I am planning on repurposing my retired Vivid as a media source for my car. I intend to have music stored on the Vivid (or a USB via OTG with power) and expect it will be plugged into the charger at all times. Since the charger outlet in the car is only "hot" when the car is on, I would like to have the Vivid on only when charging power is provided. I have already figured out how to power it off when charging power is removed (Tasker). What I haven't figured out yet is how to power it back on when charging power is started.
I have a rooted Vivid, with HBOOT 1.85.0025. It is still S-on if that matters. With the device powered off, I get a blank screen and charging LED when connected. I do not get the animated charging battery icon that was stock on the unrooted Vivid.
How do I get it to boot up when power is connected?
Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to have the phone boot up when it is charging. I think you would have to replace the charging while power off animation with some sorry of script that boots the phone. This would likely require s-off, but while doing s-off is pretty easy, the script would be another beast.

Is this possible? I can get it to boot into hboot, then remove the batt. With charger plugged in and it still functions. When I try to boot from recovery from hboot, it switches to HTC screen then shuts off. Can't be a hardware issue since it boots to hboot with no batt. Would be cool feature if I could boot with no batt.

Going into the bootloader doesnt require that much power... Hence why it works with no battery. but once you start going into recovery it starts loading more and more stuff requiring more battery and having no battery and only being pluged in isnt enough juice for it
There is a hack I did with my droid 2 where you get a usb cord and put the wires on the terminals of the phone to give it power and it will boot up I forget what it was but I think I bricked it with no battery power and had to do that to boot to bootloader and flash the file to return it to stock I would Google that and try it out

I'm gonna use this phone as a media server when I get my new one. Didn't want to leave in the battery plugged in all the time. I check it out. And the battery provides the less than the charger. If you use a phone while charging, it charges. Which means charger is outputing more than batt.

Did you get this to work?
Based on your post count, this is probably a stupid question but:
You tried charging in an outlet (not through computer), right? Any under-the-hood work makes my Bionic run hot and burn through the battery.
More technical: I read somewhere that someone upgraded to windows 8 and fastboot stopped working. Windows 7 fixed the problem (if you're saying that fastboot is the problem, not Vol - & power button recovery mode).
Were you in the process of rooting?

I am kind of having the same problem. I recenty got a droid bionic where I had to replace the LCD screen and battery since when I got it it did not have a battery with it. I got an NON-OEM extended battery and every thing was working fine for three days. In that time I was able to upgrade everyting to the latest software, fireware, and Android version (4.1.2 JB) but after those three days the phoe woould not power on. When I plugged it into my computer and tried, the white power light would just blink at me. when I unplugged it from the computer and tried it would not even come on. I thought it was the battery so I sent it back and got an OEM extended batter and a OEM dock/charger. When I got everything I plugged it all in and the screen came on with the Motorola M logo and then showed me a picture of the battery at 5%, so I let it charger over night. In the morning I pressed the power button while still plugged into the charger, the phone light up saying the battery was at 100%. So I took it off the charger and tried to power up. Nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the white power light came on and stayed solid but still no power-up. I just tries the Volume Up/Down power while plugged into the wall charger and I can get to the recovery screen and try the normal boot up, I get the Motorola M Logo screen, I just now tried recovery and the little Droid just showed up with its stomach with a red triangle and an ! in it and is just sittin there. and now it when back to the Motorola M Logo screen then the battery screen. Does this mean mine is bricked as well? Please some one help.
Bumping because of no help yet. I can access the recovery screen but does not seem to help any, it also has to be plugged into the wall charger for this to happen but I can not power it up whether it is plugged in or not. Please Help someone so I can get this figures out.
Alright strange thing to try, plug it into your computer, while plugged in take it the battery, give it a minute and put it back in while still plugged in.

Did as you suggest but when I took out the battery. the white light stayed on. Still could do nothing. Waited 2 minutes, put the battery back in and still nothing. All I get is the white light staying on. I unplug from the computer, the light turns off and still nothing, not even the recovery screen will boot up.
Can you get to the fast boot option by holding both volume buttons and power

As long as I keep it plugged into the wall charger I can. When I go there it says "Battery Low Cannot Program Connect USB Data Cable. But as soon as I unplug the wall charger it shuts off and I can not get back to fast boot. When I plug it into the USB cable and plug into the computer, I can not get to fast boot. I just check and it says my battery is at 100%. but when I first plug it in it says 5%.
Your gonna need to charge your battery with either an external charger or the usb charging hack before you can perform an fxz on it

