Nougat: Charge stopping randomly / alarm clock sometimes not working - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So i am not sure if this is a nougat issue or something else but recently i have noticed that when i plug my phone in to charge for the night i wake up and see that sometime probably during the night the charing stopped because the phone is at like 60ish % or so and not charging. When i unplug and plug it back in then it charges again normally. This dosen't always happen but from time to time.
Another issue i have been experincing also lately from time to time that my weekday alarm suddenly dosen't sound in the morning. When i go into the clock (google btw) then the alarm is set to on but the little alarm icon is not showing in the statusbar. Turning it off and on again it goes back to normal. But this is highly annoying if my alarm suddenly decides not to go off in the morning despite in the app it showing to be set to on.
Not sure if these issue are related to the nougat update but i have been experiencing these issues only recently (last couple of weeks).
Anyone else have similar issues?

Try different charger and especially cable. For the 2nd question - google alarm clock? Most likely the OS put it to sleep. Go in apps/power management and put the google clock into the exceptions, i.e. never to be put to sleep.

I got today some sort of call stuck, so no notification sound no alarm. I was late to work... Rebooted and sound appeared again. Nougat BTU.

Phone won't wake up after charging all night

Recently i have noticed that if i charge my phone all night it won't wake up in the morning and i have to pull out the battery and have it reset. Any idea what could be causing these hard lock ups? I have also had a few hard lockups randomly but the morning thing seems to be EVERY morning. I was using the omap program to overclock it but i disabled and deleted it. Any ideas?
Check to make sure that your phone still sleep when on external power (e.g. charging) from your Power property of your phone Setting page. Just to see if having it on for the entire night causes the problem.
If not, use any software (capable ones) to look through your notification queues, and see if there are any items that starts every morning to locate the culprit that may have been causing the problem.

Problem in HTC P3400i

Hi, The HTC P3400i which I purchased recently is only 8 days old, in which I am facing some problems as described below:
The skin of phone keypad automatically turns gray, while at the starting it is in sync with the phone theme;
Battery drained automatically, today morning it was on 84% and suddenly it reached on 52%, while during this time I never touched the phone as I was sleeping;
Sometimes it happens that somebody is trying to call me but he hears the message that the subscriber is out of coverage area, while the phone is on. I tried this myself and heard the same. Then I restart the device and everything start working normally.
Alarm notification sound is so slow that the person can't hear it while sleeping, can it be increased
Can somebody please help me on these issues?

1. The skin of the phone turns grey, If any of the themes is changed. (If it is not green). Just change the theme to Windows Default and try again.
2. The battery might be having some problem. Try to replace the battery.
3. Remove the memory card. Go to settings->System->Clear storage....
4. Alarm notifications sound is based on the device volume.....Try to keep the device volume in full.
5. Reduce the brightness of the phone. That will drain the battery a lot

Screen stays on after battery gets fully charged

Got a weird problem with my AT&T stock non-rooted S4. About 4 or 5 times since I got it on release day when I charge my phone and I get the notification that it's fully charged the screen won't turn back off. I use a Belkin Conserve socket that is set to shut off after 3 hours and I've woken up after charging to find the phone dead. I've managed to catch this happen once and when the fully charged notification comes on the screen won't go to sleep, it just stays on and flickers a little bit. For all but one of these instances I had blocking mode on so I'm not disturbed by email or text notifications in the middle of the night. It did happen one time when I didn't have blocking mode on. I use a pin lock for my lockscreen and usually have BeyondPod playing overnight (only one hour long podcast while it's still charging) if that makes a difference. Is the function that enables the screen to stay on when you're looking at it malfunctioning? Any help? I've attached two screenshots of battery life when this happens.

