How to make talking charging on Android smartphones Honor: 5 working methods

Voice notifications about battery charging are a useful feature that helps you not miss the moment the battery is fully charged or warn you about connecting to the network. On smartphones Honor (especially on models with EMUI/Magic UI) this option is not always available out of the box, but it can be implemented in several ways: through system settings, third-party applications or even automation using Tasker. In this article, we will analyze all the current methods - from the simplest to the advanced, taking into account the features of the firmware Honor.

Many users are faced with a problem: the phone remains connected to charging all night, which reduces battery life. Voice notification of reaching 100% or disconnection from the network solves this problem. In addition, the function is useful for people with visual impairments or those who often forget to turn off the charger. It is important to understand that not all methods are equally reliable - some applications can drain the battery in the background, and system solutions do not work on all models.

1. Built-in EMUI/Magic UI capabilities: where to look for voice notifications

Firmware Honor based on EMUI (up to section with Huawei) and Magic UI (new models) have limited settings for voice notifications. However, some versions of the software have hidden functions that can be activated through the accessibility menu or system sounds.

The first thing to check is the section Settings → Accessibility → Notifications. There may be an option "Voice prompts" or "Speaking notifications". If it is not there, try an alternative path:

• 📱 Go to Settings → Sound → Additional settings.
• 🔊 Scroll down and find the item "Voice system events" (not available on all models).
• 🔄 If the option is there, turn it on it and select events related to charging (for example, "Charger connected" or "Charging complete").

On models Honor 8X, Honor 10 and older versions EMUI 9.0 sometimes a workaround works through the settings Security and privacy → System notifications. Here you can enable voiceover for system notifications, but this will force the phone to read out all notifications, which is not always convenient.

⚠️ Attention: Built-in voice notifications in Magic UI 7.0+ (for example, on Honor 90 or Honor Magic5) are often disabled by default due to energy saving policies. If you do not find the necessary items in the menu, go to. third-party solutions.

2. Applications for voice notifications: TOP 5 proven options

If the system settings do not help, the best option is to install a specialized application. We tested more than 10 apps and selected those that work stably on Honor without conflicts with Magic UI.

Application	Features	Cons	Compatibility
Battery Charge Alert	Simple interface, setting charge thresholds (for example, 80% or 100%), choosing a voice package.	Advertising in the free version, sometimes triggers with a delay.	EMUI 5.0–Magic UI 7.1
Say My Battery Level	Speaks out the percentage of charge when connecting/disconnecting charging, supports voice customization.	Requires permission to access notifications.	Android 8.0+
MacroDroid	Allows you to create a macro with a voice notification when a specified level is reached charge.	Complex interface for beginners.	All Honor models
Automate	Advanced automation with the ability to configure triggers by charge and time.	High battery consumption with active streams.	Android 6.0+
Google Assistant Routines	Integration with voice assistant for creating routines with alerts.	Limited functionality without additional plugins.	Magic UI 4.0+

For most users, the optimal choice would be Battery Charge Alert or Say My Battery Level. These applications do not require root access and work in the background without significant battery consumption. Install one of them. via AppGallery or Google Play, then:

Download and install the application|Open and grant access to notifications|Select the charge threshold (for example, 100%)|Activate the "Voice Alert" option|Customize the text and voice (male/female)-->

If the application does not sound notifications, check the permissions in Settings → Applications → Battery Charge Alert → Notifications and enable the option "Show notifications".

3. Automation through Tasker: for advanced users

Tasker - a powerful tool for automating actions on Android that allows you to create customized voice notifications about charging. This method is suitable for those who are willing to spend time on customization, but want flexibility (for example, different voices for 80% and 100% or notifications by phone). schedule).

First, install Tasker from Google Play (or AppGallery, if you have a model without Google services. Then follow the instructions:

1. Create a new profile (+ → Status → Power → Battery level).
2. Specify the range (for example, From 99% to 100%).
3. Add a task (New task → Multimedia → Say).
4. In the text field, enter a phrase (for example, "Charging is complete. Disconnect the cable!").
5. Select the voice engine (recommended Google TTS).
6. Save the profile and activate it.

For more complex scenarios, you can add time conditions (for example, voice only at night) or check the charging type (fast/regular). Example code for Taskerthat announces the status every 10 minutes when charging:

Profile: Battery Charge Alert (Event)
Event: Battery Changed [ Level Multiple:90,95,100 ]
Enter: Charge Notification
A1: Say [
Text: "Charge level: %batt. Connected: %USBPLUGGED"
Engine: Voice: default:default
Stream: 3 ]

⚠️ Attention: On Honor s Magic UI 6.0+ Tasker may require additional permissions in manual mode. Go to Settings → Applications → Tasker → Additional permissions and enable "Changing system settings" i "Display on top of other windows".

