Disable charging sound and screen?
 
Hi
Does anyone know how to stop the noise when charging starts and stop the screen automaticaly turning on.
I've got a solar charger, and it's getting really anoying and probably using up more battery than it's actually getting charged with doing this!
Thanks
K

As for the sounds, just replace the charging sound in

Code:

/usr/share/sounds
with an empty track.

Or just delete/rename them i.e. add a dot at the end of the name of all sounds that you don't want.

set the system sounds to level 1 or 0 under settings, and disable 'keep screen lit when charging' under display.

IIRC that's a hack because sometimes the phone didn't start charging when locked because of a bug. In 1.1 IIRC (1.2?), the phone auto-wakes up and unlockes before charging. Forcing it locked might not be good.

Shame solar charger didn't work. Sounds like you need a larger panel.

On a side note, I would like the phone to re-lock itself after imforming you it's charging. What is needed is a script/program which could re-lock the phone after a set time if phone was allready locked before charging. Then if time is set to 0 the screen wouldn't activate and save you some charge.

JonWW, yeah it worked fine,.. got one of these

Attatched it to my bag with some sticky backed velcro, used the normal nokia usb cable, works like a charm, get about 1/3-1/2 a charge for an hour outside.
The real problem is that when i'm in and out of the sunshine I think the phone probably uses more charge up unlocking, turning on the screen, and saying it's charging, then waiting to go back to locked.
Otherwise i reckon i could keep it on and in my bag and net out using no batteries while i was outside..
