If I try to charge the phone using any one of the myriad of USB cables and wall plugs I have laying around, the G2 goes into "Slow Charging" mode. When I use the cord and plug that came with the phone it charges like it's evidently supposed to. The USB cable is bigger around than my other cable too.
Kinda disappointed that the transparent selection for the on-screen buttons is literally for the buttons and not the background of the buttons which would actually be helpful.
I like having a tabs version of the menu screen option. I got used to the way the S4 menu layout is and the tabs version on the G2 is similar to that. You can toggle back and forth.
Being able to select which toggles are available on the drop down status screen is cool and easy to use.
In terms of the charging.
Most phone chargers that aren't specifically for tablets, or newer phones, are 1A chargers.
The one that comes with the phone is a 1.8A charger.
That being said, I have also noticed that any previous CABLE I have tried, including ones that are for a Nexus 7 or 10 tablet, even when plugged into the OEM charger, say "slow charging mode"
The funny thing is, if I use the OEM cable and plug it into any charger I have, ranging from .5A, to .75A, and 1A, it doesn't say "slow charging mode" even though, technically, it is.

Samsung phones often trigger different modes by putting resisters of different sizes between the pins in the cables. Not sure if that is the case here, but it could be that the cables need to be specially modified for fast charging mode.

I've noticed that when installing the united drivers every time i plug the phone into the computer it loads up backup assistant and then about 30 seconds later the phone is viewable in explorer.
Yes, the transparency for the nav buttons is not really transparent. Can't wait till this gets rooted and unlocked as this phone is going to be awesome with AOSP.

I hope it happens, root is pretty much assured but unlocked bootloader and AOSP aren't, the US versions of the Options G lash their international variant, done even have official Cyanogenmod, which I hope we get.
Overall thumbs up or keep looking?
So it sounds like purchasing a second OEM wall charger should be a priority, one for home and one for work. I could just use the OEM at work and slow charge overnight with my legacy wall chargers.
How about mobile chargers? I just purchased a moto mobile for my GNex, don't feel like dropping more ca$h on a new one.
My local VZW store doesn't have any in stock so I may purchase online just to make sure I keep my unlimited data. Sucks that it won't get here until next week.

The double tap to wake is pure genius. I kept flipping the phone over to wake the device.

The slow charging was a downside that I realized today, as I tried it on the same charger as my Note 2 and it was in slow charging mode. This caused me to have some doubts about charging it in the car without buying a charger from them, hoping a generic USB cable will work.
Overall though I love the phone! I think it's great that the Verizon version has wireless charging.
Double tap to put it to sleep only works on the stock launcher for me. Apex and Nova both override the knock knock.
Knock, Knock to wake works on Nova and double tapping the notification bar will make the phone sleep on Nova as well.
I asked this earlier in the general from and got this reply:

fix for the "knock, knock" to sleep.
From Verizon's description page (look under Specs/Web [stupid place for it]):
Micro USB 3.0 high–speed charging
So "Slow Charging" would be just like when you were charging your Note or older device. Which is why it is called slow.
Couple things I have noticed so far....
1) the settings screen can change to tabs if you hit the on screen menu button at the bottom.
2) copying mkv files from win8 always crashes something, had to use airdroid
3) you can get rid of the qslide by editting the quick settings, showing the qslide button then tapping it, then remove it.
4) the gps icon seems to always show, no matter what i do.
5) long pressing the home button brings up the task manager

I try to stay away from USB transfer nowadays for devices without an SD card. Go download FTP Server from the Play Store, then FileZilla (or some other FTP client) for your PC and transfer that way. A LOT faster than using the USB Media connection. Both phone and pc must be on the same network.

The quick buttons above the qslide, if you swipe it all the way to the right is an edit. Go in there and check qslide. Then come out, disable the qslide button, then just go back into the edit for the quick buttons and remove the qslide from there too.

