"Charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low - Epic 4G General

I was talking to my daughter on the phone tonight and she got the following message on her phone
"Charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low"
Unfortunately I don't have the phone with me to inspect it further until tomorrow
The phone is rooted and running EF02
I just got it at the beginning of last month brand new phone and battery
30 days are almost up in a couple more days
I need to decide if i'm going to odin back to stock and return it or ask for a new one
I searched in the epic forums here and didn't find a thread on this exact subject
I am just worried that this could be potentially dangerous. It's obviously a safety feature so something definately isn't right. I realize there are tons of battery issues for this phone.
If anyone else has experienced this or has a solution please let me know
I will give more details tomorrow when I inspect the phone

That's really nit that serious...it just pauses charging when the phone gets to hot...plain and simple no harm done....and your really still running DK28 lol, EC05 and our EF02 leaks are pretty good you should try them out

Edited post Sorry it actually is on EF02
Through my experience of owning a **** load of android phones
I have never seen this once.
Obviously something isn't right.
Her old phone was a Vibrant and I had a Nexus S as my last phone and neither one have ever seen this message and trust me I used the hell out of my nexus and felt it get so hot that it almost would burn you I even thought the screen might crack.
Point is I'm not a noob and I am looking for a real answer not some douche answer.
I personally will never buy a samsung phone again for myself but my daughter loved her vibrant so I told her I would get here pretty much the same phone.
It can't be that common because I didn't see any other posts about this for it being such an old device.

If stability and everything working are your main goals, I would use one of the great EC05 releases that are on here. The Gingerbread ROMs are great but there are still some kinks to be worked out. I use the Gingerbread ROMs some and test for developers and themers frequently but Froyo is still my daily use ROM. The purple CWM 3.1.0.1 makes it easy to switch between the two.

I do use that as the current recovery on the epic and I do have a nandroid backup of rooted 2.2. I have considered restoring it to this.
I can tell your experience with the epic is far more advanced than others just by the way you explained it. I Cook rom's for HTC phones such as the first evo 3d rooted rom in the Evo 3d forums.
I have never cared to learn about the rfs stuff so I don't know much about samsung roms though I have flashed the best of them like bionic V with Voodoo Lagfix as well as manually converting rfs to ext4.
It's people like you that make xda what it is and the reason I have been here for years.
And you are right down the street from me. Gotta love cali

Take your panties out of a bunch...as soon as I heard DK28 I thought you were a rookie who'd been stuck on that leak since it came out...but now were updated and up to par so we can talk like 2 experienced users ****-boi (response to your douche comment hd to get that out).
Its a feature on the epic that like you said isn't that common among high-end smartphones lately...I think I rmbr it being removed along with the battery full pop up mods in a couple of the old Eclair and Froyo DK28 ROM's...but its actually a good feature especially with temperatures above 50 degrees C, assuming you know the negative effects of frequent overheating....but at the end of the day if its someone who knows these things it can be a distraction.

I've seen this charging message on the EF02 releases myself. Not sure if it's actually getting that hot, or if it's just another EF02 bug.

I've als gotten this error once or twice. Let it cool and it will charge up propper. For me I thought it had something to do with the phones attempts to get the OTA modem update to EF10 constantly. I could very likely be mistaken. I ended up wiping my phone and reinstalling the ef02 roms and modem from Decadence

its one of the symtoms in ef02 rom. After low signal/ roaming phone start overheating and with very slow 3g speed. Ec05 rom doesn't have that problem
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I've legitimately gotten this warning a few times - while the phone was charging in my car dock attached to my windshield on a sunny day. The phone was quite hot when I pulled it out of the dock, so I'm certainly glad the feature is there.
This was on an SRF ROM, not sure which, since it hasn't happened sometime before I updated to 1.2.

EE03 and EF02 are both riddled with bugs. Stick with EC05 or if you want gingerbread go to EG22.

I got this a ton of times with eeo3
I was using my phone while charging
Eeo3 already had over heating problems plus the fact I was charging it too was much
But no problems on efo2
Just tell your daughter not to play with it and charge it at the same time

EF02 + Ef10 modem. I dont know if the problem was fixed in the lastest leak EG22 or with the latest modem (whatever that is).

