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.
Ok, so my Kindle Fire is rooted running an older version of CM9 (Late January) and since I don't use it very often it just sits there. Well, it ended up draining the battery and when I plug it into the wall to charge it just tries to turn on, gets to the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader logo and shuts off instantly. Over and over and over...
I've had it plugged in for about 20 minutes now and nothing is changing... How can I make it stop so it will just charge? I feel like its just booted and draining faster than its charging now.
Just let it sit for over an hour, came back and the screen was off with the light just flashing.
What now?! I unplugged it, and plugged it back in and it just resumed the screen flashing again...
I hope it didn't break because of the stupid battery
- plug it to the wall charger
- press and hold the power button for ~20sec till it turns off to allow it to charge
- let it charge for some hours (over night)

No dice, it won't turn off. I held it for over a minute while looking at the power light from an angle. It just kept on blinking green...
Btw, here is another thread for this

i tried holding the power button for longer than 30 sec, and its still not turning on.
Any suggestions?
Im running the PA 4.0 rom.
Hi all. First post here in the hopes you can help me. So hi.
I left my 2017 N7 for about 3 months (it was working prior), and now it won't boot or power on.
After exhausting the internet I have tried:
Leaving on charge for 24 hours.
Charging for an hour, then quickly unplug, plug back in and attempt to power on.
Hold power button for 30 seconds/one minute.
Hold power and up/down for various times.
Jumpstart original battery.
Charge from the side contacts.
Replaced USB module.
Replace battery.
Just a black screen.
I was running a custom rom with no issues prior, but it did have a sleep when not charging setting.
Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas.
Thanks!
Hello, I got this morning an issue with my ZTE Axon 7. Turned my phone off for the night and when I got up I plugged it in to charge it. The orange led didn't turn on. It tried to replug it but no change. I tried to charge it with my power bank - the power bank indicated charging but the phone still didn't respond anyhow. Then I decided to just turn it on as there was still around 40% of the battery as I remember. However, the phone didn't start. I have tried to hold the power button for a long time, held "turn on" with the "volume up" or "down" but nothing - the phone didn't respond at all while being a brick. I didn't smash it, drop or hit. What can I try else to do besides going to the repair service? Thank you!
Was your battery having problems before this happened, or was it working fine?
My battery is somewhat shot and does that thing where it will shut down when in use around 40%, and then if restarted claims 1%. It can, however, be coaxed to recharge but sometimes won't at first acknowledge that it's plugged in.
