[WARNING] CWM 4.0.1.5 battery dont charge while phone is power off (for some people)

hello
just to say that with ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5 the phone dont charge the battery when is power off.
thanks
EDIT:
tried to charge with phone off, and work. (with some energy on battery)
but i did had the problem, because i drain the battery to ZERO, and with ZERO battery couldn't charge

Mine does. I did it last night. I drained my new battery dry. And charged it last night with power off because I couldnt even turn it on the battery was so dead. Woke up this morning to a fully charged battery.

My phone does it too.

Same here, mines fine

Keep fastboot checked!!!

+4 works fine here.
OP, please change the title of your thread to "doesn't work for ME (or some people)" as it is misleading.

Defeats the point of wanting to turn the phone off. I prefer to turn it off when I tell it to! Having said that, I never turn my phone off so isn't an issue

+5, works for me too.

didnt work for me...
I drained my battery completely, when I plug it in, the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.
put it 8h on wall charger, and didnt work...
i had to use this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198585

This just happened to me. Kept blinking heaps. So unplugged phone, boot it and instantly plugged in charger and worked after.

I just had my phone at 73% and powered it off and even booted into HBOOT to make sure it was off then pulled the battery. Plugged it in and the orange light came on and stayed on for a bit. I then pulled it after about 10 minutes and powered up the phone, and I was up to 84%

Why do so many people insist on charging the phone while its off? I've never understood this.I have had many devices and have NEVER powered them off to charge, never had to replace any batteries either?

I think its because it charges faster when its off. (idk it could be placebo ) I only charge mine when it is off when it dies. So is it safe to say that the issue is fixed ?

Yeah. I think it does charges but then theres no light. and you can't turn it on while it's plugged in ):

I've never let my battery die tbh, Always carry a 10cm micro usb lead with me as i always have access to a usb port

I did last night on purpose because I am testing an after market battery.

I let my battery died completely last night. When i charge it, it just blink like 5 times, and stopped. So i took off the battery and use a different charger to charge it. The orange light turned on for like 5 sec and disappeared. I thought it just need a little charge. I left the charge overnight. I tried to turn on the phone when i woke up, but it didnt work. I took the cable off, then take out battery and pput it back in. And the phone turns on and fully charged. So I guess the phone does charge, but the indicator light is not just working.

Sensation LED blinking but phone not turning on

My phone turned on with my friends battery but when I insert my battery the phone only blinks a red led and won't turn on. It happened shortly after installing bricked kernel and 4ext recovery

Hi,
That would suggest that your battery is flat.
Why don't you plug the charger in for half an hour ,then try booting again.

Yeah like above said your battery is dead, as soon as the light stays solid it means you can start your phone. Depending on how badly its drained itll take like 15 mins while being plugged into AC. This usually happens to me while playing a game and i dont notice the low battery lol

exactly the same thing happened to me just now...
Strange thing thou was that the phone was connected to the charger all night long and I just removed it from the charger
Charging right now... lets wait a bit
-update
Charger seems to have died in action.....
what was your outcome adiallo77 ?
-update 2
Charger started to work fine again ...
I'm confused now

I had the same problems when I first install cwrecovery, after a night in the charger it was working fine again

I just started having this problem with my phone. The battery is not charging at all, my phone won't turn on, but the red light is blinking. I have been reading and trying all day everything I could find in xda, but still no results. I can't remember which ROM I installed last, but it has stock kernel, ICS probably virtuous.

This usually happens when your battery has drained completely.
Here's what you need to do. Put your phone on an hour long charge before trying anything.
Don't put the phone for charge on the PC or in the car, but use the standard wall charger that was provided with the phone. Whatever happens, don't pull the phone off charging.
After an hour of charging is completed, switch on your phone as you normally would, without unplugging the charger. Your phone should be fine.
Let it charge to 100%, calibrate your battery and perform a restart to maintain the right graduation for battery levels.

