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... >_>

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

Weird, I haven't had this happen yet (or maybe I just haven't noticed it). I've had the charge for a few days and let it charge at night.

Thanks for your patience,

In terms of the 3am wake up call yes, in terms of the no data on 3G in some locations, no.  As you may be aware, we also now have an issue with the Android Marketplace since EE4.  Some apps are now inaccessible that were prior to the EE4.  HBO to Go is one such example.

Actually, the steps offered, including the hidden menu approach still leave me with vibration at battery full -- even though I have Vibration set to Never.

I readily admit to being challenged by technology.  I just switched to the Droid Charge from a Blackberry.   Please help me with the learning curve.

 

 I did read through the posts and am a bit confused.  There is reference to an advanced menu and a hidden menu.  I only know how to find one menu for settings, but there is no ability to change notification regarding the battery charge.  Some posters make reference to an app that will address the issue.  Then I read comments that there is no "fix" to turn off the battery full notification.  Which is it - a hidden menu, an app to fix or nothing can be done?

 

I need to receive notification of incoming text messages so putting the phone on silence is not an option. 

 

Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.

Hello HoustonHeart,

 

At this time there is no way to disable this notification besides the workaround you have discovered.

hidden menu:

 

http://forum.androidcentral.com/charge-rooting-roms-hacks/90575-hidden-menu-option.html

 

just don't screw around with all of the other settings. no root or anything like that is required. this simply accesses the advanced menu. i personally think a simple app would be easier to use, but you appear to want to change it in the phone, without using an app, so this is how you do it.

 

edit---my bad....the link is for the fascinate i think? but there should be similar threads with instructions for the charge if it requires a different dialing #. maybe google will lead you to it? i've accessed these menus on HTC's and it's no big deal if you can find how to get to them.

I jsut realized chris put a app he made on my charge and it gives the option to silence charge complete notification, usb synch notifications and a few little things. Why they hid that in the first place is beyond me, it is part of the updated androd update from last febuary.

I did that dialer way to test it, it showed my batfullnot already off. But I was able to get to it usign hidden menu way. Question is, does it stick without use of custom aps. I will see if he can put the app he made up on market place, I had to isntall it usign an apk.
