I have had my 8525 for over a month (an upgrade from a one year old 8125), but have recently been noticing a different problem than described on this or other PDA forums. If I am sitting around with the device and actively browsing and streaming content I have noticed the device will get pretty warm to the touch and then some problems start occuring....I loose the ability to use the touchscreen (can only use the buttons)...and....the 'select' button will start acting like the right softkey button. If I soft reset the device it does not fix the problems, but if I turn the device off and let it sit for a while and then reboot (after it has cooled off) everything works fine. Hardware problem? Anyone else experienced any of these problems? Thanks!
From what I've read here, perhaps you are seeing the "screen calibration bug" which is a heat related bug and there are threads about it.
I've watched two movies back to back (about 3 hours) on my 8525 with TCPMP, screen brightness set low, and it didn't get very warm at all.
Maybe G3 use when browsing with bright screen creates more heat? In any case I'd consider it defective.
Yep, I'd agree. Actually I have seen this problem posted before. You have an extreme example of the "heat expansion causing screen problems" issue. You can try loosening the screws on rear of screen, but honestly if it's in warranty get it replaced.
Try a hard reset (don't think it will change anything) and if it's still the same then it's certainly a hardware prob.

Thanks for the advice. I have noticed that I can use the device as a gps navigator with the screen 'on' for several hours and don't have the overheating problem or any problem with the screen, just when browsing and streaming via PIE using 3G. I will contact warranty exchange and try another unit.
Hi folks,
Am tearing my hair out with an overheating 8525. The icon shows the phone is charged up but about 2 hours later it is warning me to recharge or lose my data. During the 2 hours I have not used the phone at all. Any ideas? Another lemon phone, or is there something working in the background that keeps it "on" all the time? Other than this issue, it seems to be a pretty decent phone...
my previous device (imate k-jam/htc wizard/ same as 8125) and current hermes (jasjam) get pretty warm when browsing for a while or streaming as well as wi-fi, but i get no problems, so i'd say its a hardware problem too.
The first time my k-jam got hot it scared me and i thought the device was gonna fry. But i stream a lot with 3g on my jasjam and it gets pretty hot for a phone but nothings happened yet, and i let my k-jam get pretty hot all the time and it never malfunctioned from that.

You can check for any running programmes under memory in Settings. You should disconnect wifi when not connected - this causes battery drain and heat build up. You should also use a task manager to shut all programmes not actively being used (just tapping X does not close them. You should also check that messaging is not set to look for mail every few minutes and probably should do the "fake server trick" if you don't use push mail. Battery certainly should not flatten in two hours.

Checked settings and it had IE and several other programs running. I've unchecked them, don't have it set to receive email on the device. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks. This came at the worst time since I'm going out of town - will check back in a couple of days - unless I've tossed it out of the plane....

That may help a bit, but I think a task manager is an essential to save you looking in running programmes all the time. Something like the freeware "Magic Button" shows in the task bar all running programmes and allows you to close them down fully istead of the default which is just to minimise them. Link below. I'm still concerned that if it's heating up it is more than just a running programme though - normally it's wifi or other radio function that causes this.

i would like to add to this... i recently had a similiar problem happen on my 8525.. my phone was sleeping but very very warm to the touch... so i turn it on, opened my task manager and noticed nothing was running, but my battery was dropping about 20% per hour... i performed a soft reset and the problem went away.. i dont know what caused it, but a soft reset fixed it.. and even though it was hot my screen was still responsive, but something was causing some serious battery drain. and i cant report accurate temp stats cause ikarus battery status today plugin seems to report temp backwards.. for example, when i wake my phone its sitting at 115F per battery status, but when the battery was real hot the other day it was reporting 90F. so its obviously backwards on reporting, but it does show a 25F difference...