Hello:
I recently got a use Bionic with a cracked screen, no battery, and no sim card. I replaced the screen and bought a non-oem extended battery with cover. When I got everything and fixed it, the phone worked for 3 days. During this time I did a factory reset plus cache wipe then updated everything to latest software and firmware. I had it plugged into my computer to charge over night but on the third day after being plugged in to the computer to charge, I tried to turn on the phone and the white light started blinking at me. I had a wall charger that I use for my Samsung Galaxy Precedent (current using phone) to charge it over night again but all I would get is the Motorola M logo and a then the battery charge status. I search some forums and some one said that my battery was bad so I got an OEM extended battery and an OEM wall charger with dock station. So at this point, the only thing I can access is the recovery screen but that only happens when it is pugged into the wall charger but when I hit the power button I get the Motorola M logo and the battery status which say 5%. Once the screen goes dark again I hit the power button and the battery says 100%. But once I unplug it, I get nothing. Not even the recovery screen. When I plug it into my computer I get the white light again but this time it stays solid. It still will not power up, or even access the recovery screen while plugged into the computer as well. Any suggestion on what might be wrong and what I might do to fix it? Please help someone!
My HTC One had a full discharge a couple days ago.When I got home to plug it in, it showed a blinking red LED and the battery charging animation, but didn't charge at all over a full day. I tried rebooting while still plugged in to the wall charger, which took me to the OS. From the OS I could do anything -- text,call, use Chrome, etc -- but the battery symbol had an exclamation point and the LED was still blinking red. As soon as I took it off the charger, it turned off.
I have tried Power + Volume Down, Power + Volume Up + Volume Down, and the bright light methods.
I was able to restore the phone to a previous backup from TWRP while plugged in, but the problem continues.
Any suggestions?

Try connecting the phone to your computer's USB port. If it charges there, then your charger is bad. You can check to see if is charging by going to Settings -> Power on the phone. If you are using the cable from your charger to connect to the computer and it isn't charging then try another cable. It that works, it may just be the cable that is bad and the rest of the charger is OK.

I have tried multiple cables, including the HTC stock cable and charger. When I plugged the phone into my computer, it did not show the blinking red LED and did not power up. The phone was basically unresponsive. I assume this is from lower amperage from the laptop's USB ports, but could be wrong. The laptop was also plugged into its charger at the time.

The battery is severely discharged. Since, it will not charge via the charger or the computer it looks to be a phone hardware issue. You probably need to take it back to your dealer for servicing. Before you do that, give the connection to the laptop one more go except leave it on the for about an hour or two undisturbed. When batteries are severely discharged, it takes a while for it to recharge enough to give any indication of life.
I ended up sending the phone to HTC. I had modified the kernel and OS, but figured it was worth a shot since the phone was dead and it was still under warranty.
They told me it was out of warranty due to liquid damage. I have no idea how it may have been liquid damaged, but oh well. I wasn't going to pay the $200 to replace the motherboard so I asked them to send the phone back to me.
I received the phone last week and plugged it in. I wanted to make sure I could repeat the symptoms and that HTC hadn't further messed up the phone before I took it to a local repair shop. But what happened when I plugged it in? It came to life and began charging as normal. Either a generous HTC tech fixed my phone for free or the phone needed some interior jostling to get circuits back to normal.
Whatever the situation, my phone has been good as new with all the data just as I left it. For a full week, I've had no problems charging.
I have my Desire 510 plugged into a wall outlet and I keep getting the message "Unable to charge your phone because it is using too much power. To fix this problem, reduce power consumption by turning off your phone, closing any apps you aren't using or turning off the screen"....I am rooted, have TWRP installed and a custom ROM. (Raptor ROM v1 since v2 link asks for a decryption code)...I have turned on Power Saver, Mobile data and bluetooth are disabled. The phone is losing battery power even while plugged in. I have tried 3 different chargers and outlets
EDIT: Went back to Stock ROM and its STILL having charging problems....

I've had this problem and it stopped when I took a plug from a Verizon phone and used it. It's the plug where you cannot remove the wire and plug it into a PC or another charger, but as long as you save yours, you should be ok. NO other plug would work!

I have it plugged into a wall charger and its still giving issues (power brick with non-removeable USB cable)...i've had this phone for about 30 hours and been plugged in the whole time (minus the time it took to swap out USB cables and outlets) and it's not even gotten a full charge....i'm just gonna buy another phone.
EDIT: Just ordered a Motorla E (2015) to replace Desire 510....this phone will be thrown in a drawer
