It seems like every custom rom removes/disables it - what do people have against it? I think it's pretty helpful getting an alert when the battery is charged.
Unless I'm misunderstanding something.
Some people are light sleepers, and when it pops up it makes a noise and wakes them up usually at around 2:00 in the morning, and nobody likes that lol

Because a lot of people enable "stay awake", plug their phone in to charge, then hit power to manually put it to sleep. No idea I it does it on Froyo but on Eclair the full battery message would wake up the phone and the screen would stay on. Do it enough and you will have a full battery dialog burned into your screen.
I personally hate popups in general: that's why I have a notification bar.

It doesn't bother me any, but those who use their phones as a bedside alarm clock and charge their phone at night have grown to hate it.

Exactly, and it wakes me up at night.
its annoying on 1000 different levels, even if you don't enable stay awake.
eg:
1. you plug in your phone to charge, go to sleep. 2 hrs in, you hear a sharp beep sound that wakes you up. ...
2. same as 1, but now you've forgotten to face the phone down and the screen on the epic is also on. shines a pretty bright light against the wall... that keeps you up. ...
3. You remembered to put your phone facing down so the screen doesn't shine against the wall when the notification comes on AND the beeping didn't wake you up luckily. Your alarm comes on, you're half asleep and you want to turn the alarm off. Guess what? you have to go through another step and click "ok" for the notification and THEN turn off the alarm.
4. you're plugging in your phone while you're using. It fully charges. BAM! the notification comes on. Intrusive! (this is why even iphone people who like iOS complain about their notification system)
This is why I hate the notification. Worse:
5. IT DOES NO GOOD. What's the point? All the above problems and there is seriously no positive trade off. Just throw a stupid icon on the notification area if they want a feature telling people their battery is full so much. Even better: easy option to disable the notification.
stupid samsung.
I was thinking the same thing this morning until I had it pop up on me for the first time in a long while (new rom)

No, because if someone needs me ASAP in the middle of the night then I want to be alerted of a text or call. (Differing reasons, but in the past: bail friend from jail, booty call, drive a drunk friend home, family member had a car accident, etc.)
I personally use my phone as my alarm clock, but the Eclair alarm clock allows alarms to override silent mode which is nice. So this isn't truly a factor for me hating it.
I really dislike the pop up and alert noise as a whole. Seeing the blue LED light is enough for anyone to see it's fully charged.

Ya, i hate it, when i hear annoying beaping noise even when my phone is on vibrate i hear it, thank god its gone!!
I'm surprised anyone would wonder why so many people hate the battery full popup/sound.
I hate it because I use my phone as an alarm so I sleep next to it, I charge my phone when I go to bed, and I'm a light sleeper so the damn thing wakes me up if I don't fall asleep right away.

Here's a question: Does anybody actually like this popup? It's one thing not to dislike it, but is there anyone who really gets upset when it's gone?
Turn the darn beep sound off by going to settings>sound>volume>system volume and slide it all the way off. The rest of your sounds will still work, like the phone ringer etc., but the full charge beep won't wake you up anymore.

I think this is the best response in the thread. I disable it (thanks devs!) so I don't have to see it/hear it. Why would Samsung even put it in here. Do other Samsung Touchwiz phones have this "feature".
If Samsung is really bent on having it, at least give users the option to disable it.

Dude. Seriously. Here's the nice response from me:
We use our phones differently and what works for one does not work for another and as long as it is not harming someone else or someone else's loved ones, we should never force our lifestyle onto others.
I was going to let you read my original response but then I caught myself assuming that you were closer to my age. For all I know, you are 12 and these questions and assertions you make are perfectly reasonable for someone of that age. So, I'll be nice just in case.

ok so i set my alarm for 7:00am this morning and it just didnt go off...luckily my mum woke me up anyway but still its very unreliable...anyone else had this issue? maybe its linked to my sms message problem? thanks
the alarm on my X1i has been working flawlessly and waking me up every day at the specified time of 7am...i wish mine didn't work so i wouldn't have to wake up that early!
Be sure to have "Let Alarmsignal ring, even if the device is turned on silent or vibrate only" (i dont know what the official text is but im just losely translating from english.
You should find this option with the Clock and Alarmsignal settings under the Tab More.
Also i suggest setting 2 or 3 alarms.. maybe that will help.. ;P
Mine too, some times it simply doesn't go off (specially if more than one alarm are set).
i wake up before it has to anyway but it's still annoying!
and no, that option doesn't help at all, i tried it.
I'm using the free G-Alarm since October last year and it reliably woke me up every morning.
Maybe you want to try it: www.ageye.de

been using G alarm. no problem.
G Alarm has already failed me twice... helping me get late for work!