Yes, I think I've had that a couple of times. I have always just assumed that I'd left wifi on but not connected to any network - cos that doesn't half drain the battery (although curiously not every time - sometimes it seems quite ok left on, not connected and without getting hot). Perhaps it only gets hot if it's had a sniff at a network but fails to connect but keeps trying continuously.
This though would just be a very occasional thing, something more regular giving only 2 hours battery life is a bit puzzling.

well with wifi yes, i had that with the wizard to (left it connected all night while plugged into my charger, needless to say it wasnt responsive when i woke up). But with my 8525 it was just idle, no wifi, connected on 3G but not passing data.. very weird situation to just drain like that..
I would recommend you try a different memory card. I had the same problem but found out it was a microSD card, the phone would get hot and battery would start dropping drastically - I changed to another memory card and the problem went away.

Any idea what's going on here?

Don't know what mixmaven will say, but I suppose it's possible that quality of manufacture or poor contacts could cause the device to consume excess power trying to establish network connections or simply loop itself trying to register the card.

Well, my phone is no longer a phone, just an expensive paperweight. It was completely useless in Miami, and I could get maybe ONE call in before it would shut off from battery drain. I had NO programs running in the background, but I could see the battery charge plummeting before my eyes. Now it no longer holds a charge at all. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes, max. I'll try a soft reset like you did, but I'm not holding my breath. Battery also continues to run incredibly hot to the touch, even when "sleeping". In addition, I'm now also having ActivSync problems.... What a lemon.
Forgot to mention that it takes forever to find the network. I can't tell if I have a software, hardware, or network problem.
Sorry, just catching up - I've been out of town and obviously incommunicado...
I don't think this has anything to do with either the wifi or the memory card as it drains and heats with both the card and wifi in/on and out/off. Someone had suggested I check the running programs and only once did I see IE running. The only other program that seems to run even when it's not connected to the PC is the ActivSync.
I've done a warm reset, so I'll report any progress. Unless I throw it out the window first. I may just take it back and ask for a whole new kit....
could be a bad battery also... or a defective phone, i would maybe try the battery first, if that doesnt work then i would warranty the phone! But this has only happened to me only like twice or so, and in every case a soft reset fixed it...
Well, I've reset the thing and left it fully charged and unplugged since my last post. Still holding the charge and remains cool to the touch. Of course, I haven't used it at all, so the drive test still remains....
My device : Imate Jas Jar, see below.
My device was doing soft resets when my applications were going in and out of data contection by different software tools, data connection via Wifi or GPRS.
For example I would open Netfront 3.3, then close it and then device would soft reset. I would turn on wifi, then turn it off, the device would soft reset.
Well all I did was change the (orginial) battery over for a new one and all works fine.
All I cant work out is that the power spikes requires to do connection functions must have been to tough for the battery, hence the battery wearing it self out. I have no idea otherwise.
Any ideas...I dont !
i have the same issue now!
do you confirm that changing the battery solves the problem at 100%?
Thanks.
Bye
Yes.. a new battery did fix it.
Is this right, am I reading one of the first battery issues on a Universal running WM5 as opposed to the other battery issues under WM6?
other strange issue from me :0)
After changing to WM6 my Device( Universal) use to shut down ca. by 30-35% remaining battery reading. After following so many post here I thought my battery is going down.
However just recently for few days I have flash back the original ROM. Now comes the strange issue: After flashing the original ROM I have observed that I could use my device (with same battery) down to 5% reading.
After one week later flash back the WM6 and see there the device shutting down again by 30-35% battery reading.

I have always and still do suspected a falwed battery interface driver in WM6 but could not technically reproduce it. This is still a work in progress for me but its good to know that there might be a real problem after all in WM6.
I was recently on one of the old Dutty ROMs (V2.1 XTREME) and decided to upgrade to something newer, so I got the latest "phoenix" EnergyROM (Dec 17th) and flashed that using USPL SD bootloader.
The problem then arose that they phone was always extremely hot, specifically on the back down the bottom just above where the plastic cover for the antenna(s) is.
The battery would not charge to 100% and tBattery showed that it was drawing up to 400mA all the time, this is when plugged in and sitting on 99% charged. On a call (while plugged in) for ~20min the battery will also drop 50%.
I then did the following, which has had no affect;
Hard-reset, flash "leo" EnergyROM, hard-reset, flash Miri 6.5 ROM, hard-Reset, flash to the original Dutty v2.1 (when it was working), hard-reset.
I have tested the phone in-between all these procedures and even tried using a different (aftermarket) battery, all to no avail.
The engineer in me says it's a hardware issue, but I would like to think it's a software issue, something running at 100% consuming too much power.
I'm now looking for any ideas or advice on what could be the cause, since I have a phone that is practically unusable when not plugged in.
Cheers!

