Not ringing when charging. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So I just noticed today that my s3 isn't ringing when plugged into the charger. I Can't remember it ever doing this before. Pc, wall and usb connection no ringing. Am I forgetting a setting some place? The screen comes on one very short vibration and that's it.

Have you tried a battery pull? Go into you sound settings also and look around there. Could be a recent app you installed also.

Also, if you have installed Light Flow, there is a setting in it that can silence the device when charging cable is inserted.
Search all the settings under the charging settings. I have found that sometimes the settings change when the software is updated.

(Q) How to turn off notification beeps

I need to turn off the beep that occurs when certain actions take place such as;
Low battery
Removing/ inserting USB cable
There maybe other actions I'm not thinking of..if anyone knows of others, please post
I would like to turn off these beeps without putting the phone on silent. This is especially important when these beeps occur while wearing headphones, as the beep goes off what seems to be max volume, which I'm sure will cause me to go deaf with continued use! Any ideas anyone?

Same here
I was just about to post the same issue. I particularily detest the beep when I connect the USB cable, which I sometimes do when my wife is asleep, and the beep is quite disturbing. Also, when I pull out the USB after charging, the display is auomatically - and annoyingly - lit.
You can fix it - just put new ringtones, that what I do, and is better than before.
Note: You must root your phone!
? we just want to remove the usb connect notification...?
----- ^^new ringtone can't do anything for this ... :=)
any ideaS?

I don't know how to keep the display dark, sorry.
However, if you turn your phone to vibra or silent mode, at least the beep is not played. The phone will still vibrate once when pugged in and out, but it is less annoying.
maybe.. someday.. somehow...

hehe^^;=) thanks... possible "solution" ... ;=============)
but yes, especially with your wife sleeping.. a good suggestion :=)
Maybe (i also contacted Motorola) there will be an solution soon.
I sent them a mail with bugs / features / problems i discovered over the last weeks using the DEFY. From basic things which dont work (like this) to other "problems" ... and as response (the support is really good - less than 24hours for an answer) i got told that there'll be an maintenance update very soon.
so hopefully :=) *thumbsUp* :=) (and your wife can sleep without being disturbed :=)) - area europe / austria

How to stop screen dimming

This is prob a simple fix if you know where to look. When charging how do you stop the screen dimming. This is annoying when in the car and has only started doing it after the latest upgrade to 4.1.1.
Have looked in settings but cannot see anything in the display and battery sections.

you want the screen to stay on the entire time the phone is charging?
if so:
Settings > Developer Options > Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)
you want that checked.
No, he wants the screen not to dim after x amount of time, which it does even if set to stay awake during charge.

ahh yes, I see what's going on now. There's no direct setting for this (that I know of), but it would be very easy to set up in Tasker.
The screen normally dims 10 seconds (or is it 15 seconds) before it shuts off. So if you normally have it the screen turn off at 1 minute, it'll dim at around 45-50 seconds. However, when the option is checked to never turn off the screen when charging, the time at which the screen dims is still based on that same setting, and still occurs 10-15 seconds when the screen would have turned off (had the stay on setting not been checked).
If you already have tasker, you should be able to set this up in just a few minutes. Set up a profile that becomes active when the USB is plugged in. When that profile is active, it starts a task that sets the screen time to something crazy (like 20 hours). and if the screen time-out is set to 20 hours, then the screen shouldn't dim until 19 hours, 59 minutes, 45-50 seconds. and then set up an exit task so that when the USB cord is unplugged, it sets the display time-out back to what you normally use (1 minute for me, but set it back to whatever you normally want).
Zeinzu is correct in what is happening. Why this has changed in the update is strange.
"Member", I appreciate your reply but for a novice like me it seems a bit in depth. Where can I get this "tasker" and I will have a go.
Thanks for all your help on this.

Tasker is available on the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...MsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
it can be little confusing at first, but read through the online guides, and I'd also be happy to help you get it set-up (at least with the profile/tasks I mentioned above to get you going with Tasker).
That is not the issue. When the charger is plugged in by default the phone makes a noise very X seconds which can be turned off but the screen dims and brightens as well when the charger is plugged in. This is really annoying!
Apparently the S9+ does not like my USB hub for charging. The hub even has charging only ports. When I plugged the phone into the normal ports I kept getting a pop up ever few seconds about that the computer should do with the phone. The red light would pop on and off while plugged into the usb port. When I connected the phone to a wall charger this dimming stopped.
I was also see the charging message pop on and off which I thought was quite odd. That disappeared when connected to the wall. It would appear that the phone was probing the usb for some kind of connection?

