[Q] Phone turning on by itself.

---

I noticed this issue, where the Photon powers on by itself when i plug it into the computer via usb.

When the phone is off and plugged to the wall charger I get the battery charging image. But When the phone is off and plugged into the computer via usb, it powers on. Also With the usb plugged in and in charge only mode, when i perform a shutdown on the phone, it restarts right after completing shutdown.

I know this might now be a serious issue, and no one have probably come across it but same thing happened when it was connected to the PS3, i powered it off while it was on and connected to ps3 via usb and it powered back on. This could be some weird usb sending out signals trying to mount the sd card and in return it forces the phone to turn on, can someone please verify this on their phone, my brother has a photon i am gonna try this on his later tonight, just need to know it is on mine,

Well i confirmed with another Photon, it is the same issue, whenever it is plugged into a USB it turns on by itself, dont know if this happens with other phones, but it is weird

Same thing here and it is so annoying when I am just trying to charge it and it keeps booting back up.

does anyone know of a solution, i ll try playing around with it, may be something with usb debugging, highly doubt it though

Same here. I think it must be designed this way for some reason.

Does it turn on if the USB is set to 'Charge Only' mode? I think it turns on automatically by design in Phone Portal or Sync modes but it probably shouldn't in Charge Only mode.
