Hey all,
Is there any way to get a notification when my phone is charging like many other phones? I know it will alert when it's on the dash charge but I often use a different plug to also charge other devices at the same time. It frustrates me that there's no alert to show that it charging at all
MacroDroid can do that for you. Just create a macro that triggers a notification sound when you plug a charger in.

Thanks for the help, can't for the life of me get the sound to work but managed to get an alert on the screen so I'm happy until I figure it out

Glad you got something you're happy with. I just tried it and it works for me. I used the Media macro, Play/Stop Sound. At first I thought it didn't work but then realised I had the phone set to vibrate, via the alert slider.

Great idea thanks, I was wondering too where the sound was when connecting the charger.

When I sleep I like to have the phone ringer on silent, but unfortunately this stops my morning alarm from making any noise.
Is there no way to mute calls whilst leaving the alarm alone to do its thing?
It seems the alarm won't work when the phone is turned off, so that's no use either.

It works fine for me. I use it as an alarm daily, and I too want the phone on silent.
There is a setting that you may want to check.
Go to settings, menu, all settings, clocks & alarms (you should automatically be on the "more" tab), and ensure that "sound alarms blah blah silent etc." is ticked.

Brilliant! That should cover it. Mine was unticked. Thanks a million.
A friend of mine was also asking for a method of turning the phone off, but still allowing the alarm to work. Do you know if this is possible?

AFAIK, this just isn't possible. It's not something that you could develop software for either. Just keep it on charge overnight instead

He could turn 'airplane mode' on which would stop the phone/email/sms part of the phone working, so he wouldn't get disturbed by a ringing phone during the night! (and it would save a fair bit of battery life too).

That is a great idea simple and to the point. Glad I found this thread I looked for the alarm setting for 10 minutes this morning and couldn't find it but I knew it was there. As usual XDA comes thru again now if I can just get the BT Announce Calls to work on 6.5 Sprint Touch Pro...
Woke up today and noticed I had a lot of missed calls and messages. Tried to send myself a message and noticed there is no sound. Could the hardware be damaged? I did not install anything and I already checked everything on the system. Can anyone give suggestions?

I hate to ask, but I have to really. Do you have ringtone volume turned up? Also, in case you're not aware, you can set ringtone and system volume to be 2 different things.
Other than that, if the volume is turned up fully, can you play a music file and see if that works? Try every possible software solution before thinking it's hardware.

Yep. Did all of that. I even re-flashed the ROM just to make sure but still nothing. Guess I'll have for warranty.

Just one final check - does the earphone socket work? If it does then it's obviously a speaker problem. If the earphones don't work either then it would suggest software, but I really don't see what software could cause this after a ROM flash.
Yes the speakers socket work. Calls are fine. It's just the rear speaker that is not working. I also tried plugging/unplugging the earphones coz it happened before that after removing the earphones there was no sound. But before it worked, now still nothing.

Sounds like it's broken then mate. Sorry to say it, but I reckon you do have to get it replaced. Bad times
I am told when charging of the phone is complete it vibrates for a few seconds. Anyone know how to turn this off as no-doubt it will waken me?
Thanks.
Not only that, but it makes a stupidly loud pinging noise, too. It woke me up at 3am this morning. I can't find anything in the settings to turn it off.
Anyone?
I don't know why Samsung and LG thinks this is useful.
i dont wake up for anything!! i havent noticed this once yet. does it only ping/vibrate when you are charging when the phone is on? or when it off also?
Only when it's on. I think that the pinging noise is controlled by the System volume slider in the settings menu, I had it up to full which is probably what caused it to wake me. I've put it down to about 2 now but am yet to test to see if it's quieter.
I can't find anything to turn off the vibration though.
I'm yet to get my phone, so can't check, but have you checked in the sound settings? There's apparently an option for Vibration if I'm understanding page 129 of the manual.
" Vibration: Set when the device will vibrate for various events"
I'm hoping the fully charged event is one of these.
OK, so the ping isn't controlled by System, it's controlled by Notifications. Which is really stupid because if you turn the volume down on that how are you supposed to hear when you've got a text message?
Disabling 'Haptic Feedback' in the Sounds menu seems to disable the vibration part of the notification. It also disables vibration on all other UI interactions, though.
Anyone got a solution to this really annoying problem?
do you really have to have your phone so close to you when you sleep???

