Got my S6 (Verizon) on Friday. Pretty happy with the overall improvements. Main sad points are no better battery life and what seems to be a weaker bluetooth radio.
Overnight I charge my phone on a night table beside my bed. For 3 nights I slept well just like I have with my previous S3 and S5 phones.
I got my sexy new wireless charger yesterday and decided to use that on the night table to charge my phone, but was awoken by a nice "beep" when the phone was fully charged. If not bad enough, the charge seemed to cycle off and back on at some point in time (think it was less than a half hour), and it beeped again. This woke me up and is not going to work!
I can't find any option to disable in settings/battery or settings/sounds and notifications where I can turn off this beep on full charge. What I find odd is the different behavior of wired charging (no audible notification) and wireless charging (audible notification). I have confirmed that the beep is coming from the phone and not the charger by turning off the sound on the phone and letting it hit 100%.
Anyone know where this setting might be buried or know of some tweak or trick to disable this notification?
Thanks!
I have yet to fully change my s6 from at&t but make sure it is not the charging pad making the noise. Some pads have speakers to alert you of the phone charging and when it's finished. If that's the case I just opened mine up and cut the cords to the speaker. If not than I don't think k there's much you can do other than trying to change the settings using USB debugging and adb.
I have confirmed that the beep is coming from the phone and not the charger by turning off the sound on the phone and wireless charging to 100%. Under that condition, there is no beep.
Well I'm not quite sure what you could do to turn off the beep but I'm sure there's a way similar to the method to turn off the back button and menu button lights. The best idea I had was to have your phone go into silent mode at certain times to make sure it doesn't beep every x minutes throughout the night

Sadly, that's what I'm coming up with as well, which isn't what I want. I need to be able to be notified of work emergencies, college kid issues, etc. As flexible as android can be, it certainly is frustrating at the things you can't control without being rooted (and that doesn't appear to be an option today with Verizon Galaxy S6).
Oddly enough I have absolutely no sounds coming from my wireless charger or phone when it charges to full. The only sound I hear is the one that occurs when it starts charging or detects the wireless charger. Other than that, the phone charges in total silence, and the charger itself simply changes from blue to green once it hits 100%.
Mine as well. I use the Nokia wireless charger. Maybe the charger you are using is telling your phone to make the sound when the battery gets full.
Little update here on a partial solution.
I actually found an app "Battery Full Notification" that allowed me to turn off the audible beep when the battery is full during wireless charging.
...but due to the cycling off and on of charging after that point, I still get a beep when it begins to charge again. *sigh*.
I use trigger to automatically turn off notification sounds when I connect charger then have it turn notification sounds back on @ 7 am. You can do manually if you press volume up then the gear and turn notification down all the way.

I have built a Nexus 7 into my car and I have a small issue.
I need a tasker profile:
When I turn the car on, the screen turns on and music plays.
When i turn the car off, the music stops and the screen turns off. (along with other stuff)
I have created a "test" version of all this so when I connect a power cable (i.e when charging) it turns the screen on and plays music.
When I disconnect the USB (i.e. stops charging) the screen goes off, music stops, bluetooth off etc and all this works fine.
However, the USB will always be connected with power coming through so I cannot use this option. I need another way to detect if the car is on and when it turns off so I can run the correct tasks.
One option i thought of is buy a wireless charger and build it into the car. When my phone is placed on the charger, send a text message to the tablet to turn it on, and when i turn the car off the charging will stop, then the phone will send a text to the tablet to turn the screen off etc.
However after purchasing the wireless charger, i realised everytime i get a call or take my phone of the charger for whatever reason, the screen will go off and music will stop, so this isnt an option either.
So the question is, what can i do so tasker can detect that the car is on or off so the nexus can perform the tasks?
Hope that makes sense

You do realize that you really have two problems, right? The Nexus 7 will not know when the car is started, or stopped. Unless you can disconnect the power, manually etc.. If you can do that, you can send a command in fastboot to force the N7 to power up when power is connected, otherwise you'd have to boot it up manually.
You could unplug the USB charger.. Or have the tablet turn off after N hours of inactivity, although how do you detect "new" activity if there's no change when the car is started.
If your car has bluetooth, you could detect that as the "turn off" task perhaps, but turning on is probably your bigger issue.
Will the wireless charger idea work?

