[Q]Howto disable battery full indicator on Froyo. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I place the Samsung Galaxy S under my pillow and listen to "whiteNoise". That gets me to sleep pretty fast.
The problem is that the battery full indicator switches on the display and leaves it on. (I have the setting activated that while on usb power, leave display on).
This causes the phone to get really hot during the night and I'm scared it might kill it eventually.
So I could toggle the usb option every night, but I really would like that the useless battery full warning could be disabled.
I hoped that Froyo would bring a solution to this problem, but I guess not.
Maybe by posting it here (again?) some bright minds can find the option to disable this warning completely.

[Q] Remove Battery Full Visual Alert

Hello. Has anyone figured out a way to remove the battery full visual alert? I use Timeriffic to remove the audio notification. I have a Samsung Dock and insert my phone into it every night when I go to bed. This puts the phone into DeskHome mode which I like. Then, in the middle of the night, when the battery gets to a full charge it shines like a beacon and stays on until I click the button to shut it off. My wife usually gets mad and flips the dock over. So my question is.... Can I turn off the visual notification of a full battery? Or make it so it doesn't kick my screen on and keep it on? I am not concerned about leaving my phone on the charger all the time and I am not worried about the audio notification.
It's possible, but...
Yes, it's possible to eliminate the popup notice & sound effect. However, it's very complicated to say the least. It involves editing the services.odex and android.policy.odex files.
What I haven't been able to do is track down what exactly causes the LCD to come on when the battery is fully charged. If I could figure that out, I could totally eliminate the whole thing.
FYI: It's the DeskHome app that keeps the screen on once the "battery is fully charged" notice is sent through the OS. If you don't have that app running, the screen would come on, then go off just as though you hit the power button but didn't unlock the screen.
Thanks! I tried that last night (not running DeskHome) and it worked! I would love to be able to have more control over deskhome to eliminate the full battery alert, but oh well.

[Q] Any custom ROMs which disable fully charged vibration?

After reading several other threads created to ask this specific question and trying most if not all of the offered solutions, I am resigned to the fact that a custom ROM may be the only way to disable the 100% battery charged notification.
Has anyone currently got a Note which does NOT vibrate/screen on when it reaches 100% charge? What was the solution? Custom ROM/app/decompiling systemui.apk?
Thanks.
PS. FYI 'Battery Charged Silencer' app does not currently work for Note, Tasker can only set 'silent' etc which does not affect it, and I do not want to buy a seperate alarm clock..
Mine Note never vibrate or sounds or give any notification when its fully charged.
I have to check it for myself, too see if it fully charged on the lockscreen.
Maybe theres a setting to enable/disable it then? Since mine never do that when its fully charged.
It does it. If you wait 30~ minutes after it reaches 100%, it will do it. There is no default setting to switch it off. I thought I had solved it last night by actually leaving the screen on absolute minimum, but it just takes longer to reach 'fully charged' state.
Any ideas or solutions would be great as it is driving me crazy.
It does. This vobrating crap wakes me every noght! Even if I dont charge it, it vibrates when battery is low. Very stupid that you cant turn it off.
Ive been looking for this functiok also. Badly!
Amazed there isn't any solution for this yet. For the time being I have reluctantly brought my W610i out of retirement to serve as an alarm clock.
Now I take two devices into the shower instead of just one.
I finally stumbled across the solution to this last night. You need to move the 'haptic feedback' slider all the way to the left in sound->vibration intensity. Having the other sliders down on their own isn't enough, but disabling haptic feedback stops the vibrate notification.
You can then use Tasker or other similar tool to suppress the 'screen on' notification.

Permanent Battery Saver On

Is there a way to permanently switch on the Battery Saver option instead of it automatically switching on at 15% battery and being disabled when charging?
Go to settings, battery, menu, and switch on battery saver with slide switch.
Well, i need it to be on permanently. ^What you suggested doesn't even allow a toggle when the phone is connected to a charger.
BTW this is for the latest lollipop OS.
I have Android 5,0,2 there is no way to have the phone on battery save when its charging (why would you do that anyway) Android turns it off. When you stop charging you turn it back on. I wouldn't know what else to suggest. If you have problems with battery see this thread.

battery life

i got my device updated to B133 it said it increases battery performance but it seems my battery is draining fast...anyone having the same problem??... can anybody give a better solution
I have a "similiar" problem - my devices starts rebooting or bootlooping (not sure whats exactly is happening) when reaching 100% Battery (I'm currently trying to finger out).
In my Screenshoot you can see, that the phone is totally offline about 1-2hours at night while charing.

