Why does my screen keeping going on and off while charging?

[kwitel]

Granted I am using a non-Samsung "Seneo" desktop wireless cradle that i bought on Amazon...but ive had it for almost a year and this just started happening.

Any ideas?

The connection between the two must fluctuate, and each time they reconnect the screen lights up...

You say the connection "must" fluctuate...then how come I only recently started having this problem?

There are hundreds of variables. When the screen lights up, does it say "wirelessly charging 50%" or similar? If it does, the phone thinks it has just connected to the charger and commenced charging. Mine will do that if I disturb the device whilst sitting on the pad...

No...it just turns on and off...

And you have the stay awake while charging turned off in developer options?
If you've had software updates, a cache partition wipe is always a good idea to clean out the debris.
Settings can also slip after updates, so a wander thorough them is useful.

Do you mean "screen will never sleep while charging"? Thats now off...
Should that be on so that it can sleep while charging?

Wpied my cache about two weeks ago.

Scratch the above...i guess it should stay off and it already is...

Sounds like you have all the settings where they sound be. Perhaps some app is walking up the device. Have you installed any new apps around the time this started?

This has been covered in may previous charging threads. I seem to find that if my phone is not fully within the sweet spot on the wireless charger, it will go into a charge loop like this when at %100.
