Keep Screen off when plugging in charger - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Is there a way without ROOT to Keep Screen off when plugging in charger? My wifes s7edge turns on when its plugged in or put on the wireless charger and then the screen goes off and only lights up once when its done charging... On my Note 8 I noticed at night that my screen keeps lighting up every 3-5 minutes or so telling me the battery is at 100% So annoying!!! Why do they not have an option without root to keep the screen off so its not flashing on and off every night?!?! Anybody know a trick or a setting I'm missing? Is it the fast charging option? Haven't tried turning that off yet... Small but annoying problem...

Seems like when I turn off wired and wireless FAST charging it eliminates this problem!!! YAY, who needs fast charging going all night right?! So just enable and disable as needed in device management, battery, menu advanced settings and toggle as needed if this is an annoyance to you!:good:

Screen Issue

Hi ,
I have a small issue with my sensation
when i plug the phone into the charger it turn my screen on ...
and if i forget to turn off the screen , it wont turn it off as if it was not charging
and that means the phone will be very hot after few hours of charging..
the same is when the car charger
btw the option that the screen will stay awake while charging is turned off on my phone
thats why i don't understand why it wont turn off the screen.. :\
thanks
Fixed - with the help of S-Off
Hmm, that's interesting. I thought for sure that it would have been that option. Did u try turning that option off then rebooting the phone to see if it stuck, to see if its still turned off.

Yep i tried that the first day i noticed the issue..
still no luck.. :\
hm... weird. Mine certainly will turn the screen off itself.
I used to select "stay awake while charging" on my other Android phone. When I first got the Sensation, I forgot to turn that option existed and thought that was a standard Android feature. I was so annoyed that it turned the screen off automatically when charging, only remembered later that this option exists....
Just remember to stay by your phone when you're charging! I was out of the house and I left my Sensation plugged in. One of my friends gave me a call and hung up. Since the screen was set to always on when charging, the phone was hot by the time I got back!
at least now i fix the issue..
I got S-Off on the phone, and got a new ROM on it.. and now everything as it should.. =]
No screen issue for me.

[Q] Help!! [Solved]

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have an Idea what fast blinking amber light means on DS?
My battery was low around 2% and I connected it to the stock charger and started watching a movie, after 10 mins or so my phone switched off and amber colored light started to flash, I am not able to switch it on now and after 30 mins or so even the blinking light went off.
Had Aplha CM10 ROM flashed and was working normally till now keeping my fingers crossed that it is not bricked. Please tell me it is not:crying:
EDIT:
Solved: Finally revived my phone by directly charging the battery from the USB port of my laptop. Seems the battery went too flat to charge itself in the phone.

Did it start charging when you connected the charger? when the desire S has no battery at all, and you connect the power, the light blinks, meaning that it hasn't got enough power to boot
So just make sure the charger works and leave it charging for a couple of minutes untill you get the classic charging LED on, and then try to boot again

Thanks TataoValverde, so I guess it is not bricked. I had left the phone connected to the charger overnight but still it doesn't boot so it means it is not charging. Now nothing happens not even blinking light
So is there anyway i can revive it??
Make sure the battery is making connection - use a piece of paper to hold it firmly in place if necessary.
Try a different charger - any USB one should be fine.
Or buy a new battery as its much cheaper than a new phone.
If the charging circuitry on the phone is screwed then there is nothing you can really do unless you fancy changing the main board.

Problems with wireless charger

Hi, i keep getting continual issues with my wireless charger.
there are 2 main issues i keep getting:
when i put my phone on the wireless charger quite often i will have to place it on the charger twice for some strange reason, this has happened for a long time now, if i place it on once, often nothing happens, so i then have to take the phone off the charger then place it back on and it will then realise its on and start charging.
The second issue i keep getting a lot is, sometimes when i place the phone on the charger it may start charging and then instantly say charing has been paused, then instantly start charging again, then instantly pause again and so on.....
Often i have to restart my phone to get it to charge properly, sometimes even after a restart it still does the same thing and i end up giving up and just plugging the cable directly in.
Does anyone else have the above issues or know how to solve them?
Is it a dodgy charger?
Thanks
James

I had the same issue with my previous s6 edge and found that setting on the screensaver in display allowed the wireless charging to function proprerly even tho doing this turned my phone into a hot one.
Then I discovered that (I don't know which kind of wireless charger you own, I have a samsung one (ep-pg9201) with a green/violet ring on the base with green in idle state and violet when charging) when the charging state is turned off and the screen displays "charging has been turned paused", moving a bit the phone or rotate it until the ring turn violet resumes the charging process.I just didn't need screensaver anymore.
I've replace my s6 edge by a s6 edge + and I'm still in the process of calibrating the battery but I found that usb charging is damned too slow, taking ages (4, 5 hours to gain 20% of battery) so I've not try yet wireless charging but only fast charging. I just hope the guy who sold it to me didn't screw up the battery and it's lifespan.
Anyway, on my S6 edge I've managed to reach 4 days on a battery charge, I' not sure I'll reach this with the edge + as this phone has real issues in that department.

Note 5 appears to be charging when it's not

Hello everyone, I seem to have a problem with my phone, This has been happening since last night. The day I woke up, everything was perfect, then around mid-day, I charge my Note 5 through my computer, then every 1-2 seconds my computer starts playing the disconnected/reconnected sound, and on the other side, the Note 5 flashes on showing that it's charging with a vibration. So I remove the charger, and then the phone continues to flash on with a vibration and saying that it's charging repeatedly, even when the nothing is connected. It also shows the neat little charging animation on the bottom of the screen when you charge it. So in conclusion, when charging, it rapidly disconnects/reconnects flashing the lock screen, with a vibration and charging animation, however upon removing charger, effects still apply. (Appears to be charging when nothing is plugged in. Any tips or advice will help. Thanks.
*Side question: my Note 5 is still in the Lolipop update, and when I go to software updates in settings to check for any updates, It doesn't find any. My Note is a Verizon. Is there any other way to update it? Thanks again.

Get a different USB cable before the one that came with it ends up ruining the phone! The one that came with it is junk! You can update the phone using Odin on a Windows computer by downloading the correct file from the firmware update thread.

Okay, I tried using a different cable, I think it worked? It doesn't turn on with the spamming disconnected/reconnected charging, the problem still occurs when I take out the charger. It still turns on with the charger disconnect/reconnect. Any solutions for that? Thanks!

Try to update using Odin on a Windows computer but it sounds like the USB cable already did the damage. You can try to factory reset it.

Charging issue

Hi, i have a problem with my phone.
It will start charging only when its turned off and when i turn it on while charging, it keeps charging but, when i plug the charger out and back in it won't charge until i turn the phone off.
I hope this makes sense.
I'm currently on HavocOS, but i tried stock MIUI and it's still the same.
I should also point out that i took it out of my drawer today after like 3 months, since i wasn't using it.