Sorry to say that, but it seems to be your fault then.
G-Alarm works reliable and fine.
Just be sure the alarm is set active and at the right days and the ringtone is available and set to 100% volume.
Also let G-Alarm fix the Windows Mobile Alarm Bug and force to put the sound through the speaker even if the phone's set to silent or vibrate only.
Did you tell it to ring EVERY DAY? I forget this every "first" time on a new phone and the alarm dows not work. It only rings when you tell it to do.
I knew it wasn't just me!
Sometimes it will go off fine
Sometimes it will just vibrate and then do nothing else
Other times it won't go off at all
I can't seem to find a pattern to it, it just seems completely temperamental and is far to unreliable.
As for g-alarm that's far too annoying. It went off while my phone was on silent on a train. Had loads of puzzles and mazes and doesn't stop ringing until you have done them. I pulled out the battery, turned it back on and the alarm went off before the phone had even booted up!
sometimes this problem occurred for me with the custom roms being developed but with the original and the r2a roms I have not had an issue
yep, done all that and i have wm all fine tuned, and as i said, only failed twice over a month or so on a week day configuration with no changes made to it, but enough for me to not fully trust it anymore, be it problem with G Alarm or windows problem...

You can turn those snooze games off , it's just if you want it to really wake you up . Anyway G-Alarm works well for me so far. With the standard I had issuses, even on my older Magician. This one period it only sounded this ding sound repeatadly and refused to play the sound file which of course was in place. Weird stuff, but G-Alarm is awesome, it even allows you to set random MP3s from a playlist you set up. Waking up with a different DnB tune every day
Yes i have a feeling ill have the same issue as Elusivo...no alarm whether it be the standard or g-alarm will be 100% reliable on my X1. Glad i'm not alone but quite annoyed because that is one of my most important things...this along with text messages not always sounding or being displayed until messinging is opened up makes the phone a little difficult to love sometimes.
To me it seems everyone's X1 is slightly different....some have physical issues like cracking etc, whilst others have things that don't work as well as someone elses X1. I find it very strange. I guess these are my issues!

as far as i remember, i also faced this on my SE P910i, also same problem!

i will try GAlarm, let's see.
+1 for G-alarm here.
I tried several different progs before settling with G.
I cannot think of an instance where it has let me down, without it being my own stupid fault.
As said before, you can switch off the mazes and puzzles, and just use it as a standard alarm, with/without snooze.
Best piece of freeware i have got, i think.
Why does WinMo standard alarm suck so badly?
Have MS forgotten to update it all this time?

