Hello all...Long time lurker, not alot of posts....Yes I searched. I sent in my N1 to HTC for alot of Dropped calls and overheating. Got new phone back and my dock wont charge the phone. Is there a setting I missed? Is it because of Froyo FRF91 is what I have? Does anyone else have this issue? I saw a guys car charger wont charge of Froyo....If i plug it in directly to the USB it will charge fine. Thanks in advance.
Wiggle it in the dock a bit, or hold it down.
The dock really sucks imho. I hate him. I can have it working fine, I get a txt that vibrates and it disconnects. Heck the phone fell off the dock one time cuz of vibrate.
Ive tried all of the above. And Im not crazy about the dock Either but I was about to get the car dock as well and .....Hell I paid 50 bucks for this thing!
I'm not a fan of the desktop dock either. I find I hit the power button to put it to sleep and as I take my hand away it shifts in the dock and wakes up again.
That said, the car dock is quite good. Holds the phone very solid yet is easy to get the phone in/out.
The built-in bluetooth speakerphone works fine ... sounds like a speaker phone but it works. Another feature is that it holds the phone in a way that leaves the camera pointing at the road ahead ... want to record that idiot driver ahead of you just fire up the camera.
The only issue I've had is that when using navigation in the hot sun while the battery is charging it has overheated a couple of times (i.e. rebooted without warning). Now I disconnect the charger unless it is needed and have not had the issue.
P.S. Neither dock work with cases ... probably fine with the skins though.
I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
I've charged my Nexus7 overnight on three occasions. Plugging it in before I went to bed (~1AMish) and getting it on my way to work (~8:30AMish). Out of those three times, on two of them, when I went to get my tablet the unit was powered off. I know for a fact that when I plugged it in, it was on, and no one touched it in the meantime.
The most recent occasion was this morning.
On all three occasions, the unit still had 40-50% battery life left.
On two other occasions, I've charged it during the day for a few hours, and it was fine.
Additionally, I've never had the unit turn itself off overnight when it wasn't plugged in. And I'm using the charger/cable that came with it.
Lastly, the first occasion was on the stock kernel/rom, and the second was on the motley kernel (but stock ROM).
So it seems like something is causing the unit to power itself off if it's on the charger for too long. This is concerning, because the only thing I can think of is that it's overheating and shutting down as a protection mechanism.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Plugged mine in for the first time last night at 11:30. Slept till 8, hit the power button and everything was fine.
Basically, no issues here.
Was it fully charged when you switched it back on? I ask because I shut mine down for the overnight charge last night (plugged into a laptop, not the wall - there's only one socket near the bed and my battery-sucking phone gets that juice), and when I woke up it had only gone from ~30% battery to 55%.

I had this happen to me on the first unit I had... I was actually using stickmount to transfer some data and left the usb adapter plugged in for about an hour and when I picked it back up it was DEAD.... I could not get it to boot up at all until I did the recovery (power/volume) method and then everything was fine but I returned it anyways cause of a defective screen... I am now on my 3rd unit from Sam's Club and I think I might have a keeper...? (Knock on wood) :fingers-crossed:

Yes, it was at 100%.
Keep in mind that charging via computer's USB port takes much longer. Maybe your laptop went into sleep mode and shut down power to the USB port?

Nope, my fiance's phone was plugged into the same laptop and it was fully charged in the morning. And as a general rule, I've never known the computer to automatically sleep while on AC power, even when the screen is closed.
Thank god i'm not the only one experiencing this. My nexus 7 always seems to turn off after I leave it overnight plugged in for charging. I thought it was a kernel issue but i've switched kernels and i still experience it. Still unsure as to what is causing it.
Same here. Its odd it only seems to be for an extended period of time. Also my battery was indeed fully charged. Should I exchange at Sam's?

There is nothing else wrong with the tablet. I have a feeling it could be some sort of hardcoded feature where if it notices that you're plugged into the wall charger with 100% battery and the tablet is in deep sleep for a certain period of time, it automatically shuts down.

Ikr. First time it happened to me I was like wtf? It might to stop the 2 amp charger from overcharging? My unit is fine, I think the sound is just right. I might get that squaretrade warranty though.

Well, I feel a little better that I'm not the only one with this "problem".
The question is, is this a "problem" or a "feature". I guess we won't know unless we ask Google/Asus (good luck getting that answer) or enough people respond saying that it happens to them too. But if people start saying it does not happen to them, it makes it more likely to be a problem....
This happens to my phone due to overheating. The tablet does run hot when charging. See if there's a temperature logging app and run it overnight.

