General Warning: Overheating!

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

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!!

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.

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.

Deadly Issue ;( !! (UPDATE: occurs with the stock kernel)

Hello everyone...
I have 2 issues with my Transformer
the first one is that whenever i leave my Transformer for couple hours it shuts down !! doesn't occur when charging but it does when it's not.. even when the battery is around 80% !! i had this problem with ALL kernels except the stock kernel which i don't wanna use !! also had this problem for around 2 months...
the second one happened today when i left my Transformer "Charged" at 100%.. and after couple of hours i found it shut down but when i powered it on again i found the battery 27% !!
i went to the battery stats and found that battery was decreasing slowly and there was a gap (which means that it turned off) and after the gap it shows the battery low !! it happened within 6 hours !!
Please help me if you can... !! I'm using Revolver ROM 3.9.5 and "Blades Kernel 3" that comes in the Revolver Parts...
UPDATE : The problem occurs with the stock kernel !!

This sounds very familiar to the problem I had with my Galaxy S2 a month ago.
It kept shutting down every few hours, and it was driving me mad. Then one day I uninstalled the app greenpower, and it was fine afterwards. You don't have the greenpower app by any chance? If not, maybe it can be caused by some other app you normally use?

The battery might be hosed. Have you ever let it hit 0 before? A lot of batteries never fully recover after being fully depleted once or twice.

No i never let it hit 0%... but i don't think that the problem is in the battery
However I'll try it and see what happens !

sounds like a silly question but i have seen it alot. Are you charging through a computer(USB) or wall?

It could be related to setCPU and the according profiles. Just recently I saw that my profiles were messed up after updating ROM and kernel. Might be worth a shot.

Reinstall stock kernel Issue #1 fixed.
Issue 2 sounds like charger shut off and left TF on not charging.

You've pretty much explained to yourself why the thing is shutting down.. It works fine on the stock kernel but not one that is letting you overclock.. Sounds to me like you are either overclocking more than it can handle or undervolting to much or both.
I can almost bet that its not shutting down completely and its just going into a state that the screen is off but the OS is hung up, so its not responding to you turning the screen on.. This would explain why the battery seems to be dieing when its sitting idle.
Not sure about it dieing while its plugged in other than maybe a fluke.

I don't wanna use the stock kernel.. it's really slow !!
and i over clock to 1.4 ghz only since i can't overclock more than that because it restarts itself endlessly if i overclocked more than 1.4 ghz !! i undervolted about -25 or -50.. not much !!
Yes i charge it on a wall or anything but NOT on my computer...
How can i change profiles in setcpu ??

No no you misunderstood! DONT let the battery hit 0.

First, you need to use more exclamation points !!!!
sounds like you are suffering from deep sleep issues. What rom are you running? also, have you tried running a custom kernel and not overclock it? You have several variables that can be influencing your issues, start isolating what may be causing your problems. the kernel seems the must likely of culprits, I would clear the overclock and install setcpu and run it for a but and see if you can replicate your issue.

Just try the non stock kernel, oc it but dont uv it, not all devices can handle uv, even if it is only a little bit. Even take it back too 1000mhz and try to increase the uv and oc by little bits at a time to see exactly what your transformer can handle. I think its the uv thats causing the problems. Experiment a bit and youll find the sweet spot.

I'm using Revolver ROM and i mentioned that...
I've never undervolted till yestersay.. maybe it caused the second problem
I set the clock speed at 1ghz and i'm waiting to see if anything changes..

Yeah... the problem still occurs even after setting the clock speed at 1ghz and default voltage !! using clemsyn kernel ver 22...

Every device is different. Differences in manufacturing etc. You might have a picky device. Plus these are mobile platforms. No fans, just convection cooling. They are not meant to be tweaked and oc'ed they way we do. The stock kernel is very fast. What is it that you cannot do on the stock kernel that the extreme oc let's you do?

I'm guessing my device is bad and it's Asus' problem ! i tried setting the clock speed at normal 1Ghz but the problem still occurs !! the reason i overclock is that because with the stock kernel i get slower web browsing and slower flash playback and slower overall performance!! however I'm back on the stock kernel to check out if the problem is gone or not...
I doubted my device couple months ago... because I've seen everyone overclock their devices at 1.6 GHz Without any issues !! but when i try to overclock a little bit more than 1.4 GHz it restarts itself endlessly !!

Had the same issue a few months ago. Be prepared to wake up to a dead TF.
I sent it back to ASUS and they replaced main board and battery. Under warranty of course. I suggest you unroot and use a stock rom for now.

