Hi, there is any way to turn off charging percent indicator at night? I mean, not the screensaver trick, a real method to turn it off, i use s6 lte as a phone and at night, when charging it lights entire room!
Thanks in advance
You find one, keep us posted. Hated when it showed up on my Note 9 and Tab S3. Hate that my Note 10+ does it. And now this thing. Stupidest idea ever as the replacement to the led light, and not include an option to turn it off.

Totally agree
Just the screensaver trick. Not sure why you don't want to use it, as it actually shuts off the screen if you use a true black wallpaper.

Because it does not hide nav bar when nav bar is set on all time

That's not true. I just tried it on my Tab S6 to test it.
1. Download a true black wallpaper. I recommend this one: https://images.app.goo.gl/VRJvYcK43nah9RFo7
2. Save that wallpaper in a folder all by itself. You can name it "Charging Wallpaper" or whatever.
3. Go to Settings > Display > Screensaver
4. Choose Photo Frame
5. Point it to your Charging Wallpaper folder
Click Preview and you'll see the NavBar disappears.

Not sure what to tell you. If you do it exactly like that it should also hide the nav bar. Sorry you can't get it to work.
Any reason why, even if it did disappear, you wouldn't want that solution?

Yes, I can read. I know that's what you said. I was asking WHY. Not being insistent, I'm trying to HELP you. But I certainly don't have to help, so live with the charging indicator I guess. As for me, my Tab S6 is charging indicator free.
Good luck to you and enjoy that night light/screen burn in.

Friend, don't be upset so easily... you are not helpling, because if someone post "dont want X solution" this means dont talk about X, not so hard to understand! I know X, because of that i post "dont want X solution"... if you have any kind of problem to uderstand that im so sorry for you... next time read twice before answer... another example... dont want pepsi, i want coke... dont offer me pepsi, i told i dont want it.... do you understand now?

LOL, I'm not upset. I was trying to help you out, but no big deal. Again, I was asking WHY you don't want the screensaver. You come to XDA looking for answers, refuse to give info, then are rude to someone trying to help you.
Here's two non-screensaver solutions:
1. lay the tablet face down when charging
2. turn it off before charging it
Otherwise, you'll just have to deal with it, as I said. And in the future, there's no need to start a new thread for something that has already been discussed in multiple other threads. Especially if you're just going to dismiss those of us trying to help you anyway. Peace.

Sorry but I agree that the screen saver trick isn't a good workaround for everybody, mainly because it only works if you let the screen go off automatically. First off, I like to have my screen auto turn off set to the highest value of 10 minutes and secondly most video apps block that outright while content gets played back. So if I am in bed watching a video but decide that I rather just have the audio playing with the screen off my only way to archive that w/o having the charging information be displayed is first exit out of the video app to the home launcher and then wait for ten minutes while the screen is blinding me...
I have no idea why some idiot at Samsung though this to be a feature that we need at all.
Turning on DeX Mode disables the charging indicator.
I found a way to disable the charging notification if you restart the tablet plug the adapter while it's restarting.

Slightly deceiving title? Hm, maybe.
But I just wanted to share some findings where people actually care.
You know the somewhat distorted look you get on the CRT effect when you lock the screen?
It doesn't appear if you:
• reboot phone and wait at PIN-Lock. If you lock the device then, you will get that perfect effect.
Same happens if you switch to Flight Mode, reboot phone.
You will have that perfect animation every time the screen turns off until you disable Flight Mode. After that you get the crappy animation.
So the question; why?
obviously it's connected to the SIM service. But how? And what's necessary to do to fix it?
I'm no dev, but I'm confident that there's some clever people here able to clear it out.
Another thing to consider is, that someone found out that if you change LCD Density you get a clean effect, even if it is from 240 to 240. But only until you go to the Power Menu.

Hi all i am new to this forum and i am ready to learn from you guys
Ok my problem is verry sirius i have send my galaxy to technical lab 3 time
And steel the same.
My phone is beeping by it self. Not after a call not after nothing
He just beeps when he want no body know where or what is the problem
I am with a huge hope that you guys can help me
Thank you all for help
I think thats technical issue. Idk anybody else xperience this but ur problem kinda strange thing to happen and never happen to my phone.
My guess is some kind of RF interference......had new tv recently and kept getting blocks on screen, turned out it was my boiler relay interfering every time the thermostat triggered on/off......and I'm guessing something is causing induction on your speaker in a similar manner
...
Hmmm mey be you right... So what you sugest me to do?
I am agree that this is verry strenge and i didnt know no body with
The same problem.
Thanks for helping me guys
Well if it only happens while you are in a certain location then that would indicate possibly my suggestion, can you describe the beep? Is it a notification beep or does it doing like interference?...or?
..
This is hapening every where.. Its not a notification beep i have
Never hear beep like that... I am now at work in afew hours ill
Come home ill try to record the beep...
It's not what I suggested then, e recording would be very helpful :thumbup:

