[Q] How to turn off "wake up" if phone is 100% charged? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If the phone is fully charged (100% notification) the screen turns on.
Phone wakes up.
If i use it in dark sleeping room i (or my wife) wake up and get blind.
Is it possible to turn it off?

You could always just turn the phone over.......

ok... its in a docking station.
not possible to turn over.
is there a REAL solution for this known?

Turn the docking station in another direction... apart from that I doubt there being a solution right now

The S2 is the same with stock ROM. There is no way to disable that. Only way to disable that is to install custom ROM/kernel.

Find it in settings and change to .bak, or freeze it if you use titanium backup?

How is it dumb? The OP didn't say it was in a dock in his first post. It's only logical if you don't want to see the screen, to turn it over.
YOUR post, sir, was dumb.

That is correct. But rather than tell him to just turn it over, I would have kept my mouth shut.
I do hope the op does find a solution, then he can turn it back over.

I would imagine there's a solution for this that can be flashed. Hope some dev can fix this..

you would have to root the phone, then use root explorer or titanium backup to do it. The file name's are USUALLY pretty easy to figure out what they do.

Yes it is. Its a low tech solution, but a solution nonetheless.

Get a flip cover or put a sheet of card/paper in front of the screen!

thanks for the "creative" ideas
But these things are not a solution, they are workarounds ^^
If there is nothing to deactivate it. hmm. bad.
lets see what happens with other roms which i'll try in future.

No sir, I said it for the lulz. It is possible to overheat and Im sure overheat to the point where your phone doesnt work anymore, melted solder or whatever.. But i assure you, you are not carrying a bomb in your pocket. Err, at least the Atrix is not one.

They're "supposed" to thermally shut themselves off before that happens. Now if the battery shorts out, well, you're screwed.

I don't mean to be rude, and I'll answer your question, but you really need to search the forums before posting a question. Secondly, there is a specific forum to post questions to, so try to do that next time.
The face unlock feature is not active in ICS on the TFP right now. We know that a portion of it is installed into the system, but there are no controls available at this time.
face unlock is not that great.
Face unlock is not secure.

Has anyone found a way to make face unlock work? Yes, there are lots of threads asking, no i didnt find any answers on HOW to make it work. If i missed it please forgive me.
there is currently no way to make it work.

There was a poster here who found the apk in our system - data/data/ & need root - and tried to install it but it fails to take. So it has some other dependency that blocks it.

Carrier Name

Hi I was wondering if there was a way to remove the carrier name from the notification bar?
I know with a custom ROM running jkay mods its possible. Not sure by other means.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I'm on the stock rooted rom. It's really annoying me being there. I remember the skyrocket and t989 there was a mod to remove it in the ics roms
I'm not sure why it's annoying. It was there for 1-2 seconds than disappears. GB stock rooted

yes, it's possible to remove it or change it to other text if u want to, but u will have to mod it yourself if no mods from others are available

The carrier logo will dissappear if you have a notification, like i always have my EQ shortcut up there, so i only see the carrier logo for like 1 sec then it goes away. but if you have no notifications then it will always be there.
Another complaint for something that is really not even a big deal.

You guys need to calm down. It's a very common mod across all Android devices. Just like how a battery without % numbers could annoy some people, carrier name annoys OP. People get annoyed by different things. Let it go.

[Q] My S4 won't turn off!!

Guys I need help here. I just rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500), and it was fine for a few hours...but now it just wont turn off.
Even when the screen times out.
Even when I press the power button.
It will just stay on no matter what. (Interestingly, long pressing the power button does bring up the power dialogue!)
I did not flash any Custom ROM. I did not even install any recovery! The only tinkering I did was Setting cpu speed using Tasker...
Guys please help...I'm in trouble...
If the kernel you used is uncompatible or if its a stock kernel,you will get issues,also if you set the frequency to high for your phone,it will give issues,Look @ this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727171

Tried It All
I tried restarting the phone. Nothing happened. I removed the battery and re inserted. Nothing happened.
, I decided to factory reset. I lost root, but the kernel stuck...Aaaarrrggghhhh.
Problem still persisting.
Umm by battery pull, do you mean removing the battery while the phone is on?
(Update: Trying removing the battery while the phone was on...didn't help)
Thankfully, I've got the S View cover...So most of the screen is black, just the time, etc are on...
Further help...
Could anyone please give a link to the stock firmware for galaxy s4 i9500?
Like "you-get-your-warranty-back-and-you-are-allowed-to-install-OTA-updates" kind of firmware?
Like, if I flash it, I unroot my device, and it becomes like before?

My phone is factory unlocked. Here in India, people rarely buy phones with carriers.
Will the link next to "india" work? Or should i just take it to the service centre? (my phone isn't rooted, remember?)
