What's the trick to allow the Note 9 apps to function while it's wirelessly charging? Currently, the phone won't even charge when wirelessly docked unless I lock the screen or enable Daydream.
Is there a hack that can fix this arbitrary limitation?
There's no hack. The Note 9 functions just fine while wirelessly charging. You have a bug.
Thanks for the quick reply. So, you can have an app like YouTube running on the foreground full screen while your phone is fast wireless charging?
Mine DOES show that it's charging in the notification bar, but the red led on the phone doesn't turn on unless the phone screen is locked. So, it looks like it's charging, but it doesn't actually charge the battery. When doing searches on this issue, I just see others asking the same question without a solution.. even for other Android phones.

Mine charges just fine while using it. I often put it on the wireless charger and watch Netflix. Of course using it will slow the charge rate, but it should at least keep up with the use.
Does your red led for charging stay on for wireless charging while watching Netflix, etc? Mine turns off unless the screen is off.

No that light only stays on while the screen is off.
Your get the same thing when using wall charger, indicator only turns on when screen is off since it's a notification LED. It isn't meant for it to stay on while screen is on since you can see battery icon showing its charging.
From what I've experienced, the phone will charge wirelessly, with screen on (about 800mAh) and wirelessly fast charge (I cannot get a mAh measurement, because the screen has to be off to get the "fast charging" toast message seen on the lock screen) with the screen off.
This seems like an odd limitation to purposely install, but there it is.

anyone else having this issue and/or know of a fix?
I know that's a setting.. at least in the cm10 roms
Look in settings then developer settings and have a look if you turned it on by accident

its not the "keep screen on while charging" option you guys are thinking of. for some reason the screen just stays on while charging. the asus charger it came with does not cause the problem though.
when i first plugged mine in to a charger that wasnt the one shipped with it, it'd keep thinking i was plugging/unplugging it and so the screen would always be on.
Does it alternate between Charging and battery level on the lock screen?
Screen is on when charging, but once it's plugged in and charging, can you turn the screen off by pressing power button while it's charging?
That's how my NC works.
Is there any indicator of charging? When I plug in charging there are no indicator of charging once screen is off. Couple of times, while charging over USB, my phone didn't charge at all, and I didn't know because screen was off and there's no indicator of charging exceps icon on screen.
Anyone had problems with charging over USB?
Your usb ports may not provide enough power for charging. Often the case with laptops, sometimes only specific usb ports provide power.
My USB charger works fine but there is NOT an external indicator because there is NO LEDs
battery icon changes when charging

You do not want to keep the screen on while you are sleeping, for example!!!
Try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=en
Makes use of the LED backlit screen, VERY useful.
Not enough power over USB is not likely, because sometime it does charge, sometime it doesn't. On same USB, I charge HTC Desire without any problem.
And I also think that not having indicator of powering is wrong, because keeping screen on is bad solution. There should be a led light indicator or some other way without keeping screen on.
Sounds like a bad cable but if you can charge your desire then i'll guesss it's not.
Stupid question, but have you tried different cables? Different usb-sockets?
Only problem left I can think of is if your connector on the phone is bad.
Mine charges just fine through USB.
Tried different cables, different USB. But sometimes works, wometimes not, so it bugs me. I would hate if it's bad connection on the phone, but just can't find what it is, since sometimes it works, sometimes not.
It would have been nice, afaik the S III has one. But then that's a design decision by Samsung. If you decide you need that LED, you should have chosen another phone.
For me, it's not that that big an issue...

Using NoLED now and powering over charger, no problems so far

I have this charger but on the note 8 (ok on S8+) it keeps giving me a bleep and the message "wireless charging enabled" pops up on screen every few minutes. The green charge light remains lit. Any ideas what is going on?
I've tried it vertically and horizontally and same effect.
thanks

I have one similar to that (amazon chinese one) and it will not fast charge on my note 8 but it will slow charge wirelessly but it doesn't oscillate and stop charging like you are describing. Works fine fast charging my note 5. Hard telling about some of those chinese wireless chargers. Are you using a samsung or equivalent qc 2.0 adapter? If so and it is still oscillating on and off it is a connection issue between the coils or some other quirk with the charger. Do you have another wireless charger that you can test with?

