Got my Xoom today and very happy with it but I feel like the screen brightness sensor is very inaccurate. Anyone else have this problem? When I turn AUTO on it is way too dark.
Also when I plug in USB it does not charge (I'm on a Mac). Anyone have this problem or maybe it's not supposed to charge on USB?
Thanks!
I definitley agree with the auto-brightness thing.

yea from what i hear the auto-brightness sucks and you are better off doing it manually and there is no charging via usb. its for data only. it also says it in the manual

Thanks for that. I'm obviously too lazy to read the manual Shame about the lack of USB charge. Guess I could buy a second charge for work.

I noticed that the phone turns the moment the charger is connected to it (or if the USB cable is attached from a PC that is on). There doesn't seem to be a way to charge the phone with it switched off.
Do the others notice the same behaviour or is this a problem with my Omnia? Is there a way to disable this?
Yeah I have the same thing you cannot charge it while it is turned off. This is true from all the iPhones I have used aswell. It isn't a fault don't worry about it.
I don't know if it can be disabled but why would you want to out of interest?
I tend to charge the phone at night and don't want to receive calls.....

Flightmode is your friend
Settings -> Flightmode on
That cuts all wireless connections, you won't receive calls or SMS at night.
Noticed this too, my phone also reboots when I connect it to a charger too - anyone else had that happen?
With some reading i;ve been doing, *only recently started reading up about li-ion bats* seems they might be on to gain optimal charge / long life at the right voltage.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
might be why...
I'm doing more research into it. But another reason i can think of is, When it's on. Boot up time isn't there. Flight mode is. I use it rather than turning a phone off now, saves turning on the other end, i can play a game, watch a video, listen to music on the plane and charge it on a socket ready for the other end.
Yes, i noticed this issue also... as i remember, in a small book that came with my phone there is written you can charge you phone when its switched off - it will charge faster.. but theres not written how never mind, its like that, and thats the way it is...
Oh this would be bad. I charge my phone at nights too, and have it next to my bed. If the screen would be on it would be too bright to sleep with (I'm a very light sleeper). Hmm...

No, the screen won't be on
The screen turns off after a minute or you can press the standby button manually.
It's just that you can't switch off the phone completely when it is connected to a charger.

Maybe it's some kind of power management that the OS is doing therefore it needs to be on.
Battery life is great on WP7 after all.
It's confirmed by pocketnow.com
the WP7 OS doesn't allow you to charge while the phone is off
This behavior started last night after activating Monitor power usage in the battery settings section. Deactivating it didnt help. I tried removing battery and that has not worked either. Im down to going back to stock or maybe even reinstalling an earlier Miui backup I have to see if that works first. Any advice would be appeciated, thanks.

And what's the problem with the screen turning on when you connect usb? It's normal and it also happens in stock roms.
I don't know if it's the same thing, but something similar happened to me too. What i did was just cleaning the micro-usb connector on the bottom of the phone. This never happened to me anymore.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
you just created a connection between 2 pins in the connector, the same as when you plug in the charger, its normal behaviour, dont worry about it.
Go into Application settings (or Development, can't remember where it is on MIUI) and turn off "keep screen awake". It's for developers who don't want the phone to sleep while debugging.
Ok I think I finally found what was causing this. It only happens when USB debugging is turned off. When I turn it back on Im able to charge without the phone automatically booting back up. Im not sure if this is a bug. Should it be behaving like this?

Verrified that and its turned off. Turning debugging mode off causes my issue though. I find that kinda wierd.
USB debugging mode has always been weird on MIUI - on my GS2 it doesn't recognise that the USB cable has been disconnected until you reboot the phone.
Thanks for the tip, I've been wondering the same thing myself. This was a pain when I was trying to charge my phone at work with it off. Thanks.
PS: I really wish people would properly read the post before answering with the standard "it's normal, don't worry about it" etc. See it far too often.
Havnt been able to find a fix so far. What I do is I keep debugging mode off for everyday use and just turn it on when I need to recharge the phone over night. That way the phone stays off.
When I place my n4 onto the orb, the screen does not light up and no sound is played as expected on 4.2.2
Because of the screen not coming on, daydream mode also doesn't turn on after the set time.
The expected behavior I have seen on a friend's n4 when they put it on their orb is for there to be a noise then the screen comes on. If you leave it on the orb then it goes into daydream mode after the screen timeout.
Anyone else have an issue where it doesn't do this or know of a fix?
Do you have a case on your phone? On larger cases, the distance between the phone and the charger is too much for it to work.