Well it's not a notification sound I recognize, almost sounds like the connection notification when you plug into charge, just wondering if damaged usb port is doing it, but that is just a guess.
Best advice is flash back to stock Rom with full wipe, and before adding your apps see if it's still doing it, if not then add apps a few at a time.
The other thing you could do is run better battery stats and see if that noise links to any wakelocks

This is a small app I made, that does realy nothing other then call PowerManager.goToSleep.
This is normally not possible as DEVICE_POWER permission is only given to system apps, so will not work unless you have super user mod.
ROM developers can sign it with their ROM key if they wanr it in their ROM. If you sign it to your old ROM, please attach it to a post in this thread and I will add a link to your post.

Put the phone to sleep.
If I set screen timeout too short it will turn off while I'm reading something, if it's long enough I need to press the power button if I want to save battery, which is not very convenient. so this make it easy to put it to sleep

Only the sleep functionality of power button (short press), nothing to do with wakelocks oher then overriding any that are held at the time it is pressed, just as the power button does.
My mom would love something like this. She hates the powerbutton on her P, and I do too lol
I tried a few similar apps from play store, but most of them seemed to drain battery (not going to sleep properly?) or just cause freezes and other funny things. One of them actually completely locked up my One S, forcing me to go into recovery to uninstall it lol
So, question is, will this drain battery or cause funny issues? Or is it simply a 1:1 replica of the powerbutton?
Also, possibly slightly offtopic, but this(or super user mod) isnt working on ICS is it?
Ive been away from android stuff for almost a year now, so most of my devices are quite outdated software-wise
@Goatshocker
As I've said in the OP it realy does nothing, so no battery drain waht so ever.
It will work on (almost) any android version, providing it is "granted" the DEVICE_POWER permission, either by signing it with ROM key or if you have bypass this permission check like super user mod does.
As for the super user mod, it might work if you mod it for ICS yourself, I'll check ICS services.jar.
EDIT: I've looked at ICS services.jar and the code look about the same so I'm guessing you can mod it.
Aight, sounds good.
I found a lot of other interesting stuff that requires JB, so Im gonna go ahead and update it to JB.
Thanks for looking though.
@Goatshocker
A bit OT too, but if you realy hate the power button that much, I have another lil app I made, that turn the phone on waving the hand over the proximity sensor.
This does cause some battery drain, about 3% of total on my phone according to battery stats.
I know there are other apps that do it, but for some reason they hold a wakelock (at least some of them) while mine let the phone deep sleep, and all you need to do to stop it is click it in the notification tray.
It does not require any mod, and should work on any device.

Nope, a simple "power-button" on the screen is exactly what she needs and wants.

Issues like what? So far the only issue I have is that it is sometime difficult to wake up while in deep sleep.

Hi everyone!
I am thinking about making an app that would increase screen on time at lower cost to battery life.
It would do this simply by allowing a user to manually set how long your screen stays in super dim mode.
Whenever your display is about to switch off it dims dramatically for a short time, giving you a chance to reset the dim timer. The app would let you adjust how long this takes.
This is especially useful for tablets, which are a pick-ip put-down device where you often need to switch the screen back on after getting distracted with something, so it would, for example, allow you to set an overall time of 3 minutes, with a period of super-dimness of 1 minute. This will save significant amounts of battery.
Before i commit to it, id like to know if this is something people would be interested in. Please let me know below!

I like the green icon, I have used xposed before to change colors in several icons, so, green batt is fine for me

Hopefully they will give us the option to change it back. Heck they already give us enough useless feathers, please give us one we could actually benefit from.

It did, my new one has the green icon..
At first I didn't think much of it, but the more I see it, the more I think it's actually pretty hideous.
Btw, I don't know about the themes, haven't really checked that out, I'm using Nova Launcher and it's just green in that.
Please try changing the theme if it's always green in AOD?
Why didn't they patch the bad note 7's with a red battery to identify the bad ones instead? Dumb
The battery stays green no matter what theme you apply.
It wouldn't make sense to make it so easy to change as the whole point is to make it easy to identify a safe product and none safe product, and if it was easy to change no one will believe you have a safe device etc.

Tested. I've had my replacement device since 12th September and received the update yesterday.
I've tried three different themes and on all of them the battery remains green.
I don't see what the massive issue is with it. Yes it isn't white like the rest but does it fundamentally change the phone? No.
If you don't like it and it makes such a big difference for you then maybe the device isn't for you.
Yes I woke up this morning to a message that my device had update... and now have the green icon. I mind it less then I thought I would.
