This is a long standing if somewhat unannounced feature of Motorola phones.
Usually the display and / or keyboard lights (if extant) come on too when
external power is applied, since this no longer drains the battery.

You guys seem to know your stuff on the moto t720, could you answer
these questions if poss?

What is the latest firmware? Mine has got T720_G_05.06.18R

Can it be upgraded at a local Motorola service point? The phone is
just over a year old, so I think it's out of warranty.



Thanks guys,

Chris

That sounds like a GSM one and the firmware often varies from carrier to
carrier. Your carrier should be able to update the firmware.

Apparently the GSM version has been quite nice from the start. The early
CDMA version here in the colonies had quite a few teething problems. I have
been having good luck with mine, but am keeping my fingers crossed. (Hope
that translates from American to English :-))

Some chargers will make the light stay on all the time, namely OEM Vehicle &
Travel chargers and some AC/DC combo chargers.