No case. Also, I forgot to mention that the phone does charge just fine on the orb. It just doesn't make the sound and turn on the display to eventually allow daydream to turn on.
Odd. I'm pretty sure that 4.2.2 update turned off the sound if the phone's charge is >90% or something...
I'm assuming you have daydream set up properly too? There are a few different options for when it should turn on.

Same behavior if battery is below 90%. I have daydream set to "either" but same issue is I set to charge or even dock .
Anyone else seeing this or just me? I may wipe the device to see if that helps but really don't want to.
yup, same thing happens to me. running 4.2.2
so I have two QI chargers - one is the LG WCP 700 and that one will light up the screen just like its plugged into the wall
the Orb charges for me just as you described. that tells me for sure that the phone recognizes this as something different
---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------
actually this dock isn't perfect for me. if i don't put it on right, it will alternate between charging and not charging every 2 seconds, and this will actually light the screen up. doesn't happen often, but its really annoying when it does. fixes if you move it a bit.
As the title suggests: is there any way to prevent the Yota from starting operation when plugging in the charger/data cable?
Sometimes I prefer just to charge the phone without intending to use it. For explanation: mainly I use it as a flight computer in a glider plane and wish to be at 100 % before flying.
BTW, for those interested: the pilot's community likes the device very much because of its superb sunlight readabilty and little power demand.
I think it is a kernel issue. I don't know if in MM issue is fixed

I'm running Android 6.0.1, RU 1.1.47, BTW
I want that also, charging my phone on turn off state
Anyone...?
?
Generally i charge yotaphone during the night, and i swich it in airplaine mode
I ran my phone down to empty battery, so I went to charge it. As it was already powered off I left it because, surely, it would charge faster that way.
When I came back to take it off the charger I discovered the phone powered on, display on full brightness, WiFi on and everything, and the phone hadn't charged sufficiently at all.
I never told it to turn on but it does this every time, and even when I turn it back off it turns back on again!!! ???
Thanks for your answers! ?
The same thing happens to me... no offline charging on our G6's, at least not after reaching around 5% of battery.
So when I want to charge my g6 faster, I will plug it in and make sure it's charging and then I will power it off. It will act like it's booting back up but it won't.

You can't change that. The only workaround is to turn it off after you have connected the charger. Since I use wireless charging, that is a difficult option for me so I just gave up.
You can't ffs, it has auto boot after 3-4% of charging. And thats not even a bad thing. If you want charge it faster turn airplane mode on, on charging.

"ffs"? I don't think it was that unreasonable to ask. Don't be rude. I already know about airplane mode.
HI !1
when i put my G6 on charge it mostly show high temperature detected and shutting down message and power off .. what should i do i face high temperature message after 24 hrs .. although my phone is on normal temp and no heat on its body ?
Maybe a software thing? Im on 20G oreo canadian unbranded sim unlocked. I powered down at 2 percent and plugged in charger and my phone stayed off untill i powered up ag 100 percent. Just my observation

Try factory reset first. If still the same then it sounds like a battery failure, which can be replaced but not easily.

That option in settings is there whether you can OEM unlock the device or not... Also, most or at least some G6 models can be OEM unlocked.
That temperature warning is still probably your battery. Batteries can get extremely hot when they malfunction (much more so than the other components alone) so I'd get it checked out or you may have a Note7 in your hands

thanks for info .. lets see i got new battery
So still no fix for the issue? Mine is turning on when charging as well, I mainly use wireless charging but it happens when charging with the USB cable AND when charging wirelessly. The phone will not stay powered off. Any suggestions? I have the most recent Android 8.0.0 update, VS988 on Verizon. I've never had an issue like this on Android, very frustrating.
I also found this link from LG. It seems to be software based, why would they do this?

In my case I drained the battery during usage thus not performing a graceful shutdown. When I try to charge into the wall it displays the charging icon on the screen and runs out of power and shuts down again-->Won't Charge.... I plugged the cable into my computer which seems to perform a slower charge --> the battery icon does not display and I am able to charge... this is silly as as a workaround solution. How to prevent the battery icon from display during charge?
This worked for me and it was so simple. I was looking in the wrong place for an answer.
On the plug end, where the USB cable is plugged into the plug, I noticed that the cable did not seem to be pushed in all the way. I pulled it out of the plug, then reinserted it as far as it would go.
Voila! The problem went away. I can now turn off my phone, insert the charging plug, and the phone goes into fast charge and, most importantly, stays powered OFF. Try it. this might work for you as well.
