Battery running super hot

I know that everyone has problems with the battery but I've never seen anything like this. I used to barely be able to squeeze 8 hours out of it but it keeps getting worse. The battery is always really hot, running at around 40 degrees celsius and depletes itself pretty rapidly. I've been off the charger for 2 and a half hours and I'm already down to 48%. Has anyone else seen this or had it this bad? I've searched the forums here and at PPC Geeks but to no avail. I'm running Fresh ROM 0.3.x. I haven't had time to update but it's on the to-do list for today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And it's dead. 4 and a half hours. PoS.

I am too getting these results. I think it is fresh rom because im running it too.

Try Damage Control. Battery life is pretty good. Set profile in Dconfig to battery saver. Even overclocked battery is pretty good. No matter what though, if you're power using the phone (games,internet,etc) its usually only gonna last a few hours. Task managers help also.

I've got ATK killing apps every half hour and today I barely used the thing. I didn't get a call, not one text, and maybe only used the Engadget app a couple of times.

Mine was a little warm when I first got it (power using while playing!); I took it to Sprint techs and they investigated. Mine was normal due to high use, but there WAS a known issue with some bad batteries, and they were ready to jump in and replace mine if it had shown those symptoms.
Now rooted, running DC ROM on mixed battery savings/performance profile...perfect. No issues. At least 18 hrs per charge with fairly heavy phone use.

what were the "symptoms"? i would like to know...

Try clearing your battery stats. I had the same problem(crazy warm battery and really bad battery life)
I did it through the recovery(clockworkmod) go to advanced then wipe battery stats. theres other ways to do it too just search around here and you'll find them.

I installed the latest Fresh ROM last night and it seems to be working great now. We'll see as time goes on.

Tired of my Evo poor battery

My Evo has been Pissing me off. It dies in less then 4 hours of use and if I don't use it and leave it on standby it dies in 6 hours.
I just got it six days now and I wish I had my hero back again. This phoenix is really ridiculous and since I got the 2.2 update I can't do nothing to try and kill start up programs and nothing.
I'm thinking about ending my contract with Sprint and get something like the Droid x cause I'm not into the epic 4g at all. I know the hardware is better but I check the roms over that side and I'm sorry. There garbage.
How are you stock 2.2 guys doing with battery life and what do you recommend me do to get batter battery life. I already turned off everything as in gps, Bluetooth.4g. Everything except data. I use ny data. But I don't think j could take this any linger.
I'm at 61 percent and I have been plugged out for 2 hours now. Someone has any advice?

Dang... I normally get around 10-12 hours of normal use. The only time I get 6 is if I'm streaming Pandora over 4G all day. Have you gone to the Sprint store and complained? That sounds like a bad battery.

Sounds like you didn't charge it correctly the first time. I get over 24 hours of standby and occasional calls or about 8-10 if im listening to music all day and browsing the web and I'm on stock froyo.

I got it two days used cause there's none in ct. And they won't have any more Evo for 2 more weeks. And no one has a battery. I told them that the hero used the same batter and nothing from no one.
I called them last night and they said to bring it on a Sprint store to get it checked on. I told them to send me another battery. And they refuse they rather replace the phone with a refruished phone. Even though the phone is 6 days old.

Have you Rooted yet???
I am running Freak E Froyo version 1 from Yay 4 Juggs and have had 2 days of extremely long battery life. right now sitting at 19.5 hours Up time with 36% left and 2:10 hours awake time. Yesterdays was well over a full day of my average use.
I would post yesterdays picture of the status but the pic is still on the phone and I am waiting to plug it in after work today (9 more hours).
I do believe it has to do with the Kernel you have and how use set it up in SetCpu.
I was in the same boat you are in, I know how you feel. I have read about a few other ways to charge the phone and letting it fully discharge too that might help.
Just don't expect Best Buy to get you a new battery, I've read that they are sending out knock-offs that are lower quality and Mah (something).