I'm on SGS but the problem is the same. I agree with not to overheat the battery but this message is very very annoying. I use my phone in my car to navigate, and of course this message appears just in the worst moment. And not just once... I press OK, and it appears again and again. Other non-stock ROMs solved this problem by simply stop charging and not sending this message again and again.
So is there any way to eliminate this message?

Switch from Hero to Moment?

Okay so my wife's Palm Pre messed up and my upgrades don't come eligible until January. So, I bought a Moment off eBay for her. She doesn't care whether she uses that or my Hero.
I was considering using the Moment. I know of a forum like this to go to so I can mod and root the Moment. But I am not sure if it is better performance wise and battery wise than my Hero.
What do y'all think? Should I keep the Hero or hack into the Moment?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I have both the hero and the moment and performance wise moment is better. If u go to androidmobilesupport.com they haves really good rom there called keebler and from pics of it it has a higher than stock n1 and htc desire

I think you are the first Moment owner I have heard say this about ANY phone, let alone the Hero.
Its funny I got my Hero because I had my Moment replaced 4 times, before I refused another! I do agree that stock-stock comparison the Moment seems faster (maybe because of the Sense UI overhead?). The Moment's screen is much nicer as well, and I actually prefer the hardware keyboard! My Hero's battery lasts much longer than the Moment's as well... But all of that is fine and dandy until the Moment starts having CDMA lockups and "Airplane Mode" bugs. That is why my phone was swapped so many times, because Sprint knows its a problem, and came out with the Intercept to cover it.
Just google "Samsung Moment EVDO lockup" and read all about it!

Sense overhead plus a faster stock processor.
Since you have both phones you might as well root the moment, but I came from that and have had my hero for about a month now. There is no real fix for the lockups, the "fix" just slows the lockups down. I am happier with my hero than the moment, the hero seems do d/l faster and better music quality with pandora through the headphone jack. Either phone is good I just could not deal with a few lockups a day with my old moments (I had it replaced 5 times). Either way you go good luck.
The Samsung Moment is by far the WORST Android phone I have ever had the misfortune of having to help my parents manage. My father decided to surprise out family with Android phones, and thankfully, he got me a Hero.
the moment is a garbage phone, too many issues with it.

Well, I should get the Moment tomorrow in the mail. I am going o load a custom rom on it. I will post a review of my findings.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well a few days ago I recieved the Moment and I swapped my phone to that and I gave my wife my Hero.
I reloaded the latest 2.1 Fresh for her because she actually likes Sense.
I fiddled around with a few roms for the Moment from other websites. Right now I am using the latest Keebler 2.1 rom and updated kernel and it runs great.
I haven't received any data lockups, the rom goes from 800-66mHz. Battery life is great and I am getting constant 9.0+ mflops on linpack and near 500's on quadrant.
So, overall I am happy witht the swap from the Hero to the Moment.
BTW, I must say that the Moment's screen is actually awesome!!!
I have an update on my Moment...
I'm still using Keebler 3.0 rom but this time I updated the opengl drivers and overclocked it to 1060mhz. I'm getting 10's for linpack and quadrant scores are around 510.

I did go over there and look at it...... All I can say is THANK GOD I elected to get a Hero instead of the Moment when I was given the opportunity to get out from under the POC TP2's I had. Yes I know it was a downgrade in money and I lost out on it,but if I had half as much trouble as what some of the posters over there are saying about it after going through 5 TP2's ..I would have gone postal at the repair center..... I wish you all the luck with it and no data lock ups or home key issues..
Mac
Most of the problems I have (had) with the moment is harrdware based problems. And samsung is the reason. I am more or less neew to this so can someone tell me a way to backup the apps and not just the save info for them? This is the 3rd one of these things I have been through in 5 months and next is hell if I don't get another actual phone. I guess I need to find a coustom rom to run so it will stablize.

Didn't like the moment because of the slide-out keyboard

Keep Coming Back...

