Hi i have flashed many nand roms to my hd2 the end result is always the same. phone works fine until i try to play games anywhere between 30s to 10 min and the phone freezes up and is unresponsive. only way to fix is to remove battery. any ideas on what this is why it happens and how to fix it.
what is your ROM? what's your magldr version? what is your HTC HD2 type EU or TMOUS? What is the name of your games? i need more information sir..

I'd hazard a guess at it being an overheating problem. Do you overclock on the ROMs you use? Does the phone get extremely hot? If yes to these, try not overclocking and see if it works.
magldr version is 1.13 and it a tmous hd2 running nexus h2 ics 4.0.4 cm9 hwa v1.2 by tytung. not overclocking running at the standard max of 998Mhz min somewhere around 200. the only option i have used is in the performance settings under memory management i ticked the kenel samepage merging which seems to have reduced the amout of freezing i am experiencing. tried playing the game called drag racing think is by creative mobile. phone on its own works great but even playing angry birds anywhere between 5 to 15min it freezes. noticed yesterday my battery was low so the charge light was flashing and when the screen frooze the light still continued to blink but the phone was totally unresponsive. Any ideas

I have similar problem. But not so often. He is not overclocking, neither do I.
I also use zRam 26%.
This often happens when the phone is under load, so I think that maybe this is due to lack of memory. The phone heats up when the screen freezes.
Any tips?
OK, this might sound stupid but try putting the phone in the fridge for a while to cool it down, then play. Obviously don't do it for too long, it is after all a phone, but I read somewhere that this had helped someone with overheating. I doubt it is a RAM issue cos that wouldn't cause a freeze, it would probably result in the launcher being killed to free up RAM.

not sure putting it in the fridge every time want to play will be quite the fix i am looking for. Might prove the theory that the phone is overheating but then there must be a setting somewhere that can be envoked to get this to stop happening

Yeah I know it isn't a practical solution, I just meant it to test my overheating theory. Perhaps there is a fix, but to be honest if you aren't OCing then I really don't know why it should be heating up so much. Sure, mine gets warm but even when I've played for around an hour on Contract Killer: Zombies (fairly graphically intense and a very fun game) it doesn't shut down or anything. There IS a hardware fix but it's quite dangerous and requires a lot of expertise and the right equipment, neither of which I have Should you wish to try it, just make sure you're very careful

Is anyone else ending up with a very warm device after a little heavy usage? I've not had the phone many days to determine if this is the way the phone is in general, so if this is the way the HD2 is, just tell me lol.
Noticed that also wenn downloading lots of apps from market with wifi on. The backside is getting pretty warm then. But it cools down as soon as you finished your stuff and do usual things like texting or something. Thats my experience.
Its funny people bring up phones getting Hot. Cause We got a Gig processor, and 576mb ram. If you feel like ur phones getting hot, you know ITs a BEAST. also keeps ur pocket warm in winter.
Yes! Comparing with WM 6.5, when running WM 7 phone is getting warm even just scrolling in menu for a while. Battery usage is HUGE! 10 minutes playing game (Jewels) consumpted a half of fully charged battery. Battery life worse then android have.
Yep defo gets hot, when screen is off its fine but when in use it gradually warms up
This is usually the sign of high battery drainage
i used to get it in android
Am I right in saying that magldr could have something to do with the battery drain? Been reading some comments that suggest its possible

you are right, but this only happened to me when i installed andoird via nand way, i don't have any problems with wm7 on my htc hd2 tmobile leo 1024.
i'm happy
my HD2 gets hot when android runs ... WP7 is no load at current bulid
Must agree, my one got realy warm after me sitting 20 min on the train sorting/linking contacts. got more warm that it should.
It just seems like a gradual warming on mine, it can get quite warm though, it happens even if I leave the screen on while magldr boot options are on and nothing else, I think my problem is that, and I'm looking forward to a update
nah just when i'm charging.
EDIT: I did notice bottom of my HD2 getting warm now that you mentioned it. But nothing toworry.

