I noticed that the phone turns the moment the charger is connected to it (or if the USB cable is attached from a PC that is on). There doesn't seem to be a way to charge the phone with it switched off.
Do the others notice the same behaviour or is this a problem with my Omnia? Is there a way to disable this?
Yeah I have the same thing you cannot charge it while it is turned off. This is true from all the iPhones I have used aswell. It isn't a fault don't worry about it.
I don't know if it can be disabled but why would you want to out of interest?
I tend to charge the phone at night and don't want to receive calls.....

Flightmode is your friend
Settings -> Flightmode on
That cuts all wireless connections, you won't receive calls or SMS at night.
Noticed this too, my phone also reboots when I connect it to a charger too - anyone else had that happen?
With some reading i;ve been doing, *only recently started reading up about li-ion bats* seems they might be on to gain optimal charge / long life at the right voltage.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
might be why...
I'm doing more research into it. But another reason i can think of is, When it's on. Boot up time isn't there. Flight mode is. I use it rather than turning a phone off now, saves turning on the other end, i can play a game, watch a video, listen to music on the plane and charge it on a socket ready for the other end.
Yes, i noticed this issue also... as i remember, in a small book that came with my phone there is written you can charge you phone when its switched off - it will charge faster.. but theres not written how never mind, its like that, and thats the way it is...
Oh this would be bad. I charge my phone at nights too, and have it next to my bed. If the screen would be on it would be too bright to sleep with (I'm a very light sleeper). Hmm...

No, the screen won't be on
The screen turns off after a minute or you can press the standby button manually.
It's just that you can't switch off the phone completely when it is connected to a charger.

Maybe it's some kind of power management that the OS is doing therefore it needs to be on.
Battery life is great on WP7 after all.
It's confirmed by pocketnow.com
the WP7 OS doesn't allow you to charge while the phone is off
I have an TF 32GB + docking.
I have shutdown my transformer completey and removed it from the docking.
When I now plugin the powercord to charge it, the tab always starts up. I dont want that. Is that normal behaviour?
Mine does that as well. I may be wrong ,but i think it charges faster when its turned off, so i often turn it off then plug it in. I need to get into the habit of plugging it in , and then turning it off, I guess.

You can't see if AT is fully charged without see the screen so... that's completely normal, dock has a led that tablet hasn't...
-you choose to shut your tablet down
-you plug power in
-now the tablet acts on its own and powers on
then they should also put a small light on the tablet. my god i'm starting to regret my purchase.
if this is by design then they are completely retarded at asus
Annoying... yes... big deal... no.

How is this annoying in any way? It's not like it'll charge a significant amount slower with the screen off, and with the screen off there isn't a single way to see it's on if you're 12 and won't want your parents to find out it's turned on after bed time.
You people will ***** about ANYTHING.
My iPhone and the iPad did the same thing,
Plug the power cord in and then shut down, this way it will remain off..

So do this instead (still 3 steps):

Better?
i ***** if i feel like it
Its one extra annoying thing. (Like you cant connect to hidden wifi)
These things are designed by a retard.
I don't know whether there is a technical reason for the power on so I will abstain from judging it to be a mental impairment...

Not true. My work wifi SSID isn't broadcasted and I was able to add it to my list and connect easily.
As for the original question...every Android and iDevice I've seen exhibit this behavior.
Maybe you could direct your anger and energy towards the failing economy and make some progress there?
so to reverse only one step (plug then switch off) is for genius

No, it's one step too many. If I run the battery down on my tablet (which I do fairly frequently), then want it to charge as quickly as possible, I shouldn't have to power it back down every time to achieve that.
I'd like to see this behavior changed, and I'm glad to find I'm not the only one irritated by it.
Don't get me wrong -- love the tab, and own two. That doesn't mean there's no room for improvement, though. There's no logical reason to have the tab turn on instantly on charging. (Seeing the charge level doesn't count as a logical reason, because if you're worried about the charge level, you likely don't want to reduce the charging speed to find out the answer -- you likely want it charging as fast as possible until you're ready to leave the charging point.)
I would guess the behavior likely hails from phones, where it actually makes sense. With a phone, you want it active to receive calls all the time, and so starting when you plug it in is logical. With a tablet, it's simply not. Just something Google forgot to correct in Honeycomb, is my guess.

Well OK, then skip the last step. The display will go right back off by itself within the screen timeout. No big deal. My timeout is set to 2 minutes, so I'd estimate that might add a minute or so to the net charging time, worst case.
Can we consider this a thoroughly dead horse?

No, we can't. The display powering off doesn't power off the tablet. It still runs, and hence still charges slower than it should be. With the tablet running (even with the display off), it charges significantly more slowly, as evidenced by the battery graph which gives a clear indication of charge rate.
And from my experience, it occasionally doesn't charge at *all* when running, even when using the factory charger and factory charging cable. (Not sure why, but it's happened a couple of times, and powering off starts it charging.) That glitch makes it even more important that it doesn't start up when plugged in to charge.

