Charging Indicator[Solved]

[Jetskier222]

My phone used to display a charging indicator for a few seconds when I plugged it in, but it has stopped. Anyone know of a setting to get it back.?

Re: Charging Indicator

Did this start after a system update? I wonder if they took away that particular animation.

Re: Charging Indicator

Nope. Also, it still works one my wife's and kid's S8s

Re: Charging Indicator

You haven't adjusted any of the Display Over Other Apps/Screen Overlay options, right?

No, nothing. It just stopped working.

It's a minor thing but very frustrating

Re: Charging Indicator

This thread seems to indicate that the charging animation is from a 3rd party app: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/btdbvv/annoying_battery_charging_animation/
@mustang7757, do you know for sure if this is supposed to be a native feature on Samsung, or does it seem more like a 3rd party thing?

EDIT: Never mind, looks like it was an official thing added with an update: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/bw820f/new_charging_animation_in_may_security_patch/

Re: Charging Indicator

It's been there since I first got the phone until a week or so ago, and both my wife's and daughter's phone have it, so I believe it's part of the OS

It is official but went away with updates

Are your wife's and daughter's phones fully up to date as well?
