Battery condition - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey just wondering how do you guys condition the battery. Thanks

fully charge the battery...run it til its dead...beat the crap out of it...let it charge while the phone is powered off til its fully charged....rinse and repeat a couple times.

Can't be done on the mt4g until the clockwork recovery bug is fixed. If u charge the phone while powered off, recovery opens in a few secs.

yeah...forgot to mention that...it works like that if your working from stock

Clockwork Recovery boots up when powered off and charging

Hey all I just rooted my phone last night and installed the 8/11 version of cyanogen mod 6. Needless to say I don't miss HTC Sense. I have one small quirky detail though that's driving me up a wall
When i power off my phone at night and plug it in to the wall charger, it boots into Clockwork Recovery instead of too a battery indicator. I prefer to turn my phone off at night but I can't let it sit in Clockwork Recovery everytime i turn it off to charge.
Is this a bug and something I just have to deal with or is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

yes it's a minor issue, and yes, we all have to deal with it. It doesn't even start clockwork reliably that way.
It seems the old battery icon was part of the original recovery, so there is no fix is on the horizon. Really, no functionality has been lost. The phone is never really off when charging anyway. Better to just leave the phone on and let the screen go off while charging.
For future reference, this is not really a development topic, and is more suited for general discussion.
Moved to General.
So, no functionality is lost?
Does that mean the phone is actually charging while in recovery? My LED shows orange like it is charging, but doesn't seem to turn green. I have fully charged the phone while on, used it a little (15 minutes or so), shut it down, then plug it in and it is still orange after a couple of hours.

No idea about that. I don't shut down to charge - so for me - no functionality is lost. I'll trade clockwork recovery for shutting down to charge any day.

security issue?
I understand if this is not a functionality issue, but what about security? I am running a tracking app on my phone in case of theft. Doesn't this make it extremely easy to wipe my phone and remove it?
What I'm wondering is if there is a recovery image that has a standard charging capability that I could use instead of Clockworkmod. I'm not planning on installing a new os any time soon even though I like clockworkmod.

no. if it bothers you that much, unroot your phone and reinstall the original recovery.
just flash the old recovery, you just wont be able to flash roms afterword without unrevoked.

HTC Aria battery charge icon replaced by ClockworkMod

my battery charge icon was replaced by ClockworkMod and now i can't charge my phone when it is turned off. any solution for this problem? thanks.
I think what you mean is when you shut down it reboots into clockwork? Ive had that happen. If thats the case just select reboot and it turns back on / charges
you can't charge it when it's turned off

That is how clockwork works but it should not be a problem as your phone is still charging regardless if it's sitting in clockwork or on in Adroid.

it reboots in clockwork only when the usb cable is plugged in ac.
i turn off my phone at night and charge it. that's why it bothers me.
but it seems there's no solution for that. i'd would have to uninstall clockwork, then?
Why don't you just leave your phone on?
or just put it on silent.
ok. i was just wondering if that could be fixed. thanks.
Just unplug the cable before shutting it down, then plug it back in after it is fully shutdown.
phone died
ya my phone died completely in my pocket and didnt have enough power to boot,
but i had the same problem with my old htc 8125 and had a solution ready
some htc phones, (2 that i have) htc aria and htc 8125 cant run without battery because there isnt a direct connection from the usb port to the battery.
the phones OS charges the battery once its booted, so with a dead battery you cant do jack. this just happened to me with aria. before i would just plug it in and the battery icon would pop up. but now its clockworks recovery. left phone plugged in for hours and still nothing. i had a usb cable cut up from when my 8125 did this and it worked for the aria too. so if your aria dies, google how to fix 8125 dead battery problem. basicly you take a usb cable and cut it expose the + and - power cables and touch them direct to the battery + and - for about 5-10 mins to give it a boost of power then boot it up. once booted the issue is gone, till your battery dies again. Im assuming the aria fixed the old problem with the recovery where recovery can run with direct power cause i could get to clockwork all day long with dead battery, but could not get it to boot till i jump started the battery.
that means i won't be able to charge my phone if the battery dies?
(unless i "jump start" the battery?)

