when I charge my radar, it automatically switches on even though I switched it off before charging. like as in REALLY on, I can do whatever I want on it, not just showing the battery bar or something. its like it auto switches on when I charge it. is this normal? is there a way to make it "stay switched off" while charging?
That is normal behavior. The battery symbol method only shows up when your battery is completely drained.
That's normal and is universal for all WP phone, I think. I used to have Dell Venue Pro and if you plug in the device without the battery, it will still boot up.
but is there anyway to make it not boot up? coz my mom's phone, HTC Desire if I'm not wrong, doesn't boot up when she charges it while it is switched off.
oops sorry didn't read ammapeen88's post properly. thought it was standard for all HTC phones. thanks anyway guys!

I rooted my previous phone, a HTC Aria, and then whenever I turned it off and plugged it into the charger it would turn on with that annoying green screen with the options to doo all the boot level stuff (my mind is blanking and i cant remember what it was called...).
If i were to root my GSII, would there be any way to not get that screen when plugged in and turned off?
that does not happen on the sgs2.
It would just charge and show an animation of battery charging.

Yup just shows the green battery charging GIF just like non-rooted stock
Thank you both!
The first time I've allowed my battery to get very low since installing CM7 on my HTC Merge and I'm now having all sorts of problems.
Firstly my screen won't light up. It's just completely black. The phone is on and the 4 buttons at the bottom light up but that's all. The phone is still responding to my touch as I can load apps and hear noises if I happen to touch the correct parts of the screen. It's almost as if the brightness has been turned way down, but I'm unable to see the controls to try turning it up again. I have tried booting to recovery mode but that doesn't display either.
Secondly the battery won't charge. Since the battery is drained I can only get the phone on when it is plugged in, but the orange "charging" led at the top of the phone never lights up. It just casually flashes like it ordinarily would have done when it was running from the battery. I have two batteries and they're both doing this.
I can't be 100% sure that these problems are due to the installation of CM7 but I've never experienced it before so i'm guessing they're connected.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get my phone working again.
It's also worth mentioning that it is also no longer recognised by my computer
Sounds like a hardware fault, if you have the same issues in recovery as you do in your os then its very unlikely its ROM/software related
I don't your device nor have I taken it apart so its only guesses I could give you on which component needs to be replaced, LCD or flex cable are best guesses

Want to update on this as I've just had another look at it after a while.
With the battery having completely drained, I connected the phone to charge via my PC and the orange charge light lit up and the phone went into recovery mode without any assistance from me. After about 2 seconds the screen went off again.
When the battery has charged sufficiently, I am once again able to turn the phone on and it boots up... but the screen remains blank.
If I discharge the battery and then plug it into my PC, I am able to repeat the appearance of the recovery screen, but it always vanishes before I am able to do anything.
The screen must be surely be functional or how would I get those 2 seconds of display ?
Does anybody have any ideas of what I can do to get the phone working again?
I acquired a new battery and after fitting it the phone immediately worked again. The battery was completely without charge but the phone charged it up without any problems. However, as soon as the power ran low the same thing happened; the screen has stopped working and the battery doesn't seem to charge anymore.
So basically yesterday I forgot my charger at work, and my phone fully discharged... you know, that fully part where if you try to turn on you get the 3 blink red led notification.... So today morning I finally got to put it on charger, but a weird kind of stuff happened.... I plugged it in, it was a red LED blinking (I assume charging, but can't turn on due too low voltage) this went on for a minute, then it turned itself on (I got the Legacy Xperia 4.4 ROM). I could see the battery charging animation for a minute, then it turned itself off again, like it ran out of battery again. then the same thing happened from the beginning over and over again.. I even tried to put it in the CWM so it doesn't boot the charging animation thing, it still turned off after like 30 seconds...
Now I'm stuck with a dead battery phone, and I have no idea what to do.
I would appreciate any kind of help, because I can't really work without my phone now.

EDIT: So now I instantly turned off the screen so it doesn't show the animation and doesn't drain the battery, it seems to charge now, will keep editing if something happens..
EDIT2: Phone LED is now orange... which means above 15%... I think it'll be fine now....

Charge the battery with a battery charger( it costs like $1 in my country ) and then flash a rom for which you are sure that it has offline charging.. and that too working

My phone's battery just died while charging. No idea how it happened, but apparently it wasn't charging at all, even though it displayed a charging icon.
Now it's turned off and it won't charge. When I plug it in, it turns on, displays the screen with the big battery, as usual, but only for a few short seconds. Then it turns itself on, even though it has no power, and shuts itself down immediately after it turns on, meaning it never charges. Then it goes t the big battery screen again, then turns itself on etc. and this goes in a circle for all eternity.
What do I do? I have no battery charger and I don't have any friends with a SGS3
(I'm running UltimaROM 17.1, in case that's related, which it might be, since I jut flashed it yesterday morning.)

You say you plug it and this happens? But what do you plug in when you wrote this: "I have no battery charger and.." ?
The battery could be dead or maybe it is also the dock connector! I don't know. FIrst buy a new battery. It's not a big deal
Or you try to search for someone who has an S3 and try it out
Good luck!
I meant I have a charger for my phone, like with a USB cable, but I don't own a charger that only charges batteries. Thanks for the quick reply, but I fixed it already. It wouldn't boot to recovery because the battery was completely empty, but with some fast finger-work I managed to plug it in and get it to boot to recovery before the battery screen. Since recovery doesn't use up battery as much, it started charging without shutting down and it's fine now