Do you have low signal levels? The evo eats up the battery looking for a signal.
Sent from Evo 4g

I can't root cause i have the Froyo ota on my phone. I got it pour that so I can't root but I really want to.
What do you mean lower quality battery. Can I prove thus somehow.
Also I do have poor signals sometimes so I turn off 3g and trust it doesn't help at all. I'm not at 49 percent. My phone has been in my pocket since my last post

Im going on a guess here but he said he had his EVO for the past 6 days . Im also gonna guess his phone came with 2.2 Froyo on it . There might be a possibility it has the messed up Facebook app on it that is causing the drain if he used that . I would take your EVO and do a hard factory reset . Just back up your contacts to gmail before doing the factory reset . I would also pick up a battery from sprint so you are setting everything back to the beginning . Fully charge the new battery and give it a week . I noticed with my stock battery that after a week life seemed to improve . If at the end of the week you havent seen any improvement then I would say bring it back terminate your contract or get a new phone . Your choice and good luck .

I'm going to take your advice. But they fixed he Facebook issue I believe. I can reset everything and see what's up though.

Even with out root you can still do a few things to tweak the battery. Just search the board

JuiceDefender works well for me by intelligently scheduling when data is connected, but if you have low cell signal (like one bar all the time), your phone will crank up the voltage to your antenna to keep a connection open. There's not much you can do about that kind of battery drain.

They fixed the issue but did you download the updated Facebook app ? Thats the only thing im concerned about . I noticed after getting my Froyo update my battery life dropped off as well . I performed a factory reset ,Settings> SD & Phone Storage >Factory Data Reset . Reloaded everything put the phone on the charger and charged the battery to 100% and went from there . On average with my phone use I can get anywhere from 24 - 32 hrs sometimes upwards of 48 . Mind you I dont use 4G since I dont have it in my area. I live 3G on and check my weather and email randomly through out the day as well as use my EVO as an mp3 player at the gym . It seems the phrase "Your Mileage may vary" applies very well to this phone LOL

I am in a similar situation. I can get at least a day out of my phone using it however I please aside from gaming all the time. Coming from a Palm Pre, that kind of life is awesome.
I also have setCPU set pretty aggressively. When the screen is off it sits at 200mhz. When on, it's overclocked as far as it will go.
When I don't call much or use it for the net, I can get home after work (4am to 3pm) and still have about 70 percent battery.

[REVIEW] ROM & Battery (Cme play)

Alright so I have had some time on XDA without really contributing. In the past year I have owned 7 android phones and havent really done anything. My newest try is the NITRO HD which I bought with a broken screen but fixing it. I was skeptical because the Optimus 3D had the worst battery life of the 7 I've owned.
Always with LG phones the question is battery life, so I wanted to share a thread where you guys, the reviewers would post battery info screenshots with information on usage (heavy, moderate, light), which battery you are using, which ROM you are using, Battery brand and size
I will post my first battery review pictures as soon as I get the phone up and running with a custom ROM. You guys (or ladies for the ladies out there), if you want can go ahead and start posting.
Rules/Instructions
Post usage information, pictures or link to screenshot pictures, battery size in mAh, which rom you are using (if on nightly, just post nightly date) and I believe thats just about it. Let the games begin.... or Review
Also, to make it fair, charge battery to 100% and then begin regular usage and take screenshot at 20% battery left or lower

Finally I am on CM9 from 5/7
My battery is the extended hyperion (I think thats the name) 3800mAh
Under heavy usage with over 100 texts, a few 2 minute phone calls, screen on for about 1 hours in that entire cycle and also listening to music through Bluetooth headset for about 2 hours and few camera uses
Goal was 10 hours.
between 21% and 10%, I went super heavy pn the phone with youtube videos, web browsing, listening to some music, downloading apps, and facebook. screen was on the entire time.

Battery: Stock 1850 mAH
ROM: CM9 Nightly 04/30/12
CM9 seems to be getting better on the battery life to be honest. I'm actually getting through the work day and then some.

Those times are not bad at all! I thought it would be worse. I ordered a 3800 mAh battery and I'm also getting a stock with the phone. Ill put up pictures tomorrow night EST or Saturday afternoon EST.

about what you are getting. I would say it is at least a 40% improvement.
THE curious part is that up until now I had assumed that improvement was due to how JD handles the screen brightness but my screen is only using 6% < than your screen (12% v 18%).
it doesn't seem to me that the savings from the screen adds up enough to = the 40%, but hard to tell, what do you think?

Yeah it's definitely more than just the screen brightness. When I used JD on gb before I didn't like it because it would not allow my Google+ messages to get through real time, even when I enabled screen off in the options..

