Screen Off While Charging - HTC Aria General

For starters I have CM6 RC2 running on my Aria.
Second, I have searched the forum and found things that either confuse me or are not quite what I'm looking for. Hopefully you guys can help.
What I'm wanting to know is this; when I power down my phone and then plug it in to charge, the screen comes on with the boot menu. (Little Androids on skateboards, all that.)
Is there a way to have it simply be off, screen and all, while charging? Thanks in advance.

Leave the phone on and the screen will timeout be blank during charging. If you power off your phone and then plug it in to charge, you will get screen of your recovery app. The original charging icon was a part of the standard HTC recovery app. Since you replaced it with another recovery app when you rooted your machine, that is what shows when you are charging your phone.

I don't have Tasker yet, but does anyone know if you can set up a Task that will shut down the phone when it reaches 100% charge?

I belive Tasker can do that for you. Here is a related post in Tasker's support forum. http://groups.google.com/group/task...2aec9051?lnk=gst&q=shut+down#a18968812aec9051
Tasker is worth every penny and more. Lurk in that forum for a few days.

Tasker can definitely do this. I've had it doing exactly what you want for a while now.

Power off trick

I was pressing random buttons on my phone when it suddenly turned off. I was pressing Power + Vol Down + Trackpad at the time when it turned off. I booted up the phone and reproduced the same results again.
Did I just discover this or does everyone know?
That's the easy way to turn off the phone.

Hey, I'm new to the site and relatively new to Android. I had a Nexus One for a while, got rid of it due to not having a decent way to sync music to the phone and got an i*hone. Had that for about a year and just got rid of it since I was tired of living in the walled garden and got an HTC Incredible.
Also, my phone just froze up on me and I used this trick to shut it down and then restart it. Way easier than having to pull the battery and then restart. Thanks for the tip!!

Welcome to the site! I'm sure that you'll love the Incredible much more than the iPhony
I didn't know that it worked during a freeze also. I guess I'll do that instead of a battery pull the next time I press the "freeze for 5 minutes" button in Dev Tools on accident.
Keep on holding it to boot into debugging mode

It boots the phone into a mode where no apps besides system apps boot up, so u vs unistall any apps that prevent the phone from booting like set CPU if you overclock to high

cool tip, wish i knew this before i had to do my first battery pull...

A real brick of a phone.

Long story short, bought a DX at a good price hoping to flash and sell. Here's the best part, the phone will not charge or be reconized when its on by a PC. To makes things worse...I factory reset it hoping it would take care of the issue and when it boots, it boots to no home screen (black screen, white top bar). I can't sbf, can't load the home screen and it wont charge when on. It does charge when the phone is off.
Anything I can do? I just don't understand why it will charge when off but not on and because of that, there is no connection to the PC so no way of sbf'ing. Phone is currently 2.2, 30.03 bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated!

pm replied too hope it this helps.
i was just thinking of something. you may not need to do what i suggested in the pm i sent you.
try this FIRST!!!
charge the battery (obviously) and power up the device. if you cannot see the screen plug in a hdmi cable to your tv.
press the Menu key when you're at the Home screen or a pane, then select Applications -->Development. USB debugging to turn it OFF.
if it is already off....then turn it on.
either way hopefully when you plug it in the drivers will install to your pc. if not then follow the directions i sent you in the pm. goodluck.
note: i do not know if it will work as i do not use hdmi on my device. but hopefully it displays the homescreens on your tv.

Phone in Purgatory

Hello,
I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.
When my phone goes in to sleep mode, after about three minutes, it goes into limbo mode.
It is neither on or off. Only solution is to pull the battery and power it back on.
The only time it does not go in purgatory is when it is plugged in.
So I tried increasing both the CPU and the voltage. same problem.
I tried different roms and even went back to stock. Same problem.
Here is a screenshot.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any solutions?
I am out of ideas.
Thank you.
For one something is keeping your phone awake all the time. Do a Factory Data reset and try it for 2 hours without restoring anything. Then if it sleeps fine and doesn't have the Sleep of Death then add 1 or 2 apps at a time until you find the offending app.

Well something is keeping your phone from going into deep sleep and then locking the device up to where you need to pull the battery.
What is your setup? (ROM, kernel, CPU clock ranges, voltage ranges)
First suggestion would be to flash a different kernel and give that a go.
Second suggestion would be to start over from scratch and not restore data.
You do know purgatory doesn't exist right?
Anyways those are some creepy stats and as suggested previously going back to stock platform would be your best bet to see if your phone has a hardware issue

Looks like you tried correcting the wrong side of your CPU clock, the problem is likely your low end voltages (100, 200 MHz). It's a sleep of death; once the phone gets settled in to deep sleep, your low end voltages are acting screwy, and the phone can't kick itself into those to wake up. Pretty common when one goes about figuring out what voltages work for their phone.
And the battery graph? Those jumps are pretty normal for battery pulls on this phone. It tends to read the wrong battery voltage when it's soft reset (battery pull) as opposed to shutting down and turning on.

