[Q] Calibration battery, working around the clockwork bug.

So I read somewhere you can't properly calibrated the battery because when you plug the phone in while its off CW boots. Well couldn't you just charge it fully, reset battery stats, uninstall CW, drain the battery and charge it to calibrated the battery?

I guess you could but that would be quite a pain. The clockwork big is quite annoying.

Didn't work, uninstall Rom manager but ny still booted to recovery... wheb I plugged it in while it was off...

you could reinstall the stock recovery then calibrate your battery. The image is in the Dev forum.

or you could turn "fastboot" on in your device. that will prevent the clockwork recovery from starting when you start charging.

I don't see how this solves anything. The phone isn't truly powering down with fastboot enabled so you can't get a full charge correct? If you enable fastboot, then pull and reinsert the battery, then plug in it boots into recovery.
Someone enlighten me please.

Well if you drained your battery until its dead completely then its impossible for it not to shut down completely... dunno that's what I ended up doing guess we will see if it worked out or not.

That makes sense, true that "fastboot" puts your phone into a sleep state and therefore not truly off. BUT if you burn the battery til it's dead than fastboot or not it's going to be truly off.
Right?
Lol makes sense to me.

Y'all need to try this:

Clockwork recovery.

Are they going to fix the bug anytime soon? trying to fix my battery and all methods consist of charging it off..

Honestly I've had fine luck with simply wiping battery stats when phone is fully charged, rebooting, removing from charger and going on with my life. Never found the need to "recalibrate" beyond what I just said.
Try it.

Thanks I just found that if you turn fastboot on that is a way to work around the cw bug.

What do you mean? Fastboot, plug in, then power down and it stays off while charging?

Seems fastboot needs to be on, and phone plugged before powering off. This worked for me

This works because with fastboot turned on, your phone doesn't completely shut off. It goes into hibernation mode without clearing memory. It's more of an illusion of a fix than anything.

This is true...

You also need to change your Connect to PC option from "Disk Drive" to "Charge only" and your phone won't turn on into Recovery Mode with it "Off" and plugged into the wall charger... Last night, I had the phone turn itself on in Recovery Mode, after I had completely turned it off, until I rebooted and changed the Connect to PC option and tried the recharging procedure that way again... Then it charged with the phone off, the way it should.

Not working for me, phone still turns on in recovery menu. Any other ideas ?

If you're on the stock ROM enable fast boot in MENU, SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS.

I'm on Evil Z ROM, FASTBOOT doesn't work ... still powers up in Recovery.

Hate to day this bro, but known bug. Deal with it. :-\

[Q] Will the charge light ever turn green in Clockwork Recovery?

Just curious. I know it's easy to reflash stock recovery, but if the phone shows as 100% full and I power off with it plugged in, the charge light still shows orange in Clockwork Recovery.
Just wondering if I leave it like this overnight if the light will ever turn green?

I think it's just a bug. Maybe it'll be fixed in the next update.

If I recall correctly the phone booting to clockwork recovery when charging while off has to do with the PHONE itself, not Koush's work.
I know the phone charges while in "off recovery" but the light shows orange even when the phone was already full.
What I really wanted to know is if the light will ever turn green.

I don't think it ever will, I don't think it even charges while in clockwork recovery

It does charge while in recovery. But I've had occurances where the phone's batter icon is no longer 'charging' as in being animated. But it in fact is still charging. It stops charging untill the 'Bolt' icon dissapears.
Hope this helps.

Do you mean clockworkmod recovery or stock recovery? Agree that it charges in stock recovery.

Right, and I don't believe it charges in clockworkmod recovery. It sounded like Elloco305 was talking about stock recovery because unless I missed something, CWM recovery doesn't have any kind of bolt icon.

It does while in CWM
And the battery icon with the 'Bolt' is on the ROM/Stock/CM/IG/etc.
I'm sorry for not making sense earlier. >.<
BTW what version of CWM do you have installed? Because 2.5.1.2 Gives no LED function. At all.
Neither does 3.0.0.5
So again. What version are you running???

It's not the version. If you reboot into recovery you get no light. If you power off the phone while already connected to the charger and wait for it to boot itself to recovery, THEN you get the light.

got a big problem

I let my sister use my phone and she did a factory reset. Now my phone boots up to the Samsung logo with custom at the bottom says booting into recovery at the top and then shuts off and does it all over again. I even tried holding up home and power. Is there anything I can do to fix it or am I screwed? It was rooted with 4.4.2

Try pulling the battery

Reboot into download mode. Then reboot from there. Typical bootloop likely
