i am on stock odin rom rooted and with the lag fix. the battery is dying very quick it went from 50 to 40 in 10 mins gps was off. what should i do?
I would hop on your nimbus 2000 and fly on over to T-Mobile
Serious note l would check to see how many apps are running and also go to settings -> about phone -> Battery use and see what all is using your battery up and if you see something you dont know then post it.

its set on auto brightness i mean the battery dies even when the screen is not on..... do any of you guys use setcpu?
Yes I have setcpu set to conservative and at a 200-1200 clock speed
Edit: I have the OC kernal though

A kernel that allows overclocking... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744655
Wooh wooh wooh wooh. No need to get the guy into OC Kernels for a battery issue. Can you please post a picture (or just write down) of the battery usage screen so we can reccomend what help you conserve battery?

Aside from getting a new phone? Nothing. I am on my third Vibrant and I can vouch this is normal (at least in my experience). The GPS drains the battery 1% per 1 min on average for me too.

Wasn't trying to get him into an oc kernal I was just telling him I had it that's why my clocks would be different then his...

I gotta respectfully disagree - this is most definitely NOT normal. I've used my phone more today than any other day I can think of since I've had it. I pulled it off the charger exactly 10 hrs. ago and I've got 50% left.
I'm getting VERY good battery life with my Vibrant.

it could be one of these?
1 - your phone is jacked up
2 - your battery is jacked up
3 - you are running too many programs in the background and you don't know it. Check out your application running tab to see what exactly is running.
i get over a day with the battery btw normal usage.

it doesn't matter if you're using the phone or not. if a program running in the background will continue to do so regardless. Dude, just go return it for a new one.

I was charging my phone last night, and in the morning my phone was extremely hot. I've never felt anything as hot before with my phone. I had to shutdown the phone and pull out the battery fast. Seriously, I thought my phone would explode. Did anyone else experience the same problem??

yes I am. I've also noticed that my phone charges really fast too, maybe 2 or 3 times faster than its normal rate?
Any ideas to prevent it from overheating while charging??
wrong place to post, u should have posted it here or here
Do you have an app called "SETCPU"? if not some android builds or older builds don't have control over the CPU and leaves it running at 998MHz even in sleep mode when it should be 245MHz in sleep mode. Get the app in this fourms. It will even allow you to overclock up to 1190MHz for extra proformance but may kill your battery faster. I once had this problem and sloved it with SETCPU. Good Luck.
you can also set a profile for your CPU to max out at say 600mhz if it goes above 40 degrees c or what have you.
Or maybe his charger is faulty...
I had a scary experience with my phone this morning. Woke up and found my phone switched off. I thought the battery has gone dead, so I plug it to a charger. Then here was the scary part, nothing happened. My phone led is not coming on. Power switch not responding.
At the end. I had to remove the battery to get my phone boot up again and everything seems fine. And the battery wasnt flat, still 38% left.
I wonder what would cause this? Is that a common symptoms with OC CPU? Running 1.5Ghz, minimum 233mhz on demand using the kernel comes with cm7 rc1.
The weird thing is the phone crash while on standby.
Many thanks

Personally I don't overclock HTC don't offer any guarantee of stability over the standard clock speed and in my experience overclocking can less to all sorts of problems set your overclock to more modest levels and I suspect you'll avoids any problems in future
mate I had the same problem today morning, and a few weeks before. and somehow i got text messages like #[email protected] twice

Try lowering your clock to 1.3Hgz and observe.
Is the 1ghz clockspeed not enough? I only do overclocking on my gaming pc
I have been using this clock speed for 2 days, it passed qraduant benchmark without any problem. I will try to lower the speed a notch and see if this happens again.
Just a warning to all using the FreeX10/other 2.2+ performance ROMs that I experienced is the overheating of the device. This may only be me, but I'm posting this just in case.
Quick details of my X10:
Flashed to FreeX10 Beta #4 last night.
Used SetCPU to set scaling to Performance and minimum clock speed @ 998MHz.
Using the 3G (build.prop) enhancement modification.
I have a rubber casing around the phone.
Usually connected to WiFi.
My phone has been on since last night and has been charging for most of the time since then and now.
Just then, I decided to turn my phone off a couple of times. I did not notice the heat from just holding it. I was browsing here and read a thread about removing the battery, so I just did that for some reason. It wasn't until I opened the case when I could smell the smell of melted/hot plastic - it was coming from the battery. I immediately placed the open-phone and the battery in front of a cool fan, the battery and phone both started to cool down and the smell disappeared. I couldn't find any liquid/melted plastics anywhere on/in the phone, but I could definitely smell it.
Just a general friendly warning (that can't hurt). Not sure if it's documented or not, and whether this is only Froyo or below/above.
Used SetCPU to set scaling to Performance and minimum clock speed @ 998MHz.

what's the point?! if it is to overheat your x10, mission complete
Why using setcpu? I use the same rom and it runs like hell without setcpu. No overheating neither...

nytral is right. You set the CPU to run @998Hmz at _all time_ so it'[s only natural that the device/battery overheated.

u have managed to make a perfect guide on how to overheat the phone...
u push all the components to their max working capacity (full cpu, 'enhancement' of radio) and on top of that u keep it enclosed in a rubber casing...
bravo!!!

