can it be done...its annoying when it makes the noise and lights up when im asleep
What annoys me more is that it appears to stop charging once it's full. So by the time I wake up and unplug it in the morning, my battery widget tells me I'm only at 95%
thats crappy...but anyone know the answer to my question?
The noise can be disabled by turning off the screen tap noise in settings under Sounds and Display (you'd be surprised at how unnecessary that noise really is - it's a much quieter experience without it - and I daresay even slightly faster, though your brain tends to think the phone is waaay faster with the noise response, as it gives you something to react to instantaneously.) However, the notification will still cause the screen to turn on for a few seconds. No way to change that without root.
Actually, this is a big problem for me..
I changed the setting for when plugged in, so that the screen stays on.. So I kinda use it as a bedside clock..
The beep and the notification are 100% annoying.. It has woken me up in the middle of the night.. I HAVE turned down the sound, but for some reason, the screen tapping noise has returned to full volume on it's own a number of times.
But the WORST part, is that IT DOES STOP CHARGING YOUR PHONE AFTER THE NOTIFICATION COMES UP! I just unplugged my phone after charging all night, getting the FULL CHARGE notice, and it is at 96% (according to Battery Status Pro and Battery Monitor).. Yesterday, it was at 95%. If I charge it and unplug it right after I get the notification, then the phone is 100%. I think I lose a lot of power since I have the screen stay on when plugged... So now that it is done charging, my screen stays on using battery power for an hour or 2 while I am still sleeping (while plugged in). But why does the power still not trickle in even after being fully charged??
This needs to be fixed!!

Are you using the cable or the dock? Curious cause the dock doesn't stop charging the phone when its full. I haven't used the stock cable cause it doesn't really charge the phone at all when plugged into the computer. I killed the phone last night (takes surprisingly long from 6%) and it charged just fine last night. I'm hoping the phone realizes there's more juice than it thinks there is. It was at 0% alone playing youtube videos for like 10 minutes. I finally killed it with a 3d game.

I am using the cable plugged into the AC adapter. I haven't purchase a dock yet.. Waiting for the dock that sits higher up on the desk/table.
Yes, I definitely noticed the same thing.. When the phone gets down to 10%, it can take an hour or 2 to get to 5%... and I can still use the phone and watch videos till it gets to 1%... Basically, as you said, it is not reading the juice right.
As far as the phone not charging once it gets to 100% goes. This is definitely true. It seems that it will stop charging, but once the phone drops to a certain % it will resume charging... I'm not sure why it does this, seems kind of dumb. But you can see it happening on this chart. Look closely at the Charging portion
I don't think the widgets are reading the battery right. I am getting the "battery full" notification when my widget says 94%-97%. I charge it while I am at work so it is right next to me. From 12pm-5pm it was full and did not change from "95%" with the notification light staying blue the entire time.
It doesn't seem so much that the phone is quitting the charge and burning through 5% of the battery overnight.
The phone seems to consider 95%+ full...or the widget is not accurate.
This morning I woke up to the phone at 95% with the blue light.
Unplugged, plugged back in and it continued to charge till 97% then blue light again.
Unplugged, plugged back in and it continued charge for a couple minutes then blue light again.
I love the phone, but I hate this problem... I really hope someone fixes this soon, especially after we get custom ROMs!
Also noticed that the phone says battery full even though the battery widget states 95% or 97%. I have a generic Galaxy S on ATT with the same battery widget, never a problem, always shows 100% upon recharging.
Otherwise, this version seems much faster overall than the generic Galaxy S. Both get decent battery life - approximately a day and a half to almost two days on a charge. Certainly better than the Nexus One.

I don't find this an issue at all. I think its rather healthy for the battery to discharge a bit. Its worse to keep it plugged in at 100% all the time.

They set it up to discharge on the charger after it hits 100% so it doesn't over charge the battery. My palm pre did the same thing the only difference was they had a gui battery level that read 4% different then the actual battery level for this reason so when it was on charge and said 100% it would cycle down to 95% then back up to 100% while showing 100% battery to you through the phone menu the entire time.
What I think is the most annoying is that the screen stays on. I haven't heard it yet, but I'll wake up and check my phone and I see the notification that the battery is full and the screen is on. I don't know how the life on those super AMOLED screens are, but I'm sure that leaving the display on for hours every night is detrimental.
I turn my phone off at night when I charge. I must sleep heavy because I have not seen or heard what you guys are talking about. I use the AC adapter.

I can't say I've had this problem - the screen shuts off automatically after 10-20 seconds. You might be waking up as soon as the screen pops on?
Also, keep in mind folks, to turn off the sound, under Settings, Sound and Display, disable "Audible Selection", and the noise won't appear again.
A fix like this, I suppose?

It's a good effort, but reading the thread, a fresh, zero-touchwiz rom might be the only real answer.
I am not sure what I'll do. Plug it in to the wall adapter and cover it up? Easy, but if I do that, the dock is going back to Sprint. I have the travel dock/spare battery, so I could swap in a full battery to get the notification out of the way, but that seems... retarded.
This is really annoying to me.
Charging notification PROBLEM SOLVED !
PROBLEM SOLVED ! NO COST !
I saw this suggestion in another forum and it WORKS, so I'm passing it on !
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.
I don't mind the discharge the problem but it discharges too much. I woke up once with the battery full message, hit ok only to see my battery was at 87%. Anyone know if charging ever kicks back in once it discharges down to a certain point? Babysitting your phone charging pattern is kind of counter productive.