It would be nice if it would just cut off the battery charge and run directly on A/C. But I guess I would rather have it power off than explode.
isnt bad to charge it overnight like i believe from 1% to 100% chrge is like almost 3hrs fully chrged.. i just alarm myself for 3hrs to check if its fully chrged already then unplug it

True, it's not good to constantly charge the battery once it's full.
Most devices however have a built in charger kill switch once it reaches that point. Laptops for example will switch to A/C power and only start recharging the battery once the level drops to ~95%. I believe my phone does this as well (SGS2).
I guess I'm OK with it turning itself off, assuming that it really is a safety feature. My main concern was something was wrong. It would have been nice if they mentioned this in the 100pg Nexus Guide eBook though .

I want to add my own observation -- mine was almost fully charged, I plugged it to my computer's USB, turned the screen off, walked away. A couple hours later, the Nexus 7 was turned off. But I was shocked to find that, pressing the power button couldn't turn it on. The first thought came into my mind was that my computer did not charge the Nexus 7 and the battery ended up completely drained. So, I plugged it to the wall charger, left it on for a day. 1 day later, I tried to turn it on again. No, it didn't work. I was panic and decided to Google about how to reset and checked if I could wipe it and sent it back for a replacement. I found that pressing the power, vol up/down button at the same time can force a reboot. I tried that and bingo, it booted into the bootloader. Before I wiped, I decided to try to boot back to the Android OS. Surprisingly, that worked. I was happy and decided to ignore this incident. Then, today, it happened again. This time, I immediately used the power + vol up/down trick to reboot, and that booted me right back into Jelly Bean. I checked the battery status and it's fully charged, which meant my computer was charging it all along. For some reasons, the Nexus 7 would just turn off itself. And, in my case, pressing the power button alone would not reboot it.

Sounds like to me that it's hard locking, not "powering off", and you're forcing a reboot. Long-press of the Power button should do the same thing.
I can't say I have much to offer in regards to this issue, but am I correct with my observation that everybody experiencing this issue has experienced it while their N7 was plugged into a computer of some sort for an extended period of time? Has anybody had this happen when plugged straight into the wall outlet?
Here's another update with an interesting 'twist' since my last post.
I've charged it twice in the meantime. Once was, again, overnight, and I woke up to find it powered off. A simple "on" press brought it back on.
However, on Saturday, I used it heavily and was down to about 40%, so I plugged it in around 11AM. I meant to grab it around 3PM when I went out, but forgot about it. Got home late, and went to look at it at about 11PM (12 hours later). It was charged to 100%, running off the A/C power, and still on.
This is weird, because if I leave it plugged in "overnight" for 8 hours, it will almost always turn off sometime before I grab it. But when left plugged in during the day for 12 hours, it stayed on. I wonder if it handled the situation different based on the time of the day???
Well im pretty good with electronic, dis assembly and reassembly... however I may have bit the farm here. I replaced my digitizer for my device and the adhesive I purchased wasnt good enough so it was causing touch screen issues... So I took it all apart again and put it all back together to find OMG it wont turn on? Fully charged battery so I know thats not the issue and everything seems to be put in the right place (as if there is any other way to re-assemble this phone)....
So I did some trouble shooting... I tried switching to an original charger, attempted hard reboot assumed maybe the device was confused... left it on the charger as if god himself removed the remaining battery life all to no avail... However one thing I did notice is that for a while when the device was unplugged and sitting there the LED light would periodically blink red... hmm couldnt find anything on that ... Also when I remove the battery leads and plug it in the LED light illuminates green and stays that way regardless there still is no function to the phone literally a blank screen... I checked the screen and digitizer for damages both on its leads and the devices themselves and found there to be nothing wrong with them...
Im pretty sure I know the answer Im just hoping that Im wrong..
Also heres something Ive noticed as well, that when I plug both the phone in and leave the battery in it gets dangerously hot like battery about to explode hot after about 10 minutes or so

I buy broken Atrix HDs off of eBay all the time so I may be able to help. I've noticed that even though the battery is fully charged, when replacing the digitizer, the phone will think it's dead until it hits 100%. I usually have to hold the power button a Lil longer than normal, and when it turns on it will say 1% bat, remaining. It will charge the remaining battery and instantly jump to 100% when it's full.
Tl;dr: hold power until it turns on, charge to 100%

Well heres the thing. I already have been using the phone since Ive replaced the digitizer and its functioned relatively properly (aside from the adhesive not holding the digitizer down) the thing that concerns me is when I hook the battery back up to it and plug the phone in it gets dangerously hot like literally to the point where I question weather or not its going to explode also it doesnt show any LED function with the battery connected.
Go through and double check all of your connections. Also, connect it to your computer and see what device manager says.

