[Q] Point of irritation, any way to time the screen out after the battery charges?

Does anyone know of a way to get the screen to shut off after the battery recharges? A popup box tells me to unplug the cable and the screen stays on until I hit ok. This irritates me to no end as I always charge my phone at night, so the screen stays on for hours. Any way to disabled the popup box our force the screen to time out?

I was just thinking about this, and I think I will use Tasker to turn off the screen when that happens.

I would also like to know the answer to this. That pop up is irritating in general.

Your screen doesn't turn off after? Mine always has shut off after about 2 seconds.

Same here, mine always turns off after that pop up.

Mine doesnt turn off either its annoying as hell and lights up my entire room. How can you manage this with tasker?

For other reasons, I prefer the option to leave the screen on while it's plugged in. So it doesn't shut back off once the popup happens.

Mine always shuts off after a period too. Do you have the setting on to stay awake when plugged in? Simple solution is to put your phone upside down when going to bed. I have to block LEDs on my computer, and its charger to sleep. My bigger annoyance was the sound it makes. I finally figured out that the System Sound controls that volume.

There is no solution to this. From what I read, Samsung changed it in Froyo build and put this notification on notification bar instead.
If you don't like it lights up in the middle of night, why you keep the phone wake while plugged in?

This is what I've resorted to as well, it's not perfect, but like you say, its really annoying to have it light up the entire bedroom at night. Fingers crossed its fixed in 2.2 like someone said.

In Settings >> Applications >> Development there's a setting named "Stay awake while charging" or something like that.
Does anyone with this problem, by any chance, have that checked?

Mine doesnt do that. The message pops up that the battery is charged and to disconnect the cable, but my screen doesnt stay on. Every morning when I get up my screen is off. As soon as I hit the power button the screen wakes up and I see the fully charged message is still there so I then hit ok, but my screen is never "On" when I first wake up each morning.

It turned out to be a problem with the AT&T JH7 update for me, actually. The screen would stay on regardless of whether that was checked or not (it actually re-checked itself as soon as I left the menu in JH7). Flashed back to JF6 and all is right with the world again. Thanks for reminding me about that option though, I was beginning to think it was some touchjizz quirk.

No such problem here with JH7.

Strange, I wonder why some people's stay on while some do not. If it were a "Stay awake while charging" option issue, then the phone wouldn't have shut off the screen in the first place when you first insert the cable.
What version of firmware are you guys having this issue using?
I'm on stock. Sometimes I actually miss when it's fully charged for an hour or two because it shuts off the screen after a few seconds.

Why not charge it with it off?

There are various reasons you may not want the screen to automatically turn off while it's charging. I would rather just manually click the power button if it's plugged in. I never rely on it auto sleeping the screen anyway. I just leave it charging overnight while I sleep so it turns on the screen when it's full and doesn't shut off.

Mine was one of the updates that "failed", but said it was running JH7 after reboot anyway. It actually worked well with noticeable improvements in GPS performance; apparently that screen problem was some side effect though. Who knows :\

Warning from my experience

I just experience a brick issue with the Atrix 2, Went to setup a pattern screen lock, after setting one up, turned my screen off and then back on, no pattern showed up. Went into the menu again to double check a pattern was setup for the screen lock, and there was. Shut down my phone and tried to turn it back on, ever since then, the phone never turned back on, any ideas? Just purchased the phone last friday. I know i can get an exchange.

Try pulling the battery out for a couple of minutes and then restarting it. Sorta like a hard reset. If that doesnt work take it back and replace it.

I just tried this. For some reason after setting the pattern and turning the screen off I still got the standard lock screen. After rebooting the phone I now have both the slider and then the pattern. Your phone must have took a dump right then.

