Hey guys,
This issue has been brought up in a few threads, but not properly discussed with a solution. Issue is as follows:
X10 + Gps Application = kick ass gps system with beautiful screen
Having the screen on drains the battery heaps, so I bought a in-car charger. The first one I bought was a crappy cheap one, so I replaced it with a good one that charges the phone properly.
THE ISSUE: After about 20 minutes driving, the combination of the display being on and the phone charging causes the phone to get quite hot (about 40 degrees C from my calculations). This triggers a feature in the phone to disable charging until the temperature reduces.
END RESULT: Overall, the battery drains even though the phone is plugged into power. It drains reasonable slow (about 40% for 2 hours driving) but is still frustrating.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I have not rooted my X10, but I was wondering if using the "setcpu" app to reduce the CPU speed to like 233Mhz or something once the temp goes above like 35 degrees may help. Could someone confirm or test for me?
INTERIM SOLUTION: If I really need the phone to charge, I just lock the screen while driving and listen to the voice commands. This results in the phone not overheating and charging whilst driving. If it helps, I use Sygic, Google Navigation and CoPilot, all with the same result of overheating.
It would be great if we could get to an acceptable resolution for this issue as this is a feature that I really want to be able to use often,
Thanks guys, look forward to the replie!
Starsky.
Also, running the .20 firmware on a generic UK x10
im on build .23 - rooted, i just drove about 4 hours with both Google Navigation & Motonav at the same time, had no problems at all!
im not using setcpu.
it might also get warm from the burning sun.... try placing it away from direct sunlight.
Thanks for the reply Joel.
Im in Australia so its winter at the moment, no worries about the sun
I have the phone in cradle connected to the air vent, so I did at first think the hot air from that may be causing it to overheat, so I turned the vent off but it hasnt made a difference.
It seems to be a random amount of time before the phone gets too hot, some days it happens after a an hour, other days it happens after 10 minutes, not sure what causes it. I might try rooting the phone so I can get .23 firmware and see if that helps, thanks for the feedback.
Cheers.
Since you have it placed in front of the vent, the air conditioner blowing cold air on it should be able to keep the temperature down

You may want to check your car charger output.
If the output is very high, say 1A, your battery will get fully charged much faster, phone & temp will be much higher than say at 500mA.
you definitely do need to check your car charger. I have it plugged in with Navigation on (which leaves the screen on ) and it actually GAINS battery charge. Looking at about 1% every 5 minutes.
I have same problem. Need charging while using navigation but it gets too hot. Will try to mount in front of airblower. Did not have this problem with x1.

