You may have something running. I know the phone can get hot at times due to the quad core CPU. If you hold down the home button you can swipe apps to kill them from running in the background. Holding the home button down for awhile brings up the task manager.

Thanks, I kill all the app like that, also have betterbatterystats and nothing seems to be out of order. the proble it's worst when I put the phone on my pocked.

mine does NOT get hot, or even that warm (screen on in use gets warmer than phone/battery during charging), i have UV'd the CPU *slightly* but it should not get 'hot'. maybe check out Temp+CPU and see how hot its running. Im usually around 31C, same as battery.

Nexus one, froyo laggy

My nexus one became laggy recently with slow response to key depressions when typing emails and texts, changing between apps. Wiped the device clean and started again and all is well again.
Have you experienced this behavior on your N1? And if so is there an app or a diagnostic tool that we tell me whats going on? As now i have to reconfig it. Thanks.

probably something you recently installed slowing it down.
Wish i knew what, as i've put everything back on now.

System Panel will show if there's a particular application that's using CPU... Is the phone getting warm often or staying warm? That's the obvious indication the CPU is spinning..
I don't recall it getting warm. Well it's better now. I'll check the processes running next time it starts being laggy. Thanks for the tips.

I didn't, I am on quite a high build tho 1.126.03, so perhaps it will help if you install OTA updates.

Not sure which you want to fix - you asked 2 totally unrelated questions in one thread. Probably not a good approach. Nobody reading your thread title will come in here to answer a GPS question.
As for that GPS question, make sure in Settings, Location & security you have Use GPS Satellites checked.
I've found that when I think its off it really isn't. I long press the power button and that's what turns it off at least for me. Now I press the power button once maybe twice lightly to wake it

I have said it in other threads, I have no heating issues here. When I play CPU/GPU intensive games it certainly gets warmer but nothing outrageous or worse than other phones I have had and it doesn't get uncomfortable to touch. I certainly don't need to power it off for it to cool down, that sounds worrying to me.
Then I think I have to contact the service centre...
And should go fr a replacement. ...

If I were u I would certainly get a replacement which I did and my second s4 is fine even wheni play intensive games it does not get hot like my previous s4 use 2 do
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Mine gets warm when playing games or GPS but never hot hot hot
If you are at home screen and its hot makes sure GPS is off and go into task manager to make sure nothing is running in background!!!

[ Q ] not turning on

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

It was plugged for like an hour or so and no dice.
I think im screwed

Not sure if it would help your specific problem, but my thread covers every fix known-to-man for issues such as yours. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.

Yup - there is a sticky that covers this method, and all the other methods as well. For anyone else suffering from similar N7 issues, be sure to check it out. Either go to stickies in this Troubleshooting section, or use this link.

Install the free app "wakelock detector" and disable or remove any app that is waking the phone up or using too much cpu power.

I removed all bloatware from the phone, used Greenify to hibernate misbehaving apps, Better Battery Stats to find wakelocks and what not, and the usual: lower brightness when you can, disable any gestures or smart features you dont use. Turn off wifi, Bluetooth, and Location when possible. I also underclock my phone to 1.6hz for most of the day.
I get around 24 to 48 hours depending on usage, and around 5-6 hours screen on time.

delete new skype app (old version doesn't wake up the phone)
delete facebook and instead use a browser bookmark... the app is always running in background.
delete ALL samsung related **** and other stuff you don't need.
my problem was wlan_rx_wake which was solved by buying a new router.
i had a fritzbox for 130 euros which seemed to flood my network with some data.... only android phones woke up because of this.
bought a new router for 18 euros... problem solved.
****in piece of **** :silly:
LoL and also Log Out from instagtam when not using!!!!!!! wastes most of the Battry also delete apps you dont use and dont use a live wallpaper!
