Boy, I'd like to turn this off. I charge my phone overnight on my nightstand. Sometime in the middle of the night it will turn the screen on, and stay on, with a message indicating that it is fully charge and that requires dismissal. Maybe someone can come up with a hack.
I think it's quite annoying as well, but the screen shouldn't be staying on from an alert. Are you running "No Lock" or something equivalent?
I also find the pop up annoying, but my phone turns off the display after a while... Leaving the screen on just sounds stupid...
On a Vibrant, using this app-thingy
I too would like to turn it off as it vibrates loud as heck when the alert pops up, and I am a light sleeper!
Subscribe! This notification interferes with my Night Clock and I REALLY want to know how to turn it off!
I have the "stay awake while charging" checked in Settings>Applications>Development
So, once it pops up then the screen stays on.
Yes, this annoys me to no end. I hope they create a setting with future updates. Otherwise, I wonder if the clock / desk dock allows you to turn off the screen without these notifications?
Also, has anyone even downloaded the desk dock app? I'm actually kind of disappointed that the screen won't dim any further. Even on 'night mode' it's extremely bright.
+1 for "I hate it". It's pretty stupid. Samsung needs to make this toggle-able in an OTA update.

curious where you saw a desk dock app?
Go to Android Market. Search for 'Samsung'.
There are two apps that - for whatever stupid reason - weren't included: 'Desk Home' and 'Car Home'.
They look kind of tacky, compared to Google's stock apps. I'd much prefer those, to be honest. But hey, they work. You can voice dial very easily, using the Car Home app. Pretty handy.
Try this: go to Tmobile my account app, select the alerts tab and turn off battery warning.

You are joking, right?....
Its fine to charge the phone while its on just not good to use it while charging. As for the pop up that's to make the phone more "green". Trickle charging can waste a lot of electricity so phone manufacturers put that in there, my Cliq did it too.

It is fine to use it while it is charging, too.
i personally dont mind the notification, but i keep my vibrant in the G1 sleeve case that came with it because it fits perfectly in there. my screen shuts off after 30 seconds of the notification. i'm sure in a future update samsung may address this, but until then, its really not that big of a deal, just my opinion
This damn notification is driving me nutz! It is interfering with my Bedside app and freezes my alarm so it doesn't go off in the morning. At least that's all I could link it to.
The battery charge is self managing. So I am not sure why Samsung thought that this popup was even necessary. It is not like leaving the charger connected is going cause any harm.

Yeah, it IS that big a deal. Maybe not to you, but to the rest of us. I use the Digital Clock app and keep the phone awake at night (you can set the screen really dim on that clock) for my alarm clock. Well, while the battery notice doesn't interfere with the alarm it is very bright and just the light wakes me up.
And I like my phone fully charged when I wake up, not down 10% because of whatever sleep processes ate electrons in the middle of the night. Especially since Samsung tried to make an iPhone wanna-be (physically) and made it so slim instead of putting a decent battery in it.
Ok, before I get flamed, I've been trying to search to find a solution to this problem. I read somewhere about there being a software glitch when you power off the phone while plugged in.
Well I did that by mistake and now my phone battery indicator totally doesn't work. The phone shows half charged even when full, even within settings. What can I do other than reflash? I tried to delete battery stats in rom manager but I don't think that will work because I have ryan zas lag fix installed. Can someone help me?

I pulled battery out and the phone still the same, ugh.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yea the phones battery indicator is off. Nothing you could do about it. I use a widget called "Batterylife" by CurveFish.
It works great and pretty accurate.
The solution is to root your phone and replace framework-res http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758797
WARNING: Rooting your phone will void your warranty. Messing with the phone's filesystem and configuration presents a risk of bricking your phone, proceed with your own risk.
Just to clarify. I've never had this problem before, and its not the same as the battery indicator just being off. I'm not even getting the battery full pop up when plugged in and the settings show the actual percentage never full. I do however get normal battery life out of it regardless of what battery life shows, and I'm not just talking about the icon!
This started after powering off and then on while charging. The big green samsung battery icon popped up prior to the phone restarting and that was the start of this going on. I read about this issue on a prior thread but can't find it for the life of me, either when searching galaxy and vibrant using the search function. I want a mod, just the stock battery function as it was before.
Thanks for any help!

Did you try flashing one of the more accurate battery indicators? Check out the ones in Themes section. They have the battery % and are either stock looking or circular. That might reset the indicator.
you can also recalibrate the battery following the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765656
I'm going to try the calibration method, thanks for the good suggestions

I got got the phone the day it came out and i use battstatt widget and i realized that the battery never fully charges...it always at 99%..and when i unplug it it drops done to like 95% right away..anyone else having this problem??
I haven't noticed it on mine, but coming from the Droid Incredible, I'm a little familiar with battery charging problems. Try this. Charge the battery, with the phone on, until it shows as fully charged. Then, unplug it, shut the phone off, and plug it back in, and see if it continues to charge. With the Incredible, it will charge for another hour before it hits the full mark.
Yes, I am having the same "issue" and it is not resolved with "bump charging" (turning off the phone, charging until full, pulling out plug, plugging back in...repeating several times).
However, the battery life is stellar compared to the Incredible.
I did notice that right after unplugging mine this morning, my battery widget showed it at 98% right away. I'll have to keep an eye on that, and see how that behavior progresses. But I must say, it seems to be doing quite well, even with what I consider heavy use (i.e. playing with it constantly throughout the day, as I'm tweaking it, installing more apps, etc.). I'll have to see once my work week gets going, since I have work email push-syncing to this thing via TouchDown, but so far it looks like I won't have a problem getting through a whole day with it with my normal use.
My battery is fully charging, but the phone seems to stop and start charging, rather than trickle charge. Screenshot from juiceplotter is attached.