Could also be a faulty battery as I've tried to roms you mentioned and did not have the same issue with battery. If not battery it could be a hardware issue. You can buy a cheap battery easily to test this
I've already tried a second battery as I mentioned, doesn't make any difference at all.

Have you ensured that all data connections are closed, Beam turned off and no automatic updates are ticked (weather, stock, email etc). If so, then it sounds like a faulty device.
Does the exact same thing even with wireless off and in aeroplane mode.

Defo faulty device then
Hi Gussy,
I agree with Fallen Spartan and I think it's a hardware issue (battery issue).
Please try the following:
(1) Charge the battery to 100%.
(2) Disable from running or uninstall any 3rd party applications.
(3) Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi,
(4) Enable flight mode
(5) Set backlight to maximum settings.
(6) In the power management settings, uncheck any option that would set the backlight to turn off.
(7) Let phone stay idle for 1 hour and check battery capacity.
(8) If there is a loss of 40% or more, then this means that battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Regards.
Battery won't charge to 100%, only 99%.
I have done pretty much that test already, a few times, with the original and a new battery, and neither lasts the 1hr.
Ah sorry, yep sounds like a faulty device. Is it under warranty? I don't think you could even flash back to stock ROM and Radio if you are planning to return the device (even if still under warranty) because of the power consumption issue
It have about 7 days of a 1 year warranty left, from the eBay seller I got it off. Sent the guy an email, don't expect a reply though.
I can flash back to stock, I just keep it plugged in and it works fine.

Ok mate. I suppose you have done all that can be done. Hope the warranty situation works in your favour.
Best Regards.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting.
my hd as been displaying the exact same symptoms for near on a month now,
i assumed the battery was cooked but its near identical to your issues,
i aquired a hero around the same time it started playing up so i aint been that bothered but reading this got me thinking its time to think about sending it off for repair.
if as i think you meant nrgz28s rom then i also flashed the 17th dec 6.5 dusk rom build 28014.
i cant be 100% sure thats the exact time the problems started but its very close if not the exact time.
the phone was purchased around mid december last year so about the same age if yours was new.
coincidence or contract concspiracy lol?
Could this be caused by a faulthy radio>!
Hmmm, could be, but most probably still the hardware error.
Altough, combination of very mismatched radio and RIL could cause simillar symptoms...
Best check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466274
I had a similar problem.
Drain battery to about 5 - 10%
Turn phone off
Charge from a wall charger (not usb or car)
Do this a couple of times.
It fixed mine for about 6 months and then I just did it again and it sorted it out again.
Also check which radio. 1.17 seems to run cooler by most accounts.
I was initially thinking that there is a program or piece of software maxing out the resources and the cpu causing the extreme heat (the HD gets bloody hot when being pushed) and poor battery life.
I have read some threads about htc devices and their battery- life and behaviour and i didn't really read about the problem i'm having.
The device (topaz) is about 2 weeks old and i'm fairly satisfied with the batteryperformance. Playing with it for about ten minutes would make my battery drop about 5% which is very reasonable.
But lately - speaking of 3 days - i have this weird issue; the battery drains like hell; when i send 1 text message the device can drop 5-6%; which is quite much and absolutely a heavy fall suddenly, compared to what it used to be.
Also, when charging the battery, from 0-70% goes very fast, like about 10 minutes. The other 30% go slow.
I configure the device like this:
- GSM mode
- No wifi
- No bluetooth
- no data connection
System: beam is switched off, data only goes through 'my work network' and band is switched to GSM (which means no 3G - again)
My experience happens when i have no other applications (like GPS) running, and I also have G-light enabled (polling 100ms, mostly 40% backlight, and i have this running since day 1)
I did switch my rom quite often; but I always performed hard-reset and battery calibration afterwards.
installed in current order:
- Touch InCall
- Tomtom navigator
- ageye g-light
- TD2 tools (large cache settings)
- Taskbaricon 6.5.3
- Zenyee disable HTC messaging
Roms used: Dutty R6-R7
Radio: 4.49.25.17, 4.49.25.57
There are some rather aggressively power hungry ROMs and the culprit is mainly Touch flow/HTC sense.
Turn it off for a test and see if there is a difference!
Well, I do experience similar problem. My battery charges for 70% very fast and at 70% it seems to stay forever. (whole night) I haven't done anything to my phone yet. I have it just like it came from T-Mobile. I didn't install any additional application besides sbp backup. I do keep my memory running at around 40% all the time. I have Win6.1 and TF3D on. TF3D is T-Mobile customed, so not sure what manila it is based on.
Please, anybody, do you have other suggestion as what the problem may be?
I want to flash the ROM, yet with these issues I am still reconsidering. If it is faulty battery I would rather go and exchange it as it is still in warranty.
Thanks in advance for your help.
_______________________________________________________
T-Mobile Compact V

