I plug my phone in before going to sleep and when the battery is fully charged the "Battery Full" Notification sounds. The problem is it repeats every 1 - 2 minutes. I have tried everything I can think of to stop it. I need to leave my phone on at night for work purposes so shutting it off or putting it in silent mode is not an option.
My wife has the same phone and hers doesn't repeat the notification.
Any thoughts?

Have you tried to see if its because your cable might be faulty? Faulty as in it gives charge on and off so the notification shows up every minute or so because it thinks you just plugged it in again.

No but I am using a longer after market cable. I will swap tonight and see what happens. Thanks!
I've had my G3 since the 11th release date and had same issue that day, next day and not again till yesterday. No idea what I did different to have it happen again. I'm using stock charger and cable it came with. It's on charge every night. The message and notification seem to me to be intermittent as I havent identified anything that would explain the gap in that issue from day two to just yesterday...
I also noticed certain notifications play both through headphones AND the phone speaker even when phones are connected but apparently that's an android known bug.
It maybe a faulty safety feature that's supposed to prolong the life of your battery. It's not good for your battery to set at 100% for long periods of time so some roms stop charging for a short period of time so battery can drain slightly to prevent damage. You may also have a faulty charging block, switch it out and see what happens. Also really long USB cables are a no-no because it can deteriorate the signal and cause voltage to drop.

Thanks everyone - I switched to the OEM charger / cable and the issue is resolved.
I've had it happen when using a particular HTC charger. I have 2 of those chargers and only one of them does it.

It was in fact the charger from my HTC One that I was using. I guess that plus the extra long aftermarket cable caused the issue...

I have the same annoying issue. I just unplug it.

So.. I have googled the crap out of this problem and seen loads of issues raised, but nothing solved.
I am coming from a Dell Streak and grabbed me a galaxy s 2 from craigslist a couple months back.
It has been running fine and I have tried a few roms/kernels and a few days ago I got the following error:
When charged to 100%, I get the notification to unplug, when I do, it sticks. No big deal but even when the phone battery has dropped to around 80% it stays.
It does not go into MTP mode or think it is plugged in via USB. Although, before this problem originated, the phone continuously vibrated between charging and not, when not plugged in.
I have calibrated the battery, tried a mixture of roms/kernels and I am now on unrooted stock. The problem still occurs and sometimes it does not recognise a USB connection, like today.
Probably worth mentioning that when turning on (and not plugged in) the phone does not turn right on, just boots into the battery screen and flashes between the battery charging and the overheating symbol.
Anyone got any ideas?

Turn off the phone and put it on charging. Once it beeps that its fully charged, quickly unplug the battery for 5-10 minutes. Should work and 'recalibrate' your battery

Thanks, giving a go now.
Do you need root to calibrate though? I am on stock firmware and not in front of a windows machine to use ODIN.

OK, charged to 100% and got the full notification.
Left battery out for 10 mins and whacked it back in.
Turned on and it went to the overheating sign again.
Booted into the samsung recovery and I can boot into android from there.
Battery says it is as 88, cannot calibrate as I do not have root atm.
Any ideas?

Get root and use the battery calibration tool from the market. The best idea so far. I suggest rooting with CF-Root, its fast and easy - its basically still your stock kernel but just with root.
If you really need the warranty or you'r scared of root you can install cf-root, calibrate the battery, then re-flash a stock kernel (unroot)

If i helped you, press thanks. Thanks.
Done and done.
Calibrated, even bought a new battery. Tried various other roms and appears to be an issue. Phone knows when USB is plugged in but does not seem to recognise the unplugging of the charger. And stays at 100% for a while before dropping down to like 80.
One thing to note is that this seemed to happen around the time of buying a dock for the samsung from Amazon, by Kidigi. I plugged the phone in to the dock without a USB cable connected to the dock and the dock LED lit up, making the phone think it was charging. Is this likely to have caused it/messed up the micro usb forever?
Thanks again guys!
well i think ive figured out what the problem was
Its due to overcharging or keeping the charger connected after battrey is full which has caused a hardware damage
im not sure if this is true but this is the closest explanation i can get the phone shows connected to charger even when diconnected only when i keep it connected for long time even after its battrey is full my usb connection has completely stopped working

well that the same problem with me when it shows connected to charger at 100% i restart it then the phone drops to ~80% battery although its 100% which makes the app battery monitor widget think i have a 1977mah battery while i have the standard 1650mah battery this must be the extra 20% which disappeared after the restart for me
I thought it may have been an overcharging problem, although no other phone I have owned has had this problem.
I let the battery charge all the way down (it stayed at 1% for about 3 hours) until it shut itself off. I left it on the side and it created a clicking noise, it was trying to turn the phone on as it knew the battery was in, even though it was depleted.
I plugged it in via USB to charge and it tried to turn on straight away. Shut it down and charged by plug until the 100% notification then turned on.
Still the same problem but one of my battery widgets warned that the battery was over voltage for a while before calming down.
If the phone cannot be off with the battery in, what could be causing that?

It has been known to be caused by a defective circuit board for the USB connector.
So, it needs a samsung return, I assume?
i have the same problem with overheating and usb plugged when there is nothing connected
i changed the usb port from the phone but it still having the problem!!!
i will try to put a new battery and see if it work and after post a reply
So the past two nights iv let my rezound battery go dead. The problem is it wont charge a dead battery. It charges if there is some battery and its on but when it is dead it is dead. The fix was I had to put the rezound battery in my tbolt to get a little bit of juice.
Any ideas or similar problems? I am unlocked with the htc unlock tool and running nils business sense?
Could it be a rom bug?
Don't let your battery die. It's bad for it anyway.
Sent from the Rez Beast
Once the battery is dead what does the LED on the phone do? If it blinks for a while it is either too hot or too dead to turn on, but it can still charge eventually. If the LED is not coming on at all I would pull the battery out and connect the charger with no battery and see if the LED comes on. If still no luck, get a new charger.
Blinks then Charges
I had the battery die on me once (on a prior battery and prior rezound). The phone will blink orange for a WHILE (I tried 3 different chargers not knowing what it was), but eventually started to charging. I think patience is needed. If, after 15 minutes, you still aren't charging, then that's something (but longer if the phone was also hot).
If I hit he power button with or without the battery in the led will light for a short time. I had it plugged in all night and no charge. I used two different plugs.
As for not letting it die. I know its not ideal but I couldn't help it.

+1. Same thing here.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I let my phone die completely once. I freaked out that my phone wasn't charging. I went onto HTC's site and it said that it could take 20 or more for the led to turn on while charging if the phone was completely dead. Just plug it in and be patient. It will charge and the led will eventually turn on.

I had this problem too, and am a little concerned I have a defective phone
So I had this issue happen this weekend. My daughter was using the phone when it died. Couldn't get it restarted. (I am unlocked via HTC, stock ROM with bloat removed. Phone is a week old.)
After messing with it using the factory charger/cable and other chargers/cable combinations I got nothing. Light would only intermittently come on for a second or two then go back off.
I charged it over night with the factory charger/cable. Didn't work the next day. Charged it all day and night with my old charger/cable that I know works. Didn't work.
Tried multiple variations of taking out the Battery/Sim/SD card and using the plug-in chargers & CPU USB variations with no success.
Luckily, I had ordered a new spare battery and it came in the mail before I returned the phone. Plugged it and it started up fine.
But my concern is that my phone is not properly charging. I have also had other similar charging/battery life issues that raise concern.
As far as not letting it die, **** happens and phones die, if this is a reoccurring problem, that in my mind is pretty unacceptable. A phone should charge when its plugged in no matter what. I may end up returning it to see If just got a defective phone/battery.
My phone will turn on then off and im starting to think it has something to do with the battery. But when it started it was in tue yelllow on the status bar, now i have it charging without being turned on and the indicator light is on but hopping mine will fire up soon. This all just happened to me within the last two hours lol, already called verizon to get a replacement but still going down there tomorrow.