Just so you know, I the screen on the galaxy S ii we get burnt pixel marks fairly easily with the super amoled + display, and so leaving the screen on displaying the same image might not be a good idea. A live wallpaper might help.

same here - rooted and on KE7 ...
i'm not sure how you manage to keep your screen on - mine switches off after the usual delay even when docked on my desk ...
My screen also switches off while plugged in by usb. Worse still, i found that while using Kies Air, once the screen goes off Kies no longer can communicate with the phone!
Solution was to install JuiceDefender. A great little app, you can tell it to keep connecting for certain Apps even when the screen is off. So all you need to do is add Kies Air. Now it works!
thanks for the update. inspired by your post i had another search and found a similar app called Screen On which has the same functionality including the ability to keep the screen on when the phone is being charged ...
thanks !

◄●All Users●►
Turn off all radios when not in use (gps, Bluetooth, wifi, data, 4g). Use a widget (default or app like Switchpro) to quickly turn them on and off. The radios draw power even if not in use. Be sure to use WiFi over 3G when you can.
Stop using live wallpapers - I love them, but they are really only good for showing off due to their battery drain.
Set your screen timeout to something that fits you - This will prevent your phone from staying on when you don’t manually turn off the screen (which you should).
Everyone has that issue where the first ten percent go the fastest.
This is due to two things. One is that these types of batteries stop charging once they get to 100% to prevent damage, and begin charging again at 90%. This means that you could potentially unplug your seemingly fully charged phone at 90% actual charge. The second is below
Use the trick described in this thread, it works.
My idea behind how often you should do it is once a month, if you flash a new ROM, or if you stop noticing the benefits.
This is the calibration technique recommended by HTC themselves. Check it out!
Make sure your phone sleeps - I'm sure you have all heard around that your phone isn't "sleeping".
This is referring to the phone's "awake" time, hence the name. When you go to menu>settings>about phone>battery, you can compare the two numbers, "up time" vs. "awake time." Generally, up time refers to the amount of time since the last reboot. The "awake time" is how long the screen has been active. The problem is, a lot of the time, due to the endless possibilities of inconsistencies between apps/ROMs/kernels/phones, the phone will not go to "sleep", drawing power proportionate to the screen being in use when it reality the phone is sitting idle.
If you compare these numbers, and they are the same, or if you note the difference, turn off the screen for a minute, then re-check and they are the same, then your phone is not sleeping.
One solution is to reboot.
Usually, SystemPanel will show an app that has gone "rouge" and is keeping your phone awake.
Uninstall applications/reinstalling them slowly, checking after every install to see what is causing it is one tedious but surefire solution.
Lastly, follow these steps that I have discovered almost always work.
Reboot phone.
Instantly upon reboot, as soon as you gain control, open up some type of monitor/taskkiller
"kill all" tasks on startup; about 5 times in quick succession should do the trick.
Turn off the screen and leave it for about five minutes.
Check the up time v. awake time and see if they are the same.
If they are, repeat steps 1-5. If they are different, you are good.
Use Juice Defender - Basically it controls your data for you to maximize life. Learn more from my review of Juice Defender.
Task killers used to be the shiz, but no longer.
Here is the ultimate, in depth, graphically assisted, explanation by the famous Fresh ROM's chef, Flipz. In short, they aren't needed (and can do more harm than good).
A good alternative is the application SystemPanel Pro. It has a free version, but I highly reccomend purchasing the paid app. It basically monitors everything going on with your phone's usage both in real time an in terms of usage history. If your battery is draining fast, it tells you what app was doing it, how much it was doing it, and allows you to stop it.
◄●Rooted Users●►
Try out custom kernels - In the Android Development section of the forums, you can see all of the different kernels being developed. These allow for all kinds of modifications like underclocking the CPU and undervolting, both of which save battery. Here is a great guide to custom kernel's by mroneeyedboh.
Use SetCPU in compliance with whatever your custom kernel allows.
This site will explain the basics of SetCPU: http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/
-Profiles from SetCPU should usually involve these for battery life optimization:
-Screen off at the minimum clock speed for both, with the max raised on level if sluggishness is apparent
-A temperature greater than “X”
-General power related profiles that lower cpu speed at lower battery levels
◄●Notes●►
Some apps or processes begin to run at startup and keep the phone awake. These apps are not detected by things like spare parts or system panel, unless sometimes represented in the "system" process, in which case its usage will be unusually high.
This shouldn't take more than three repeats, and if it does, you need to factory reset, and slowly add apps back to see what's causing the problem.
When it comes to actually "calibrating" one's battery, there are a couple of methods floating around. The method I first learned is to charge the phone all the way, boot into recovery immediately, and "wipe battery stats". Then reboot quickly, and run your phone all the way to death without charging it, then charge it all the way without interrupting it, and you should be good to go. Do this when changing ROMs/kernels for best results.
Big thanks to Biofall for the battery tips that you see her. Thanks dude.
I'll keep this updated as often as possible. Open to all suggestions, just send me a PM.

