[Q] How can I disable the radio/plugged in/unplugged sounds? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Say for instance you turn airplane mode off and on, when the radio is turned back on there is a little chime. Same for when you plug the charger in, or unplug it. I've had this turned off before, but then I updated my ROM.
Please help, and thanks.

Use a custom ROM, I know Syndicate Frozen has the sounds disabled but I'm sure others do too.

Use Root Explorer and go to system/media/audio and find the charger sound and replace it with a silent one. The radio off/on sound has plagued the devs for a long time. It is imbedded in the source somewhere and to my knowledge no one has been able to remove it.

it is a known issue with CWM.
You didn't do anything wrong, nor is there anything messed up. This is a known issue with ClockWorkMod at the moment. There is a 'fixed' version (unofficial) floating around somewhere, but it's not ideal. Depending on why you're turning your phone off, there are a number of alternatives:
1. put your phone in airplane mode while charging - this turns off all the radios, so your phone will charge *MUCH* quicker than it would otherwise. You can, of course, turn the display off, if the light is bothering you
2. Simply put the phone in silent mode (and either put it face down or turn the display off) if you're doing this while you're asleep.
There's an explanation on the ClockworkMod thread, but it doesn't really matter - fact is, that's how it is (for now).
Thank you Orange Bandit. I shut off my phone only to feel better about it charging, not getting hot I suppose. I always got this feeling charging the phone while it's on isn't too healthy. I think I will try the airplane mode!

I don't turn my phone off ever, unless it's locked up or something. I do have an app that I got from the market called CT Scheduler that automatically reboots my phone at a specified time (I have it at 2am every morning, while i'm asleep). Aside from that, my phone is literally always on.
The phones nowadays are designed to be used all the time - charging it with the phone on won't hurt it, but it most definitely charges faster in airplane mode. Often, if my battery is low and I've got 15-20 minutes to drive somewhere, I'll put it on airplane mode to charge in the car, just to get a bit more juice.
Somebody did post in that thread with a fix to the recovery. I have had it for some time now and it works great.
Is the fix official? Or at least work as well as the original wit no hiccups?

hey folks, im coming over from the galaxy s section...besides not staying off to charge, are any other problems reported? for instance, we use a program called odin to flash without cwm. its a kind of fail-safe. but, i cant get my pc to recognize the phone....anything similar with your phones? not looking for help necessarily, just similar occurrences.

As mentionned in the forums already: it's a feature with CWM, not a bug. All you can do is to set it to "hibernate" if you have the choice in the power menu.
Thats not really a feature if im not allowed to turn my phone off i dont have a hibernation option either.
Also the battery went down 15% over 8 hours with screen off.
There is also almost no dictionary on cm7
powered up
Well better then no power at all, how was sound quality while making phone calls. At least it will boot to cwm.
Sound is still tinny but i use bluetooth so it doesnt bother me.

it should only boot into cwm if you have the power cable connected, when powering down
Yep unplug the cable if you want it off, it will charge fine turned on so i dont see any real need to turn it off with cable plugged in
All works fine by me! Even my sound is okay
when i posted i was in my car with nothing plugged into it and still reboots into clockwork even though i click shut down (and it verifies shutting down)
still need help
Im using nightly build #4. which one are you running?

[Q] Franco kernel and forcing fast charging...

Running Winnner00 CM9 + Franco kernel (tried nightly 160 and stable M3)
Using Franco's app I am unable to enable force fast charging. The checkbox in Settings seems to be ignored. Tried both nightly and stable kernels, reboots, etc. It does work from command line, so I think the issue is in the app itself. Am I missing something here?
Any suggestions?
Does CM9 have the option built in? I know AOKP does. I leave them both fc options enabled (rom & kernel) because I charge my phone in the car waaay more often then I plug it up to the comp. If CM9 has an option for it enable it there.

did you unplug before turning it on? you cant be plugged in while enabling fast charge.
Also, try updating your superuser (even if it says it is up to date). Just a thought as I've read this can cause issues.
Afaik, CM doesnt support fastcharge.

Yeah, basically it is a combination of a few things - one is that even though it says it is enabled at boot time, it is not. You have to turn it off and back on. The second is what you mentioned, you have to unplug it and plug it back in if you turned it on while plugged in.
I ended up using a plug-in for Tasker to manage it, though it is wierdly hard to GET the current state (how hard is it to read a file, apparently hard) from Tasker, though setting state works.

Yeah, that guy's a ghost, you'll never get a response from him.
You can check out Secure Settings plugin (sorry, can't post links yet, but search it) - it is great for a LOT of things including this (its under Custom ROM options)

"THANK YOU" (For ur thanks meter)
But, on a serious note, i got the solution for the problem already..
For others out there seeking the solution to the problem, the trick is to unplug and then again plugin the USB cable after you enable the fast charge..
And then in battery stats it should show charging(AC) instead of charging(USB)

Sorry, I missed that this was the issue you were trying to solve. Yeah, when you switch the charging mode, it only takes effect after you next plug in. It will not change your current connection - which can be especially tricky if you reboot while plugged in.
I wanted it to be on by default since I hardly ever use USB for data. I would love to have the ability to have it come up enabled and to disable it, but that does not seem to be how it works - which, I guess, makes sense as you would loose any ability to debug in case of emergency, as in fast charge mode all data communication over USB is off.

If you keep the fast charge option enabled, it would always be on by default, (the way YOU need it), and when ever u want to use the USB, turn it off..
There are plenty of apps on google play which support simple toggle between fast charge on/off.. many of them have widgets too.. which makes it more than easy, just a tap away..