I have the same issue here. The phone heats up quite a bit when using Google navigation and it being plugged in to charge. I'm not sure if this is normal.
Using Google uses both the GPS and Data functions and might be the reason why the phone gets warm. It works harder!
I use IGO 8 and have no overheating issues whatsoever. I am rooted and use SetCPU (using the default "on demand" option).
My battery lasts a very long time anyways, but charging during use it does not cause overheating.
BTW OP! On most cars, even if you have a individual vent closed. If the heating is on to the rest of the vents, that vent will still radiate heat as warm air is blown into the back of the vent fins and they will heat up. Put your hand over this and feel it to confirm. I use a windshield mount and the phone is in direct sunlight a lot of times.
thanks for all your replies.....
quick question, those of you who have said they are able to keep the screen on and charge at the same time...which charger are you using, the official SE one?
If not, can you post a link to where you bought it?
Cheers.
hi guys, is anyone messing about with these yet, just been flicking through the sections and didnt come across a thread for these models, just wondered why, any help appreciated!
i dont think they've sold as many as the gen 8's. simply because the releases were so close to eachother.
Close to each other?
1 year is not close.
The reason might be that the devs still are waiting for the real version, the 1.5GHz OMAP4460 before buying one.
me too
i wait !!!!!!!!!!
Not a bad idea either way... Can someone lQQk into it?
y but mainly i dont wait for the CPU power but for (hopefully) some usefull memory setup (1GB) and not the same crap they did to the Gen8 series.
Really they build such a nice device but the only thing preventing it form being AWSOME is the low memory...
What is the average data transfer rate of the WiFi radio in the Gen 9 tablets?
I'm curious if it is the same Bull Sh_t max 54 meg/sec rate in the Gen 8's, which just barely allowed Archos to label it as having 801.11n capability.
i have all gen9 with 1ghz
if you have questions !
I got the 80 G9 yesterday. Looks good. Zippy. But I see there is at least a second lag between pressing the power button and the lock screen coming on. and today morning, I think (after a night's rest), it went into a SOD. I had to hold down power screen for a reboot. Anyone else?
Had mine for over a month now...
I like it a lot. It's a lot snappier than the Gen8 models. Archos did increase the memory by 50% but didn't go to 1GB unfortunately; still, it works very well at 768MB.
I got mine on September 27th and I've been using it daily ever since. Works very well. The only negatives I have to say about it is that they haven't released the 3G stick for the US yet and it does sometimes lockup and require a reboot. Archos has released three updates since I got mine. The tablet froze on me twice the first weekend I had it; keep in mind that I was really using it hard during this time, adding apps and music and such. After I finalized my initial setup, it became more stable. I received an update the first week I had it, if memory serves, and afterward it was very stable. Then I received a second update a week or so ago and afterward, it started locking up periodically again. I downloaded the latest update last night and I'm hoping it corrects the locking up issue but nothing was said about that in the change logs. Even so, it might lock up once or twice a week and is easy and quick to reset; so, it hasn't been a major issue for me yet. I'd still like to see them stabilize the device though.
Regards,
Jack
Hi Jack,
I've just received one and it has the ripple just in front of the full size USB port when you press on the back. Have you seen this problem or heard anything definite about the fix/repair for this issue?
Thanks
Are you referring to something you see on the screen, like a pressure point as if the screen is being squeezed? If so, I have seen that on mine from time to time but haven't been concerned about it. If I had to guess, I would say that they packed a little to much hardware in the case at that point.
Is that the battery of A80 G9 is as much as the A70IT? I search on google and everything is culculated by using hour but not mA.
I don't really know if it's the same battery or not. If I had to guess, I would say it's more likely the same one that was in their 101 model from last year (or similar) because the screen on the A80 is quite a bit larger than the A70 and brighter too. But I just don't know. For all I know, it could be a completely new battery. I do know that the battery life on the tablet is very good. I mostly use mine for reading ebooks, internet browsing and e-mail and I normally get a couple of days out of it before charging and even then, it's usually at the 30 - 50% level when I plug it up. I have no complaints about the battery to date.
So how many percent that the battery drains per hour when u r brownsing via wifi or reading book? The A70IT's battery is 3850mA and it is not enough for me. But the A80 is running Android 3.0 so I think It will drain more battery than A70 running Android 2.2 does.
I have the A70 too; used that up until the A80 came out. I never really had trouble with the A70 running out of power on me but it seems to me that the A70 does drain faster than the A80. I haven't really monitored it in any scientific way. If it were giving me problems I would but it works well so I haven't bothered. I read on it more than I browse and I'll read anywhere from a few minutes, an hour or sometimes two or more hours at a time. And it seems to drain pretty slowly to me.
I also use it for testing mobile solutions at work and sometimes have it on for an hour or more at a time while running tests. I can't give you any sort of accurate number but it does do well on battery. If you've used an iPad any, I would estimate that it is comparable to the iPad for active battery use. I don't know about idle because mine is never idle more than a few hours at a time while my iPad is sometimes idle for days at a time. I suspect, that on idle, it wouldn't compare as well to the iPad because for some reason, Archos likes to leave that power LED burning all the time.
Anyway, when compared to the A70, in my usage, the A80 seems to do better on battery use. I used to have to charge my A70 every night but like I said ealier, I only charge my A80 about every other day and if anything, I use it a little more than I did the A70.
---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------
Oh by the way, I used to leave the Wi-Fi turned off on my A70 to conserve battery; just turned it on when I needed it. I don't do that on the A80 and it still does better.
Thank 4 ur information. I've tested A80 at a retail store and a surprising thing was that the back of the A80 began to get hotter after 5 minutes watching youtube and began extremely hot after ~10 minutes. I dont know that device had any technical problem or not but my A70 was hot if I brownsed or watched youtube for more than half an hour. I think when the A80's chip is getting hot, It will drain more battery.
And one more thing, is the soft keyboard of A80 sensitive or not? I cant test it because the salesman was not happy when I had a device test. My A70 got a problem that after I have a long press on the screen, It will take 1s delay to press another key. For example, when Im gonna type [email protected] on my A70 soft keyboard, the screen just only appears [email protected] (letter "g" is disappeared). I make a long press on letter "A" to type "@" instead of use "alt". Is it normal or not?
I started having this weird problem the past few days. My tablet seems to become very hot while charging. It also runs quite hot when on wifi. As a result the battery performance seems to be degrading. Any light on this...our has anyone faced similar problem. A possible solution to this would be highly appreciated.

