Title says it all...
When you plug in the nook color the screen wont turn off in Cyanogen Mod... This isn't good when you are using <2 amp charging (say 500 mA from standard usb) as the screen uses more power then the charge provides... so it actually drains the battery. Any ideas?
When you say it will not turn off, do you still have a display or just the backlight? When I am charging my nook in standby, I have noticed that the backlight will remain on until I tap the power button. That gives me a black screen

I noticed that recently with one of the later nightlies. I can still power off while charging though, can you?
I put it in sleep, I don't turn it off.
Same problem here. I just turn have to remind myself to manually turn it off whenever I plug it in. Probably some kernel bug or something?
Not a huge problem though. =)

Turn the screen off by hitting the power button.
This is not a bug but a workaround for a kernel bug. We fixed a bug that would cause kernel panic if you let the device sleep while plugged into USB. However, it would still eventually kill ADB so for now I start a partial wake lock when connected to USB.
Just wondering when this might be fixed? Having to worry about the screen being left on when plugged in is a problem for me. I normally charge my Nook from a standard usb. If the screen is on it drains the battery.

When what might be fixed? As Dal just said, this IS the fix for the time being. And it isn't a worry. Just plug it in, and hit the power button; your screen will turn off, and you will be good to go.

The fact it sounded like a temp fix "for the time being" is why I asked about timing. Turning the screen off is fine but I have had one case where the screen turned back on during the night and I woke to a nook that was almost dead even though it was plugged in all night. Even an answer like planned for next RC or for the final release of 7.1 would be helpful.
If there is not fix coming it would be nice to know that too.
I appreciate everything that has been done for the nook and enjoy using it as a tablet.
Using the high capacity cable is not an option. I have tried two in my nook and one would not charge it all and the second was very hard to plug and would sometimes charge it. A standard USB cable has always worked fine. I have read about bad high capacity cables taking out more than one nook so I won't even go there anymore.
Have this been solved somehow?
I have recently mounted my Nook Color on the kitchen wall and it is annoying to manually having to push the power button to turn off the screen, instead of having the screen turn off automatically after a specified time.
Let me first say that the charging input on my phone has been wonky for a while. If I don't plug the cord in just so, the phone won't charge.
With that said, I plugged my phone into the wall last night and before the screen could turn on, the orange light went out (and the screen didn't turn on.) I managed to get the orange light to come on, but the screen didn't light up, only the softkey lights. I then unplugged the phone and tried to manually turn the screen on, but again, only the softkey lights lit up. I had to pull the battery and reboot to get my phone to work correctly.
My phone works fine now, I just thought the CM team should know about this problem.

make sure in performance it isnt set to 192mhz min. have it at the 300+ mark. Its called the "sleep of death" or SOD... happens sometimes.
This sounds suspiciously like the bad battery problem, and I don't think its CM related.
Several users have had the same problem (including my GF). Replacing the battery has worked for everyone who has tried.

I can confirm what bilibox is saying here. I used to run CM10.1 and had the exact problem you speak of. Upping the minimum CPU frequency to 384MHz fixed it. Go to Settings -> Performance -> Processor -> Minimum CPU frequency and select at least 300 MHz. You'll also need to be sure that Set on boot is checked. Otherwise, a reboot will revert the setting back to 192.
I recently went on a 3 month trip. Before I left, my nook was working perfectly fine, when i got back, it didn't work at all. It's not dead because i left it plugged in overnight but it still didn't turn on. when i plug it in the LED goes from orange to green and then off (or green to orange, i can't remember). The screen doesn't turn on at all. I can't get to recovery either.
This is a Nook HD, I believe it had CM11.
:crying:
Can this be fixed
or should i plan it's funeral
Same here
The same has happened to me. Screen doesn't turn on, but there is power, I can play it into my laptop and something is there, just not enough.
Good excuse for a new tablet!
It can be fixed. I've done it before. It has to do with the fstrim not being compatible with certain hardware versions of our device. If I can remember how I fixed it, I'll post it here. Trying to fix mine (again).

If would be fab if you could fix. Seems to be a common issue
I was able to fix it. YMMV.
1) Make sure the Nook is completely off and unplugged
2) Take out your sdcard
3) Hold down power button until the "battery depleted" icon shows, then promptly plug in the power before the icon disappears.
4) Let it set. The screen will go black, then it will attempt to boot and get stuck on the faint black screen, but this time, the charging light should stay amber.
If you want to be safe, wait until the device reboots itself. That could take hours though. If you're plugged into the wall wait at least 30 - 45 minutes before holding the power button down til it shuts down and then rebooting it (with the sdcard inserted).
Good luck, I hope it works for you.
EDIT: Also, I've read this may also have to do with wifi sending the device into some sort of strange bootloop when the screen is off. I personally believe it has more to do with the fstrim of JB but perhaps changing the wifi sleep policy may prevent this issue from happening again. I'm skeptical, but figured I'd pass that info along if anyone wants to try it as well.

