[Q] Phone think it is still connected to charger

MYT4G Glacier / Virtuous Unity 2.37 (others too)
I have been having a problems recently. When I connect my phone to charger and then disconnect it it still thinks it is connected to the charger. The Orange light or the green light indicator stays on, the full says battery is full (if green light) and will not show the battery depleting. I was having this issue in another rom . I have wiped and reinstalled the roms, but the problem still remains. I have formated my SD card and no go either.
Any one running into this issue?

I do experience this some times. But not exactly the same problem.. I would suggest you swap batteries., factory reset.. or just go to T-Mobile authorized dealer they might be able to help.

Same thing happens to me as well occasionally only that when I unplug it from the charger the charger light stays on but the screen refuses to. Happened to me on stock T-Mobile gingerbread

The reason I said take it to T-Mobile store is because about 2weeks ago I had a co worker who couldn't charge his phone for nothing tried every chargers, took the battery out, nothing happened. Then we drove to a t-mobile store and they used their "special" charger lol.. and the phone started charging and was working.. wasn't sure what the guy did, but try the t-mobile store it should help.

[Q] RED led is always on

Hey my led is always red and it doesnt turn off at all. the device is not damaged by water or stuff like that. WHAT the hell?

I've got a similar problem, if not the same:
When I turn off my phone and charge it via USB/AC Power, the LED becomes red (which is normal, to charge) but when it is fully charged it is still red and the phone will not turn on. Only when I remove the battery and the LED turns off will the phone turn on. When the phone is on and I charge this does not happen.
Any suggestions? Nothing is wrong with the phone, just this.

Yeah, same thing. it's always on and always red. I've tried reflashing but that didn't help at all.

This problem has been partially solved. You need to change your Clockworkmod version with this one:

It will allow you to charge your phone while it's off and when you finished charging the red led will turn off. But unfortunately the red led will not become green when it's fully charged. At least you don't need to remove the battery to power on your phone. Hope it is helpful.

latest nightly #256 has working off mode charging and led turning to green at 90% charge, but keeps charging til 100%.

I got the same problem! I thought I was the only one with that problem
What do I need to get it working? Only the Cyanogenmod nightly or also the custom Clockworkmod?

Offmode charging bug is a clockwork bug not cm7, I'm using clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6 and no longer have the bug.
Try upgrading cwm.

OK thanks, I will try updating CWM

I thought I was the only one too
Edit: Mine cannot flash this, I'm not sure why though. Some people were saying use it in unrevoked but i've already rooted my phone!

Nook color only charges while on

When the screen turns on when you connect the charger just push the power button for a second and the screen will turn back off again. This will reduce the power consumption if your not using it and allow it to charge a bit quicker.

Same thing with mine. Anytime its off, or I turn it off and plug it in via usb or ac it still turns on. I think it's programed to do so. Lol

It will always turn the Nook on when you plug it in. You need to plug it in first and let it boot, then shut down while still plugged in.

Ok thanks ill try that

Phone won't charge or turn on

After flashing Quarx's JB 25.10 rom, my phone ran i to trouble. Now, it won't boot. I when I plug in the phone into an outlet, the charging light won't come on but oddly, the phone turns on and goes to the Motorola logo at boot. Then it stays there. I've since lost the original cable that came with the defy if that matters. When I plug the phone into the USB of my computer to charge, the charging LED comes on. But after some time, the phone turns on and goes to the Motorola logo and stays there with the charging LED off. Some time latter, the phone will turn back off and the charging LED will come back on. And then the cycle repeats with the phone turning on to the Motorola logo.
When I hold the up volume and power button, I get a message saying battery is too low to program so I can't even get to flashing a new SBF from RSDLite. Help?

Had this problem with first 2ndboot builds, but it should be resolved in later updates... For me charge mode works fine on 10.18 +10.25update.
Anyway you can try starting the phone without the battery, with moto charger:
1: pull out battery
2: connect charger to mains
3: connect charger USB cable to phone
4: phone should power up automatically, and boot to CM10
5: once the phone booted to CM10, you can put the battery back, and charge it
This method worked for me, hope it will work for you too!

It's stuck at the Motorola logo. After I had the problem, I reinstalled CM10 but the phone abrubtly shut off mid install. That may of caused some problems.

Charge the battery with desktop charger first...

You mean a computer USB to phone USB cable charging? That doesn't help. The moment I plug the phone in, the white LED ligth blinks once quickly but the phone won't even turn on to the Motorola Logo.

No, he means a separate batt charger, where you can put the battery in.

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.

So why would flashing a custom ROM cause problems with charging?

[Q] evo charge issue

my evo will not stop charging when disconnected from charger and wont connect to comp pleas help need to fix asap

What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?

Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.

Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?

evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.

You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.

thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...
