About Safe Charge
The "Donate" option will not affect the functionality of the application. It will work as it has regardless of your choice to donate or not. This application was made to help people with problematic devices and it's functionality will always be FREE!
That being said, I'll be grateful for the happy users that choose to express their satisfaction with my work by donating.
Please open the application once you install/update to configure it. The option to remove the notification icon (4.1 and above) will not remove the notification itself. It will still be present in the drawer, just the icon in the status bar should be hidden.
If your Nexus (or any other Android device) suffers from sleep of death, in other words dying while connected to the charger, then this is the app for you! Just install, start, configure the application and you are safe from missing any alarms while charging overnight.
It is recommended to leave the automatic mode switched on, because in this way the app will start when connected to external power and stop on disconnect and won't consume any battery. You can use the manual mode to ensure your device won't go to sleep even if the screen goes off in case you are streaming a movie to your HDTV or running background tasks.
Completely free (also no ads are included)!
The donation option does not affect the functionality of the application in any way!
IMPORTANT!
If you have force stopped the application, the system unregisters the broadcast receiver and the service cannot be started automatically when the charger is connected. You have to open the application manually so the broadcast receivers are registered again. Please check if there is a notification for the ongoing service in order to be sure that the app is running
Permissions explained:
BILLING - process donations through Play Store payment system.
WAKE_LOCK - prevent device from sleeping while charging.
BATTERY_STATS - check the current battery state.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - receive the "boot completed" message, so the application can check if the power is connected on boot and start if neccessary

Samsung J1 was given to me by my sister. it goes to sleep of death frequently. Tried resetting and all but didnt work. I tried Sod killer but that tok didnt fix the prob. I found this on one of the replies of Sod killer's author and it worked for me I didnt notice any significant loss on battery' life. Worth donating to the app. Thank youuu

I installed this on my phone after my phone kept dying on me overnight on charge. This was two years ago and i've never been without it since. This app works brilliantly, i'm not entirely sure how it works but it does. Would recommend it to anyone :) thank you.

It doesn't work for me. It is missing customizable battery charge level alarm. The alarm goes off only once and sounds like notification for incoming SMS - easy to miss.

Had a problem on my Samsung phone which people refer to as sudden death syndrome (SDS) but found a multitude of symptoms but not quite exact. The phone would appear to work as normal, then go to sleep as normal but would not always wake up when required - it seemed to have gone into a COMA. it would restart on pressing and holding the power button or reinserting the battery. Initially thought it might be a battery problem (as it was over 3 yrs old) but no. This app has sorted out the problem brilliant

I would give 10 stars if I could. So it's been 2+ weeks since I first downloaded it. At first I had it on "Automatic on charge connect", I got a sleep of death later on that day. Then I switched to "Manual" and "Start Safe Charge, Running" so it is constantly on. I haven't had a Sleep Of Death since then. This app is a life saver. It doesn't waste any excessive battery % either. It was so frustrating for 1 week of getting a Nexus 4 to have to deal with it crashing every day, problem solved! Thanks again!

This app is truly a lifesaver... So simple a work around. Since I've had this installed (the past week) my N4 hasn't experienced it's sleeps of death at all. Normally the screen would stay off when hitting the power button after leaving it on charge all night - NO LONGER! This means we can push the problem to the back of our minds and await the time that Google decides to truly fix whatever software issue is causing it.