if you read the user manual which comes with the tablet ( pdf is also available on official website) they have mentioned it in manual that tablet can get hot while charging and using processor intensive tasks like wifi and games. They have also said that it will not affect the longevity of tablet or battery in any way . My tablet does get a little warm while charging and after heavy usage. i guess its universal

I wouldn't worry if the tablet was getting a little warm. But the moment i turn on the screen, the left side of the tablet. both back and front become exceedingly warm even without running any intensive programs. The issue started about 2-3 days back only. i never had this problem before.
While charging the tablet is literally quite hot, and like I said more on the left side.
I think I need to go to a service center to get it checked.

If the battery gets hot, the effects are similar to those of overcharging. You know how bad overcharging would be. So I recommend you to take a deeper look into the issue.
Taking it to service center is a good idea; but since the service center would wipe your tablet clean anyway, so why don't you check if there are any background processes that have been causing this acting up lately? Messengers like whatsapp/line, screen lock apps, weather and news widgets, adware/free games with ad are examples of the apps that would be taking background resources, you would like to check whether you have installed new apps like that.
Most background processes usually won't cause your battery to act up, except when they got stuck on something. You probably couldn't fix it by yourself so you would better track them down and remove them.
TasKiller is one of the app that could show you background processes. There are countless others good app for the same purpose.
My tablet has been on charge (while off) for almost 24hrs and still hasn't fully charged yet.
What gives?

Do you use the stock wall charger to charge it?
I just posted a very positive review of the TF300 today and just got back home after being at work for ten hours. I left the dock and tablet at over 95%, but just got home to find the dock at 0% and the tablet at 46%. This is obviously awful and makes the Toshiba Excite seem great in comparison.
Settings:
MobileDock battery saving mode is on
Disconnect network during sleep is on
Set to balanced mode
Set to turn off after two minutes
I turned the tablet off before I closed to the dock and when just opened the display was off.
The only two listings are 64% for screen and 36% for idle.
Is this normal? If so, this is abnormal.
weird, i don't recall that ever happening to me... try it again, charge it to %100 and leave it on sleep mode at night and check in the morning if the problem persists. if so you may have a defective unit so return it using your warranty.

Another thing I notice is at least in Dolphin, the browser crashes when trying to view Flash video in full screen. I have never had that happen with any tablet or phone before. Weird. Like always, set in desktop mode for user agent.
Edit: Must have been a fluke since a restart fixed it. need to charge now anyway to see if I get the drain again.
I noticed if you turn off the tablet then dock it, the tablet will turn back on. But have never noticed a battery loss that significant. So be sure to dock the tablet first then power down the tablet.

I've had mine for over a month now. Had something similar happen one time. Best I could figure out was ICS did not properly shut down a game I had running. I assume it was just a rare random occurence.

