Hello. First of all, this is my first post on these forums and if anything is wrong with my post please tell me.
OK. So I have a stock kernal, stock rom rooted Epic. After using it for a while the battery gets to around 100°f and it feels really hot. Nothing out of the ordianary is running (checked using spare parts) and about twice this month my phone has shut off due to overheating. If anyone has had similar issues or a fix, I would appreciate your comment.
Thanks.

1st of all your post is fine. If a forum thrashed every 1st post, that forum wouldn't last long.
Do you have another battery to try?
Yes. I will test my spare out for today and check the temps.

It might be the kernal....my phone never shut off cuz of overheating, but it did get hot a lot even if I want doing anything on it. That problem wentaway when I flashed different kernals. Try flashing the mixup kernal and see if it still persists? That was the first kernal I tried and it went away, but idk if it'd still have the same efect considering when I did it, there was a no-voodoo and voodoo kernal version

I actually noticed decreasing my screen brightness keeps the battery heat 10+ degrees lower. It may not be true but I seem to notice touchwiz uses way more battery and makes it hotter. Keep posting fixes to the community!

I also will not flash any kernal because I always get my updates the night of OTA and I don't want to deal with flashing.

Same as my Epic get hot time to time when I charge it. Sometimes it charge just fine and fast. Sometimes it charge take longer than other and get real hot on the back of epic. It just hit 103 temp today. I do have extra battery and it act same problem. Is there some kind of firmware doesn't response to charging well? I was thinking going back to sprint and have them look at it.
Any ideas and suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
My peeve... kernel, people, kernel!

Mmm when I plug in for charging, and if it get hot, I unplug and wait for 15 seconds, then plug again. After that, it doesn't get hot and charging much faster.

I have all the stock stuff running and doing certain things (usually downloading will do it) makes it VERY hot to the touch. My Hero did this, but I had it running a custom ROM from almost day 1, so if you are worried that it is a custom ROM/Kernel doing this, mine definitely feels verrrry hot, although I haven't gotten the battery temp tester or anything, figure it shouldn't overheat since I rooted it but haven't changed anything else.
Hi everybody,
I've read all the threads on the battery problems, but I'm experiencing something different.
My phone is rooted but on stock rom. The last two days, my phone charges to 100% and when I unplug it, it stays there, but then throughout the morning, it drops drastically. yesterday I unplugged it at 5am, by 8:30 I was at 73%. I normally make it a full day 5am-10 at night, the lat couple days I'm lucky to make it to 4pm...
Any ideas or suggestions???

Download and install OSMonitor and see if the init process is continuously using 100% CPU. I've experienced this bug myself.
The current fix is to enable USB Debugging.

Try wiping battery stats, then let the battery drain to 0% from 100%. Then charge the phone while it's off to 100% and it should be good to go .

No problem. It's a very odd bug and I'm hoping 2.3.3 fixes it.. As I notice another bug is introduced when USB Debugging is on .
So yesterday my battery was performing horribly. It died all the way, I then charged it from 0% to 100%. Usually it drops down to 97% right away, but it stayed at 100 , but once again dropped pretty quick. Its 9:30am, I took it off the charger at 5:00am and I'm already at 77% , with barely any use... Is this just me, or if this the norm.

Having applied the 2.3.3 update last night, I turned USB debugging off just to see if the /init process problem was fixed.
I'm happy to report that so far all is well, the CPU is scaling nicely and sitting nice and low when idling.

Reporting the same thing here, haven't noticed the bug reappear. Also loving the nice performance boost as well (1800 Quadrant score on stock 2.3.3!).
But, the colour change not so much .
As I use a colour calibrated monitor on my pc (for photo editing) I'm actually loving the new neutral white balance. I can understand why some peo people are finding it a bit muted though.

you cand try a custom rom from Cyberg. it`s very good. now a have ICS but he olso did a good job on Gingerbread.
[redacted] What are everyone's thoughts? So far for me, i feel it's i3 on steroids, and I feel pretty good about it. GPS didn't work at all for me on i3, and works well enough on bamboozle. I have done three drives successfully and one that gps failed after a few minutes.
Gives me much more hope for our gingerbread future.
Also... just now i experienced a new bug. Screen turned off while i had keyboard open and the keyboard backlight wouldnt turn back on till i closed it and reopened the slider. Never had that on any other rom.
Edit: don't post links to the rom... this thread needs to stay open. [redacted] i love reasonable discussion [redacted]

I had the same problem with i3. Haven't had it happen with bamboozle so far. I have had one or two lockups but I am pretty sure they are overclocking related with tegrak (tried to do 1.2 ghz with the default 1.275v, probably need 1.3v on my phone to be stable, and I'm not gonna pay for tegrak when hopefully source and new kernels are around the corner)
how can i freeze the market from updating?

use Titanium Backup.
And this ROM is pretty good from what I've been using so far. After the modem settled in a little, 3G is somewhat about the same as EC05, where it was **** when it first got Odin'ed. Hopefully, it'll be updated to whatever is good about EG22.

