Hi XDA,
I have a serious problem with my Galaxy Note: Every night I put the note in the docking station to charge it - and every night i get woken up by the note's display which tells me "Charging complete".
Is there any way to prevent / disable this? I had this phenomenon on Stock and now on KingDroid Notemania mod. I once read something (just can't find it anymore) when I was still on stock which helped about 95% of the time (some file was deleted). Anyone know a solution for this?
Thanks so much in advance!

there are a lot of postings regarding this, please use the search function!
simplest way: if you are rooted, delete the according sound file!
Hi,
thanks for the advice TML1504, but as I said: it didn't help all of the time. Sometimes, even when I deleted the soundfile, it kept happening. That's why I wanted to know if there is any other solution for this "problem". Also, I didn't really find any solution here in the forum (maybe I've been using the wrong keywords). Could you help me out? "Screen turns on after charge" didn't really get me the results that help me.
Thanks anyways,
Mad
just google for "galaxy note disable charged notification", i'm sure one of the methods will work! also, if you remove the correct file the notification WILL be gone! regards
Hi again,
Thank you, with those search results I did it last time. maybe it was just a coincidence it did not work out all the time. I was messing around with a lot of different roms back then
Thanks again,
Mad
Hi again,
went well for a couple of days (or at least I did not notice), but this night, around 4 o'clock my Note went bright as day an told me, charging was completed. So the soundfile I renamed "/system"media/audio/ui" "TW_Battery_caution.ogg" to "TW_Battery_caution.old" (like I found on Google with your advice) did NOT solve the problem.
Anyone else have any idea on how to fix the screen flashing up in the docking station when charging is completed?
Greetz,
Mad
I 'fixed' it by installing an app called Dock Clock from the store and so I get a nice bedside clock with a not-too-bright display instead. The app can be set to fire up automatically if the phone is put in a charging dock during a set time period.
Hi,
thanks for your reply!
Does this app really prevent the display to go bright when charging is finished? Could it really be that easy?
I'm already reading post's about decompiling SystemUI.apk and changing certain values. But those are obviously obsolete in ICS and only valid for Android 2.2...

Give it a try
Use No Moar Power by Chainfire. You can charge the phone with the device off and set a time you want the device to turn back on, aka right before your alarm goes off.
Hi,
@linker3000
I'll do
@Note_E
No, that doesn't help because I want to be able to get (emergency) calls, so I need my device powered on. But thanks for the suggestion anyway!
I don't understand why Samsung would sell this as a "feature" and not make it optional...
Greetz,
Mad
I wonder if you turned the phone so the screen was facing down, would the proximity sensor stop the screen from coming on.
Or try covering the sensor with the screen facing up and see what happens.

Hi All,
I noticed that a couple of seconds to midnight the display of my Touch HD turns on.
I turns off as usual, but I think it's kind of strange.
Anyone had the same issue?
Is it harmful? somehow I don't trust it
Hope someone knows what s the cause.
Regard
Ramón.
Have a search on here - I think I've already seen someone talk about that. It's something to do with searching for updates or something like that.
Thanks, I searched before but didn't find it..
I tried again and found the thread.

It seems to be caused by GAlarm which I'm using.
Thanks for the tip.. feels good to know why this happening
Hi all,
I'm running OzDROID 2.0 for my rom, 2.10.50.26 for my radio, and Hyperdroid1.6 for Android. Also TMOUS. I just recently updated my rom from an energy build to this one (wanted a lighter, faster loading WinMo). I've been having a nasty problem with the screen not coming back on when it goes to sleep. The buttons light up when i press them, but the screen stays black. Just today alone, i've had to pull the battery FOUR times. Some days it's ok, some days it's a nightmare. I checked the hyperdroid post for a radio recomendation but couldn't see any. I've tried using SetCPU to adjust clock speeds using profiles for sleeping, etc in hopes that some obscure thing will work. no good. I mean, what if i see bigfoot and want to snap a pic but the screen doesn't turn on?
My only ideas left include:
-Formatting my 16gb SD card. (would like to avoid, but will do if people think it would help. I hate setting stuff back up)
-Getting Hyperdroid1.7. (Havent yet cause 1.6 w/ Cyanogen is pretty F'n awesome, and minus this problem, i LOVE it)
-Updating my radio. (Going to do this anyways as i randomly get the "robot voice" problem. I plan on upgrading to 2.12.50.02_2 unless anyone has better suggestions)
I just wanted to check here to see if anyone has one of those "Ohh, enable <enableable option>, dumbass!" fixes. I'm not that experienced with this phone stuff. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Searching is your friend. App tray->Settings->Display->Auto-Rotate to OFF/Auto brightness to OFF. This has been covered bajillions of times, the HD2 builds of Android have problems with rotation and the light sensor causeing the kernel to wig out and BSOD.
Sorry for inconveniencing you. If you had any idea how much time i've spent on here trying to figure it out, you'd understand why I decided to just ask this myself. I've had this problem for a month and am finally just now posting. If I found that anywhere I would have gladly done it. The funny thing is - those two ARE disabled, and have been. I dont like auto-rotate and auto-adjust brightness has always been off.
I even took the time to read the "similar posts" that are recommended after typing in the subject.
Since those two are off and my problem persists, I suppose I should format my SD card and try other stuff. So while that problem may have been covered "a bajillion times" it appears your solution is not the miracle cure and is probably a good reason as to why it's been asked "a bajillion times."
Why is it then when I tell people to search, they instantly peg me as some jackass just trying to pawn them off. This issue, the "black screen of death" or, "my phone wont wake from sleep under android" HAS INDEED been covered many, many times. It's cause by either what I just told you, or the particular kernel that you are running is one that tends to get stuck in the sleep mode and won't let the screen come back on. Seriously 9 times out of 10 the problem is caused by auto rotate or auto brightness.
Ashasaur is right but also none of the android versions are very stable anyway and eventually you will face this problem on all of them some sooner than others but they will eventually crash in one way or another

