Hi, I've already activated the developer option which keeps the screen awake whilst charging, however this doesn't seem to include wireless charging.
Does anybody have a clue on how to have the screen awake whilst charging wireless?
Thanks

Can't answer your question, but remember that screen burn-in is a real issue with AMOLED screens. The demo models at my local T-Mobile store are already ruined after 2 weeks.
Hmm. That's good to know. Main issue is I use my phone as my bedside clock. Maybe I'll have to buy a proper alarm clock

Yeah, I would highly suggest going the $10 alarm clock route.

There are loads of apps in the play store that display the time, and keep it displayed (dimmed), moving it around the screen to avoid burn in.. I used Dock Clock (Night Clock) when I had a need for a bedside clock and it worked a treat. It's free and fairly customisable (there's a paid version - not sure of the differences as I only needed it for a few nights so used the freebie).

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.
I was using Nokia C7 previously, and what I specially loved about it was the clock that switched on with a low screen brightness when screen was locked. I am currently using HTC Desire, and it somewhat has an almost, I say almost, similiar feature - the desk clock. What I want is, and many more, that Android should also have a similiar app that can switch to a digital clock when the screen is locked, with wake lock feature, and minimal processor usage... I specially want this this since during nighttime reading, I find it irksome to even press a button on my phone. and it sould keep runing without needing touch input...
I need those posts xD
goto market and try this: DockClock, it works if youre phone is on power supply.

Buy a cheap digital clock on ebay ! ! ! :laugh:
The effect u desire to get is a glowing number plate on the screen of your phone, which would require the screen to be turned on for whole night, i don't think battery will love such relationships at night
Awesome idea

If you have an AMOLED screen, I'd read up on how they work.
Personally, I wouldn't want to waste my screen life with this, even if it might be minimal - just get a cheap digital clock and put some tint over it if it's still too bright.

+1 on this! ^ :good:
Oh come on guys, can't y'all do something that fits my description???????????? I love the desk clock on C7, and it doesn't drain the battery. With SetCPU, we can set profiles, and that's not gonna drain the battery. And what more do I need?? I run my battery for almost three days, because I've got normal usage according to me.
I hate this. Every time I plug the phone in or place it on the wireless charger, the screen comes on. When it hits 100%, the screen comes on again. This is completely unnecessary.
Does anyone know of a way to disable that?
Exposed could, but we know how that goes...
It's not available for the S6?
Nope
Bummer. It really helped with a lot of things on the S4. Is it in the works?

AFAIK, there's a working version for Lollipop. How compatible it is with the S6, I do not know.
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?
Coming from the Moto 360 Gen 1 I loved how the clock showed when docked, made a nice bedside clock. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to do this with the S2 is there? I have the screen set to "Always On" and it works great that way on my wrist, get over a days usage with that setting. As soon as I set it on the charger though the screen will time out and go black.
I'm guessing this is to prevent burn in perhaps? Which I'm actually a little concerned about with "Always On" on my wrist, but thats another topic.
So am I missing something or can you not use the Gear S2 as a night stand clock?
Yepp, so far there is no always-on setting for the charging station.
And yes, AMOLEDs can burn in, but this could easily be avoided by shifting the night clock from time to time (like a screen saver).
And no, don't worry about burn in when using always on while wearing. The S2 will show needles only and they also move a tiny bit every time.
OT: I gave up on always on as it really drowns the battery though (by 56-60% compared to off)

My "Always On" displays a digital clock, no needles... Maybe this is dependent on the watch face you have picked, I haven't tried changing the face with always on switched... well on.
For me it's worth the battery hit, it still easily lasts a day which is all i need
Alive
I found a way. Load the app “Alive“. Turn the switch on. Use a dark watchface (e.g. Simple dark gear), adjust the brightness. Enjoy
Here you see my bedside-clock, you also need "Alive" and put it over night in the charger - it's bright enough for a dark night
In 3 days in store as "OneNightStand"

Where? I can't find this app. Where do I find it?
Searching for "Nightstand" in store I get this 2 results: "NightStand" and "NightStand - 12h".
Another way: search for "Armin"
AND: If you want to use it all night long you have to activate the APP "I am Alive" !
search for "bedside" for night clock face
You can search for "bedside" as well for an analog clock that minimizes burn in. Bedside Night Table Charging watch face.

From what I understand, the watch should be able to be used as a nightstand with the always-on feature. My screen however always goes off and I can't seem to find a way to keep it on. Have I misunderstood something?
That's the way it works I'm afraid. Would be good if there was an option to have it stay on though.

Have you tried the AOD?
The AOD (always on display) setting does not work when the watch is placed in the charging dock. This appears to be by design.
