Is this possible, it turns off when you close it.
when mine is plugged in it seems to do this, so perhaps the power profiles are where you need to look.
No, nothing obvious. Maybe a tinker with the registery!
I don't think it turns off when you close the lid. I think it just turns the screen off. I think this because if you open/close the lid within the auto-power-off period (3 mins?) it comes on again instantly, but if you don't touch the screen or any keys for more than 3 mins it doesn't come on when you open the lid.
I think it's like a basic laptop - close the lid and the screen is off, but the machine remains powered on.
... but I could be wrong.
My theory kinda supports joebongo's suggestion: if mine is plugged into power then it never turns off, so you can always open the screen and get an 'instant on' effect. If it's on batteries then it turns off after 3 mins, so once you leave it alone longer than 3 mins it doesn't come on when you open the lid.

Hi all
For some strange reason my Touch's back light will go off, but the screen itself will not turn off.
Any ideas, it's killing my battery if I forget to turn it off manually.
Thanks.
Well.....I'll start simple....have you checked to make sure 'turn off device if not used' is checked and you have a reasonable time limit set like 30 secs or a minute? You'll find this under start-->settings-->systems-->power-->advanced. Check to see if it behaves the same way on A/c power too.
I just double checked the settings and all is still right. Funnily enough the screen did go off afterwards. It just seems to do it every now and again. Did Microsoft carry over the need to restart every now and again from XP
Hmmm....you know my phone does that too sometimes. But I've noticed it only happens when its charging or on A/c power. It stays on for a bit longer after the backlight has turned off.....and I've had to wait for upto 3-5 mins for it to turn off. Perhaps your phones doing something similar.
Mine also does not go off when plugged in, but that's because I set it not to (in power settings).
I found my phone completely dead this morning ... any ideas??
Any body have this issue. When ever the phone is on and I need to pull the battery for whatever reason, it will not turn on when I put the battery back in.
If I wait and turn off the phone before taking out the battery it is fine though.
How I get it back on is a problem itself. It would take me upwards of 20 min of just pressing the power button x amount of time, removing the battery and charging it.
This isn't even happening when I am out of battery. I would have 90% left
Also sometime it looks like it tries to turn on, display the black screen with HTC logo and displays the radio... then it just keeps on rebooting itself. Never actually fully booting.

sounds like you are abusing your phone. dont mash buttons that many times, you are hurting it.
take the battery out, hold the power key for 10 seconds, let go. then put battery in, and press power key once.
if this doesnt work, get an iphone
I've read a few posts similar to this.
Solution: Once battery is out, leave out for 15-30 mins, reinstall battery WITHOUT turning device on, plug in power supply, wait an additional 5-10 mins before turning back on. Works for others.
OK will try this. Is there a reason why this always happend when I pull the battery though?
Also, check your pins. One of them may be bent.

Ok this way seem to work. Thanks
There wasn't any bent pins on it though. I thought that this was just one of the flaws of running Android on the HD2.
Because I never had an issue with pulling the battery and it not powering on while it was on the stock WIMO
thanks guys! it worked.
why do people continue to pull the battery? i think i've ever only pulled the battery once in the 3 months i've been flashing roms and testing builds. reset buttons always works for me. don't want to get them pins bent!
Successfully upgraded HD2 phone to Windows Phone 7 (thanks DFT and everybody else) but after a power off (using the power button) I can't power on the phone without first removing and refitting the battery. Then the phone will power on normally. Any ideas?
try doing a factory reset in setting > about. it will look like the phone has shut off, but let it sit, then the phone will successfully reset and power on automatically. DOIT.
I've also noticed that after the "Goodbye" screen shows up and then the screen completely turns off the device itself stays on for a couple secs... Sometimes it turns off completely right away..
I noticed that while the is phone charging... when you normally turn it off the charging light turns off along with the phone... then it starts charging again for like 2secs light turns off and the phone turns back on since MAGLDR doesnt let it charge while its off... if you get one im trying to say

Just trying to paraphrase for you....
When you turn off the phone, be patient. It seems to have turned off but is really on for a short time after the screen goes dark. Give it a second