WOW! that's on stock??? Thats great! now im thinking i should not have bought the extended (not a fan of bulky batteries) Anything more than 10 hours for me is enough and that got you to 15. And i didnt like JD ultimate on GB either. Im about to kdz my way back to rootable firmware and then flash cm9 nightly and have a try. (accidentally applied AT&T firmware update)

^Your standards are sort of low? 10 hours??? Phone should last a day (less sleep) - 16-17 hours. I have a skyrocket, a captivate, this P930, and now a one X and the battery life is just unacceptable on the P930. Bad enough I'm gonna have to ditch it.

Well everyone is different so yeah 10 hours is good enough for me. Just need something where i dont have to plug it in when im out of the house from 7 to 5 and thats fine. i got the extended anyway so it wont be bad but yeah i would be fine with 10 hours. also, the nitro, is actually not bad. im running stock and its not as slow as people make it seem. its definitely faster than my old infuse (over clocked and optimized with custom rom). The only doubts i had was the battery thats why i got the extended and have the stock as backup. but everyone is different. if you want to ditch it then its up to you, but its a good phone.

The main reason I HAD to switch to CM9 was that the colour gradients on the screen in gingerbread were driving me crazy. GB doesn't support the 1280x720 pixels our phone pushes, but ICS does

I agree, my post came off as sort of harsh, didn't mean it do. I'm just disappointed. I liked the Nitro so much, but something is seriously wrong with the battery life. The battery is plenty big, we make sure no apps are misbehaving....but the battery life is AWFUL. Waayyyyy worse than any similar phone. It's a bummer.

ok ok, we get it.

like you have?

^No, what I have is a problem. And since you have "good" battery life, I thought maybe you can share a solution. I wonder if there's a voltage issue or something with the stock kernel. We run the same chipset as the skyrocket, right?

For those with battery issues.

Leave ICS and get back on GB.
Ive had this phone since the day it came out. Switched to ICS once the developers started dropping ICS leaks, etc.
For the past 2 weeks for some reason, Ive had nothing but HORRIBLE and i mean HORRIBLE battery life. Phone would not last me more than 4-5 hours of heavy use. I'd have to carry around my portable battery pack to charge the phone on the go. I did everything to my knowledge to try and conserve battery life. CPU tweaks, battery monitoring, tried different ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc, etc. Nothing would significantly improve battery life. I even went ahead and ordered a new battery last week to remedy this problem (which has not yet been delivered/used)
2 Days ago I flashed back to Blazer 4.0 ROM (GB).
I unplugged my phone yesterday morning at exactly 7:30am. Did not step back into my house until 530 which at that point I was at 35% and had been using my phone all day as I normally would. Web browsing, tons of texts, Used Navigation for about 2 hours, etc. I did not plug my phone to the charger until 10pm. Phone was on 19% then. Mind you, this is on the first day of the Phone being on a new ROM/GB so the battery has not yet settled/calibrated as Its only been charged Once since flashing over.
I refuse to switch back to ICS for the sole reason that battery levels have obviously improved with something as simple as switching back to GB.
Just a heads up for anyone with ICS on their E4GT having issues with battery life.

If only I got a dollar for all the times a thread like this is made.. I'd be rich. Blah blah ICS sucks yes we know... So far my phone must be a super phone because it's handling ICS well.

I agree with you, Ray. I'd also be rich for every time I've read of E4GT owners who's phones are running ICS with no problems. But then theres the bunch who also complain that they have problems. I never stated ICS sucks. At this point these phones are old by today's standards. Be glad you're one of the ones who's running ICS with no issues. I for one will stay on GB until I switch to a new carrier/new hardware sometime soon.
Just thought I'd give some feedback of my experience with battery issues on ICS in comparison to then switching back to GB.