Sorry, Min is 245. Not 998.. :-/
And I'm pretty sure the material of the casing (rubber vs hard plastic) wouldn't matter, but would contribute to the heating. I'm sure that a lot of people would use a case of some sort to protect their device.
The only reason why I started this thread is because I was on a ROM not too long ago (a couple of nights ago), which has exactly the same settings and modifications, except, it wasn't running Froyo - it was running Eclair. And since I installed that Eclair ROM, the phone has only been turned off once (with the battery removed, about a couple of days after installing it and it being on and charging pretty much 24/7) and has been charging pretty much non stop.
The only difference is it is using Froyo instead of Eclair... Hence why I thought it'd be best to start this thread.
LOL, now this is n1 example of a person who didnt read before he flashed
Solution dont whipe data...

lol nice overheat guide
i'm using setcpu to scale it to powersafe and max @512 Hz
and when the screen is off it's max is set to the lowest (256?)
and when i wanna play games i always set it to min 256(?) and may 998 ans performance
then my battery won't drain so fast
nice overheating guidelines
Do you guys actually see a difference with setcpu? I have used every option available and nothing ever got slower or faster for me.

Yeah I'm running 2.2.1 and my X10 is no where near hot. well, at least in temperature because its a hot-sexy phone ;P
Nice overclocking there though X10 watercooling systems now in development, expect another forum branch to open in XDA in the next coming weeks.
To my understanding the 2.6.29 doesn't support overclocking so setcpu shouldn't make a difference at all. The rubber case probably contributed to the heat retention but the heat likely is from the constant charging.

Try the JuiceDefender app and set it to turn off wifi and data when your screen is off or unless certain apps are visible, helps with battery and stops unused functions while your phone sleeps.

Phone doesnt overheat, if you use it right.
Useless topic!!
Sounds like a guy (not saying names) that Z tells to remove some files from "some" roms he was taking without permission, just trying to desestimate Z rom.
Beta 4 runs very well, theres no overheat.
Sorry for my bad english!!

I have installed cm6.1. 3 v4. 3, its a fab rom.... but charging is the main prob... even if i charge for 2 hrs continues it charges upto just 60% and it becomes very hot..... any solution for this......

Try charging the phone while its off. Ive heard people say that their phone wouldnt charge past a certain point but after charging it whilst off it returned to charging back to 100 percent. I bought a new usb cable for my charger after the terminal end into the phone became deformed and my phone now charges ~3x faster but ive never had it get abnormally hot.

Hmmm... i set cpu to 998 when running emulators, otherwise its just ondemand. Using freex10 b4 for a fortnight high use frequent charging added 3g build prop lines, got no overheating issues.

Its funny that anyone with the know how or has supposedly read these forums continue to pay for (or pirate!) apps that have no effect. WITHOUT UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND CUSTOM KERNEL OVERCLOCKING APPS HAVE NO EFFECT! Check the overclock option in JuiceDefender, this option is not supported! The developer of the app has apparently left out any notice that it doesnt work with our kernel so they can continue to make sales.

Hi dudes i am using cm7 nightly#177, based on 2.3.5 andy, since 1 week, and with its 2.6.35 kernal, and just a little bit oc of about 576 mhz, and lowest to about 352 mhz, and the governer is in smartassv2.( hope u all got the situation), so now my problem is the phone get too hot(atleast for the above cpu settings) only when it is connected to internet, and not always. So whats the matter? And i think it is as hot as running the phone @ 650+ mhz in old 7.0.3 cm7(full load!) . So what might be the problem?had any one experienced the same?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Not while connected to the internet, it does get pretty hot while charging though (Especially the first 15-20 minutes after it is connected), and, seeing the battery issues abound, I must admit I am a bit spooked.
So do i need to revert back?, whatz ur openion? Coz, i am 'in love' with the stablness of 7.0.3 yet i said ' i love you ' to the features of #177. So who gona become my love till i got married to 7.1 stable cm7.

Well i am using the same nightly .. and iit works great ... less FCs than stable CM7 .. ... and i am overclocking it to 768 MHz min 352 MHz .. no temperature issues .. but it geta hot while charging .. not unusual ... many cell phones do so while charging .. ..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Same here, I'm overvlocked to 768 and 176 minimum, phone only gets warm when charging and using at the same time, personally I don't think its cm7 causing your problems.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
When phone is on charger is normal to become hot,but when you are using the net there not should be any significant changes in temperature, maybe if your out and weather is hot outside then phone can become hot
No dudes itz not becoz of weather, if its so then why i cant experience it in 7.0.3 stable, as i used it for a month, and for checking again, i reverted back to it, and checked, now its not happening, again i flashed nightly, the problem is back, and i experience the hot issue in charging, also when i connect to carrier data,ie edge. And not when i use wifi . Its pretty hot when i use edge, and cools down when i dissable carrier data access.

Just do not let it go beyond 41C. Just 10mins of wifi surfing will get you to 40C *@710MHz well at least for our tropical weather -.-* You might want to check your temps regularly.
K dudes, but now I tried a clean install, with 3.35.20.10 radio and 2.6.32.41 kernal with same #177 rom, so I will check it out

Htc, says in the german usermanual for htc touch 2...
don't let it go beyond 60 C [140F] ( the battery temperature.. the only thing you can measure), maybe this is a very high limitation
but i think 41C is not critical and even 45-48C should be no problem regarding to the statement of htc.