No idea what you mean by wireless charger (2012 model has no wireless charging), or how you'd control it with the phone. And unless your tablet is a 3g one, I don't know how you'd directly communicate with it either.
I just put my phone back to stock so I had to uninstall Tasker, however your tablet does not pull power once the car is off correct? I had a power based one as well, I remember testing it with a surge protector. I could leave the USB connected but flip the surge protector on and off (to mimic power to the phone being halted). To my knowledge when the car is off your USB shouldn't be drawing power therefore you could run the profile off that. Export the profile and post here. I'd like to help test it.

My last four cars (current and previous of wife and my cars) the lighter plug stays powered when the engine is off.
I think it's getting increasingly common for the plugs to stay powered. So there's no way for the tablet to know the car is off unless the car has bluetooth and you can look for that.

I have actually found the exact opposite to me true. My wife's 2014 Pilot goes off as well as my 2012 Veloster whereas my 2001 Sable and her 2007 Passat left them on. I'm not sure if you can resolve your issue then. I'll keep looking into it. You could trigger it based on speed I think

I suppose that could work.. Find out the speed for several periods in a row, if it's zero, assume it's time to shut down. But that'd mean it's playing music etc during that period etc.
IMO bluetooth, or a plug he can turn off, is really the only way if his USB is powered up all of the time.
Also remember, he has no way to know when to power UP either. I still maintain that's the bigger problem, especially if it's a fixed install and he can't poke the power button
At the moment, its connected so when the car turns on, the USB is powered up and when the car turns off, the power in the USB stops. So at the moment, my tasker profile works on "when charging" do Task A, when not charging do Task B. And it all works fine at the moment.
However I am having issues with charging, (The device is not charging fast enough when turned on and the battery drains over a couple of days) so i planned to keep it always charging, so the power in the USB will always be there regardless of if the car is on or off. So i cant use the "when charging" on tasker anymore. So i needed a new way to it to figure out when i got in the car.
Here are my ideas:
1. Have a wireless charger in my car for my phone. (Not the tablet). When i get in the car, i could put my phone on the charger, have the phone send a text to the tablet to turn it on. When i remove the phone from the charger, send a text to the tablet to turn it off. Simples
2. Connect a wifi router in the boot or something and have it start up only when the car starts, and turn off with the car. It doesn't have to be connected to the internet, it just needs to power up. Then i can do a 'When wifi near' on tasker to see if the car is off or on, and turn the screen off accordingly.
3. Connect the tablet to my phones bluetooth. Whenever i get in the car, they will connect and the tablet will power on. when i leave the car, it will power off. (Not the best option since it will stay on even if i am near the car)
4. Similar to option 1, but have a nfc sticker in the car. when i swipe my phone on it, it communicates with the tablet and turns it on, n then off when required. but i dont want to do this since i know i am going to forget to turn it off one day.
I don't really want to do the speed option, since i want it to turn on as soon as i enter the car, not when i start driving, and i want to be able to park up and use it when i need to put an addess in the sat nav etc.

If your charger isn't charging fast enough, you're using a crappy charger or one that isn't designed for Android. If your car has a built-in USB port, those are usually super slow, maybe 500mA, most less.
Anyway, glad to hear that your power follows the car state, that makes it all simple.

I've tried about 20 different chargers, up to 2.5amps. The problem isnt the charger. The problem is i dont drive the car long enough to give it time to charge. So if i drive the car for about half an hour a day, for the other 23.5 hours, its on standby. so the battery is always going to go less. So thats why I plan to connect the charger directly to the battery so it will always be charging.