Not entirely true - first of all for this to stay on you have to have Franco's app (or another app that turns it on at boot time) to auto-turn it on on boot - it does NOT keep state across reboots. At the time of the original posting in this thread, the Franco's app did NOT work for this, so you had to manually go into it and turn it off and back on again before it worked - so I automated this via Tasker. Just tested, seems like it is working now (although it takes a while after boot before the setting is applied, Tasker/Secure Settings route is MUCH faster). Secondly, if you boot up with the USB cable in, it will ALWAYS boot into USB mode because of what I said before. (Unplugging it and plugging back in once it is fully booted and fast charge is on, will turn then register it as AC).
But yes, there are a number of other routes and apps to do this.

I said that because mine stays on across reboots..
If your option turns off, Tasker is no doubt the next option..
And regarding booting with USB cable plugged in, i already mentioned in a previous post that you will have to unplug and plug in the USB cable again to enter into fast charge mode with stats as Charging(AC)

[Q] Auto start when connect to charger

Hi,
Ive googled about this matter and cant seem to find a solution for the galaxy tab s lte but for other samsung devices since s3 is possible.
Ive also tried the Auto Power On app (paid apps) both of them didnt work and requested a refund.
It seems that we have to modify the file /system/bin/playlpm or /system/bin/lpm or /system/bin/ipod for this to work.
Ive tried everything and still doesnt work on the galaxy tab s lte.
What i need is for the tablet to boot upon connected to charger when the state is off. Now all i can see is the battery icon stating its charging but never boot into android.
Anyone have any idea how to make this work for the galaxy tab s lte?
Cheers.
Well it begs the question as to why in the world would anyone want this?
I wouldn't want my tab on every time I charge it.
I think you would need a custom rom, don't the apps you can download/buy, need your device to be already running so they can shutdown or run an app or change a mode when they detect you plugging in or removing the charger.

Why would anyone need this? Let me answer you.
Some of us use our android tablets in cars ... There's app to make the tablet shutdown when u turn off the engine and the power is disconnected (tons of them).
But when u start the engine back and the power is re-connected, the tablet wont turn on. Right now the only solution i can do is to use tasker to airplane mode on the device when the display is off, and airplane mode off when the display turns back on. This saves power so that the tablet doesnt run out of juice overnight in the car.
So most of this has to do with in-car tablet systems that you want it to boot up as you start your engine. I can custom rom my tablet to run CM12 however even CM12 doesnt boot up, some settings needs to be changed and im not sure which part so i need some help on this.
Cheers.

C'mon. You and I both know that this is a niche scenario, and normally it's a bad idea. If your running low enough on battery to run you device dead, you want it to charge a while before turning on. We've all been waiting on a dead phone to get a few percentage points charged so that way it doesn't die immediately upon startup.
I've been leaving my Tab S on a constant power supply in the car. This means I have to turn it on and off manually. I have been toying with using Tasker to turn the screen on/off based on connection with a BT device that would be powered by an switched power source.
The problem I get is warning messages about trying to charge the battery while it is too hot or too cold.

Why dont u try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.as.powerchecker it will close the android once ur power is disconnected from the car ...
As for turning it back on when u start. Still no solution ...
Any help guys? Last time asking ...
Using Tasker and Secure Settings, I can get the tablet to turn the screen on and off when the power is connected. If rooted, you could turn Airplane Mode on and off in Tasker also. But short of a change in the firmware, I have no idea how to power off and restart based on external power connection.
From what I remember, when CM12 was still buggy... when you connect a charger when it was powered off, it would show the battery icon and automatically reboot into recovery. Of course that was a bug, so I don't really know.
-DUHA
Same here, did you find an answer?
Same here but no solution found
Iam trying to set my tablet to auto start/boot when charger is connected in mini usb port. I didnot find lpm.sh in root\system\bin folder to modify. But i found ilm file with below script. Plz tell how to modify to make powered off tablet to boot when charger is connected.
Script to start "pm" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/ime.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.ime.Ime "[email protected]"
You can instruct init to reboot the device whenever charger mode is detected. Create a new .rc file or edit any existing one:
# /system/etc/init/off_mode_charge.rc
on charger
setprop sys.powerctl reboot,leaving-off-mode-charging

Screen won't turn off, when connected to power...

Just got my H7x Saturday and am blowin away that a phone this nice can be had for under $200usd.
Anyways, Whenever I have the phone connected to the power-cord(charging) the screen won't turn off. I'll wait for the 60sec I have it set to, fade, the screen turns off, and then right back on immediately. Does the same when connected to USB on a windows computer. Charging only, file transfer etc. does it no matter the mode.
Any input with help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

This setting is normally defaulted to off, but check the development option "stay awake"
No, it's set to off. But good call.
It seems like the screen saver would make it do this too. I just noticed that everytime the screen comes on, it's a different picture. However, settings>display>screen saver is off.
Just figured it out.
Under settings>Apps and notif...>notification and status bar> I had 'notifications turn on screen' turned on. That's what was causing it. Strange...
Can anyone else test for this?

I guess I could root and rom. I am just so impressed with the battery on the stock rom I was going to try and keep it as long as I can.
What ROM do you suggest?
And I didn't fix the issue. Just turned it off... Its still an issue for people who want thier screen to turn on when they get notifacations.
Thanks for the help!

Openkirin roms are good, but the support chat in telegram is a bit toxic...
Also, any hi6250 rom will work well, like with the p8 lite 2017; roms there work on the honor 7x too, i've tested.
