How can I prevent the S5's screen from coming on when charging completes?

I got my S5 today and it seems to have a "feature" that will be very damaging to the OLED display.  When it's done charging, the screen comes on and stays on.  I've been going through all the settings I can find and don't see anything that will prevent this.  Since static images burn into OLED screens, this is the last thing I want.  It's done the same thing several times.  My old phone (Galaxy Nexus) didn't do this.  When the Nexus finished charging, it did so with no fanfare.  The screen stayed off.
When the S5 is locked and the screen is off, there's no reason for the screen to come on for anything short of a phone call.  It certainly shouldn't come on and stay on just because the battery finished charging.  And, any time the display does come on without user input, it should turn off again automatically if it's idle for the length of the screen timeout.
I've got "Smart stay" turned off and "Screen timeout" set to 1 minute but, after it self-activates, it stays on indefinitely.  I've let it go for 20 minutes and the screen is still on.  How can I fix this?  If I can't get this behavior to stop, it's going back to the store.  I'm not paying $600 plus tax to have my lock screen burned onto my phone because I charge it at night.

Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

  • How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

    Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

  • HT204053 How can i delete the old apple id from my phone when i can no longer log in?

    I changed my internet provider and address. I then changed my apple id to coincide with my new address and deleted my old address. My phone did not update to the new address. I can't change the details on my phone in settings because i can't access the internet. i tried to delete the account but i can't do that with out logging in.
    How can i update the apple id on my phone when i can't log into it?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • How can I prevent the MediaTracker waitForID method from blocking?

    Hi everyone:
    I am writing an application that deals with various image file formats with the help of the JIMI package (available at http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/). Everything works fine except for the Targa format. When I generate an Image object as follows (url is a valid URL object):
    Image image = Jimi.getImage(url);
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);the program execution blocks at the second line above. I searched the ImageIcon source code for some clues, which led me to the following ImageIcon method (tracker is a MediaTracker object, a static property of ImageIcon):
    (01) protected void loadImage(Image image) {
    (02)   synchronized(tracker) {
    (03)     tracker.addImage(image, 0);
    (04)     try {
    (05)       tracker.waitForID(0, 0);
    (06)     } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    (07)       System.out.println("INTERRUPTED while loading Image");
    (08)     }
    (09)     loadStatus = tracker.statusID(0, false);
    (10)     tracker.removeImage(image, 0);
    (11)
    (12)     width = image.getWidth(imageObserver);
    (13)     height = image.getHeight(imageObserver);
    (14)   }
    (15) }The program blocks at line (05) above. I peeked into the MediaTracker class source code, which brought me to determine that the image loading process never finishes. The symptoms are as follows:
    (1) When I perform a c.checkImage(image, null) where c is some Component, I always get a result of 7, which translates to the following combination of ImageObserver constants:
    WIDTH | HEIGHT | PROPERTIESAs matter of fact, the dimensions are indeed determined correctly. However, when the loading process terminates, the checkImage result includes ALLBITS or FRAMEBITS in case of success, ABORT or ERROR in case of failure. None of these bits is ever turned on whenever I try to load a Targa image.
    (2) When I get to the MediaTracker source code, I see that when none of the four bytes above is set, the internal MediaTracker status has the MediaTracker.LOADING bit turned on (nothing abnormal here). And the waitForID method terminates precisely only when this bit is turned off!
    Logically, if the loading process fails for some reason, I should expect to get an error response so that I can go further in code execution. However, since the loading process never terminates, everything stays blocked at the waitForID method invocation.
    Is there an efficient way to detect such a hidden loading error without letting my program go into the waitForID endless loop? In other words, going back to the first two lines of code of this message, how could I detect that an Image loading process will not terminate before calling the ImageIcon constructor?
    Thanks in advance for any useful help...

    Hi:
    I tried precisely your suggestion before posting my message to the forum yesterday. I just forgot to mention it... Maybe I was afraid of increasing my message length more and more...
    I already know that this solution prevents the MediaTracker from blocking. However...
    (1) If they reach a troublesome image (like a Targa), the users of my application might not be pleased by its freezing for 10 seconds. Actually, this image loading module is part of an architecture for database applications from which my development team and I produce applications for various customers. Images are used, in particular, in Oracle BLOB support.
    (2) If I use a smaller timeout delay, I have no guarantee that any image, whatever its length, will load properly (Targa excluded, of course). According to tests I performed yesterday, I am virtually sure that the 10-second delay will be busted very easily by pictures larger than 1 Mb. I cannot overlook this potential problem: an Oracle BLOB can contain up to 2 terabytes of data!
    On the other side, I don't want to focus too much the attention on the JIMI Targa import filter because I know that a revised version of the JIMI and JAI packages will be part of JDK 1.4. This is why I am trying to figure out what is happening in the MediaTracker and Toolkit classes, which are much more fundamental than the Jimi ones...
    Thanks anyway...

