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...
Most of the time when this phone is in my pocket I have it set on vibrate. Trouble is whenever I get an sms i can never feel it vibrate, the vibration is so faint...On other phones such as the iphone you can easily feel the phone vibrate in your pocket.
Anyway just wondering is there a way to make it so its a stronger/longer vibration when i receive a text message?
thanks

There is currently no way to do this. I think it is a hardware limitation. I agree though. The vibration on this model is horrible.

is there a way to make it vibrate for longer? cos i can usually feel it vibrating if i get a call, but not a sms
Whenever I get a call, the ringtone is very quiet for a couple of seconds before suddenly playing at full volume. Increasing volume is disabled, so does anyone know why it does this?

Try checking and unchecking increasing volume a few times in the settings then. If that does not fix the problem you might be able to try wiping all data to do with the phone and sound settings in Settings > Applications..
It was doing it even when new out of the box though, and also when I first installed XXUAMDN, so it's definitely not an app issue or anything. Tried toggling the increasing volume toggle several times too.

you cant, but i dont know if you can when it is rooted
I'm rooted, so if anyone knows then feel free to share!
This S4 is my first Android phone and i was wandering this also as my phone has always done that for about the first 2 seconds which ive found very strange, never found a way to change it either.
I've had several android phones, but this is the first to do it.
My previous note 2 and the wife's s3 don't he same (as well as my s4).
Unsure if it's an android thing or Samsung thing.
I think it's so the phone ringing when your not expecting it doesn't frighten the living daylights out of you!

It's definitely not an android thing, otherwise my previous 3 phones would have all done it too and I'd already have had a 5 year head start on learning how to stop it!
Right, just found it's a Samsung and LG thing. Seems you can edit the secphone.apk if you're rooted, or alternatively you can download an app called "disable increased ring" from the play store. With this app you get a persistent notification that it's running, but then if you go into application manager you can disable notifications for it. I tried the app and it works, no root access or custom rom needed.
Flash Omega or Wanamlite ROMs, they have this "feature" disabled

Thanks, just found an app that disables it anyway. What a stupid "feature".
I have this exact same problem on my s3 mini. So it's deffo a Samsung thing... Thanks for posting different solutions
"Disable Increasing Ring" app works fine so far.
Ive been loving my note 3, but one thing that has been bothering me is when i get a phone call, my ringtone starts out super low, then gets super loud.
I have the increase volume in pocket option disabled in setitings as i thought that was the culprit, but obviously not.
Any ideas?
It is one of the feature newer samsung phone offer. It's something that comes with stock. So it's not your device has problem. If you want to get rid of it you have root your device and then tweak it with Wanam xposed

The old S3 does this as well.
Hi,
Do you feel the same as I, so the vibration in Galaxy S8 is too weak?
Is it a known issue? Is there any way to make it stronger?
I don't have any case, and the vibration is on max, and I have already played with the vibration patterns.
Thanks.
Is someone here has a similar problem?
If the phone is on something soft for example or in my pocket, I hardly ever feel it.
It's not weak. Have you turned up the vibration in setting.
I can even hear my phone vibrate when my friend is typing on it, and i'm like 1-2 meter away from it.

Of course it turned on. All are on max.
Only when it's on a hard surface I can feel/hear it.
Maybe I missing something or other setting, or there is actually a real problem?
I wouldn't call i weak , however my htc 10 was way better for vibration! It was almost too strong ha The s8 is weaker but not weak! My only issue with vibrate is that once you disable vibrate.... its disabled for ALL sound modes! So lets say i turn off vibrate but later i attend a meeting and i want to put my phone on silent but i want my phone to vibrate.... it wont and theres no way to adjust it for each different sound mode! In fact even if i select the sound mode "vibrate" it wont vibrate once you turn vibrate down/off then its off universally! This sucks as with EVERY phone i have ever owned it was always something you could adjust for each individual sound mode/profile!
But if the phone is placed on some papers you don't notice that something happened.
It wasn't like that with the previous devices.

I TOTALLY agree - vibration is WAY TOO WEAK. Rarely feel it when phone is in my pocket and the only time I do hear it is if it is on a hard surface. I wish there was a way to download an outside vibration. I hope someone can answer this.

I opened this issue when the phone was new, and the situation is pretty the same today.
As I said for notification that using vibration you almost don't notice it, only when there is a phone call, and also it's too weak. Only on hard surface you can notice it.