Oh, I thought you had the tablet turning off when the car went off. If I were you, I'd set up a profile that turns off the tablet if it hasn't had power in a few hours, pretty simple to do. On Power, set a time var, every so often check that time var to see if it exceeds your threshold, and power down if so.
If you don't have much installed, it should be a fairly quick power-up, especially the plug goes hot when you start the car.
BTW I hope you're considering cold and heat if you're leaving the tablet in the car. Leaving it in the heat all summer will will the battery.
You can use Timur's kernel, it senses power to turn N7 on or deep sleep it.
Also charges N7 while using OTG.
It;s designed for car install.

I agree, you need to get at least a 2A charger for your car. My wife would watch Netflix on long drives and my car USB port or the normal USB charger I got for the cigarette lighter worked until I up'd it to a 2A charger. I can have screen on for hours while streaming video and still fully charge the tablet in a reasonable amount of time.
When I put my nexus to charge, screen flickers like it needs more power. But when I increase the brightness it goes away or I can't see it. Tried a different power outlet as well. And I'm using the turbo charger.
Anyone experiencing this?

Yes I am also experiencing this issue. I contacted the (UK) Google Play support and they suggested:
Reboot to Safe Mode (Test Charging)
Factory Reset Device (Test Charging)
In both instances Google Play were trying to eliminate any applications that may be causing the issue. Needless to say I tried both suggestions and the issue still prevails. I have requested a replacement device but you are quite right...this only occurs when you use the Turbo charger - I tested a HTC M8 charger and the issue disappeared. It is also not consistently replicated - sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to occur between 30%-80% of charge and then stops (I could be imagining that!).
I am hoping its nothing serious and either a faulty charger, a feature/symptom of "turbo" charging or at best just a one off faulty device. I may even ring Motorola themselves and see if they can explain whether it is a fault or a non intentional side effect. The latter would be very disappointing.
Have you made any progress?
Mine does the same thing. I'll try with a different charger and stuff later, but just thought I'd let you inow that the two of you arent alone.
It doesnt bug me. Normally when my phones charging I'm not using it.
Same here. Was gonna post but wanted to wait and see if someone else would first. Kinda annoying but not a big deal. It doesn't do it with my car charger and maps open and that's usually the only time I charge while using the screen.
I contacted Motorola and they suggested to wipe the cache too. I haven't successfully been able to do that yet. I think also the representative may have mistaken my explanation as definitely being caused by an application. I doubt it will rectify it but nevertheless here is the response below, it may help. Either way both Google Play (UK) and Motorola seem unaware/surprised regarding this issue, yet still very interested in helping fix it.
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
I am sorry to hear that there is a problem with you phone.
Please try the steps below to see if they can solve the problem.
If the first step does not solve the problem please continue with the next.
1. Safe mode
To Enable Safe Mode, please try the following:
1. Press the Power key
2. Touch and hold Power off
3. Touch OK when Reboot to safe mode appears
4. Phone will reboot and Safe Mode will appear in bottom left corner
5. Check if the problem is solved. If this is the case continue with the next steps. If not continue with the Clear Cache option
6. While in Safe Mode, launch apps one at a time to identify the app causing the problem
7. Remove the app that causes the problem from the device
To remove an application:
1. From the home scree, tap the circle with 6 dots (Menu)
2. Tap and hold the application that you want to remove
3. Drag tp Uninstall at the top of the screen
4. Confirm by touching OK
After you have identified and removed the application simply power cycle the device to disable safe mode.
2. Clear Cache
CLEAR CACHE PARTITION
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to select this option
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence
If the problem is still not solved please backup the information on the device and continue with a factory data reset.
Once you have backed up your information, please try the following to perform the factory data reset:
1. From the home screen, tap Menu icon (a circle with 6 dots on it, located at the bottom).
2. Tap Settings.
3. Under the Personal section, tap Backup & reset.
4. Tap Factory data reset.
5. Tap Reset phone.
6. Tap Erase everything.
Please allow several minutes for the factory data reset and reboot processes to complete.

