Beware of the 3am wake up call

Warning: The **bleep** at Samsung thought it would be a good idea to set off a notification which plays your system notification sound/vibration, as well as lights up the screen, every time the battery reaches 100% charged.  So don't sleep in the same room as your phone.  No need to respond with a lame workaround fix for this issue (e.g. turning volume off before bedtime, apps that control volume oin a user defined schedule).  I obviously know about those.  The point is that this is stupidity at finest.  Notifications in the middle of the night with no way to disable them.  Samsung, are you hiring?

It is nuts isn't it?  And you're right, it did wake me up on 2 different nights.

I put up a note about that one last week -- and I did turn down the volume to zero.  I ascribe it to juvenile exhibitionism among the programmers -- and not giving a <...> about us customers.

It affects all TouchWiz phones, not just the Charge (so the Galaxy S line, on every carrier, is also affected). My girlfriend actually had me perform dental surgery on her phone JUST to remove that notification... she got so jealous of my Galaxy S not making a fully charged noise!

My wife's Epic 4G doesn't make that stupid "charge complete" noise.  Pretty sure we would have heard it once during the day/night over the past nine months.

 

It is remarkable that there is no way to disable it.  And I mean "remarkable" in a bad way.

Odd that your wife's doesn't, as mine and my girlfriend's Epics both used to. Perhaps the Sprint version of the 2.2 update removed the sound? I dunno, I've had non-official software on our phones since late last year... >_>

Odd, jusst like my old global 2 I am able to uncheck the notification on full charge  sound and it doesn't do it.

Where do you see the option that says "notification on full charge"?  I don't see it anywhere.