You have any idea how i can add in me xperia more alarm tone.?
I have never had any problems with the alarms. They are right on time.
i tried mine set for this morning. no problems yet. ill test it a whole week or so and see how it goes.
standard nam rom for my x1a.
I gave up on the built-in alarm and I've been using SPB Time which I'm very happy with!
Anyone else getting click drift with the dell? It sometimes drifts by 10 minds Really annoying when your alarm is set for 6:10. The other day I was setting of for the train home looked at my phone to see how quick I had to walk and it told me I was late and had just missed it. When I got to the station I hadn't at all the click had drifted 10 mins....freaky
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
Should get my Streak later today so will let you know how it fairs in this regard!
It's a bug/hardware fault.
if you pull out the power cable from the device it'll randomly add 15 minutes onto the time.
Other effects may include, setting the vibrate on and sending the device into a fit.
plus it may kill the vibrate mode as well so that the device doesn't vibrate until you receive a phone call.
the only solution I've found for the above problems is that you have to turn the power off before you unplug the phone.
I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix but I'm trying it for the next few days to see if it works, else the phone is going back.
Mine has gained time once before, it is set to 'get time updates from cell'.
I think the cell may have been putting out a duff time because never seen this problem with internet time, or auto-update time off settings.
Not experienced the streak doing any of the weird vibro fit you describe either.
Maybe seperate issues?
Same here with both Streak's regardless what settings I use. Not very handy since I always use the alarm app. Design flaw....
Yep, same here
Initially I thought it was to do with the fact that I had not set it to "internet time" (or whatever it is called). I was set on "O2 time" (or whatever it is called)
However whichever one it is on, I have seen this problem. Alythough saying that... have only noticed it twice and I have had my Streak since "O2 Day1"
Whether this happens more than I notice it does, and it corrects itself (?) I don't know.
I'm surprised I haven't seen a thread on here about reception issues. My 3G goes in and out , from 4 bars to 1 and even zero bars at times while the phone is staying in the exact spot. does anyone thing this is a hardware or software issue?
The lock screen totally lags. it's almost ridiculous I have about 4 frames for the entire animation of it sliding left to right
I can't figure out a way to make the SMS limit per conversation over 1000. The phone keeps deleting my texts =( Is there a way around this I'm missing ...?
Love the phone it just seems like there's a few REALLY silly stupid problems with it .
Edit:
My voice search just will not search my contacts... I noticed it will only find contacts which are synced with Google, however even though i have my options to sync my contacts. i still only have 5/173 of my contacts synced.
For some silly reason there is ONE person ( that i know of) who's facebook profile was not downloaded into my phonebook . I only care for the picture ID .. but it's odd every one else (whom i know of) was downloaded other than him, spoke to him there's nothing special about his profile.
Edit 2:
Has anyone noticed a clicking sound which sometimes happens whenever the camera is opened? It sounds as if something near the camera is physically clicking
any other droid 2 owners have these problems?
You're totally right about the 3G going in and out. I'm in my basement and when I'm on a call, it actually drops. Last night I called my g/f back from my house phone, and the bars jumped from 1 back to 4. Sometimes I get that 1X instead of 3G.
The phone totally has potential, I just hope a root comes out soon and we have a lot of room to play with. I came off the Motorola Cliq to the Droid 2 and honestly, even with my Cliq rooted, it seems way superior to the quality I'm getting on the Droid 2.
Let alone that the service provider is Verizon, the service should be the best... The only good thing I can say about the phone is that I'm able to watch flash videos off the web, and the new games coming out are actually playable without lag. Other than that, Tethering without root is like having PDAnet on my phone. I use EasyTether right now and it's not much faster that PDAnet. I also hope when root drops, j_r0dd from modmymobile gets his hands on it, I missed my white on black theme and I prefer the Droid X bootanimation on my start up.
have you tried the manual update to 2.2.20? I experienced the signal bug having my reception drop to 1x while it was 3g a minute before and the phone wasn't moved, but after i did the manual update to 2.2.20 by going to system -> software update i haven't seen it since.
With the unlock screen, I at first noticed lag but after reading motorolas recommendations on how a smartphone is like a computer and it should be shut off / rebooted occasionally, i did shut down a couple times and the phone is very smooth now and the unlock animation is perfect.
try shutting down the phone and unplugging the battery for a little and then put the battery back in and let it boot up. I believe the phone uses some kind of cache system that loads up frequently used items on startup, maybe that is why its smooth now.

The update did nothing for me =/... I've rebooted countless times, still nothing , the next thing that really aggravates is the text message limit... smart phones are supposed to have practically unlimited sms/phone book storage. I still can't find a way around it .
Biggest problems are the reception issues, considering it's most probably a hardware issue and no update will fix it=(

I don't know what to say, it was laggy when i first got the phone and after a few shutdowns and restarts over a couple days and a shutdown battery pull for 10 minutes and a reboot and its been perfect ever since. seems like you don't know what your doing.
Bull****. The slider to answer calls is smooth. The lockscreen is not and rebooting it does not fix it. Post a video so I can believe you. I even reset the phone and it didn't help.