I'm running a Sprint Mogul using no2chem's nueROM 2.2 Preview 7 (8's touchscreen issues made me downgrade), and having some very peculiar battery problems I'm hoping someone has advice about.
A few weeks ago I woke up, pulled my phone from the charger, and watched the battery instantly drop from 100% to around 83%. Over the next 15 minutes it dropped to the mid-70s before leveling out and discharging at a more normal rate. This occurred the next day and so on. Now this was with Seidio's 3200mAh extended battery. I then switched to my (sigh) OEM battery and didn't have the same problem, so assumed it was Seidio's battery, filled out an RMA, and sent it off to be repaired.
Now a couple of days ago the OEM battery started doing the same thing. I'd pull it off the charge and it would have somewhere in the range of 60% battery remaining. I'd have to plug it into my car charger or USB cable on my notebook to charge it up the rest of the way (albeit very slowly).
This morning I decided to watch the process from before I even unplugged it. First I noticed the orange light was on after a full night's charge. If memory serves me, the light's supposed to go out when it's at 100% (I may be mistaken). Meanwhile the battery meter was at 60%. I unplugged it and it remained there. I plugged it back in and watched no2chem's charge meter show the power connection, and I went ahead and left it plugged in for a little while before checking it again. It was now at 63%.
So what I'm finding is that at some point during the night my phone stops accepting a charge, despite the charge light remaining on.
I'm going to experiment with two things to further troubleshoot: tonight I'm swapping chargers with my wife's. I'm pretty sure the phone controls whether or not it's continuing to charge the battery, but I'm going to rule this out the only way I can. Then if that doesn't improve it I'm going to flash back to a Sprint official ROM (sigh) and see if maybe no2chem's power applet or power management settings are somehow causing this oddity.
Does anyone have any extra experiences with problems like this that might give me an idea of what else to try? Otherwise my thinking is if those two steps yield no improvements, then it's the phone's physical battery management hardware that's faulty and I'm going to have to use my insurance to replace the phone. I'd like to exhaust all the other resources before I spend the $50 on the deductible, though.
Thanks!
sometimes mine overheats while charging, at that point the LED flashes orange until it cools down enough to resume charging, this might be happening to your in the middle of the night
I thought I heard purple meant overheating. Either way, it's not clearly describing it. Also this has never happened before, so if it's happening every single night now, I've definitely got a problem.
Anyway, just plugged it in with my wife's charger. Let's see how it turns out in the morning.
You said :

Sure sounds like a bad charger.

Now confirmed. Just pulled it off my wife's charger after a full night, at 100%. Five minutes later, 99%. Much better. I wonder what would cause the charger to stop charging halfway through the night, but keep the charge light on. Well, at least the mystery's been solved.
I am sort of having the same issue. A couple of weeks ago I decided to upgrade from the standard Verizon ROM for my xv6800 to DCD's 3.2.2 ROM. The upgrade went perfectly. I always plug in my phone every night before I go to bed. The light turns orange while it is charging and then it is green when I wake up. The phone always showed 100%. Now with the updated ROM, I do the same, plug in before I go to bed, the light turns orange, and it is green when I wake up. But, when I look at the battery level when I unplug it, it is usually at about 94%. The battery level also seems to go down quicker than before, but I figured that had to do with the GPS radio and WM6.1. Why do you think the battery would no longer show 100% when I unplug it? Seems very weird that right after I upgrade the ROM my battery would start failing.

DCD roms included new code to show 1% changes. The original code showed 10% changes only. Originally, you likely saw 100%, 90%, 80% etc. Now you see 95%, 94%, 93%, etc. It seldom goes to a perfect 100% and it LOOKS like it is discharging faster. In reality it is simply showing more detail.

