Android Central Question
I had this annoying lock screen that would pop up every time I plugged my phone in to charge. It had a super big charge % at the top and random ads that would pop up that I could not get rid of despite trying everything.
I finally found the answer on a Samsung forum. The annoying lock screen, which was called "smart charging," was actually a setting in a flashlight app I had downloaded called Super bright flashlight, I believe. If you open that flashlight app and go into settings, you see the option to turn smart charging off.
Who would have known!
You can also turn the setting off by tapping the 3 dots in the top right corner of the annoying lock screen. I believe it turns itself back on though after a few, so I would just recommend uninstalling it. You don't need it anyways. The S8 comes with a built in flashlight in the notification bar.
