[Q] Remove Battery Full Visual Alert - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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]Howto disable battery full indicator on Froyo.

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] My Awful Battery Experience

The battery life on my NC is absolutely horrible. I average 3 hours unplugged, 1 hour if I'm using it. It doesn't seem to charge up all the way -- after plugging it in the light on the Nook cord is orange for about 10 minutes then goes green even though the screen still stays "Not enough power to turn on - Try again in 15 minutes".
I've tried using software like juicedefender and other battery mon apps that are supposed to be able to predict when you're going to lose your power -- but they appear to be useless. Often I'll get the "Your Battery is Getting Low" message at the very same time as the "Shutting Down" dialog appears -- almost like there was a very sudden dramatic drop in available power.
I am beginning to wonder if it's the result of faulty hardware.
Has anyone else experienced problems like these? Or should I restore back to stock and send it in for warranty?
That definitely sounds abnormal. I'd probably restore it back to factory and if it's still acting like that, you'll know it's not due to any modifications.
Yeah, I second that. Mine drains pretty quickly, I go from 100% to about 60% in a day with normal usage. I use Wifi Auto Toggle to turn Wifi off when the screen turns off. So far I have to recharge every other day or so. But what the OP has going on sounds pretty extreme.
What ROM are you using?
What programs have 'keep screen alive' do you run?
How bright is your screen?
Screen/wifi burn most of the power in this - so minimizing them helps battery life considerably.
I had one game (HexDefense) that prefers to run in maximum brightness and burned through the battery very quickly. Nook was the warmest I've ever seen it and the temperature on my battery monitor actually moved for the first time ever.
SO if you're getting 3 hours doing nothing, that's bad. If you're getting 3 hours running a really processor/graphic intensive game, that's good.
If you can get it back to stock and still have low battery life, consider talking to the manufacturers about it.

You really question this? Something is wrong with your NC, cable, or charger.

You might have some rogue apps running that overheat the cpu. Look in taskmanager which apps are using much power. Download cpu spy free from the market to see if the cpu comes in deep sleep or not.
Good luck
I also have it occasionally. POWER+HOME button to reset. One time need to remove battery. Actually I felt like phone is still open but screen cannot come back. Next time I will call my phone when it happens.
I've had this happen twice. Both times a battery pull fixed it. At first I thought the phone was going dead, completely black and the power button would do nothing, but the second time I hit the volume button several times and it started beeping, so even though it looked completely dead, it was still turned on. I don't know what the problem is, but probably something software.
Which ROM/kernel are you using?
Any special CPU profiles?
How's the temperature?

happened a few times too. So, last time when I found it "dead" I did some test.
1. used my bluetooth headset (MW600) tried to play music, surprisingly music started playing but screen cannot turn on by any keys.
2. I called myself using another phone, Caller can hear ring normally and the call NOT dropped to voice mail, however my Note doesn't ring at all, screen still cannot turn on by any keys.
So it doesn't look like it's auto switched off by overheating, seems like unable to completely wake up after deep sleep.
Phone using Stock Rom(rooted with CWM), with System Power Saving mode turned on. I suspecting it's related to the power saving mode.
I'm also stock 2.3.5 rooted, with CWM, but do not have system power saving turned on. I haven't noticed any heat, but haven't monitored temperatures.
Do you also have the stock kernel?
Are you using setCPU?
Try using cpuspy, from market.

Dead
I also had this case yesterday for the first time. I bought it the 30th november.
Did not want to wakeup, darkscreen. Only way to recover was to remove battery. I am on 2.3.6 french.
I do not use Setcpu.
Mine is unroot. In other words, stock ROM and kernel.
I think it is software problem. And I think it is either Samsung software or Android system. Someone need to run logcat though.
For your information.
When you sure it's sleep dead(not shutdown cause by no battery)
Disconnect any charger/USB connected. Press and hold the power switch for around 10-15 sec,
that will restart the phone, no need remove that inconvenient back cover for battery pull.

The first time it happened to me I tried holding the power button but it didn't work, so I did the battery pull. I haven't tried again since then.
Sudden Shutdown
Mine too i've experience it 3 times, this happen when im opening some applications sudden black screen and restarted cannot access back button, haven't tried the power button. It just restarted thats it!!! Im at stock kernel unrooted 2.3.6 so what do you think guys should i root or just wait for Ice Scream Sandwich upgrade?

See if you hold the button long enough for over 10 seconds, before I would release and think power button not work after 7-8 seconds.
I have experienced "sleep of death" many times on different firmware versions. I has never happened since I flashed KL3. I'm on AbyssNote 2.1 kernel.
update:
since I replaced the stock launcher & locker, no more sleep dead issues. I suspect the problem source is stock locker or some stock widgets. Also, battery last longer too.
now using: widget locker + awd launcher ex + multi-picture live wall paper.
For those wonder why phone can't wake up for some reason, a user at the green power app forum had got the solid evidence.
http://greenpower.pouzerate.com/ind...-s2-freeze--black-screen?limit=6&start=48#465
"And if then it looks like the touchwiz launcher has crashed and changed pid when restarting without telling the InputManagerService about it, so it can't wake up the screen for that reason."
So the culprit is the stock launcher. And this matched with my experience even after I uninstalled green power free, my phone still have "not waking up" problem . But since switched to use 3rd party lock and launcher for a month, the "not waking up" never happens again.
This happened to me for the first time yesterday, when I eventually got it restarted by removing the battery, it was at 88% so don't think it was overheating, otherwise it would be much lower. Also I had Go launcher Ex running so touch wiz unlikely to be the culprit. Maybe some widget, I have loads!

This actually fits well with my experience. Touchwiz crashes on me occasionally and just last night I was experiencing the sleep of death thing. This time I thought it might have been the battery, so plugged in the charger and that somehow woke the screen back up to show touchwiz in the process of starting up, caught red handed!
This has happened to me as well 3 times, and every time it has been related to using a highres picture on the stock locker. It would lag out on unlock, black screen of death, which i would have to batt pull to fix. Didn't realize i had to hold down the power button for 15 secs to achieve the same thing. Have since switched to a low res pic on lock screen and haven't experienced the issue since. Will try the alternative locker solution if it happens again.

[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.

Disable 'low battery' screen activations

I use two batteries a day due to my long train-commutes to and from work. That means I will go past the 15% and often 5% low battery warning prompts. The prompts very often come up when the Note is in my pocket or the screen is otherwise not on. Turning on the screen twice to warn of a low battery is kinda like sounding foghorn each time silent mode is activated. Sort of undoes itself. So I'm out for a solution. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.
I am with you. I hate that warning. I have three batteries myself (including the stock one)

There's got to be some root app that let's you change up the percentage when the warnings occur. Can't you do that on CM9?