If you can try and get me something to go on, I can perhaps try to find out what is causing this vibration...
I am guessing it comes from the framework...

Yes, I use it as my alarm clock when I am home and travelling.

I don't have anything to go on other than that the phone makes a loud beep two times and vibrates when charged.
I mentioned it in one of previous topics covering this problem and I will mention it once again.
SGS i9000 had the same problem in one of the first firmwares. Vibrations and sounds when battery charged have disappeared starting from (I think) one of the first Froyo updates from Samsung.
Samsung will hopefully address this problem sooner or later.
I had autostarts purchased, from back when I had to worry about what was running. Looking it seems on plugging the phone to usb or charger it launches "Mtp application" guess that would be a good place to start.
On a slightly different note. Once the phone is fully charged, it stars to drain again. Is there an alarm clock app that keeps the phone around 98% then starts charging again 30 mins before the alarm is due?

But doesn't you change the sms sound from the sms app? Thats how it works usually in Androids. The notification sound is for any other notifications, but you can change different for the sms sound. Thats how it works in Nexus S at least. Same for the gmail app also.
I guess this is in services.jar
I will take a look shortly.
...uurm...dunno if this is what you guys want but
Have your mobile on silent. (Alarms will ring in silent mode)
Go to settings - sound - vibration - Only when not in silent mode
It won't vibrate nor make a sound whilst your asleep

So at least it works in that way. Thats how my phone is always at night. Good to know, my phone will come in about 1 or 2 weeks.

Please. I would be more than happy to send a donation!
There might be a solution if you are rooted...
In the folder /system/media/audio/ui there's a file called Charger_Connection.ogg and you can rename that to Charger_Connection.ogg.bak (personally I use adb and the 'mv' command, Root Explorer should work fine too).
Plugging in the USB cable now doesn't make a noise, just waiting to see what happens when it's fully charged...!
UPDATE: Nope, it uses a different noise... still looking...
Occasionally I hear a notification alert tone (it sounds like two quick chords), but no alert text is posted to the notification area, so I can't tell what app or function is generating the tone. Has anyone else had this problem? I searched the forum but haven't found any answers.

It's stock Android. I don't see a way to do that.
I've had the same thing happen. Not sure what it was or why, but it was charging when I heard it. Was not fully charged, it was only at about 80% so it can't be that.

I've had this happen before about 3-4 weeks ago but it hasn't happened since and never found out what it was. Perhaps a random app and there was an error with the notification or something? Best of luck
Try holding your phone up to your wallet, see if it makes the chime. My guess is you have a card with an imbedded chip in it and your phone's NFC is detecting it but doesn't know what to do with it, causing nothing to happen.

i get this once in a while too, when i receive a message with screen off, it just plays the notifcation sound, screen don't turn on and no notifcation in the center, i have to manually go in app to see it
mystery notification tone but no alert (NFC is 'off')

Thanks for that suggestion. NFC was already turned 'off', so that's not the culprit.
I have this happen for MMS if I'm in a poor data coverage area. Sometimes the MMS will show up days later, sometimes not at all.
NFC? My credit card and my ID both have NFC so whenever I hold the two together, or when there're in my pocket together I get a short notification sound, and nothing onscreen, I was wondering what it was for a while, but then realised it was NFC. Maybe it's NFC for you too?

As I previously wrote, I have this feature turned "off".
Are you using google now at all? You might be getting notifications from something there.
Hello,
Since yesterday my Axon 7 makes a very irritating ticking sound. This happens when I open an app like Twitter, but also various other apps. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve it?
Thanks in advantage!

Uninstall the Timebomb app. j/k
In case it's not touch sounds but the vibration motor. I seriously had to get used to the beeping sound of the linear vibration motor as I come from a device that used a nonlinear vibration motor.

It's not when I touch the screen, more like when I open certain apps that use data, or when I send a text for example. Sometimes it occurs as well when I charge my phone.

Haha, wish that could solve the problem! The vibration motor could be the problem indeed, but then I guess that nothing can solve the problem, right?

Unfortunately there isn't. I simply disabled the haptic feedback vibration when using the keyboard.
Took me a while to get used to but its fine now.
