Stock S6 (T-Mobile, 64GB, White). I have two different QI chargers (one is the TYLT Vu Wireless Charger (Qi) and the other is a CHOE stadium). The phone charges fine with both chargers, but the screen keeps turning on while charging and I can't seem to find a setting to disable this.
As soon as I put it on the charger, the screen turns on, so I hit the power button. Usually it turns back on within 5 seconds, so I hit the power button again. It will then stay off for a while, but if I wake up in the middle of the night the screen is back on again. Any ideas what is causing this?
I have noticed that the screen tends to turn on when I get a notification or when the "searching for GPS" pops up on the lock screen, but in both cases the display will dim but it will not turn all the way off.
Edit - forgot to mention that I get the same results regardless of whether or not the phone is in a case.
I got the same thing with portable battery packs... very annoying.
Also mine keeps getting off and on all the time.
Strange - my screen turns off fine if it's plugged charging via USB. It's only wireless charging that has issues on mine.
The screen always wakes up when it starts or stops charging. Do you have the developer option turned on to leave the scree on when charging? If so, when it wakes up at the end of charging, it will never turn back off. If you don't have this option enabled, then I don't have a good reason.
Thank you thank you! I just enabled developer options (after accidentally finding Flappy Android) and the "keep screen on while charging" option was turned on by default. Doing a test charge now, but it appears as if the screen is staying off.
Awesome!

I entered a swimming pool with my OPO in my pocket. I immediately went and bought some rice. I wasn't able to open the back completely because I didn't have the tools to remove the SIM tray.
After a few days, I tried booting it and it showed a message that the battery was too low (pic) and then it would keep rebooting itself.
I thought that the battery was messed up, so I replaced it. Now it turns out that everything works perfectly fine (screen, speakers, camera), but the new battery (and maybe even the old one) does not seem to be charging. What's even more weird is that it will only show me that it is charged 50%.
The phone seems to recognize that it is connected to a power outlet. When turned off, I can click the Power-button once and see that it is "charging" and at 50%. When turned on, it does not appear anywhere that it is charging. No notification light, nothing on the status bar, and "50% - Not charging" in Settings>Battery (when plugged in) and "50% - approx. 12 hours" (when not plugged in). Also, in Settings>Battery>Battery optimization it says that "battery optimization not available" for Google Play Services.
I have obviously plugged the battery connector back in when I replaced the battery, but I don't know if I need to replace the Micro USB Port or not. It seems like it is recognizing when it is plugged in, but it's simply not charging.
What do you think I should do? Thank you!
Phone is off, plugged in to charger, battery is out - and when I click on the power-button it still tells me that it's charging and on 50%!?
everytime i attempt to charge the phone the screen wakes up, is there a option to turn this off at all?
gets annoying after a while.
In Developer Options turn this command off. Stay Awake.
I think he means that when he bugs the phone in or puts it on a wireless charger the lock screen lights up.
I'd be interested if there was an answer as well.

yeah when i plug the charger in the screen turns on and i have to press the side button to turn off the screen again, gets irritating after a while especially when you have a app open.
i'll try that dev option and see if that changes anything.

Can't it simply do what previous Samsung phones did before? You plug in the charger it makes a sound that it's charging and that's it? What purpose would benefit anyone by waking the screen when the phone has started charging anyway? All it does is irritate the user as they have to keep pressing the side button each time the phone is left to charge.
It seems the only way to disable this is yet again root and there doesn't seem to be any other way, not even a app at least..
???
Waking the screen while charging each time is dam meaningless.
The screen should time out and turn back off or am I missing something?
No, you are not missing anything. I agree, there is no reason for the screen to come on upon starting to charge as you have an led that tells you that. It is just ANNOYING!
Yes this is annoying and I am still looking for a way to disable it. Not only does the screen turn on when I place my S8 in the cradle, when the screen timeout kicks in, the screen wakes again when the wireless charging does its animation of how much percentage is left.
Try "All My..." it contains no wake on charge. If you use wireless charging then I would reconomend using a charger limiter like "Battery Charge Limit [ROOT]" to minimize heat.
I'm using my tablet as a car navigation device. I may leave my car parked for up to a week sometimes.
Ideally, I'd like to turn the device off when I stop my car (cable unplugged or screen off) and then turn the device on when I start my car (cable plug in, screen on). Since it takes a while to boot up (and I don't know how to autoboot when the cable is plugged in on a LG g pad 8.0), I don't want to actually turn off the tablet.
Therefore, I have installed "Automate" to enable airplane mode when screen is off and turn off airplane mode when screen is on. I also have Greenify and enabled Aggressive Doze. However, even doing this, I notice that while the screen is off, the phone will still come out of doze periodically. Also eventhough airplane mode is on, Gsam Battery stats show the phone radio is on the entire time (but not data).
Is there a way to force it to doze and not wake up until I tell it to?
Also, for some reason, as it keeps going into airplane mode and back out, I will get a message saying the sim card has been removed and it will force me to reboot. If I don't go into airplane mode at all, I dont get the message. It's only from switching it on and off.
My tablet seems to have a weird behavior.
I just installed KatKiss 6.0.1 and it works perfectly but this weird behavior still continue:
When I plug the tablet only (no Dock attached) on the wall outlet the screen turns off directly. I can try to use the button on the side as many times as I want, it does not come back to life. The screen only comes back when I unplug it.
If I hit the sleep (or power) button without charging it, it comes off and on: normal behavior.
If I put the tablet in sleep mode, then plug it into the wall, once again it becomes impossible to wake it up, the screen stays off.
With the USB cable plugged into the computer no problem to go back and forth in sleep mode: normal behavior.
With the dock/keyboard attached and charging it to the wall outlet (this time the plug goes into the dock itself), it comes off and on: normal behavior.
Tests already made:
- Battery saver is off
- In Developer Options I tried the "Stay Awake" option, no effect. As soon as I plug it, the screen turns off anyway, and impossible to turn it on without unplug it
Any Ideas?
Today's tests:
- When I set up for example a lockscreen with a pin number:
I plug the tablet to the wall outlet, the screen goes off, then I hit the power button, the lockscreen comes back, I enter the pin, and just when the TF700 opens, it goes off again... and it's impossible to turn it one again, except by removing the outlet plug connector
- I removed the plug from the wall outlet and just insert the connector inside, it turns off! So even if the charger is not connected to the wall, the connector is sufficient to create this annoying bug... I don't understand why it does not happen with the USB one...
My phone's battery has been bad for a while now, and its just been sitting in a desk for about a year. I replaced the battery since my sister wanted to use it and upon turning on the phone again, I am getting screen feedback but only in the form of a black screen. I don't see any bootup screens, even if I try to go into recovery mode. Once again, the screen still lights up black if I do things like plug in the charger or press the power button. I've reseated the display cable and battery cable but to no avail. HiSuite recognizes that it's plugged in (although I can't do anything because HDB is disabled). Anyone have any ideas on why the screen is dead?
Make sure all connections are firmly connected.
