I don't like that, while charging, screen stays with information about battery percent and time to full. Can it go off somehow? On tab s7 plus is not light.
Thanks
I just place it screen down.
Try turn off option "Show charging information"... which is hidden somewhere in "Display" settings...

Hi Phil,
how is battery usage while using the phone, does it drain quite quickly at all?
Im just thinking that it could be a hardware fault with your battery.
Please try the following:
(1) Charge the battery to 100%.
(2) Disable from running or uninstall any 3rd party applications.
(3) Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi,
(4) Enable flight mode
(5) Set backlight to maximum settings.
(6) In the power management settings, uncheck any option that would set the backlight to turn off.
(7) Let phone stay idle for 1 hour and check battery capacity.
(8) If there is a loss of 40% or more, then this means that battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Regards.
Very bad bug, when i go bed and i leave my p6800 in charging i dont power off it,so when the tablet is fully charged the screen turn on and remains on until i wake up and turn off it manually with the standby button. So the screen remains on for about 4 hours per night! How can i do for automatically power of the screen when the tablet give tje allert that the battery is full recharged?
Did you try the screen timeout under settings>screen? As far as I can tell, it applies even when the device is plugged into a power source. I have similar practice as you but in the morning, my device would be charged and the screen off.

Yes, i have put the timeout to 15 seconds, but when the battery is full charged,my tablet rings and power on the display with the message that the battery is charged, i have wait 20 minutes, but the screen remains on. The only way to power off it, is by pressing the standby button wery boring, i am constricted to recharge my tablet from power off status ,in order to avoid this issue this is bad becouse i reiceive emergency calls during the night
can application->development->stay awake help? uncheck it

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.
No one else has had this problem?

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.
Power Button Not Working SGS4 Not Sleeping SOLVED
For whatever it's worth, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48871706#post48871706 - maybe that will be helpful.
I notice that whenever the phone is charging the display never shuts itself off despite being set to 1 minute. It happens in Stock and now in FreeGS4 v2.0.0.
I cannot find a setting to change that.
FreeGS4 at least disables the wakeup on charge so it does not sit half the night with the screen burning in but I would like to know if there is a way to enable the display timeout while charging.

First, check whether Developer Options in settings is ON/Off and if ON make sure "Stay Awake" is not checked.
If dev options are not ON, might try turning them on and see if that fixes anything.

Thanks!
Stay awake was checked in Dev Options. Exactly what I was looking for.
I don't know why my wifi was malfuntioning. Last night i've installed Real Racing 3 after that, the game need to download the data which is 1Gb+. Downloading that size is way too long to wait so i've decided to sleep. Before i go to sleep, I've put the charger because my battery was only 20% and i know downloading that size could empty my battery i dont want that to happen. I turn my backlight in the lowest settings because the downloading screen on the game was not turning the light off and the last was i've activated the power saving mode.
Today, when i woke up, a glimpse on my S4 to check if my download was done, there's pop-up saying connection error, and the download was on 81%, i quickly pick-up the phone to check whats wrong and WTF!!! My S4 screen was very HOT. I cannot believe its still alive on that temp that can almost melt my plastic protector casing. It's reaaly hot just like a flat iron. What i did was pull out that plastic protector. The phone itself was much hotter than the protector cover. I quickly pull the back cover, pull the battery and put everything infront of electric fan. After a few minutes everything were in cool temp. I put the battery back and the back cover, turned it on, then after the start-up completed i've pulled the status bar because i want to continue the downloading. Then my problem comes... The color of WIFI icon was NOT green(ON) and not even grey(OFF) its slight darker green, its in the state of turning to green(ON). I've tap and hold it to open the wifi menu and then, i've noticed that it's really turning to ON.... But it never turned on. I've turn it off and on nothing's changed. After a few forum reading, i manage to turn my wifi on by deleting the root/data/misc/wifi/wpa_suplicant.conf. Because someone saying that the wifi driver cannot read it and have to delete to force the system to make another one and its true. Ofcourse, i did a backup. But my wifi cannot remember my passkey after i turned it off.
Please help me... Did i damage some hardware? I really love my s4.
Anyone can help me here pls..
