[Q] Missing wireless charging notification - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Got myself my first Qi charger, and when i put my nexus 7 on that, it doesn't notify me when charging starts. (i can still see Charging message on lock screen when turning screen manually on)
Stock rom, rooted. Build number: JSS15J
I could always do this thing via tasker, but shouldn't android have something like that already?

I've got the Nexus 4 wireless charger, and I notice sometimes when I put the Nexus 7 on it, I get a little "gingle-gingle" noise, and sometimes I don't, but I see the battery icon get the lighting bolt that says it is charging every time.

Seems that it magically started to do that sound again.. odd, very odd... I hope it continues to work

[Q] Stopped charging: Unusual

Apologies for another not charging thread, i have tried searching for a similar issue but no luck.
I put my DHD to charge as usual last night at around 40%, the charge LED lit up and the battery icon was showing that i am charging.
When i woke this morning, the charge LED and battery icon were still showing that i should be charging yet the phone now only has 33% battery, so clearly hadnt charged. I checked current widget and when the LED and icon show charging i only seem to be getting anywhere between a reading of 40mA and 270mA. With an occasional 300-400mA reading.
I seem to be able to intermittently get the phone to charge and the batt icon to rise by a percent or two but then it seems to stop again. As i am in work at the moment i am having to charge via USB from my PC. Therefore i am currently unable to try another micro USB charger and see if it is indeed the charger or the phone.
Has anyone else had a similar issue, says it charging but it not??
Or anyone have any ideas of a solution??
If it matters i am currently using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB. Id rather not have to return it to HTC as i am unsure of how to return the phone to default easily so it could be repaired on warranty.
Thanks in advance,
James
Firstly, download CurrentWidget, set refresh to 15 seconds, and make sure you set it to display battery voltage. If it is showing around 4200mV, it is charged, and you have a problem with the battery gauge.
To double check, turn off your phone, and see if the light goes green at 100%.
Boot back up, just to see if a reset fixes it.
If not, reboot into recovery, and wipe battery stats (or do it properly, turn off, wait until light is green, wait another hour, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats).
Turn back on, and see if the problem is sorted.

[Q] Automatic wake up when connecting power or USB

I'm running Nova and CWM9 and whenever I connect the phone to USB or a charger the phone wakes up automatically forcing me to push the power button evey time I connect it to turn off the screen.
Anyone know if it's possible to disable this "feature"?
Thanks!
I believe stock does that too. That would be an interesting tweak if it's not already around! In terms of disabling, I'm not sure there is an option to do so.

Confirm stock does it as does Apex; presumably it's set somewhere basic in ICS
Its in developer options. Untick 'stay awake' (if I understand the question!)

And this is a problem why? Its just indicating to you that its plugged in properly and charging... the screen will time out and turn off a few seconds later.
Thanks for checking!
It is interesting that Google would assume everytime you plug the phone in (and unplug the phone) you would want it to wake up. Considering the short battery life these phones have, lots of charging would be commonplace and therefore lots of connecting/disconnecting without the intent to actually use the phone.
I could see giving people the option to have the phone do that - but for me the unplug wakeup is especially annoying because I have to turn it off everytime I go to put it in my pocket.

Well considering by stock there's no charging LED indicator, turning the screen on momentarily to indicate a charging state is a smart idea.
Also, if you're plugging it in, why are you worried about the battery drained by keeping the screen on for 10 seconds? 10 seconds.

Well that's that I thought too, but sometimes it doesn't go back to sleep like it should and I'll notice my pocket getting quite warm pull it out and it's still on.
It could be a bug in the ROM I'm running (not going to sleep correctly all the time) but I don't remember my DINC doing that so I figured it was something that just needed to be disabled.

Hmm, I did have this option enabled - mainly because when I connect it to the charger I do like it to stay on -prime example using Slacker Radio in my car when plugged into the dock.
Maybe I'll try a different ROM since it seems the problem isn't so much that I need to disable to wakeup on connect/disconnect but instead I need the sleep function to be more reliable so I don't have a mini oven on my pocket.
Thanks!
A great option for your car dock needs would be to introduce something like the app Tasker. Then you could leave the screen off but have tasker set it to constant on and load slacker when the Bluetooth connection to your car happens.

[Q] Weird issue fixed? Gnex turned off after plugging out of charger

Hi,
I know some people already went through this and i'd like to hear from them how they solved it and what are your thoughts about this issue. (I'm not sure if i solved it yet...)
It was all ok yesterday night. Received calls, sent messages through Whatsapp, Facebook, read articles on Flipboard, and set up the clock alarm and left it on the screen (in that dark mode with blue numbers - my phone is set to never sleep when charging).
And no, the phone didn't drop/suffered a hard impact or anything liquid came near the phone.
Plugged my phone to charge on the wall, the charging bolt icon appeared on the battery icon and i went to sleep. (The battery was at 34%)
I woke up this morning, battery was 100% charged as expected, so i unplugged it. Just after that, the phone went off and i couldn't turn it on.
I plugged it back on the wall and the charging battery icon appeared. It was showing an empty battery charging all over again. I tried to power it on. Google screen showed up, followed by the loading X from JB, then turned off.
I unplugged again and left my phone quiet for a while and then i tried to turn it on again. Turned it on all the way until the lock screen, but the battery icon was empty (with a "!") and then the phone went off again.
I've tried to follow some workarounds i've found on Google but none of them worked for me.
-Hard reset, trying to remove battery, sim card
-Cleaning the golden contacts on the battery compartment/battery/sim card with dry soft cloth.
-Trying to plug it on pc without the battery (couldn't recognize the phone - weird, because i've connected it many times and it was ok with it's drivers properly installed - no beep after 5 seconds)
-Power it on after plugging it on the wall
What i've just tried and seem to work (i hope so)
-I took the battery and sim card off the phone for a while. Put it all back after some minutes and turned it on. After the JB loading screen appeared, i waited a while and then plugged the cable on phone/wall.
Looks like the phone is working now, all my settings, pictures, data, music still there and the battery is charging all over again, from 5% (!?!?!?) but i'm not sure if it's really charging. I don't know if the phone will turn itself off again if i unplug from the charger.... Anyone has any ideas?
Could it be any software issue? (I've installed "Battery Widget? Reborn" from Play some days ago. It's a really beautiful widget for battery info but i don't think it's the problem because i've charged the phone a few times since then and it was all working good)
And i don't mess around too much with the phone. Just rooted to change from yakjuvs to yakju and update from ICS 4.0.2 to ICS 4.0.4 and then to takju/JB 4.1.1.
(My GSM Nexus is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 - JRO03C, XXLF1, all stock and rooted. And yes, standard battery that comes with it)
Thanks!

GSM Nexus Doesnt stop charging?

I was wondering if its normal or if its good or bad because normally on other androids i had the charging symbol would stop and just show a charge plug to verify it has stopped charging but on the nexus it just seems to show the charging symbol even when its fully charged. And im stock 4.1.1 and rooted. Thanks

Every device that I've ever owned (including iPhones) show it's still charging in the status bar even when it's done. Most usually have an LED that turns blue or green when it's finished, but they all still show charging in the status bar

[Q] Can't boot up SmartWatch 3

Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?
Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD
I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.
Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.
I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe
