Is anyone able to power the focus off? When I bought it today it had about 1/2 a battery and I diligently used it until it powered off by itself. Trying to bring it completely down to "Cycle the battery for the first time. I wanted to charge for 10 hrs while the unit was powered off but as soon as I plugged it in it powered itself on. I continue to hold the power button down but it keeps powering itself back on. Is this normal? anyone able to power off while it is plugged in to the charger?
Love the phone so far....
A lot of current smartphones, including the iPhone, can't stay powered off when they are plugged in.
I don't really know why, but that's just how it is I think.
I cannot power it off when charging.

So my battery dies on my 8125 yesterday...no bigs, I plug my phone into my car charger. The orange light comes on, it has issues booting up, I power it off and keep it plugged in on the drive home from work. I get home, plug it into the wall charger and keep it there for a couple hours. It won't turn on. I figure, okay the battery is way drained, plug it back in and leave it there overnight. I wake up this morning and it still won't turn on. I take out and reseat the batter and SIM card...nothing. Plug it into the PC and it doesn't even recognize that I plugged in a device. I think its dead. Any ideas before I send it back to Cingular?
update:
i tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40399 and at first it wouldnt power up after plugging it directly into the usb. five minutes later? success!!! woot! that thread needs to be stickied.
Okay not sure that this works but has been mentioned before.
While plugged in to power/USB hold down the power button and then wait.....then press the power button once.
might work
I had my Nexus One sitting in a drawer for a couple of weeks--I switch phones every month or so just to keep it fresh. Today I plug it into the wall to charge, as to use it for a bit.
NOTHING. Charging light is on, but when I push the power button, only the charging light blinks, then goes back to charging only. (The screen does not come on, nor does the phone power up). I was running CM7 stable before I powered it off and put it in the drawer for safe keeping.
What might cause this?
NVM...after dicking with it for an hour it finally managed to power on.
Ok my n10 is rooted and romed with CARBON rom, no problems nothing, but today I had an email come in I looked at it set It down left the screen on a second later it just died. so I plugged it in back on it comes. later same thing almost dead checked new email, set it down screen on then death.....plugged it in again, now nothing except a flashing battery charging symbol. been charging for 10 min. tried power, power volume down, nothing....got a different cable...nothing.....my computer wont pick it up either. what do I do?????
PLEASE HELP!!!
I just had this same problem with mine; because of the strange battery issue where my battery would read 90% when it was actually empty and slow charging once it was plugged in... The resolution for me was to plug it into the charger for 5 minutes and not touch it and then try a power on.

Thanks Ill give it a go!!
Plug it in to the wall charger, not a computer. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then hold all buttons down at the same time. This should let the tablet boot now and will bring you into fastboot mode. It defaults to "Start" so just hit the power button and the tablet will boot like normal. Once you verify the tablet will boot fine, shut it down and leave it plugged into the wall charger until the tablet is charged all the way.
Dont know if it is a coincidence or not but this is the 3rd time I have heard the same story and all people were using the Carbon ROM.
Thanks guys for the feedback, definitely will be switching roms and buy the pogo charger!

Hi,
I have a nexus 7 2012 and it worked fine and runs CM 12. The other day I powered it off by pressing the power button then clicking the power off option in the power menu. When I turned it back on it didn't boot up and I ended up having to hold the power button for ages. Powered if off again the next day (only use it occasionally) and when I went to turn it back on it didn't boot again. This time though no matter how long I hold the button for or leave it on charge nothing happens.
I've tried everything from trying different charging cables, plugs, plugged it into laptop, pressing power + volume down and even pressing all 3 buttons. I've popped the back off and unplugged then plugged back in the battery. Nothing works there's no sign of life at all, no screen flickers no nothing I'm stumped. Think when I powered it off it was at 15% battery if that makes a difference?
Only conclusion I can come too is that the charging port is broke or the circuit. Sadly I don't have anything I can use to try and charge it using the four pin connector at the side to test it. Only thing I haven't tried is to "jump-start" the battery. Just take out battery and strip a usb cable and plug the power wires directly into the battery for half hour but not to sure whether to do that or not and wanna make sure I have exhausted all other options before trying that.
Any ideas?

I don't know how many people are still using these, but I have a solution to this that doesn't involve opening up the tablet or anything else invasive.
The problem is that the screen stays on and drains the battery too quickly before android has a chance to fully boot, so it dies and then starts up again. So you want to let it charge as much as possible with the screen off, before finally letting it boot.
The way I do this is to plug the tablet into my laptop (for whatever reason this technique doesn't work with the wall charger), and then hold the power button down for like 5 minutes. Don't let go of the power button, just hold it down.
After the initial 30 seconds, the tablet will go into a boot loop of having the display on for about 2 seconds, and then off for about 10 seconds. The battery is charging during that 10 seconds, and the 2 seconds of display time isn't enough to fully drain it. Just keep holding that power button. After 5 or so minutes of this, once the display comes on just let the power button go. It should boot up completely into android and dim the screen (but hit the power button to turn off the display once it's fully booted up, just in case).
Android should now be slowly charging, and the lock screen will say it's at 0% or 1% and charging slowly. Just leave it alone and it will fully charge. After a minute it's usually got enough power to quickly switch from the laptop charger to the wall charger, if that's your preferred charging method.