Happens to me too. Don't see it as an issue unless the flicker occurs when the phone is disconnected from the turbo charger
Happens to me as well. Also, when I wake up in the morning, I can "hear" my phone charging. Something makes a constant noise, and it goes away as soon as I take the charger off.
Only hear it when the phone is fully charged and still on charger.
Thank you for the reply guys. Since I'm on my holidays I didn't have that much time to deal with this issue. I was going to send back the phone when I get back but now i'm thinking to buy a wireless charger or use another charger since phone get extra hot too when you are using the turbo charger.

Hi
Just a quick update.
I received my replacement device and I haven't seen the flickering yet - hopefully that is the end of it for me.
As somebody else has said, if it doesn't bother you then save the hassle. If it does, Google Play seem happy to replace under warranty.
Thanks for the comments.

I experienced similar things with the screen flickering but this was off the charger as in not using the charger. I notice it most when you have the screen brightness low up to about 25% with the adaptive lighting turned on. The moment I turn off the adaptive lighting and raise the brightness above 40% the flickering seems to go away. So my screen flickering issue has been when I'm not using the charger. Has anyone else experienced this or might this be a defective screen?
My screen flickers at low brightness only. Its not that bad and I figure it night have to do with how dim the screen gets in the dark but I'm not sure. I may eventually RMA it, however it doesn't bother me currently so in fine with it happening.

Why? The quick charger only draws what the power control chip determines it needs. It won't overdraw current. I've used my quick charger over night many times with 0 issues. I've also used my quick charger 2.0 car charger on a road trip the whole way and again no issues. My battery life is still the same 6-6.5 hours SOT that it was when i bought it. I now use my qi charger. Where is the evidence that says its bad? If there isn't any then its not good to spread rumors about it being bad. (I'm not saying your losing, I just want to see where/how your concluded that)

When you leave your phone on the turbo charger overnight, do you hear a noise in the morning coming from the N6? I could hear a noise coming from the charging port in the morning on the turbo charger, its fine now with a regular charger.

Nope, mine doesn't buzz at all when I leave it. Ill test it again later, but I haven't had this issue. I have 2 of the quick chargers for my home and one for my car and my wife uses it for her S5 without any issues too. Maybe your charger is the issue?
Quick charge only charges quick for about 20 Mins then turns to the normal 5v 1a setting that most chargers use. I read the specs somewhere and it is completely determined by the phone. So it's not gonna hurt using it all the time. However if yours is buzzing it may be the charger like the others said.
You could download battery monitor widget and watch the voltage and amps that its drawing. At peak it draws 2.5amps at 9v if I recall correctly. I'll check it when my battery gets low again. The quick charger doesn't have any adverse effect that you would notice over a standard 2 year usage for a phone any more than a standard charger. Unless your battery is really hot all of the time it won't degrade any faster.
I am getting this flickering when charging with turbo charger too.. Hmm I wonder if this will kill the screen
I recently got a wireless charger for my Droid Turbo and have noticed that once full the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting, It almost seems like this is by design, it is so uniform, I just want to make sure nothing is wrong with my charger or my phone.
Are other people having this issue?
Android's built in battery monitor resets when I take the phone off of any charger, so It does not show this.