--I agree, but once it gets down to 5%, why not just turn it off knowing the problems people are having so wide spread now.
Under the exact same conditions I have had the same problem with a warm battery reboot. It seems to occur when you are talking on the phone and let it die. Once it dies the phone will not reboot. My wife has the exact same phone. When I put her battery in my phone the phone works fine. My wife’s phone dies every night and she simply plugs it in the wall and it charges no problem. Again the conditions seem to be related to the battery dying while it is hot. If the battery dies while the phone is cool and not used then it seems to reboot no problem. I will go to Verizon tomorrow to look for a fix. I will let you know what happens.
I'm also having this problem but i can return my phone because i unlock it or can i return it ?
Check and see if your battery is 3.7 or 3.8v . I wonder if it is related to the charging issue with the 3.8v battery some people seem to be having.

I had the same issue with my OG Droid. Would kill the battery and it would stay dead, even after a whole night of charging. The above method seemed to work for me.
I make 100% sure mine never goes totally dead after an experience I had with my Droid Charge.
I accidentally let it die completely (I fell asleep when it was almost dead & it ran all night). The next morning it was off, I put in a fully charged battery & it fired right up but started FCing like crazy. Every single thing I clicked on force closed immediately, I had never seen anything like it.
I was running a custom ROM & kernel & had done a nandroid BU the day before. I restored the BU & the phone ran perfectly again, but that scared me enough that I made darn sure it never happened again LOL........

Holy ****!!! I think I may have found the fix! I have had the same exact problem as everyone in here. It seems to happen once I root. My Rezound would die completely, then after plugging it in, the light would come on for 5 seconds or less then shut off. I plugged it into my computer and Windows makes the USB Connected sound, so I figured something is happening.
I went into my command prompt and *adb devices*. It showed my device, but says in recovery mode. I then *adb reboot bootloader* and the bastard rebooted into bootloader! From there, I chose "REBOOT" and it fired right back up! Anyone who is having this problem, please try this and let me know if it works for you!
***UPDATE***
It appears when the battery dies all the way and then doesn't charge, the phone is automatically going into recovery mode even though nothing shows on the screen. I had my SIM card out when I tried this the first time, then when putting my SIM back in, it started doing the same thing. But again, it was going directly into recovery mode. This time, I tried a simple *adb reboot* and BAM! I'm back up and running! Again, let me know if this works for you, or if you need help doing this, let me know.

Yes... HTC phones never charge "powered off" When you turn it off and then put it on the charger, it is actually entering/booting a special screen off recovery mode during charging.
CWM recovery on the rezound has trouble charging a completely dead battery.
Use Amon RA recovery.
Gidday - This morning I woke up to find my phone had switched itself off during the night while on charge.
Last night I put my phone to charge through USB connected to my PC in sleep mode. I've been charging the phone like this since I got it 3 weeks ago and its been working fine.
When I woke up in the morning I found the phone off and when I gave the power button a short press expecting it to show me the time all I got was a battery charging symbol.
When I went to bed I had the standard "Clock" feature running that comes standard with the Neo so it acts like a bedside clock and I always have the Wifi on when I'm at home.
No other applications were running in the background apart from the normal stuff but I'm quite concerned that the phone turned itself off while I was sleeping because I use the alarm feature to wake me up when I need to go to work and I know these Android phones do not wake themselves up to run the alarm.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Now this is very funny you say this because this happens to me,,, but I'm convinced I turn it off myself,in my sleep my partner confirms lol
But seriously could of just been a reboot
As long as it don't happen again it should be no great consern ''unless you sleep in for work'' lol

