How to charge the titan? opinions?

---

I've been told that charging the Titan while off is the best way - so the battery resets or something. I don't know if you have to do this everytime or just once and a while.

but i found that I turn my phone off, then while it's charging - it will mysteriously turn itself back on. The battery is not full yet, it just will randomly turn on.

So Is there a way to keep the phone off while charging? (I'm using a wall HTC adapter)

There is no reason to charge with the phone off. Also are you really turning the phone or or putting it in standby.

I hold the power button down till it says 'turn off , yes/no" and I push yes.

by the way what is standby?

push power button to turn phone screen off.

Some winmo phones turn on by itself, the titan and TP are 2.

I use S2U2 to lock the phone so the phone closes itself at a set time.

IMO, turning off your cell phone to charge ruins the point of having a cell phone for the time its off. Even if the phone's off, it'll still be draining a little energy.

Standby:
Phone is on. You press the power button breifly once. Phone screen turns off and phone goes into a low power mode.

Off:
Phone is on. You press and hold the power button and tap Yes when the dialog box asks if you want to turn off the phone. Phone then turns off completely.

If my phone is charging off a PC via USB it will sometimes awake from standby on its own. It doesn't do this when using just a charger. It does not turn on by itself though if fully turned off.

I only turn off my phone to charge if I want it to charge a little bit faster.

Sweet thanks for the replies.

I was just curious. But it turns out that my phone kept turning on, because my charger was on it's way out for some reason.

Tested it and it was only charging at a rate 50mA way less than the 1A label. And it was always super hot. So got a new one, problem solved, glad it didn't fry my phone

what you're referring to is calibrating the battery. to calibrate the battery, you need to charge your phone to 100%, let it die, then charge it to 100% while the phone is off. calibrating your battery resets the sensors inside which provide all the information about your battery, including remaining battery life. definitely a good thing to do every once and a while and you'll notice the difference

There aren't sensors inside the battery.