I find myself constantly refreshing the android dev forum, scouring thru developers websites, and stalking their twitter pages, looking for an update to the latest ROM. I almost never use my vibrant for what it is anymore...a phone! This website has ruined me. I spend my whole day pressing F5 over and over and over. Flashing, reflashing, flashing, reflashing, ERROR, ODIN, flashing, reflashing. Im sick, i need help. I can see it now....FOX news reporting "Kids trying new drug...street name "XDA"." Its a massacre.

For real dude I was watching a medical show as well a looking through xda and heard the heart rate monitor in the background and cause I've done so much to this phone I thought I did something wrong I put it up to my ear like oh crap that can't be good and my wife was like that's the tv dumb ass
This site did take me off of facebook though so I've got that going for me I'm in love with my vibrant there it at least has vibrant in the thread once edit: twice

Whats even worse I'm getting a laptop just for the purpose of having odin handy..24 hours being a dad and working 24 hours xda and modding cause of course this site has a mobile app my days are so much longer now

I want to agree with everyone's elses comments on here. I feel like all the other people on this subject. Looking for the next best ROM for the phone. Always trying to make it better.
"hi my name is all ~g1, and yes, yes ... I am an addict!" :tear:
Now that the froyo storm has passed & R12 is in the recalibration stage I think, or at least I hope, I'll keep the staking down by half. I'm happy, for now.
Waiting patiently for 2.3 nexus $ release... Lol.
Yes I'm in this boat as well. My wife keeps yelling at me to put the damn phone down. She even complained to her therapist about my flash addiction!

Hi my name is 12paq.
I have been modding hard since my Pocket PC days. I have increased to 8-10 hours a day since getting my Vibrant and trying flashing for the first time. Don't blame Odin or Rom Manager, they are just delivery devices.
My wife has left me, my daughter won't talk to me and my dog left me for another dude. (Sounds like all Country music).
I refuse to believe I have a problem. It is everyone else that has a problem!
Now back to reading XDA. Tonight I'm mixing it with top shelf Gin for extra buzz. Now leave me alone!
Sent from my SGH-T959 which I could stop using the XDA App any time I want.
Xda was like crack for me (I love crack ) back when I had my g1. It was awful, hours and hours each day, up all night. I was so burnt out I was actually relieved to get the mytouch 3g and keep it stock, I finally realized how great android just is, of course I flashed update zips early but I didn't modify it, I finally rooted my nexus to try 720 which completely blew but that's it I love my vibrant and I want froyo bad but these threads are the same as they were back with my g1, there's always an issue, there just isn't any rom as stable as stock, the ones that are close are basically stock anyway so what's the point? Faster maybe, but not as stable. Anytime I check a rom thread people are asking for help, that crap has helped me stay on the wagon. If there was a froyo zip for unroored vibrants though, I'd jump on it...

Hate too pull you off the wagon but T-Moble and Sammy aren't known for their well vetted bug free updates. The ones on XDA seem better supported. Many fans here of many Froyo updates. Just wait and don't be the first to try the first version unless you want to play beta tester, a good cause too.
I'm using Tmo stock 2.2 fro Eugene with Klang kernel and it rocks with far less bugs then any crud official. You see the complaints here way more then the successes.
Come on... try it... I dare ya... just once you'll like it...
This **** spreads too. I got one of my friends hooked on flashing custom roms to his old WinMo phone and he's now followed my footsteps and picked up a Vibrant because of how much he loves to play with the new roms I flash every week. I have another friend who's on AT&T who has been following the Captivate forum so he is now wanting to get one so that he can try the xda drug for himself. Haha!

At least this means that they are working on an update. The only problem I have is with taking videos in low light. But I hardly ever do that so it isn't a deal breaker for me. Everything else is 100 times better than DI18 for what I use.
It says that a hard reset fixes the issues. People that have been running DK28 for a few months are already used to this sort of behavior. You cannot rely on these OTA upgrades. It's like upgrading Windows versions. Wipe and and clean install is always the best policy.

