My Galaxy Sii X rocks but one thing is driving me crazy!
I use my phone as my alarm clock so its on the night-stand and I charge it every night. I plug it in to charge, hit the screen button on the side to go into Sleep mode, turn off all sync with my emails and everything is good.
HOWEVER, once the phone hits 100% full charge the screen comes on, stays on and very annoying as it not only lights up the room and wakes me up but also I am scared that if left on it will burn the image onto the screen.
I am running with Telus as my provider. Samsung Galaxy Sii X model SGH-T989D
Android version: 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich Kernal: 3.0.8
I have checked my settings and not sure if I am overlooking something or what. Pls help!

My brother's lg optimus does the same thing. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly what it is but run a logcat -c before you go to bed with it plugged in. And then when you see the screen is on, run logcat -d and post results. That should tell us what's happening during the night.

OK - stupid ques but how do I do that? I am still somewhat of a rookie at this whole Android thing.
Just reach over and turn the screen back off... does it stay off after that?
I've also read that a battery pull has solved this for some. It could also be a specific app you have.. for example the screen lights up when charged but another app is stopping it from turning back off..
Also it could be the charger if its not the one for the phone.

I do but a little annoying when at 2am the room lights up like a SWAT team raid and I am half asleep! LMAO!
I never thought about the charger - could that be it? I am using the one currently for my HP Touchpad - never thought that a piece of hardware would have anything to do with it.

I would first try another charger. When I get home I can give ya a quick tutorial on how to do this. I'll make a script for you if you'd like. That way it will be easy.

I don't understand everyones answer...all s2s light up and tell you the battery is fully charged...it's not an app or bad charger...you should also get a little green battery in the status bar...on gb it would light up and make a loud beep...but for ics they took out the beep cause that was really irritating...darkside's custom rom took that feature out...but it is normal...the screen should go off in your desired time unless you have the screen to stay on when plugged

But that's just it - I have checked all settings and there is nothing to allow me to tell the phone to remain off when charging or when completely charged.

Try using it as a clock. Keeps it dark during the night, plus it's very useful. Just go to clock app, and long press.

I've had 2 replacement phones in my 1st month of having a Gnex.
Just then I had a random turn off. Normal or not?? No rooting, no unlocking fully stock 4.0.2. Wtf?? I just thought yay!, everything is going to OK then bang. Not cool. Might be normal but I doubt it...
Thanks guys.

This happened to me last night.
I wasn't using the phone, it was just on the table charging.
Not sure what's up.
Do we have faulty units?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I guess it depends on how often it is happening.
I've had my phone for two months now and I believe this is the second time it happened.
As long as it doesn't happen too often and not during a ROM flash, I can live with it.
Yeah, that's the problem though isn't it. Random. It could be when your flashing a rom, or in a phone call. That'd be ****.
I dunno, why do these things happen?
Don't Google test things? Its not real stable is it. There should never be any problems if its a full release.

Nah not at all. Its happened twice since in had it. Once when the battery was at like 6% on its first run down of the battery when I got it. Then on it's first charge. It was at about 80% and I was just swiping left and right and I think bringing the notification drawer down (which doesn't work sometimes, I have another thread on that) and it just turned off. I pressed the power button a few times and it finally turned on with a 10% ish battery drop. That's it though, not again yet. May of been a battery conditioning thing.

I have been frustrated by battery life with the ics leaks, getting maybe 6 hours on a charge.... I thought it was maybe bad batteries but...
Turning off LED notifications and vibration on keypress has me at 7 hours of normal usage and at 91% battery.
Holy crap you guys, can it be this simple? Is anyone else seeing this kind of improvement?
Btw, gb roms never drained like I was seeing, even with keypress vibration on....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 (FF09 Stock ICS)
I might try this but I do like haptic feedback. The LED I would question on being part of your gain in battery life though. It's power draw can't be much if even noticeable. For one they're not very bright (remember how bright Blackberry LED's were?) and also the flash timing is long but with a very short duration.
Just as a reference. My dad has this Pink Floyd CD with a red LED on the spine of the case. It's powered by 1 AA and that damn thing blinked every 2 or so seconds 24/7 for about 12(ish) years.
That vibe motor though... well I had a joke about women, BOBs, and batteries but I lost it. The words are there, you figure something out.
Someone else posted in another thread that it is not the led itself that drains battery but the fact that keeping it blinking prevents the phone from going into deep sleep. (I assume it is checking to see if there are active notifications.) That WOULD explain the difference...
I believe notification led blinking rely on a software timer thus keeps phone from going into deep sleep mode currently
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I usually did this on the leaks. Turn off all sound, all vibrations (haptic and notification) dim the screen to minimum and remove the led and you can last 24hours. You will miss every phone call. But who has time for phone calls? Anyway, battery life is fine on cm9 a5 even if I forget to charge at night.

I've been keeping up with this myself with great interest. Led notification is pretty valuable for me as i typically work in a noisy environment. Anyone want to comment on whether this can be "fixed" once source is released.

On stock:
SEttings|Display|Pulse Notification Light
LED is known to cause wakelocks on ICS roms
After leaving the house this morning, I was listening to some music. An hour after leaving I see that my notification led has illuminated red. Now I have no notifications and I've tried a battery pull. What I noticed is when removing the battery the light shuts off but as soon as the battery is replaced it lights back up without the need to power on the phone. The phone still works all fine and dandy however.
As for the light its a bright red and sometime dims to a very faint light but never shuts off.

Yes. CNA.
I reflashed to stock but the light stayed on even while I was flashing and after formatting.
If you're still seeing the red LED during and after a flash you're probably looking at a hardware issue. I'd give Samsung a call to see what they have to say. Even if it's not something they will take for warranty repair, they may be able to get you some relevant information.

Good to hear. Hopefully that will be the end of it. So you didn't notice any actual performance problems? I wonder if there might be a short circuit in the LED?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Did the issue return afterwards?
I have a similar issue, only when i turn the device off the red notification light disappears. And then, when i turn the device on it usually doesn't come back immediately.
But, im getting this red notification light on a daily basis and can't seem to find what it means. Like on your device, everything works fine with no performance issues whatsoever. Also, i'm running stock-rooted Jelly Bean 4.1.2, but the issue started before rooting the device and on 4.1.1. I don't get any notifications on the notification bar, i can't find any app that uses the LED with that color. I don't use any LED control app.
it's annoying, and theres no information at all about this issue.. I already E-mailed Samsung a couple of days ago and didn't get a response from them yet.
I've seen this happen a few times before, after the phone has been exposed to moisture. A good example is when you leave the phone in the bathroom during or after taking a shower...

Well, the phone might has been exposed to small amounts of moisture (it took me really long time trying to remember if it has). What can you suggest doing about it? Close it, take out the battery and put it in a bag of rise for a few days? :/ it's been two weeks since then..
If it is moisture, it will probably clear up on its own. The bag of rice trick may help, if you don't mind going without your phone for a few days...

My biggest concern is corrosion. If it builds up it can really mess the circuits up.
I'll try the bag of rise thing and update what's the result..
Thanks for your help!
Mine is the same... Except green.
When power is off... Stays green... Factory reset and still the same... Stock, rooted, unlocked
Any ideas?

Just covering the bases... Seems it doesnt mean water specifically but def something they didnt program as an indicator for water damage... Thats what i was curious about

Phone is working fine (currently has CM 10.1 on it). But that light will not go away. Even when I pull the battery (for 30 seconds) and reinsurt. The light comes on before I even turn the phone on (boot android up). It comes on as soon as I put the battery back it, even without powering up. It's my GF's phone so hard telling what she has done to it.
Flash a stock TouchWiz ROM and see it the issue persists.

Is there an app like blink or lightflow installed that is controlling the led? If bot you might try one of these apps. I prefer blink.
The simple fix may be a factory reset

Guys, it does it even when the phone is off. As soon as I put the battery back in, the light comes on. This is before a rom is even loaded. Before I even turn the phone on. The light comes on and stays on. So I doubt flashing other roms or checking apps will do much good? But to answer the question. No LED apps that control it are installed.
Weird that its on even before power up. It sounds like a hardware problem. Flash a different rom to be sure.

Yea, I only wish I could tell her that and she would leave me alone about it. I am afraid its going to burn out being on all the time. Plus I am sure it being on has a negative effect on battery.

I'm on 4.2.1 with the Paranoid Android Rom (version 3.0).
Today while writing to a friend in WhatsApp suddenly the screen went black.
Now I'm not able to turn it on anymore. It doesn't work with and without connected charger.
What are my options to try before sending it in?
Is my warranty void due to the fact that I've got PA installed and the device rooted?

Where you plug your charger there is a small tab take a tooth pick, small knife , or something like that I used a small flathead from my phone kit and push the tab up about in the middle towards the led light (front of phone) no more than middle ways and that will give your phone a charge you most likely had a false charge like I did and other people from what u have heard

Please pull the battery before starting to bend! Put it back in and see if you can get anything. Maybe try a key combo to boot, like volume up+down+power.