Yes, I noticed the 1% increments, I figured it was Windows Mobile 6.1 compared to 6.0. I think the old method was reporting in 5% blocks.
So, your battery never shows 100%? Very weird. So, my battery is probably fine and it is probably behaving just like it always has?
Thanks for the information.
Today in the morning i've wake up and checked my phone that was connected to a charger for last night. Power button were with a red light and a phone act like switched off.
Now, I can't turn it on and i don't now what to do exactly. I've tried a hard reset, nothing...
Does anyone had that problem???
Thanks for help.
Regards
First of all, if you want people to read your question, change the subject to something informative. Most people just skip these kind of non telling subjects.
Second, the problem. The red light shows that the battery is not charging, or that there is no battery at all. You could try to remove the battery for a while and then plug it in again. At start, when the battery voltage is below the normal 4.2V charging voltage, the red led is shown, but when the battery starts charging the led should go out. If this isn't the case, the battery could be broken.
You could also try a search on the forum, this question has been up before
And rather don't leave device to charge for whole night!
I have always left all my phones charging about 75% of the time I am at home (the other 25% is if I am tinkering with it and forget to plug it back in), so they are always 100% when I leave.
This shouldn't be a problem, although I also leave my phones turned on (standby) 24/7 as people mainly call me on my mobile rather than landline.
Has anyone ever had an issue where by their battery life is at say 59% and when i plug it in to charge rather than the blue charging icon appearing it just showing the battery being 100% and the LED doing successive double flashing as opposed to a static LED like i should be if it was charging?
I've not installed anything, flashed a new rom etc, was fine yesterday.
All i did was have a little play with CHTEditor.
somethings not right, it must be something to do with me messing about with CHTEditor
out of the blue my lock screen had gone, and it says i have a voice mail waiting when i dont. haha
Hard reset i think
update...
hard reset not worked...uhoh
Same problem here
I was in a phone call an al of a sudden everything just went black and rebooted. Turns out the phone stopped charging and flasing green and red. Battery ran out of power and the phone shut down. After the reboot the phone charged normally again
Another situation:
Phone started acting up again and endend in a reboot. Battery was empty and i made a phone call on the charger. during the phonecall the same problem happend again, but the battery was at 9%. I intended to unplug the charger and plug it back in, but after the unplug the battery jumped to 0% and shut down.
So, i think the battery is acting up. Having to charge the thing every damn day is finally taking it's toll.

yep, using the original battery, it seems to be ok now, charging as it should.
ahh well. cheers for the reply
one last this, how the hell to i get the lock screen back, i think im being dim.
edit
sorted
I have a program BsB Tweaks that has a setting for the lockscreen. Try that.
My phone is also charging fine when turned off, also it functions fine at the moment. i think it has something to do with overloading the device when the battery is low. Based on that its not possible to turn on any phone when the battery is in attached but the power is, i think everything is drained from the battery while charging it and that when overloading the battery just doesn't pull it anymore.
i don't have a alternative battery, mine is original.
What are the symtoms when the battery is at the end of it's life? does it do this, or is it supposed to give a warning or something?
edit: i am unable to find a manual page describing the different modes the LED could be blinking. I'm curious what is says about the red and green blinking mode. Does such a page exist?
Hello everyone, I'll tell you the ultimate experience even if it is not the first time that happens.
2 days ago I left the nexus to 46% of battery, the next day I found it turned off and the device would not turn on.
by trying to connect to the power turns on but the display flickers constantly and makes a sound as if he were about to explode.
if I leave a little in office and try to turn it on, it lights up with difficulty and then it shuts down suddenly emitting sound louder and have vertical lines and horizontal time.
I'll post a video to make you understand better.
the problem is not to download the battery or something more serious?
sorry for my enghlis, it's made by google!

If you leave it plugged in and don't touch it for a while, does it eventually do anything? Just sounds like the battery is dead to me, although not sure about the weirdness with screen etc.
Leave it plugged in for a while on the original charger/cable and if it doesn't boot up right after 30-60 minutes of charging, you might have to warranty exchange it.
if I leave the tablet plugged into the power outlet for a few minutes (maybe 10) everything is back to normal.
the strange thing is that this problem occurs when the battery drops below 20%

Good to hear! My guess is that it didn't have enough power to really power on, which I don't like in various ways.. First it might mean the battery was overly discharged (when your battery is at 0%, it's still well above minimum LiPoly minimum voltage, but I question that in your case for example) or that something else is kooky.
I'd say charge it to 100% and use it normally, and let it get down to 5-10%, lower if you like... If it continues to behave okay, maybe just a fluke. If it freaks out below 15% or something, warranty it.
After watching that video I would say return it. That looks bad man! Also, what is on the end of your power cable? Looks like a piece of wire or tape or something?

Not sure if it is a bug, or if the screen-pinning is actually working to perfection. IMO it works a bit too well for comfort.
Was playing the most recent riptide game, and to do tricks I usually ended up hitting the hardware touch keys, so I turned on screen-pinning to counter that. Well, apparently you don't receive anything from the system (battery low warning etc...) while it is on, AND the system cannot overrule it. Meaning even if the battery goes to 0%, it won't shutdown/poweroff.
The phone literally turned off in a snap, screen flashed kinda weird colours and puff! Off!
When I tried turning it on, the usual multi-lingual red writing saying battery is low appeared and disappeared in an instant, instead of the usual 1-2 seconds being displayed.
I plugged the Dash charger and the red writing appeared instead of the charging symbol. It took like 3-4 minutes charging before the phone "turned on" to display that lightning/thunder image that informs you it is charging. I think dash charging only activated at that point.
Haven't turned it back on yet. Gonna take advantage of this and charge till 100% for the calibration X_X
I think that the red writing when plugging in your charger actually should be a charging message which however is the same like the low power images (there are two images, one called lowpower, one called charging, both contain the same data)
Running the battery down to completely zero can brick your phone. The phone needs a very slight charge to recharge. The system shuts it down very slightly early because of this. You often see people bricking their phone because they completely discharge in recovery.

yes, discharging completly your battery wont have a positive effect for you - its the other way round.
but if you think you will get a "recalibration" thing or something.. then go ahead and have fun with your placebo effect
