Hi, just bought a Yota 2 phone, i was just wondering why charging it when it's powered off causes the phone to boot....
Is it normal or could be an hw/sw issue? ( Same behaiviour after a system reset ).
any idea?
thanx
I just tried this on my device, and the same happened. So I guess you could call it a feature.

I believe it's normal, it does it with mine. Didn't worry about it as my old htc one x does the same thing.
Is it possible to disable it?
In another brands like Samsung or Motorola is possible to do so by editing a file placed in /system/bin, but i found none of these files.
I also wondered if it is possible to disable it, but haven't found any solution. Maybe it's on a kernel level so editing a file might not be enough, anyway I not an expert in this.

Hi there y'all,
my xda neo / Prophet is always blinking green while he has got an telephone-connection with my provider and i hate that blinkin light, especially in my bedroom.
Has anyone got an idea how to disable this? Is there any possibility via Registry?
Thanks for any help!
a piece of black tape perhaps?
Try
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\AllLEDMgr\Index
change the value to 0
__________________
I used LED Toggle which I attached. It works fine.
You do have to watch out though: disconnect your phone from power or your computer before you activate it. Using it once stops the light and using it again turns it back on.
It looks like the effect is gone after a softreset.
And another thing: some hours after using it my phone didn't respond at all for a few minutes. The only solution was a soft reset. This has happened several times now and when I keep the light on it seems to be working normal again. I don't know if it's just my Prophet but if you encounter the same problem we know where it's coming from.

Thanks Jay, your little program works perfect. I'll see if i'll get the same problem and report it here
niketkumar, thanks for your help. I first try Jays Software, if i get the same problems i'll use your registry hack.
Thanks to both of you from my girlfriend, too - cause now it's less greener in our bedroom
So? Any news?
I stopped using the software and my phone hasn't crashed once. How's yours behaving?
Had the exact same problem, when using LED Toggle my device occasionally hangs. Since I stopped using it everything works just fine..
Man, that just sucks. I was so happy to be rid of that stupid light.
Now about that registry hack. I can find everything up to "\builtin" but the rest (AllLEDMgr\Index) doesn't exist. Do I have to create a new folder with an index file which has the value set to 0 or what?
Don't remember if I've tried the registry hack mentioned above, but I followed the thread about this issue in Modaco and tried numerous registry hacks before ending up with the only solution (that I'm aware of) that currently seems to work.
Which, unfortunately is the LED Toggle attached above, which in hand makes your device quite unstable..
So, back to the drawing board guys - hope someone finds a solution!
Just checked the corresponding thread on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=243948&st=0) and indeed this solution is not working flawlessly on our beloved Prophets..
Why not just place it face down on your dresser at night?
this has to be one of the dumbest hack request on the site!!! do as blunt man said and put it face down if it's that annoying!

this has to be one of the dumbest comments i ever got in an professionals-board.
Jayxz, any of the workarounds i found generated problems so i just painted the light black. Not really the best solution but it sucked so badly
I find the green light annoying too, but i'd still like to have the orange warning when i received a msg or missed a call....
I hope that somebody could find a working solution for this
You can try the attached File i found at the MoDaCo Forum.
It works on my Prophet but some Users told that it drains the Battery

Hi to All,
my HTC TYTN II always blinking green while he has got on phone-connection with my provider, and i love that. But now i have xperia and...no blinking on phone connection. It is possible to made it blinking when phone connection with provider is on
Ever since I had this HTC Tattoo, I couldn't manage to calibrate the G-sensor and therefore the display doesn't turn when I rotate the phone.
I always get the message "Calibration aborted".
Do you guys have this problem? Did you find a solution for this?
Please help!
Reset phone
Already did it. Still not working.
Did you fix the problem yet, you could try a different rom or even reflashing the one on the phone already.
same problem here.....
I did try a different ROM, still nothing.
Then it could be a hardware issue. If I were you, I would've looked for a replacement.
have you tried holding the phone at a tilt and then calibrating?

Yep, I did try that. Still nothing. I think it's just a hardware problem.
I saw this in the Hero forum and I think it might help. There are 2 ways of checking a hardware fault with the G-sensor:
- either the Bubbles game which does not depend on the OS for sensor data
- or the Sensor Debug app.
If anyone of these apps gives you a good response from the sensor, then it is a software fault and you should harass HTC for a software patch. That's what the Hero guys did and it seems to have worked for them (in that case it seemed to be some kind of permission problem with the calibration log file).
Hi, this is my first post here I didn't have time (and will) to read the rules and everything, so I just hope that this is the right forum for this kind of request.
Since you guys have showed up to be people with nice expertises, I request your help to avoid going to any support center and spend money for something that by lucky means, may be fixed at home
The problem is that when doing some operations, the device freezes and no action can be done, whatever button I press or wherever I click with the stylo.
The only thing that can be done to restore for a while the correct functionality of the device is to remove and reinsert the battery.
I don't know exactly when this problem started to show up, because the device isn't mine, so I don't even know what can be the possible causes.
I have also to say that this problem occurred few times at the beginning, but now it happens more and more often making it impossible the use of the phone. Sometimes I even can't turn it on.
I've tried to substitute the battery, but with all of them, the problem remains.
After that I've tried the software reset, didn't solve anything.
The hardware reset didn't solve anything either.
I thought then that maybe the operating system was going nuts, so I tried to flash the device putting WM6.1 Stratos FE+ on it (of course, following the guide and without doing anything wrong), but nothing changed.
I don't know what else it could be, so before throwing this piece of garbage in the bin I ask here for the last sentence, if you can help me.
I have some pictures attached of the phone freezing and the screen tearing up (looks almost like The Matrix movie).
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
From my experience, i think your problem is due to CPU overheating.
There are similar threads on this forum, regarding your problem.
I advice you to check those threads.
have anyone fix that problem? i have the same problem, but 3months before i put a rubber between the cpu and the metal cover and it worked, but now again and the rubber dont help anymore
I didn't do anything still on my phone, I am waiting that somebody gives us an answer
The only thing I did was to reduce the backlight brightness, according to the problem this guy has on this other thread -> hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596927
But the only thing I've got after this is that the phone lasts a bit longer before crashing
trinity
also here.
somethimes I must leave it without battery an hour or so to power up again.
nothing help. reinstal everything twice. even in stand by it freeze...
it's a wtf problem .....
also I'm very curios for some remedy. I incline to believe it's a hardware problem .....
please if anyone know how to fix that problem then say it here please
I have same model and same problem, When i press and hold central navigation key and power key it power on,and it work,few minutes....
On Monday I will overheat cpu and you hear the results ... hopefully positive
yes, please let us know. And what you mean overheat the cpu? How?
I want to fix mine too...
Thanks !!
Dear friends, problem solved ... overheating of components on PCB...