So in settings under the Developer Options, there is a setting "Stay awake" if checked screen will never sleep while charging. Now I see that your Belkin shuts off the power but your phones still detects the usb plugged into a power source.
I think things happen in this order: you hookup your phone to charge and shut off your screen, phone charges to 100% and screen lights up saying fully charged, it stays on because of that setting, Belkin kills the power, it is still hooked up to USB so ... you get the rest.
I would find that setting and disable it.
if your next question is "I don't see developers option" it is hidden by default in android 4.2.2 so to make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap tap tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options. Or Indiana Jones might pop up and give you the cup to get eternal life !!!
Thanks for the reply Commodore64 but I already checked that setting when it happened the first time and it's not checked.

I have this problem as well as my wife's S4. around 3am, I notice our room is bright with our two phones' screens on. It will stay on until the morning.
In the developer's section of the settings, the stay on when plugged in is NOT checked.
Also, on our phones, we notice the phones overheating because the screen is on for hours at a time at night.
I've just spent an hour looking through the internet, and while many report this, they are simply being dismissed by others as in having "checked" the setting in developer section.
Also, when the batttery does get fully charged, the "Battery if full, unplug the power" notification also rings the default notification ringtone. I've installed phoneweaver to set my phone to no sound overnight, but it only stops the sound, the screen still stays on and phone gets really hot.
This is turning out to be a huge problem for us.

Do you use a PIN (number) lock? I did but switched to the pattern unlock and it hasn't happened since. Also, I've been trying to charge only during the day or evening, not overnight. Maybe, since I charge during the day and I use it periodically while it charges it doesn't go into a "deep sleep" like it would if it charges while sleeping and the full charge notification would keep it awake. I don't know exactly why but it hasn't happened since. Hope this helps.

[Q] S5 Dead Overnight

I have the SM-G901F version, 805 processor.
I finished charging my device last night at 100% and took it off before sleep, all was well. I woke up this morning, and it was dead at 0%.
Something similar has happened twice in the past and that is the screen refusing to turn on, and when it does it jitters a lot and says a certain app has crashed. The first time THIS happened, it said nova launcher crashed. The second time, same day, I locked the device while still in whatsapp and the same thing above happened but this time it said WhatsApp crashed, this leads me to believe it's not Nova launcher causing it but you never know. During the time of these crashes when the screen was off, I had rapid battery drain.
This is why I think overnight something like this happened, and since I didn't try and wake it up like the other two times the battery continued to drain. However, I have attached an image of the battery info suggesting that the phone app caused this.
*I close all apps before sleeping, all the time.
*Data off, blocking mode on.
*Never leave it on charge over night
*UK device, only had it for about 1 month.
...
android doesn't need apps to be closed manually.
sometimes its better to backup all your data and start fresh mate. that's will isolate the problem a bit more.

Doze mode problems a OnePlus 5 issue or Nougat?

I'm not sure if my problem is with OxygenOS or Nougat, but I've scoured the internet for months and haven't found an answer
I have two problems that I think are linked to doze mode on my device, and they both occur under the same conditions. First is my alarm clock (Alarm Clock Xtreme) doesn't work in the morning, and second is my Samsung Gear Fit 2 needs manually reconnected each morning. And through troubleshooting I've determined the problem occurs under rather unique conditions. The problem ONLY occurs when my phone is plugged in and sits overnight (so fully charged sometime during the night). Which is most nights, because I want a full battery in the morning.
But if I happen to go to bed and leave the phone unplugged, the alarm clock WORKS in the morning and the smart watch stays connected all night. So unplugged overnight, no problems. Plugged in, alarm clock won't work and Bluetooth connection to smart watch is dropped.
I haven't been able to find an answer in the 3 months I've had my OnePlus 5. Any thoughts?
Specs: OnePlus 5, Oxygen OS 4.5.10, Nougat 7.1.1.
I can also move this post elsewhere if there is a more appropriate area of the forum for this question. But I don't have this problem with my old device.
You can try disabling battery optimization for selected apps.

Thanks, but I already tried that. It doesn't work.
It's probably the apps man if you think about it. Try using a different application and report back.

