BEEP! Annouing beep whole night while wireless charging.

**mnagy48** · 09-24-2012, 12:40 PM

Yeah, I can't spell. Meant to put "annoying" not "annouing."

Ok. So I have the S3 with the Samsung Wireless Charging cover and the Pad from Verizon.

I place it on to charge. Loud beep from the pad, a boink sound from device and vibration from device indicating its now charging. Cool.

3am. I'm awoken to a beep, a boink sound and vibration from my device with a message that says it's charging. Strange. Look at the battery, it's at 100%. Figure it's the full charge notification. Annoying. Look up online if I can stop it, consensus is no its a "feature."

Whatever. Go back to sleep. From that point on, every 5 minutes what happens? Beep boink vibrate with the message. Every 5 minutes. The whole night.

I had the phone on vibrate. On silent. On loud. Turned bunch of settings off and still did it.

Does anyone else's do this? Is it with the pad or the phone? The message that keeps going off is the same message when I begin the charge. It's almost like it looses connection and reconnects every 5 minutes. Needless to say, a big pot of coffee was in order in the am.

If I am awoken by the vibration, it is usually followed by a boink ... ;-)

Did you turn down your notifications, or just use the volume button on the side?

**mnagy48** · 09-25-2012, 03:53 PM

I tried it both. I used the volume buttons, I also switched it to silent. I noticed tonight it seems like right when the battery is at 100%, the phone disconnects from the charging pad. Then a few minutes later (or however long later, we all know how time flies when sleeping) it goes down to 99% and connects and starts to charge again (hence the reconnect notification, and the BEEP!) So it seems once charged, the pad disconnects the phone and when it realizes that its at 99% and needs charged again, it reconnects. Very annoying. I use Tasker to do a lot of things. At night, I have I USUALLY have it set to vibrate, but because the vibration is loud I set it to 5% volume and it wasn't as noticable, but the annoying beep from the pad is. Reading stuff online, it seems if you take apart the pad and remove the speaker it renders the pad useless. Weird.

settings > sounds> notifications...set it to silent at night. You're getting an email or charge is complete as you said in the middle of the night. There's an app called audio manager or something like that that will link all 4 different ringtones (for lack of a better term in my inebriated state) together, so then you can just use the volume key on the side of the phone...like pure Android will let you...I turn my ringer to vibrate, and set the vibrate on calls really low so it will wake me up, but not annoy me with a single vibrate. It sounds to me like your system ringtone is what's getting you. Turn it down, or set it for a ringtone of SILENT.

The beep is from the charging pad and not the phone. What is happening is the phone reaches 100% so charging turns off. It drains to 98 or 99% and the charging turns back on and you get the announcement beep saying charging has begun.

VERY ANNOYING FEATURE

My wireless charging at night issue is the screen turning on when charge is complete. Then there is a VERY annoying bright light in the bedroom. I have ended up taking the phone off the charger and placing in Airplane mode until morning. I have reached out to Samsung on twitter about how to turn off the battery fully charged notification. I will update when I hear something.

UPDATE: Samsung Support USA ‏@SamsungSupport

@perryspires Unfortunately there isn't a way to shut this feature off. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks! ^av

Great...

Are there any other charging pads from different manufacturers that don't beep and will work with the Verizon S3 charging back cover.

I have the Samsung S3 and I don't have the "settings > sounds> notifications..." menu item. Just settings > sounds> Default notifications which lets me play a different sound.

I have the Energizer charging pad and it does not make any sounds. However, my Galaxy S3 does make the annoying sound every time it reaches 100% or drops below 100%. We need an option to eliminate the notification and the popup could go as well as far as I am concerned.

**Murphy5111** · 11-17-2012, 08:15 AM

I used to use an app called battery charged silencer on my gs2 that stopped the phone from beeping when fully charged. But the pad beeping and the light coming on might be impossible to change.

When I tried it, it didn't work.

Steve-
I use three touchstone daily with my S3. One at home, one at work and one mounted in my car. I bought the wireless charging back from Ebay( ), It works great! Charges faster than the stock charger that came with the phone.

**ScottChapman** · 11-29-2012, 08:08 PM

Oh man I just got my Zens for my S3. Same thing!

It just keeps turning my screen every five minutes or so to tell that it is starting/stoppping charging!

Any way to make the notifications stop? Is it the phone, or the charger??

I just got the Zens kit for the S3 in the mail the other day also. My wife woke me up and told me to shut my phone off because of the constant beeping. I find it amazing that Palm had this worked out perfectly in 2009, but now nothing works well. Oh well, I guess this is going back in the box.

**cdegiorgis** · 12-27-2012, 11:33 AM

My Samsung Stratosphere just started beeping and displaying a message while it is being charged. Like every incremental percentage .. for example, 15% charged, 16% charged, etc... I can't tell you how annoying this is AND it just started. I've had my phone for 4 months and its never done this before. This occurs with the wired wall charger. I can't seem to find any setting that would address this. I can put all sounds to vibrate, but that is not the solution. Any suggestions?

**ScottChapman** · 01-16-2013, 08:22 PM

Anyone have any more success with this?

**Okadz** · 02-03-2013, 07:53 AM

I'm going to try the 'blocking mode' tonight Its like a do not disturb (for ex Apple users)
You can toggle calls or notifications etc and have allowed contacts ie for those family emergency calls. May I'll get a whole night of sleep.

Well no luck there. Even with notifications turned of in the blocking mode still had beeps. But have noticed it doesn't do it all the time.
Tried apple charger aswell still beeps

**AgileSynapse** · 02-11-2013, 04:51 PM

/Sigh Was really hoping to come in this thread and find a solution. The search continues...

**thenorthwest22** · 02-24-2013, 10:24 PM

I came to this thread with the same hopes of getting answers about the beeping. I have found no pattern to it. At first I thought the beeping was related to the phone charging but I have found it is random and sometimes it will beep every 3 seconds then sometimes it will beep every 30 seconds and so on. It is driving me crazy! If I'm watching a video you can hear the beep over the audio, when my phone is on vibrate the beep turns into a buzz. I have looked and tried every setting possible even if the setting has nothing to do with audio. I haven't had a chance to go into a tmobile store (my provider) but that is the only place where I think I will get answers. I thought I should share my story because alot of comments I've seen online in response to this problem are not helpful and if it isn't happening to your phone I don't think you can understand it. It isn't a matter of simply putting your phone on silent. That doesn't work. Good luck! (Also blocking mode did not work for me! I have a samsung note II btw)
