Read what I said in my previous posting.

When your device is powered OFF and you connect it to charger, it will not turn on, it will enter ACT_DEAD mode.
What this means, is that altough the kernel starts to execute, no UI is presented to user and most of the device drivers are not initialized.

This is done to have lookalike-compability with the previous generation of Nokia smartphones (and dumbphones) which behaved this way, when you put a switched-off phone to charer, it will charge but not turn on.

To override this behaviour you need some additional SW in the phone, for example a more flexible boot manager (that's ubiboot for you...)

Well, neither of those are really usable, IMHO, but you might find out they are suitable for you.
