How to stop IOS 11 battery full beeping

Has anyone found any new info on this? I recently started to experience this. I have an iPhone 6 at iOS 11.3. For me, the intermittent chime and screen wake up only happens when plugged into the charging cable. One thing I should add is that I just had the battery replaced because the phone was painfully slow. (much better now by the way)

This is by far the most frustrating thread I have ever read. On one side multiple people, myself included, are posting about exactly the same fault symptoms. On the other there are basically 3 people who refuse to accept what they are being told and keep insisting that the posters have faulty phones/batteries/chargers or whatever. Let me make this perfect clear. With so many people posting about exactly the same issue then it isn't bloody lint in the charging port! I'm an engineer working on very high tech equipment and these reports would be sounding alarm bells right back to our factory. OK, you haven't seen the problem yourself. Lucky you. Lots of other people have though, and just mindlessly repeating the same advice is totally unhelpful.

What we do know is this. The phones affected are at 11.2 or higher. It seems to mostly affect wireless charging. Multiple charging devices are producing the same effect. It's a bug and Apple need to acknowledge and fix it. The workaround posted by one user is so far the only useful bit of advice.

For the record I have a 1 day old iPhone 8 Plus with a brand new Dockall D100 charging base and it pings when the battery is full and the screen displays the full battery icon. And there's not a speck of lint anywhere!

There are very, very few people posting about this issue. If it were a software bug, the likeliehood is that it would affect a lot more people.

Actually, the original post referred only to iOS 11. A least one of the earlier posts refers to iOS 11.0.2.

And, lint is only one possibility. Others have been mentioned are non-MFI charging equipment and faulty charging port. Yes, there is a problem with some people's phones. Out of the millions of iPhones sold, that's going to happen. When there is a genuine bug, the forum is flooded with posts and it makes the news. So, do the troubleshooting. As you are an engineer, I'm sure I don't need to tell you how to do that.

Best of luck.

I don't understand why you are so reluctant to even acknowledge the possibility that this is a software bug. It's by far the most likely explanation from the complaints so far. There are comparatively very few iPhone users who ever even go on this forum, so I don't buy your contention that it can't be a common issue because you aren't seeing them post here. The charging icon popping up on screen in the past has generated a beep so I don't see why the latest version couldn't. Do you think that Apple completely rewrite the code from scratch every time that they make a change? I doubt it very much. The code that made it beep originally is probably still in V11 but supposedly bypassed. Who knows what possible combination of circumstances could re-enable that code? Different apps, different software revs, different chargers; any number of possibilities spring to mind. The smoking gun, as far as I'm concerned, are the users who didn't have the problem until they updated their phones. No hardware changes; just a problem that suddenly appeared and is identical to lots of other people who "upgraded". I'm not about to pull apart my brand new phone to troubleshoot until Apple officially tell me that it's absolutely not a software issue. Why do you think they constantly issue new software? It isn't usually to add features; it's to fix bugs.

That's because you probably haven't been here when there has been a significant bug and the forums are flooded with posts. But, I honestly don't care if you agree with me or not.

Best of luck.

Well, you can add me to the list of people seeing this behavior. Times 2X. Both my wife's 6S (purchased last year) and my 8 (purchased last week) both do the same thing. Once it reaches a full charge, it bings, and lights up the lock screen displaying a 100% charge bar. Leaving it on the charger (as who wouldn't during the evening?), it will repeat this approximately every 10 minutes.

It does it on a number of wired chargers (both Apple and quality third party - no cheap Chinese junk chargers or cables). Both phones are on 11.3.1, and it did it on earlier versions of 11.x. However, my iPhone 7 had never done this, and of course, it was never on iOS 11.

It is hard to believe that this is a hardware issue, and not software. That this thread is now up to 11 pages shows that there *are* a number of people that this is annoying.

I've seen it many times where a software issue affects one person and not 100 others, all running the same software. There are lots of other factors to consider, especially when looking for something like this. What apps are being used, what settings are used, what combination of hardware is involved etc etc. To blithely dismiss software as a possible issue is to not understand the nature of software.

A hardware issue would imply one of the following: The hardware is improperly designed; the hardware was improperly manufactured, or that some damage has taken place since the device was manufactured.

Software is designed so that the hardware behave in the manner desired. The iOS needs to do this across all models of hardware it is designed to operate, and in tandem with all software correctly written to meet that iOS specification.

What I am observing is it happening on two different models of iPhone (6S and 8) as they are brand new out of the box. Happens with the supplied Apple chargers and cables. My phone has many apps, but my wife's has next to no 3rd party apps. Both phones are in nearly new condition today.

The behavior of repeatedly notifying that the phone is charged is not correct. It should do so once, until a new charging cycle is started. The design of this particular code is likely incorrect, most likely using the wrong signal to determine the cycle has started again.

Actually it should make no sound at all when it reaches 100%. But this can also be a problem with the battery, the power control chip, and as you say 3rd party software. But Apple's programmers cannot correct anything unless they are aware of it. Contact AppleCare and provide them as much detail as you can.

Let me restate something that has been said several times. iOS devices do not beep at full charge. Never. Period. The only beep when first connected to a charger, or when the charger stops, then restarts.

I have had 9 iOS devices in the past 10 years. I change my iOS devices overnight, every night. Four at a time (including my wife's). so that's about 14,000 charge cycles. And none of them has ever beeped when they reach full charge.

Hi all. I apologize if this seems simplistic. I was also experiencing this very annoying problem. I shut my phone down completely, waited a few minutes and then turned it on again. The behavior has stopped. Consider trying this if you haven’t already.

I am also having this issue with the iPhone 8.

I have tried a generic charger and the official one that came with the unit and two different wireless charging pads.

The cable is connected directly to a USB port on the socket, I have tried with the Apple USB adapter plug also.

Every morning at daft o’clock I get vibrations from my phone that only stop when I unplug the charger cable........ after being rudely awakened.

My 6 didn’t have the issue, my iPad doesn’t have the issue, and nobody else who I know who owns an iPhone has the same issue.

I’m just glad there’s a forum thread to raise the awareness and hopefully resolve the issue.

There is no "awareness" to raise. There's something wrong with your phone. We can help you figure it out but, you'll need to do most of the work. What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked the charging port for debris? Have you tried a different cable? Have you restored your phone from a back up? Have you restored it to factory state?

We have 6 (4 active and 2 non active, from iPhone 4 to 8), and my phone is the only one that ding-ding-ding all night long when fully charged regardless of the charger. I’ve tried cleaning the phone and the charger, and tried charging with different charger but my phone still beeps when it reaches 100% constantly and just as another user, I have to get up in the middle of the night to unplug it. I’m certain it’s the phone...it’s 6/2018 and I have the latest upgrade, what is going on...

The iPhone does not have a tone when the battery is full. If you are experiencing a tone on your phone you don't recognize, then make a Genius Bar appointment and have the device checked. Something is either wrong with the phone, your have a notification that you are not aware of, or there is a problem with the cable. You can check one of the other cables you use with the other phones that don't have a tone. If that doesn't work, then the Genius Bar is what you need, since the iPhone does not have a full battery tone.