I've had my Droid 2 since the release day, my first Verizon phone. I have to agree with the lock screen lag, but I have noticed something interesting with the reception issues. I'm new to verizon so I don't know if this happens with other verizon android phones but when I first wake the phone up from sleep I have one to no bars then 5-10 seconds later I usually have 4-5 bars. It seems as if the cdma radio/software goes into a type of power save mode durring sleep to save on battery power. If this is the case I can imagine the issue could be something to do the the power save mode hanging when the system wakes up, also power save mode could be a little too sensitive.
Now my inferences are completely unfounded in any knowledge other than my observations, and some basic knowledge of porting android to my old Att Tilt. If there is someone out there who knows more please correct me as I would love to stand corrected.

yes there is a little clicking sound when you go to the camera. If you look into the camera lends as you open the camera app you can see it sorta move a tiny bit so there might be some protectivething over the camera lens somewhere inside there but that is just a guess.

your asking for a lot right now. I'm not 100% sure what yours looks like but my animation at first was choppy. I noticed it the first couple times I used my phone. However after a few shutdowns and battery pulls the lock screen seems to be pretty smooth and it follows my finger with no lag.
I have also removed all the Motorola widgets from my home screens, not sure if that had something to do with it.
The 2.2.0 update did nothing whatsoever to fix my signal issues. Still getting wide variations in coverage and signal (1bar 1x RTT to 1 bar 3g to 3-4 bars 3g all from the same spot in multiple areas)
Have you tried using another launcher like launcher pro, it fixed the lag with my unlock screen, I think the blur uses up too much memory.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
The update did nothing to fix my signal issues. I don't have a problem with lag except in the gallery.
I called customer server to complain about the reception problems. The rep I talked to said Verizon is aware of the reception problems, but they aren't sure if it's the phone or the network.
He said there are other people in my area complaining of reception problems that don't have the Droid 2. He also mentioned something about areas that were mostly Alltel that are having problems. He did something on his end that is suppose to block some kind of signal having to do with Alltel and had me run the PRL update again, he said it could take up to 2 days for me to notice a difference if that was the problem.
I was also told to log each dropped call by dialing ### send.
I noticed something odd, yesterday I did a factory reset, after rooting. When I started to set everthing up I turned off the battery manager in settings, and since then it appears if all my reception issues have disappeared.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

Yeah, if you go to settings, battery manager, battery mode, and set it to performance. Let me know if you notice anything different.

3G only shows and lights up if data transfer is occurring or if you have no 1X signal. The signal bars jump because the radio is not always transferring data (over 3G) and therefore you see it grab the signal (0-1 bars) then get full signal (3-4 bars depending on coverage of course) and once finished, bye bye.
This saves you battery. It is truly a SMARTphone. It also keeps bandwidth available to those also using a Motorola D2 and wondering the same thing.

the phone has a mechanical shutter. hence the amazing pictures. it IS physically clicking. it's pretty sweet.
So I've been using the Nexus S for about one month now, my very first smartphone. Discaimer: I'm a NOOB to the core. I never rooted my phone, never thought of it.
I'm pulling my hair out at the following long list (and counting) of bugs and glitches I've noticed with my phone:
1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones)
2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery)
3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call
4) pictures in the gallery come and go
5) The list of apps I downloaded disappear from "my apps" list in Android market
6) when I select a call from the call log, the phone dials a different contact
7) after using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode does not restore signal and 3G data
What's very frustrating is that all of these bugs seem to come and go randomly, without any "patterns" or "triggers." I've restarted the phone, and the issue I was having seems to go away, only to lead to another one a while later. I am wondering if any of these issues are known problems. Also, are these problems more likely to be software or hardware issues?
I'm running
Android 2.3.4
Baseband version I9020AUCKD1
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-ge382d80
Build number GRJ22

You know, half the time i wouldn't even take note of the OP username and just go ahead and try to help, but you caught on to something here. Oddball username, 1 post and very unusual (really far out) problems/issues...
hmmm
1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones) - Probably user error. Or you're using apps that keep conflicting with your setup.
2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery) - Manually turn screen off after a given set of time, chances are, your bag is pressing up against the phone when you place it in and the phone keeps pressing buttons (My guess).
3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call - I had this problem before, are you using Google Voice with integration?
4) pictures in the gallery come and go - Depends on the size of the images, the phone can only read so much data from SD card at a time. I assume you're not giving it enough time to load everything or you have a .nomedia file somewhere that's hiding your pictures from being shown.
5) The list of apps I downloaded disappear from "my apps" list in Android market - It's a known bug with some Market builds. Downloading another app or giving it a minute will usually fix the problem.
6) when I select a call from the call log, the phone dials a different contact - This is weird. Do you have a custom dialer app from the market that may have this bug? I played with my phone out of box a few days and nothing like this happened.
7) after using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode does not restore signal and 3G data - If you're in a weak signal area, it can take longer to gain 3G back. If it doesn't come back within 2 minutes, I suggest a reboot. I also suggest doing a profile update, PRL update, and firmware update (as Google has sent an OTA with bugfixes) to see if these problems can be fixed.
The only bug I experienced since I've got my Nexus S is that the Screen won't respond for a little while after unlocking my phone.
I didn't had the time yet to analyze the problem more detailed, maybe this also happens due to a specific widget? I don't know. I got a lot of them all over my four different home screens.
No response from OP yet people continue to respond. I think the fecal fan has left the building.