You stated in an earlier post that the problem does not show up in the stock ASUS setup, but only with a custom ROM and Kernel. How does that make it ASUS' problem. If you buy a car that says it runs on 87 octane fuel and you put 100% nitro methane in the tank and it blows up it is not the manufacturers fault.

Any ideas

Hi there,
Firstly, I would ensure we rule out a hardware issue by flashing a completely stock firmware using ODIN. It would be best if you remove your external SD card, and backup all your data on your internal memory and then wipe as much as you can as well. After flashing a stock firmware, see if there is a battery drain still, and if so you will at least have more evidence to suggest there is a hardware issue.
CPU Spy is an excellent app for discovering issues whereby the CPU is being utilised too much - additionally, System Panel is also excellent. However, again neither of these will be able to determine if there is a hardware issue of some sort, only excessive CPU usage.
WRT EFS backup, my preferred method it to use Root Explorer and create an archive whilst in the EFS directory. It will put the archive on your SD card - and it takes no time at all.
Some of the apps I mentioned will be charged for I guess, but not very much.
If you need more details, let me know.

:-( my battery was perfect. I installed onecosmic and it was fine battery was normal after few days my battery started draining fast 1% every 3 minutes and I flashed Miui mintberry rom and still problem exist. Even wifi off and background data off and edge too it drains 1% 3-5 minutes while screen is off or deep sleep it drain 1% evey hour
Last night I flashed back to stock rom 2.3.4 and rooted and installed Miui mintberry rom again still problem exist
What should I do :-( plx help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

ok.
You need to examine this problem to narrow down the cause. You will have to invest some time and possibly a little money to achieve that! If all else fails, you can of course buy a new battery - but it's best to work out where the drain is coming from.
Have you checked the battery log in Android settings?
Also consider installing OS Monitor, it is free and allows you to look at what processes are running.

That's quite some drain!
It's important to get the right tool for the job here and the apps you are using aren't detailed enough unfortunately.
System Panel will inspect android system apps to check where CPU usage is and log it making it very easy to determine what is happneing.
BetterbatteryStats will allow you to check on the WakeLocks which are a big cause of battery drain when the screen is off.
I use them both - but must say I haven't see such fast battery drain as yours.
Throughout this process, I suggest you stick to a ROM as close to stock as possible but prefereably with CWM.

ok; excellent.
If you need help turning on the "monitor" mode of system panel let me know. Otherwise just turn it on and then use your phone normally for a while (i.e. allow time for it to be left with screen off as well) after that stats will be collected to show how the CPU has been used over that time.
Also check CPU Spy and make sure that the CPU isn't "stuck" in 1000Mhz

Galaxy Note randomly shuts down

Since i upgraded to ICS my note randomly shuts itself down to the point I have to longpress the on/Off button tot boot It up again.. there's no sign of low battery after rebooting ...

Sounds like an SOD. It is very common with ICS Roms and currently there isn't really a proper fix for it. Essentially, your phone is still on, but its screen won't come back on until you reboot/pull battery. Look up SOD or screen of death or some other combination to search for tips on how to improve its reliability

Flash basband lp6 that will fix your sods

Yeah its weird prior to lp5/6 release I had nothing but sod. But with new ics leak I haven't had any sod with stock or custom roms and I think majority of the community hasn't had many if any like the old leaks.

Here you go mate flash via cwm http://www.mediafire.com/?zuicr1120j54vx9
Do wipes too before just to be on safe side

the restoring apps could be the issue also. Remember that stunner rom, has alot of built in root apps that cover setting up the cpu and such. If the modem doesnt fix it I would suggest starting over fresh with your apps, and seeing if your problem goes away.

Flashed modem.. and my note seems to have survived the night ..
If I get a sod today .. I'll restart from stock later this evening, and manually restore my apps and/or userdata..

i would reccomend Stunner 0.5
just for its power saving options you can control 3g data and Wifi at any time to be turned off automaticly so it saves battery though ROM is quite kind with power, anyway install it clean and then just with any CPU managing application set the settings of CPU to 1400 MAX - 200 MIN and ONDEMAND so it doesn't run constantly on full power and then add a profile for Screen Off and set it to 200 MAX- 200 MIN aply at boot of course checked good luck

I've had SoD's and reboots on imilka's CM9v2 and Stunner 5 beta so when Stunner released 1.4.19 I started completely fresh. I reflashed the LP1 repack with wipe, did another full wipe in CWMR before flashing Stunner 1.4.19, flashed the LP6 modem and did another full wipe. I've been using it for about 20 hours, 14 hours since my last manual reboot and I haven't had a problem yet.

