1. When I power my device down and connect the charger ClockWorkMod Recovery pops up, Why is that? Is there a way to turn that feature off so my device is completely turned off while charging???
2. Is it safe to charge in recovery? To leave the fone idle for a number of hours can't be safe especially with the words and icons being displayed don't want those images burned into my screen. . .
3. After powering down at 99% I let my battery charge for a bit and not even a hour later I see the fone rebooted itself and I'm back at my home screen with the battery saying 'charged' is that normal???
Thanks in advance
1. It's a bug. 4EXT Touch Does address this, as well as a plethora of bugs from CWM.
2. Yes - I had also experienced the above bug when I was using CWM. I put my phone to charge, then slept. Next morning, the phone was idling on recovery. But I still strongly suggest you use 4EXT, as it is faster and safer.
3. Never heard of this...Ideally the led will turn green, but the phone won't turn on by itself.

I'm using a new 1520mah battery from the EVO 4G Design maybe that's why the device rebooted? not too long before this I left the phone charging for say 4 to 6 hrs and the led never turned green it stayed at orange.
When I rebooted the battery info said 'charged'
Highly unlikely. My guess is it's another issue with CWM. For all we know it could be a random tap of the power button, after all that's all it takes to power it up.

Charging my DZ almost every night and never had this issue.
You should consider using 4ext instead of CWM.
Older version of cwm had that problem, but was fixed a long time ago

The issues still present, I'm using the latest version of cwm.
For me, i always charge my phone only when it runs out. When i plug my charger in, it boots to recovery, but if i leave it for a while, it just shuts off. It seems that CWM doesn't stay on when my phone is on low battery or something.

Charge when it reaches 10 - 5% then tap the power button as soon as you see the recovery menu pop up, it'll bring up a screensaver that should stop it from shutting off.
Don't know why anyone would day 4EXT is "safer", though I'm happy to be educated.
If you leave it for a minute in that state with CWM started, the screen will turn off again so it's no problem, just a slightly irritating bug.

Well, from experience with CWM5 I had a lot of issues with backups. Either MD5 checks would fail or booting after restore would have me stuck at the htc screen. So from that aspect of view, 4EXT is somewhat safer. On second thought, reliable would be a more fitting attribute. Just my 2 cents.

Hi,
Yesterday I came across strange issue. In WinMo, when the phone was off it was charging normally untill the battery was fully charged...
After Flashing Android to NAND I can not do that. It seems to be charging (orange LED is on) for about 10 sec. and than the Display blinks with white light and the phone dies completely.
The only thing you can do after that is to pull out the battery and put it back. Than you can turn the phone on and charge as usually.
What is that issues origin? Battery driver? Or another thingie in Firmware? It seems to be quite strange, that it lights the display even with the phone being off...

My Kaiser does the exact same thing, and what it is, is for some reason the phone is booting back up. I came across this the other day, and my phone did the exact same thing described, and not sure what I did, but I managed to turn on the screen and Android was booted up to the lock screen.
It's even done it when I plug the phone into A/C power without the battery even connected.
so here is why it happens, basicly what would happen is in WinMo when the phone would turn off and boot into a charge loop and it would charge and shut off when finished our kernel doesnt have this built into it so it just boots like normal when power is applied

yup... happens to all of us, its not a big deal... there are a lot of worse problems devs are trying to solve... maybe whn they reach a point where the kernel is more stable they should pay attention to the details like this (and the camera driver, camcoder... etc)

Well that answers my question... Yah knew it was something inside the kernel, just didn't know if it was a bug, or something that wasn't implemented yet.
Of course this is low priority task but I just wanted to have that confirmed to know, that my oldie holdie is not broken or what
Quick question:
How old is your kaiser and/or battery ?
About 5 years with original battery

It used to be that if Linux NBH was flashed, the phone wouldn't charge at all when off. Then somebody (dzo I believe) added code to the kernel so that the phone turns on when it is plugged in, so that it will charge. That used to work, with a full complete boot. Now, as you say, the phone tries to wake up but doesn't really make it. Maybe we should look into that, we should be able to fix that, maybe by looking carefully at the git logs for the past six months or so.
There are bigger problems, like data reliability, but if somebody wants a problem in the kernel that they can study and perhaps fix, this is a good one to start with.
To correctly charge the battery system need to be on so i can do this:
start kernel
in initrd:
if it found the power connected then the phone wait for power button (trying the sleep mode)
else
start the system
i need some testing to do it.
Windows do quite the same thing.

If only the real code was as easy as the pseudocode =)
The other morning I woke up and unplugged my phone and the "Unplug your phone" notification wouldn't go away and the phone thought it was still plugged in. If I rebooted it would just turn off and keep going from the green batter charging icon to a black screen and back. Only way I could turn the phone on would be to actually plug it in again. Problem fixed itself that evening and the phone was fine for a couple days. Today the phone started with the same thing.
I've tried searching but couldn't find anything on this specific issue. Any insight? Thanks in advance.
Brand new ept4g and I got 6hrs of battery life its so lame I have hack so much bad luck with this bad boy but I'm not giving up.

