[Q] Turn off Omnia 7 when charging

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.

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

[Q] Charging issue since using Nand

Since using the nand method for running Android I have an issue with charging.
I turn the phone off at night and plug it in, in the morning the charging LED is still orange and i cannot switch the phone on at all unless I pull the battery.
Is there a fix for this issue that anybody knows of please ?

Oreo, have charging issue

This is the second time...factory resettled it, works well for a couple of days and problem start to come back...need to restart phone then only it is able to charge it..
Definitely not hardware because when I plugged in my phone, it doesn't charge, until when I switched off, it starts charging..

let the battery drain all the way to the 0%. ive had same issue few times with my s7 edge it would not respond to any command no matter what i do, then all of the sudded after i didint touch the phone for abouth 6-7 hours i put it on charge again and 0% was shown and started charging.
most probably its a motherboard issue and should be replaced at least in my case

Thanks for your response, i've left it unplogged for more than a day and still nothing. Should i wait longer?
How expensive would replacing the motherboard be?

I'm only telling from my experience, untill your battery is 0 it will be like that presuming it has somewhat same issue as mine . Try pressing buttons from time to time it could help to drain battery faster . On second hand market it should not be more then 40-50 euro. Also AliExpress has motherboards but not new, used

R.I.P S7 edge 2016-2019 will be missed

Same thing ! Phone just totally dead.
The same thing just happened to my S7edge today... I think it's a conspiracy so that we are forced to change the phone.
Sad, I liked that phone.
Nothing would work, it started at first a rebooting loop, then suddenly stopped giving any sense of life.
Doesn't show any indication when plugging the charger. nor responsive to any of the rebooting button combinations...
I even had it on stock Rom and never flashed any customer ROM on it or anything.
I think leaving the phone battery to drain as a solution only works if your phone was already on and it just gave a black screen, but it's still on.
But in my case, it was already in a rebooting loop and I suspect it is not even ON anymore, it just went totally off somehow...
So there is no was to know if the battery is draining.

update:
So I left it overnight. In the morning, I connected the charger and indeed it drained to 0% and started being responsive to charging again.
As soon as it charged to 20% I powered it on. It loaded into recovery, giving the no command screen. Then I went on and selected system reboot.
Then it rebooted and Android started, as soon as I tried unlocking it, it froze and started again into an endless rebooting loop until it blacked out again. Now again not responsive.
I will leave it to drain again. Does anyone know what I shall do when it gets to that endless rebooting sequence. It is obvious that Android had a malfunction... not sure what as I didn't do anything new last week..
Is there a way to get it through without factory reset?
Thanks

SAMSUNG j5 (j500FN) - Completely Dead - HELP!!!!!!

Hi
My J5 was working just fine yesterday. Today I tried to switch it on, I got no response. I tried to charge it, the battery charging icon does not come up, screen blank. Replaced the battery, still it refuses to turn on. The power on switch seems fine, checked it with a multimeter. Battery voltage 4.03 volts. Is this a known issue? What do I need to do to revive my phone? Any help appreciated. Thanks

How old is your phone? Did you ever drop it? It might be the LCD itself.

I doubt that. Phone has not been dropped. 3 years old now. The phone does not vibrate when I press the power button. Also I don't hear a sound from my PC when I connect it with a usb data cable.