I'm pretty sure the wall-charge adapter will always charge the phone. It always has full juice to the USB pins whereas a USB host only supplies a minimal current to the device then the device must request more from the host once communications are established (part of the USB specifications).
Attn1 has a procedure of flashing ROMs without flashing CMmod, i did that. Now i have liberated aria rom with stock recovery. It works correct.

i think i'll just wait my battery die and see if i can charge it then.
i hope i won't lose my phone forever. hehe.
I think it should be considered as bug then?

No, because even before you flashed clockwork, the phone is never off during charge. If you shut down and plug in, it would boot that big green battery (which was part of the old recovery) and eventually sleep. But it was not off. No Clockwork bug - just a crappy HTC design.
Uninstalling clockwork or patching the phone?

Sorry, I didn´t see this thread before, and I asked about this issue in others.
Isn´t it possible to run an update using clockwork to change it to work in the normal way, at least just with a black screen, not starting the clockwork recovery... Its just to minimize the probability to make mistakes, the clockwork interface could be dangerous if you don´t know what you are doing...
I´ve seen a "patch" to run live wall papers on Aria: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6953168#post6953168
It would be possible to make a similar patch for this case? I´m just wondering...
What if I uninstall the clockwork recovery replacing it with the original?, is it possible?
Is there anyway to change it back to the battery, but leave clockwork on? My mom just got the aria, and I rooted it to flash the sense ROM here. Is there anyway to take off clockworks, or return the battery charge animation on the phone?
The battery charge screen is part of the original recovery and there is no way that I know of to have two recoveries on the same recovery partition, so I'd have to say "no".
This will bring back the battery charging animation instead of clockwork
Attn1 pointed me the way in irc.
Basically, you flash back the stock recovery using unrevoked. Then when you want to use clockwork, you flash it with unrevoked.

Remember, if its stuck at looking for root, press the power button, and let it continue. For me, it would get stuck there, and I didn't realize thats all that was needed for it to be successful.

clockwork recovery charge issue

As soon as I turn my phone off and plug in the charger the phone turns on by itself and goes straight to recovery. Whys that?
I am having this issue too, so you're not alone, and neither am I.
I also added Vision BaconBits 0.3 FWIW. Hope its resolved soon.
Thanks in advance!
Just confirming that it's a common and known issue.
What happens when you leave the phone on and just charge it?

It charges.
I do this every night as I also use my phone as my alarm clock. The problem I have with this is that after I wake up I turn it off to top off the charge while I get ready. This may be a problem as my screen isn't turning off in recovery. I guess I won't be doing that anymore.
well, im still having this issue. What I do is go to airplane mode and just charge it. I do a quick reboot in the morning and im good to go. I hope koush fixes it soon, I like turning my phone off

[Q] Wildfire charging problem!H E L P

Hi i have rooted my wildfire from 2.1 to 2.2 froyo and since i've make this, when i charge with the phone off, the phone freezes: the phone will not turn on and the green led is not seen but only red led which remains on. I am forced to remove the battery every time I turn on the phone after charging.
How can i fix this? I have also tried to flash other radio images, but without success.
Who can help me?
It is a known bug of clockworkmod and there is no fix as of now. This persists even in v3.x

actually try pressing the power button and trackpad button both at the same time, that might turn it on.

Why not turn it on when charging ?
long time ago, when I used a Sony ericson, They claimed that better to turn it on during charging, it's can collect a electricity better than turn it off.
may be not true now.

Nexus 4 won't boot back up

Today, when my nexus 4 reached 0% it shutdown like how it usually does but the odd thing is when i plugged it back into the charger and tried to turned it back on, it didnt respond at all... No battery icon, no vibration, no led notification, NOTHING.
Is my phone dead? Is there any way to turn it back on?
I tried numerous amounts of button combinations.. volume up+power, volume down+power, all the buttons, nothing!
Nexus 4 was rooted, unlocked bootloader
running LiquidSmooth Official build 2.1, Matrix 8.5 kernel
Any help would be appreciated!

It happens when you let the phone hit 0%. It doesn't happen to me but it does to some folks.
Try to just leave the usb cable plugged it for an hour or so and see what happens. If it powers on, just remember don't let it hit 0%. I assume you were trying to calibrate the battery. If you were then that's not necessary.
Good luck!