I'm not sure the pull means that. It sounds like the problem is with the updating mechanism, not with EB13 itself. It could easily be just the updating scripts themselves that they are working on.
I do think they are always working on new builds, but I have no idea how seriously they are considering actually making one of those publicly-available nor what sort of time course they might have in mind.
I have heard the issues that Sprint was having (relative is an employee). It's nothing that I would have pulled the OTA over TBH. Stuff like calendar syncing not working (clear data clears that right up). From what I heard it sounds like it's all stuff that is related to user data and cache issues. There was nothing on the list that we didn't already know about.
I knew the data issue on the EB13 modem getting 18kbps & 30kbps was not related to anything else but the modem. Odin back to DK28, & while not real fast, nothing compared to EB13. Epic fail!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
wow, this section is about to be blown apart.
I believe that the OTA was pushed out sensing the increasing noise about the update. It was certainly not ready, and they knew it, I think. They must also have known they might need to pull it back.
One wonders just what happened last year between Samsung and Sprint that caused this mess. It's surprising that even after so many months, they failed to provide a decent update! Can one of the mods, who was in talks with SamsungJohn, throw some much needed light on all this, if SamsungJohn provided some important info., and also if the time frame around the yet-another-update is known.

I may or not not work for sprint and as far as I can tell, these issues only effect the OTA update, not the over the wire update, FWIW...
I think so sprint/samsung should just give us 2.3/.4 and call it a day, I'm upset about the wait but at least toss us some sort of bone for our troubles.

Official ED01 has all the bugs of leaked froyo ROMS

Yay. I can confirm the following bugs after using OTA ED01 for a couple hours:
1) 50% time w/o signal bug still there. Still need airplane toggle after boot.
2) Browser scrolling choppy as ever.
3) Pop email client still snaps to top of list after reading each email.
4) battery issues / wakelock needs more testing
Now then, we know Samsung and VZW were not working on fixing any bugs in the last several months that they have been sitting on this code. All bugs from froyo leaks 2.5 months ago are still in there.
Seems to me there was 0 priority put on this update, since it was delivered extremely late and still chock full of bugs. My assessment is Samsung is way understaffed AND integrating bing caused some negative interactions between the companies involved. I won't buy another Samsung... and probably should move off of VZW.

What's a better option in your opinion besides Samsung? Are you more pissed at Samsung or Verizon?

My frustration is primarily with vzw on this... But I've known, or accepted, that one chooses a wireless service provider by asking "who sucks less?".

Weird, I don't use the email client, but I have not experienced any of those issues. My battery does not drain while sleeping (with bt, gps and data all on) everything is smooth as can be. And I have never had to toggle airplane mode. All these bugs I had in dl30 and eb01, but none at all in this release. Also I have had no screen response issues anymore either. Not saying your wrong just posting my experience as well.

Yeah, I have been playing around with it a little, and have found the save thing. No bugs so far.

The only thing that wonders me is new radio. Is is the the same as EC01? It's too soon to ask probably but maybe somebody had missed calls issue with it yet?

We'll have to see how it goes fellow chicagoland resident. I odin'd and ota'd to get the new radio and frameworks and files were compared lastnight and there is some differences in the frameworks between EC01 and ED01 so I'm gonna run themeless until I have time to port my theme over to the new frameworks. Initial impression I have is my data speeds are a little higher and more constant. But I'll give it a go traveling about the city today.
Oh, @OP the tws bug is not limited to our device. It's a froyo thing that many devices suffer from. Google it.
good day.
Everything looks good here... Besides battery life. I just did the ota at 9:30 this morning after about an hour **** has drained 30%. Oh well. I was using heavily, im gonna flash the debloated one and wipe bstats and what not to see if I get some improvement.

If you had display on for an hour 30% drain is normal I think.
I just read the release notes for ed01 posted by kaus... It lists some added bloat, but in many cases contradicts the op of this thread (subject to verification I guess ;-).

