Best thing I ever got for my phone. Under 4 bucks shipped. Works great if you are having issues charging your battery if you let it go completely dead. I don't use it much but don't worry about completely draining my battery anymore either.

Works well if you have a 2nd battery too, since you can charge a battery in the charger and use the USB plug at the same time.

Thanks dude! Just ordered the charger!

Its not the kernel. The kernel has nothing to do with it. It is solely that recovery that is the issue

Even I think so that too...but all the people who report this issue are on NRGZ rom with stock kernel. Somebody on android-dev also mentioned the kernel to be culprit, so mentioned as a possible. It could be easily validated though if someone using NRGZ rom and his stock kernel discharges his phone fully and is able to charge back..I've sold off my Amaze so I can't do this test..

On a side note, if we're sure its the bug with the recovery, mods should remove all remove all references of that recovery version from the Amaze forum as well as hasoon should remove that from his toolkit. I almost sent my phone back due to this bug, good thing I didn't but still had to suffer inconvenience of waiting 4-5 days with a dead phone while the battery was on its way.

I already did that. got a replacement battery, the battery I had in the stock amaze ran dry in the energy /w stock kernel, and couldn't charge. put the battery in the stock amaze and it still flashed a couple times but then charged up to 100%, and is still going strong. rooted phone had older cwm recovery and can't charge while off. Upgraded recovery and repeated same test, and was able to charge.

I think the fact that so many people ran that rom/kernel/recovery setup, sooner or later a few were bound to drain the battery 100% and have this happen to them.

I as well have had stock kernel and i charge my phone with it off after a complete battery drain all the time with no problem, using touch recovery. That was why i stated earlier it was a recovery problem.

Well glacierguy, I followed your directions to a T and it worked perfectly. You earned this thanks for sure.

I'm not gonna lie... I bugged out when it died... It was quite a sigh of relief for me as well once it booted... Glad it worked.

Also... I'm on Energy ROM with stock kernel... And my phone DID die completely, and it DID NOT need a new battery...
