Xoom battery notification icon? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may sound like a stupid question but its really aggravating me. I rebooted my xoom yesterday and when it started back up I now have a new icon next to my clock. Its a small green battery that when clicked it tells me the level temp and voltage of my battery. I don't need this icon nor do I remember ever getting it. I've been through all of my apps that could possibly have this setting and I can't find it. I don't even have a runnin process for a program that would have that notification. Can any one after any light on this situation, I'm I just over looking something? Help please

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.

[Q] Led notifications

I don't think we can ..... anyone know different? Maybe when there is the keyboard dock, does anyone have that yet?

Could try something like noled until confirmation on dock leds?
good call, but I'm hoping for real led, like what I have gotten used to on the desire. its probably won't matter as I can't put the thing down.

Little O/T but after switching from N1 to NS, the lack of LED notifications was a bit wierd. BUT noLED is great and I actually prefer it over the LED blinking now.

NoLED wouldn't be good for the Transformer. NoLED was designed around OLED devices, that can have most of the screen off, and only a few pixels on at a time, with very little battery drain.
An LCD on the other hand, would be fully on, and drain the battery like crazy.
I quite liked the vertically long LED on the Xoom. Not something I'll particularly miss, but it felt rather familiar.
This doesn't seem like much of a problem to me really. My N1 makes a noise/LED lights for a notification, I pick up the tablet and check it. I have a different notification tone for both text messages and general notifications, so this system works well for me.
Perhaps when the dock gets released, we can repurpose the caps lock LED to be a notifications LED... I'm not sure how well that would work, or even if it would be neccessary?

[Q] Battery status in settings really flaky

Is anyone else having mixed results with the battery status in the Android settings menu?
First off, it never shows which apps are using battery life.
Second, the bars that repesent when the screen is on or when the unit is charging is always "full", they never change... they worked when I first got the transformer. How or what cased this to break? Is there a way to fix it?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I don't get the app battery usage either but the bars for screen on/off, wifi on/off etc do work on mine. It is about 4 days old and has the latest firmware.
I have the same problem.
When I had a Xoom, this feature worked properly...

Is something wrong with my Nexus S?

I just got this thing yesterday, so I'm not sure if it's a defect or supposed to be like this, but:
1) When I plug my phone in, no light comes on to confirm that the phone is plugged in. (Usually on every other phone I've had, as soon as I plugged it in, a small green light comes on to let me know it's plugged in.)
2) When I get a text, e-mail or missed call, again, no light comes on.
(Usually a green light would blink constantly until I check it.)
That's about it.
Can anyone please confirm how it should be?
1. There is no Notification LED. So no lights can be lit. The way to check is to plug it in, and on the top status bar, if the battery animation is going.. it's charging. This is Android 101.
2. Same thing as #1
-- A way around this, if you REALLY want it is to root and to flash a custom kernel that supports BackLight Notification (BLN), most (if not all kernels) have this feature. Out of all of them, I'd recommend using Netarchy's kernel.
There is nothing wrong. Nexus S does not have an LED light.

Thanks my friends.
Yes, I will now root and flash kernel/roms.
I just didn't want to go through the trouble of rooting/flashing if the device itself was bad. I feel much better now. Thanks.

The device isn't bad. Its meant to be rooted and hacked from the beginning. Its a dev phone.

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...
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
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.