I heard charging like this(from night to morning) is not good for the battery.The owner of the shop where I brought my W595,Neo V specially told me NOT to do this,as he said this can reduce both battery life and phones life.Anyway don't get that much concerned about itself switching off mate after only happening it once.But if can in future don't charge like that.
lol kormatoes ,I on the other hand when ppl call in night sometimes I was told that I just answer it and instead talking keep it beside my pillow thinking it was alarm and go back to sleep xD
Was the phone fully charged when you woke up? If not I would guess something went wrong with the laptop..
I've never left my phone plugged into a laptop for charging, I always use the wall plug overnight.. And don't worry, plugging your phone in every night is not bad for your battery it control's the charge and drops down to 98% when it gets to 100% before charging again.. This trickle effect on a li-ion battery is fine (would have been bad for nicad or nimh tho) and your using a laptop usb which only delivers about 500ma that's a really nice slow (low C) charge rate, li-ion and li-poly batteries love to keep topped up, what they hate is to be discharged to much. (my 2c)
If you're really worried about this (random shutdown) happening on a work day then use the wall charger the phone came with.. Just to eliminate any other factors that might have contributed to it turning off (use the laptop on your days/nights off to try and replicate the fault) would be interesting to figure it out what caused it..

Thanks for your comments guys.
I'm not sure why charging it via usb is going to do it any harm? or was the guy in the shop trying so say that its not good to have the phone plugged into the charger for hours on end once it gets fully charged? either way I've been thinking that charging via usb is better for the battery because its a lower energy input and therefore charges the battery slower/cooler which in turn should make it last longer (just guessing here - no science to back this up)
Then there is the having it plugged in while at 100% - I've noticed that the phone somehow disconnects itself and stops charging the battery when at 100%. I noticed this today when I started my phone after its surprising shutdown = the battery was fully charged (because it had been plugged in all night) and the battery display refused to show me that the phone was plugged in (when it was) so I turned on the flash light feature and blasted some music to drop the %tage down and sure enough as soon as the percentage dropped below 100% the indicators on the phone started to show the batter was charging (both via the lightening bolt in the normal battery icon and also on my battery monitor which tells me if its charging and how much longer it will be charging for).
I'm looking forward to seeing if the phone is still on tomorrow when I get up.
Any more ideas much appreciated - once might not sound like much but if the alarm/phone had the potential to be even the slightest bit unreliable then I'm going to have to go back to the old alarm clock. At least with my Nokia I could even switch the phone off and the alarm would still chime (we've all experienced this with the old school phones) but I notice that android hasn't managed this yet.

Thanks for your thoughts Kiwi (I've only just figured out who this is ) - The laptop was in sleep mode and from what I've experienced the only thing that works when in this mode is the usb ports - the Wifi and the Bluetooth shut down and I'm guessing that the processor mostly shuts down too? guessing here?
But even so what on the computer might cause the phone to crash?

Sorry if my earlier post was confusing,he told me its not good to have it plugged into the charger for longer periods of time after its fully charged.I too normally charge it with pc as phone came with one usb cable + charger plug with usb port & usb cable is always attached to my pc.Anyway about that keeping it for the whole night is bad theory I'm not sure if its correct or wrong but I prefer not keeping it plugged in for like 6-7 hours everyday while it only need 2-3 hours maximum to fully charge.

I've noticed that when you reboot while plugged in, it might just go right into charge mode. Try turning it on, and then plug it in righ thereafter. Likely it will not boot, but go to the charge animation.

Hmm interesting theory - but I've tried it and the phone has restarted : (
Probably a good thing but still no closer to finding the solution except I'm wondering if it was because my ROM memory was pretty much full? So in case it was I've moved a few things from System apps to User apps in the hope that the phone wont switch off by itself again.

If you're rooted, I can recommend Link2SD.
HilfordJames and I have discussed this in length already so this is more for other people's benefit..
Link to sd can be dangerous, as can forcing apps to sd that don't offer the choice normally, app developers block the option to install to sd for a reason, that is usually because the app accesses services that can become corupt or crash if the app is suddenly ejected from the phone (like when you mount the sd card on the computer) so its best to leave those apps on the internal memory.
The most likely reason for the overnight shutdown would be (as you said) that you had filled your system memory up with user apps.
Sure enough once you've deleted all that bloatware from the system you have heaps of room just begging to be filled in the system partition.. But you gotta leave some room in there (about 60-70mb should be enough)
I think another thing could be if your computer somehow woke up in the middle of the night and accessed (auto mounted) your phones sd card, sounds unlikely but I've had laptops run scheduled updates in the middle of the night when they were supposed to be "asleep" if this happened and you had an application running off sd card that uses phone services (like Wifi, bluetooth etc) this may have crashed the phone.. And as it was plugged into power remained shutdown.. Once again (AFAIK) these apps should be installed on the phone not sd card. (games and similar apps are fine on sd card)
Just a couple of theories, but I think we are on the right track

