Hi everyone,

When I plug my phone in to charge at night and shut it down, the on screen charging indicator (the battery with the "bolt" in the middle) will not go away. I know it's supposed to be there since it's a GPe device, but it does not go away at all (the next morning its still there). Is this normal for the GPe? I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, and rooted it a couple of days ago when I "converted" it from a normal HTC One to a Google Play edition. I'm also on the stock 4.4.2 ROM.

I'd like to have my phone shut down completely and just have the red light on while charging overnight.

Anyone else having this issue or know of a solution?



EDIT: Someone told me to make sure "Stay Awake" was checked off in the Developer Options, and its been unchecked (I haven't messed with Developer Options), and still same problem.

EDIT 2: SOLUTION! If you have TWRP v2.7.0.0 then downgrade to v2.6.3.3 or v2.6.3.4. Thank you @alray!

yeah there is an issue with 2.7.0.0. Downgrade to 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 and you'll be fine

YES! My phone hangs on that screen when I want to turn it on too (didn't know it was a problem)! I have to press the power button for 10 seconds for the "hard reboot" every morning.

Where can I download v2.6.3.3 or v2.6.3.4? Their website only seems to offer v2.7.0.0.

Thank you, I didn't want to download the wrong TWRP (i.e Sprint HTC One).

After I downgraded from v2.7.0.0 to v2.6.3.3 the problem is SOLVED. I connected my phone, powered it off, now the charging indicator goes away after 5 seconds. All that is on now is the red light above the screen. Thank you again!!

np ;)

Thanks for letting me know! I guess they fixed the problem in the newest version. Is there any pros or cons of having an "older" TWRP (v2.6.3.4) instead of the newest v.2.7.0.4?

What's new in 2.7.0.0:

  • Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar
  • Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices
  • Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion
  • Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names
  • Text wrap in the console output
  • Proper caps lock support in the keyboard
  • Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer
  • Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript
  • Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions
  • Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)
  • Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process
  • Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions
  • Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery
  • USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking
  • Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)
  • Add 4.4 AOSP decrypt support
  • Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)
  • Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes
