Hi all.
Right now i look into phone status to see the battery-percent if its 100% or not. But most time i'm charging the phone when its turned off. and then you really cant exactly tell when its charged. yes, you can see the battery-icon when you press the home button. but is it really fully charged when the animation is full?
somewhere i read that its charged when the led turns green. but its already green when the battery-icon is only 3quarters full.
I miss some kind of notification that tells me when the battery is fully charged.

It's 'fully' charged when the status (Settings -> About Phone -> Status) says 100%, the status bar image shows a full battery for less then 100% (between 100 and 80? I think)
There's an article here on the subject: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2011/nov/16/android-battery-icon-information
You can install themes that will display the number in the battery image or you can get 1% incremental battery themes, which will be more accurate
ok but this is just for turned on.
but what about when its turned off? because as i said thats the way i mostly charge it.
Dont think you can do anything when the phone is off think your just gona have to charge it when its on... You can see a percentage on the lockscreen while charging the phone when is on
Hey guys, what's your Light Flow flash rate at? I currently have everything on "Fast" but I want something that is somewhat slower, gets to the brightest point of the LED and stays there for like a second or two and then starts fading again. When I try "slow" or anything it merges the LED's for different notifications together.
On charge I use "fast" - on battery I use "latest."
You need to select 'custom LED flash rate' and then input your own numbers. Mine is set to 230,1070. The first number is how long the light stays on, the second is how long it's off. Keep testing numbers till you get the effect you want.
[Q] How to turn off the "Battery full, unplug charger to save energy" notification?
Like many people I leave my phone on the charger overnight. With my G3, once it charges to 100% I get a notification in the middle of the night (complete with noise and vibration to wake me up) telling me that the battery is full. I then get repeated notifications every few minutes as the phone partially discharges and recharges to 100%.
If I am actually actively using the phone while it is plugged in, it is even worse - every few seconds the notification comes.
Surely there must be an option to turn this off? Every "solution" I have searched for is not really a solution at all. People say to put the phone on silent or on quiet mode (I need to be able to receive calls and texts overnight). Other people say to switch notification sounds off (but that would turn off sounds for all notifications, not just the battery full ones). A few say we need to install Xposed and a special module (xposed killed the battery on my Z1 compact so I'd rather avoid installing it if possible).
Is there no simple way to turn off this notification?
May be a dumb question, but any concerned with screen burn-in from charging? Under normal use the screen isn't lit up long enough, but while charging the screen stays lit (dimmed, yes but still lit) and with a static blue ring around the edge. Just seems odd that some kind of daydream mode isn't employed.

The screen is LCD not OLED so burn in isn't an issue.
I had it on the charger for about 2 hours last night and can clearly see the ring and the "moto" and "100%" text, especially on the gray background of the settings menu.

That's my concern. I thought that LCD wasn't impervious just because it wasn't OLED and it is still susceptible to damage.
You can turn the screen off while charging if you just press the button (which is on top while charging).

Strange when I charged yesterday the screen did turn off. It is charging now and the button on top just dims.

I honestly can't figure this thing out, lol
It would appear that the last update keeps the screen on (although dim) while charging. Another change is that putting a turned off watch in the charger turns it on.
Well that solves my question. First charge was off, 2nd and current 3rd charge is staying dim. Thanks!
If you want it off when you charge, go into "Settings-->About" and tap on build number, repeatedly until it displays "You are now a developer". Then go back to "Settings-->Developer Options" and the first option is "Stay awake when charging". You can touch it to toggle between enabled and disabled.

just a heads up (for me anyway) - I wanted to have it ON when charging, so i did the dev mode option. Then i wanted to turn it off, and it seems disabling the option in dev options wont turn it off lol
early release wonkiness i assume

Thanks! Weird. I wonder if it needs a reboot to take affect?

Once we get root we'll be able to change this option in the build.prop file:
Code:
ro.ambient.force_when_docked=true
To turn off the screen while charging:
1. Open the Android Wear app
2. Turn on "Always On" (if it's not already)
3. Wait for the screen on the watch to dim
4. Uncheck "Always On" in the Android App
The screen will turn off until it's taken off the charger, screen is tapped, or button is pushed.

This worked for the LG G Watch as well. But you have to substitute "always on" with "ambient screen" with the update to 4.4w1.

Whoops. Forgot about the verbage difference in the Moto360.
Found this on reddit, looks like it answers my question. Curious to see if they had the screen left fully lit while charging.

Tasker task I create to toggle the screen off automatically.
I've had it since Monday. Charging every night (~8 hours). Developer mode on, but no settings changed. No burn in. I think it's a defect.
Also the phone gets hot during charge. Got it today, is the flashing red light normal during charge?
Yeah mine blinks red too.. Im pretty sure thats normal when its charging. Itll turn a solid green when its done. My G4 gets hot while charging only if the screen is on or if i have alot of background apps open while charging.
It's at 100% and now the green light is flashing. This is normal???
you can turn it off in settings
OK, but is this normal?
Please just want to make sure the unit is not defective.
Normal, mine fades in and out.
Also, if I receive a text/email/other notification, then the LED will switch over to a different color/pattern to alert me of the notification, as intended. This will happen instead of the orange pulsing LED "charge" mode. So if you glance at your phone while plugged in and charging, but it's not displaying the pulsing orange LED charge mode, that could be OK too so long as you have a notification.
If you clear the notification, the phone will go back to pulsing orange charge LED. I think this is a dumb design feature, because if you happen to glance at your phone the LED could be dark/blank because it's in-between notification pulses after you got a text or whatever. So you can't tell at that moment whether the phone is unplugged and not charging, or just between blue pulses of the notification LED, and you'd have to wake up the phone to check.
Instead they should keep the orange LED on any time the phone is charging, even if you get a notification, and then they could momentarily pulse the LED from orange to blue for the notification. Dumb to switch it to off/blue even while charging.

I agree, I think it's strage to make the charging light look like a notification is waiting to be checked,
I thought my battery was faulty because a few times when I unplugged and then re-plugged, the light would stay red, then start flashing after about 10 seconds. and sometimes it didn't even do that, it just started flashing. And this morning when It was charged to 100%, it was green but still flashing, not a solid light like you'd expect.
I would have thought more people would be confused by this, considered every phone ever has a solid charge light, not flashing.
So everybody that owns a G4, when their phone is on the charger the red light blinks?
Mine is.

I received my ne LG G4 phone today and am charging it. Instructions say it takes 12 hours to fully charge, but I have a green light after about an hour. What does this mean?

Green means fully charged.

I think it's the same for all.
I have a H815 and I have a similar issue. When I plug it in at 0% red LED blinks for 10 seconds without charging. Then it turns back to normal animation and charges. Maybe the battery got old?