1. Battery calibration for first runtime should just be using it until the phone shuts off, then go to bootloader until it shuts off. Then do a full charge to 4.2v.
I would HIGHLY suggest putting a button combination map.

1) on the Gmail app when trying to copy text you used to be able to just click on the highlighted text to copy it to clipboard, now you have to go down to the bottom left and click on the icon to do it. This is only on the Gmail app.
2) The menu button will be sorely missed. Now the menu for each app appears, depending on the app, on a different part of the screen, as opposed to having it always on the same spot.
The "Recent Apps" button is UTTERLY USELESS! With the original Evo, you used to be able to press and hold the home button and see the most recent 8 apps without having to scroll at all!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?? (WERE THEY THINKING?!?!)
3) The text app, and for that matter Handcent and GoSMS DO NOT show the count for the unread messages, neither on the icon, nor on the notification bar, UNLESS you actually scroll down the notifications, then you can see how many unread messages you have.
4) Gmail app used to be awesome with the original Evo. Not only did it show the total unread messages you had but also, if you marked a message as unread (even a very old message), whether you did it from the phone or even from the computer, you would get a notification as if you just got a new message! Where's that?!?!
5) Sync seems to be having its own issues as well. On the regular email app, if I set it up to sync email every 5 minutes, it takes rather about 10-15 mins for the emails to come in. Original Evo was prompt at that...
6) on the regular email app in order to be able to go to the next or previous email, one has to first click on menu and only then do you have the "next" or "previous" option, unlike on the original Evo.
7) When already on max volume and want to make sure you still are with the volume rocker, you would hear a sound with the old Evo, now you got nothing are have to actually LOOK at the screen to make sure you got it to the max.
8 ) No option to play YouTube videos out of the YouTube app when clicking on a YouTube video on the browser.
That was a given with the original Evo. Annoying as hell on the LTE.
9) You MUST use both hands when holding the phone vertically if you want to have access to the whole screen (if you're laying down or sitting back on a sofa, for example), otherwise you will be unwillingly hitting the volume rocker or needing a chiropractor for your thumb. An issue which could be avoided with a gel cover, but could have been foreseen by HTC when producing such a smooth non-grippy back to the phone.
10) Gmail and Tasks are incompatible?! I mean, what's the point??
11) The regular email app can only be accessed a limited amount of times per 15 minutes? I already got quite a few of those error messages...
12) You used to be able to choose the input method and switch keyboards by long-pressing on any field. Now you have to exit whatever application you're on and go to settings, keyboard etc. to do it.
This isn't a cellphone war between the 4G and the LTE, obviously the LTE has lots of stuff over the original Evo. I'm not here to bash the LTE, on the contrary I would love to find solutions to all (or most) of those issues.
For the time being if I have to sum it up:
I love the speed and I LOVE the battery life but, in terms of practicality, I would stick with the original Evo.
P.S. I would rather not root my phone, and would like those problems to go away, help!

