Please tell me you mean "...but plugged in" right?..
If so then no. The battery needs to be in to power on, even when plugged in.
Are We Not Phones?
We are EVO.
ARE WE NOT PHONES?!

...most things that run off battery, won't run without it.

The only android device that i seen run without battery was the OG droid, I was quite baffled lol.
Edit: With the charger plugged in, which should be obvious.
Dang, we got a bunch of jerks in here huh?
I just tried. Without a battery (but with the charging cable plugged in), the phone does NOT turn on.
I heard somewhere that they do this because many smartphones are capable of drawing more current than a USB port can provide, so a battery is required (other wise the phone would just mysteriously power off if using too much juice).
Hope this helps!
I'm sure he meant "but still plugged in." I've actually never tried it though.
I can see where he's coming from though. A laptop will turn on with the battery out of it but it being plugged up to power still. Maybe that's his line of thinking about the phone.
Last phone I had that can run plugged in without a battery was a metropcs phone. Its a good idea though, it would save battery wear life.

Just wondering what the spread is on people that were patient enough to wait for that green LED light before powering on your device as HTC's support site recommends.
I didnt. lol
I was playing with the thing until it almost died, then plugged it in and kept playing.
Couldnt help myself.
I just got mine and it's been charging for about 40 minutes. I'm DYING to turn it on!!
I wasn't. I don't have any issues with the led not turning green either. I ran it to shutdown day one and all seems well as far as battery. In fact, I'm impressed with the battery life which has gotten better over the past few days.

If i had that kind of restraint I wouldn't have stayed up late to order the phone
My guess is that "No, I powered it on immediately." is going to take it.
It's been on since day one, save a few restarts.

This is exactly what I did, lol.
I didn't. I got 2 days on a single charge with heavy usage. I'm happy.
nope, got it and started using it for phone calls for about an hour till i got home then plugged it in and got all my apps downloaded and everything else set the way i wanted it.
Yep, came home Friday and got it off my doorstep to plug in. Got home 4 hours later to a full battery and enjoyed.
What is recommended for the battery? Should you start it when you first get it and drain the initial charge then charge it? Or fully charge it before using it?

Thank you, I just remember back in the day the instructions always said to fully charge before use
Did you have to calibrate the battery like you did on the Evo?
I just got through the day.. I mean usually I get about 9 hours but yesterday I got this.

That doesn't count. It showed that you charged half way through. Post a pic without charging in the middle of the day.
What's wrong with the other thread regarding battery life?

It is true that I charged mid way through the day but that was only to transfer files from my SD to my computer, after that it was back off for the rest of the day. Still pretty nice, I looked at my battery usage and I freaked.
Yeah, I don't know what people's problems are either...I am in a perpetually low-to-very-low signal area 95% of my time and I still can hit 24 hours with moderate use almost every day if I have to.
...luckily I don't have to. I have 2 micro usb chargers on my night stand (one for nook color, one for phone), another at my computer down stairs, another in my truck and another 2 on my desk at work (one USB on wall charger)...but if I need to I can.
Given harsh circumstances I bet I could hit 2 days...I did on my OG evo easily(granted underclocked with a UV kernel and power-save governer) by toggling 3G off when not in use (that's a big one) and obviously all other radios (no 4g ever, bluetooth off, wifi off unless I have a network handy), dim the screen.
I think people just have 'ucked up expectations...this battery is effing huge.
The battery life is pretty great on this phone I won't lie. I can play music all night and go the next day without a charge.

Gday again guys,
Yesterday, my Nook Overheated and turned off when i picked it up, it was roasting hot and i could barely touch it. I charged it in the morning but when i went to use it at lunch time, it was mega hot and had 8% Battery Left (from a full charge).
Has anyone else had this problem, because i cant imagine it being good for my Nook.
The other question i have, is it possible for us to disable the Phone/Cell roaming & data functions on CM7. I dont see it having much point there, and its only using battery life?
Cheers guys! Steve

thats definitely not normal, i would advise towards going to a b&n store, explain your problem and get a replacement. sounds like a hardware issue rather than software. of course erase everything and revert back to stock before you go to a b&n store.
Sounds like the battery has an internal short. Return

Its never happened before just the other day, my problem is that i dont live anywhere near America! so i can just 'return it'. I am currently working in Egypt, and i live in England which makes things mega hard.
Is there any chance it could just be a one off?
Really?????

Since the standard voltage in Egypt is 220v, are you plugging into that? I'd be suprised if the charger is rated for that.

Stock charger is 100V - 240V, 50Hz/60Hz
One obvious question: Do you have a cover or case for your nook? Some aren't properly vented and can cause overheating.
Yeah dude I have a cover but I don't think that effects it at all. This has only happened once. I think a program malfunctioned and used up loads of CPU which overheated it. Do you guys use any task managers to monitor what's using your CPU/memory.

Hey guys, I've been having a strange issue with my amaze... I currently have Android Revolutions sense Rom, with faux v022... Well my title says it, after I finish charging, after it INDICATES it being 100%, I unplug and wait. 5 minutes later it would be down to 95%.... It continue to drop fast and stop then slow down.... And decrease fast again... I'm guessing the indicator is malfunctioning... I'm also reading the voltage of my battery when fully charged (i have a 1900mah banker) and it would hover at 4100-4200v... I feel that's a little low for it.. anyone else experiencing this issue too? Anyone got a fix for this? I'm getting really frustrated with this false reading/fast draining of my battery... Ive tried calibrating, fully decharging and recharging... New Roms, new kernels, stock kernel... Am I missing something here?

With an anker, what you're describing sounds pretty typical from what I've read on these forums. They don't behave like a typical oem battery. How long does it last? Worse then stock?
Yes, its an anker issue. Every amaze anker user will tell you the same thing like you described.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Hey thanks for the responses! The phone definitely lasts longer than the stock... I gues ill just have to live with the whacky reading.... Haha.. on average I'm getting 18+ hours off this battery... Just wish there was a fix to this but oh well! Thanks again for the response again!!

I have been using an anker battery, I'm running Fourth bar with faux kernel. So far this is the best battery life I've ever had. I used my phone quite a bit yesterday and even watched an hour of Netflix this morning.

My G3 is at 45% and it says it's gonna take over 7hrs for it to fully charge.
Before anyone ask, yes..i am using the OEM charger and cable that cane with the phone.
I'm on my second G3 and really don't feel like exchanging this one for another one...

Are you using your phone while it's charging? Is it at a high brightness?
When my G3 is charging and I'm using it (redditing, XDA, Clash of Clans, etc.), my charge time is pretty insane as well.

THIS plus if your outlet is weak or not getting enough power it will take forever. I had a surge protector and mine was plugged into the last slot and was taking forever to charge until I checked it with a meter and found the last slot was weak and under powered. Tossed the whole thing out and have had no issues at all.

Yeah i was using it checking email and forums, but still didnt think it would take this long to charge. And in reality it didn't. I mean it took a little long but nowhere near 7hrs to charge. Maybe like 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hrs to charge...and thats with me using it. So i guess that would be normal in all actuality. The time estimate that the phone displays is just off its mark.

Hmm...this also interesting because i do have the charger plugged into a power strip. When i charge it today, i will plug it directly into a wall socket and see if that makes a difference as well.
