I'm planning on using this next to the bed. Does the screen turn off like regular charging? I really don't want that screen on all night.

Well, on my S5 when it's on the charger, it lights up every few minutes or so, like the screen has been activated by something. I wished i could figure this out. A simple LED is no problem, but when the whole screen lights up.......

Yes, the screen on the S5 goes off with its normal time-out. The only lights are the very small red charge LED on the phone, and a very dim green light on the charger base. My wife is very sensitive to a dark room, and this unit with my S5 gives her no problem. I REALLY like this unit....it's much better than the other charging pads I have!

Only very slightly... but, that isn't unique to this charger. Like another person said, my phone is set to go to lock-screen and then sleep (turn off the screen) after 2 minutes, so it isn't just idling away while charging at the same time.

Yes, I leave mine off until I get down to about 20-30% power on until recharged to 100%. I'll turn it back off and I can do that 2-3 times per case charge, unless I forget to turn it back off when recharging the phone. Be aware that it does get warm to the touch when charging the phone, not too hot but you know it's on. Also make sure your lighting plug port is clean as if it traps dirt or anything it can scratch the connections and cause issues with the phone. Otherwise highly recommended.

Yes, I have. I mainly use it for my phone and I've noticed that it shuts off automatically and stops charging. Despite having (presumably) charged all night. I'm getting ready to return it.

Is that a question or a statement? If it's a question. Yes the screen does turn off. You can set how long it stays on for and how it comes on as well

No I've charged it time and time again with it off. Its best that it's turned off during such process due to the fact in its on state it will be corresponding as a active device.

That's a little tricky. Most devices that "go to sleep" still draw some small amount of current. The LCG3 does have a sensitivity adjustment you can use and that may allow you to compensate for the slight draw. I have mine connected to my computer to turn off my two monitors when the tower is turned off. However, the LCG3 is plugged into a UPS, we have very flaky power, and every time the UPS kicks in the monitors come on for a brief period even thought the computer does not come on.

My daughter uses it for school every day so she charges it every night. We've never run the battery all the way down. She's pretty diligent about turning it off when she's not using it. I believe the keyboard will go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

It will turn off after about 5 minutes of not being used. It also doesn't drain a ton of Battery while being on because it's just the light of the device that's on.

You can turn the video screen off on the charger. Once you hear a noise, you can quickly switch it back on.

I just leave it alone. As long as its not charging another device it will turn off on its own.

So far I have been using it, it turns itself off ....... It also rest in a charging docking station. The battery is very easy to removeHope this gives you a solution for your question.Luc

The Nyko charge base has an auto shut off feature. So you should be good with leaving your items charging.

I don't think you can turn it off or get it below 1. Your only options are probably to turn the front away from you, or use something to cover that part of the display. A small hand towel could probably be used to bunch up in front of it while you're sleeping, while easily stowed away when making your bed in the morning.

Leslie, No off-on switch. Screen is always "on". My experience, though, with this kind of screen is they use negligible power. Battery should last a long, long time. (My wife likes this thing. Uses it for laundry machine timing.) John McNeill Springfield, South Dakota

BabsStarbuck: I charge my phone at night while I sleep. . . the battery usually will last all day and most of the time through THAT night, so i don't have to charge it every single day.

The light does turn off when charging is complete-- I just tested mine and it went from Amber to off to indicate it's charging state.
