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.

Jax_Omen

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... >_>

MojoPotato

Ha, not sure either but I won't complain! What sound did you Epics make?

Jax_Omen

I dunno, an annoying beepy chime? Like I said, it's been a long time.

HoustonHeart

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.

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.

HoustonHeart

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.

i'm pretty sure there are already apps out there that do it. i only posted the info on the hidden menu because the original poster of theis thread didn't seem to want to use an app.

Hello HoustonHeart,

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