Every time I plug my phone in via USB or place on an inductive charger, the screen turns on. I never want this to happen. Is there any setting or hack to disable? I blame OCD for not wanting to wait for the screen timeout. I tried using Tasker to set the display timeout to the minimum value of 7s only when on any power source, but it still timed out at the system setting. I have a rooted Droid 4 with the stock ROM, but this applies to any Android phone.
This doesn't seem unreasonable. If you set your phone down to charge, doesn't that mean you're done using it for now? This is difficult to search for, because the same search terms lead me to the "stay awake while charging" threads.

I'd like to know if there's a solution to this too. I find now that the only time I ever end up pocket dialing is when I take my phone off my charger, THINK i've pressed the power button to go back to sleep but didn't and thus pocket hilarity ensues
I know what u mean but there is defnetly a function where it may be disabled
ive seen it i may guarantee this
the bad thing is i forgot where...
i searched through my stock rom and found nothing so i guess ive seen this in a cyanogenmod rom :/
have a try
Its funny, because I'm trying to do the opposite. I installed my android tablet [novo 7 elf] into my car, and I used to be on a ROM whereby whenever I turn the engine on it would charge the tablet and therefore the screen would turn on. However now I've got a jellybean port this functionality does not work because of the sleep timer which has a max of 30 mins.
Any ideas on how to disable this functionality?

Indeed.
Am looking for the same thing. really hate the fact that when it goes in the charger I continuously have to turn off the device.... not cool.
Hopefully someone comes with a solution.
only thing for now is use Locale and a plugin screen off (.99 cents) which will probably turn off the screen if you plug it in. haven't tried it though.
Maybe the "charging now" notification is what wakes the phone up when it begins charging, and maybe that notification can be removed somehow, but I know nothing of how those are set up in the background.

FYI, I tried this again since upgrading to ICS on my Droid 4, and it totally works. I just set up a Tasker profile: When Power=AC or USB, Display Timeout = 7s. It shuts off in 7s when on my inductive charging pad, and the system setting of 1 minute when off the pad.

Sadly, it's two dollars, but this seems to be what you're looking for.
Option 1:
Install Xposed or other, I don't remember clearly...
Option 2:
With Tasker
-Power: Any AC
-System Lock
why it isn't possible to disable it without xposed?
know this is an old thread but just curious if there is a way to not have the display turn on when it reaches 100% while charging?

Old thread again but in Nougat, it's Settings/Display/Wake on plug, Disable.
Well now this thread is even older :*)
There is a app named "All My..." it contains no wake on charge. It should be a former xposed app that work on most phones so feel free to try.
Hey download.snoozy charger from play store

Option 2 worked for me on current up to date Samsung Note 9. Thank you so much. Tasker is great, I can't wait to see how many other issues I can use to resolve.

LOL This settings doesnt exist in the app
2021! Still looking for this.
2022 and it's ongoing. Who would want the screen to turn on when plugged in. On an LG phone you even get an annoying buzz which cannot be disabled even if in silent mode.
I purchased the only 4G model in Brisbane on Thursday. So glad I was talked out of the Galaxy Note!
It's sleek fast, light and all round awesome.
A few little issues...
- It will select a seemingly random spot on the screen and open a program or a link and I am perplexed at what just happened. Sometimes 2 in a row, usually different spots. Is this an issue with the device or just sensitivity to fingerprints/residue?
- Is it possible to modify or add options/settings to the notifications bar? I'd like a brightness slider. I can see no way of quickly changing it.
- I know there are at least 2 high current (2amp) USB charging standards (Samsung, iPhone) and I have dual USB chargers from 'GPS For Less' that work great for my SGS2 and SGT7. I am not convinced however, that they are charging my XZT at full rate.
- I use TouchPal Curve swipe keyboard but I don't seem to be able to make it smaller as I have been able to on my TAB. I have set 'Keyboard size'to smallest and 'Candidate' to small. The full size is great for my single finger typing but way too big for swiping. I also can't find how to turn off unwanted options in the above the keyboard, like MIC and twitter. What am I missing here?