P.S.> If anybody can help me to extract my Radio and back it up I would appreciate. Thanks.
does anyone know a link to how to keep the battery in tip-top shape. I know there is a post somewhere on xda, but really don't want to look over about 1300 posts to find that. Can someone help me?

"Battery calibration is simply done by running it down completely until the phone shuts off by itself. Then remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, insert again, repeat. If the phone shuts off again in less than a few minutes you're done. Remove battery and hold power button for 1 minute, then insert battery. Don't switch on the phone. Plug the charger and recharge the battery fully until the green light is on. Then remove battery, hold power button for few seconds, insert it and switch on the phone..."
thanks for the tip. will try that. Still, a link for battery tips? I remember a post where a member explained how the battery works I am interested in knowing if it is better to drain the battery or when the battery is lo/very low it would be advised to recharge ...

Here is a link on the Wiki regarding battery consumption.
With Li-Ion batteries it is not recommended to discharge completely as it is with NiCad every 30 cycles.
If you have flashed another ROM that has changed your radio ROM, i.e. you've flashed an official ROM, the Radio ROM will be your culprit for increased battery drain. A weaker radio will constantly have to search for the best network and thus use more battery.
For a few power saving tips;
1. Setup sync times instead of pushing emails.
2. Make sure your data disconnects after use (a few programs out there for that)
3. Set your power settings to turn device off at select times of inactivity
4. Increase your file cache size.
5. Enable auto screen lock
how do you enable auto screen lock? I'd rather not use TD2 Tools. is there any other way?
This method is suitable for hd2 SD Android, not test on NAND mode. If you encounter problems as the standby battery consumption(50+ma), you can try this method to solve:
If you reboot android and monitor the standby battery drain is 3~5ma,do not happy too early and think that you get a good android rom, because after reboot,it will likely become 50+ma;
If you reboot android and monitor the standby battery drain is more than 50ma, do not despair, don't think that this version is so bad and you need to replace another immediately, because you can use this method below to fix:
Steps:
1, reboot WM, don't hurry, wait 1 minute, let's WM fully reboot, especially some softwares installed on SD but need to run when reboot. press the power button to turn off screen(not shutdown mobile), open the back cover, remove the TF card, the screen will light up, tap the power button again to turn off the screen (not shutdown), wait 10 seconds, insert the tf card, the screen lights up again, now boot android and monitor standby battery consumption, 90% under 10ma ----- In short, that is, before boot android, pull out and plug in TF card;
2, if fail, you need pull out and plug in battery before reboot WM, then repeat the above steps;
If works, please say thanks
Don't charger when monitor standby battery drain, please use currentwidget monitor and use its log function to record. What is "the standby power consumption" pls consult Mr. Google.
Other users reported that changing the sd to another one solved the high drain in standby for them, so you basically are saying the same.
I use the original 2GB card the few times I decide to test android, because first time I tested superram build, my 16GB card got wiped for some unknown reason; I may as well see if your method changes anything.
Worked for me! Tnx!
Had 50+mA wen using android sd, very annoying because in the beginning I had no problems.
Now it's back on 8mA! Tnx!
Thanks
Thanks for the solution, seems to work every now and then when i get high drain on standby ^^ thanks
At first try, this seems to work well. I was getting 60+ ma usage in standby with Darkstone's SuperRAM build, even with a fresh install. Going through this little bit of voodoo got my standby usage down to the 5-8ma range. Thanks for finding this, though I don't like thinking about how much trial and error it took to discover.
I just hope I don't have to do this every time I reboot.
Thanks...
Was getting low power usage through this morning, when I unplugged the phone from the charger. I had left Android running on the phone overnight. I discovered that the HD2 was back to using 60ma when I got back to work. Repeated the magic spell, and I was back down to 8ma in standby. Really strange. Does anyone have any kind of explanation for this behavior?
Wow thx work like a charm.
imrazor - My theory is by pulling the SD card out in WM you stop all applications that use the SD and when you boot android the SD card is only used by android. Well thats what I think ^^
The point is it works and we now have better MA in standby.
Sort of works
The SD fix does take the standby drain to around 7mA, however I can only wake the phone once. The next time I try to power up, my phone never cuts on, and I have to pull the battery.
This is exactly what I am looking for. I will try it. Is it possible to write a program in WM to do this instead of pulling out SD Card?