I don't doubt that, but when you reply to someone asking for help with a tone as if they are retarded, don't expect them to buy you flowers. Sorry this has been asked so many times but I feel i put good time into researching this problem and didn't see a problem asking a Question on a QUESTION and answer forum. Like i said, sorry i inconvenienced you and I do appreciate your response, however you did come across as a jackass. I understand you probably deal with a lot of crap as a forum mod, but I didn't post this intending to ruin your day. You can see my post count and gather from it that I don't spend days posting pointless questions. If I came across a solution that worked, this post wouldn't exist.
Try a different radio(2.11.50.20) seems to be doing good for me, also try copying your files to a better SD card. And there is a tab under Setting>Home>>Items that says Home Timeout: 4 Hrs... try unchecking that box. I am new to the HD2 also and trying to tweak it just right so it stops turning off in the middle of the night and making me late for work cause no alarm lol
Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Do you guys not have a light sensor or something?

Yes we do. Maybe if there was some incentive to be your testers, like a free full edition, you might get some to actually be your "guinea pigs"
It works, but it will be much better if we can have a locking sound...

Oh wow, thats a great idea, never thought of it... i will definitely add this in the next release.
Almost done!
Updated, added screen locking sound
I just ordered a case, so I will gladly test this out once I receive it.
Just to let you know, I did try the full version of your app, but ultimately refunded it. It's a great concept, but just didn't work well on my A500. I don't know if our light sensor sucks or what, but the app wasn't detecting the cover being closed.
Anyone else having problems? Problems not related to not reading the instructions?
I'll try again with the Lite version, and see if I can configure it better. I did read the instructions, maybe I was just too quick to dismiss it.
I tried this on my Acer and the Acer cover, but didnt seem to work. Also tried the lite version. I did play around with the settings abit but still nothing. Sorry
Hey I have a suggestion. I apologize if this is already a feature as I did not see it in the other thread. But if you're able to trigger screen locks and sounds and such, why not also add the ability to have it turn off/on wifi and/or 3g?
Interesting... i will look into it, thanks!
Any issues to report?

Hi
Has anyone experienced that the tablet switches off constantly with out any any specific reason?
I could easily surf or read an email without switching off.. but then i would watch a movie and it switch off instantly or the other way around and its not even shutting down.. it just goes from powered on, to completely switched off.. It does not get hot and it does charge perfectly and the battery level does not drop/discharge radically.. it has never been dropped or manhandled. and it started doing last week
I'm on stock 3.2 PDA:KMP CSC:KMP (XAB), not rooted..
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I suggest you to discuss your matter from where have you bought the notebook as there might be some problem in hardware

I used to own a Galaxy Tab plus 7.0, which experienced this known problem of random reboot and/or sleep of death. You could google that to find out more.
I've since returned it for a refund. Then I picked up this used P7500 a month ago. It has not experienced not even one reboot. Sure, apps do crash from time to time, but the OS never completely froze.
How long have you owned your unit? If relatively new, I would returned it. If for a while, and only recently you experienced the problem, then I would do a factory wipe, or at least re-trace your steps and uninstall the last few apps. Also, ask yourself whether the problem is already related to certain apps. If so, get rid of those apps.
hi
Did a complete wipe.. so now its close as possible to factory default..
Could it be a battery calibration error? it works plugged in to either pc or wall socket.. works 10min after but then switches of randomly
Thanks for all the help/suggestions so far really appreciate it!
I know some mentioned the option of returning it.. But its bought in the US and im located in Denmark!

Hey everyone -
I originally posted about this in the Extreme Syndicate thread, but wanted to also ask here. I'm not sure if this is an issue wit my phone, the ROM, or the S5 in general. I'm on Extreme Syndicate L v2, and did a clean flash of it yesterday.
This morning, I noticed that placing the phone on it's back on a white surface while the screen is on caused a red light to appear. I think it's the heart rate sensor, but I'm not sure.
Is anyone else experiencing this? And could whatever-sensor-this-is-that-is-apparently-always-going be causing some people's battery drain on Lollipop?
Here's a short video.

Please post below whether or not you have this issue and which ROM you are on. Thanks!!

This is not very wide spread from what i know, its not related to the ROM, i was stock unrooted android. Its an error in the Update process. Verizon is unable to fix it besides a wipe to the phone, Just factory reset the Phone and the red light will stop. Sorry I cant explain any more.

Are you saying you experienced this problem and have fixed it with a factory reset? Since I just wiped and re-set everything yesterday, I'd really only want to go this route if it's a proven fix... Thanks!

OK, I think I have it narrowed down to Google Fit. I went into the app's settings and told it to not monitor my activity. After a reset of the phone, the light isn't turning back on. I'm going to monitor it for the next hour or so to confirm that it's really off for good.
EDIT - The light is still staying off, so Google Fit appears to have been the culprit!

This Would make sense since when i would run S-health it would be off for as much as a day before returning. Google fit is a good idea, if that solves it try uninstalling the app and re installing I'm interested in know why a reset of my phone solved this.
Just as a quick heads up to anyone still watching this form, the red light error with google fit has been repaired. You can now use google fit properly and you will not get the heart rate monitor always being active.
