[Q] Turn device on by plugging the charger - Android General

I have several Android devices and I'd like to customize them.
Normal reaction of there devices when they're off and the charger is plugged is showing battery indicator.
How to replace this reaction by any other reaction? The simplest idea is automated booting operating system.

All i know is,there is no mod or app for this. Of curse when your phone is off.

But a screen with battery indicator is shown.

This is on framework.res.apk. in few words is a dangerous part of a system.

I'd like to backup the entire flash memory of Android device, change anything I want to change and restore from backup if something goes wrong.
Too bad it's impossible

At least LG P700 has got this indicator.
Even Nokia X3-02 has such indicator so the same question would ideally apply to Nokia as well.

Ι mean to change it of curse(when phone is off). Every phone had this indicator.

If some app "charging indicator" is loaded it must be possible to replace it by any other app.
I don't know about every device but I have at least two examples at home.

What about this app?

small battery inside the trackball area

I was opening my bricked G1 to solder the jtag and manually solder wires for the USB serial cable, then I notice there is an small battery inside the trackball area. I can assume sometime will be used for the SD Card interface somehow, but I want to be sure someone here is familiar with that… I did not search to much inside it, because first I want to unbrick mi phone, but later today I will see if I can figured out what where is connected..….
did somebody knows about it??
Pretty sure that is just the battery for the clock etc.
Do you think somehow this battery it’s used for memory retention (Volatile), in somehow if we remove battery will set up to default some information that possibly will help to unbrick the phone?? I’m just thinking if this battery is supplying voltage to a memory that retains information about SPL, Radio etc that can be easily reset.. I know the main MCU and Memory are flash but I’m just guessing.. thanks
Well,the Wii has a clock battery and when its removed,the Wii resets most settings....you could try it,but its most likely just for the clock.

Interesting thought.... the possibility exists that bootmode3 flag is stored in volatile memory?
Crazy idea:
We know that the battery is not on the mainboard. Try disconnecting it overnight (along with the main battery of course), and booting with camera held (force fastboot mode).
Note: I *really* doubt that this will work....
Nah its just for the clock. Like inside a pc keeps the bios info, date, and time.

Right, though as you say, for a PC, BIOS INFO. And yes, the boot mode 3 flag would be equivalent to that bios info.
So what ended up happening with this? Did it work or not so much?

Anyway to remove the stock 'startup' sound and images?

When you are starting up the Droid Charge, it does it's animated thing and makes the 'droid sound'.. this is very annoying when you are in a quiet place and need to reboot your phone... anyway to disable this startup noises?
also, when the phone is charging and hits 100% charge, there is a notification sound... this often goes off in the middle of the night while sleeping and I have keep the phone plugged in overnight... so this 100% charge notification often wakes me up.. anyway to disable this sound?
thanks all!
P.S. - I read through the above posts in this forum, I could not find these issues talked about..

Android Development is not for Questions or Problems
Please Post in the Correct Forums
sorry I thought you could post questions for developers here...
are you able to move this to the general forum for me so I don't create yet another new post there then get flamed for creating duplicate posts in two forums..
Also the phone fully charged chime that wakes me up at night.

If your phone is on silent, the animation will still play, but without sound. If you don't want to put your phone into silent to reboot, the other option is to remove the files /system/etc/PowerOn.wav and /system/etc/PowerOn.snd (although I think only the .wav plays)

This can be fixed then so you don't get the sound or popup notification
how do you fix the fully charged sound?
my phone will NOT let me edit, delete or rename those sound files... so how do you just delete them like you say?

you need r/w access...if you are using a root file explorer on your phone, select that option....in adb just mount as r/w

You have to edit a few of the framework files. I know it can be done because the Fascinate has the same thing. We just need to find the appropriate edit(s) and implement them.
I just have the file explore that came preinstalled on the phone.. what other software would I need to gain this access?

Here is how you would do it via adb:
Code:

adb shell rm /system/etc/PowerOn.wav
adb shell rm /system/etc/PowerOn.snd
adb reboot

if you dont want to use a terminal...then root explorer (like $5 in market) is an invaluable tool for root users...that and titanium backup are must buys imo
but i think there are other free su ones too, just dont know them off hand
how do you use the adb terminal?
and for titanium backup.. what does that allow you to backup/restore?

you need to install the android sdk on your computer....vital for all root users anyway
tibu allows you to back up your apps with app data...also vital for rom flashers
okay is there a step by step walkthrough available online about using all this sdk, where to download from, etc.?

[Q] App for scheduled shutdown / boot of android phone?

Hey,
I'm looking for an app with which I can set schedules for my to shutdown and boot up. E.g. shutdown at 2100 boot at 0700, etc..
All I could find so far is this very dated article:
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/make-android-phone-boot-certain-time-33501.html
and I couldn't find any of the apps mentioned there...
So is this even possible, does someone know any apps?
TIA
PS:
I'm on rooted Sony Xperia Z3 Compact on Kitkat 4.4.4. with fw 5.77.

Shutting down... easy peasy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.specsoft.shutdowntimertrial&hl=en
Booting up... eh... simplified: You must have low level support (like kernel low) and it is just too much trouble setting up. You could however try to set up an alarm because on some phones alarms turn on the phone if it is off. Additionally you can set the alarm to a silent ringtone so it doesn't wake you up.

This one doesn't feature a real schedule, you would have to set it up each day again...

Hmm, thats really a pitty and a serious regression over "not-so-smart-phones".
Also why? I even believe my former desktop pc (from 2001) was able to set up times in the bios when to start...

Well, Android does have this feature, I have it on my old phone. You can set up a schedule to turn off and on the phone.
The BIOS in a PC is easly accessible, unlike on Android. the BIOS would be the kernel and the bootloader and you don't have easy GUI acess to them like you have on a computer BIOS. The kernel is the only thing running while the phone is off and if it doesn't have a feature of powering the phone on at a specefic time / event it is not going to happend.

Can't help you there.
You can probably use Tasker to set times to toggle Airplane mode and/or power saving mode. It won't be off, obviously, but it'll be the nearest thing to it.

Mobile Data Turned Off Notification

So today my Samsung-SM-G950U had a software update that now doesn't allow you to remove the "Mobile Data Turned Off" notification but instead lets you silence it up to 2 hours. I used to be able to simply restart the phone and it was gone until I used it again and then I would simply restart but this option has been removed. Is there any way to remove it permanently?

AT&T phone, data works, turning off intentionally. I don't have a huge data plan so I turn off the data unless needed. Used to be able to simply restart the phone and the notification that data was off would disappear, now it stays in the notification bar.