Checked, rechecked and triple checked the connections as you know with the MB886 the connections only go one way and they either are in or not theres no middle-man. Unfortunatly my data-cable is not functioning so I cannot hook it up to the PC at the moment however I assume that if there is no function or charge with it just being plugged into the power cable then likewise would result from a PC connection. Not to mention the unexplained heat... like Im saying its almost to hot to hold kinda heat..
Well, last one I bricked it would be green light anytime it was plugged in and it had a specific register on the device manager.

When I plug it into my computer it says USB INPUT DEVICE RECOGNIZED DRIVERS INSTALLED CORRECTLY! To me that all sounds posative! Question is where to from here?
Thats with the battery out... When I hook the battery up it immediatly begins to get warm and recognizes as a Motorola USB Composite Device then starts disconnecting/reconnecting... Also during this process I noticed that the aluminum battery chassis is cracked right where the battery connects to the unit...
Do you have a second battery? If so, test the other battery. Otherwise, I am out of thoughts.

Has anyone figured out how to make the phone stay in dock mode when the wireless charging hits 100%? I am getting tired of my phone pulsating throughout the night as it turns off at 100% and turns back on at 98%. My clock app goes away when the charging turns off and lights up my room like daylight. I have tried using tasker and the magnetic field sensor, but that is not very reliable. I have tried other tasker profiles but can't seem to figure out a good mix of variables. I also tried using an NFC tag on the dock and the app Trigger to start the app, but that only works when I first put it on the charger. It doesn't have an Exit Task like Tasker does.
This is really annoying and a pretty crappy "feature". Anyone?

works great for me make sure you get this one:
Night Clock by
Gubbel
Can I ask why you suggest that one? I have a couple alarm apps that I could probably just open myself, but I'd like to be able to put my phone on the charger and have it open automatically and stay open until I take it off the charger. Does Night Clock have settings for this kind of situation?

a few reasons:
1: first it works with wireless charging on my nigntstand
2: turns off hard buttons
3: dims to my liking per settings
4: moves as a screensvaer
5 most important stays on after charger is full
I suppose a round-about way of solving this problem is to just use a wired charger, and save the wireless one for your desk or something, so that you don't have to worry about it acting up in the middle of the night. There's no terrific advantage to having wireless charging, IMO, so just be practical and use the wire.

I would do that if they made a dock for the Turbo. Unfortunately, Motorola doesn't put out docks for their phones like they used to. Now you have to buy a generic one that doesn't fit properly. I ended up creating a Tasker task that opens my clock app and doesn't allow it to close, so I have to close the app manually every morning but that's just being picky. It works pretty well, so I'm happy now.

I'm having trouble getting tasker to see my dock. What settings you have the mag sensor set to. And are you able to get the clock to go into night mode?

I just set Tasker to launch my clock app (Dock Clock Plus) when it detects wireless charging. I tried to use the mag sensor, but I could never get consistent results. The Dock Clock Plus app has a setting to go to night mode automatically at certain times. So I have it set for night mode from 9pm to 8am. So if I dock my phone outside those times, it stays bright.
I have a tylt wireless charger that I keep my Turbo on at work, and every time I take the phone off and set it back down, I get the full screen notification that wireless charging is detected and to make sure my phone is centered on the charger. It gets really annoying, and I wasnt able to find any setting of where this message/screen can be turned off. At first I thought it was one of those training things that only bugs you the first few times, but nope, 2 months..
Any suggestions?
Sorry, I have no solution but I just wanted to agree and say that this animation is really not necessary. Maybe the first few times, yeah, but not every time. I miss being able to customize things with root and custom roms. I did notice that after the latest firmware update, it no longer unlocks to the home screen after you set it on the charger. It will now stay on the lock screen if it is locked when you set it down to charge. It is an improvement, although a minor one.
On the bright side it doesn't make a god awful sound like the Droid Maxx did. Hopefully it gets root soon and this can be disabled.
Quick question for you guys: I'm using the Tylt at work too, is it just me or does it take FOREVER to get a full charge?

So on my wireless charger, I actually have to use the TURBO charger or it will not work. My charging times are not terribly slower, at least during the TURBO phase, at the top off phase it is a bit slower, but not bad. Maybe try the TURBO brick and see if that helps.
I'm currently using a wireless charger that doesn't display that dialog. All of the others that I use trigger the placement dialog. Strange!
This is similar to the stupid volume notification every time you turn up the headphones volume close to max. A Don't show this again check box would work wonders in both these situations

I figured out an easy way to disable this notification on my Droid Turbo 2. All you have to do is go into your Apps list, show the system apps, find the "Inductive Charger" app, and DISABLE it. Inductive charging still works just fine, but no more annoying pop-up.
