Phone charged notification with Kitkat update

Since my Kitkat update on Saturday my phone plays an annoying ring tone (which I'm not even using for any other notifications) when my battery achieves 100% charge.  It even comes through in blocking mode (and woke me up last night).  I've done a google search and it looks like this can't be disabled without rooting?  I can't root my phone (use for work) so need another solution.  Tried a battery notification app and disabled sound but it didn't work.

    cdpS4,
Thank you so much for the further info. I have the same device and after reviewing the phone in full details I would like to look at one setting on the device. Go to Settings, More, if there is an option for Developer Options tap on that, if there is a check mark in the Stay Awake box, please remove that check mark from the box. Then retest the device to see if those alerts will come in when the battery if full.
If you don't have the Developer Options follow these steps:
Settings
More
About Phone
Tap on Build Number until the screen says "Developer mode is turned on"
Once that is on go back to Home screen
Back to Settings,
More
and you should now see Developer Options. Then complete the steps listed above.
Please keep me posted.

  • HT4623 i had my phone charging and started my update when i went to bed and it wont turn on after 12 hours

    also the apple keeps turning on and off. will it turn back on?

    It can take a while for the progress bar to move, mine sat there with no movement for over an hour.
    Be patient and do not do anything it will complete in time.

  • KitKat update has turned my phone into a brick. It won't turn on, and I can't get it to take a charge. HELP!!

    My phone went through the Kitkat update about a week ago, and since I've ran out of battery with in 8 hours of taking it off a full charge, and now today It died, and I plugged it in, well it won't charge, and i can't get it to turn on at all. My phone is a brick right now and I really just don't understand what I can't do to fix it. 

    Don't do the update. My phone did the update and the droid laid on his back with an X and now all I get is the red logo. cant do a factory reboot or get into the ap menu just red logo. IT BRICKED MY PHONE I have had it since they came out and have been all over the world with it, and never had a problem until KITKAT BRICKED IT.
    Verizon only response is to send me a refurbished phone that I will have to spend weeks to get it set back up to the way that I had it.
    I am not happy with the response for their screw up. I don't want a refurbished phone I want my good phone to work and they don't know how to fix it just replace that is the support. I have seen the post on the net and I am not the only person that this has happened to in the android community.
    If you want a good paper weight than do the update and take the chance.

  • HT1694 Where is the setting in IOS7 to set the number of emails. In IOS6 I had it set to 100, but now I have over 500 with the update

    After upgrading to IOS7 my email is no longer limited to 100 as I had previously set it. I now have over 500 and can't find the limit setting anymore.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    I am having the same problem, only I have over 2,000 emails now showing up. I used to only get 200. I never did set that figure up in my phone, it change with software updated. 2 upgrades ago, the phone only carried 100.
    Maybe Apple is now letting all our email through.

  • I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract.  Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy.  I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

    I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract.  Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy.  I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • Help with Battery Life Droid Razr M KitKat update jacked up my phone like everyone elses'...

    So as with everyone else KitKat has screwed my phone up and I am very annoyed...  Disregarding the fact that I had to download a different keyboard because they removed Swype and screwed up the dialer and the colors of our texts, erased the calendar which thank God I didn't use because a friend who did had all her appointments removed it totally jacked up my battery life.  Yesterday I literally had a full charge at about 9:30am and by 11:30 it was down to about 30%.  I had not used it much at all and it was connected to my bluetooth in my car.  The phone also gets hot for no reason when not charging or being used.  All of a sudden my leg will get warm and I realize it's because the phone in my pocket is extremely hot...  Probably not safe.  When I look it says that the screen was draining 46% of my battery life yet the screen is set to auto as recommended in other posts I have seen from customer service.  We need a fix for this KitKat or a way to revert to Jellybean...  I can't keep my phone charging constantly and I need it as I am a social worker and am in the field often.  I need my phone for safety purposes as well as convenience.  Sigh... Verizon Wireless Customer Support HELP!  I can't CONSTANTLY charge my phone in order to be able to use it!  So annoying!
    Sarah
    P.S. None of this was an issue prior to KitKat being downloaded to the phone. 

    After installing the update, did you perform a Factory Data Reset on your phone?
    You might want to consider backing up your important photos, music, videos, other downloaded content. Write down critical things like your email settings. Jot down important contacts, and any calendar events. Diagram where you've located certain icons.
    Then perform the FDR.
    Allow three charge cycles for the phone to model battery consumption.
    Other things you can do, YMMV:
    Go to Settings | Tethering and networks | Mobile Networks | System Select | Network Mode | LTE/CDMA (change it from Global).
    Instead of screen brightness automatic, choose something like 40-50%.
    For email synching / polling, choose a polling interval of 15 or 30minutes (maybe not as often).
    Go to Settings | WiFi  then press the Menu button. Choose Advanced. Make sure "Battery saving for Wi-Fi" is enabled. Deselect Scanning always available, and Deselect Wif-Fi signal weak.
    Now do the following: Go to Settings | Mobile Data. Press the Menu Button. Select Show Wi-Fi usage.
    Power cycle your phone.
    Now you can go to Settings | Mobile Data and choose Mobile or Wi-Fi tabs and see what applications are using the corresponding radios. That and using the Settings | Battery | Select the battery, then scroll down... The three of these should show you want is consuming the battery and the radios... thus heating up your device and lowering your battery runtime.
    Good luck.

  • Can't even answer the phone with new update to KitKat on my RAZR M. anyone have instructions?

