i just tested and confirmed it works. now heres my question, WHY THE HELL AINT THIS BUILT INTO AND THEMED FOR OUR FRIGGIN ROMS"?
this is awesome, in case you didnt know the phone charges faster while OFF. this changes the OFF charging screen and also has a settings app with the options to:shut down charge to 100 and reboot, or charge to 15% and reboot
shut down and charge, reboot at a certain time or 5 minutes before the system alarm time~!
note yes the free version is ad supported (in settings not charging screen!) and yes adblocking DOES work.. so.. FREE.
or make our own "based on the idea" and custom theme it for each rom. the charging screen could use visual improvement for sure but the options are great.
I came across this a cpl a days ago but didn't knew if it would work on the cappy, so thx for confirming
I started using this and noticed that when I set a time for my phone to wake up, it would stop charging. I woke up to it at 70%. Just wondering if anyone had experienced something similar.
Used it last night and it woke up just before the alarm. Only thing is that is notifies me about the emails overnight just before the alarm. Which stands to reason...emails collect overnight, phone is off...phone turns on and goes nuts with the notifications. Phone was charged to 100%, but I was woken up just before the alarm with a blast of email notifications.

I fully charged my hd7 just before going to bed last night, i then did not touch anything on my phone just put it down and 8 hours later my alarm rings and i go to turn it off and noticed my battery was only half full. Does anyone know a way to check what is using the battery as i have not idea what it could be. Is it possible MS push updates at night? or is it more likely something wrong? I have been getting a day out of a charge with playing games and internet etc but this was doing nothing screen turned off no calls.
Have you changed any update settings? I've left my update frequencies as standard and seem to be doing fine.
How many power cycles has the battery had, as they seem to take a few charges to settle down.
this would of been number 4 so it could be that, the only thing new i added from the last charge that seemed fine was the htc hub so i have uninstalled that and hopefully i may have found the culprit.
Disable feedback as it can use the mobile data.
Disable update checking over mobile data.
Set email to download periodically rather than "as items arrive"
I have no idea if these will help and seriously doubt they will. I have just set these options myself after completely draining my battery in 14 hours of reasonably heavy usage. Fingers crossed.
I had a similar problem. I then realised that the speaker was hissing as though an application was still running. Don't know how to stop apps running so took battery out. Replaced it and seems to be ok now.
When you turn the phone off the speaker seems to be on for a little while afterwards. I keep checking to make sure it goes off now.
Hello all.
I bought a Nexus One in at the beginning of the year. It's not rooted and I've had no problems from it till this month. I can not say the timing is exactly this, but it seems the battery issues started just after the FRG83D upgrade. I am accustomed to using my phone for most of the day before it needs to be charged. 12 hours or more with moderate use. Since around the FRG83D update my battery is about dead in around 4 or 5 hours. I haven't changed any settings or gotten any new apps or anything for quite some time.
For example, Friday night I charged my phone to 100% and then unplugged it (to plug in my girlfriends phone) and went to bed (about midnight). At 5:15am my alarm went off, i glanced at my phone and found the batter was at 10%!! the phone had been sitting there doing nothing all night with the screen off. I checked the battery use screen and it showed cell standby and AKMD taking up all the battery (55% and 35% respectively). I should mention that I have full signal where I am and have never had an issue. I cut off the screen rotate in the settings just in case that was part of it (AKMD being the gsensor i believe).
At next full charge that day i noticed the same problem, after being at 100% my battery was down to 10% after about 5 hours, almost the entire time I didn't use the phone. This time "display" was the largest percent by far (followed by cell standby), but clicking it showed only 15 minutes of use time for the display as I had purposefully not messed with the phone much.
Last night I had to be out and a bout so I decided to test things again. Charged full and cut airplane mode on. about 4 hours later my phone was down to 20ish percent, the only use of the phone being me looking at the charge level a couple times through the night.
I installed "spare parts" app and it shows my battery as being in good health and such but who knows how reliable that is.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggested remediation measures? I'm considering flashing the phone and reinstalling apps and such but would rather avoid that having never done that before and not having a desire to deal with setting everything back the way I have it.
Don't know if it matters but I run LauncherPRO and I do use the friends widget but it's never seemed to really cause battery issues before. I also run the news/weather widget, but again, no previous problems.
Any help would be great
Thanks!
In the spare parts app check partial wake usage. See if any apps are not letting your phone sleep.
nothing stands out other than UID 10073 which is handcent. currently my phone is charging but I'll pop it off the charger soon and watch the battery drop time again. I should note that inbetween all the tests so far i've rebooted the device so hanging apps of any kind should be killed off...
What ROM are you using?
Are you using Extended Controls? There is an issue with that and FRG83D. Uninstall it until the dev sorts it out.
yeah i am using extended controls. i'll take it off and see what happens.
Me too
I Have exactly the same issue, also have extended controls. Uninstalled and waiting to see if that works.
Cheers for the suggestion.
That did the trick! Loss like extended controls was the problem. A shame as i really like that app. Will hope they update and fix soon. Thanks!