I don't know if you've tried Blazers ICS ROM, but that thing has some AMAZING battery life. I've been running it for a few weeks now, everyday I get at least 12 hours of moderate to heavy use, without my own tweaks, and by the time I connect to charger I'm at 35%

Arguments apart
i have a few friends all on this or that ICS and none of them is happy with the backup
whatever its a fact ICS goodness never really reached E4GT, lets hope FI03 onwards some sense prevails at those losers at sammy and they push something which we can smile about.
FYI i am also on ICS Rom , still in testing phase after getting my new white beast 10 days back , already tried like 3 , each for three days
running galaxy 1.8 since yday and hoping it shapes well otherwise i ll also move back to GB

I've tried multiple ICS rooms and I've always gotten great battery life (14+ hours with 3+ hours screen on time).
The only times I've ever had battery life issues were when a certain app was the culprit and was keeping my phone from deep sleep or causing frequent wakes, which is almost always the case with poor battery life issues.
Check out an app called GSAM Battery.. it will tell you what is using up your battery in easy to read graphs and percentages. Also, check out CPU Spy to see if your phone is actually going to deep sleep mode when you turn your screen off--again, it shows you in an easy to read chart with times in each state.

I got over 30 hours last weekend with light use, but the next day, my battery would drain 5 to 10 percent per hour with no use. I have all the utilities to track what's happening, but cannot find a definitive cause. Poor reception seems to be a factor, but not the whole story.
EDIT: I just installed GSam. Thanks for the tip!

Maybe you should've posted this after receiving and using your new battery. My phone had horrible battery life after a while on ICS but it turned out that it was in fact the battery and not ICS. Got a new battery and it is back to 18 hours a day (on ICS)

Only the stock ICS rom is garbage with poor battery life and stupid stuff like grey text on black back ground. I have ran several custom ROMs and they all provided better battery life. As I have said before, I got 99 problems but battery life ain't one of them. You must be doing it wrong.

Still waiting for the new battery to arrive. I would love to try it but I'm in the midst of a heavy usage of Verizon PRL on my phone. Sprint doesn't like heavy roaming users from what I've been reading. Sprint 3G in my neighborhood here in NYC sucks Donkey nuts. I can cross the street and get 3 bars more than I have sitting on my front porch. But thats a whole other topic of discussion.
Im not sure why my phone couldnt play well with ICS but it really was horrible. I consider myself a heavy user and ICS couldnt keep up with battery demands. I tried undervolting, etc. Oh well. Been eyeing the SGS3 or the upcoming SGNote 2. Time will tell.
So far 3 days on Blazer 4.0. All my apps are restored via TB and no issues with battery like I had on ICS. Don't really know what else to say. :good:

I'm getting 24+ hours on standby time. I have gotten about 18 hours with about 3 hours of screen time. Facebook and GBA emus. I wasn't able to do this since GB. I have done this by doing one simple thing. Turning off data. I kid you not. Utilize that data toggle. I know at first you're thinking no I need data. But you don't. Unless you're some business person, then this excludes you. Wanna check Facebook?
Also, wii benefit from something else. 4G WiMax. You can turn that on even though your data is off. You still get decent battery life since 4GWiMx knows how to sleep. Also, if you're driving around, it'll pick up 4G eventually (unless you don't have it) and it'll download what it needs to download. So by time it turns loses signal, you'll have your emails. I tried this and I still got good battery life.
Using Battery Monitor Widget, I was able to see that my phone wasn't "sleeping". That's what the main problem was. That's why I wasn't able to find any rogue apps using Better Battery Stats. But I did see my phone stayed awake. Like once my phone died in 5 hours. 10 minutes screen time. 6 minutes of deep sleep. Really? That means my phone was awake for over 4 hours!? Doing what!? No app was at fault.
Extra stuff. No need to read if you felt you read enough
An app you all should check out...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...av_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNjYzcxLmJtdyJd
Battery Monitor Widget (It's not just a widget. LoL!!)
It tells you how many #mA your phone is using. So if it shows 500mA. That means your phone is using 500mA per hour. Your phone has an 1800mA battery. So that means if your phone used a constant 500mA, it would die in 3.5 hours. This is a good way to see just how much power your apps are using, or if after 10 minutes your phone is actually sleeping. My phone actually started using 2mA. I haven't seen that since GB. I thought my phone would never sleep like that again. I cried.
P.S. If you get the app, in settings -> Calibration, change the battery amount from 1500mA to 1800mA. Apparently the app thinks our battery is 1500mA. Or maybe my battery REALLY IS 1500mA. I mean, it got my Nexus 7 battery correct. I didn't have to change it. I've always wondered why BMW said I had a 1500mA battery instead of 1800mA. I may have to look into. Wii all should probably look into that.
Also, those on Blazer ICS ROM. Using BMW, I was able to see something quite interesting. My phone would use a lot of energy. Like 1000mA just to send some text messages, or scroll through my app drawer. BUT, after I stopped using my phone for about 10 minutes, I'd turn it back on and BMW would show my phone gaining #mA, or charging. This means something is causing the phone to "drain", or show drainage, when there really isn't. The fact that the phone charges back means it never really used that much energy in the 1st place. But that only happens on this ROM. Since I figured out the data thing, I'm going to try CM9 again.

