[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
There are numerous discussions about the charging thing. Search, or at least Google. The most intriguing answer I ever saw to this was that the charging system was set up to protect the Li-Ion battery from degradation by not cramming it full of charge all the time. (The OP on that was a bit more technical, but you get the idea.)

If it bugs you that much, you could root your phone, flash a ROM that is undervolted and compatible with SetCPU, install that, and then set a profile up so your phone is underclocked when it's charging / charged.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezkialrage:
I searched xda prior to posting specifically about sleeping while plugged in. My query isn't neccisarily about charging bit rather the sleep function and awake state of the phone while its pretending to charge.

I'm curious as to whether this is hardware related or not. For example when the phone reaches 100% and stops charge could the phone then actually begin to sleep. Unless its physically impossible for the phone to sleep while there is a usb chord plugged into it.

A little test I did with this over the past two days. At night I charged to full and took the phone off the charge and went to bed. I woke up and only lost about 4% all night and was able to use the phone on the way to work never going below 90%

The next night I left the phone on charge all night. Wake up take it off the charger and within 10 minutes I'm down to 92%

Keep in mind I'm not blaming charging on this. The first night lasted longer off of the charger than the night on the charger simply because the phone was allowed to sleep through the night.

I could be wrong
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodelyfe:
you can set the options it will say 'screen stay on while plugged up' or something to the like

or when you plug it in, just push your lock button (the top power key)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodelyfe:
also you can get a brightness widget and put it on your home screen. that way you can still have your screen on while charging but it will be dimmed or whatever setting you set it too.

hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezkialrage:
Your screen being on vs off while charging does not factor into the asleep vs awake time of the phone.

for an example of this, a freshly rebooted phone on the charger, with the screen off for 5 minutes, will have an "up" time of 5 minutes and an "awake" time of 5 minutes.

this is true while the phone is plugged in and the screen is on or off.

simply put, your awake time on the phone is always going up as long as the phone is plugged in, double this with the fact that the phone stops charging at 100% and you have constant drain even when plugged in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlrdxrevengex:
the phone shuts off at 100% to protect the battery. If you want your phone asleep then turn it off at night. that is the only way to put the phone to sleep try searching app market. Other then that the only other way is to push the power/lock button at the top

Does not have to be over USB. ADB can connect via TCP.

- disconnect device from usb then tell it to listen on 4455
adb tcpip 4455
restarting in TCP mode port: 4455

- connect to the device using a specified ip:port. my device is using wifi
adb connect 192.168.1.103:4455
connected to 192.168.1.103:4455

- now do normal adb commands over tcp
adb shell

- when your done, you can put it back in USB mode
adb usb
restarting in USB mode

You can also set an environment variable called ADBHOST with the IP address and adb will attempt to connect to that ip.

Now I am not sure if DDMS can connect to the device over tcpip, but if adb can, and ddms uses adb to connect, it should be possible.

I found this and thought it will be helpful as I ended up on this thread during my search.

NO ROOT REQUIRED!

Follow this link: it has everything.

http://www.mymobiler.com/

So far only PC is supported I think.

The app also gives you the ability to use your PC keyboard remotely over wifi, it also has shortcuts for home, menu, back, etc.

The one thing that you might need to figure out is the display option in the mobile app settings.

I chose to keep it #3 - others ... that's the only way I can see the screen on my razr maxx!!

Also, if you are having weird screen problems, the website has the FAQ section and other pages to tweak the settings so that it works fine!!

Now it is a bit slow ... but none the less very useful ... I use it to change music while my phone's connected to speakers and chatting with people on Viber/WeChat/WhatsApp ... comes in pretty handy!! :)

Hope this helps!! cheers!!

Drop the fake flash update.zip on your SD card, boot up holding vol down, select recovery, once in the red triangle hold vol up + press power, choose to apply update zip.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milamber:
Maybe try this:

Copy the content of the sdcard to your PC as a backup

Format the SDcard (using the method here (I can confirm this partition method works as I did it yesterday when i thought I had bricked my phone)

Set up partitions and create a ext2 partition as per that guide

Copy the unlocker recovery image to the root of your phone as well as a ROM that you want to flash the phone with

Turn phone off

Hold down power and volume down to enter recovery mode

Make sure the SDcard is mounted correctly (check partitions menu)

Flash with the ROM and good luck...

