Phone Overheating

Well, I live in Arizona so it is pretty hot here, and my phone, as a result gets pretty hot as well. Anyway, after some lengthy use the phone gets to about 40 degrees centigrade and then after a bit turns itself off, and vibrated five short times. After that, I cannot turn the phone back on until I pull the battery and put it back in again. Is this normal? Or is this just a faulty EVO?

I play a couple games that cause my evo to get very hot ie star legends, however it has never shut off on me. i never checked the temp, but it definitely gets very hot to the touch and even though I continue to play, it doesn't turn off..
This is just from my experience.

It's a faulty cpu temp sensor - the phone must be replaced. Search for my identical thread posted about a week ago.

My phone runs ok since this issue appeared, I just make sure to keep the battery < 40C.
I also cool the phone to approx. 30C on an AC vent before flashing any roms or mods - it struggles booting up when the temp is elevated but runs great once booted and under 40C. This will have to do until the 4g's true successor is released...I love my rooted phone running Evo Deck and SZ bfs

I took mine in and of course they gave me a new one. Make that a refurb... However no way I am going to root it right now.. it has the newest firmware..

I hate when you buy a electronic device that is defective and they give you a refurb as a replacement. Hope you guys get root soon.

It is kind of like a swift kick to the junk, furthered by the fact that they gave me an older refurb. Not a fancy 004 refurb... Anyway, patiently awaiting root, since I in no way shape or form have the skill to figure something like that out.. I gave up that career a while ago...

I am in AZ also. When I get high temps, my indicator lights flash an alternating red/green, usually while charging, but it has never turned itself off....

G1 Running on Nokia Battery

Hey Guys Just supplying some information.
My Sensation suffered the dust under screen issue and it has been sent back for repair, in the mean time ive come back to the G1 after picking one up for $50 I used it for about 30 minutes before finding out the battery in it is stuffed.
I have managed to get a 1000mah Nokia BL-5C battery up and running in it with little modification (small plastic strip to hold battery in place as its slightly smaller.
It does not charge in the phone, im guessing this is due to Nokia's Pulse charging and not constant charging but I will be making a usb ended nokia charger which hopefully feeds the battery what it wants. I have two Nokia batterys and have just been using the old nokia for charging and swapping batteries when needed.
If the charger mod works, ill post up so photos of how ive done it all for anyone interested.

Also tested it with my g1 phone, wrks fine

[OFF-TOPIC] Galaxy SII Hangout Thread

Hi guys, I'm new to this part of the forum coming from a Desire S.
The Desire S forum was a really nice place to be, so I decided to set up an OFF-TOPIC thread. It turned out very well, and is a great place where I made friends and learned tips and advice for both my device and other things in life.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611085
I would like to try it here. I hope this thread will also help to cut down the number of OT post in other threads. (as it has done it the Desire S forum)
Basically, this thread serves as a place for any discussion, for fellow GSII users to hangout! Feel free to talk about anything!
So let's go! How about we start by introducing ourselves?

Great lets get started

Great idea...Oly, good to to see you're up to your good work else where....let's hope this bunch appreciate it as much as I know we do/did.

hmmm. well, tbh, not that much high-end anymore. but mid-high,yes,yes indeed.
The only thing i cld complain really at this point is the screen (just resolution, not colours, viewing angles or anything else)
The gpu is still a beast, you can see that if Sammy choose to put same GPU in s3 which is high-end device.
CPU,very nice indeed, no need to talk about chipset anyway, its gonna hold well for solid ammount of time to come.
Anyway. Im 25yo Croatian male, nice to meet you all fellow XDA members.
Cheers

Looks like the thread is off to a great start and good reception. Best of luck, Oly. Have fun.

Perfect thread to talk about what happened to my phone this morning.
So I'm usually not the guy that charges his phone overnight and takes it off the charger the next morning, cuz I get paranoid something is gonna happen.
Well I fell asleep last night while the phone was on the charger. When I picked up my phone this morning it was FREAKIN HOT (I mean hotter then it has ever gotten before) and the battery was drained pretty low.
Turned out that my AC adapter went defective overnight and fortunately I had a different AC handy to replace and troubleshoot.
Crazy thing is that everybody else I know charges their phone overnight too. IDK maybe it's just me *sigh* lol...

