I always used to shut down my Nexus 5 before bed and put it on the charging pad. This phone turns back on when I do that. Only work around is to put it on the pad and then turn it off, which is not always easy. Why does it do that? Is there a setting I am missing?
I think it is an android feature for the last few years. I haven't found a fuction to turn this feature off but you can put it to charge and then switch it off and won't turn on again.
same with wired charging
Yeah thats normal, indication that its plugged in and charging. I know Nexus did not do that and I always wished it did.

I've been told that charging the Titan while off is the best way - so the battery resets or something. I don't know if you have to do this everytime or just once and a while.
but i found that I turn my phone off, then while it's charging - it will mysteriously turn itself back on. The battery is not full yet, it just will randomly turn on.
So Is there a way to keep the phone off while charging? (I'm using a wall HTC adapter)
There is no reason to charge with the phone off. Also are you really turning the phone or or putting it in standby.
I hold the power button down till it says 'turn off , yes/no" and I push yes.
by the way what is standby?
push power button to turn phone screen off.
Some winmo phones turn on by itself, the titan and TP are 2.
I use S2U2 to lock the phone so the phone closes itself at a set time.
IMO, turning off your cell phone to charge ruins the point of having a cell phone for the time its off. Even if the phone's off, it'll still be draining a little energy.
Standby:
Phone is on. You press the power button breifly once. Phone screen turns off and phone goes into a low power mode.
Off:
Phone is on. You press and hold the power button and tap Yes when the dialog box asks if you want to turn off the phone. Phone then turns off completely.
If my phone is charging off a PC via USB it will sometimes awake from standby on its own. It doesn't do this when using just a charger. It does not turn on by itself though if fully turned off.
I only turn off my phone to charge if I want it to charge a little bit faster.
Sweet thanks for the replies.
I was just curious. But it turns out that my phone kept turning on, because my charger was on it's way out for some reason.
Tested it and it was only charging at a rate 50mA way less than the 1A label. And it was always super hot. So got a new one, problem solved, glad it didn't fry my phone

what you're referring to is calibrating the battery. to calibrate the battery, you need to charge your phone to 100%, let it die, then charge it to 100% while the phone is off. calibrating your battery resets the sensors inside which provide all the information about your battery, including remaining battery life. definitely a good thing to do every once and a while and you'll notice the difference
There aren't sensors inside the battery.
My focus was working fine for the last 2 weeks. Last night I plugged it in, and went to bed.
This morning I woke up to a blank screen with a battery logo on it. When I pressed power button the phone didn't go on.
I changed charges, chords, etc. After a number of presses I got it turned on. Now when I hold down the power button it says goodbye but then instantly reboots instead of staying off.
Before I hard reset, anyone run into this?
Seems that the phone will always turn on when plugged in.

I second this. I can't remember if it is "officially" stated anywhere; but no one has said they turn off when plugged in.
I see the same issues. It will not stay off when charging.
It also seems to refuse to charge sometimes. I have mixed results, I have unplugged, removed battery, re-inserted battery and re-plugged, it restarted. I went to diagnostics, dialed *#2*#, this brings up the battery info, it takes a really long time to see if it is taking a charge. I think I see better results on the AC adapter instead of the PC USB port.
It charges MUCH faster on the wall charger. USB is so slow and so flaky they really shouldn't even claim it charges off the USB. USB is really for syncing and nothing else. Windows phones have always been that way as far back as I can remember.
A couple of weeks ago I came home from work and picked up the case my Samsung 10.1 tab was in. Curiously, it felt warm to the touch. When I took my tab out of the case, it was on! Now, I know I turned it off before I placed it in the case. How could it have turned on by itself? And aren't these things supposed to turn themselves off after awhile?
Today, I had my SGTab plugged in to charge for several hours. It was turned off. A couple of minutes ago I was sitting at my computer when I heard a familiar beep. I turned around to where I had my tab plugged in, and much to my surprise it had turned itself on. I noticed that the battery now read 100%. Usually when I unplug my tab it is at 98 or 99% charged. Is is supposed to beep and come on automatically when it reaches 100% charge?
Has anybody else experienced this?
You probably just have a tech-ghost that likes to mess with you. Just ignore it and it will eventually get bored and go elsewhere.
Seriously though, no. That is odd.
Mine turns itself on as well.
I mentioned this in another thread that I started, but mine seems to think USB items are being connected frequently, even when it is not plugged in, or when it is plugged in to power.
If I ever try to power it off, it defiantly powers back on seconds later.
Keep your tab handy and watch to see if the USB connected item shows up in your notifications or if the battery with a red X symbol shows up.
It will turn on to notify you that it is at 100% charge. Mine turns back off after a bit.

Couldn't tell ya cuz I've never charged my tab completely while it was off, I usually just leave it in sleep mode.
...but Fill there looks like he knows what he's talkin about...listen to him

Sorry, I didn't mean it was completely turned off; it was in sleep mode. I never turn it "off."
It happens to mine, and I notice that it takes place when charger is plugged in, and power gets cut for some reason.
I read elsewhere that it's supposed to give a sound when it gets 100% full. Mine only vibrates, is that normal?

That could be it, then.
Mine was doing something similar: plug in power connector, tab buzzes, press power button once to put tab to sleep, put down to charge....... come back next morning and tab screen is on.
This is what "fixed it for me": disable the "keep screen on when charging" in the developer options.
As already mentioned, the Tab will turn the screen on when it reaches 100% charge to tell you to remove the charger from the wall socket. If you have the Tab set to keep the screen on when charging, the screen will never turn off again at this point.
As I say, that fixed it for me, but as usual YMMV
I have the Bell version of this phone. I received it last week and I love it so far. The biggest issue that I have with this phone is that it will not stay off.
If I turn the phone off by holding the power button, it shows that it is turning off. 20 seconds later, the LG splash screen shows up and the phone powers back on by itself.
If I run it until the battery dies, I connect it to the charger, and a few seconds later I see the battery indicator. Without fail, within 40 seconds the phone powers back up on its own.
I have done a hard reset, and reinstalled everything and it doesn't help. Is this a quirk of this phone? Is there a fix that anyone knows of? I would really like the phone to remain off when I turn it off.
Sorry to hear you have this problem. I have not experience this problem with my phone.
Mine won't stay off if the power cord is plugged in.
So it can't charge while powered off (this is something I used to do to "re-calibrate" the battery on my Kaiser since WM6.x used to get in the way of the charging).
It could be that your USB port is damaged somehow to make the phone think that the power is plugged in?
That's about all I could think of... I find this behavior really aggravating.
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
P.s;
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...