Yea that's your processor, and it is something to worry about, if you care about your phone.
is it possible related to sdcard?
if I use sdcard class 2 or class 6 will it got any different?
Ya mine too becomes ho....if i use internet...otherwise it stays cool...
God knows ...its harming the processor or its just usual thing.
M-SD Class 10 better
Try to M-SD Class 10
It's work well.
When i used to run WP7 and 7.8 the most heat generated was from 3g/2g mobile internet. That thing just fried the HD2's bottom, i couldn't chat on whatsapp more than 5 minutes before the phone's bottom got too warm to even hold. I figured its the combo of SD-card usage, mobile internet (a bit less heat when on WiFi) and screen-on effect that strained cpu and other phone parts to its limits. Eventually moved away from WP (sadly) due to lack of certain things i needed, but i remember that was something that really bothered me alot (aside from no wifi on standby).
This thing gets hot! Just been configuring launcher pro which took around 5 minutes and wasn't data intensive and the back of the phone is really hot. So much that I can smell the plastic heating up! The battery drained real fast during the process too.
Anyone else experiencing this ?
Well that doesn't sound good! I haven't had anything like that. Have you checked the power intake?

Mine got really hot the first day I used it (27/4)...I was just checking out features and installing a few apps. I rebooted it after the battery was fully charged and it's been fine ever since.

I have the exact same problem, it happens especially when I play any games or intensive appliaction. The battery drains and it gets hot next to the camera, I suspect this is where the cpu lives. Do you think its because its rooted? because I rooted it as soon as I got it so I dont know what it was like before.
And as I am away from the uk for the next six weeks I cant even send it back to O2
No nothing to do with root, mine was same before and after, pretty normal to get hot on some demanding apps.

It gets really hot sometimes though, not to the extent of burnt plastic smell but it gets pretty uncomfortable touching around lens at the back.
I've been going through this this morning. It seems that the CPU loves to go up to 1.2GHz even if it doesn't need to be that high (and it stays there). Also there I've also been noticing through ADB shell that their are a few niggles. For example the wi-fi sharing process can start without even being activated.
For example this was a ADB shell top taken while running Cordy downclocked to 800MHz in setcpu. The phone was a tiny bit warm but only by the camera (where the CPU is). Basically, this just shows that if you are playing a game, nothing else is going on so the CPU shouldn't be going up to 1200MHz. And it plays the same as when it isn't underclocked.
I'm currently assisting Pulser with investigating this until he gets his SGS2.

Do you have root and Titanium/MyBackup Pro?
If you do, freeze anything that mentions wifi sharing, unless you are going to use wifi hotspot and kies air a lot.

My phone got so hot that it shut itself down!
since that i have done a complete reset of the phone and started from scratch again....100% better.
The problem as i see it is with all the 'tinkering' that we users do. All the additional launchers etc and widgets that you add really seem to mess the phone up!
My advice is keep the phone as samsung intended it...or at least change very little. You will see far improved battery life and none of the over heating problems.
Just my opinion but its worked for me.

that's just not true.
Mine gets hot aswell .. it's random sometimes but usualy with playing games etc. I suspect it has something to do with the samsung drivers/software and not our tinkering.
Bugs bugs bugs...
Mine also gets fairly hot, which might be a little uncomfortable - but that's the sacrifice you make when you get such a high powered device in such a small space.
Well,amount of apps/tinkering/etc has nothing to do with the phone getting got UNLESS an installed app in messing something up.I have heard many such cases when a rogue app made the CPU run at 100% in different phones.If that's the case you have to find and remove the app.I'd suggest OS monitor for finding it.Never happened to me though!
What's more,it's normal for it to get more hot than your average phone,as it carries more power under the hood and has nothing to help it dissipate the generated heat,as it's plastic.The Desire HD does a very good job with managing heat and I have never exceeded 40 C,even when gaming with an overclock at 1.8GHz and performance governor.Not saying the DHD is better,but Samsung wouldn't have left something like this if it would damage the phone.So I tend to believe that it's designed to get hot.
Mine has overheated twice.
Both times, when trying to pair itself automatically to my car kit. The phone got really really hot (i noticed it warming my leg in my jeans pocket) and needed the battery pulling out to reset it. When it started back up, the running temp was nearly 50 degrees (in standby, it runs at about 27)
Hasn't done it since though, just keeping my eye on it!
My hd2 has been getting "really hot" recently. I have hyperdroid cm7 running on NAND. And alot of other things running to make it fast, battery efficient etc etc. My phone has also been "freezing" (haha). Is this just NAND in general? Is it the heat? It never goes over 105-110 degrees. Idk.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.

