Hi,
My desire keeps playing this woman's voice when it's on the charger but the battery is fully charged, saying 'please notice your phone's battery is fully charged'. Can't find a way to turn this off, and it keeps waking me up in the middle of the night. Is there a way to get rid of it, short of turning the phone off? Because I do need it for the alarm.
Help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Solved it myself, turns out it was caused by a battery manager app I was running. Thank God I've got to the bottom of it anyway, was getting incredibly annoying.
Do you have a battery app or anything, look it up in there because the desire doesn't do that from itself
Yep, just figured it out. Feel a bit stupid now! Oh well, least it's sorted.
Can you tell me which App is doing this? I have a few apps which claim to do a variety of "battery management" (not sure of the efficacy), and I'm not sure which one is providing this most-annoying of 'features' . . .
Thanks in advance!

Another way to avoid trouble is by apk "Timeriffic" it´s on market and it´s free also, and you can program to mute the speaker, can turn on and off wifi, bluetooth, and much more .....
This option also can be interesting.
well, what was the answer?
I also have this problem and would like a solution.
keeping in mind that you yourself described the problem as 'incredibly annoying'.... you should have said which app it is.
now, after searching for the answer, coming across this thread, and seeing your 'non-answer', having to sign up for this site, fill out a registration form, and respond to you, and still having to go through the same work you did, i am quadruply annoyed AND STILL LACK THE SOLUTION.
so if someone finds out which app it is, please notice, your solution to the problem was incomplete and added to my frustration.
doesn't appear to be an answer elsewhere on the net.
so, I am beyond incredibly annoyed. I hate that ladies voice and it's disturbing my sleep as well.
For anyone still struggling with this, the app which causes this annoying voice is called "Battery Booster". They added this "feature" in a recent version of the app and it doesn't seem like there is a setting to turn it off (there are a lot of complaints on the market reviews for the app about this) so the only solution would be to uninstall the app.

Hello all,
My phone is not working properly. I've had some bugs most people seem to be having, but now I have something which is quite annoying. I can't find it on these forums or anywhere on the internet.
I have seen a 1 line reference to my problem here:
/showthread.php?t=666332&highlight=standby
Flaws & annoyances with the HTC Desire (with workarounds!) [updated Apr 23, 2010
Hardware defects. Eg. Dust under screen, device not going into standby properly. Most of us don't experience these. Contact your retailer to exchange the unit or HTC to claim warranty.
So, I seem to have this problem. The phone wakes up with whatever button I press, and I don't have to unlock the phone. I have a unlock pattern set. It also doesn't ask me for this.
I couldn't find a proper topic about this problem, but I assume I'm not the only one. Is there a fix, or is it a hardware problem?
It wouldn't make sense to me if it's a hardware problem since the screen does turn off when I press the 'power' button.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bart.
Which Lock?
are you using the built in lock or a third party lock app? I had the same problem when I used LockBot. If it's the standard lock, have you tried Powering the phone off then back on?
I am just using the built in application. I haven't used any other lock app.
I have tried turning the phone off twice, and both times it came back (might have been after charging it, but I don't know at all if that's the reason).
edit: I'm gonna try to recreate the problem with restarting and trying to find out when it stops working properly.
edit2: I restarted now... and it hadn't saved the new background I set... strange... :/
edit3: Ok, it still locks itself... I guess I'll just need to wait and see when it doesn't work anymore... maybe it's just a matter of time for it to stop working...
The problem that you quote in your opening post is probably the problem concerning the Desire (or rather an application running on the Desire) not properly releasing a wake lock which causes severe battery drain, e.g. the calendar app about which another thread exists.
Your problem seems to be quite strange. You do not happen to have an application called 'No lock' installed, right?
No, I don't have 'No lock' installed.
I use 2 calander widgets though... (the little one on my home screen, and an more advanced one on another screen.)
I've got quite some applications installed though... I'll just type them here, maybe someone can see something wrong...

I'm just trying some of the stuff of course... It's quite a long list...
Maybe Kaloer Clock brakes something?
I'll use it tonight again, going to sleep soon... Maybe it'll be broken again tomorow.
Lets hope it wont brake again... but that's probably too optimistic.
First off: sorry for the double post, but I have some new information which will also mean the end of this topic.
This morning it didn't work anymore, and the only application that did it's thing this night was the kaloer clock (night clock).
I looked at the settings, and there are some settings about screen lock.
It's not clear at all, but I changed some settings, and it locks again.
So, I guess it was just me using an app which I didn't fully understand. I'm glad you guys helped me though. And I'm definitely glad that my problem is solved!
Problem: While I am driving if someone sends me a text. my SGS2 will automatically respond to that message with the text "I am driving now."
I have no way of stopping it before it goes out. I do not have any apps that I have installed that are supposed to do this. I've gone through every setting I can think of. And yes I have searched xda before posting this, but no luck.
Currently running CM10. Please help! If there is no way to actually stop this from going out, I would at least like to change the message to something indicating it's an auto response.
Oh and this is not one of my SMS templates. I've erased all of them. Never had much use for those.
The culprit here is most likely your stereo. I'm guessing your phone is connected to your (likely Kenwood) stereo via Bluetooth, while this is happening. This is due to BT-SMS (SMS over Bluetooth) implementation, and can be disabled from one of your stereo's menus.
See this thread for another example of this, in which case a bad BT-SMS implementation was doing even worse, by sending that text not only to those who were trying to call/text you, but also to other contacts heh.