I dunno if this phenomena is normal with the NC, or if it's happening ONLY in my NC.
I've noticed that whenever my NC's battery is low*, you cannot turn it on anymore. That's all well and good, because I would like to keep it turned off while it's being charged. I reckon it'll make it faster to charge because it doesn't use that much power in that state.
The problem is: IT DOESN'T STAY THAT WAY.
In my case, as soon as the NC's battery level reaches 9%, it AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON. And whenever I try to turn it off again WHILE THE USB CABLE CHARGER IS PLUGGED IN, it AUTOMATICALLY TURNS BACK ON AGAIN, which is extremely annoying since I don't typically use it while it's being charged. For me it wastes a lot of time because it would've been faster to charge it while it's turned off.
Anyone knows who can help me out on this?
1st Question: I want to be able to charge my NC while it's turned off. Is it possible?
2nd Question:
Is there a way to override the rule where it needs to have at least 15% power before you can turn it on?
I think I read in one of your posts you're using CM7... If that's the case... after your nook is connected and charging.... or after it turns itself back on....
Press and hold power until the power menu comes up
Select Power Off in the menu
It won't power back on automatically when you shut it down that way.
Are you sure that pressing the power button doesn't turn off the screen?
Cause I think that mine works this way while charging.
Unleashed from Nook Color on Cm7 Nightly 162 @1.200Mhz
I get the screen/charge thing too on nightly 150. Plug it in, turn screen off, look back in a few minutes, screen is on! I like to watch a video in bed while I drift off with it on slow charge but the screen is still on in the morning.
I was planning to use Tasker to fix this but haven't got very far yet.
I turn mine off all the time when I am charging. The only time it turns back on is if there is a power interruption.
I've seen many threads/posts talking about charging NC.
My case:
Once plugging for charging, it turns ON. I (or we) have to turn the screen off. Note: just turn the SCREEN off, not turn the NOOKcolor off.
I've had the same 'nook turning on when charging' on all roms tried - CM7, MIUI and MN Nook stock - and always wondered why??
In any event, i too also just turn the screen off.
cheers,

I always turn it completely off as it charges faster. There is no harm in doing so.

You can do that but it just takes longer time to get ready after you unplug the charge, with screen off, all you need is light press the N or the power button.
Additionally, don't know about CM7 but with stock OS, B&N clearly indicate that we need to turn screen off, NOT the NC off when charging.

Because there's no way to turn it off and it not reboot with power using stock AOS... it always behaves exactly like CM7 does if you hold the power button to turn it off... it reboots if power is connected... with CM7 you can select the power off option in the power long press menu and it will stay off.
A couple of weeks ago I came home from work and picked up the case my Samsung 10.1 tab was in. Curiously, it felt warm to the touch. When I took my tab out of the case, it was on! Now, I know I turned it off before I placed it in the case. How could it have turned on by itself? And aren't these things supposed to turn themselves off after awhile?
Today, I had my SGTab plugged in to charge for several hours. It was turned off. A couple of minutes ago I was sitting at my computer when I heard a familiar beep. I turned around to where I had my tab plugged in, and much to my surprise it had turned itself on. I noticed that the battery now read 100%. Usually when I unplug my tab it is at 98 or 99% charged. Is is supposed to beep and come on automatically when it reaches 100% charge?
Has anybody else experienced this?
You probably just have a tech-ghost that likes to mess with you. Just ignore it and it will eventually get bored and go elsewhere.
Seriously though, no. That is odd.
Mine turns itself on as well.
I mentioned this in another thread that I started, but mine seems to think USB items are being connected frequently, even when it is not plugged in, or when it is plugged in to power.
If I ever try to power it off, it defiantly powers back on seconds later.
Keep your tab handy and watch to see if the USB connected item shows up in your notifications or if the battery with a red X symbol shows up.
It will turn on to notify you that it is at 100% charge. Mine turns back off after a bit.

Couldn't tell ya cuz I've never charged my tab completely while it was off, I usually just leave it in sleep mode.
...but Fill there looks like he knows what he's talkin about...listen to him

Sorry, I didn't mean it was completely turned off; it was in sleep mode. I never turn it "off."
It happens to mine, and I notice that it takes place when charger is plugged in, and power gets cut for some reason.
I read elsewhere that it's supposed to give a sound when it gets 100% full. Mine only vibrates, is that normal?

That could be it, then.
Mine was doing something similar: plug in power connector, tab buzzes, press power button once to put tab to sleep, put down to charge....... come back next morning and tab screen is on.
This is what "fixed it for me": disable the "keep screen on when charging" in the developer options.
As already mentioned, the Tab will turn the screen on when it reaches 100% charge to tell you to remove the charger from the wall socket. If you have the Tab set to keep the screen on when charging, the screen will never turn off again at this point.
As I say, that fixed it for me, but as usual YMMV