The two most popular causes of freezes / reset loops on overheating, are bent battery pins (check and try to delicately strengthen them if so), or defective mainboard (requires replacement). Check this post for more details and references (sorry too lazy to write it all over again)

What clock freq settings do you have? Perhaps too much or too low OC? I got some FC and freezes when I tried to max OC...
If you undervolted your CPU it may be potential reason.
I had freezes when using CPU undervolting script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148578 .
As for heat, yeah it can get warm sometimes. I wouldn't worry myself over it as long as you can hold it without getting burned.
fpu
I have CPU set at 1190. That could possibly be it. Should I bring it down to stock?
Of course overclocking can cause instability...
Heat will be also produced by using computationally intensive apps like 3D games.
Just check out non-oc.
I brought it back down to 998. It's not getting hot anymore. But it's still freezing. -.-
I've brought mine down as low as 500mhz - still freezes.
THOUSANDS of people with the hd2 heat problem.
i'm gonna say same as i always say...aint ever gonna be solved on hd2.

what helped with my device was mainboard replacement, no problems since, but then I was lucky to still have valid warranty
I'm running CM 7.2.0 with faux's 1GHz 0.2.4 kernel underclocked to 912 MHz (though I've had this with all CM roms and kernels) and after more than a minute of screen time my Atrix's CPU tends to exceed 50 degrees Celsius while the battery gets to around 40 degrees Celsius (this is recorded using setCPU). This happens most with apps like BaconReader or Facebook but has happened with others too.
I refuse to play games on my phone because it seems to nearly overheat while I'm playing any game.
When the phone starts to get hot, the battery drains faster (like 1% every 2-3 minutes).
Is there something I can do to fix this, or is this a common problem that I shouldn't mind?
Has anyone else experienced similar temperature issues?
Indeed my friend, its the Tegra 2 chipset, in fact, most of nVidia hardware tend to overheat, including Tegra 3 and PC/Laptops Video Hardware.

Probably you have some rogue apps running in the background. You could try the GSAM battery monitor. It shows which app using the most battery and waking your phone.
It is getting hot because it is under a load. Not the phones fault. It is something you added. I had a "bad" app that looped and kept trying to write to cache. I couldn't figure it out till I used logcat. This phone still kicks ass, even if it does have Tegra II.
Also, BetterBatteryStats is free to xda users.

i know exactly what you're talking about, i jumped around all them roms based off of CM7 and CM9, tried different kernels, I did like Clemsyn's 1.0GHz enhanced kernel. In the end, try the rom in my sig, its based off CM7.2 stable, i **** you not my friend, first time ever I have enjoyed more than 24 hours of phone use on a single battery charge, phone never gets anywhere remotely close to being as hot as it used to, something about this build, i dont know but my battery lasts now and phone doesn't cook in my pocket after a phone call, check out log i have of how much battery life I got from 1 full charge
try flashing Jug's battery fix through CWM, it slows down the drain of the battery to a noticeable level where you can see it really does work and helps keep the battery from being pissed away after 2 phone calls
This is happening to me as well and only with this Rom have I had this issue. I guess I'll try changing roms and see if that fixes things.

46°C isn't really overheating, and it happens to me also when I'm playing Bad Biggies, also sometimes when I'm charging. As far as I know, there is nothing we can do about it, though some people have said that its better to take the back case off when you're playing.

Thanks for reply.
But before i rooted my phone and started to test different ROMs my temperature was OK i mean like 35 while playing.
And my android always warns me
(i think that 46 is really hot cus on battery it says that its better to keep temperature below 45c and its really hot when 46)
I even tried to use setCPU to use less Mhz but it didnt help
btw i use 3.0.8 kernel (if this matters)

Some ROMs overclock your device. btw, what are your CPU clocks at the moment? Also, if you live in warm countries, that might explain the overheating.