Hi Yes using the samsung charger. Its weird as the green light remains on suggesting its still charging but I get the bleep and message. I might bin it and buy a chotech one as it seems to have good reviews.
thanks
Hmm I'm not sure where the problem lies - I now have a choetech and a replacement for the other one I reported above. However the problem continues...
When the phone is fully charged it pops up on screen saying its 100% charged....then it seems to switch back to charging mode and again pops up saying its 100% charged shortly after.
This appears to be a constant cycle and rather than just keep it topped up in the background it tells me so...during the night this is a major distraction as the screen lights up each time.
It doesn't do it via the USB cable.
Anyway to disable the notification? Its not an app so can't find the permissions.
thanks
I have a QI wireless charger in the car - if I dock my Mi 9 it charges fine, but then when it gets to 100% it turns the screen on.
I think it then stops charging, and then a small amount of battery must be lost, then it charges up again - gets to 100% and then the screen turns on...
And repeat!
So once the phone is at 100% its turning the screen on and off every minute or so, very frustrating when driving.
Is there a way to suppress this anyone can suggest?
Thanks,
Bill.
Nobody?

Unfortunately I've no solution for you, but indeed this sounds a frustrating issue! Furthermore, when i have my phone on the following wireless charging stand at night time....
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07KG5HDFX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title
...i don't face this issue. As in, I have it charging throughout the night and I haven't noticed it turn on and off when reaching 100% and the repitition you have mentioned.
My only suggestion is to perhaps try another wireless charger, though this may be slightly over kill as perhaps the same thing might happen with that one. Presumably the charger (or phone?!) is stopping charging at 100% then dropping to 99% and resuming charging etc. Which charger do you have out of curiosity?
I don't believe there are any settings currently that can help you. There is a setting in the Developer Options, but the opposite "keep screen on whilst charging". Therefore whilst this setting is not what you need, reporting this feedback to Xiaomi could result in a new setting to "disable screen on when 100% charging complete" could be implemented.
Do you intend on unlocking your bootloader/rooting etc? As you could ask for such a setting to potentially be implemented into the Xiaomi EU rom or other custom modified rom. Alternatively, when (hopefully) we start to get roms like AOSP etc with lots of features. Lastly, perhaps the best option for you would be to use something like Tasker (rule based automated task app, Google it if unfamiliar), if you do intend to root, as I believe you could use a rule such as "when charging = screen off", which may work.
I got that idea from here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9wg8k5/is_there_a_way_to_have_the_screen_off_while/
Same issue here, but on wire. Screen turns on, showing the charging animation, then goes off for a while, then turns on again. Frustrating.
Update: I figured out that the phone 'doesn't like' some chargers as I use many. I have an older 5V 1A Huawei charger and the behaves like above, however, with other chargers it works fine. Previous phones work fine with this chargers too.
Hi, I have a Note8 that I can not get to charge normally.
I've tried lots of chargers and stack charging with various on/off durations but no LEDs light and I don't get any booting icons.
Sometimes I get white text on a black background that flashes on screen for a split second and the phone vibrates while the text is up:
"Samsung Galaxy Note8" "Powered by Android"
Just now, I connected it to a 3Amp USB 3.1 port on my computer and held down the Volume- Bixby Power buttons.
The download mode Warning screen came up and stayed up. I'd gotten it up before but it'd quickly blink off.
Now, if I select Volume up (to continue) or Lower left key (show barcode) the screen goes black.
What I'm wondering is this: does the Note8 battery charge while it is at this teal Warning screen for Download Mode?
I'm hoping the battery does charge and if I leave it like this overnight, it might have at least a few percent so the battery will return to normal charging behavior.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
For some reason this phone has a weird issue that, in some times, lets discharge the battery to 0%, making it unable to even hold a charge anymore. A lot of people fixed this by putting the phone in a wireless charger while ALSO plugging the usb charger. This will make the device power on and start charging normally. You might have success doing this. Otherwise, your might need to replace the battery.

Yes it should charge in download mode. Why you are having this problem is beyond me though, I would guess it's either a dodgy charging port, or a end of life battery, or both. If you have a wireless charging pad, try that, then at least you can cross one problem that it might be off.

Thanks for the tip about charging at the download mode Warning screen.
I've read a lot about Note8 battery and charging issues and I have seen the trick with a wireless charger - place note8 on wireless charger, add wired usb charging, remove usb, re-add usb, and it should start charging.
I don't have a wireless charger and this Note8 was a gift from a friend who moved up to a newer, functioning device. I don't have any other wireless charging phones so I'm hoping to get this Note8 charging again without having to buy a wireless charger. Though, that is my next and final step.
If it charges while at the download mode Warning screen (it has a white triangle and exclamation point at the bottom), I hope it'll be able to charge normally by morning.
If I had an in-line USB multimeter, I could see the amps flowing into the phone and be able to tell if it's charging.
That's something else I might get in addition to a Qi charger.
