5 Ways to Make a Samsung Phone Light Up When Charging

Understanding Samsung Phone Charging Displays

When your Samsung phone is charging, you have several options to customize how the screen behaves, ensuring it meets your needs and preferences. Here are five ways to make your Samsung phone light up when charging, along with specific steps and tips.

1. Always On Display (AOD) Settings

To keep your screen on while charging, you can use the Always On Display feature. This allows your screen to stay awake and display information even when it's locked.

• Steps:
  • Go to Settings > Display > Always On Display.
  • Toggle on Always On Display.
  • You can also customize the AOD settings to show only when you receive notifications or set a specific schedule.

2. Screen Timeout Adjustment

Adjusting the screen timeout can ensure your screen stays on for a longer period while charging.

• Steps:
  • Go to Settings > Display > Screen timeout.
  • Set the screen timeout to a longer duration, such as 10 minutes or more.
  • If you want the screen to stay on indefinitely while charging, you can set it to stay awake by enabling the "Stay awake" option in the developer settings.

3. Charging Information Display

You can enable the charging information display to show details about the charging process on your screen.

• Steps:
  • Go to Settings > Battery > Charging settings.
  • Look for the option to Show charging information and toggle it on. This will display the charging status and other relevant details on your screen.

4. Edge Lighting and Notifications

If you want to see notifications while your phone is charging, you can use Edge lighting, which illuminates the edges of your screen when notifications arrive.

• Steps:
  • Go to Settings > Notifications > Notification pop-up style.
  • Select Edge lighting style and choose your preferred effect, such as Basic, Bubble, or Heart.
  • Customize the color and other settings as desired.

5. Disabling Fast Cable Charging Notifications

If you accidentally disabled the charging notification and want it back, you can re-enable it by toggling the Fast Cable Charging option.

• Steps:
  • Unplug your USB charger.
  • Go to Settings > Device maintenance > Battery > Advanced settings.
  • Disable Fast Cable Charging and then enable it again. This will reset the notification settings.

By using these methods, you can customize your Samsung phone's behavior while it's charging, ensuring it stays lit up and informative according to your preferences.
