So yeah... like the title says, I'm having trouble charging. Basically I plug the phone in (powered off), and it will turn back on. I turn it off with it still plugged in, and it powers back up. Also, if I turn the phone upside down (screen facing down), the orange/red charging light goes off, but turns back on when it's right-side up again. I'm VERY confused with this... Would this constitute an exchange at the Sprint store?
its haunted. Boo~~~!!!!!!
my hero does the same thing and i dont think there is anything wrong with it

Are you sure you are powering off, or are you putting your phone to sleep? There's a difference.
On mine, if I physically power off the phone (hold the red button down for about a couple of seconds and select Power Off), then the phone will not turn on when I plug in a charger (or sync cable).
However, if I simply push the red button without holding it for two seconds, the screen simply turns off (I put the phone to sleep). When I plug in my charger (or sync cable), the screen will turn on (the phone wakes up).
Just in case you really are powering it off. There is a built in awake interrupt set to monitor power connect. To manually activate it connect , disconnect, connect, ( fast ) the power cord to the phone. It should boot. So if it's doing it then your power application to the charger, is noisy. Get a zero crossing switched power strip and use it's switch to power on the charger.
Mine has always booted back after I plug it in if the battery dies or I power off intentionally for some unknown reason. I didn't realize people intentionally turn their phones off any more.

Hey there
I might just be being stupid but is the XDA Exec meant to turn on when you plug it into the USB or charger? It was off and then I pluegged it in and it came on all by itself, started up Windows etc. Is this normal?
Apologies if I sound stupid
Thanks,
Dave
how off was it? by pressing the on off button off, or by removing/inserting battery off? mine will turn on fully, if it is off by the button, then plugged in, then screen opened
It was battery off... well, the battery had run down and the screen turned off. It also did it when I first got the Exec... when i plugged it in to charge the first time it turned on itself, and i think that's why my battery isn't great now.
I heard/found that pressing the on/off button doesn't really turn it off. When i press it it sorta turns the screen off, then i press it again and the screen comes on, and i press it again and it seems to turn off. What's this about? lol

So I started writing this post as I though my phone was bricked. Anyway the story:
So, I'm calibrating my battery. Battery was totally flat so I plugged into AC. Was working on assignments and watching TV for about 40mins answer phone call talk for 10mins (still plugged in) go watch TV for about 30mins come back, all the button lights are on. WEIRD. Red led Flashing. WEIRD. Press power to unlock. Nothing. Press power again nothing. Hold Power nothing. Power + Vol = Nothing. Oh sh!t. take out power, lights go off. Try to power on as before = nothing. Oh crap what now? Take out battery, sim and sd. Replace battery after 15 secs. Power on nothing. Plug in lights come on again. Power = nothing. Eventually after stressing out for a little while and repeatedly unplugging and plugging in. It booted into charging mode. and now weirdly all my GO widgets (and only the GO widgets, not facebook, etc) are gone WTF is going on.
this is so weird that no one has experience....
I just had a similar experience. I was charging my Ideos x5 on front usb connector of an old computer. I guess it didn't had enough voltage because the phone suddenly went dead. And than ... led blinking red and softbuttons started glowing on and off. When plugged in normal charger for a couple of minutes, the led changed colour to normal and there was a picture of battery on the screen.
Hi,
Does anyone know any this is happening please.
When I try to turn off my phone by holding the power button then selecting Power Off. The phone shuts down then after few seconds it powers back up.
Thanks
Is it plugged into a computer or power outlet? That would cause it to look like it's turning back on, or maybe actually turn back on.
I have that problem from time to time. You need to open up your backplate, pull the battery out for a few seconds then place it back in. Should be fixed temporarily at least.
I was just surfing through the net, I left my phone on bed & went to the bathroom, came back and found that the display won't turn on. Pressing the power button caused the back,recent apps buttons to light up but that's it. Even the LED notification lights work whenever a notification came.
Note : I think the phone turns on properly when I hold down the power button bcz I hear sounds, the led blinks, the phone even vibrates. But the display stays pitch black all the time.
What I tried :
Take out the battery, leave it for a few minutes then put it back on and try to turn on the phone.
Take out the battery and hold down the power button for a minute then put the battery back in and try to turn on. This time the phone turned on but when I pressed the power button once normally to turn off the display, it won't turn back on.
Try to go to recovery mode (Power+Home+V. UP). This worked once too but when I cleared cache and rebooted the device, it didn't turn back on.
Try to go to download mode (Power+Home+V. Down)
Plug the phone to my PC through USB cable, PC detected it but nothing happened.
Sometimes the phone turns back on normally but after a while it dies again. I checked the battery, it's fine.
Please help I was using my phone when the screen suddenly goes off but the phone is on, the screen is blinking (lights up and off) continuously but it stays blank. I can open and close the screen by clicking the power button as you would normally do if you're checking the time on your phone. I tried pressing the power button for more than 15 seconds; tried the volume down + power button for more than 15 seconds, and tried the volume up + power button combinations. I tried it while it was connected to the charger and I also tried it without connecting to the charger. All it does is restart/boot my phone I know because it vibrates, but no logo, no display of the battery charging, but the notification light turns red when connected meaning it is charging. I can connect it to the computer also and it displays my device's model. But all in all the screen just stays blank and just keeps blinking (like lighting up and down). The phone wasn't dropped and it did not get wet by any liquid substance, when it happened the battery is up to 87% and I left the screen off for 4 hours before using it then it happened. I am out of solutions as I can't also reset it as there is no display even the logo and battery charging display are gone. But I know it is alive because I can turn it on and off and connect to the charger and pc. If anyone knows or can diagnose the root of the problem it can lessen my worries and maybe just resort to bringing this to a cellphone repair shop. Thank you. TT____TT
