Android L "do not disturb" feature

I cannot seem to disable the notification sound when the battery is fully charged. I leave my phone on charge at night and this sound continues and continues until I unplug the phone. (LG G3 5.0.1)
 
Is this a system feature or some app? If it's a system thing, can you not turn it off from the system Settings (Sound and notifications, or Power)?

If you can find which app it is you could try Settings > Sound & notifications > App notifications, select the app and block its notifications completely there.

Afraid I've never owned a phone which actually has this notification in the first place, and would certainly disable it one way or another if I had it.
 
The Do Not Disturb feature is part of the UI of the phone. It is not a downloaded app. I use it at night so I am not bothered by sounds from notifications or unwanted calls. I can find no way to turn it off from the sounds and notification feature
 
I didn't mean turn off the Do Not Disturb, I meant turn off the "device fully charged" notification!

I also use the DND feature, so know what that is. :). But my devices don't have the "fully charged" notification, so was not sure whether that is an app or a system feature on your phone.
 
The battery issue is part of the user interface of Lollipop. I have resolved the problem by downloading a separate Do Not Disturb app from Google Play Store. It seems to be working just fine but as soon as the time expires the battery issue pops up again and rings and rings and rings indicating that the battery is charged. I do not know how to turn the battery notification off.
 
The battery notification may be part of LG's Lollipop, but isn't common to all Lollipop versions.

Can you use the notification in the app drawer (assuming it shows up there) to identify the app? Long press on it then click the info button? Of course it may come up with something unhelpful like "Settings", but at least then we'd know.
 
The pull-down thingy does not have any place to mute notifications of a full battery.. Based on what I've seen from other forums the problem I have is not unique. I plan to download "Tasker" and see if I can't write a program to eliminate my problem. Will keep you all informed

If anyone has the home phone number of the idiot that wrote the UI for the LG G3 please post it here because I'd like to call his a$$ everytime my phone dings to tell me battery full. Glad to get that out.

I tried everything, original charger and cable, fiddled with all settings. NOTHING worked. This is embedded into the UI designed by an idiot at LG.

Anyone who has a solution, please don't suggest to me:
• use original charger (I did since day 1)
• it's in the settings (it's not)
• turn off all notifications (I still need my phone to ring and alert me for texts, emails, alarm clock etc.)
• use 3rd party app (I shouldn't have to)
• don't put the phone beside the bed at night (I'm not gonna change my lifestyle/habits/ways because LG hired an incompetent moron to write their UI. If I can't use the phone then why have one?)
 
I "might" know a way to silence that battery full notification but it breaks one of your rules "use 3rd party app"
 
About the only things not excluded by that list are:

* remove the sound file used by the notification (or replace with a silent one). Will require root I expect.

* Buy a different phone.

But I don't see either being popular. Do all of the rest of the LG owners here just put up with this?

Seriously though, suffering an annoyance rather than use a 3rd party app "because I shouldn't have to" is self-defeating, and won't inconvenience LG one bit. At least complain to them and tell them this will cost them sales (the only thing any company cares about).
 
• Just so you know it dings & vibrates for the battery full notification. Removing sound file can only be done by rooting but even so the vibrating would still happen. Rooting phones seems like a great idea but there are 2 big disadvantages: 1. voids your warranty and 2. your confidential info (passwords, etc.) can be stolen through non-playstore apps and even through your rooted OS. Therefore, rooting is not an option for me.

• Can't buy different phone due to cost and many other reasons.

I don't know how people can put up with this. I'm really frustrated with LG because of this. There needs to be a recall on phones and software like they do on vehicles. Can't ignore customers like this.

Don't know why LG didn't fix this issue in their latest OS update but I guess the saying goes "Stupid is as stupid does"
 
My phone makes one short chirp when the battery is full, that's all. Not any big deal to me since my phone is on vibrate when I'm sleeping, so I don't hear it.

Just to clarify you on a misconception you made: Even if not rooted, you can install non-Play Store apps. All it takes is ticking a checkbox in the settings. Amazon AppStore and all the apps in there, regardless of whether they are available on Play are all considered non-Play Store apps. In the same way, even if not rooted, given the right permissions and the user accepting those permissions via installing, your confidential data are liable to be stolen. Rooting has no bearing on making your confidential data less secure.

As for why LG didn't fix this issue, if only a small minority of their customers complain but the vast majority don't mind the feature, they assume that the majority like it and the minority will have to put up with it. If it's existence doesn't affect sales, or they don't receive enough complaints to make it worth their while, they're unlikely to change it. Saying that everywhere in any forum you look people are complaining don't count. I personally don't believe LG or any manufacturer for that reason patrols internet forums for feedback.

As stated above, without using a third party app or rooting, there really isn't much you can do.