Have you tried a different battery?
Have you checked if the battery fits tightly?
EDIT: Too many of these recently. We need to find the source!

i don't have an extra battery but the one i have does fit. I'm gonna see if i can find me another battery borrowed.

Does the orange light continue to blink after a few minutes? I had this problem a while ago but the light would blink for about a minute and then stop, then the battery wouldn't charge and my phone wouldn't turn on.
What I ended up doing was putting my battery into my Desire HD and charging it for 15 min (aligning the pins and just holding the battery down since its too big to fit in the HD and letting it charge) and then I put it back into my sensation and it would pick up charge.
I would suggest getting an external charger and letting the charger bring your battery up to 5-10 percent then putting it back into the sensation and try to charge it/see if your phone will turn on.

The same thing has just happend to my gf's sensation XE, she left it on all night charging, now it wont turn on, tried everything. Its all stock since day one. might have to send it back, her last HTC phone broke too (wildfire), Any tricks to try and get it to turn on?
The lights come on at the bottom keys, but no display ?

[Q] Roms and battery life - Unable to start phone

Hi,
I have recently tried out a few ROMs with my Nexus S to try to get better battery life. I tried CodeName Android and then figured I would try Slim ICS afterwards. I completely wiped everything and installed Slim ICS.
I have observed the following:
- Battery was ~40% when I installed Slim ICS
- I used it until the battery depleted
- Plugged phone into the wall charger
- Started the phone shortly afterwards (~25 minutes) and it says battery is 100% and then the phone randomly shut off
- Phone has been plugged into the wall charger and when I try to start it now sometimes it boots completely and then shuts off. Other times it just shuts off before it finishes booting up. The few times it does fully boot up, it says the battery is 100%
I've read through many postings about calibration but at this point I am not even able to fully turn on the phone even when its plugged into the wall.
Is this expected or is something else going on? I've never seen anything like this when I had the stock ICS. Why would erroneously report 100% but then not even let me fully turn on the phone? Thanks!

Maybe a bad battery?

Battery is fine. I ended up letting it charge a few hours and it now fully boots up and battery is almost fully charged now.
Whats strange is at times, when the battery was close to empty, when turned off and plugged into the wall, it showed the battery as being completely charged so I don't think it was charging. I had never observed this behavior with the stock ICS.

If it happens again I would suggest taking it to a sprint repair

same problem
Even I have faced the same problem whenever I reboot keeping my pfone charging,
This is very normal,
just let the battery drain completely and next time charge it till 100% it will work perfectly,
It happens with me whenever I install new rom.
basically the battery indicator shows incorrect status also battery will drain very quickly later but once you finish installation just let your phone charge for 3 hours . Problem will get solved

Also, you could try clearing the battery stats in clockwork mod recovery

Thanks. So it sounds like its more of a generic issue with ROMS in general as I never observed this before putting on a custom ROM.

[Q] HTC Desire HD dead !

hi,
I installed the xperia Z jelly bean v6 ROM and it looked awesome. but my battery started to drain in a matter of minutes. i plugged it in the charger, still the batter went down to 0 but the phone was alive. As soon as i plugged out the charger, the phone shut down. I tried to turn it on twice, both times it turned on, came to the lock screen and powered off.
after that, it is not starting up, neither is it charging, i dont see the charge led. I have read other forums to boot it into boot loader or plug it in the charger without battery and then put the battery back in, left it for charging over night as well. none of it is working.
Does this mean only my battery is dead or does it mean that my phone is fried?

Had the same issue, too.
Phone went off, mostly when trying to wake or unlock.
happened with sense and aosp roms.
Turned out that the battery behaved weird (also using Anker).
Just changing battery (still have stock one) seemed to solve the issue.
What I did was as follows:
- boot into bootloader and let the phone untouched until it shuts down due to low battery
- charge battery while phone is off till led is green + 1hour
- unplug, boot and after it has booted switch off phone again
- charge battery for another hour
Currently no issues with my Anker battery

keep a piece of business card (I kept a panadol strip) between the top of the battery housing and the battery.
SIMPLE AS THAT