You should check out the new dolphin beta that just came out today, supposedly wickedly fast. It is here: http://dolphin-browser.com/2012/06/dolphin-browser-is-the-fastest-html5-mobile-browser-try-out-our-dolphin-engine-in-beta/
It did it again last night:
Made sure no apps were pushing data and turned notifications off for all apps
Restarted the device and opened no apps
Five minutes later I put the device to sleep (closed it).
The display was off
Result: This morning the dock was dead and the tablet was at 65%. This was after only six and a half hours (I usually do not sleep much).
The only activity was the display at 84% and idle at 16%. I checked a few times through the seam of where the KB and tablet are closed and the display was off for thirty minutes before went to sleep. I then had to get up a few hours later to let my dog out and the display was still off.
The last time I had problems like this was the infamous A500 problems where the display would come on, stay on and the device would die. In this case, the display is not coming on, yet the display is eating the battery and the device is warm (dock and tablet). The A500 was obvious, since the display was on.
Folks, I just want something to work correctly. My HTC View loses 5% over three days and my iPad 3 wifi loses 1%.
How can the display be off, yet the device be warm and the battery log show the display is the majority of the usage? No doubt the display was off (at least at the times I checked).
The display is the majority of the usage period. When in normal yesterday with 100% brightness the display used 99% of my battery use. That extra 1% was for the dozen or so apps I had used. The fact that the idle hit that high is a good thing but something else may be affecting it.
Have you tried disconnecting the tablet from the dock and then letting it sleep?
That is my next test, but if they can not behave together, the value of having the TF300 diminishes. I would need to keep them is need to leave seperate, since defeats the function for me.
I see the point in at least testing to see if the dock is the issue. Could be a bum unit, but also could be the dock does not like cards being left in.

My tf300t works amazingly without any battery problems.. I'm a very heavy user of it. also try getting that app that monitors background/network process...forgot name if someone could help. Also the dock could be at fault since the dock automatically turns on the tf300t same as if you would charge it with the cable it turns it on while charging.
I believe the build.prop mod contains something about deep sleep that might help ya but if ur in the 30 days just replace it why bother when u might have an intermittent defective unit . problems that can happen once in a while might be a pain in the ass later on.
I do not regret choosing this tablet over everything else on the market it works great and it is replacing a laptop for me.

I've had no problems with the battery on my tf300. It lasts all day when I use it (and because it's new I'm giving it some heavy use) and when I do need to charge it it only takes an hour or two. Maybe because you just close it something doesn't shut off. I don't own the dock.... Yet but when I do I think the extra life out of that will be awesome. On a second thought I was also wondering what would happen if you just left it on the charger overnight? I put my phone in a dock to make it my alarm clock every night with no problems. Is a tablets battery different that it wouldn't be healthy for it to be left on the charger? Or does it needs to fully drain then charge to 100%?

I agree it is nice system so hope I figure it out. My Office Max dock should be in soon, so have to return this dock anyway. OM was $100 (sale) and BB is $150. BB matched the OM price on the tablet ($350), but the dock was not in stock at OM. Ended up ordering one online from them.

I normally do leave it on charger but it is problematic when away from home, since uses as much battery as when on. Not to mention it can not be doing the batteries any good.

For process of elimination I tested the battery drain with the sdxc card out of the dock. This seems to help, but still have over 20% battery drain (a lot less, but still bad).
Next step is the tablet on its own and then I will test with my newer dock, since just came in from Office Max (need to return the $150 one to Best Buy). Hoping the dock was the issue since if the dock and tablet can not behave together, I will return them and not dwell on it anymore.
Hoping the drain is gone so can keep Having the sd card, micro sd and 32gb internal solves all my gaming and media needs, but need the batteries to not bleed out when should be asleep (not practical to travel with- as is).