All you did was ***** before you got your TF, now you have it and all you do is still *****. You are everything that's bad about the world.
Because people seem to have their panties in a bunch over this one I checked charging rate powered off vs turned on, and it's only 2% less per hour. That's an insignificantly small difference.
I said it before and I'll say it again, you guys will ***** about ANYTHING.
EDIT: The 2% was measured including the extra battery drain I get from starting up the tablet to check battery level every hour.

Hi,
Some custom roms like AOKP allows to enable / disable the "Wake up on charger". If it's unticked the screen don't turn on if you plug / unplug your phone from USB or wall charger.
EDIT: sorry misreading, it's for wireless charging...
I have accomplished this with some Tasker (app) profiles i found on the forum. I have attached them. The profile turns off the screen after 3 seconds of starting charging then prevents it from coming on again. Perfect for inductive chargers that lose charge for a microsecond every little bit. It also keeps the screen off after removing from the charger, you have to manually press the lock button.

Works for me. Screen never comes on after the first three second, which I lowered to one second. have you locked the phone first before you put it on the charger?

I use the orb to charge my N4 at work. This works great until it reaches a full charge. At this point the screen turns on as wireless charging shuts off. Then a minute or so later when it drains to 99%, the screen turn on as wireless charging starts back up. Then when it reaches full charge a minute or so later.... yada yada yada. This is beyond annoying watching my phone flash continuously. My only "solution" at this point is to slide the phone up so that the wireless charging doesn't work and leave it that way until it drains further. Is there any way to tell the screen to NOT come on when charging starts or stops?

How familiar are you with messing with Android?
In system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml there is this option: <bool name="config_unplugTurnsOnScreen">false</bool>
It is set to true by default but if changed to false, as far as I can tell, the screen won't turn on when you start/stop charging the phone.

Yes - best case scenario for editing that value is that you're rooted and deodexed. That way framework-res.apk will be more easily editable.
Hello,
I tried searching around the forums but was unable to find a similar problem, so let me describe the problem:
Plug USB3.0 cable into the phone to charge overnight.
Screen immediately lights up because of the charge connection, I press the power button to turn off the screen
Upon returning a few hours later or the next morning the phone screen is on (all night long)
I have the following settings on the phone:
screen timeout set to 15 seconds
"Stay Awake, Screen will never sleep while charging" is turned off under developer options
phone is NOT rooted
Any other ideas on what's going on here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Interesting, I tried what you suggest...Anytime I get a text the screen does come back on and it now stays on so this doesn't quite do the trick for me.
Thanks!
Mine stays off...sounds like maybe a rogue process. Check and see what has the longest process runtime...If it's a user installed app delete it. That doesn't I'd say factory rest

I was getting this behavior, the screen was turning on and off (basically flashing) when I got a text message. I finally uninstalled Textra and that resolved it.
I haven't tried another 3rd party text app, yet.
My phone Screen stays awake all-night what can I do to fix it ?
What did you do to break it?
Presuming this is new behavior, what did you add or remove?

At the night when I'm charging the phone, the wireless screen saver (or what ever it called) stays on.
and when I wake up my phone is a bit hot.
How do I turn it off only when I charge it wireless?
I own The S8

Sorry for the bad English, It's not my 1st language, If I need to clear something I will try to do my best.

yes.
Is it the AOD that is on?
If so.. That is not the cause that your phone is a bit hot.
That you phone is a bit hot is because of the wireless charging and maybe not original charger which is not lowering the power if the phone is fully charged?

It's not the AOD that on, It's like a special screen saver when you charging (I already turned it off).
The charger is Original, I got it from the Samsung store.
Tyvm, for the help.
You don't need a screensaver. Where did you turn it of?
Go to settings - display. At the bottom is screen saver. Turn that off.
But that is not on with stock settings?
Schedule your always on display to only turn on during waking hours.
Settings-display-screensaver turn it off.

Wow, I had no idea (or forgot) there was such a screen saver...
But I have a similar need, as thread title says, to actually turn off the screen when I place it on wireless charger, so I'll post my current workarounds...
Maybe someone has a better idea...
E.g. I use "Sleep as Android" app to track my sleep over sonar, so from my bed I manually start tracking, lock the phone and place phone on the wireless charger at night, but as soon as I place it on charger, it turns on.
It will sometimes stay on even though the phone is "locked" (similar to how Camera app can work with phone locked) so I have to carefully turn it off manually by pressing power off key (it is Samsung's flat mini wireless charger model (made for S6), not the stand, so it gets slippery to do it from bed).
Currently, I'm using the "Gravity" app that has an option to turn off the screen when phone is placed on wireless charger... But that is an issue since I also have wireless charger in my car and I do NOT want to turn off my display (I use phone for navigation) when I place the phone on my wireless charger in my car...
Luckily, Gravity app has exclude list, so I have excluded maps software that I use in the car...