My phone does the same thing, so I am assume it is by design, but if anyone else knows more, I'd love to hear from them as well!
Yes, that's how all modern devices with chargers work. Once it becomes fully charged, the idea is you take it off the charger. If you leave it sit on there, though, it's going to harm the battery if the charger keeps pumping electricity into it, so it stops for a while. Once it hits 98-99%, it's no longer fully charged and begins charging again. Obviously this isn't the best for the battery longevity either, so again, you should take it off the charger once it hits 100%. But the behavior you're seeing here is normal.
The only issue I have is I have a custom sound through Xposed module for when I'm wireless charging and not. Helps to know when you hit the Qi pad "sweet spot". Or if I accidentally move the phone off the sweet spot and it's no longer charging (but I want it to).
Wireless Charging | Xposed
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.eldarerathis.xposedmodule.wirelesschargingxposed
Somehow my and my wife's LG Nexus 5 is smart enough to stop charging on the Qi pad (when battery is full) and NOT trigger the custom ON/OFF sound -- because I did NOT remove the phone from the charging pad. It still stops charging and starts recharging, periodically but until I PHYSICALLY remove the Nexus 5, it does not chime. It KNOWS the difference between me moving the phone and the battery's automatic circuitry. Or if I put the phone physically back ON the pad, THEN it chimes. But if the Nexus 5 battery charging cuts off/on by itself, it does not trigger the notification.
Yet, with my Moto Maxx, when the battery gets full, CHIME! A couple minutes later, CHIME! A couple minutes later, CHIME! (off, on, off, on, off, on). Very annoying. LG somehow is smarter so that doesn't happen.
I sold my Nexus 5 a couple of weeks ago, but my wife still has hers. On our living room and bedroom charging pads, I see the comparison side by side ever day. Same Xposed module, but Moto stupidly thinks I've "removed" the device from the charging pad when it stops charging the battery because it's full. And then starts back, and then stops.
This phone has generally been rock solid and I love it. Today the weirdest thing happened. Phone was working great and battery was at 30%. I launched camera to take a picture. I took a picture. Right after the low battery noise came and the popup saying the phone was shutting down due to battery came up. Phone shut down. I powered it back up and it worked fine. Battery continued to go down over time to 14% before I charged it.
Any idea why this happened? Never happened before but its super annoying because I was trying to take some pictures but since it powered off by the time it booted back up and was ready the picture opportunity was gone. I'm wondering if its a problem with the camera app or not. Anybody seen anything similar?
Not sure if it was the cause or not but my turbo did that once and it turned out it was the over heat protection. But the phone made a lot of warning heels really loud prior to the shutdown.
I've seen it loose sync with the actual battery charge, so it thinks it's %30, but really almost dead.
Here's how I've fixed it;
plug into the turbo charger it came with
press and hold power button till phone powers down
keep holding until you see a battery icon, let go,
it will give a quick vibrate, then the battery icon will show the true charge (may be a few seconds)..
press and hold again for a couple seconds and it will reboot, let it charge till %100
Seems like if you charge it off a weird voltage, it looses the calibration. I've seen people talk about wireless chargers do it, and I've personally seen usb3 ports do it to my phone.
good luck!
Hello,
I was using my tablet Transformer TF701T for the first time in a couple of months today. It had 5% battery or so, so the keyboard dock was also plugged into the wall charger and everything was fine.
Suddenly, during use, the tablet just went totally blank; not even the power LED is on (as it normally would be if the charger was plugged in).
The orange light is still on the keyboard dock, so that is charging. (In fact, after a few hours of being plugged in, the keyboard dock is now green)
I have tried holding down the power and volume down buttons for periods of time, but this has done nothing. I have tried plugging the charger into the base of the tablet where it docks. This did not make it light up either. (The charger has been plugged into the base of the charger all night but to no avail)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tom.

I have the same problem here. I don't know yet if it is a physical problem or a software one.
Here is my explanation and test.
I think at a certain point, there is a ''bug'' and the screen goes black and doesn't turn back on. That said, the tablet is still on. If you manage to press power, unlock by sliding, and lower/raise the volume, you should hear the DING DING sound. If it works for you, it confirms my theory.
The only way I found to fix that problem is to let the battery reach 0%. It might takes 1 week maybe. After that, connect a charger and press power quickly, you will see the red battery indicating the charging of the tablet. From that point,,, I leave it charge 30-80% then power on again. It works fine until the next ''ceasure''.
I don't know if it is related to usage. Pressing power multiple time, or reaching a certain temperature or usage level.
I've also read solutions with putting 2 cables on the battery to short it. There are also applications that can be remote triggered to ''burn'' the battery and empty it faster. I regret I didn't bring that back. I'm also wondering if cianogen could fix that. No more updates or support coming soon, although if I saw a conference in singapore showing compatibility with the new kitkat os.
anyway good luck, I'll keep my researchs.

I'm afraid that did nothing. Hearing no response whatsoever!
I'll keep experimenting. I can't send it back to ASUS as I don't have the serial number.