Aftera few full cycles i notice battery depletion much slower also I keep the tablet in balance and performance when gaming things like nova 3 and tegra stuff etc. And around 25-30% brightness is more than enough indoor . My battery last me all day on 1 charge including the dock wich it charges arund 60-65% extra battery. This are just estimates through my experience with it not concrete data.

I have 40 more days to return the tablet with Best Buy, so want to see what the issue may be and avoid resinstalling everything and setting up if can avoid it.
I really like the tablet and also that it is not clocked higher (better for heat and battery). It plays N64, PSX and MAME Reloaded fine. Ditto for Flash and hidef video content. Touch response is as good as my iPad 3 and former Toshiba Excite.
Also, for $350 the tablet is REALLY nice. Not wanting to paying much more, since already have a 64gb iPad 3 (2X the cost of the Asus). I mainly use Android tabs for Flash sites that do not work on the iPad (Amazon Prime is example) and game emulators. Heck, even books and comics look sweet on the 300
Along with the dock, the 300 makes a GREAT mini-system for games and media
Besides, I am not a fan of 1920X1200 displays being pushed by the Tegra 3 and no gpu modification. The chips sweet spot is 1280X800. My iPad 3 rocks with hi res but has a bigger gpu to support it.
Update: Even with the new dock the batteries are sucking dry. 20% gone in a little over an hour. It is like the display is on, based on the drain.
Will test tonight with just tablet, since same result with two docks.
I hate to ask this because it's seems so obvious & condescending - but what have you installed? Did you try doing a factory reset? I've had 5 android phones and few times I've loaded some obscure piece of software that killed the battery. I've even loaded ROMs that sucked the battery down with no mods.
I ask because I just got my TF300 yesterday and played with it all night without charging it. I did the 4.0.30 OTA update as soon as it booted up. I let the keyboard completely die and left the tablet (undocked) this morning with 56% on it. I didn't put either on the charger because I want to see roughly how long it will run without doing so. I'm hoping I have no problems such as yours, but I'm watching this thread closely.
Ok, so you know what my usage is - Like I said, I left this morning (6:30) with the keyboard dock battery dead & the tablet battery at 56%. I got home this evening (5:00) and the tablet was at 53%.
Luckily I'm not seeing the problem you are (though I haven't tried to charge the keyboard yet), but at least you have a warranty to fall back on.
Ok, I searched the forum about this topic and didn't really find anything answering my questions. I'm currently coming from a Droid RAZR and it ran hot to say the least. I can't get a straight answer on this phone's operating temperatures and I'm trying to determine whether to put a thick case on or not(with almost no bezel, I'm paranoid it will break on first drop). From what I've read, about 60% of people aren't reporting very much heat. The other 40% say there is a huge problem and most have had to replace their phones thinking it was a defect.
When it came to my RAZR, at rest with a case on, battery temperature would sit at just under 87 F. Under heavy use, I've hit over 124 F. Without a case, 83 F, the highest I've hit is just under 117 F. Extremely significant when you can't remove the battery and swap it out. I believe that it led to it's premature failure. I want to avoid that with this phone.
Is anybody keeping track of their phone and battery temperatures?
What apps and/or widgits do you use?
What is the normal at rest temperature?
What is the heavy use temperature?
Thanks everyone. My phone gets here in a few days and I want to be ready with a case.
I don't keep track of it. However this phone does get really hot (uncomfortable to hold) when playing games. With Tpu cases this was less noticeable. But lately I installed skinomi stickers for back protector, and it always bother me when it gets hot this way.
That being said, normal uses such as Internet, music, YouTube, xda, camera.... The phone only becomes slightly warm.

I keep wondering why no one makes cases that help dissipate heat, for how hot modern phones get! If anything, most cases insulate the phone and make them get even hotter!

Admittedly, I'm not a gamer but the only times I've felt the device get hot enough to register with the Incipio Feather case were: 1) after a wipe/flash, and all my apps were downloading again from the Play Store and 2) when wiping and the device was plugged into the wall charger (CPU temp was around 100 degrees) - other than these 2 instances, I've never felt heat thru my Feather case.

