Shift is heating up after Permroot??

Is it just me or the shift getting extremly hot after permroot. I would be playing angry birds on it while charging and it warms up till the point it stops charging and it starts blinking red and green. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Its probably just you...sounds like a defect. Id go exchange it asap.
powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...

I tested mine out and can confirm that I don't have this issue after playing the game for 1 hour.

U might try re-setting the battery data in recovery?

why not go back to stock ruu and test it out quickly?
i think it's just a defective phone and not the root

Did you overclock it?

I think that might of done it. I'm charging while using the fm radio while browsing and no extreme heats so far. There always times I wish the xda app let me thank the members.
BTW I'm not overclocked or using a custom Rom. All stock besides permanent root and recovery

I think my phone is heating up after root, I tried the data stats wipe out: nothing changed.
I wonder if I'll be able to exchange it after rooting.

Sprint are being dildos of the highest caliber. I told them it overheats, and they changed the battery with a "new one". I opened the Shift to see it and guess what --it is and old scratched beat up battery. I showed it to the manager and his response was "We don't have any new batteries in stock, so we replace them with used ones". Can you believe it. I filed two complaints with fcc and bbb
If I don't hear anything from them I'll probably end up paying their restocking fee ($35) just before the 30 days, which is like pissing money away . I should have bought it from Best Buy. They throw in a free handset on top.

WARNING! Transformer could have caused a fire!!!

I was laying in bed last night when I plugged in my Transformer to charge it and the ac adapter started to buzz and when I touched it the ac adapter started to spark. The ac adapter was 0B-1LF
Just wanted everyone to know and to be careful.

If it does start a fire, I smell lawsuits.

More likely, reading the thread from the "new posts" link in the header, didn't notice which forum the thread was in, and assumed the OP meant "Transformer" as in "ac adapter", not as in a brandname.

This could very well be an issue with your electrical, and less with the adapter.
That said, Asus has shown itself to be pretty bad at making consistently good products, so a few bad (even very bad, apparently) apples/chargers wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I believe you. Someone else's here actually melted.

Whoa, Asus has a defense dept contract to manufacture mines?

Damn, that charger got jacked up. I have always used Asus motherboards in my computers (Maximus IV Extreme, currently) and never had any problems. I did get the "faulty charger" with my TF, but it never showed any signs of trouble from the week I had it.

Mine gets hot but not hot enough to melt. Was it plugged into the wall directly, extension cable, or power strip? You in the US?
I had a charger for my MacBook melt and shoot sparks, and even though it was way out of warranty they still replaced it for me at the apple store. Now I always use surge protectors and other high quality power strips.

I didn't mean any harm when I said that. I take it back if you feel offended by it
I kinda figured you were probably reading the "New Posts" using the xda app.
Anyways, back on topic. Like some others have said, it might be caused by a sudden voltage spike from the outlet. Where do you live and is it plugged into the wall directly? I know some countries have really "dirty" power and instability killing electronics all the time.

Did you end up contacting Asus about this?
If yes, what did they say or do about it?

We didn't start the fire, It was always burning , Since the world's been turning, We didn't start the fire

If you do a little searching, you will see that similar issues have occurred with the charger. It appears that the contacts between the charger body and the country adapter are very fragile and can easily result in a high resistance connection which then heats up the plastic case and allows the connection to get even worse. I am sure ASUS does not manufacture the charger, but rather buys it on the open market to their specs. I would never leave my TF charging and leave the house or go to sleep.

there was a thread here about 0B-1F (i 'm pretty sure there was supposed to be an "L" in it).
a member here was told that those "power supplies" were faulty.

Xoom Charging Port Broke

Hi,
I was charging my Xoom yesterday and my dog ran around and tripped on the cable. The charger bent and wouldn't work anymore. I bought a new charger thinking that was the problem, but it won't charge either. I assume that the port itself broke somehow.
It's the WiFi model, i bought from Best Buy without any protection plan. Does anyone know offhand what the cost of repair would be via Motorola and turnaround time?
Or better yet, some other way to charge it? (i wish the mini USB would work)
Thanks

Put the dog up for adoption.
Go to motos website and jump on a chat to see what they say.
Don't put the dog up for adoption.