  • When using Teststand, how do I prevent the LABView splash screen from appearing?

    It comes up even if I have the "Don't show this screen" checked !

    I'm excited to see TestStand is a celbrity product.
    Typically when you run a sequence in TestStand, LabVIEW is launched by TestStand when the sequence contains steps that use the LV adapter. In this case LV is launched through its ActiveX interface and the LV splash screen is suppressed. This is in contrast to launching LabVIEW manually in which case the LV splash screen will be displayed.
    In your case I'm not sure how LV is being launched. You might want to shut down LV and then run your sequence to see if the splash screen is then suppressed.
    You may also want to read NI Knowledgebase article 28MEPUXL, "Why Does the LabVIEW Startup Screen Appear When Using the Dialog Box Function from Within My VI?". In this case LV has been opened manually and not be Test
    Stand, such that the splash screen is not suppressed.

  • How can I prevent the active Tab Group from changing whenever I close a tab?

    Simply, often I will close a tab in Firefox 4; then, for some reason the active Tab Group changes to some other collection. It usually happens when I close the last tab in my tabs bar, but it has happened after closing other tabs, as well. Would love to prevent Tab Groups from changing automatically. Thank you!

  • How do I prevent the Lion boot partition from being reformatted when using boot camp?

    Under Windows 7, Computer Mgt, I shrink the C drive to create another drive.  When I right click on the unused drive to format it, 200MB Lion boot is formatted and assigned a drive letter F.  But I did not tell Windows 7 Computer Management to do that.  I clicked on the unused 170GB space to create it as F, I did not click on the 200MB Lion boot partition at the front of the list.
    Now I have to take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall Lion for me.
    I tried this twice and it happened twice.  So now I need to go back to the Apple store a second time for help on the same problem.
    Would the 200MB Lion boot disk at the front be safe from reformatting if I first made it drive letter F, and then made the new drive letter H at the right side of the drive list in Computer Management?  Also, there is an unlettered drive between the Lion drive E and the Windows 7 drive C.  Should I make that G prior to formatting drive H?
    By the way, I did this on another MacBook pro that was using Snow Leopard, following the same procedure, and had no problems.  So could a different version of Boot Camp be the issue?

    I just found an older question similar to this one that you also replied to. It was from 2012 and never solved. The only things I am using in my set up is a male quarter inch cable from my guitar to my interface, a USB cable from my interface to my computer, and headphones from my interface to my ears of course. Just like in the other question I found I have everything in the Audio MIDI Setup of the computer set to use the interface as input and output and I also have everything in garage band setup to use the interface as audio input and output. Any new track is recording the metronome and any old track that is being played in the headphones. No external speakers are being used for monitoring and no microphones are being used.

  • In the Calendar app in Yosemite, how can I prevent the event's details window to disappear when transferring focus to another app?

    When you click on an event to get the full details in a separate window, like a phone number for the meeting, if you move to another app like Skype the details window hides and you cannot look at the comments.
    This is kind of annoying.

    It's not iDVD that opens when you insert a burned DVD,  It's DVD Player.  Set the Apple preferences to igonre when inserting a video DVD.  You will have to launch DVD Ripper manually and locate and open the VOB folder on the DVD disk.

  • How do I stop the Plugin Status screen from coming up every time I open Firefox?

    I get a screen asking me to update or delete a list of plug ins. I don't want to see this every time I open Firefox.

    Updating your Plugin programs would get rid of that "nag" page when you open Firefox.
    Both Java and Flash received updates this past week.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

  • When I turn on messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines and a text list of addresses.  How can I get the regular message screen back?

    When I turn on Messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines.  How can I get the regular Messages screen back?

    The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

  • How can we  prevent the PO while creating the sales order

    Hi All,
    How can we prevent the PO number while creating sales order with existing PO. I have checked the box in sales document type as A but still im able to create sales order with same PO.
    Thanks in advance.
    Naveen

    Hi
    In VOV8 check the box
    Check Purchase Order Number
    The purpose of this field is to check for duplicate
    purchase order (PO) numbers during sales order entry. When you select A in
    this field, SAP gives a warning message during sales order creation if another sales
    document for same customer with the same PO number exists already. Leave this
    field blank if you do not want SAP to check for duplicate PO numbers.
