Phone off, charger in, goes into recovery??

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!

[Q] Battery draining after powering down

Hello All
Im powering down my phone at night (quick boot enabled) & when i wake up in the morning the battery is completely drained. There is normally at least half a charge left before i power down.
This has only just happened the past few days. The phone is around 2 months old.
Any ideas ? Has my battery become faulty ? Should i return the phone ?
Thanks.

Sounds like a hardware fault probably the battery. How did you charge the phone normally?
Try taking the battery out, see if it loses charge after same amount of time.

I agree with sengork.
Powerdown should use only a few microamps.

How i charge my phone varies - sometimes i will charge via the mains with either the phone still on or off at night, sometimes with the phone on via usb. I've never had a problem with regards to charging the battery.
I always turn the phone off at night (with quick boot enabled as i said) but the past 2 days, with the battery at least half full, the battery has completely drained by the morning.

Hi,
Try with and without fast boot and see if you yield any different results, I would tend to leave fast boot off if your leaving it off for a prolonged amount of time as the phone doesn't completely shut down.
Also there could be an app draining it too, so u could get autostarts and kill any unwanted apps from starting up when certain criteria are met, like when you switch your screen off, some apps are activated, i know kakao chat does that, even if it doesn't help the prob it's still a good app to have to kill apps from starting when you don't want them.
Let us know how u get on.
PS: Are you using an overvolted kernel ? Maybe knock it down to stock to see if that helps, just to test and then knock it back up when you know what the problem is.

This happened to me on my old phone. Turned out to be a problem with a torn USB cable

Well, took the battery out last night before bed with half power remaining & this morning...re inserted battery & no change at all - so i guess the battery is not faulty.
I am planning on turning off fast boot tonight, powering down the phone & see'ing what sort of state the battery is in tomorrow morning.
Thanks all for the replies so far.

I was having almost the exact same problem. Phone seemed to drain about 30 - 40 % overnight ( with phone off - fastboot on ).
Anyway I turned off Fastboot and switched off the phone and went to bed last night with about 20% battery and woke up this morning and still had 20%.
I'm not sure how Fastboot is supposed to work but turning it off seems to have solved the problem. It's not really a big loss anyway.
Thanks.

Interesting thread.
What are the benefits of fastboot anyway?
I never had it on my Hero and haven't tired it on my DHD as I've been too busy flashing ROMs since I got it!

Where can I switch of fast boot? I'm on stock rom 1.72. Searched my phone but no luck in finding it...

Other than stating the obvious ( i.e. the phone boots faster ) I don't think there is any other advantage. I think it is sort of similar to putting your computer ( if you are using Windows ) into Hibernate rather than shutting down completely.
Anyway there obviously was some sort of conflict with another app as a friend ( and many other users I'm sure ) with a Desire HD uses Fastboot without any overnight battery drain. Anyway I can live without it ( didn't have it on my last phone - a Motorola Milestone ).
It is odd that the battery drained more when the phone was off overnight than it would have done being left on overnight ( just with the screen off doing nothing ).
Anyway as I said - no big deal - and I certainly can't be bothered to uninstall each app one by one until I find the one responsable.
Cheers.

Haha, yeah a faster boot time was the obvious one but I was wondering if that was all.
I have it unticked anyway, and very rarely ever turn my phone off.
Anyway, I hope you manage to fix your problem

Thanks - as I said above turning off Fastboot seems to have fixed the issue for me. I'm too lazy (!) to find out what about leaving Fastboot on caused the battery drain but as it is a feature I can live without I'll just live with the mystery!!
Cheers.

Battery % needed to flash with fastboot?

My one x still showing that the battery is too low, i dont know HOW MUCH IS LOW!
Thanks for any help!

I don't know the exact amount but why are you even trying to do with a low battery? It is never a good idea to reflash anything with a low battery. The number of posts in this forum about people who tried to reflash with basically no battery show that there is an issue with charging in recovery. You need to mess around with it to get it to work properly again and all because they couldn't wait for the battery to charge first.
Charge it to 100% and save yourself the hassle.

I think about it, can some DEV GUY disable that restriction from the FASTBOOT APP (desktop fastboot) ???

Has anybody tried 2 amps charger? They are on eBay and cheap, they include those with tablets usually. I wonder if more power will trigger the phone to start charging. Maybe some stupid treshold is a little bit too high and that's why it's not recognising a charger.
It's safe, no nothing to loose.

This is not a possible solution, because the HOX never is POWER OFF, its only suspended and this access to charge when it is in suspended mode (or in recovery mode).
This is not possible with the OFFICIAL CWM.

And we can not flash other CWM or other things because or batterie is to low!
We need a modded fastboot or something

The battery needed its the same as a RUU, 30%.
Thanks to all.

Someone please kindly post detailed steps on how to fix this issue. I'm stuck in a bootloop for cyanogenmod. My battery is dead, and I can't use fastboot to flash stock recovery (or do anything since everything relies on fastboot, which requires you to charge the battery. But when I charge, I get a bootloop)

If you have rooted your phone is it ok to let the battery drop to 0% ?

Not exactly sure what rooting has to do with whether 0% battery is allowed or not. But I had tried cyanogenmod9, and i got stuck in a boot loop. There is a nice animation screen (boot screen), and I thought that it just took a long time. Well, being late at night, I feel asleep. And in the morning, the boot screen was still on. My battery was now near dead. So when I tried to flash some new ROMs, I could not b/c fastboot checks your battery %. If it's too low, then you're forbidden.
To make matters worse, I could not turn the phone off during this loop. Plug the phone in, and as soon as there is enough charge, the phone turns on again and goes through the loop.
So goal #1 is to get the battery charge past 30% so that you can start over. I ended up using fastboot erase cache and I got out of the bootloop. Phone is now charging.

[Q] HTC One X won't turn on at all

Hello, I asked this question yesterday and fixed it but it appears to have gotten worse.
Pretty much my phone turned off randomly last night and now all I get is a red flashing light, I'm on Cyanogenmod 10. I managed to turn my phone on once and it turned off again, I think it may be stuck on 2% battery or something. I also did the plug into pc then switch to mains and left it to charge but nothing happened, I'm trying to go back to stock ROM too and completely format my phone and start again.
Can someone help me with this? I can't turn my phone on enough to get it into USB mode so I can change the stuff around and I think it may actually be broken, I have no idea how to fix it.

Leave it charging for a couple of hours.

I think it may actually be down to having to change power cable as I lost my original HTC One X the other day, its probably not charging fast enough

I had it happen just now for the first time, the battery monitor indicated 89% so it didn't need charging, and plugging it in didn't turn on the amber LED. I held down the power button for a good 30 seconds and a few seconds later it started up.
How odd and I hope it doesn't happen again, considering I just switched from the lemon problem ridden LG Optimus LTE (Nitro HD).

[Q] Unusual battery problem

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.

Thanks for this info!
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.