    With he new Android 4.4 Kitkat update I can't even figure out how to answer the phone when someone calls. I have to wait and call them back. Is there any kind of instructions out there that tells us how to use the new OS? thanks

    In Kitkat you have to click and drag to the right when you see the "pulsing" dotted circle.  Then a green (or red) dot will show up. Drag to the green dot and release. 
    I had the same problem the first two phone calls, until I figured it out.  Would be nice if they had warned us beforehand.

  • Droid Razr M, but with the new Kitkat update problems

  • SIII won't charge since KitKat update!

    Since the KitKat update yesterday, I'm having these problems:
    1.   Touch screen is less sensitive and won't move up and down easily.
    2.   PHONE WON'T CHARGE!  I have to charge the battery externally and replace -- every few hours.  
    If I do factory reset -- will I need to reload all apps and all my crazy passwords?   What will the auto backup save -- contacts only? 
    VERY, VERY, VERY UNHAPPY -- LOVED MY PHONE BEFORE.   FURIOUS NOW. 

    This began within hours of updating -- no other changes.   I used verizon cloud to back up my device. When I try to charge, I get the red x that others have talked about.  When no charger / sync cord is connected, my battery life icon is white instead of green.   The battery life percentage drops very quickly.    I have been charging my previously unused samsung battery with an external battery charger and replacing it.   I also have a lithium ion battery and charger that I'm using.   
    Thanks,
    Alli Wischer

  • My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?

        Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

  • Who else is having MAJOR issues with their Droid DNA post 4.4 (KitKat) update??

    I usually don't complain or post much about my phone because problems are generally quickly fixed, but this update is just ridiculous. After updating to KitKat, my phone has the following problems:
    1. Text Messages - I constantly get text message errors. Always get the error that my message is not able to be sent. I have two problems with this. First, I get the error that the message was not able to be sent, but the recipient tells me they get mass spammed the same message 3+ times. Second, sometimes the recipient does not receive the message and it never goes through.
    2. Network connection - Since the update, my phone usually does NOT have any type of connection whatsoever. The status bar shows I have 3G or 4G, but when I go to the internet app or try to use any form of data, I get the No data connection/no network connection error. Also, many times I am unable to receive/place calls.
    2. Battery Life - significantly reduced battery life. This is not too big a deal because I'm assuming the new Android version takes more battery power. I can stomach this.
    Please assist me with this as soon as possible. I'd hate to have to drop Verizon for such a silly issue.

        I'm sorrry to hear you're having so many issues with your Droid DNA after your update pl124. I can understand the frustrations you're experiencing but we are here to help. Have you performed any trouble shooting steps with us regarding the issues you're having? Although I'm unable to fix any of the functionality changes caused by the update, I can help with the issues. Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, its always a good idea to temporarily remove it to see if its causing an issue. We also recommend safe mode, which disables all apps and allows you the opportunity to readd them one at a time to see if that particular one is causing an issue. Here are the steps http://vz.to/1g3i9mj .
    Additionally, if you're having issues with missed calls and text, we also recommend a SIM card pull to reconnect your phone back to the towers. Just like rebooting a computer down completely and back up. Where are you located (zipcode)? Are issues with calls and text occuring inside or outside our home? There may be an issue in the area. Here are the steps to safe mode http://vz.to/1hRNOb1 .
    The great thing is you always have the chance to download apps from the app store to help with personalization for your ringtones, wallpapers, graphics, and minor functionalities. I know its upsetting to have so many changes after personalizing your phone but we hope the software gave you some benefits. If you continue to have problems, a hard reset is the last step that can usually correct minor issues but will also require a complete reset back to factory settings. Keep us posted and let us know if the phone gets better with some of the steps above. We want you to love your phone again and only change devices because you are ready for the latest and greatest and not because of issues.

  • My update failed and now my phone is frozen with the apple symbol

    I was updating my iPhone and it failed and now my phone is frozen with the Apple Icon.  It wont turn off or anything

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

    Hi- My  Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

    Update
    I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

  • Galaxy S4 KitKat Update Causing Major Issues With Data Speed and Text Messaging

    Dear All,
    My company has over 40 phone users and since the KitKat update has pushed out we are experiencing two major isssues:
    Many of our phones are only getting 3G in places that historically before they had blazing fast 4G.  Most message boards say to power off, remove the SIM card and replace.  This gives only temporary relief.  We get 4G for 10 minutes, and then it reverts to 3G, and it is slow 3G at that.  I have seen where some have gone and gotten a replacement SIM, but they indicate this is not a long term solution.  I have also seen that a hard reset/factory reset is being proposed.  However, this seems ridiculous to do to over 40 devises where the obvious cause is the update.  Has anyone found the answer to this one?
    Many users, including myself are now having outbound text messages fail.  We have to resend them over and over to get them to go through.  This problem is pretty widespread through the device pool.  I am unsure what could be causing this.  The messages fail regardless of if the phone is connected to wireless or not.

    I have had the same problem with my phone. Called tech support and after they contacted Samsung the solution is a factory reset to fix the problem and they are supposedly working on a fix for it. After doing the reset Friday, I have to restart my phone multiple times during the day to get messages to send. I also notice only 3G where we always had 4G. Called tech support again and was given the option to send phone in to have it repaired or get a refurb under warranty. Not sure what I am going to do yet but I can see it is definitely not just my phone. Of course the techs say they have not heard of this before.
