[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 :\

battery icon says charging but not plugged in

hey im running on stock and have had no problems up until a couple of days ago where the battery icon on my G2x shows that its charging but i dont have it plugged in at all. what bothers me the most is that my phone wakes up randomly as if it has been plugged to the charger. Anyone else have this issue? i havent heard of a problem like this happening to anyone else. Any ideas? oh and yes i did a complete wipe of everything but the problem is still there.

Just had this happen twice yesterday, but even worse off. The charging state toggles about every half second. When I try to turn the screen off it will pop back on and the "Charging (XX%)" will flash on and off on the lockscreen, keeping the screen on. It stopped about 30 seconds into the madness both times. I'm not too worried about it. I'll exchange the phone if it becomes an issue. Kinda curious what it is though.

I am facing exactly the same problem as quoted above. Got my G2X day before yesterday and this problem starts to happen as soon as (and every time) the battery comes down to 70%. It does not happen when the battery is full. I am on Android version 2.2.2. Haven't been able to upgrade yet. Did you guys try upgrading to gingerbread? Does that solve the problem?
I have a strong feeling that it is a software problem, not a hardware one. What do you think?

I dont have the same phones as u guys, but my problem is the same, it thinks its charging but i dont have it plugged in. I'm sure its a software issue, rebooting, removing battery, hard resets dont work. did any of u guys solve the problem, if so, any clues as to what the issue was that i can look into?

Did it get wet?? I had this problem a while back when I wiped my phone off with a damp towel. Some water had got on the connector at the bottom. I just pulled the battery and got some canned air and got it out. Haven't had that problem since

not 100% but might be your kernel. so if your rooted try a different kernel

No never heard of that. Will observe if my phone did that later

My Palm Pixi always did the same thing, when I plugged it in with a dead battery.

One of my previous Evos did that. The screen would freeze completely and flicker - if sound was playing it would continue on whatever note was playing when it froze. It started doing this about once a day, then it did it all the time. It would freeze on the splashscreen so it would take 15-20 attempts to get it to boot fully, and then only run for about 15 minutes before it would do it again. Sometimes when it finally booted it would say that the battery was at 0% despite a full charge. I then started to notice that if I put it on the charger while it was off, it would turn on as soon as I took it off.
The phone wasn't rooted - it was a replacement I had just gotten - so I couldn't try flashing anything.
The techs at the Sprint store couldn't tell me what was wrong with it. If yours continues to get worse then I'd take it in for a replacement.

Sounds almost like mine, Except mine turns on when I'm plugging it in... I recently tried a new phone charger and it Still did it just Not as much so its kind of hard to determine if its actually the phone itself, or the Cheap chargers that I have?
Also Anyone know what Car mode is? It's been Enabling itself Without me actually physically doing it myself, and when I turn it off its right back on very next Reboot!
Oh yeah by the way...
Thanx for Everyones input!

[Q] Tablet? Oh, you mean my paperweight?

Hello friends. Having lots of issues with my tablet.
A while ago i noticed that my tablet was running a bit sluggish, and the brightness of the screen was flickering when on auto-brightness. I didn't think anything of it, but the next morning when I unplugged it after it was charging all night, it was at 30% after a few minutes. Every time I plugged it in it would say "charged", but a few seconds after I unplugged it it would go back to 30%. It's gotten to the point where I can't use it because it won't turn on. It's plugged in, but I press the power button and the screen lights up for a half second and then dies (i'm assuming).
I've tried other cables, etc, anyone have any ideas? I haven't been able to use my tablet the past 2 days because of this.

Sounds like it's time to RMA...

Was afraid of this...Kinda was hoping it would be a software issue
Think they'll care if I rooted it?

Rooting it would not cause this and I'd get in to a massive argument with anyone that claimed otherwise.

