New action when charging, please help me fix

[spwexler]

So, there was an update Android system view, this update added 2 z play apps, which is fine. However, when I now plug in the phone I get this annoying display that comes up, telling me the percentage charged, and I have to swipe away to get rid of it. I don't want the phone to do anything when I plug it in. Furthermore, if I get a text when plugged in, I get that annoying screen again and have to swipe it away. There used to be an option to control what the phone does when plugged in. Called moto, they blamed Google and said can't change it. Help!

Found the fix in developer options.

Well, sorta. When phone goes to sleep, still getting that annoying screen.

Can you take a screenshot? Power + volume down.

 

[spwexler]

Yes.

I've never seen that screen on my Z Force. What launcher are you using?

 

[spwexler]

Google now

The advertisement makes me wonder if it's being done by some app that's installed. Here's a screenshot of my lock screen, which will come up for several seconds when I plug the phone in, then go back to black. I'm using Nova Prime launcher.
*edit* just switched over to Google Now launcher temporarily to test. It looks & behaves the same when plugged in.
*edit2* same goes for "launcher 3", the stock launcher on the Z force.

It looks like it was the z play camera app that recently appeared on my phone. Uninstalled it and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the help.

That screenshot I have seen for CM Security app. It has some battery saver feature which brings this screen while charging. It can be disabled through app setting.

@OP, Are you on a Verizon phone?

 

[spwexler]

I don't have CM security. I am on Verizon. Once I Uninstalled z play gallery and z play camera the issue went away.

Were they specifically named "Z Play Camera" and "Z Play Gallery"? The stock apps should be "Camera" and "Google Photos".

 

[spwexler]

Yes. They appeared after updates to some moto system apps.

What browser(s) do you have installed? There's a couple of them that updated a couple of months ago that do precisely this. The one I experienced it with personally could be disabled in it's menu options but it pretty well steamed me so I just uninstalled it. Who puts a "battery saver" in a browser & installs without warning?

@maxman1

What 3rd party browser did you use that had the battery notifications?

 

[spwexler]

It wasn't a browser. After a recent moto update z play gallery and z play camera got put on my phone and it appears it came from those.