This might make you uncomfortable but turn on the screen and attempt to flex the tablet. See if this triggers touch recognition. (Enable show touches in Developer Options to help show this.) I myself have personal experience with the tablet triggering recognition when that happens.
Alternatively, if you haven't updated the tablet to the latest software version, do so. The shipping firmware versions have a serious touch sensitivity problem and newer versions have fixed it.

I'm sure you know this, but pressing the wrench&screwdriver icon/top clock section of the notification shade will open some quick settings (a WiFi shortcut, brightness slider, etc.), but other than third party apps that offer notification settings toggles, you can't directly customize the notification menu (like on ASUS' customizations of Android).

This is still speculation, but it's said the XPERIA Tablet Z's MicroUSB port has a hard limitation to 500mAh and that you need the SGPDS5 charging cradle to deliver more than that. I do find mine charges in something around 4 hours with said cradle.
I can't help on the keyboard issue. I use the default PObox Japanese XPERIA keyboard.

I enabled 'Show Touches' a couple of days ago to see what it was doing. So, I have just twisted the tablet as suggested, and yes, did get a couple of touches.
Also updated to the latest on Saturday just gone. Now running build 10.1.1.A.1.307 Android 4.1.2. It still does it occasionally. Perhaps not as much. Do I need to call Sony about this?
I downloaded 'Notification Toggle' This does almost exactly what I wanted.Just missing the Brightness slider, but the multi toggle works great.
If the MicroUSB has a hard limitation of 500mAh, how would using a dock increase this? No external device can overcome a hardware limitation.
I should think its more than 500mAh. At that rate it would take well over 12 hours to charge the 6000mAh battery.
I have ordered a USB current/voltage meter so I will do some testing with various chargers and device states and report on this forum.

The dock does not use the USB port to charge the tablet's battery; instead, it uses the charging points located on the lower left side of the tablet. The charging points allow for a higher charging ampere value.
Oh Very cool.
I wonder if there will be other non-Sony devices/attachments that will utilise these. I wonder if I could retro something

I've been using my Galaxy S4 ATT charger with my Tablet Z and it works perfect, my tablet charges very fast, looks like it's using 2A, so maybe the hardware limitation doesn't exist. I've the SGP311.
I must be doing something different as it now seems to be charging at a reasonable rate. The first night, after some hours, it barely charged 20%.
Speaking of charging, there are a few other bits worth pointing out. Like the fact that the ROG Phone 3 supports passthrough power. This is great for prolonged gaming sessions since you are not constantly charging your battery up to 100% and pinning it there to its detriment. You are also not generating any excess heat in the power conversion process. The wall adapter is just delivering the amount of power the ROG Phone 3 currently needs for its internals, with the battery at rest and still ready to spring into action as a UPS, of sorts, if something happens to mains power. It's a distinctly PC approach to power management, which makes a lot of sense, especially on a gaming phone.
To do this go to Settings -> Advanced -> Mobile Manger -> Power Master -> Battery Care -> at the Bottom select want you want me i just selected the 90% which is my battery now is 91% so it works it didn't charge the battery, PowerCharger Pass-through directly to the phone. I downloaded "Ampere" apps to confirm see below Screenshot.

Hopefully they will put this on GameGenie without selection limit battery percentage so that it will can activate when playing Games and it will charge again once exit the game.

A recent update did add this feature. Once you got a game running for which Game Genie is enabled (reminder: YOU decide which apps to enable Game Genie for, and they need not be games), swipe from left edge to bring out its menu, scroll down the icons, and turn on Bypass charging. Outside of enabled games we're probably stuck with charge limits.
EDIT: Oops... 4 months late, but folks, the option is now there. If not, update.