I actually had another alarm clock app before, that was doing the same thing. And I don't really have an alternate application for the watch.
I've researched this fairly extensively and have only been able to grasp small nuggets of insight. I did find one source on xda (but I can't remember where I saw it) that talked about doze mode acting funny when the phone is plugged in to charge. Basically an inability to wake from doze under certain circumstances.

You can always enable Developer Options and choose the option for the screen to stay awake while charging which should also keep your phone awake. You can also disable Doze completely in Developer Options.

Thanks! I don't want to disable doze, but I might try that other one. My other quick fix I juts thought of is to use a timer switch or smart switch to have the charger shut off after an hour. That's enough to give me a boost, but not fully charge. I tried it last night and everything worked this morning. Though my battery was only at 60%, it was better than nothing.

It's recommended these days to keep your battery charged between 40%—80% to prolong its life and not keep the phone plugged in overnight like in the old days. I charge mine to 80% before going to bed.
If it's actually a Doze issue I don't understand why it wouldn't happen when the phone isn't plugged in. Do you have a screen saver enabled?
Fellow OP5 user here, I have the EXACT same problem.
If I leave the phone charging for long time and doze kicks in, the phone basically shuts down for all purposes until I unlock it with my pattern. Meaning, only the built in alarm (that works even with the phone turned off) will work. Any other (Timely, radio...) won't.
Now here's the kicker: sometimes the deep sleep will cause a weird bootloop, upon which the screen will indefinitely hang on the spinning logo, with the screen turned on, requiring a reboot. And of course this makes the alarm not sound.
This last bit happens at random. If I disable the screen sleeping in Dev options, the alarm will work but when I wake up the pattern input screen would be there, after all night on, which isn't really healthy for the screen.
Turning doze off makes this problem apparently disappear, but I need to investigate some more to draw conclusions. For the time being I sleep without charging, quick charge and the phone's great battery makes it unnecessary to keep it connected all night.
Another fun tidbit of this deep sleep mode: it stops USB tethering. I would have imagined a wakelock in there, but apparently there isn't.
For information : I use vanilla kernel and OOS. I have Magisk on and Gravitybox via Xposed Magisk, but other than that I have nothing particular going on.
I've been hearing that from other sources as well, about not letting it sit overnight on the charger at 100%. Which is why I think I'm gonna keep using the smart switch of my nightstand charger. The OnePlus Dash charging system works great for a quick charge anyways, so having 100% fully charged to last all day long is no longer necessary. I have a normal USB cable at my night stand, so it's a slow charge. If I set the timer to stop after an hour it at least gives me a small charge overnight, without overdoing it. And I have dash charger at work to give me the full quick 20 minute charge that puts me at 60-70%.
No I don't have a screensaver running. It is weird that the phone locks in the doze mode for the alarm and boots me off my watch's BT connection, but only when plugged in and sitting at a full charge for an extended time (haven't stayed awake all night to test just how long it has to sit). But that IS what it IS. Those have been confirmed as the only conditions in which this problem arises. I've been using the smart switch for 3 days now to keep my phone from going to and staying at 100%, and the alarm clock is working again and the watch is staying connected.
It's not that it's a big of a deal for me to have to use a work around like this. I don't mind. But I hate finding a glitch in something and not being able to truly "fix" it. Work-arounds work. But they don't actually solve the problem. This is just a gripe I have in general whenever something like this happens. It's in my nature to want things to work properly. Which is why I haven't had a non-rooted device in at least 5 years. I NEED to have the ability to fix the [email protected]$$ sh1t the software developers and phone manufacturers screw up. Of course, that's probably the number one reason xda exist. This open up the full potential of these devices, because the manufacturers are either too dumb or are financially motivated to not fix things (ahem...Samsung). Thank you everyone who chimed in with advice. I appreciate it.
It has been my experience with this phone so far that doze mode doesn't work. At all. I regularly have widgets that won't update even though I have doze turned off...
Just one of the many annoyances that has me thinking about finally rooting and getting rid of this garbage os...
