Well I've got an overheating problem...
The trouble began yesterday. I've waited for something and played just a little Rayman fiesta run. Phone got warm, but nothing to wonder since it was game.. Well it didn't get cold again. While it was warm i wanted to charge it because i've only had 20% Battery left. After an hour or something it was still warm and it only charged a litte. I turned it of to charge it again.
Well after a couple of hours - I played a game on the PC - it was still turned of but still hot. after turning on it had 59%, and it should have been full after that time.
I've tried a full Wipe, but it changed nothing. Still the same problem.
Edit: Installed a newer Version. Uhm Well it's like before, everthing works just fine except the great heat that is produced....
If the backcover is removed, the MIcroSD slot is getting so hot that it really hurts your finger if you touch it. This huge heat will start right after starting. At the Galaxy S4 start screen it's getting as hot as if I played for a while.
An App told me, that the CPU Temeperature is something between 70 and 80 Degrees (Celius). Shouldn't be that hot after doing nothing... And the Battery Current was also high as ****. changing between 500 to 1000 milli Amps. WTF? But I don't know how much I can trust that App.
My Phone is routed and Cyanogenmod 12 is installed. Right now I'm downloading the newest Version to see if the phone is working after that. But I highly doubt it since it's overheating direcly after pressing the start button and the same Nightly run perfectly stable for 2 Month or something....
Anyone knows how to fix that? Or is the phone (almost) dead?
Try cleaning your usb port. It's possible that some dust or something else makes a connection between the connectors.
It can also be an app running in the background. You can check in battery stats.
Ok the USB Port wasn't the solution, but uhm it was still nice to clean it because it was dirty as hell.
But i guess i found the solution. The god damned MicroSD card is quite... dead... I guess... Well my smartphone can't read the data, it doesen't get that hot if the card isn't plugged in and if i put the damned card in another phone, right after boot it's getting hot, too. So I guess the card is F**ked.
Damned, I don't have the bill of the SD card anyomer... crap. _All_ my smartphone data is lost. But at least the phone seems to work. I really don't have the money to buy a new one

Try formatting it. Sometimes that helps. Glad you sorted it out though
Nope. That card seems to be dead.
If I remove it from the phone, the Phone realizes it, that the SD Card was removed. But If it is inside I can't acces it from wich app i ever try. TWRP hasn't got acces, too. I guess all my stuff on there is now lost forewer... I should finally buy the titanium Backup pro app with cloud synchronisation.......
The SD Slot however is fine. Tried an old 2GB Card. works fine.

I was copying some music to my storage card in Disk Drive mode.
Finished, ejected the drive, unplugged and the HD2 switched off ... VERY HOT.
wont turn back on. I have tried factory reset but no power whatsoever..
anyone.... HELP PLEASE....
am pretty sure that if I go to vodafone I'll have to wait forever for a replacement...
BAH HUMBUG

Strange, i must admit my hd2 seams to get very hot while connected to the pc, but not while charging with the wall charger?.
Could be a dead battery fuse blown, you may need to try a spare?
Very possibly but I dont have a spare battery!
GG
Huh?
My HTC HD2 never gets too hot.
It only gets warm.
I've transferred 4GB of files (from a backup of my Touch Diamond internal storage) on my MicroSDHC class 6, got 5-6MB/s of speed.
At transfer completed, my HD2 was only warm...
Replace your HD2, it might be faulty!
Thanks for your replies ....
its going back to vodafone.. but i will have to wait a week for more stock for the replacement...
not good.
although I could cancel my voda subscription and go with someone else as i am still in my cancellation period.

So now my DVP has learned a new trick. I was driving home and noticed the power was off. Could've sworn it had plenty of battery, so I went to power it on.
Now it just sits there and power cycles...all the time. Tried yanking the battery, replacing it, and charging it plugged into the wall...still sits and power cycles.
Between this and the whole SD debacle, I'm getting pretty pissed off at this phone.
Have you replaced the SD Card? Could the power button be sticking?
Yes - the SD card was replaced. Several times actually, and all replacements worked fine (reset + card swap, then power on) for a week...then this suddenly started occurring.
Someone at the MS store blamed it on that, which I guess is okay, but seriously - if that is the case, then Dell needs to put a legitimate "this will void your warranty" sticker on there rather than some black bar that *supposedly* shows "void" once you peel it off, even though nobody in the store could actually read what the hell it said.
I have had something like that happen with my phone as well. I have not replaced the MicroSD card but maybe 4 or 5 times this last week the phone has seemingly been off or off in space when I try and turn it on from "sleep". All the times this has happened I had to pull the battery. Once it did the same thing again right away but most of the time it goes back to normal.
I thought it was one of the apps that might be causing some issues so I have removed it and will see if this stops.

What SD cards are you guys using? I have had a Sandisk 32gb Class 2 in since Friday morning and no issues so far (crosses fingers).
I used a Kingston C4 32GB - worked fine aside from the slow Zune sync, same with the Patriot C4 16GB. The one that worked properly was a Wintec 16GB C10 card - until the power cycling occurred. I replaced the stock card and it still did the same thing. I would expect if it was *really* a card issue, it would've booted but displayed an error, as it does if you just replace the card without doing a reset.
After some more testing it seems this happens when I am pretty sure it has to do with some Marketplace app bug. When I search in the marketplace it seems to happen. Phone will go to sleep and then not come back. I end up having to pull the battery to get it back. Hopefully this will get fixed in an update.
My recommendation is to use the phone for a few weeks *before* swapping out cards. In this case, no one knows if it's a hardware issue, software, or something about the MicroSD card.
Keep it stock. See if it's fine that way. If so, then swap out cards. If it starts to act up, then you likely have your culprit.

agreed. saves time when using process of elimination.
Only had mine 3 weeks and its broken already. I have been using a desktop charger and have not been forcing it in at all, not once, I have always been very gentle inserting it it, anyway it no longer charges, it looks like the connectors have pushed themselves back so they are not flush anymore and thus no longer connecting to charge or sync.
Not happy about this at all, I had my desktop charger for my HD2 for 18 months with no problems at all, this suggest a very weak connector.
!!! BE CAREFUL !!!
Going to call in at Phones4you and see if they will swap it, I don't hold out much hope though.
Wow bad luck man, but really you don't need the F word to express your frustration.

was it an official desktop charger or 3rd party?
DO a factory reset using code *2767*3855#
(please not this will wipe everything including built in memory, so do backup before you proceed. Backup possible by moving content of internal memory to SD card by copy paste in file manager)
I had a problem when my phone stopped charging after I upgraded firmware, It would also launch Connected to computer screen when it wasnt . Thought its dead.
Did factory reset using this code and its working flawlessly ever since. Seems to be some kind of bug which happens out of nowhere as 2 people I know have experienced this after upgrading to KE2.

I was going to ask exactly the same thing...
I think the OP means that the micro usb receptacle has come away from the board and has been pushed back into the body of the phone. I hope this is not going to turn out to be a common problem as it's something that seemed plague to the Nokia N900 and it took ages for Nokia to acknowledge a design/production fault.
great advice, now it wont boot at all, just goes round in circles....
F**cked.....
anyone got any ideas?
Hi, the charger isnt really the issue, i haven't had any problems inserting the phone into the charger, ie no resistance which suggests to me it was week or loose and has gradually pushed it self back over the last 2 weeks since I have had the charger. If thats the case it would have done this with any charger or cable.
Just spoke to phones4you, they are going to exchange it for me, they didnt even grumble after I told them what happened which I thought was odd, heading off now to pick it up.
Will be interesting to see if your wifi is any better on the new phone stoolzo. Maybe you could let us know. Thanks.
good old phones4you
got it already, yes I really have. Phones4you are just round the corner in PC world. Will check my wifi tonight and report back on the other thread.
Please change the thread title. All type of people view xda.

remove and reinsert battery
i had this issue when running custom kernels. somehow doesnt happen with stock.
issue happens like this:
u go to bed while charging
u wake up and the phoneis off or very hot with battery and temperature warning
u reboot and it doesnt reboot, doesn't boot, just goes in circle battery display/reboot cause it doesnt seem to charge neither have enough power to boot.
removing battery + cable then putting both back = it boots again and charge normally

Yeah, did all the usual things, I have bricked phones before and always managed to turn them around but we have no CMR to flash anything from ROOT/SD so when it wouldn't boot after a factory reset I knew I was in trouble
The MHL port being loose was the tell tale sign of a fault as I hadn't misused it at all. When I compared it to my new phone I got today it was defo a little further back, just enough to prevent it connecting.
Good old phones4you, fault report to phone exchange in under an hour, impressive.
Just in case the charger had anything to do with this I am going to get rid, dont think it did but I don't want to risk it.
its this one:

Hey guys, I'm an common forum visitor (usually not logged in) and this is my first post. I will explain the whole story, as it may contain important evidence for the resolution of my problem. Sorry for the big text and thanks for your help in advance
I'm in a pickle here,
I really love the WP7 OS, much more than Android and I want to keep it. But the thing is, my phone wont charge with my SD card on (I just found that). After many months with no problems with WP7, this problem starts being recurring on multiple ROMs.
The thing is, when the SD card is on the slot, the phone keeps booting and rebooting for charge when the batteries are low (But if they have some battery, it simply won't charge). After awhile, appears the "storage is dead screen" (the SD is the phone "internal" storage. I get that). So I remove the SD card and guess what... It starts charging! Awesome, problem solved.
... Not yet. I put the card back and it can't get past the ROM creator/cooker screen (which is before the WP logo appears). I figure: the SD Data is probably damaged and preventing the phone to even display the error message (but that doesn't make sense, since it should go back to the error message anyway. It did without the SD card being plugged in).
I need a safe way to charge the phone without breaking the Data every single time. Most likely, I need to remove the SD card before.
Any ideas you guys can share? Thanks!
PS: Love the forum. Such a life saver from that old, dead WM6.5. Much <3 for the Teams Involved
EDIT: High Capacity Battery is not charging at all. In neither way. Only the normal one. Is it a battery problem?
phone terminals
Have u tried straightening the terminals for better contact with the battery? They may look fine to u, but u can just use ur finger nails or a screw driver to push them into position. The terminals DO cause that kind of problem.
Hi guys,
A few days ago my s5 had an 'episode'. My micro SD suddenly stopped working (now phone or computer doesnt recognise it) and from that point now a few strange things happen:
My battery seems to drain really fast
When the phone is locked, if i push the home / power button it now takes 4 to 5 seconds for the screen to wake up so I can enter my pin
Almost every time I unlock my phone now it tells me to check the battery cover is correctly sealed
At one point yesterday it got really hot in my pocket (so I took the battery out to chill it out).
So I am wondering if my s5 fried the SD card possibly? a different SD is recognised fine by the phone. And any ideas how I can fix the strange behavours? I have tried taking the battery out for a while etc. Cheers for any advice in advance.
The warning to close the charging cover is a normal annoyance
Hot battery depends what you're doing with it, and if it's closed up in your pocket while it's busy
Long time unlocking is not unheard of either
All your faults seem normal, sounds like the MicroSD card just committed suicide
fair point but all of these things started happening at exactly the same time just as the SD card fried...

I have the exact same problem
so it seems taking out the buggered SD card sorted the other problems - I think it was constantly trying to access it and draining resources. Seems sorted now - so just a new SD card is needed