THANK YOU!!!
I have exactly the same problem with my htc can any buddy help or any sujjestion in this regard.
I have the same problem however
First, I flash back to ship ROM WM5
Second, I try to increase CPU speed up to 420 Mhz by using Pocket Hack Master
http://www.wizcode.com/articles/comments/pocket-hack-master-speed-configuration-guide/
Everything is testing, if you have your experience pls share
File as attached:
1. Install *.CAB
2. Copy patch file into folder
I join with the same problem.
Nobody has an idea how to fix that error?
@ivanish: can u please share your solution!!
how u solved that freezing problem ? plz can u share ?
thinh30 its overheating problem of cpu as i experiance this freezing problem when media player is in use for long time or during usb connection with pc
i think cpu speed should be lowered to avoid overheating and not increased
it's not that , the screen connector is destroyed , i have the same problem , it's not CPU , use search , there were solved this problem few years ago

Take it in for repair mate, it could be the battery, usb charging port or even your phone. No way we can tell from here. Btw i think the S5 is a great device, you`re just unlucky, it can happen sometimes.

To be sure try to unroot in the TR/superSU app, flash a stock rom and data factory reset.
As the follow up reply above suggests, you need to start by separating software from hardware issues. You can probably find out a lot more information by looking at the system log i.e. run a logcat to get more verbose details about the charging error. Depending on what you find there, you could proceed to steps such as resetting the battery stats or the suggestions that follow in this post.
If you aren't willing to do a logcat then the first thing that you should try is booting to recovery mode and wipe the system cache That may well resolve your issue right there.
If not, then heed the advice in the previous post. Backup anything important to you, then flash a 100% stock ROM, followed by a factory data reset. If that resolves the issue then the cause was almost certainly corrupt system files or settings.
If the problem still remains, then you have to start looking at hardware causes, starting with trying a different cable, different battery, gently rocking the cable in the USB socket at the base of the phone to try and discern if the pins are bent or making irregular contact, etc.
Whether the problem would be repaired free of charge under warranty is uncertain as we don't know yet if the cause is an unexpected failure or something that might be attributed to abuse e.g. dropped phone or damage to the USB port from rough use.

How to set the phone to switch on when it is pluged to the charger?
I'm on cm 13 based rom, thanks for advance.
please any suggestions i searched alot but it didn't work ,in some devices there is a file located in system/bin named lpm but it doesn't exist in cm13 rom system files and i don't know what is its alternative in cm 13 by editing its lines you can do that,any idea ?
@MikeChannon any ideas ?
Don't know CM13 well enough I'm afraid.
Almost certain there'll be a system file edit to do it but without research I don't know.
Maybe another avenue to research would be this sort of thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp9G6A6EFlA
Not exactly what you're looking for although I suspect that would also turn the screen on if it was already on stand by.
Clues might also be gained from the numerous USB settings in com.android.
An easy way to identify them is by using something like:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en_GB
and use its 3 dot menu to search for USB. It shows at least 30 entries (most will be irrelevant of course)

so the only thing i'm seeking to is to turn the phone on when plugged into the charger so as to work with the car

What about the Wakey App?
It can be set to wake the device on charge and can also be set to stop the device sleeping and turning the screen off. I use it with Netflix casting otherwise the casting can get shut off when sleep starts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doublep.wakey&hl=en
Also, if you could look into what the app does (its code) you could potentially find your own tailored solution.

Haha well it depends what you mean by "switched on when it is turned off".
If you mean the screen is off and you want it to come on when plugged in then it can do that, it has the option "Charge Wake"
... but if you mean it is completely off then no it can't do that.

Exactly thats what i mean to wake the phone when its totally switched off by plugging it to the charger :laugh:
So we will return back to the first option sdk tools or editing system file to replace battery charge animation (when phone is off) by turning the phone on, you told me that through cm 13 rom we have no idea which system file would help,so if i changed the rom with another one may it help?

No and googling around suggests the cyanogen file name is not known. Maybe it's still the same in Lineage OS... might be worth asking there.
Don't suppose you have the kpoc file mentioned here:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26294258/auto-boot-when-wall-charger-is-plugged
If all else fails and this is a permanent in car fixture, I guess you could look at a hard wired dash switch or relay start button replacement.

Yes it will be a permanent car fixture but i see that doing it by editing system files is much easier than the other ways (wired switch or relay start button replacement) so ill try again but with different rom and searching for the mentioned system files and i hope to work with me, thanks alot for your time and support mike :good:
