Has anyone had the phone go very very hot while charging? I'm using the official mini charger and back cover for the S5, and the phone has gone super hot (can't hold to my face - but still runs fine) twice in 2 weeks.
The first time I assumed was my fault, as I left it to charge on a bed.
The second time I started charging it at 7%. I pulled it off due to the heat at 51% (no warnings, I just did as a precaution) with adequate space to cool

So my battery is at 56%, I hook it upto the charger it's been on the charger for a good 2 hours now. I unhook it and my battery suddenly is at 30%...
Also I've noticed that my device gets hot, not burn your hands hot but noticably warm hot.
Should I be worried? Could there be a short somewhere, the device is just 3 days old.
was your wfi turned on during charging?
Yes it was
that sounds really bad especially since it didn't charge
did the light come on? you might want to consider getting an exchange
Yes the light did come on and the charging symbol did apear on the screen.
If wifi is turned on and set to best performance, and if you have backlight set to remain on when connected to external power, your device will drain more power that charge.
that will explain your battery/charge/heat issue
Actually I can confirm this shouldn't be true. I turned WiFi on, turned my brightness to maximum and always on. In about 10 minutes I went from 52% to 54%.
I was using the wall adapter to charge it. USB charging might be too slow to replenish that kind of drain.
definately exchange
you don't want it to blow up
So I started charging my phone earlier and it took forever, and the phone got very hot, but I didn't think more of it and unplugged it. Then it dropped under 15% and I decided to charge it again. It's been in the charger for 30 minutes and it's only gone from 9% to 10%...
Am I the only one with this problem? =S
Edit: It still gets very warm.
Turn it off and on?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I was sort of hoping it went without saying that I had done that.
I've also tried:
Charging it through my PC
Charging it through the wall charger
Both give the same result as listed in the first post. Also tried removing everything (battery, simcard, mem.card) and reinserting it.
Still it gets very warm and charges almost nothing! =S
Are you using a different USB cable or charger than the one provided?
I have tried several different USB > Micro cables and not all of them have worked properly.
My old BB wall charger works fine, as does my old Motorola one (both plug a USB cable into), but wife's iPhone one does not.
I really don't think that's the problem... I finally got it up to 100% with the wall charger, but when I restarted it after having reinserted the MicroSD, it had dropped 13%. In a few seconds, does not make any sense =S
Night time here now though, so gonna see how much it loses in just standby, if it's a lot I'll try reinstalling the update. But this seems to be an isolated issue?
I noticed that charging it with the wall charger is at least 3 times faster.
Also, you're right, the phone can get really hot while charging and at some point it even stops charging when it's too hot , it happens easier when charging using a computer since the charge takes more time, the only thing that helped in my case was to remove the battery cover and blow some air on the battery
The problem sin't that it charges SLOWER, it charges about the same for both, currently. The problem is that it hardly charges at all...
Also, it was at 100%, then dropped to 87% just with me turning it off, reinserting the memory card and turning it on again.
I went to bed at 2am last night, then it had 87% battery. When I woke up at 9am, it was dead.
your battery is faulty
email SE telling them your battery wont charge but that your friends/spare/new battery does charge when in your phone (to rule out the usb fault that some x10's had) and then they should send you one out.
tl;dr at bottom
I recently purchased LG's WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad for use with my Nexus 4 (Rooted, Stock ROM, Franco Kernel r127).
Last night after running my phone down to ~8%, (with some bump charging a few percent points with a cable during use) it got really hot. Once it got hot, all connection dropped. The phone showed greyed out wifi and cell service bars, and I could not send SMS or access the web.
Once I let the phone cool down and rebooted, everything was fine. I figured that it was a normal response for the phone to prevent itself from overheating and was okay with it. When it overheated I was in a Google+ hangout.
Here is where the wireless charging comes in. I put it on charge last night, and when I woke up this morning my phone was around 60% power. Looking at the attached screenshots, the phone appears to have stopped charging a couple hours later, and thinks it has been on battery power for over one day. To me that indicates that the phone did not realize it was charging.
If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
tl;dr: Phone overheated, dropped all connection. When phone cooled and I rebooted connection came back. Wireless charging pad only charged phone for a couple hours from ~8% to ~60%. Solutions?
Hello, it has been happening to me for last 2 days that when I put the phone on charger, the battery sometimes charges at an extremely slow rate (14% to 23% in 1.5 hrs), and sometimes it even discharges while the charger is connected. I am attaching the battery screen here.
You can see that first it goes down from 100 during morning to evening. This is normal behavior owing to my usage. Then I charged it and up goes the curve with a high angle because I use a good charger. This is also fine. Then I disconnect and heavily use the phone again and then put the phone on charger overnight. This is where the problem starts!
Now you see, first of all the battery starts going up then it suddenly starts dropping while still on charger. I woke up to find 23% battery after charging overnight. I noticed in the screenshot that my phone was constantly waking up all night long, may be this could have been the problem. So I connected it to charger again to see the battery level rising in front of my eyes. But again, after 3 hours I found that my battery is 51% and the curve has started to fall down again, and this time there were not enough wakeups.wakelocks.
I am using a powerful charger. It is made in china but it charges all the phones in my home perfectly. I also tried on another charger (also probably china) with the same results on my phone only.
I am using the stock rom, unrooted (can't root version 182.*.*.*)
Do you have thinks running in the background while you charge? Mines charges a lot faster if I turn off internet, kill background apps.
Also is it overheating while chsrgeing? You get a better charge if the phone stays cool
And third your phone might think the charger is a computer. I say this because mines charges really sloe when I connect it to a computer, like 12% per hour. Try a third charger, diffrent brand and wattage compared to the ones yoive tried. it might help.
yes there are background apps but there hasn't been a change which triggered this. the background have worked fine before.
no overheating issue. in fact, this device always feels cooler.
I've always used this charger, my whole family uses it without any issue but now the problem just started happening to me. and even with me the problem is not constant. I just charged up to 50% without any problem. there is one thing left to try. that is, I should try to restart in safe mode and try charging in that mode. if that works fine then it's definitely an app, otherwise the issue may be bigger.
My tab has some problem with battery drain/charging. This happened just over night.
Even if the tab is powered off, the battery is drained within a one or two hours.
First I noticed that when charging, one spot on the back cover is within minutes over 46 degrees hot and charging is very slow (20% after 5 hours). The spot stays hot after removing the charging cable and the tab is powered off, until the battery totally drained.
After removing the cover, the circuit (see picture) is going hot immediatelly after connencting the charging cable, even if the battery is disconnected.
Maybe is this circuit damaged? Any opinion?
