stay on for the entire night. When I wake up in the morning, I see the phone's display on with the notification. Is this normal? I think this was happening just recently but I can't remember. Shouldn't the display turn off after the set amount time of inactivity? Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Within the development settings, the option to never allow the phone to sleep while plugged into the usb was checked. I wonder why that was checked.

Ok, I THOUGH disabling that option would put the display to sleep when the notification comes on but it doesn't. =(
Is this normal behavior? The screen stays lit after the notification is on? The only reason why i'm concern is if I'm plugging it in night after night and it's on that particular screen for hours at a time, there might be some burn in issues.

Not likely. It's not a rear projection tv or a CRT monitor. Burn-in problems died with those.

Guess you haven't seen some of the demo Captivate at your local AT&T stores. Seeing the burned in images on those beautiful SAMOLED screen just kills a little bit of me.
In any case, so it's normal for the screen to take on after the message notification comes on?

None of the models I saw had burn-in at all. I got my phone on August 30th of this year. The phone had been on the shelves since July. But I would imagine it's normal for the screen to come on.

I got my phone only three weeks ago, so the phone sitting on display has probably been there a long time. And yeah, samoled screen can get burned in. well guess I'll have to charge it during the day time for now until I can figure out a way to disable the pop up.
Oh my worry is that the screen might be in the on state with the same image for hours while I sleep. That's something I can't leave to chance.

As long as you're not using a Samsung Dock or have the Stay Awake option checked off in settings, it won't stay on. I watch my phone every night. It usually finishes charging long before I ever go to sleep (case in point, it's 3:11am, and the phone was done around 1am) and the screen always times out and turns itself off. It doesn't come back on either.

Ok, yeah that's what I figured. Thanks for confirming it for me. I do have that option "not checked". Something might be preventing it to fall back asleep.
Is there any log within the file system which might keep track of system events? I might have to do a little digging around.
Thanks for your input.

I don't believe there's any logs, but you might have some luck installing logcat from the market and checking that after one night

Charged notification PROBLEM SOLVED !
PROBLEM SOLVED ! NO COST !
I saw this suggestion in another forum and it WORKS, so I'm passing it on !
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.

Where are these settings? I can't find them any where.

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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

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.

Emergency battery app, request

Hi, let me explain what i mean. Recently i had some bad luck (which i won't discuss). I needed to make a phone call but when i looked at my phone, the battery was drained out and there was no one around me in a couple of miles.
Would it be possible to make an app which would turn off the phone at let's say 7-10% of left over battery (making it act like it's down to 0%) so that the last couple of % could be used in emergencies. You would have found a shut down phone but you could still turn it on and you would have let's say 7% left over to help in your emergency.
I think this kind of app would be useful, it's a black scenario but wouldn't you hate to be in a really bad situation and your battery just went dead?
I have no knowledge on how to make such an app, so this is a request, if it's even possible...thanks

this is a great idea for an app... i'd like to see it give you the option of what % to shut down at as for almost anything i'd need to do 2% would be fine... I really hope someone picks this up

thanks for the support, i am also hoping...

good idea
but wat i suggest u is to turn off ur phone when it reaches 5 percent n use tht only in cases of emergency...
der is a application out in market which speaks out wen ur battery level reaches 5 percent
turn off then

that's not really a good option and complicates things, i'd have to always monitor the % and sometimes you just don't notice/hear the 5% battery warnings, sometimes you're not in the position to be able to mess with your phone, like work etc...

yea i understand...
hmmm hope some one comes up with tht application

Well using Tasker, you can make battery level one of the conditions for an action. I had a quick look through the actions but I couldn't find the shutdown command. Actually, there is a run script button. You could probably write a script to make the phone shut down.

That's a clever idea. I suppose to achieve a similar result you could use SetCPU as well as Tasker to work in tandem to reserve a bit of an "emergency charge". If I could code better I'd create an app like this. Perhaps now that the seasons are changing in North America I should start learning to code for Android.
Hoping that for the interim someone would develop an app like this though. I'd definitely use it! I hate when I'm in a pinch and my battery is dead... happens rarely, but seems to happen at the worst times!

it would seem so indeed

that's a good idea, a script (as far as i'm familiar with it) should only be a couple of lines at best, still hoping someone would come along who knows to code this stuff

my X10 usually turns off at 15% automatically and i cant figure out why! its so annoying though i would not recommend an app like this in my opinion, theres nothing worse than when your waiting for an important call or text and youve been working away at work (im a joiner so i dont have my phone out unless theres a valid reason) and you wonder why your call/text hasnt came through..ohh the phone died on 15% and you find the text came through 2 hours ago, very very annoying haha!

I always have a spare battery with me in a protected pouch on my belt. It's very slim so you cant notice it there and is not a problem.
For me that makes life a whole lot easier

you're right on that one, but lots of us don't have a spare battery

with this kind of app you could always turn the phone back on and use the remaining % of battery, or stop the shut down for that matter...i don't see it as a problem

Very cool. If you want to play it safe, download the StayAwake app from the Market. Doesn't give you the option back in the menus, but it allows you to choose in the app whether or not to keep the screen on when plugged in or not, or to keep the screen on all the time (don't know why you'd do that, the battery would be dead pretty fast).

I (and a few others) have already tried this, so if you don't want an extra app taking up memory - use this mod, it works great .

It's something that was previously there and was removed. He just added it back in. The reason a developer, or anyone, would want to do this is because while you have your phone plugged in to the USB cable and are working with it, your computer, and many other things at once, it gets annoying having to keep turning the screen back on and unlocking your phone.
As for killing your battery, if it's plugged in to the USB port and charging but still going dead, I believe you have a problem with your phone. While charging, you should never lose battery power..... that's why it's called charging.

The app has the option to keep the screen all the time, regardless of it being on the charger as well as just keeping it on while on the charger. What I meant is that if you have the screen on all the time and aren't charging the phone the battery is going to die in a pretty short amount of time. I really missed that option in FroYo, so I'll probably flash this when I have a chance to. Thanks to everyone, it's really nice to get this back in the OS options.

This is a handy thing for those who use there phone as an alarm clock. Screen stays on so when you wake up you just have to look at it to get the time vs. Looking for it an fumbling for the lock button when you half a sleep.

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.
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2

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.