Not sure we have the same problem. My screen doesn't come on at all, I don't get a battery depleted icon, no matter how long I hold in the power button. The only sign of life I get is when it's plugged in, when it goes from orange to green after about 10 seconds.
Thanks for the help, but I think it's a lost cause.
YMMV. But mine was the same issue. You should be able to get the icon by holding the power button down for 5 or 6 seconds. I'd say just eff with it until that icon appears. Try different button combinations. I used power and home trying to get the icon to show.

Anyway... since people are continually running into this kind of issue...
Give or take 21 seconds after turning orange it turns green during actual boot cycle into rom
Give or take 10 seconds after turning orange is cwm internal recovery.
After about 10 seconds the charging screen image disappears.
The charging screen image once finally no longer may not show up again until full power off/on (holding power button > 10 seconds or full battery discharge). Unplugging and plugging back in does nothing except making the device look bricked if there's too much light shining on it.
Device may not automatically leave the above state under a specific situation(s). May still need manual full power off/on.
Guessing 10 seconds could also be something else during the early/late boot process or other. The light changing color though should indicate that something is indeed happening.
Light should stay green during the boot process if its completely and fully no questions asked 100%. If you go based on that than yours doesn't appear to be completely fully charged which should either mean its turning on and using battery or not charging correctly.
The light turning off is curious. The device could be shutting off. If light comes back on a moment later then the device has rebooted. if the light stays off = n/a.
If its booting into recovery then the device would be available via adb. At that point it could be further evaluated.
On the off chance the screen was damaged it should boot and usb should be available via computer as well as adb.
If not then its probably toast unless its simply not getting a good enough current causing mislead battery stats and/or not enough energy to get to charging screen (bad wall power adapter in use, damaged power cable - though could be bad battery, defect, damage or whatever). OR there's some major error on behalf of the user happening (think should have tried that in the morning not while 1/2 asleep or came home from long trip and forget how that works).
Maybe the only other things are the emmc brick bug, was left sitting in the sun or heat or ocean air or other physical damage/defect even to the power port as well.
Or maybe it was mad that you left it. Shouldn't have hurt its feelings you know. At least its not crying battery acid on you.
That should just about cover everything except for the things not mentioned. Since its your device, you decide what happened.
Its complicated so anyone see any improvements, clarifications, or mistakes? Please put it in a post.

Bumping this thread to make it aware that there is a real answer. I have been able to duplicate this problem and rather easily too.
The problem is indeed from bad power. The device isn't receiving the correct amount of power needed to charge and start from a fully discharged battery.
To safely* duplicate this you can use a usb extension that isn't fully connected to the nook power cable. You may need to fully connect it first then slowly disconnect/connect till the light turns green when it should actually be charging. It won't actually charge in this state, or if it is, its very little and the battery percentage will continue to drop.
Leave the cable as is and unplugged. After the tablet is fully discharged, connect the usb cable. The light will change through the modes and turn off. The device will not turn on.
There are probably other ways to cause the problem like for instance a portable usb battery that doesn't put out enough juice (not the orange kind). Etc.
* It didn't hurt mine, but not my fault if it breaks your device.

I actually ended up fixing it yesterday!! I haven't touched it in about 3 months, and I was planning on just throwing it out getting rid of it some how. For the heck of it, I decided to plug it in, assuming that it was gonna go through the same process. But this time it went from green to amber, but it never went off. So I pressed the power button and the battery icon appeared. This was a really good sign. So I left plugged in for about 5 to 10 minutes then tried to power on.:fingers-crossed: As soon as I saw that '' Nook" boot up screen, my heart stopped. It booted up perfectly and I almost blew up from excitement :victory:. So I then flashed the stock firmware back onto it, so this would never happen again.
I guess the battery had to be completely depleted or just had to cool down. Idk but either way this was one heck of a miracle
So I recommend for anyone having this problem to just leave it off and don't mess with it. I wouldn't say for 3 months like I did but maybe test it each week or wait a month if you have good patience
Wow. Man, that's awesome! Glad you posted that update on it. Thought if you had posted an update it would be the opposite as in trashed it
Actually, I guess only you could answer if you had also moved/unplugged the power cable from the wall adapter or put it into a different wall adapter, etc. Thinking there could have been a difference there.
These modern day devices are so finicky, guess anything is possible. Like you say, maybe sitting without power is another answer.
From some experimentation I have etermined that your power adapter (that plugs into the outlet) is the issue. It does not like to be leaft plugged in indefinately. It will continually use power even when the nook is not plugged in.
Also, if you use a differnt adapter you will have the same problem unless it is also of the exact same voltage and amps.
Hello guys,
A while ago, I was just doing stuff I normally do with my phone. I flashed a ROM and it rebooted normally. I then flashed a MOD using TWRP recovery. As usual, every MOD that uses Aroma Installer has a "Reboot device after install" option so I chose that and then **** happened.
Out of nowhere my One suddenly shuts off (The install was done so...)
I have tried the sensor under bright light trick and my phone does vibrate once but nothing actually happens. Just a black screen and stuff.
Sometimes it does go into this screen where it shows a battery icon with thunder bolt in the middle (Yes I know that is the charging screen. But, I also believe that it acts like a progress bar and it does not do THAT.)
Then again, it dies and it doesn't have the charging LED nor would it turn on.
Help is appreciated. I know basic and complicated android stuff but I can't do any of that if my phone is dead
Edit: When I press the power button for a few seconds, it vibrates but nothing happens. The screen is still off and the charging LED is not turning on as well.
Edit: Okay, when I do get it to charge, it shows that charging screen and when I unplug it, it freezes with the charge light on. The phone is also heating up so that does mean it's charging