I have a plan!

Put that sdcard in a laptop via a card reader

Place the update.zip I mentioned in my post above onto it with a ROM that you want to use.

Put that sdcard back into your phone, it will boot with the recovery file you placed on the card - you will then gain recovery access... I hope.

Remember if these things dont work, there is another way - we just need to find it! Important thing to do is not to put yourself under the stress if you can help it. Its not worth it and the phone can be fixed.

Ok,

The_Chrome_Coyote really helped me!!!! Thank you so much and im back up and running. There was something missing from the original tutorial, not that we should be spoon fed but I didn't have the WinRAR program on my pc and didn't know I needed to extract anything. I was looking for exe. for it to be a program and just open it. It's a little more complicated than that. I added my additions in BOLD

The_Chrome_Coyote's Original post to me:

Odin isnt that hard, its just REALLY picky about working.

Firstly you need to download the Samsung drivers for your OS which can be found:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

added:

Second you need to make sure you download WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 3.93 (google it and you should be able to get it) otherwise if your pc doesn't have a program to recognize rar and tar files, you are out of luck.

then read this thread from JAC:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

1. Now, Extract ODIN from its .rar and place the .exe on your desktop

2. Extract the .pit file from its.rar and place that on your desktop

3. Place the JFD .tar file on your desktop but DO NOT EXTRACT

Now you can use ODIN

4. Start ODIN Odin3. [Android + SLP], through ODIN select the .pit file

5. Hit "PDA" button, and through ODIN select the .tar file

6. Plug your TURNED OFF PHONE into the USB cable

7. Wait for the Battery/ charging indicator to start

8. HOLD VOL UP+ VOL DOWN+ POWER, as soon as the screen goes black RELEASE POWER, and continue to HOLD VOL UP+ VOL DOWN Until it enters download mode. Which should happen quickly and looks like a men at work highway sign.

9. If a COM port has turned Yellow in ODIN, then the device has been recognized. If it hasnt, unplug and plug your phone back in.

10. Dont select any options other than whats set at default.

11. Hit Start and be patient, takes me maybe 5 minutes to get back up and running.

NOTE: If you do not see a blue progress bar on the phone's screen after a minute;

11a. Turn your phone off by pulling the battery.

11b. CLOSE ODIN

11c. Start at step 4 again.

ODIN needs to be open and ready to flash before the phone is plugged in, in my experience. Its very picking about this, and not everyone has this issue, but I did and following all these steps helped me flash my phone more times than I can count the other day haha.

Hope this helped! and your $20, donate it to Wes, JAC, or Eugene to keep them making great stuff for our phone.

Quick and possibly dumb question. I have the drivers installed for my Captivate on my windows 7 (X64) and the phone connects to the PC in Kies as well as Mass storage mode and modem. However, when I get to your process of turning the phone off, connecting to the PC and entering "Download Mode", it does not recognize the phone and it does not connect. Am I missing something? I tried to disconnect and reconnect the usb, but no success. Thoughts? (It does come up in device manager as a general device, but no drivers for it?)
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
I'm sorry for getting back so late... However, if you have the correct drivers installed on your computer you should be fine. Have odin open, disconnect your phone, take out the battery, put it back in, place cover back on, while still off, place usb in the phone, wait until the battery indicator shows charging, then hold down both the volume up down toggles and the power button and when the screen goes black, let go the power button only while still holding both the volume up and down button as one. This should take you back into download mode and a yellow indicator in odin should appear.
[Vibrant General] Gr8Danes:
Got it. It turns out that the Samsung Drivers that are given from their website do not include the ones needed to use the Odin application. When I downloaded the "Samsung Galaxy S" series drivers from another source, it was a success. There were plenty more drivers included in the second source's zip than in Samsung's given zip.

Thanks for the help and reply.
[Vibrant General] my fear:
how long does it usually take to flash the stock rom? odin started but stopped about 75% into it and has been sitting for about 10-15 mins. if i have the wrong drivers would it even start or give me an error or something?
