Screen turning on when charged. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this has already been answered having a nightmare with search on Tapatalk.
Is there any way to stop the screen from turning on when phone charged? I often leave phone charging overnight and worry the screen might burn out because of this.
Thanks

Anyone? Or is this just something one should not worry about?

It times out after a couple of minutes or so. I charge my phone most nights but when I wake the screen is always off.

I have the same problem! Bugs the hell out of me when I wake up my phone screen is turned on and on my lockscreeb

Don't have this problem either, my phone's locked again after the notification for full charge...
What kind of rom do you have? (it's written "galaxy S in your sign)
Are you using an app for lockscreen?

Just the standard Sammy one. And it never turns off automatically.

So maybe you could install a lockscreen app from the market and see if it solve your problem.

Phone locked but screen turning on

For some reason this just started happening like this hour.
My note is rooted but that's it. Was using golocker for a couple days and just turned it off to run stock lock screen. For some reason now when my phone is locked and the screen goes black it keeps waking up like every minute and then going dark again. Over and over again. I will uninstall go lock but it doesn't seem logical to me that this would he the cause since it is disabled. I've checked all of my display and power settings and don't see anything out of the ordinary there.

Found another thread about this. And it seems my problem could be that I have been charging the note via 3rd party USB wire with my work PC. So i will go home soon and try it with the Samsung wall charger and hope that is the reason. Btw. I'm on DaG's stock kernel. Not OC.
Thanks.

Mod Charging LED to stay on constantly (screen on or off)

I've noticed that the notification LED (orange while charging) is on if the screen is off, but then turns off as soon as the screen is turned on, although the phone obviously continues to charge, as it shows in the top or with any battery widget.
Any other Android phone I've have before, incl. other Samsung phones, have charging indicators that stay on continuously while charging regardless of phone or screen state. I think that makes a lot more sense, that the charging LED would stay on while the phone is charging.
Is there a way (maybe with root) to enable the charging light to stay on all the time even with the screen on while the phone is charging? Would this require a custom kernel, since that is out of the question with the locked bootloader (not using a kexec or the recovery partition obviously) right now. Is the light going off when the screen comes on something specific to the VZW model, or are all versions like that, if anyone seems to have a different version of this phone?
Thanks
I know that the app Light Flow LED control will be updating their app to support the GS3 soon and you will be able to use the LED as you described plus much more.

I believe the idea is so you dont have a light in your eyes when looking at your phone while it's charging. I know I hate that.

I was actually looking for some way to get the notification light to pulse, ie dim from high to low, instead of just flashing on and off. Not sure if it is, but does anyone know if this would even be possible?

This happened to my S3, and i wasn't able to open it for 1 day.

[Q] S3 not turning on

yesterday the battery of my s3 was very low (around 2%) and i went to sleep without charging it. When i woke up after about 4 hours or so the phone was dead. I plugged it to wall charger but nothing changed i mean there was no battery sign or LED light. I thought the battery is completely drained so i left it there for about 15 min. When i checked again there was still nothing. I tried to turn in on but no response, unplugged the charger took out the battery then put it in , still no response. so i just left it there to charge for half about half an hour. Then i tried to turn it on again but still nothing. I tried recovery mode but no response. then i tried download mode and it did got to download mode. Now i thought it was OK so i restarted the phone but again it wont respond (Black Screen). I tried the download mode again(wall charger was plugged in the whole time). The phone did go to download mode but the screen started to Flicker and when i restarted it the boot screen(I-9300) turned up(still a little flickerish). and then it stuck there for a while. Then it went black. Again i left it to charge for about another half an hour. Now when i tried to turn it on, recovery mode or download mode Nothing happened, there was no response.
Then i started reading different threads on internet but couldnt seem to find anyone else with similar problem. Btw i checked the charger on Note and it was charging fine. then i tried to charge my s3 through laptop and the battery sign appeared and phone started to charge. I turned it after a while and it turned on Ok.
My phone is rooted , custom rom -Omega 39 with Custom Kernel Yank555 and Philz Recovery v4
Now my question is, Is there something wrong with my set? i mean the non responsive state and screen flickering. Should i get it checked or was it something that just sort of happens. Has anybody else faced a similar problem?. what can i do to avoid it in the future.
*Sorry for such a long post, its my first time. and i read about the S3 Sudden Death and now i am freaking out!..

I know this sounds silly but its not in "hardsleep" as some people would call it, where the phone is idle for too long and basically shuts its self down? Or it could be the sudden death issue associated with the s3. This probably isn't much help but its a suggestion, I've never come across this before

Try a different charger and cable. The s3 ones are notoriously crap.

Problems with turning off screen

Hello,
I am experiencing strange problems on my Samsung galaxy S II LSD firmware and laso LS8 and others. It is not turning screen off very often. After some time, screen is just darker but does not turn off completelly as it should. I think it might be doing some app but I am not sure. Is there any way to diagnose which app or part is doing this strange behaviour? I tried betterbatterystats but nothing useful it seems.
Also when I disconnect phone from charging it is still showing and behaving like that device is connected to wall charger even when it is not ... Thank you for any advice.

Get Wakelock Detector from playstore or post partial wakelocks.
Do you have "stay awake while charging" in developer options checked, if so this could be why your screen won't turn off while your phone thinks it's still charging.
