New Battery charging display after pie update, S8

[Chicken Mummy]

Hello kind people of the Internet,

I have an S8 that has just updated its version of Pie and now I have an unwanted display when I plug in any charging method. Does anyone know if it can be turned off? Hopefully screenshot attached.

Have you cleared the cache partition and rebooted yet?

The phone rebooted as part of the update, this looks like a new feature... that I don't want.

So, no then. Good luck

Thanks, although I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic. I'm afraid I didn't understand your original question about clearing caches, I have not rooted my phone; this was an auto update to stock software, this presumed new feature has appeared and I wondered if anyone knows how/ if it can be turned off.

Yup, I was. One of the 1st steps when you glitch after an OS change is to clear the cache partition and reboot.
You may be using a theme or wallpaper impacted by the update. It's an infrequent though common experience.
Rebooting with a cache clear is harmless and potentially the fix.

Well, thanks again. How silly of me not to know this when asking for help on a help forum.

Double check any application or apps and even a widget you are using that's causing this , does it stay like while plug into a charger?

I've had a good look around my apps but so far I can't detect anything that's the cause. This battery display is only on momentarily then the phone returns to normal operation, but it's frustratingly unnecessary to me.
Edit, it must be pie as it happens even when in full power save mode and "useful apps" are limited.

So it pops up briefly when you plug in to charge and then goes away... I fail to see the problem here...

 

[methodman89]

So the pic you posted is the splash screen when you hook to a charger? Mine does that too. Always has.

Yes your summary is correct. You may not see a problem but I didn't want this and was wondering if there was a way of stopping it, however it appears not.

Yes, and mine never has, until now.

You're asking for help to solve a "problem" that doesn't exist. Talk about nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking... smh

Yeah momentarily, it's normal..

Nope... it's here to stay... quick, board up the windows, lock the doors... the end is near....../s

It was a legitimate question. Your sarcasm is not necessary. By the way, my Verizon S8 on Pie does not do that, and never has.