Your HOX battery life experience?

I see countless comments with people complaining about battery life not being good enough in most threads, and it being affected positively/negatively by updates.
I'm aware a lot of ROMs can have a very positive effect on battery life but I am more interested in the general overview – your battery life's life if you will! The reason I ask for your experiences is that I would like to qualitatively collect a bit of information from a fair few people and see what's to be seen.
It's worth noting that my latest HOX's battery life is exceptional and I believe it's down to a simple life/career change. It's really nothing new to someone who knows their fair share about batteries however I would be interested to compare.
So, list the times you wake up, take your phone off charge, put your phone back on charge, and go to sleep. If you can it would also be nice to know what your battery percentage is at certain points. It would also be interesting to know what hours you do on an average working week and in what sort of work environment (home/architect, office/marketing, shop/clothes retail etc).
If anyone can remember the things off the top of your head, even rough estimates just chuck then in the thread. I will then compare them all to my own personal habits.

Sent from my faster than SGS3 HOX.

Personally for me ICS was 4.0.4 was perfect, after update to JB it's really bad. On ICS i was loosing 1% of my battery during whole night on JB i can even loose 10% ; d. Overall battery drains faster during usage... all stock.

Fantastic. I'm more interested in people's actual habits not stats about their battery because it only tells one half of the story. Like I mentioned this is more of a qualitative approach, so less battery stats.
I should of assumed that most people would be like more yourself so I will get straight to the point.
I have the benefit of working at home which means I can charge my phone whenever. I'm not forced to charge it over night; having it over charging for excessive amounts of time. I charge mine in the day and as a result I'm conscious when it hits 100% – I then unplug it. Other than natural degradation, I doubt I have ever damaged my battery in any way which has left me with a great battery life.
I was quite interested if most people charge their phones at night, go to sleep, unplug their phones when they wake up etc. This will severely accelerate the degradation of the battery.

well for me, ICS was bad...im using custom rom and various kernel to see which has the best battery life...all bad accept ncx 0.99....well some of the time its ok but some not...the battery percentage in ICS if not using will stay at 1% but for a 5 minute use, it will drop 10%...but amazingly, if you keep using in screen on, wifi or whatever, it will not drop that fast, well for me its ok....but now i have updated to JB still in stock, and the battery life is great.. i have watch HD movie using MX player in 2 hour and only drop 20%....when in ICS about 80%...big difference....i think stock kernel is best...

Well for me it's decent i mean yes it could be better but it's okay... heres my usage: i take it off the charge around 10 am when i wake up or so and it's off the charge till the next day morning with avarage 45-50% battery left and screan on time avarage 2:30 hours - 3 hours, sync with FB , hotmail and weather is On all the time as well is the wi-fi even when i sleep, my reception aint so great tho , around 2-3 bars top 4, 2g network, anyway my tops on the screan time would be around 6 hours with around 30% brightness idk how that guy managed to achive 6hours 20 mins on a single charge on medium brightness , could be jelly bean or maybe partitial charges ( i'm on ics btw ), anyway hox battery aint so bad as ppl may think, besides if you're lucky enough you'll get hox + battery into your hox ( 2100 ma ) which should provide avarage 6 hours + screan on time, tho i bet we could get around 8 with that battery. Hope this helps.

Ive got arhd and i got to say Im happy with my battery life, first I wasnt, when I went through a couple of charge cycles it got better and better. Now I can do 3.5 hours on screen time playing games and use it for atleast 24 hours with a mix of everything with watching videos to on the bus lol. So mines has been really good.

Battery has been pretty bad on any ROM. Now that I have ICJ421, my battery is near perfect. Yesterday I got 14h with 3h22m Screen On time.