Judging by the quality of the posts in this thread, I find it rather ironic that I'm being accused of being a troll. First time posting and where is the love?
I will respond to pretty much the only useful reply I got in this thread so far.

1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones) - Probably user error. Or you're using apps that keep conflicting with your setup.

Please define what you mean by "user error." I don't know of any apps that can change the global notification ringtone.

2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery) - Manually turn screen off after a given set of time, chances are, your bag is pressing up against the phone when you place it in and the phone keeps pressing buttons (My guess).

Nope. The same thing happened when my phone was sitting face up on my desk.

3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call - I had this problem before, are you using Google Voice with integration?

No I'm not using GV.

4) pictures in the gallery come and go - Depends on the size of the images, the phone can only read so much data from SD card at a time. I assume you're not giving it enough time to load everything or you have a .nomedia file somewhere that's hiding your pictures from being shown.

Nexus S does not have an SD card slot AFAIK. I gave it plenty of time to load everything. I wouldn't expect my phone to require 5 minutes to load pictures. I own a smartphone, not a 486. On reboot, some pictures show up that weren't in the gallery before. After subsequent reboot, some other random pictures disappear.

I understand 3G can take longer, but it seems fishy that my cell signal doesn't come back. I waited more than 2 minutes and I ended up HAVING to reboot (twice in fact) to get both 3G and cell reception back.
Oh yeah, just yesterday, I experienced my first encounter with the mythical "search button of death" bug. Yay.
perform a hard reset and it should be fine
could just be u got a bad phone. i've never had or heard of any of those issues on the forums. your factory warranty is good for a year.
Dude what the f**k is up with your username??? god damn what the hell is wrong with people...
the only error that has been reported is the images missing. the rest are probably your fault or you're doing something wrong. if you love **** so much go buy the iPhone

Dude might just have a scat fetish. It is not up to us to judge one's idiosyncrasies. Heaven loves us all the way we are.

Yes this happens. BUT.... only when you mount the phone via USB and do not disconnect it properly. The phone doesnt have time to scan for your set ringtones, and therefore defaults it to some random mp3 or whatever.

Due to what i said above as well. This is a HUGE bug.
Every other problem you have is either user-error or an issue from your telco.
Have you done a factory reset of the phone? You may even have a virus. Just read somewhere that Android is the most targeted platform for them as of now.
Hello. I had a quick question, does anyone else get those vibrations with no notification at all. When my phone is on vibrate, it will vibrate with nothing in the status bar. I have no idea what's causing this. When it's not on silent I makes the notification sound, still no idea what's causing it. I checked notification settings, I don't have anything blocked. I can't figure out what's causing these ghost notifications. It's driving me nuts. Happens at least 15 times in a 24 hour period...

It has happened to me many times also? Are you on the beta? I am, and im also running greenify with adb permissions, i dont know if that has anything to do with it. I know its not the smart alert or whatever it is where when you pick up your phone if you have an unread message it will vibrate because there is never a message when it does it. The other night my wife literally thought i was hiding something because it happened so many times and there would be nothing on my phone like i hurried and erased it lmao!

That's hilarious as my wife says the exact same thing lol. I'll check that setting that's for reply bud. O think do I have to set to vibrate with an unread.

Haha yea at least it is not just my wife. I checked my smart alert and its on but i dont think it has to do with that. My smart alert does work correctly though. Since responding to your pist yesterday it has not happened to me though? Im gonna keep digging into it, because i dont want to get in anymore trouble lmao ?
