donno. I will talk with phidelt and i will see if it will.
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.

It doesn't seem like anyone else has had this issue but when I flashed this mod I could no longer access any of the settings menus they all would cause a FC upon opening. I restored a backup from before I flashed this mod and I could once again access settings.

did you guys base this off the mod adrynalyne did for the fascinate?
Really someone did this for the fascinate? I wish I knew that.

Had to edit the development slalom in the settings apk. I cussed the code from our 2.1 version to add it back in.

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.
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

Not even a running charge indicator, no notification light? I mean it was so awesome on the nexus one and most every other android device with some form of glowing indicator light...

I dont have a NS yet...I have been reading the boards and trying to decide if I want one but I have a Fascinate and since its been rooted and debinged its a good phone but stock it was crap. I use something called BLN to notify me when I have a text or email. It lights up your buttons at the bottom. Its in the market but I think your rom has to be made to use it..I'm not sure about that but you might want to investigate that...it works better than NoLED.
I have no led running now. It works. I have it set to blink So it flashes the TV off animation which is cool.
Honestly. If You already have a galaxy s phone don't bother with the ns. I had my n1 since the day it came out I needed a new phone. There are many things ivwill miss about it. Like the desktop doc.....
More threads about this? Really? Can we have a mod lock this please...

Best buy couldn't get my upgrade info so I paid full pop. Was on phone with t mobile and bestbuys system couldn't get it happening so I can still get another phone suplimented. Tried a mytouch 4g but returned it. So much t-mobile garbage on it plus gotta pay for wifi teather
BLN ftw, wait for a kernel that implements BackLightNotifications and then download Blinky which makes your softkey's blink ever few seconds when you get notifications.
So awesome. 3 out of 4 calls ended with the phone restarting
Sounds you guys are having even more trouble than Galaxy S phones, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I can deal with a dropped call but having the phone restart wtf.... I may un install everything and go from there adding one app at a time

Left hole (circle) is the proximity sensor. Right hole (oval kinda) is the ambient light sensor. Hope this helps.
Does this phone even have a led notification light? thats the dots next to the earpiece right?
I ask because on my phone, i never get any LED flashing notifications when i receive a text, email, miss phone call, or etc.
Ive searched all throughout my settings but to no avail.. help?
Thats not an LED. It doesnt have one! Search. Its been discussed over and over again
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.

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.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1470642
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.

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.

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!

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?