Your under-volting correct? if so your under-volting too much.
I had this problem when i was UV'ing a lot but only on GB. i could UV extremely on Froyo my 100MHz was @450mV and running at that state.
What are you looking at?

Haha, judging by the edited comments i assume it was brought up i posted from my epic touch? No worries lol.
Actually, i kept my epic and still carry it around with me nearly every day, believe it or not, especially since cm9 was posted. Ive been messing with ics apks, mainly trying to incorporate some asus live wallpapers and modding the trebuchet launcher. I love this little phone, the hummingbird was head of it's class, not mention it was my first android phone. Also, the wolfson DAC is just plain better then our Yamaha, so i also use it as my main car music player.

Thanks for all the suggestions eveyrone...
I was not undervolting.
I have tried to increase the voltage and removed the lower cpu mhz.. but I still got the "sleep of death."
I have tried different roms, kernals, etc... same problem
I am stock currently, tried factory resets, didn't install any programs... same problem.
As for the graph.. I kept the screen on so my phone wouldn't go into "purgatory"
Right now, I can only use my phone if it is charging, and if I keep the screen on.

Maybe your processor is fried? H'm that's strange.

Wow, well if you're completely stock I'd say you've got yourself a bad phone. The only other thing i would try is taking your SD card out.
If you still have the same symptoms, the replacement through sprint will be free if you have TEP or $35 if not.

Actually that did happen to me with a cheap battery Best Buy sent me. It would turn on and run on wifi but as soon as I turned on 3G and did anything needing it it would go black and had to pull the battery to get it to reboot.

Possibly some type of water damage in the phone? Possibly didn't drop it in water, but water does find its ways in. I got water damage in my phone from sweating while using it for music and working out. Also from listening to music while showering and the steam.

Charging Problem

This problem started with my phone a couple weeks ago. I seem to have problems charging my phone. I cannot charge my phone while it's off. If I plug it into a power source via the cable it turns itself on.
Sometimes it will not charge. It usually happens if I use the phone while it's plugged into something while charging. In the status bar it indicates it is not charging. To make get it to charge the battery again I have to take out the battery and restart the phone. Sometimes I have to do this a few times before it starts charging again.
I've got my phone rooted with CWM and i'm running CM7

Ugh, things are just not working out for me lately. All is moot now. My screen is broken. Looks like I won't be talking to anyone for awhile and my job search just got more difficult. FML
i've gotten a replacement fascinate. i forgot i had insurance. neh4pres... do you know where i can a copy of that eh03 radio? every link i've found seems to refer to the same one and that link has been down. i'm itchin to get ICS on my phone now and i can't get that radio.
What radio do you have now? From what I've read you should be fine on ICS with EC09, or the previous one which I can't recall the name of (or EH03 obviously). Earlier ones might work too, I don't know, but I think those three most recent are recommended. Sorry I can't help with a link or anything, I've just got the EC09 one at the moment.
Try this. QUOTE=imnuts;23171512]Found that I had downloaded the original EH03 file when it was posted, so I uploaded it for people to use (and provide a mirror). Enjoy

my replacement fassy is completely stock and came with an EH03. does that actually simplify things?
Yeah if you're already on EH03 than I wouldn't worry about the radio. If you get the itch to try out ICS, check out droidstyle's guide, it has everything to get you up and running. I recommend AOKP or teamhacksung's ICS (on rootzwiki).
I'm on ICS hacksung's 6.5 build!!! Yes! Thank you so much for helping this noob!
No problem, THS 6.5 is a great rom!

Phone locks up when...

When ever I go to plug my phone in to charge if I plug it in and the screen isn't on the phone locks up and a battery pull is required to reboot. I'm on stock gingerbread 2.3.3 no mods themes root or anything. Is any one else experiencing or noticing this problem while running gingerbread?

Yup... Sorry it's happening to you, but glad to know it's not just me! But, that helps us narrow it down to being something in the rom itself and not a mod. I've been trying to get a log to see what is going on, but so far the logs just stop the instant I plug it in... No errors or anything. I've just gotten in the habit of of making sure the screen is on! Lol

I'm experiencing this too.. I've found that if you have the ticker grip sensor enabled you can manually turn on the ticker then expand it and the screen will turn back on.