i didnt observed something like that cz i never charge overnight... but the phone heats quicker in the day light and the battery drains faster than before
This is just my personal experience.
I own Huawei P10 UK variant with carrier bloat (Three) firmware version: VTR-L09GBRC555B150.
Since I got update I had really terrible battery life.
The phone didn't last me a day with on average 2.5-3h screen on time. To improve my battery I dived deeper in settings and here is what I find.
Turn off auto brightness in notification menu.
Go to settings>battery and click on" lock screen clean up" close apps that you want to stop using WiFi /data when device is locked - is amazing to see how many apps actually use data when screen is off.
In same section turn off "Remaining battery percentage"
Also go to settings>more>mobile network and turn off "mobile data always on"
In settings>wifi unmarked wifi+ option.
After these adjustments your phone should really improve in battery department.
Also if you receive any update from Huawei it's a good thing to do factory reset to stop apps from using extra resources from before update.
Here are some screen shots

Question S21 Ultra Always On Display

Hi everyone.
Just wanted the community's opinion on what your thoughts are about the AOD.
How many of you use it regularly? And those that do, what is your preferred setting - Always on (+/- scheduled) or Tap to Show for 10 seconds? What has been your experience with battery life and overall usability? Any tips or tricks? Any downsides?
Those who don't use AOD, could you please post your reasons, along with any experience with battery drain or screen burn in or other issues.
I'd like to use AOD (on the always on setting), but am not very sure what it costs in term of battery or screen life. The former is a non-issue for me personally but if it's going to affect screen life or quality, I may hesitate a little. I tried the tap to wake for 10 seconds thing but it seems to beat the purpose as I can just as easily go to the lockscreen with a double tap and neccessitating user-interaction negates any real benefit of an always-on feature.
My current settings are:
AOD Always on (scheduled from 7am to 10pm)
FIngerprint reader always on (so I can go directly from AOD to Homescreen without having to go through the lockscreen)
Fingerprint icon set to tap-to-show (just as a hint if i ever miss hitting the correct position when trying to unlock)
Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.
I only use AOD via AODNotify...that should have been an option in the poll.
I use a Tasker profile to turn AOD on (always) when a message arrives and revert back to tap to show when message is cleared.
I keep it on all the time, really helpful and doesn't seem to drain too much battery.
Btw does anyone know if it's possible to add weather info to the S21Us AOD?
One of the few things I still miss from my P4XL..
I don't use it drains a lot of battery
I use to always have it active on my 10+ but it got to be annoying. Tap on is fine.
I don't care to be informed every bloody second... that ain't no way to live.

Wasn't even aware something like that existed. Thanks for the heads-up, will check it out.
Poll updated with new option.
I like to keep the setting to always on with fingerprint always enabled showing thumbprint on screen always .
What i have noticed is the aod doesnt turn off when the phone is in pocket or lying upside down.
That would save so much battery.
AOD used to turn off automatically in my s9plus when the phone was in pocket .
May be this feature is disabled due to lack of active proximity sensor

The 10+ has a proximity sensor and AOD always remains on if set to. The face down off be nice.
Maybe it caused issues in the past. Samsung is sort of hit or miss though.
I have yet to use the fingerprint sensor, lol don't even know if it works.
Last thing I want is to get locked out of a device.
As soon as you set an access password this can happen and through no fault of your own. A hardware failure or glitch can trigger it. Had no password been set the setting wouldn't be enforced. I've gotten locked out of a PC bios like that, never again.

Does the fingerprint icon shift around like the clock or battery percentage (it has very little room to move around though)?
I hope it does, otherwise it'll land up causing screen burn if it's in the same position with the same pattern all the time. Have you noticed this?

Probably shifts it over a few pixels but in bright light over time it will cause uneven aging.

I set that sucker to always on all the time and at max brightness to boot. Cannot use a phone without the option.

According to your battery stats, how much drain is attributed to the AOD? Could you post a screenshot at the end of a day please?
I don't know how much drain is attributed to the AOD. As soon as I get the newest Samsung I turn it in and crank it up before I literally do anything else. I keep every setting on ALL the time (Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, etc). The battery gets me through a regular day. I'll try and post a screen shot. Today I took it off the charger 3 hours ago and I haven't stopped using the phone. I'm sitting at 85%.

You monster, you.
My smartwatch (Fit2, cheap) negates the need for AOD.

I have a serious addiction to smart phones, lol. I'm on mine about 12 hours a day. Mostly playing games or surfing the net. Today off my charger for 2.5 hours and I'm at 88% lol.

Cycle the battery between 35-65% if you can (and then raise both those numbers slowly over time) or else you will fry your battery fast.
If you're just going to buy a new phone in 2 years, then, don't bother with what I said.