I think theres definitely some bugs there. First showed pattern unlock for me, then slide unlock then pattern again O.O

Yea there are a few bugs with this device, thats forsure. Just going to have to wait for a patch or somethin or OTA update.
I did get the phone to work. Apparently if your battery is at 5% and you shut your phone off, you cant turn it back on until you plug it into charge and wait for about 3 mins. Thats what I experienced. which i believe is non sense.
Heres how I found this out.
As we all know I stated that I thought my phone was bricked after setting up the pattern unlock. It wasn't the case.
1) Decided to plug in the phone and just leave it on charge
2) About 3 minutes later the phone powered on by itself while plugged in
3) Decided I would take it off charge and reboot my phone again, phone didnt power on even though I had a 5% charge left.
4) Just plugged the phone back up to charge waited to reach 10%.
5) Unplugged the charger from the phone after reaching 10%, decided to reboot the phone on battery power, reboot was successful.
Apparently if your phone is at 5% charge and you shut your phone off , you cant turn it back on until you put it back on charge. Atleast thats what my phone does.

I had that issue with my Sony Ericsson X10A too on android 2.1. My Atrix 2 does the same thing too. It doesnt make any sense to have a lock slide and a unlock pattern show up after that.

I think that is a failsafe in the firmware. Booting with 5% or less battery could cause damage is it dies mid boot, so the firmware on the phone will not start the boot until the battery has more juice. Booting is a very resource hungry operation, so booting with low battery is not a good idea.

wont turn on unless its plugged in

hey guys i just got my transformer today. a couple of times i shut it off and when i try to turn it back on it wont work unless i plug it in, even though the battery is above 90%

I have a very similar issue.
I have the B40 model, when I shut down, I can't turn back on. I have been leaving my TF on all day then just shut down at night and when I come to turn on in the morning, iit is fine. Today I had to restart due to wifi constantly saying it was turning off for no reason, upon shutting down, it wouldn't power back up. I hav left it for approx 1 and a half hours, still nothing. Doesn't make any difference if it is plugged in or not. My battery is full.
Really could do with some help with this issue, as it is really spoiling what I regard as a brilliant device.

Once you plug it in and it come on, does it stay on when you take the charger off?
Once on and you hit the power button does it do anything?
You might have a faulty power button IMO.

I don't know about Krueger, but mine doesn't do anything when you plug it in. I have to wait a few hours. When I last shutdown, I was trying to restart, it just never did. I had full charge. I can't even get into APX mode. My TF is stock unrooted. Power button works just fine when tablet is on, does exactly as it should.

I've seen reports of peoples getting this "deep sleep" and not able to turn it on easily. Not sure if there's a definite fix or not. Some peoples say they have good luck turning of the lock screen, some say they fixed it by factory resetting the tablet.

Cheers m8.
I will give this a try when I can turn it back on again. Its been approx 6 hrs now since I tried to restart it. I will have to wait till morning I think. When it has done it previously, I have left it on charge all night, even though there was more than half in it each time, and it seems to start up after about 7 - 10 seconds of holding the power button in.
Thanks again

So I have spent 15 mins listening to the back of the device while trying toturn on. From what I can hear it sounds like a quiet jet engine firing up for approx 1-1 and a quarter seconds then sounds like the jet engine turning off (I know this sounds wierd, but best way I can describe). Its almost like there isnt enough power to fire it all the way up. There also other noises going on even when I dont try and turn it on, so I don't think it is fully turned of. Maybe a deep sleep issue. I did notice on this occassion, befor I tried to restart that I had no internet connection and when I went to check wifi settings it said Wifi is turning off. I leave it set to default.
Thanks

Z3 turns off while charging

Hey, just bought a new Z3, and I plug it in, at night before I go to sleep. In the morning after not waking up in time since the alarm clock didnt work, I was surprised to fins out that the phone is off, it has the black screen with the loadimg icon in the middle. Holding the power key turns it on normally. Heppened like 3 times now. When it is charging, but I use it for like a few hours nothing heppenes, its not turning off when I use it. And all kind of stamina and battery life savers are off. Dont have a fishy app or anything either.
Hopefully u couls help me with that.

Phone not turning on

I have an old lg d380 dual sim card phone, i've been trying to fix it but i cant seem to find the solution. The problem is that it wont turn on no matter what, when i do try turning it on but it keeps doing a long vibrate over and over again and the screen wont even turn on (completely off), it wont stop until i removed the battery. And also, when i try charging it, the screen wont turn on too. It charges but it doesnt show the logo that shows that its charging. The only time it does turn on is when i charged the pgone without battery but thats it. So can anyone help me?
P.S : before it turns on for the last time it said something in a purple screen. I think its something about demigod or something.
