screen is on all night while charging, anyway to turn it off

[lifesaver1]

The problem I have found with these fixes is that the don't address the root problem, which is that a screen which has been manually turned off (via the power button), turns on automatically when the charge reaches 100%. It seems to be a bug or oversight in the programming of Kit Kat or the S5. I choose to have my phone set up such that it will "stay awake" when the battery is charging (by ticking that box in the Developer options area) because I sometimes use the phone in the car on a dashboard mount, plugged into a charger, and I don't want the screen to turn off. When I plug the phone in to charge it at night, I press the power button, which turns of the screen and I place the phone face down beside the bed. When it hits 100%, the screen turns on again and sits there on until I notice it and turn it off. Certainly I could turn the phone off at night to avoid this, but then I would not receive or place urgent calls (it is my only phone). As well, I could turn off the stay awake option, but for reasons noted I don't want to do so. The solution here, in my view, is a change in the programming of the software to stop this from happening.

Go to settings and then search "charging" using the search box at the top.

It should pull up an item under the Developer options "stay awake. Screen will never go to sleep when charging" in check this box.
For some reason it's defaulted and buried under the Developer options. Obviously an oversight when they rolled this out.

Here is the real solution. Use the charger that came with the S5. It need the 2 amp charger. If the amps are not enough the phone will beep and the light stays on.

I'm not seeing developer options when searching for charging.

My phone starts scrolling through the gallery once 100% charge is reached. I don't want my screen to be used up prematurely. I simply unplug it and turn it off when I awake in the middle of the night, but this should not be happening.

It's normal for it to light up for a few seconds once it hits full charge but then it should go back idle.

Yes, but it keeps going on every couple of minuts.
Irritating...

Hey, My Note 4 is doing the same...two diff charges...ding ding screen on...then off ding ding screen on...help!! I checked dev options and daydream is off as well....

Plug the charger into a timer and set for 2 or 3 hours. When the power is cut off to the charger the screen will also turn off.

I installed Battery Doctor just simply to be able to monitor a few things, and in Settings you can turn Notifications off.

I don't hear an 'end charge' noise.

I do hear a tinkle when it first starts charging, but how can that bother you. you are already awake and it is so brief.

Hello all, I read this on a S4 forum and it worked, the problem was on the developers option, the Stay Awake was clicked on, this means the screen will never sleep while charging. If you are having this problem just go to Settings, Developers option and unselect Stay Awake.

I was having this problem with my new S5, and this tip totally solved it! Thanks a million!

What a worthless comment. Asking the guy if he's up all night!? The tip to check Daydream, whether or it was on, was the good advice. My son's was doing the same thing, and low and behold, his was set to 'on'. He turned it off, and problem fixed.

Check developer options if you have turned them on. There is an option to leave. The screen on while charging.

Go to Settings ... Display ... Daydream ... and Turn it Off. Remember that: Fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill ...

 

[Chuck Furgason]

Thank you for that. I think your answer solves my situation.

You need to set the screen timeout from settings.
If the problem persists, perform a factory reset.
