[Question] Charge Mode? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot seem to get my phone to just go into charge only mode. I haven't been able to for a while, is there a fix for this?

If you're talking about what I think you are, go to Settings, Applications, Development and uncheck Stay Awake. I had the same problem and that seemed to have fixed it.

This will allow for me to turn the phone off and plug in the charger and the phone will go into the "Charging" mode instead of booting up... mine just sits on the motor logo and never goes into that mode... I am using tenfars newest recovery and beta 4 gingerbread... not sure if those could affect this charging mode...

My guess is either 2.3.4 (i'm on the "ota" version and you're on hktw) or being unlocked.
Leaning towards unlock... but who knows. Anyone unlocked not on 2.3.4 have this issue?

Better question. Why are you turning it off to charge it? Just plug it in.

Sometimes u drain your battery to the point it shuts off. And sometimes you want a quicker charge. I don't think he needs to validate why though...

i had the same problem. i would drain the battery accidentally, plug the phone into the charger, and it would hang on the moto logo. i would have to pull the battery after letting it charge for a while and it would boot up.
i'm almost certain all you have to do is go into System Recovery and click on charge mode. i don't think it matters if your phone is plugged in or not. just give it time to reboot on its own.

I am not using the old version of tenfar, I removed that app after putting on the new recovery. I recall the last time I used it though I definitely used the charge mode...

Thanks but system recovery charge mode didn't work either and yea battery pull is and turning it it on without being plugged in is the only way to boot it.

i'm thinking its the unlock. Prior to unlocking I've never experienced such issues before.

I just uploaded a new rom and a kernel, and now I am having problems with my phone holding a charge. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I should do.

You know I never really got what the term "charge cycle " is, what os it? Is it when you recondition turn battery 3 times or what?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Go into recovery mode and in the menu there is an advanced go in then and wipe stats or you can get an app that does the same thing. Either do that. Then, drain the battery 'til dead (run a movie). Then fully charge That is a complete charge cycle. That will recondition it that is all you really need. Then also maybe get a task manager or something similar to be able and check and make sure there are not things running in the background check.
If the battery then is not holding a charge after this then..maybe the battery needs replacing
Charge cycle is from charged to dead to charged.

Hey thanks you all for responding to my thread. I have now just discovered that the phone will not even power up or hold a charge at all. I am thinking its the battery because the bionix rom and the kernal were still working before the phone shutdown. Any thoughts on this new development??

cause it isn't actually a fix, either unroot or live with clockwork recovery coming on when the phone is powered down.
for now anyway.
Try to enable "fastboot". This is how I got it to work for me.

This only started to happen when I got my extended battery. Go figure.

Removing charging mode

I know the title is slightly confusing, but is there any way to make my phone not going into that charging mode when you restart and the battery shows up? I know I can have it go into recovery, but I don't want it to do either,I just want it to go straight into booting up, just like my OG Droid used to do, any help would be greatly appreciated

In other words, if your phone battery dies you want it to boot when you plug it back in instead of going to the charge animation?

YES! EXACTLY! It's a feature i used to hate because of battery calibration issues, but i miss it so much!
Nope you can't (and shouldn't if you could), with the GB update however, once it's in charge mode you can turn the phone off now by pressing the button.

Sadly you can't boot until there is enough charge in the battery.... meaning you have to connect it, then remember to come back and turn it on so you don't miss calls, etc.

On froyo you had to wait 5 minutes, unplug then boot then plug back in. With gingerbread you can boot up right away from charge mode.

Did you calibrate your battery? You are supposed to everytime you install a new rom. Charge to 100 percent, boot to recovery, wipe battery stats, drain the battery down till phone powers off, plug it in and boot to android, charge to 100 again without break.

If you let the phone power down by itself, when you plug it in it will boot to the charge only screen. If you hold the power button as you plug it in and keep it held it will skip that screen and boot straight to android. And yeah, try not to use the phone while its charging.

So it didn't work for me I don't know what might be wrong
Edit: so I'm back on stock no root no nothing so I'm guessing it was either the root access or unlocking my bootloader do you have any issues with this on your phone if not can u lead to the files u have installed? Thank you in advance

Whats not working? The holding the power button thing? Thats ok, it doesnt screw up the process of calibrating. It will let you hold the power button and boot to android from the charging screen once it registers anything more than 0 percent. It also takes a few days of use after the calibration to really see a change. Youre just reading a little too far into it. Just boot to 100, wipe bat stats, drain it to 0, boot it back up and let it charge to 100. Use your phone normally for a few days after that and youll notice the difference.

Yes. It willmore than likely stop doing that after a few charge cycles. If it doesnt, report back =)

Okay so I went ahead and got a replacement battery from sprint today I'm on 6 hours of usage and I'm at 55% no battery drain I'm afraid that rooting or unlocking the boot loader did something to my battery do u think that's possible thanks for all the help @acvice

Phone does not stay off when charging

So I have the dreaded security warning issue from a botched unroot effort. I've been trying to fix it but my battery also needs charging. Only problem is that I can't seem to plug my phone in to a wall charger or a computer to charge without the phone turning on by itself. Does anyone know a way around this other than using someone else's phone to charge the battery then swapping?

I remember that being a problem with a certain version of Clockwork Mod Recovery. You will have to search to find a version that doesn't do that. Or use 4EXT.

This really isn't an option for me as all the phone will do is boot into hboot. I can choose power down from the menu, but then phone will simply boot right up again by itself.

Leave it plugged in to the wall. Take the battery right out of it.

I remember having to plug mine into the wall and let it keep boot looping until it finally stored enough power to boot normally. After that I switched to 4ext and haven't looked back.