Hope it helps.
Driving mode?

Is your "Driving Mode" turned on? I was getting a similar experience once (don't remember the ROM I was on then), and then I realised I had the "Driving Mode" turned on. Hope this helps!
Hello everyone,
first of all thank you for having such a huge side, all the informations. it's amazing.
So, my english isnt the best, but i try to discribe my problem as good as possible and i would really appreciate if you could help me solving this challenge
I installed CM11. I followed all your steps. And everything works.
But know after using the phone some days and also after answering some phone calls, my opponents say that i sound like i am in a hall after telephoning some minutes. not all the time.. When i change to loud-mode it change and everything is fine again. after 5 minutes of talking in loud mode i can turn loud mode off... and everything is fine also in the other system. I don't have any idea. i also searched here and also in the internet. but because of my lag of language, maybe i search with the wrong words. Sorry for this. Could it be, that i had some troubleshooting during the installation? Update: I found out, that this happened, when i change the position of the phone during the call (from left ear to the right ear. I know, it sounds wired)
And one more question. My phone runs out of battery verys fast. i only installed a view apps. nothing special. do i need to install superSU like in one of your threads to deactivate autostart or do i have option in cm11?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/root-fire-phone-supersu-t3105546 ( is this for fireOS or for CM11?)
I found something called "privacy guard". But i dont find it to download(appstore) and also not in the phone itself.
I would really appreciate an answer of my questions. Thanks in advance.

The battery issue has been occurring for about a month now, it seems to be a gapps issue. Turning off apps that use GPS seems to be the fix in most cases. Go into your Apps and make sure you force quit them when they're not in use (or just turn off location services). The biggest offenders for me were Device Manager and Swarm.
I get a "Sleep Record" notification every morning (ever since I got this device a couple weeks ago), which is really stupid because I leave the watch on the charger all night, every night.
<rant>
Really Samsung? Your software tells me about how good my sleep was while the device was charging on the nightstand? Yeah, I didn't move all night! I slept like a rock! ..... Is it that hard to code an app to be able to tell that when the watch is on the charger it is NOT in the person? Or how about coding the app so that the user can disable all sleep recording functions and the related notifications? I've searched this problem, and it's been an issue for quite a while, but Samsung support people tell users to factory reset their device, multiple times! (yeah, that really makes things better, for most of us who spend a while setting this up to our liking) Why don't they instead admit that their developers did something dumb and then they can work toward a fix? (sorry, but as a software developer, I see this kind of denial all the time)
</rant>
So now I hope this is something in the past, and maybe someone in the know can tell me it was finally fixed.
In Samsung Health app's "Settings", I have notifications disabled for the entire app.
In Samsung Health app's "Manage Items" I have "Sleep" disabled.
What more is needed?
Any XDAers figure this one out?
Lately I've never remembered to post and ask, surely will be a lot easier than endlessly thumbing through the phone to try and find the right settings. Hoping someone here may have been through this recently and has it fresh on their mind.
With my alarm set, it does activate audibly the way it should while Do Not Disturb is active. However, the screen remains on the dimmed Always On screen. I guess technically speaking, the alarm does not come on top when in Do Not Disturb mode.
I have starred contacts which are allowed to ring through my Do Not Disturb, one of which is my work. When I take a phone call, I can see who is calling me, but have to unlock the phone and sometimes bring the phone app up before I can answer. The actual answer button is not shown on the display.
I guess the most critical is needing help with #2. It might sound petty, but when you are in deep sleep and work calls you at 3am and you miss their call........its rather frustrating on both ends. If I didn't have self-control I would have snapped a few phones in half already.
FWIW, this was prevalent on my S20 Ultra as well (G988U), and my current device is the S20 Ultra (S908U).
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!
not sure if this will work, but try adding "clock" or whichever alarm app you are using as the Exceptions to the DND.
As for the contacts, try to reproduce it by purposefully starting the DND and have someone call you... if the issue is reproduced, then report it to samsung members app > get help > error report asap so that samsung engineers can look into why you are not getting the notification for that caller.
So I've tried everything suggested so far. I even just recently wiped my phone, and paid close attention to this detail with DND. Eveb freshly wiped, it is still not working as it should (or I should say, as I want it to).
Bumping again in hopes someone else might see it now and know where I need to go. Thanks in advance!
Currently using One UI Beta 5 on my S22.
I have issues with Modes & Routines, specifically the driving mode.
Even after turning the "driving mode" off / deleting it, while in transit the mode pops back and enables on its own.