Mine also was having the same issue. I searched high and low for a fix and finally came across a thread here on XDA that suggested deleting a corrupted jpg image that is created by the default camera 'Camera Awesome'. The corrupt jpg image sends the media scanner into an endless loop that taxes the CPU nonstop. The folder location is Android/data/com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome. I would delete any subfolders also. Hope this does the trick for you. Another tip is to stop the Blake_wakelock wakelock created by the Shield Wireless Controller which drains your Wi-Fi continually. Download the 'Disable Service' app from the google play store and once it is installed scroll over to the system apps and long click the 'SHIELD Wireless Controller Service'. From there you can disable the 'BlakeManagerService'. You can always turn it back on if and when you need to use it but that will stop your wakelocks for now. Hope everything works out for you. I was having the same trouble as you but was determined to figure it out as I did not want to send mine back cause it is my first tablet and has a lot of potential. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the problem is I can't get it to turn on at all. Oh well, my replacement has already shipped and gets here Monday

Mine as well
Mine was working fine for 4 days. Set it down then went to power on to read book and nothing. I take it I have no recourse but to call Newegg and RMA?

[Q] Randomly Powering itself off? Battery issue?

So I've had my 16gb Tablet for a few days. Upon first power up, I ran through all the updates, including 5.0. When all the updates were done, I did a complete reset of the system to get Lollipop nice and fresh.
I've noticed that a few days ago, I left the tablet on my nightstand at about 50%, the next afternoon it was completely dead. I didn't think much of it, thinking maybe a program went crazy and sucked it dry. It happens.
Yesterday I left it on my bed at 64%, a few hours later I went to use it and it was powered off. At least I thought it was powered off. I'm noticing this unit might have bad buttons, as they are really squishy and don't have a lot of feedback for the up volume and power. So after pressing the crap out of the power button, it seemed to power back up. It greeted me to showing about 60% battery. Ok, that was weird, but not the end of the world. I plug it in to charge to 1005%.
Last night, I unplugged it at 100% and left it on my computer desk. Just now (next morning) I went to flip open the cover and it wouldn't turn on. I try hitting power and nothing. I hold the power down for about 20 seconds and it finally powers on. It boots up to 48% battery. Now keep in mind that I didn't do anything to it last night when I unplugged it. As a matter of fact, I didn't open apps, but I made sure I swiped all open cards away so nothing was running.
Sorry for the long post, but I want all the details here.
A couple questions:
Anyone else having random sleep issues where it won't wake up? I thought a lot was resolved going to lollipop?
Anyone have issues with soft sloppy buttons with no travel or click on the side? This is my second unit and I thought the first one had better buttons..

I'm having the same issue. Once it goes to sleep, sometimes it randomly just shuts down on its own. When I leave it on overnight, it's almost guaranteed to be off in the morning. Since I've come to work today, it's already automatically shut down twice. What the heck is going on?

It was the first thing I checked, and yes, it's disabled. I did a reset of my device yesterday and I've only had one random shutdown thus far. Not ideal, but still an improvement....

You need RMA, Please read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56907689
Same story for me, tablet was defective, battery drain even in airplane mode with no application installed. If your tablet do this, don't lose time and change it.

I've just purchased one and it's happening exactly the same, it happens constantly, also the battery drain is considerable.
I'm in Lollipop, and I've already done a coupe of factory reset.
Does anyone know if this can be repaired somehow? Or I'll have to return it...
Thanks!

Never requested a RMA to NVIDIA, are they fast? I've bought the tablet in Amazon, I have doubts yo who should I request it.
Thanks

So you should request amazon, unless Nvidia offer you a direct replacement in their forums.

Quick question. Does everyone here experiencing shutdowns have a case with an auto wake/sleep feature?

I too have this issue. Auto off is disabled.
I tried going back to gingerbread and the power issue is non-existent. Once I do all the updates to Lollipop the issue returns. Think it's an issue with the rom, since gingerbread works flawlessly.

I have both a skin and one with auto wake and my k1 has been shutting down on its own even with just tye skin on it.