Lol .. seems like you need a battery calibration.
anyone has a cwm flashable ec05, ef02, ef10 modems?
i don't have any problems untill i overclock more then 1.1ghz and 1.152may last a couple hour the reboots on me. all and all this is a great rom the fact that the voice mail doesn't work isn't a big deal. Bamboozled 1.1 seem to fix that but i not ready to flash just yet to me its not broken so i'm not going to fix it i'll wait for a kernel that lets me use SetCpu.

Flashed last night, and everything works good so far. One strange thing though. Plugged it in in over night so I could wipe battery stats this morning to calibrate. When I got up, it said battery full, blue light was on, icon read 100%, but a soon as I unplugged it, it dropped to 83%.

I've been using it for about 24 hours; only issue I have is the daily briefing app crashes when adding a city, it force closes. No biggie really.
100% charged and stayed there for a bit; no weird jump down in %.
fastest ROM I've have used.
Whenever I leave my phone charged overnight, I wake up to around 70% charged. It's as though once it reaches 100%, it stops "charging" and it starts using the battery's energy, rather than the AC. Any help?

What kernel/rom are you running. The only suspect is that your kernel does not have "trickle charge" in the new kgb kernel you have to enable this with the app.

Is there any Custom ROM in particular that you would recommend?
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 and follow step 2, then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459905 readthrough the first part on TW kernels, choose one of the 3 custom kernels (not the stock one), best advice is to read the op of each one and find one you think will work for you. they are all three well written kernels. one is already oc'd to 1200, which means no need for voltage control if you plan to oc your phone. most phones are stable at 1200 but thats just from doing alot of messing around and odining. the second post is the instructions for flashing the kernel. the first post just explains all of them to the best i could w/o kanging any information from the op. i just ran what i knew off memory. links to each kernel's op are at the bottom of post 1. i did links to the op's instead of posting dropbox files due to the fact that I want people to make sure they know what features each kernel has before they download it.
I would give battery calibrator app a try. It could be that when you flashed your ROM, the battery stats got jacked up

They are essentially the same thing. Battery Calibration is wiping the battery stats and running the phone dead than fully recharging.
I have been having a very similar issue. A buddy of mine (captivate) and I found that the phone wont charge past 98% on CyanogenMod with the Glitch kernel. I set the phone to not lock and keep the screen on while charging and the problem went away. The phone also would not stay on A/C power after reaching 98%. This issue was fixed too.
I think its an inherent problem with the batteries on the phones, since the issue occurs on many different roms/kernels/phones.
whether it's caused by the phone, ROM, or kennel, battery calibrator is a simple app that is at least worth a try in my opinion

Hello,
I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.
When my phone goes in to sleep mode, after about three minutes, it goes into limbo mode.
It is neither on or off. Only solution is to pull the battery and power it back on.
The only time it does not go in purgatory is when it is plugged in.
So I tried increasing both the CPU and the voltage. same problem.
I tried different roms and even went back to stock. Same problem.
Here is a screenshot.
Anyone else have the same problem? Any solutions?
I am out of ideas.
Thank you.
For one something is keeping your phone awake all the time. Do a Factory Data reset and try it for 2 hours without restoring anything. Then if it sleeps fine and doesn't have the Sleep of Death then add 1 or 2 apps at a time until you find the offending app.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well something is keeping your phone from going into deep sleep and then locking the device up to where you need to pull the battery.
What is your setup? (ROM, kernel, CPU clock ranges, voltage ranges)
First suggestion would be to flash a different kernel and give that a go.
Second suggestion would be to start over from scratch and not restore data.
You do know purgatory doesn't exist right?
Anyways those are some creepy stats and as suggested previously going back to stock platform would be your best bet to see if your phone has a hardware issue

Looks like you tried correcting the wrong side of your CPU clock, the problem is likely your low end voltages (100, 200 MHz). It's a sleep of death; once the phone gets settled in to deep sleep, your low end voltages are acting screwy, and the phone can't kick itself into those to wake up. Pretty common when one goes about figuring out what voltages work for their phone.
And the battery graph? Those jumps are pretty normal for battery pulls on this phone. It tends to read the wrong battery voltage when it's soft reset (battery pull) as opposed to shutting down and turning on.

I had this problem when i was UV'ing a lot but only on GB. i could UV extremely on Froyo my 100MHz was @450mV and running at that state.

Actually, i kept my epic and still carry it around with me nearly every day, believe it or not, especially since cm9 was posted. Ive been messing with ics apks, mainly trying to incorporate some asus live wallpapers and modding the trebuchet launcher. I love this little phone, the hummingbird was head of it's class, not mention it was my first android phone. Also, the wolfson DAC is just plain better then our Yamaha, so i also use it as my main car music player.
