Default [Q] Epic doesnt go into charging mode

My EPIC 4G started acting up recently which wasnt a problem until now.

When i plug it in to charge while its off it turns itself on and boots up.

Before i used to turn it off and charge b/c it always charged faster but now i have a new battery that i was training. Somehow it drained the battery all the way down so when i go and charge it, it boots up. The problem is that there isn't enough battery to power my epic before it runs out so it never makes it through the whole boot up process.

now if i could get it so it went into charge mode i wouldn't have the problem anymore.

i checked in all the settings and i couldn't find an option for it.

thanks for the help

pete

Let the battery charge with phone on for about 20 to 30 mins, then try it again. U might need to cycle the battery a couple times

try plugging the charger into the phone with the battery off. see what it does. if it is only doing this with your new battery, there may be some kind of conflict with your new battery making the charging sensor think something odd.

This happened to me on AOKP. ReOdin and repartition if you're up to it or on MTD. Flash your ROM again.
