[Q] phone won't stay off while charging

Ever since i flashed clockword recovery, i shut off the phone to charge it at night, but once i plug in the phone, it boots into recovery! Always. Maybe i messed up something in the process? What can i do to fix it?
I'm running on stock, rooted n s-offed

it is a known issue with CWM.

You didn't do anything wrong, nor is there anything messed up. This is a known issue with ClockWorkMod at the moment. There is a 'fixed' version (unofficial) floating around somewhere, but it's not ideal. Depending on why you're turning your phone off, there are a number of alternatives:
1. put your phone in airplane mode while charging - this turns off all the radios, so your phone will charge *MUCH* quicker than it would otherwise. You can, of course, turn the display off, if the light is bothering you
2. Simply put the phone in silent mode (and either put it face down or turn the display off) if you're doing this while you're asleep.
There's an explanation on the ClockworkMod thread, but it doesn't really matter - fact is, that's how it is (for now).

Thank you Orange Bandit. I shut off my phone only to feel better about it charging, not getting hot I suppose. I always got this feeling charging the phone while it's on isn't too healthy. I think I will try the airplane mode!

I don't turn my phone off ever, unless it's locked up or something. I do have an app that I got from the market called CT Scheduler that automatically reboots my phone at a specified time (I have it at 2am every morning, while i'm asleep). Aside from that, my phone is literally always on.
The phones nowadays are designed to be used all the time - charging it with the phone on won't hurt it, but it most definitely charges faster in airplane mode. Often, if my battery is low and I've got 15-20 minutes to drive somewhere, I'll put it on airplane mode to charge in the car, just to get a bit more juice.

Somebody did post in that thread with a fix to the recovery. I have had it for some time now and it works great.

Is the fix official? Or at least work as well as the original wit no hiccups?

hey folks, im coming over from the galaxy s section...besides not staying off to charge, are any other problems reported? for instance, we use a program called odin to flash without cwm. its a kind of fail-safe. but, i cant get my pc to recognize the phone....anything similar with your phones? not looking for help necessarily, just similar occurrences.

Hardware related or Software

so i guess ive been getting what you would call SOD's, only normally the only way to boot your phone is by pulling the battery ,well i can just hold the power button for an extended amount of time and it will reboot for a couple minutes and then shut down again ,after its through that cycle i can boot it normally with the power button, it happens when i plug the phone up and let it charge to 100% and if the phone isnt taken off the charge then it shuts down like this, its happened once on a call too and i wanna say the wi-fi was enabled every time ...i dont remember im running a test with the wi-fi off right now ,any how i would assume this would be hardware related since ive flashed every rom and it happens on all of them ....any thoughts? im planning on returning the device for another one ,just hesitant because i got one without any of the screen issues that some people are getting

It may be hardware related but it could also be an app that you are installing on each rom. Try a new rom and don't install anything for a few hours and see if it still happens.

SOD? whats that?

sleep of death

i think its related to the wi-fi being on while charging , just fully charged it and left the phone on the cord for an hour after charging and it never went off. ran it down to 90% and turned wi-fi back on and hooked it up to see if it does it again

that has happened to me with other phones, like Nexus S, I9000, Moto XT720
so it's definitely not hardware related AFAIK
the way i narrowed it down to has always been a ROM problem
after I flash clean up, or load a more stable ROM the Sleep Of Death goes away.
i had a lot of that with the recent "stable" CM 7.1 for Nexus S
flashed to a newer nightly unstable and it fixed the "stable" problem LOL

well i just got my new phone in yesterday and so far no random reboots or SOD's ,phone seems a little faster than my previous got 3700 quads stock unrooted and over 15megs download and almost 3 upload , i think i got a better device this time and im pretty sure it was a new one and not refurbished, im gonna run it stock for a couple days just to see if any problems re-occur, i was having them on my first phone before i rooted ,thats why i decided to root and install custom roms

