ext4 before rom- broke charge?

After i did the ext4 mod (system etc. Not partition) before the rom i can't charge my phone while it's off. it stays as a grey battery. i also restored to another rom and still the same thing. i tried to two different phones. same on both.

Im having the same problem but it seems to charge just fine when your inside the rom. I'm running bionix frost.

I'm getting the same issue. I have to take out the battery, unplug the usb/charger, then power on phone to get it to power on. If I don't do this it will keep going back to the huge battery screen if I press and hold the power button.

this is one of the problems
its because of the rom, im looking into a fix now

i read in the ext4 mod thread thats an issue with charging when its off. the phone doesnt look for the ext4 format so it doesnt charge unless the phone/rom is booted up or something like that, not sure about any workarounds.

Are you sure its not charging? Or just the green charging animation is broke? Cause mine looks like what your talking about but it actually does charge. Did it last night powered up the phone this morning and it was at 100%

its simple yet slightly complicated
im not sure if the ext4 converter i gave you guys will allow the fix, i ended up finding another ext4 formatter(which is where i got the rfs formatter to go back to orginal state)
and with the new ext4 formatter i had to flash a rom twice in a row
this made the system into rfs but left data and cache at ext4, i guess system doesnt need to be ext4 for the phone to perform well because i still got the same quad scores

The phones are meant to do that...I think. Both this phone and my vibrant act that way while its turned off charging. Just unplug the phone and hold power button till it reboots.
Sorry but I'm not talking about the animation...just your other issue

Yea I got that same problem with having to take out the battery if I try to charge with it off. It locks up at the charging animation. We will probably see a fix soon enough, not that big a deal though.

[Q] samsung galaxy s 4g hard brick

Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy s 4g. A green screen came and i removed the battery and reinserted but the phone doesn't respond at all. I t is completely unresponsive to any buttons. Please help me if any one had a similar problem and recovered from it.

Hi, what happened before the screen turned green? Were you installing a new ROM, already running a custom ROM, overclocking/underclocking, or anything?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

You will have to odin it. It sounds like you will have a black screen when doing this. I so take battery out plug usb in to pc and phone put battery in and immediately hold the down volume button. This will get you into download mode and odin should recognize your phone. Flash your rom and you are good to go. I had a problem like this, I was using odin and my son unplugged it causing a complete black screen.

I've had my share of the black screen install.... Heart still drops until the progress bar pops up

Screen freeze on wake

I recently flashed weapon g2x rom. Everything was cool til I woke my phone and tried unlocking it but the screen was unresponsive. I do a battery pull phone starts up up and screen is fine. Screen goes to sleep so I wake it up and try sliding to unlock but its unresponsive. Please help. BTW I am not putting any blame on weapon rom Dev team.

Did you properly wipe before you flashed the ROM? Is this happening on a clean install? (No apps)?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Followed the install instructions verbatim. BTW I was stock GB before flashing. Happened before I dloaded any apps. Now it freezes when making calls. When I take the phone away from mg ear the screen is unresponsive.

You might have a defective device. Does it tend to get hot whenever it locks up? How long have you had this issue for?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Flashed the rom 3 days ago and issue started today. Had this phone for 3 months. Doesn't get hot or even noticeably warm. I got the go locker app with ics lockscreen. After i wake it up its unresponsive for about 30 seconds then the backlight dims and becomes responsive again. Weird. Maybe restore back to froyo(nandroid)? Thanks for your replies.

Try reformatting your phone, then flash again

Reformat? You mean wipe everything? Through cwm?

Yep that is what he means. If you were on Froyo you may need to do the update and get the current Baseband.

Okay I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks guys

Hey this may sound silly but if it's only the lockscreen not responding and you stating you are using the ics lockscreen, did you try with the default lockscreen to rule that out first?

Not silly at all. I tried the original lockscreen that came with weapon rom. I would wake the phone with no response but with go locker LS the screen responds after 30 seconds of unresponsiveness. Its weird but I don't think its a hardware issue. I'll post back after I restore back to Froyo. Thanks again guys
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yeah i agree, don't think it's a hardware issue. Restoring back or trying another rom would be a good test. Another question..are you using setcpu or any other app with a screen off profile?
Edit: Went back to read all the symptoms again and i had a similar situation and it was because my phone could not handle the lower voltages on the min freq with a few kernels. Morfic upped the lower freq voltage on his kernel and it has been working perfectly since. Worth a try.
Try this one: ELPmax 20122011 (1.1GHz Battery Saver w/ voodoo sound)

Tried flashing kernel and phone froze on Trinity load screen. Restored to nandroid but no luck. Updated to stock GB but no luck. I'm starting to think might be a problem with proximity/ light sensor cause of how the phone freezes up after I pull the phone away from my face after a call. Guess I'll send it to Texas for warranty repair.
Thanks to those that tried helping.

Did you format the "system" before flashing the new rom? Weapon works with no issues for me. I would stay away from custom kernels for now, until you have isolated the issue.
I would suggest backing up your user apps using titanium backup and installing them one by one to find the issue. Let the phone run a while between installing each app. Maybe even reboot each time. Also try fix permissions.
I know nothing about Go Locker, but is sounds like that is a good place to start.

Thank you. I'll give that a try. I definitely don't think it has anything to do with weapon rom. Awesome rom BTW.

[Q] Is my droid charge charging?

My phone is boot looping right now and w. the phone off I plug the phone into a power source and this pops up on the screen. I was just wondering if its charging while this screen comes up? I'm asking because usually u can c the the battery icon filling up with a green meter going through it. Anyone?

It's not AFAIK. Charging while off is still controlled by the kernel. If it won't boot, then the phone has some kernel/ROM problems, and therefore won't charge.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

It should still be charging, but if that screen stays up and the screen won't turn off, it will not charge very fast, if at all (depends on the charging method).

Download and flash stock 2.3.6 odin with pit file.. Boot.. Flash newest recovery.. Flash ROM of choice via new cwm.. Profit (who Cares if its charging)

Agreed when my phone was soft bricked that battery icon screen came up so they I thought it was charging but it really wasn't. When I finally got the phone into a working state the thing was pretty much dead.

Unresponsive screen

Anyone experiences randomly unresponsive touch screen after wake the device or try to pick up a call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Are you rooted? Custom ROM? How many background apps were running at time? I have had it go blank on me but it is always looking at Facebook pics....needs update....anyway..but never unresponsive. On that note let me update my sig so everyone will know my specs.

I have heard of people complaining about this when there phone is plugged in but not otherwise maybe a bug? Or defective
