I have a white 32GB 3G model. My Galaxy Tab woke me up the last 2 nights. Before I went to bed I attached the A/C-Adapter and muted the device. Few hours later it woke me up with the vibration. The last night I turned the Galaxy Tab off, but surprisingly it vibrated again, after the battery was fully charged.
Any hint how to disable this? I have read that it is possible to disable the haptic feedback, but I like the haptic feedback when I touch e.g. the Home-Button. And disabling it everytime I go to bed is no option.
My galaxy s phone does this, I just set it on the carpet floor vs my wood desk.
Mine did that too a couple of times, and then again just the other night... but not the vibrate part. The screen comes on and it makes a noise. But it doesn't do it every time. Strange, I thought, but then I realized that when it did that, it always corresponded with my home power flickering off and back on.
Sorry, no answer here, but I have the same question. Many nights I sleep thru it, but several times it woke me up. I place mine face down so I don't notice when the screen comes on - which BTW, is not easy to do while it's in the belkin slim case.
This is indeed an annoying feature. Does anybody knows where the "charged" sound is located and if it is possible to remove/replace with root explorer?
Cheers

Running the newest UnNamed and I'm trying to find a way to keep the screen on while charging from USB. The point is to keep the screen on while driving. At night I charge with AC power so that's not an issue.
I found posts saying there was a burn in problem with SMOLED screens being on with a static image for more than a couple minutes at a time. I haven't seen it personally but if anyone has first hand experience with this phone or the international model, please speak up before I damage my phone.
Otherwise, once again, it looks like I need Tasker for the job. Have it detect bluetooth connection for the car and upon usb power trigger car mode and keep the screen on at ~50% brightness. something like that.
With unnamed go to Settings>Applications>Development and click Stay Awake.
Try this first,
Menu->settings->Applications ->Development -> Stay awak
If not working , try this
Menu->settings->Display->Screen Timeout ->Never
Now I've never seen permanent burn in on my SGSII or Nexus One (even while on constantly during a 10h drive to Vegas). I was using a stop watch app on my Nexus One, and while only on for 5 minutes or so, I did see it burn in, but it went away after a few minutes of being off (boy was I scared when I first saw it though).
Now, I have personally seen permanent burn-in on a Vibrant (not mine).
Funny thing is the screen timeout is set to like 5 seconds on it, so it's barely on. Yet I can clearly see the clock is burned into the screen.
Have you tried running a car app to hold a screen lock? I know Google Maps can do that. Plus it doesn't require going into settings (at least more than once).
EDIT: As a simple observation, the burn-in seems worse when it's white on a black background.
I dropped my phone in the ocean but the flash light was on so I swam down and got it back. I took the battery out and put it in rice but it still wouldn't turn on. So I took it apart and cleaned all the salt out of it and put it back together. Now it works but it still has some issues with the touch screen functioning and for some reason the LED light stays on. Even when the phone is turned off and off the charger and it doesn't change colors for notifications any more. Could I have hooked it back up wrong some how ? Does it matter ie affect anything else/ indicate other problems? Thanks so much for any help you can offer. ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because it took a swim in the ocean [emoji16]
I dropped my RAZR into a pool and was never the same again. It worked but just acted.. Well like it got wet. Not sure if anyone will be able to give you definate answers. Could look again at the connections I suppose.

Just checking in a few days in. Most times it works well, but sometimes it takes a few tries to turn on. Once today I even had to use the button to turn it on.
Just wanted to see if this is common or should I exchange?
Thanks

I haven't had a problem with or waking up but it doesn't seem to work that well scrolling through cards with wrist gestures.
I've been experiencing the same.
It will work perfectly most of the day and then at certain times it just DGAF...
I have mostly experienced this in highly lit areas, office lighting and outside in a lot of sun.
Well yesterday wrist actions quit completely, screen was always on. Had to touch the screen to get it to wake up. Was like that for a few hours and was still doing it when i brought it back to best buy. Exchanged it, new one working way better.

Hi everyone,
I'm sure this question has been asked by many users, but for some reason none of the ones I read seem to match the problems with my S6 Edge.
The other day I was playing music Youtube on my 3 year old S6 edge (for like 30min) and I forgot that autoplay was off, so the screen turned off, within 10 seconds of it doing so, I pressed the home button to 'wake it up again', but the screen won't turn on. the phone reboots once by itself but the screen remains off, and I know the phone's on because of the blinking LED light of messages, or the red when it is charging. The backlight lights up too, and it seems the screen's touch system works, as I am able to turn it off. I wait for a couple of minutes before hard resetting it (Volume down+Power key) and the screen lights up again and it's all good.
However, I have noticed this happening way too many times lately and noticed a bit of a trend. It usually happens when I use any app (except the music app) for 30 minutes or more, and if I manage to keep the screen awake, it works perfectly fine. The problem begins when the screen sleeps due to inactivity, or is voluntarily turned off. It also heats up quite a bit.
I am on the latest firmware, and have already formatted the phone once and tried, yet the problem persists. With that I suppose we can rule out that the problem is due to any third party app, or due to not updating the firmware. I also replaced the motherboard last year at a reputable phone repair shop, so I think it's a safe bet to say that's not the issue, but I am not 100% sure (the problems began 6 months after I 'unrooted' the phone, after replacing the motherboard).
As I kept going with it, it kept getting worse until eventually, now the phone is in a constant state of 'screen off but phone on', where it charges, plays music, can receive calls and messages, but cannot turn on the screen. I kept trying at 15 minute intervals to no avail, even though the phone is at room temperature.
Before I go blow a couple more 100 bucks on fixing this, I would like to hear all of your opinions on what the problem might be (and hopefully the solution).
Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem but i have the galaxy s7 edge. often i can unlock my phone but my screen will stay black. no aod or backlight but the vibration from unlocking with fingerprint is there and the sounds of opening an app are also there...
It is quite bright, especially at night. Is there a way to control its brightness?
My Xperia 1 III is rooted if that's needed.
Thank you.
I just put the phone screen facing down
This is a technical forum and expects technical response to the asked question.
That's weird. My xqbc62-v notification LED is dim and has a narrow viewing angle. I can only see it at night.
I think there are multiple hardware revisions of this phone. My first phone was purple and crashed constantly. I returned it and bought a new one later. It's purple, but so dark that it looks back except under direct sun.
I see what you mean now. The BC62 notification LED used to track ambient light and it was always relatively dim. Starting with the Android 12 update, it's max brightness all the time. It's annoying at night.
Yep I can confirm that the LED is much brighter after A12 update. I charge the phone wirelessly at night beside my bed so putting it face-down is not an option. ;-)
What I have found to work is completely unscientific but works every time for me. I use a cable so not sure if it will do the same for wireless. After I plug it in I too notice that the LED is too bright. So I wait a minute or more and unlock the phone with my fingerprint (while the charging cable is still plugged in) and then double tap the screen to relock the phone. I use Nova Prime as my launcher which allows me to double tap to lock. Usually doing this makes the LED dim down considerably. Sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times but it always ends up working. YMMV
Anyone knowing a 2ay to disable the LED while charging? Maybe via adb command?