That's an amazing solution.
If someone can tell me what to kill, I can try do create this nice prog...
Any idea why it works?
Didn work for me... Dont know did I do it right? I normaly shutdown my phone, do those things with the sd card (plug in plug out) and when I start android continuesly 50-70mA on stanby.. I did the battery thing and still the same...
Have MIUI SD ROM.
Current changed from time to time from 5-8mA to 50-70mA and back.
Killing all applications sometime give effect to decrease current.
Switching off autolight sensor sometime give effect to decrease current.
Sometime call in/call out give increase current.
Switching off in-pocket and near-ear sensors (call settings) give good effect to decrease current.
...
continue testiing
my head is overheat
switching on near-ear sensor after call return power consumption to 60-70mA.
switching off near-ear sensor not give decrease current.
call in/out not give effect.
sw on/off auto backlight not give effect.
sometime callout decrease current to 6-8mA,
but best result give system restart
Turn off HTC Sense

HD2 SD android standby battery drain 50+ma comes from 3 places:
1) What was running in Windows Mobile when you boot Android
2) The Android ROM you use
3) What is running in Android
1) The answer is turn off HTC Sense
When I turn off HTC Sense in Windows Mobile I get much better battery drain in Android. If I do not turn off HTC Sense then I usually get standby battery drain 50+ma. So flap can you create a nice prog to turn off HTC Sense etc. and then boot Android?
HTC Sense is not the only program. In addition to turning off Sense first, running a RAM cleaner (e.g. cleanRAM) in Windows Mobile will also help or - even better - reboot Windows Mobile without HTC Sense before launching Android.
2) use Portadroid to easily try different SD Android ROMs
3) see BetterBatteryStats

I started having this problem one day randomly (after i installed some new apps). However, even after i installed all the new updates and apps the problem persisted. I tried this method you mentioned and now my battery standby drainage is back to 7mA (instead of 30-60mA). Don't know how it works, but it solved my problem. I have since reinstalled the apps that I wanted and it has been working fine for 24hours...
thanks man
hi i just ask you what mean Tf Crad? SD card or SIM card
Hello, it doesn't work for my HTC Leo. I have battery drain 230-800 ma on the latest MIUI SD ROM. Any idea what should I do next? Maybe I must change the program, that measure the battery current? Now I'm using CurrentWidget.
Thank you, I will test it.