Yip all good.
Since transferring a lot of the files/apps back to user memory I've not had the phone auto shutoff and I've tested it by leaving it on the CPU at night as well and it seems fine - although I now charge it from the wall charger if I'm working the next day just to be on the safe side.
After the Amber update both my phone and my wife's phone randomly will play the "charging" notification sound when sitting on the wireless charging pad. The screen also lights up. This is annoying in the middle of the night. Is anyone else seeing this?

The new update changed the sensitivity to the position that the phone is on the charger. It has to be dead center now or it will not link right.By dead center I mean equal amounts of the phone overhang front and back.

I was very careful to place the phone centered on the pad and it still does it. Do you have a link to an article about this change?

No just from my own experience. Mine did it at first but I noticed I had not centered it. After centering it, it quit. I also noticed it now chimes or makes a notice when it reached full charge. No way to disable from what I see.
I've noticed that the wireless charging will eventually stop (seemingly after the phone is fully charged and has been sitting on the charger for a while) and the phone will power itself from the battery. So, for example, if it were to reach full charge during the night, in the morning it may be at 90% even though it's still sitting on the charger. Has anyone else noticed this?

I only had this issue with a third party charger. When using the nokia charging plate, this issue does not arise. I can see no battery drain in the battery app for the time periods in which the phone was on the nokia charging plate.

I see this with Nokia chargers. Both the charging plate and the JBL PowerUp speaker.
Still happening

My phone continues to play the notification sound and turn on the screen several times during the night. I am wondering if it is chiming when it reaches 100% and then it stops charging, looses some charge, turns back on and then chimes at 100% again. I checked the phone and it was quite hot. This is annoying and I now have set it to vibrate so it doesn't wake me up. Nokia/Microsoft needs to fix this.

Mine was doing that but if I place it on the charger so that the bottom edge with the speakers line up with the same edge of the charger end with the LED then the phone will stay quite all night. I really think the new update raised/lowered the sensitivity of the proximity/nfc sensor in the phone.
My phone is having issues charging even with three different cables. If I plug the phone in while it is off, it turns on and says it's charging. But it doesn't receive a charge. If the phone is on and I plug it in, it says it's charging on the lock screen, but the icon doesn't change to the charging symbol and it doesn't receive a charge. I have tried wiggle the cable a bit while it's plugged in, but that doesn't help. It doesn't seem like others are having this same issue either. Am I screwed? I also unlocked my phone. Does that mean I am double screw and Huawei won't help me?

Hey all, here is a quick update. I spoke with a gentle from Huawei and was suppose to get a replacement sent out. However, I believe I was under volt charging the device and that's why I got those strange issues. It recharges every time from my car and my computer, but not from my wall. Kimtyson, Huawei said the exact same thing as you. Good call!
With the phone running, go to Phone Manager and then go to Power Saving and then Consumption Level. Is Cell Standby draining your battery? It is on mine.

For me, it's only 2.94%. I have to say though, going from 4.3 to 5.1 was a huge difference in life battery. For the worse. I went from one charge every 3 to 4 days to once a day.
However, I believe the USB port might be broken. I don't know why though. I haven't been rough it or charged it at a angle that would put extra pressure on it.
It might be worth doing a factory reset and\or reinstalling. Could be a bad flash or something. Also, try returning to JB. Just make a TWRP backup or something so you can get back to where you are now. See if everything is working back in JB. If so, it's not the USB port.