Wireless Charging Notification

i am using wireless charger which makes my s3 pop up notification and sound when it starts charging or when battery is full, can someone point me where the notification sound is located in the system or how to disable, the only thing that stops from beeping is turning notification volume to off, which stops all of my notification sounds, any ideas?

Are you rooted? And the sound that it makes, is it the same sound as all your other notifications make?

yeah i am rooted, it makes a beep when put on charger and when battery full, only solution i found is to put phone into vibration mode or turn notification volume all the way down
I had the same frustration...
I recently came across the XPosed framework and have developed a module for it that:
Prevents the screen from turning on when a charger is connected
Disables the wireless charging popup
Disables the beep when a charger is connected
Prevents the screen from turning on when the battery is full
I will post a module once I've got past the min 10 post limit on dev threads.

Notification light not working

I have a stock Note 4, never been rooted. When I used to plug in the charger, the notification light would light up red with the screen off, and if I had notifications it would blink blue.
Today it stopped doing that. I tried restarting and removing the battery, same thing. The only time the light will come on is if I restart my phone, it turns blue for a little bit, but notifications nor a power cable plugged in will trigger it.
Phone is less than a month old, I don't have the TEP on it, would Sprint replace it with a refurb model if they're unable to fix it?
edit: I found a way around it by going to accessibility > notification reminder > and turning on LED indicator, when I turn it on though it warns me that using this feature disables the charging notification. I guess it’s better than having no notification light at all.
edit2: there's another option under settings > display and wallpaper > LED indicator. for some reason that was unchecked. turned it on and everything is back to normal.

Thank you!! I had the exact same problem and the "edit2" solution solved it perfectly. :highfive:
Has a proper fix been found for this yet? I have a Samsung Note 4 that was just updated to Android 5.1.1 and the LED notification stopped working. I have gone through all of the settings that effect it, but nothing works. I am not interested in a work around. I am only interested in having my phone function as it is supposed to.

Sound and charging issues with CM

I've switched from Barebone ROM to CM and have encountered two strange "issues" with sound and battery charging problem.
1. Is there any way to volume of in app sounds? For example in Facebook app sound then I press "Like" button is too loud, and only way to silence it is to set your Ring volume lower. Maybe is there some way to force sound control of this app to use Media volume, or something different? Because I like to keep my Ring volume at max at all times.
2. I use Poweramp to listen to music. It pauses if someone calls me or messages me. But in CM it autopauses if I hit like button in FB app (maybe it thinks it's a call, if "like" volume is only adjustable by Call volume...). It's quite annoying to be honest. Can I somehow make make player autopause only when ringtone/message tone is played?
About battery now.
I've got charging problem. ~4 of 5 times battery won't charge. It gives me error message ( http://imgur.com/UBfhJCr) even icon in status bar shows its charging - but it isn't. It happens on stock quick charge wall adapter with stock USB cable. Strange thing is that it works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea why. For now I just keep restating phone till it finally starts to charge. And, by the way, it stops charging at 87% last time and now it stopped on 43%. Rebboting seems not helping to start charging again. LED switches off and phone seems to act like charger isn't even plugged in. I've found similar issue being discussed on CM forums, but only real answer here was to reboot device (which for now isn't working for me). Has anyone experienced similar issues?
Update:
So my phone died on me on work. It wasn't charging even in bootloader mode. After turning it off and plugging in charger screen showed big battery icon, later on small battery icon with percentage inside (in my case 1%). But after ~10seconds screen and LED switched off and phone wasn't charging (tried to charge like this for 3 hours, still 1%).
So after returning home I plugged it in USB connected to PC and it's charging! I also plugged my LG G2 mini into same genuine Asus wall adapted I used and it's also charging... So charger isn't broken, nor phones charging port... Now I'm out of ideas why Asus charger stopped charging my Zenfone.

There's an option in settings > sounds (I believe) to link notification and ringtone volume, maybe that has something to do with it?

Try charging your Zenfone with the LG charger. If that works, it's likely that the quick charge part of the ASUS charger or your Zenfone isn't working correctly. Try reflashing CM or go back to stock ROM and see if it charges with the ASUS charger then.
