Default My damn phone doesn't want to turn off while charging.

I just finished uninstalling everything on this phone thinking it was an app doing this. Tonight is the first I've noticed this.

Here's the scenario. Phone is on and plugged into charger in car. I have root and recovery. No problems with those installs. I try to shut off the phone and it goes like it did, then a few seconds after the charge light comes on when the phone is off, it boots into recovery by itself. I pulled the battery and no change. I turn the phone off while unplugged and it stays off. Keeping the phone off, I plug it into the charger and recovery boots up. This is the strangest friggin thing I've ever seen!

I'm going to ruu it when I get home shortly. I will see if it does it then. If okay then I will root it and see if it does it. If not then I will install recovery and see if it does it. I don't think it was doing this with root only but I will see when I get home.

If it turns out to be recovery, I can live without it for a while until a newer version comes out. I prefer rooted stock anyways. Anyone seen this? I doubt it.

DONATE TO ME
Others were talking about having this issue, so it could very well be a preliminary issue with root on the shift

This is a known issue with CW recovery. I am thinking about learning how to make a recovery for us, as this really bothers me.
Empirical evidence can never establish mathematical existence - nor can the mathematician's demand for existence be dismissed by the physicist as useless rigor. Only a mathematical existence proof can ensure that the mathematical description of a physical phenomenon is meaningful.

Please do! Mine boots into recovery anytime I plug the charger in while the phone's off.

I am working on it, but since I know no java, it will take some time.

Finally got mine rooted today, ran into some weird issues, but haven't experienced this issue. I did run into some issues with it plugged in an booting the phone. It wouldn't boot when power was pressed. Charge light would also stay on after it was unplugged. Battery pull resolved my issue. Not the same I know but kinda quirky