I posted it on the Moto forums, thanks. Also, I heard the dock charges it without using the normal port, is that true? Would that work?

I too was going to suggest the dock. I am fairly certain it charges through the USB.

Thanks, i'll do this, but can anyone 100% confirm that would work in my situation? It would be greatly appreciated.

Dock will charge it. It charges through the exposed metal sockets you see on the bottom, not through USB. But it will work I have one.
Cheers.

You should go to ifixit.com and look for a teardown. Try and find the part on EBay or see if you can order through Moto. That sucks.

The dock is/was on sale at BestBuy. That's your immediate best bet.

But that's a big inconvenience. I have the dock and I think I only used it once. You'd have to have a boner to be able to rest that dock on you when you're using it in bed.

Just a + 1 for confirmation.
I find the crappy little charge port & jack to be one of the VERY few cons about the Xoom. The 2 gold plated connectors at least offer hope that I could fabricate another charger (apple laptop style) if ever necessary.

Fried Epic

I know this is unfixable but I want to see if you guys could know why this happened. A few months ago in winter 2012 my sister epic 4G got rained on and her battery is now pink. But nothing happened .now yesterday while she was charging her phone the charger blew and her micro USB port was broke. Just when you think it couldn't get worse when I let her use my battery I turn her phone on and it was bootlooping like crazy. When it finally booted It was stuck in safe mode and when you unlocked the phone it would reboot. I then went into recovery to wipe and it was frozen in recovery. Then when I reboot it (Battery Pull) kept rebooting into recovery. Then I kicked it out of recovery with the home button but the volume keys weren't working in recovery so I couldn't wipe. I think she has major bad luck. I never experienced something like this EVER. She in contract until July 2013 so she can't easily switch. She still in college so she needs her phone. Why do you think all this happened? She is also stock FC09 not rooted.

Water damage doesn't immediately "show itself" sometimes... probably a delayed reaction to the water damage...

It is also possible the USB port is shorting which caused the charger to blow and the strange behavior. Try with the battery out, clean the phone port with 91% alcohol using a toothbrush. Let it dry for a half hour. Then see if you can get it into download mode and reflash stock FC09 through odin.

Ahh its done no responce with USB At all . Its officially Dead. When I wiggled the USB after cleaning the port like you said to get Odin to see it. No responce. I don't know what to tell her. She's gonna have to find an old sprint phone 1 Less Epic 4G .

Actually, I have successfully unbricked my other epic, so now I have two.... I have 2 peoplee who have dibs right now,, but if they don't contact me by Monday, it yours (or your sisters, lol)... the only thing I ask is you cover the shipping... let me know...

Still available... doesn't look like the other 2 will be contacting me... pm me if interested...

If your epic 4g is sprint and you aren't sending it in for a replacement, I'm still looking to get my hands on a dead 4g for shipping costs. Let me know if you are interested.

I'll go more in dept. She said the guy at sprint looked at her phone. Didn't even check the battery and said it looks like the phone has water damage. And to get it replace she has to buy insurance then file a claim.

If it doesn't like to charge anymore then its from the battery getting wet maybe. When my sons continy drowned in his backpack from a water bottle I dried it out for awhile in rice, battery too.
Amazon has cheap bats and extended bats and case for continuum.

Yeah, that might be the case in part, but there is also the issue of the phone registering that is is plugged in only after twisting and bending the cord around the phone in a certain manner... It isn't the cord, because I tried it with like four others--it is definitely the phone itself... I think i'll keep this phone though until the Sammy S IV is released (and unlockable by devs ) for Verizon off contract So I still have some time to fiddle around!

I bought an external battery charger for mine off ebay for 5, I saw some for a little more with a battery. Then it wouldn't have to charge via the phone and you would have an extra battery.
Having said all that, are you working on one last great master mod release. Your continuum magnum opus?

That's what I've got. The desk charger came with a "Y" usb cord so I can have one battery charging in the charger and still plug the phone in. It's great having that second battery, if the phone gets low just swap them out and go. And it is a factory Samsung battery, so no issues with it.

I had an extended battery for mine when it was daily driver. Now mine is sitting in a draw so if you need anything testes I don't mine flashing it, I just need to flash to gb first since I went to froyo because the gb leak kept boot looping.