TAM

No. But I was able to drain the battery and once I plug it in using the original HTC wall charger (which is the one that I always use to charge it.) it charged but the charging LED is blinking (mut have drained it self good overnight) am I making progress or did I make it worse?

It's difficult to say at this point, Personally I would just leave it charge over night. Then try and power it on with Volume Down+Power while still connected to the charger. And it definatly doesn't show up in device manager, not even as Unknown Device or QHUSB_DLOAD? I find that a little odd.
But there are signs of life so I think a good charge may do the trick.

Yes. I did plug it into my laptop's usb ports last night when it still had charge (usb 3.0 if that helps) but it was neither recognized nor visible in the device manager. I hope! I am now charging my phone as we speak. I hope it's not dead too
Okay so...I installed HTC Sync and still nothing. It was not recognized and it's still not booting
Try Windows 7 USB 2.0
just htc Drivers
Try to go to Boot loader and flash firmware
if it show battery with charging sign it means Soft Brick or battery problem
if it showed nothing like no charging light or nothing on screen then its Hard Brick

Then it is probably a soft brick or a battery problem. Because when I got home I immidiately pluged it into the wall charger for it to charge and it charged showing the charging screen with a blinking LED. One more thing, if I press the power button for a few seconds it vibrates and then nothing happens. I am planning to leave it charging over night. Is that a good idea?

I was flashing a MOD then after the installation finished, it asked if I wanted to "reboot now" so I tapped yes then the phone died and it won't start anymore. Yeah but how long should I hold the button? Just to clarify, my phone only vibrates if I hold the power button for a long time. It just keeps vibrating and vibrating

until the lights stop flashing, usually about 12 or 15 times cant quite remember exactly how many times they flash but its quite a few.

Hi guys,
Here's my (huge problem): my Nexus 6 won't turn on anymore. I was at a friend's last night, it was on and functional. Then I pick it up and it's off. Odd I think, I try to turn it on, nothing. I try to turn it on while holding the power button for a while, still nothing. I try powering it on to access the bootloader (power + vol down), still nothing. All I could see was a faint red light right next to the top speaker (on the left, weird but it seems to be the proximity sensor) that turns on for like a second when I hold the power button for a while.
If I connect it to my PC, I get a Windows notification saying the driver for this device cannot be installed (so it's detecting it somehow). I let it charge overnight but I don't know if it did (although I waited for a bit and it did get warm while connected to the Moto turbo charger). The Nexus toolkit doesn't see it if I try an "adb devices" command.
I've tried all the steps on Google's help page and also from this thread but it still won't power on. I don't know what to do anymore at this point. It was fully functional, no hard/soft brick of any kind.
Fyi, it is rooted, the bootloader is unlocked and I was running Chroma with ElementalX kernel. Please helps guys! :crying::crying:
Have you tried plugging it in to your computer and looking in devices? tried another charger?

Usually the red LED means your battery is dead. Charge it for an hour or two then try again.
@Face_Plant, I charged it overnight. It seemed to have worked because it was getting warm on the back (as usual) but I can't tell for sure since it doesn't turn on at all.

Fyi, it is rooted, the bootloader is unlocked and I was running Chroma with ElementalX kernel. Please helps guys! :crying::crying:

Well, I ended up sending it back for repair (it's still under warranty). They replaced the motherboard, battery and back cover, for free of course!
I did lose all my recent data but it couldn't be helped in that case. You might need to RMA yours as well...
when i first received my Nexus6 out of box, it was dead didnt turn on etc. i was freakin out that it might be a total defect device.
but it came with 0% charged i guess? and only after pluggin it into the chargin cable i managed to power it on,
did everyone else's nexus 6 came with 0% charged? or was it only me

werid.. maybe thats why mine is a defect screen..
it was basically dead out of box, unopened box eveyrhitng in place and sealed and the phone itself had the pre intsalled screen film on, i had to plug it to the wall until after 2minutes then i could turn the thing on :/
I would try to charge the phone using the wireless charger to see what will happen.
Wow! A zombie post ☺