The case I had been using with the RAZR was a TPU hybrid. I also went to a skin because of the heat. I don't think I cando that with this phone. I'm too clumsy.

I was actually looking at getting the dual pro. Thanks for the feedback. Exactly the type I'm looking for.
Honestly i just replaced my phone due to overheating issues. It would literally shut down or restart just running the camera for too long. After reading some other reports in the forums I decided to send it in and get a replacement. My new one came in yesterday and absolutely no overheating issues. Even can run antutu without a reboot (my other G2 would reboot about 14% in). So from my experience there was a batch that had some thermal issues... I got mine the first day it came out. Loving this second one

Does anybody know if we can track manufacture/release date using the serial numbers?
I am using this case full time: http://goo.gl/0u05G5
I use Battery and CPU-Z to check battery temps. Even with over an hour of straight gaming, I have yet to see it get above 98F. I constanty run the screen at 80% brightness as well, as that can be a contributing factor. The games I have played this long with are Riptide GP and Madden 25.
You really cant feel any heat through this case, and hand temps are too subjective anyway.

I keep wondering why no one makes cases that help dissipate heat, for how hot modern phones get! If anything, most cases insulate the phone and make them get even hotter!

yeah, especially while gaming.. and it's not the battery drain that concerns me, the heat is ridiculous for long term gaming..
and slapping a case would be good for your hand but not for your phone
plus there's not one manufacturer that make cases for heavy gaming yet..
i wonder what the case would look like if it was made for dissapating heat.. probably has a lot of thermal pipelines built in that would be awesome..

One thing I've noticed from people's screenshots is that the screen doesn't use that much battery. My RAZR would sometimes draw 46%. I'm sure that also contributed to the heat. smh.

lol, I've actually thought about making a case like that, then I realized if there was a way to burn myself, I'd find it.

I'm currently in the design step of a case that uses tubing to disperse heat at the top corners of the phone to cool it down and keep heat away from the hand.
If you'd like to give input shoot me a pm and we can discuss it further.
OnT: I very rarely pass 24c on mine, then again I never game on my phone either. Highest I've hit was 42c during some testing.

Are you guys talking about battery temps or cpu temps?
Get the app CpuTemp from play store, it overlays cpu temp while you're doing whatever, enable only the top two options, enable overlay and start on boot.
Then get stability test app and run the first option at top, classic test.
Then report back here with your temp after you do the stress test for about 27 seconds. I hit 66c after 27 seconds.
Curious to see what everyone else hits.

Is overheating an issue when wifi tethering? I want to use this thing for desktop PC games and downloads; does it overheat after hours and hours of intense wifi hotspot use?

I have used it for a couple hours and it gets warm. Not warm enough for me to worry about checking the temperature.

Thanks for your feedback. Would you say it was with heavy usage?
I have made the tests , and i get 72 °C after 1:20 secs running the standard test. About 35 °C in idle,and about 50-55 °C when i am using the phone for facebook,browser,youtube. Is this ok? (These are Cpu Temps).

My G2 gets also around 55°C when using the phone normally (youtube, browser, etc.) and over 67-68°C while gaming. I think this is normal for a high frequency 4 cores CPU. Right?
Hey, I received my LG G2 yesterday and i've been experiencing cpu temperatures of:
42-48C being idle
52-59C during browsing, facebook, viber etc
62-64C when on youtube (after the first 5 seconds)
65C when on gps
As for the stress test after 1:20 and up to 20:00 it was around 72-74 C
The phone feels hot all the time though with no apparent reason.
Screen brightness is set to 30% all the time, 3g connection is off and I only keep Wi-fi on. I even tried turning off features like gestures, I don't know if it is of any relevance.
Of course I haven't trying gaming yet, since I'm not really interested in it, but I want my smartphone to be functional without burning up.
Should I return it and ask for a replacement? Or is it an issue with LG G2 or Snapdragon 800 generally? Will it be a waste of time?