I'm having the same problems the last few days. Also when I unplug my phone I get a red exclamation point over my battery widget, when i open the widget it says that the battery is over voltage and the red led light won't go off. Think i'm about to go see what best buy does for me. Been dealing w/ this problem for a few days now.
Did you get a replacement? I haven't had any free time to go to sprint with my problem. It is still happening often though.
I had a similar issue the other morning. Though my phone would only boot back up in recovery mode. I reflashed it to out of the box stock but that didn't make any difference. When it did boot up it would show that it was connected to the usb port but it would not be plugged into anything. I plugged it into a usb port on my computer that I hadn't used with the phone before and it reloaded the drivers on my computer and "that" issue went away. After turning phone off it would start rebooting itself immediately or with in a few seconds of turning off. I let the battery die completely and then recharged it and the automatic reboot went away, at least for most of the day, but last night I turned the phone back off and it rebooted itself. I did reroot and restore my phone after I got it to not show the usb connected or the battery charging while the phone was off icon. Just wish I could figure out why it wants to automatically reboot itself when I shut it off.

I figured a way to shut the phone off and not have it automatically reboot. If after shutting the phone off the normal way and once the screen goes black but before the capacitive lights go out, if I again press the power button, the phone finally shuts down without rebooting itself. Not sure why this is happening but at least I can get it to turn off now.
I found better battery life by determining which app or apps drain the battery. I used Battert spy, cpu spy and system tuner. My problem was Touchdown exchange for Androir 2.x. I switched to Moxier Mail. I would get hours on moderate to heavy use. I got 22.5 hours yesterday on moderate use.
After using odin to go back to ec05 and returning to srf 1.2, everything was pretty stable and I am pretty happy with the result. Today I had something strange happen, I booted up voltage controll and it said it was asking for super user rights like it always does except it was just hanging there thinking. Also my albums in my picture gallery would not load. So I held the power button down and chose the reboot button not the turn off. When it booted back up my battery said it only had 5% left, before reboot I had 35%. So what the heck, why would it do that.
First, did u update super user in market, and then go into super user app and update the binary?

Its an improper display if you boot into cwm and wipe battery stats it would have showed the proper battery also next time you charge your phone play with it once it reaches 100% and leave it on the charger for an extra 20-40 minutes and then you battery should be back to normal. Side note get off of froyo where no longer in the dark ages bud

It is a bug that has been reported hundreds of times. Plug into a charger and reboot back to where you were or leave battery out for 5 minutes and reboot. Wish people could search for this but know the search function is not great.

Yeah, but that is not the OPs issue. There is a bug in CWM and the battery stats that when you reboot below a certain percantage...let's say 70, it will incorrectly drop to a very low percentage. This is easily avoided by rebooting connected to a charger or can be resolved by removing the battery for a few minutes. It will go back to where it was. All the wiping and recalibrating in the world will not resolve this bug. It is just a glitch.
Is there a way to charge the phone while shutting it off? I used to do this before I rooted cuz it charges faster but I flashed ics now and when I shut it off and plug the power cable in the phone automatically turns on. When I turn it off with the charger connected the screen shuts off but keeps going back into recovery

I don't remember a single moment on DZ flashing history that enabled me to charge the battery while the phone was off. Something I was also expecting too. I don' t think it will happen since it might be a hardware level feature, could be wrong though.

Have you tried plugging it in and *then* turning it off?
CWM recovery has this bug, that when charging while off, it will automatically launch... just keep it this way for a minute, the screen will automatically turn off by itself... or flash 4EXT recovery (like i did)
So as title says my wifes battery died then once plugged up and left to charge phone wouldn't go past boot animation. she was running beastmod 5.0 and had been for Weeks without issue. It would boot as normal but as soon as the animation completed it went to a black screen, screen was lit up just black with darker black blotches. Has this been encountered b4? Any known cause?
Luckily I was able to get into recovery and restore a nandroid and it seems to be ok now, but I'd like to know wth happened .

Maybe the battery didn't charge. But the phone booted and did not turn on touch screen or any type of resource that controls touch input. This has happened to me, I ran out of battery, 0%, and then I plug it up, it turns on but it doesn't not turn on any touch input device. So, I had to wait until it had 5% of battery to boot it up. This is the only issue I've had close to that

Once it died it sat on the charger for about 4 hours and one I restored a nandroid it was at 78% charge. After the boot animation it was just a back lit blotchy black screen, no wallpaper, notification bar, icons or any remote sign if life

So, is this fixed or you still having issues? If it is not fixed, pull battery, unplug, let it sit for 2 mins and (clean contacts if needed on batt and phone) and put batt back in, plug it. Let it charge for good 4 - 5 hours (don't power on). Unplug it and power it up. see if that fixes it.
