[Q] Remove battery full notification

Hi Guys, I am trying to remove the notification for battery full. I charge overnight and when the battery is full it vibrates like an id.ot, waking me up most of the times!
There was a thread but now it`s obsolete... Come on, can it be that there`s no easy fix for this? I even googled, but pointlessly!
Thanks
It's not ideal but I just set the notifications ringtone to silent in the main settings menu and then set proper notifications separately in messaging, gmail, etc.

I would like to know too... That wake me every time. I dont want to put on silent since I want SMS and cakk to wake me.
Thanks all but I wish there was a better solution. Can it be that there`s no hidden flag in the system configuration?
My current solution is to put the phone on a soft thing so it doesn`t wake me up...
Settings > Sounds > Notification sound
Set it to Nothing

Oh, and I can set SMS Notification to something else than "Default" (since Default is now "Silence")... pretty nice!
Thanks for the idea HaTeNL!

If you don't want it to vibrate in silent mode then just change your vibration settings to not vibrate in silent mode......

Any luck with solving this?

Solved:
One just need to additionally deactivate the vibration, either from the settings menu, set it to never vibrate or only when not in silent mode, or with an extra widget like one of the many available in the market.
Enjoy!

i downloaded the app timeriffic from the market and that made two profiles.
one, from 22.00 to 06.00 with no vibration and message sound disabled and the other one from 06.00 to 22.00 with vibration and message sound enabled.
works fine.
That's fine when the phone is on but when's off it stills vibrates.
I scheduled the phone to shutdown every night at 23.00h. Sometimes, I charge at home during the night. Even if the phone is downstairs, I can still hear the notification vibration repeating itself over and over again.
The solution is to put the phone on a non-vibrating surface (usually the same USB cable used for charging the phone)
I used "droidessentials" .. uncheck the "Alert When battery full".
The Apps state it won't work with Samsung devices.
Tonight I will try..

It has to work! The first option in the notification sound thing is "Silent" (translated).
Put it off Silent Mode and then change the notification sound. Must work.
Hey guys, wasn't here on these forums a thread of someone that did an app or mod just to remove the battery full sound??
I have read that once there was it!!!

Silent mode vs. Vibrate

How do I get a silent mode instead of just a vibrate or loud?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Hold the volume key down till it says silent, or hold the power key, and on the pop up menu, select silent mode.

Vol key only goes to vibrate and silent mode turns it to vibrate too
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
In the sound settings you have to tell it to vibrate "Only when not in silent mode". That should fix ya right up
I feel stupid for not having checked that first, ok not that big if a newb. Im an idiot

If I do that how do I go into vibrate only mode?

Try using a widget like Silent Toggle Widget or Widgetsoid to control Sound/Vibrate Only/Silent.

If you turn that on, then when you press the volume key it goes Silent, Vibrate only, ringer,etc

2.1 Eclair had both Silent & Vibrate available from the volume buttons, while 2.2 has removed the silent option. As noted above there are widgets to workaround this but it was a "feature" google changed in froyo from my understanding.
I figued it must have been something of the sort
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yes, this is very annoying but I am going to try out that widget, thanks Isira
guys, if you're running Froyo, you do NOT need to use a widget
go to Settings > Sound > Vibrate > and select "Only when not in silent mode"
*if you select "Never", your Epic won't vibrate... AT ALL*
that will allow you to have a completely silent ringer with NO vibration

Little late on that bud, check my post (#4). Your enthusiasm is refreshing.
This is super, super annoying. I want my Silent -> Vibrate Only -> Ring settings back using the volume keys, without having to resort to a widget. To rub it in my face, there's a "Silent Mode" from the notification slide down, but it only duplicates the functionality of sliding the volume the way down. How useful.
I used Silent Mode for when I was in class or a meeting and didn't even want it to vibrate. Vibrate for when I was somewhere noisy.
I thought it was annoying enough to have to check and uncheck "vibrate" for texts, cause they would vibrate even when then ringer was on.
I also wish silent mode would kill media. I've had a webpage start going off when I was browsing in class. Very embarrassing. :\
Is there an app or widget that hooks into the volume keys?

Me too. There are times I want it to vibrate (in a bar where I wouldn't hear the phone ring, in a theater when I'm on call, etc.), and there are times when I really want SILENT (my better half is a light sleeper, and just the vibration upon a text is enough to wake him).

Flash the mod in the dev section to restore that function. Works great on my mostly stock epic rooted with clockwork.

These will work fine on (mostly) stock ROMs, but may cause issues with custom ROMs which have their own framework modifications.
Not sure which of the custom ROMs currently include the patch, but feel free to request your favorite ROM to include it.
using winmerge was the easiest way i found to add it to a custom rom, without fear of messing anything up..

Separate Settings for Vibrate Mode & Silent Mode

I want my phone to vibrate for notifications & messages when in Vibrate Mode, but not when in Silent Mode. I had this on my prior phone (MyTouch 3G) but it doesn't seem to be available on the SGS2.
The phone options don't even list a Vibrate Mode and just lump it in as Silent Mode. So I either have to let it vibrate when in Silent Mode (which would wake me up at night) or else not have it vibrate when in Vibrate Mode (so I won't know about messages when it's in my pocket).
Anyone know if this can be fixed with the stock options, and if not is there an app or ROM/Kernel that takes care of it?
Thanks.
Menu, settings, sound, vibration: has 4 settings of always, never, only in silent mode, only when not in silent mode.

There's this awesome app called audio manager. Works really well and let's you make different profiles, kind of like the blackberries have. It has options for vibration also.

I know, that's the problem. Vibrate is considered "silent mode," so there's no distinguishing between the two. If you choose "only when not in silent mode," then notifications/messages don't vibrate in vibrate mode.

Need Help phone won't vibrate

Hey folks Ive tried everything with this phone but just can't get it to vibrate and I really can't recall it ever vibrating. I've seen in other forums that others are having the same problems but there didn't seem to be a solid fix. The phone will not vibrate during calls or notifications of any kind when I have it set to always vibrate or vibrate during silence mode. I've gone to all of my messaging applications as well to select the vibrate function and it still doesn't work. Need help if possible.
Thanks,
go to sound settings and check vibration intensity...might be off??

Doesn't work, I have the intesity all the way actually. Also when I move the sensitivity levels the phone doesn't give any feedback. I think the vibrate engine may be blown.

Mute Sounds without Vibration?

Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.

Lower the volume all the way down then push down again further and the phone will go into a full silent mode except alarms.

Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode

Yeah I agree. I use the DND toggle all the time right before I go into work. You don't even have to leave the lockscreen.

When DND is on do notifications still show on the screen? I'm asking because I've never used it, just always muted my phone.

They can if you turn off the option which blocks it. Look at the settings under "Block visual disturbances".

I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.

That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.