Am I missing something here? Why is there no "battery life" data under the "about phone" settings menu on this phone? I see use broken down by source and an indicator of whether it's charging or not, but no percentage remaining, voltage or temperature data like on other android devices. What gives? Do I HAVE to install an app to get this info on the fascinate?
ie. why doesn't this show up on the phone? http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/2236/dscn0042r.jpg
Yes I've been noticing too that the battery indicator can be very off, I've been watching it very closely. Cases such as yours where it thinks its more full than it really is, and cases where the indicator even JUMPS up. Once the battery thinks it's full, it will not charge further leaving you undercharged all the time.
So far I've got I think I've got it working, and have yet to notice any issues. I previously noticed that the battery indicator seems to be more accurate when the phone is off. So what I did is: I completely discharged the phone, then fully charged the phone without turning on the phone. Now been using it, haven't had any obvious issues with faulty battery indicator and I really feel that it's charging completely now. On a sidenote, I think charging with a laptop can throw it off, so always try to use the AC adapter. Hope it works for you too if you give it a try.

I get the same from juice plotter. I have read certain battery types should not be continually charged after they reach 100%. This appears to be a safe guard.

This happens when battery level is below like 30% on my HTC Evo. I am using a customized ROM (Supersense). Whenever the battery reaches 30% remaining, it doesn't drop. However, if I use the phone for a while and restart it, the battery shows only 10%. Clearly, some of the battery management program does not work properly. Is it a bug related to battery itself (hardware) or ROM (software)? Anyway to fix this?
You could try charging your phone up fully then go into recovery and delete the battery stats(Under Advanced in CWM), unplug your phone and use it until it discharges fully and shuts off. Finally, recharge the phone fully again once it has died. I believe this will calibrate the software that monitors your battery or something like that. You can find more specific instructions on the net if you want. Some people like to bump charge and everything else to try to get it perfect but I never found the need to go to that extreme.

Download "battery left" from the market and it will recalibrate your battery. Also yes, I would reset battery stats as well but battery left will actually recalibrate it. Battery stats is how long the phone has been on, what's using the most battery, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Just boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
I had this problem once.
All I did was download "Battery Left" as VICODAN said and I flashed this zip that I got from somewhere on this site but I forget where. I had to change the updater-script and the binary but either way it works on our Shift. Charge to 100% and flash this, then with Battery Left install use the phone till it dies and after that, you should be golden.
battery calibration
U can try the app battery calibration also in the market. If you're rooted.
*Since we're talking about batteries.
I wish our phones would beep or set off an alarm when charged to 100%.
I was keeping battery calibration just for that, it has that option but only worked maybe 1 out of 20 times the alarm went off.

Love the app, so when i got to sleep or I am going to calibrate, I just open the calibration app throw it on charge, it beeps I hit calibrate unplug and done. That way I don't have to open the app when It's 100% or with early morning fuzzy eyes and fingers that don't work right

Hi all,
New to the forum. Sorry if somebody has already posted something similar. Tried to search but could not find any.
The reason I am here:
Yesterday night before going to the bed, my phone battery was >80% charged. In the morning I found my phone switched off. I had to restart the phone using the power button. The battery was at about 40% down when I turned it on.
I dont use the phone much through out the day, so it uses around 20% in a day(morning to night).
There is nothing unusual that I can see in the battery usage stats. Attaching screen shots for reference.
The graph shows a sudden decrease in the battery power. I am not sure if any sofware can consume so much of power in such a short time, unless there is a hardware issue or the battery readings themselves are incorrect.
This is the third time in the last 5 days that I found my phone powered off in the morning with a sudden fall in battery power.
I am using the stock android 4.2.2 with all the updates applied.
Can anybody please help me understand whats going on?
When it drops straight down it signals either a reboot or a power off. Something is causing your phone to turn off (obviously), it isn't just a battery drain issue. That said, it shouldn't drop that much if it is off.

Thanks josh, is there a way to debug whats trigerring the shutdown? What worries me is the sudden power drop? Could this be a harware issue?
There might be some safety mechanism which will shutdown the phone in case it finds the battery current is extremely high. I am just guessing.

The battery % indicator isn't completely accurate so whenever you reboot your device it tends to show as a lower value than before you rebooted it. I find that whenever I reboot my device the instant drop is then offset by a slower than normal drain as shown by the indicator. Obviously the drain is no different but this is just what the indicator is showing.
I wouldn't worry about the drop itself so much, just what has caused the reboot. I can't help you there so maybe someone else has an idea on how to figure that out, good luck!
Try flashing the stock image again; efrant's guide in my signature is the best & most educational way to go about it..
P.S. overheating will shut the phone down. Maybe some rogue app misbehaving? Long shot but could be it. Search for betterbatterystats here in xda, see if some app produces some crazy wakelocks. If not, go back to the top..

You can monitor with betterbatterystats.
And if you are rooted you can check the root features in advanced settings to see any alarm that occur.
This will help you debug the problem.

I wouldnt be worried about the battery drain.. That is usual for your situation as you hardly use your phone, the battery reading isnt always accurate and is most accurate after a reboot.
If your reallt worried. Reflash stock images fromm Google. Don't use toolkits and learn something about fastboot and your phone.
