What is the indication G2x is charging while off?

---

No LED and nothing on screen?

crap, i knew i'd be missing notification lighting but i forgot this applies to charging as well... d'oh...

still excited for mine to be delivered tomorrow... the wait is killing me ... sorry for not having an answer :P

shortly pressing the power button will bring up a screen animation showing how much of the battery is charged, found out by accident actually!

Actually if you want to see the charging process indicator, press one of the volume buttons to temporarily turn on the screen - this is much better than the power button method as we all know if you hold the power button down too long, the phone boots - undesirable when you are calibrating.

I get very inconsistent results with either button. How do I know when it is done charging based on that green battery indicator?

I just noticed this as well, while the phone is powered on there is NO way to tell that it is charging, or how far it is? all previous phones had at least a small LED that went from red, or orange, to green. This has nothing.

So only if powered off, you can check. lame!

It's a game, you guess how much it's charged and then you turn the screen on to check if you were over or under.

I'm not being smart or anything but why would you turn you phone off to charge it? The only reason I can think if is not wanting to be reached while sleeping or something but at that point you can just silence your ringer.

I bought mine and it's turned off, so there's your answer. I have no way of knowing if it's even charging or anything.

What does it take, .0003 seconds to hit the volume button? My HD2 has all types of notification lights. I never go by them. If I'm looking for notification of something then I usually have my phone is my hand. Very simple to turn it on.