S III sgh-i747 turned off and wont turn on URGENT

i apologize if this has been solved but i am on a very tight time frame as i need this phone for work and cant spend any longer searching. my phone randomly turned off by itself this morning and will not turn back on. it gets to the samsung splash screen and the screen just goes black and the phone wont do anything, its like the screen is stuck off, i have to take the battery out to make it turn do anything at all again. it was stock this morning, never been rooted or anything, i just rooted it about an hour ago and installed twrp and flashed jedi invasion 5 on it in hopes it would help. now it gets past the splash screen and to the initial setup screen but it only stays on it for about 3 seconds before the screen goes black again and i have to take the battery out for it to do anything again. im not an expert by any means but i have flashed note 2's and played with them a bit and know my way arround them for the most part. any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
almost forgot to mention, in download mode it says qualcomm secureboot: enable
not sure if that means anything but i didnt get any errors while flashing or anything
thanks everyone

I would make sure you have to correct drivers installed for the phone on your computer and ODIN back to stock. You can give that a try and see if it helps.

I'll check that out when I get home but I'm pretty sure everything is right, it was doing it before I even flashed anything so I think something else is the problem

Faulty battery or power button. You can try ODIN back to stock, not likely it will help.

It's not a battery or power button problem. Before I rooted it if I took the battery out and turned it on again it would turn on fine if I kept the screen from turning off. and the battery was staying charged, and if it wer a power button problem why would it work to turn the phone on but not again after its on?

My vote is a faulty power button. Has been known to happen on the S3. Could be power issues though. Bad battery could be the culprit. If flashing stock does not work see if you can get a battery to test out.

ok so i flashed stock and it fixed it temporarily. after i flashed it it was working great so i decided to root it and flash jedi. so i did this and it still worked great. (at this point i should mention that the sim card in the phone has been deactivated this whole time) so since its working i activate the simcard, restart the phone, and the problem started again. so i took the sim card right out and turned it back on and it works perfectly fine without the sim card in... what do you guys figure? should i try a new sim card? has anyone ever herd of this happening before?
EDIT: tried my other sim card in it and it doesn't work either, so it snot the simcard itself

Phone randomly shuts off

I need some help from you guys. I've had my phone for about 7 months, and it's rooted with xposed greenify and wake lock detector. Anyways, once every two weeks or so i wake up and my phone is completely shut off. I miss my alarm and it makes me late for work. Before I go to bed I make sure it's plugged into the charger and thr last thing I do is check my alarm and make sure it's set. And then I wake up and bam, phone is completely shut off. It won't turn on unless I take the battery out and pop it back in. Can anyone tell me what exactly is doing this or how I can find out what's shutting off my phone?

[Q] Phone with CM restarts in airplane mode

Hey guys,
since ~a week I got a heavy-ass problem with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM). I am using the Cyanogenmod Nightly Version cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip (bootloader version primemd04; cwm version 6.0.5.1). I know that nightly versions are not really stable and still have a lot of problems, but so far everything didn't went that badly. At least I was able to use the phone...
So last week I put my phone in airplane mode. That was when the disaster started.
Now what happens when I start my phone is, that it starts in airplane mode with wi-fi on and no matter what I do, restarts after ~1min. Sometimes it even shuts down, when starting it in recovery mode.
What I tried so far is:
factory reset ---> most of the time it shuts down halfway done and restarts as if nothing happened.
updating CM ---> restarts as if nothing happened.
I'm really lost right now, but still don't want to give up all hope.
Thanks for every kind of help!!
Cheers,
Lovis

Try to get a legit application that tells you the real CPU temperature like FKUpdater, in case you have franco.Kernel. Then just run heavy tasks on in. If it just ****s doen,might be a problem with the battery. Mine just shutdown on itself just by doing common tasks like calling. Replacing the battery fixed it. Another thing O realized was that if you plug it in the charger and use it was helping it not restart. Try this method. If it restarts then its pretty much a ROM or hardware related problem, if not then a battery problem for sure.

It has to be some kind of ROM problem. Before I got in airplane mode the phone worked almost perfectly.
