Hi all, after some info if possible. It's not a major problem I have, only just noticed it after 4 months.
I'm running CM6.1.3 and CWM, which work brilliantly. The problem I have come across is not being able to charge the phone once I have turned it off without it starting up and going into CWM. Now this isn't a huge problem as I very rarely turn the phone off, but I wanted to charge the battery last night with it off after getting a full charge when on but can't as once it goes into CWM it will stop charging.
Anyone got any ideas how I stop it going into the recovery when I plug it in?
Cheers

It's the CWM.

Do you know how to stop it from happening??

No . Several people reported this, but no solution found so far (as far as I know).

Re-enable fastboot I would assume.

There is no option for fastboot in CM as far as I can see. If its a common problem with no solution then I will wait, like I said it isn't a huge problem, just wondering if it was an easy fix I hadn't seen.
Cheers everyone for the replies.

Nothing you can do unfortunately. I'm sure there will be a work around eventually.
There is only one work around for now. Remove ClockworkMod Recovery.
Your DHD when stock, and switched off, would power up into a state of HTC Recovery just to display the little orange or green charging LED, when connected to a charger.
Now since we all replaced HTC Recovery with that of ClockworkMod Recovery, plugging in the charger will start ClockworkMod Recovery.
Sadly there is nothing else we can do.
still no solutions???
Reflash back to the stock recovery.
If I flash the stock recovery and then flash cwm latest 2.x for Desire HD, will it solve the problem?
My problem starts when I have the charger plug in and use ROM manager to reboot into recovery to wipe the batt stats, before that, it was ok.
This is a good thing if you ever encounter bootloops. You just connect to charger and reflash everything. I consider this a feature

not a good feature for me though ...
my initial intention is to recalibrate my battery.
i'm having trouble draining my battery yesterday before this happening
today, i'm having problem stopping the drain.
i charge till green led and the moment i wipe battery stats and boot up, it's 99%.
and it's going down 1% everytime i check it
and i can't turn off the phone to charge now.

Booting your DHD requires more power than the charger supplies, ergo if you boot up the battery is never going to be at 100%. The fact that CWM comes on when the phone is turned off and plugged in is irrelevant, the reason you charge with it turned off is to ensure it is 100% charged before you wipe battery stats, as the phone charges in cwm just charge to 100% then use the option to wipe battery stats. For those cynics who don't believe that the phone charges in cwm get QtADB and you can monitor the phone stats in cwm and watch it charge, simples!

I'm not sure why, it won't even charge when the phone is completely off, instead it simply keeps blinking the orange led.
I do use SBC, but I have never had a problem before, nor do I leave the phone charging overnight very often.
I managed to get the phone to boot once, but it kept reading '0' despite it being plugged in, and despite it having charged for over 30 minutes, then it died shortly after.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? I tried to boot into recovery and wipe battery stats with clockwork just incase, but it simply said 'Battery low!' in the hboot screen and would not let me boot into recovery.
Hey I had a similar problem my battery wouldn't charge if it had completely died. My solution was to charge the battery using another phone once its charged enough to turn on it should work fine. At least it did for me
Good Luck

So I seem to have a problem with my Epic Touch. (Caution: Semi-lengthy explanation ahead).
First of all, I am running the stock ROM with the ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel v6.02.
Last night I happened to let my phone die all the way, and i plugged it into the wall charger this morning. Everything seemed to go normal at first, the red indicator light and battery charging icon came on. However, after letting it charge awhile (10 - 15 minutes) I came back to see how much it had charged, only to find that when i pressed the power button nothing happened (it didn't wake the screen as it normally would).
So, I tried to long press the power button to see if the device would turn on, and it didn't. I disconnected the phone from the charger, did a battery pull, and reconnected the phone to the charger, and the device did the same thing it did, when I initially connected it to the charger.
I tried using my old charger for my Samsung Captivate, and the Epic Touch is still doing the same thing. At this point, I'm not sure what else to do. I am able to access CW Recovery mode, but not Download Mode (Error message saying battery too low to enter Download mode). Right now, I have the phone in Recovery Mode, to see if the battery will charge that way. Would wiping the battery stats help?
Somebody PLEEEEAAAASE tell me that there's a fix for this, and hopefully it doesn't involve going to the sprint store.
if you can get to cwm then try flashing another kernel from a zip and see if that helps.
just be sure to leave it plugged in while flashing so it doesn't die
I had that happen with zedomax 6.2 as well. Kind of. It wouldn't take a charge at all this morning. I have the no moar power app and it stays at 0%. It was at around 40% last night when I plugged it in. had to flash lost .8 to get the power going. It must be something with the undervolt? I've used other zedomax kernels with no problem.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll try a different kernel and see if that helps. I found by entering CWM Recovery and letting it charge for awhile, then selecting 'reboot' did the trick in getting it to boot. Im coming from using the Samsung captivate, so things work similar but the ET4G is still kinda new to me.
What kernel/ROM would you guys suggest? I am a big fan of CM7 and I really hope we get a build soon.
Battery charge indicator 2.3.5 upgrade problem
Hello everyone.This is my first time come to xda-developers form.I'm from china.
Yesterday I update my wildfire S(China mainland Edition)to 2.3.5+Sense3.0 lockscreen(Taiwan Edition)'s ROM.
I charge my bbttery yesterday evening.I turn off my phone.
When charge compalate.I found that the LED light didn't change green.It was still orange.
Why?How to solve it?
PS:Maybe my post have some Grammar problem。I hope that you can Bear with it.
Try factory reset see if it helps.
Backup important information and personal stuff first.
Just try the procedure of taking the battery out, sim card, micro sd etc etc and see if that works...
are you using the stock battery?
i used to notice with my (so called) extended battery 2430mah Gold battery, the software would say it was 100% charge, but it stayed orange for around another hour or two, then eventually turned green...i assume this is because the phone software had misjudged the charge level...so although it THOUGHT it was 100% full, it was actually still charging?
so if you have changed the battery at all, leave it charging for a bit longer (only an hour or so) and see if it goes out?
should be safe, as the batteries themselves usually have an auto shut off safety to stop them from being over-charged.
I get the exact same on ALL custom ROMs, never on Stock though, would love a fix!