My wife and I have this phone. I am running EB01 Superclean and I just odin'd her phone to stock last night and upgraded to OTA ED01. So far, no time without signal bug, browser does not seem choppy, no wakelocks so far. Maybe you should odin to stock and start fresh if you have not done so already. I think that this can fix a lot of issues. No doubt that after brief testing my Superclean w/ -100 imnuts kernel is kicking the snot out of a stock ED01 froyo so far. But I always give it a week for the battery to calibrate and settle so I will report back.
i also have superclean 2.9.2 (nv). i'm not sure if i want to go back to stock and do the official ota because I finally LIKE my phone for the first time since... November? I really liked it for the first month (Oct) when I thought the OTA was due any day... but since then, not so much. but after installing superclean a week or so ago, suddenly i don't care about the ota. unless i hear from one of you more experienced gurus that it's the way to go, that is. I love that I don't have all that bloat on my phone. If i do the ota, I presume the bloat will come with it, and I've heard of people then cleaning up the phone... how is that different from what I already have? should I stay put or is there a distinct advantage to doing the ota and then cleaning it up? any advice and logic behind it would be appreciated. thanks.
Wife and I both have fasc I odin'd her back to stock took ota she so far has not been able to make calls out off and on all day she could answer tho...?? However.. What pisses me off the most is vzw dropping price and trying to sell this to everyone for mothers day like my mom needs this f/%ked up unsupported phone swindled to her."why yes madam this has the very latest software it has always been our best phone and now your kids can make you the coolest mom ever" scam scam scam or should I say spin spin spin the greatest company on the planet can you hear me now.. Ahh no cause my froyo won't make a call

Well maybe you can do the mature thing and call Verizon instead of *****ing about a problem that ONLY you are having. Or maybe you can try factory resetting it.
Don't *****, that only gets you flamed.

I did read, but after that he updated did an OTA. If he already Odined I don't see the pain in doing a reset. Doesn't hurt.
What's up with not being able to download tapatalk either?? I upgraded ota and its still in my purchased list but won't let me install..and when I search it the market doesn't find it.

Has anyone else noticed that you can't delete gmail emails after the update? I delete them and they come right back. This is even with having full 3g service and excellent reception.

Don't worry superclean in my opinion is still better. It has all the great sbrissen mods and its only got a couple very tiny bugs (even though I can't think of one)
Plus all the themes you could ever want AND ec01 themes are fine on super clean... I think I'll just chill with what I got.

Isn't it funny......

So my wife and I got our epics at the same time last october. I rooted and was flashing roms within days. She had absolutely had no interest in letting me do it to her phone because she felt there was no need for it. Well ever since the ec05 update she has been having major performance problems: battery life,lag,freezing. I flashed srf 1.1.1 and put touchwiz4 on my phone this morning. When I got home this evening I was showing her some of the features and how smooth it was running. So she finally let me do my "magic". After a little bit of flashing, tweaking, and restoring I handed her back her phone. She was competely impressed. I just wish she'd listen to me more often. Now I don't have to listen to her say "I should have gotten the Evo" anymore.
Just a thought I'd share.
No I will not make out with you.
Haha that's funny I'm still waitingfor my wife to let me do it to her phone lol

Same scenerio here. However, my wife phone is still pretty much a virgin. Good thing about it, all system update features work properly on her phone. She won't let me touch it unless I'm updating official firmware.

I'm sure if you woke up early on a saturday and she was still sleeping and you had your 20 minutes, her phone would be free too LOL
it's much easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask for permission
Ha! After having all sorts of issues trying to pry my GF's moment from her to Mod, I took the easy root and kept her EVO until I modded it!
Anyways, after an unlocking, installing recovery and a ROM, did a NAND backup and gave her the phone, and she remained clueless on how much it was modded.
End result was a phone she loved, with incredible performance!
Before she got it, she used to gripe about how awesome her friend's EVO was, now her friend always asks how she got her phone to do this or that!
I upgraded two daughters to the Epic last week and the BB rep noted that my wife was the only one left on the account without an Epic. I told him that giving her an Epic would be like putting a monkey in a spaceship... but I mean that in the nicest possible way.
She is the only one in the family that feels a cell phone restricts her life and carries it just to shut me up. Doesn't answer it. Just carries it.
LOL I'm glad my gf knows that stock is a dirty word. Mainly because she had a moment before and I put mrwrx 2.2 on it and she loved it... for about a month then I got her a free epic from best buy but before I gave it to here I put srf 1.1.1 with journaling on and now she loves android more than ios