Extended controls updated!
Yup, uninstalling fixed it for me too. Haven't seen the update though. I remember seeing an update yesterday, but I had this issue with that update so that did not fix it for me. Hope they update it again soon

I think it was updated again today. Now v5.03, and it seems to work properly.
So nobody saw Extended Controls showing up in Spare Parts, System Panel or other such programs?
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.
I have realised (at least for me) that using Daydream whilst AC Charging is causing a wakelock on the phone after you remove from charge (no deep sleep at all aka 100% awake time).
My phone is pure stock at the moment, no root or any modifications.
I am not sure on the exact triggers, my wakelock seemed to activate when my alarm goes off in the morning causing my screen to turn to daydream mode, I then pick the phone up on the second alarm and unplug before turning the screen off, then the phone fails to enter deep sleep until you reboot.
Others appear to be having the same issues.
For now I have disabled Daydream on charging and I hope this stops the wakelock issue, but as to why it is happening at all I am not sure, the lack of battery stats on KitKat at the moment is fairly irritating.
Anyone else having 100% awake issues? and if so do you use daydream or alarms whilst charging? If so please let us know, and try to disable daydream whilst charging to see if that helps.
(FYI I am using CPU Spy to determine the exact time spent in "deep sleep", but you can get a general idea of how much awake time you have in the general android battery section of settings.)

Thank you for your post. I hav those issues too and was just starting to look into it. I too am using daydream on charge and seen a wakelock yesterday, that i could get rid off by rebooting. I then recharged to get through the rest of the day and the lock came back. And this morning: exact same thing again. I disabled Daydream alltogether and see if it really is the culprit on my system.
Edit: i don't use alarms on that phone at all.

This morning I had finished my first full charge since disabling daydream and my wake-lock issues appear to have gone (hopefully for good!).

First Full Charge after disabling Daydreams: 3h of the charger and AndroidOS kept my phone awake for 1,5h. So it seems that it was not daydream on my device
Just the same as wireless charging causing random wakelocks after you take it off charge, never got fixed on the N4 and the problem seems to have carried on with the N5. Problem is you sometimes don't realise until you have little or no battery left!

Has anyone found any wake lock app that works? I have no clue what's going on because the stock battery info shows my phone sleeping but the drain means there's a wake lock but no way to know what.

no not yet, they don't like 4.4 /nexus 5 do they. I just know something was up as I put it on the wireless charging pad over night and by lunch time I was at 60% with little usage. I recharged and rebooted and then it was back to normal. Seen it all before with the N4.
My Gear S2 operates as normal as it should, however even at idle, the battery drains rapidly. Once the unit is completely dead, I then dock it and it will say 60% charge, which I know is wrong given that the unit will not power on undocked, meaning the battery had been completely depleted. Unit charges normally but I think a bug is preventing it from reaching actual 100% since it believes 0% to be 60%. Is there a way I can fix this without tearing apart the unit or replacing the battery?
same issue
I'm having the exact same issue, did a factory reset today updated all apps still same. I use a basic watch face, turn brightness to 2, everything off except Bluetooth and can get about a day of use . Is anyone else having this issue and has a solution?
Battery dead
So update on this issue, (on the Gear App on the phones most updated version) I went to the basic watch face in gray scale, then turned off all notifications, under gear connection, I unchecked sync wi-fi profiles, and under about gear I unchecked marketing information. I'm not sure which of those if any made the difference but at the end of day one 16 hours of use I was at 70%. So on the second day I tried a colorful watch face with animations, and 16 hours in I was at 63%. So one of those changes I made may have fixed my issue.
I did uninstall and reinstall the app on the phone, as well as reset the watch itself, neither seemed to work until I did the above changes. Hopefully that will help someone, or at least help to find out what is causing the massive battery drain.

With all that I have done with my gear, most I was able to get was about 10 hours. Though today it did to something odd. It died completely like it normally does, (it dies anywhere between 3-10% ish, and when it does die, its completely dead) so I placed it on the dock. Two minutes later I check and it reports 34%, "thats odd" I think to myself so I undock it and power it up thinking I would get no more than 5 minutes battery life on it since it couldnt possibly have that much charge in two minutes. I also expected it to report a low percentage but it didnt. I placed it back on my wrist and it continues to run about 10 minutes later down to 25% and still going! I find it odd. My current leakage issue I think remains and might be why the watch doesnt last as long. I might end up getting a new battery and see. My top battery user: watch faces at ~45%, even if the face hardly came on, and I am using one with a custom background that is mostly pure black.
Drain
That does sound pretty weird. I had a custom watch face installed "Mr Time" and started with a brand new install and I'm slowly adding things back in.
I would suggest a fresh install of the phone app, and the watch, using the classic face black and white. If you can get similar results to what I have then one by one start customizing it. I tried a lot of things to get it to work, over several days and that's what worked for me. I even uninstalled all of the watch faces I want using from the app"i felt that Mr time was still running in the background, even though it probably wasn't.
Good Luck