Since I unlocked my phone's bootloader, rooted and installed custom recovery I have the same problem too.
If I charge the battery with the phone turned on, the led turns green at 100% and everything is fine.
If I charge the battery with the phone off, the led stays orange forever even when I disconnect the charger. Then I have to remove the battery and insert it again so that the led turns off. If I wait enough time charging the battery reaches 100%.
This is a strange sympton that only started with the rooting/recovery flashing process.
Oh and BTW the way, I use stock battery but now I'm waiting for the arrival of two batteries I ordered on eBay.
One is a Li-Ion 1500 mAh and the other a Li-Polymer 2430 mAh.
Will see if the same happens when they arrive but I'm almost 100% sure this has something to do with the bootloader unlocking process.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it.

I for example left my phone charging for 8 hours (during the night) beyond the normal charge time. And the worst is that I have to remove the battery in order to turn off the orange led and be able to turn on my phone...

Same as, pain in the arse!
Great news! At least on my phone this problem is gone.
You wonder how? Simply by updating recovery to v5.0.2.8 from ROM Manager.
I almost didn't notice it it but a few hours ago I plugged my phone to the charger while still on. After finishing my work I turned it off (no fastboot).
In the meanwhile I needed to use my phone far from the wall plug and disconnected the usb charger cable.
My gesture was to immediately remove back cover to remove the battery but fortunately I noticed the orange led went off.
So I decided to plug it again and wait for the charge to complete and for the green led. It did!
So run to the Market, download ROM Manager and let it update your recovery to the latest version.
I hope this annoying pest won't bother you no more.

thanks, i will definitely try this, ive been having a hard time looking on ways how to solve this problem.. also can i now do battery calibration steps after that?
cause im having battery drain issue on my WFS after flashing of ROM, im not getting 4.219V my only maximum was 4.196V. And yesterday i tried charging my phone in OFF state for 7.5hours and when i open it 100% at 4.077V, and now 87% just after 15mins of use..

Not what the problem was or related to, it was an outdated ROM manager app that caused it...
Problem started after restoring a nandroid backup. Kept the phone for charging overnight next day it was dead.
The Problem:
1) Phone does not charge fully through USB/Wall Charger tried all types of cables official/aftermarket.
2) The Red LED keeps blinking then becomes stable for sometime then shuts off. Then again need to plug out and plugin the charger again the same cycle continues.
3) When the Red LED becomes stable can boot the phone in OS/Boot-loader/Recovery (5.8.4.0) but it switches of automatically after sometime. In OS the battery seems to be stuck at 2% and does not charge beyond that.
4)Even tried to charge it using Fast-boot method using the script. But the voltage seems to gradually decrease instead of increasing and the device switches off again.
5)Have tried to recalibrate the battery by VOL UP+ VOL Down+ Power and even wiped batterystats through recovery.
Please help me troubleshoot the problem.

simply change the boot loader. similar stuff happened to me when i was in CM. change boot loader and dont open it. charge it with wall charger and then go into recovery then flash a new rom. i don't recommend nandroid backups. use google's backup.

How do change bootloader ?, its not able to flash anything through fastboot as the charge is too low.
sorry wrote wrong i meant change kernel. the only thing you can do is shut off the phone then wait for it to charge. then go to fast boot and flash a new or stock kernel.

OK now it seems that the phone can charge through USB port only charged till 100% green light came on. But stops charging after a while when connected to a Wall charger and starts discharging.
I Have tried to charge it with original wall charger, another one from the HTC Desire Z charger and tried various usb cables too. But none of the wall chargers work with it.
This seems very weird

Hi, I have just bought an unrooted Wildfire to root and play about with.
However the phone has a weird battery problem
The battery never fully charges - the battery icon only shows amber and quickly goes to red and says only 1-2% left, BUT, the battery is fully charged and the phone will run all day long without problems.
Question - It looks like whatever measures the battery has got it wrong somehow - can this be reset?
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Go into recovery, wipe cache/dalvic cache and battery stat.
It should fix this bug.If not, flash custom rom, like buzz-fire or reincarnation v3.0.

The Wildfire I have is not rooted and had android 2.2.1, Hboot 1.01.0002, with s-on.
I have looked at various threads and getting it into recovery will be a challenge!
Are there any threads/procedures you would recommend?
Unfortunately there's no real solution for this issue. Various people faced this issue.
I face this too, but I have a silly workaround for this. Charge the phone, when you feel it's completely charged, just turn it off, now connect it to charger while it's off. now turn the phone on with charger being connected, it should show full battery. Hope this helps.