4. Google Voice Assistant: an alternative method without third-party applications

If your Honor Google services are installed (even on models with Magic UI like Honor 50 or Honor X9), you can use Google Assistant to create routines with voice alerts. This method does not require the installation of additional software, but has limitations in flexibility.

Setup instructions:

• 🎤 Open Google Assistant (press the button Home or say "Okay, Google").
• 📋 Go to Settings → Routines.
• 🔄 Click "Create a routine" and add a command (for example, "Charging connected").
• 🔊 In the section "Actions" select "Play text" and enter a phrase (for example, "The phone is connected to charging. Current charge: [battery level]%").
• 📱 In the section "Triggers" add condition "Connecting the charger".

Unfortunately, Google Assistant cannot track the charge percentage in real time, so to notify about 100% you will have to use a combination with Battery Charge Alert or MacroDroid.

5. Problems and solutions: why talking charging does not work

Even after proper configuration, voice alerts may not work. Let's look at typical causes and ways to eliminate them on smartphones Honor:

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The application does not sound notifications	There is no access to notifications or microphone	Check permissions in Settings → Applications → [Application name] → Permissions
Voice is interrupted or not heard	Conflict with other audio streams (music, games)	Disable other applications that use the speaker, or adjust the priority in Tasker
Alerts are triggered with a delay	Optimizing the battery for background processes	Add the application to exceptions: Settings → Battery → Launch applications → [Application] → No restrictions
Tasker does not see the charge level	Restrictions Magic UI for third-party applications	Enable ADB permissions for Tasker (PC required)

On models Honor s Magic UI 5.0+ (for example, Honor 30 or Honor V40) background activity of applications can be blocked. To fix this:

1. Go to Settings → Battery → Launching applications.
2. Find your notification app (for example, Battery Charge Alert).
3. Select mode "Manually controlled" and turn on all switches.
4. In the section "Energy consumption" check "Do not limit".

If there is a problem is saved, try disable the "Smart Resolution" function in the battery settings —it often conflicts with background processes.

6. Alternative methods: SMS, calls and smart sockets

If software solutions are not suitable, consider hardware or hybrid options. For example, you can set up sending an SMS or a call to another phone when the 100% charge is reached. An application MacroDroid or Automate with a trigger based on the battery level and the action "Send SMS" is suitable for this. data-i="213">A more advanced method is to use.

A more advanced way is to use smart plug (for example, Xiaomi Mi Smart Plug or TP-Link Tapo) with integration via IFTTT or Google Home. The algorithm is as follows:

• 🔌 Connect the charger to the smart socket.
• 📱 Set up automation in the socket app: when the power goes off (for example, after 2 hours), send a push notification or turn on the voice assistant on the speaker.
• 🔊 Use Google Assistant to announce an event through a smart speaker (Nest Mini, JBL Link etc.).

This method is suitable for home use and allows you to fully automate the process, but requires additional equipment.

How to set up IFTTT for notifications about charging

1. Create an account in IFTTT and connect a smart socket service (for example, TP-Link Kasa).

2. Create an applet with a trigger "Device turned off".

3. Select "Google Assistant → Say a" as an action. simple phrase."

4. Enter the text to be read (for example, "The phone is charging complete. Unplug the cable from the outlet").

5. Save the applet and activate it.

7. Security and optimization: how not to harm the battery

Voice notifications about charging are a useful feature, but it is important to remember: Constantly charging to battery health. Constant charging up to 100% and staying in this state for a long time will reduce the life of lithium-ion batteries. Here are some tips for optimization:

• 🔋 Set an alert to 80–90% instead of 100% - this will extend the life of the battery.
• ⚡ Use original chargers Honor with support SuperCharge (if available).
• 🌡️ Avoid overheating: do not charge the phone in direct sunlight or on soft surfaces (for example, a bed).
• 🔄 Calibrate the battery regularly: once every 2-3 months, discharge the phone to 0% i charge up to 100% without interruptions.

On models Honor s Magic UI 4.0+ there is a built-in function "Smart charging"that automatically limits the charge to 80% at night. To activate it:

1. Go to Settings → Battery → Additional settings.
2. Find item "Smart charging" (or "Charging optimization").
3. Enable the function and set the schedule (for example, from 23:00 to 7:00).

⚠️ Attention: On some models Honor (for example, Honor 20 Pro or Honor View 20) function "Smart". charging" may conflict with third-party notification applications. If voice notifications stop working, disable it or set up exceptions.