I too charge my phone over night and don't experience that problem. Although, once it did happen to me when I had my xperia ray(never Sony again), but that was due to keeping it under my pillow all night while charging.
Did u have yours under your pillow while it was charging?:what:

A quick question to you guys:
On average how much screen on like do you manage on your phone with around medium brightness?
I'm getting just over 3 hours, but I'm wondering if I should be getting more. My battery is 1 year old already, so it may have already lost its full capacity.
I'm also swaying between the Anker 1900mah and Official 2000mah. Ideally i'd like to keep the same battery cover.
Any thoughts?

Hi guys,
This is my first post here in XDA. I'm a noob or, what sometimes is the same, a demon or something...The funny thing is that i've been a member for a long time (2007) but having nothing to say, just read...so it'd be kinda odd if someone's call me noob...hahahhaha
Being using a Galaxy S2 for a year and I think is one of the best smartphones ever made. Even a year later remains one of the most powerful...and with CM10 I'm happier of having it...
I've read a lot of threads and discussions, and it's nice to read and write in a thread like this.
Thank you so much olyloh6696.

Battery charging issue (or not?!? )

Hi guys. Ive just got myself a nexus 7, my first android tab!
Ive searched around for the issue and found similar problems but none exactly the same!?
I plug my nexus in, and nothing happens. It says and does nothing.
Ive tried my ipad charger, different cables, and nothing.
Ive checked my the battery info on the settings however, and it says it is not charging, even though according to the chart it is, albeit a tad slow (putit on charge at around 40%,at around 5.00-5.30, its now 9.30 at 98% and still rising)
If i turn it off the battery charging symbol(s) come up.
Is there any fixes? Ive tried 4-5 different cables, 2 chargers, all the same.
Its not put me off android tabs or anything, the tab so far is mint and is alot more fun than my ipad!!

Try flashing a new ROM or flash the factory image from Google, tbh it doesn't seem like a major problem, its just an issue with the battery animation in the status bar.
Also you should use the proper charger, not sure of the output on the iPad charger but this one is 2.0a whereas my gnex charger is 0.7a.

Thanks! Im gonna try wiping it shortly i am using the asus charger now, and the ipad charger is the same output as the asus one! (ipads have beefier chargers than the phones)
Im not too fussed as most of the time ill leave it to charge overnight anyway. Its up to 100% too now, only really a 5hr first charge?!

OK that'll probably sort it for you and if not then flashing a factory image is pretty straightforward and puts it back to basic stock everything fresh and new.
ah OK that's good to know about the iPad charger!

Not really, but its not a problem worth fretting over, just do it once you get home. It still charges so its just an aesthetic issue really.

Who's liking their fast charging?

Loving it! Kinda took me by surprise even though i knew i had it. Waited until my battery got to 1% then plugged this baby in, went to do something whick took 2-3 minutes. Now im already at 10% wow! I could see this as being super useful in rushed situations.

It came in handy this morning. Apparently I was so tired last night that I set my phone down on the wireless charging station (forgetting that I didn't have the wireless charging cover) and forgot to plug in it. At some point in the night my phone died, meaning my alarm didn't go off. Luckily my wife's goes off about 10 minutes after mine normally would. So, I plugged it up & was able to have a 50% charge before walking out the door to go to work this morning. That was a very pleasant experience with the quick charge feature.

P.P.S Defintitely not sure about it but you can be.
Greenpeace would complain because more power is used to charge quicker and for more power used, there is more power needed but for the extra power needed, coal power stations need more coal and to get the coal you dig it out of the ground. So in other words, the dinosaurs may be dead but they are dead pissed.

Some people on other forums said it would ruin their battery quicker. So not everyone is typically fond of the idea.

Does it have wireless charging out of the box?

It doesn't come with it out the box, but you can always buy the back cover from Samsung.

Or this if you do not want a thicker back cover. I hear that the back cover is slightly thicker and may not fit some cases.

The biggest I see with this "Faster Charging" is that, this is the first phone I have ever owned that doesnt die on the charger.
What I mean by that is that, when I using the HotSpot Tether and playing games and multitasking all at the same time, my previous phones would either over heat and force the phone to cut off to cool down "LG G3" or the battery percent would get lower and lower while on the charger.
This has been my problem on every phone from the HTC M8 to S5 to M7 to Note 3 to Nexus 4/5 everyphone.
With this faster charging it charge fast and is able to keep up with my multi tasking demands while using the phone.
This may be a feature of the Snapdragon 805 being able to handle the work load better.