Just flashed the new Stunner 1.4.19 this morning over my existing 5.0 version..
And have not had one SOD since..
Let's hope it stays that way..

I think ics is to early in this stage to restore apps with userdata. Im not talking about xda app, slacker or things of that nature. But restoring things like setcpu, rootexplorer and other root apps could lead into problems. Unless you are very strict about backups.
Happy you got your problem situated.

Hey guys, lucky I found this thread.
I followed this guide as literally as I could: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151
But as far as I can tell I am, too, getting a screen of death every now and then. For example, I went to bed last night and left my phone with 70% battery, this morning, 8 hours later, I found it with 22%. When I checked the battery graph (I would post a SS but I cant use the stylus for that and dont know any apps for the job ATM) I found a "gap" between 70% and 22%, its like nothing was there. So Im tempted to believe that it is, in fact, a SoD.
I've read the experiences of this previous user but I cant really figure out what it is im supposed to do to fix my note. I am using CM9 (latest nightly) and would like to continue doing so, is there a way for me to fix the SoD without changing roms?? I am not a m4d h4xx0r on this subjet, but I manage and I can follow a clearly laid out guide as good as anyone.
I would hate to waste your time, so if you could please be extra clear when explaining whatever procedure I must follow it would be awesome.
If anyone could help me out on this subject you would have my humble thanks!

Galaxy Note 2 shuts off
The issue exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well and has nothing to do with software.
The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
Also, take a look at this site I built that goes in to more detail regarding the issue: www.GalaxyNote2ShutsOff.com
One look at that short video and I am sure there will be some light bulbs going off. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.

i just noticed this morning after unplugging my note that even though my note is going into deep sleep the battery drain is still way too much as compared to the previous day...
i checked cpuspy and at first didn't register anything odd except that it goes into deep sleep.. after a second glance only then i realized that instead of running at 200mhz my note was running at 1000mhz during charge..
has anyone here experienced this before?? although i noticed that it seems to be a lot snappier now
i just can't help but worry what lasting damage it may be doing to the processor... and the fact that even though it goes into deep sleep i'm losing about 5% of juice for every 15-20 mins.
see screenshots below. the first was when i unplugged it from the charger and the second... after going to deep sleep

ANy new apps that u installed recently ?
Normally , rogue process is going to call an abnormal battery drain ,,,download some sort of process,app moniter and see which process is running and taking most of the CPU time......My guess is that it has to be one of the apps that you have installed or started which is causing this

That was what I thought initially but I don't remember installing anything these past few days as I just froze a few bloatware and was monitoring the device for any issues.
The last thing I remember changing was some setting under the development concerning background process.
Hmmmn. Maybe I'll put it back and see.

this may be the reason - afair this setting kills each process after you leave it, so in readily you might have ended with a constant loop of processes being closed and then restarted by system

i unchecked the limiting of background process but still the same... cpu is still running at 1000mhz most of the time
i did a hard reset by turning off and pulling the battery for a few minutes... still the same although the note still goes into deep sleep but hardly uses other cpu speeds except for 1000mhz...
i tried freezing some of my apps and games, those which i suspect might have required 1000mhz to run but still the same...
i guess i'll just have to wait and see for a little while if this changes...
i'm now thinking of reverting back to GB... since the battery drain for ICS is such a let down and with this problem... i'll give it a couple more days

anyway something in the governor seems to have changed ,your case seems to be a performance governor.
try installing set cpu and set minimum to 200 ,max to 1400 ,and the governor to "on demand"
should fix things for you

IM on stock Ics lp9. I haven't root yet after I upgraded ota.
Set CPU requires root ain't it?

yes it does ,but if you're not rooted then the governor couldn't possibly have changed by you !!
could it be a bug in lp9? I heard that ICS have some battery issues
how long were you running LP9 before noticing this issue?

Well, havent heard it from that rom. Bring it back

it might be the fault of some rogue app running in background, did you check with betterbatterystats?

I was using lp9 for about 2 Weeks after I started noticing the CPU usage
Couldn't find a fix so I reverted back to rooted lc2 GB
With all the issues with Ics - battery drain, fc's and mmc bug and now this CPU overclocking felt it wasn't worth it.
Now the note is sleeping like a baby. Battery is back to its efficient self. I'm getting 3 days on one full charge.
Will just wait for an update on official Ics.
Appreciate all the help guys.
