When I pull the charging cable out of the A500, it automatically turns the device on. I can't find any place to stop that nonsense from occurring. Any hints on how to stop this from happening?
It should only turn the screen on if the device is already on and only in sleep mode (it assumes you want to use it if it's sleeping, charging, and you pull the plug). If it's truly off, it should stay off.

I've been told that charging the Titan while off is the best way - so the battery resets or something. I don't know if you have to do this everytime or just once and a while.
but i found that I turn my phone off, then while it's charging - it will mysteriously turn itself back on. The battery is not full yet, it just will randomly turn on.
So Is there a way to keep the phone off while charging? (I'm using a wall HTC adapter)
There is no reason to charge with the phone off. Also are you really turning the phone or or putting it in standby.
I hold the power button down till it says 'turn off , yes/no" and I push yes.
by the way what is standby?
push power button to turn phone screen off.
Some winmo phones turn on by itself, the titan and TP are 2.
I use S2U2 to lock the phone so the phone closes itself at a set time.
IMO, turning off your cell phone to charge ruins the point of having a cell phone for the time its off. Even if the phone's off, it'll still be draining a little energy.
Standby:
Phone is on. You press the power button breifly once. Phone screen turns off and phone goes into a low power mode.
Off:
Phone is on. You press and hold the power button and tap Yes when the dialog box asks if you want to turn off the phone. Phone then turns off completely.
If my phone is charging off a PC via USB it will sometimes awake from standby on its own. It doesn't do this when using just a charger. It does not turn on by itself though if fully turned off.
I only turn off my phone to charge if I want it to charge a little bit faster.
Sweet thanks for the replies.
I was just curious. But it turns out that my phone kept turning on, because my charger was on it's way out for some reason.
Tested it and it was only charging at a rate 50mA way less than the 1A label. And it was always super hot. So got a new one, problem solved, glad it didn't fry my phone

what you're referring to is calibrating the battery. to calibrate the battery, you need to charge your phone to 100%, let it die, then charge it to 100% while the phone is off. calibrating your battery resets the sensors inside which provide all the information about your battery, including remaining battery life. definitely a good thing to do every once and a while and you'll notice the difference
There aren't sensors inside the battery.
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.
Hi everyone,
I bought a Nexus 7 32GB last weekend and I think that it might be defective. When I turn OFF the device and than plug it in the wall, the device automatically turn ON on its own (every time). If I plug the cable and than turn OFF the device, I can see the battery sign. After a few second, the screen turns OFF but when I turn back ON the device, it didn't charge at all.
Is there something wrong with it? Is it fixable? Should I return it and get a new one?
When the device is ON, I can plug it and it will charge normally.
So this is sort of a weird issue, and my tablet has only started doing this recently.
When the tablet completely runs out of juice I plug it in. For whatever reason when I plug it in it tries to start up - I get the Google screen, then the boot up animation, then I get my home screen. It's at 0% battery so a second or two after this happens it shuts itself down. Then it starts itself up again - Google screen, boot up animation, home screen, shut down. It continues to cycle like this as long as it's plugged in. And because it does this it never ends up charging. It just cycles endlessly.
I've tried holding down the power button while it's plugged in. It shuts off, then proceeds to start up again. I try unplugging it, shutting it off, then plugging it back in, and it tries to start up again. I never see the battery charging screen that's supposed to show when it's off but charging.
Sometimes I can get lucky and turn it off at just the right time to keep it from turning back on again, and I'll get the battery charging screen, but I haven't been able to this time around.
Anyone know why it insists on trying to start up when I plug it in? I'd actually rather it NEVER did this and have it turn on when I choose it to.
Hello! I am running cyanogenmod and Timur Rom on 2012 N7. I have tasker to detect power on and power off but here's my trouble..
The N7 will only detect power when the display is on!?!?!?!
If the display is turned off or times out or is locked and I give it power, the display doesnt turn back on automatically. I turn it on manually with the lock button on the side and the battery shows no charge coming through.
With the display still on, i unplug and plug the power back in and it works fine!
I tested it on the PC. PC detects the N7 fine and sees the HDD. Even with the display off, the PC will detect the N7 and I can explore folders but the N7 still receives no power until I manually turn the screen on and unplug and plug the charger back in!
This is preventing me from doing the car dash install because I cannot depend on the N7 to turn on display automatically because it does not detect power with screen off. Only with screen on!
I have went through all settings a million times, tried every 101 troubleshooting step, and I cannot figure it out.
Please, please, please help me figure this out. It's driving me crazy! :cyclops:
