i have the zedomax v3
any1 kno y is this happening?
Mine is completely stock (unrooted) and it is getting hot like this for no apparent reason.
mine only started to appear after V3. now i'm on stock + root and no problems. i also believe its giving me better battery life.
It's been a few days since these comments, but wanted to point out something I noticed today.
Last night, I turned on GPS to teach my father how to use Google Maps for navigation on my former Evo3D. I left the GPS on during the night, and it was fine.
Today, I decided not to turn off the GPS, and see how the phone fares. As usual, I turned on Spotify and I was on my way on the road. Usually, whenever I need to switch playlists, the phone is at normal temp, not even warm. Today, the phone was hot, and the battery was drained to 60% in only 30 minutes of usage. Insane! I don't know what the deal was. I did see Spotify using 32% of battery, and OS using 42%. Usually, OS uses 61%, and Spotify about 3%.
Wonder if Spotify + GPS is bad combo...
I know my phone has ALWAYS gotten hot if using GPS + navigation while charging. But this was ridiculous! (phone was NOT charging).
Anyway, was hoping Spotify was not the culprit, and that it was the GPS. But I'd hate for the GPS to do that to my phone as well...
Spotify was streaming over 3G; that might make a little difference?
Any thoughts?

When at the Chicago Blackhawks rally (outside, hot day), my phone apparently shutdown while in my pocket. I reached for it to take a photo, and realized that I could not turn the phone on. I immediately figured that I had activated some resource hogging app while in my pocket, but it seemed unlikely as the battery was mostly full last time I had looked at it. After fiddling with it for a bit, I decided to take the battery out and try to turn it back on. This worked, and the phone rebooted with almost 70% battery life left.
I ended up giving this phone to my wife as she wanted a white phone, and I went and got a red version. Yesterday, the same thing happened to the white phone again. The phone was in my wifes (black) purse, in the sun, while she was in the pool. She was unable to charge the phone or turn it on until she removed the battery.
I can only think that heat is a factor here. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this a "feature" to keep the phone from over heating? Possibly a defect? Unlike an iPhone, the MyTouch doesn't say anything about it shutting down from overheating when it reboots.
Also, I've never had a phone shut down from these relatively mild heat conditions. If it is heat related, this phone is rather temperamental in regards to over heating...
Thanks,
Danny
I has to be a defective device i work in the sun all day few days in over 95 degrees and listen to music at the same time. Never had that problem

I tried the Oxygen v2.0-RC7 rom a few days ago. Has been working relatively well with some minor bugs (like not being able to move icons without them dissapoearing). But yesterday something really odd happened and got me kinda worried.
I turned the sound off on the phone via the lockscreen, then locked the phone in my locker when i worked out. The battery was at about 80% at the time. When i came back about two hours later my phone was _REALLY_ hot and the battery was totally drained and the phone dead (ofc).
Anyone else experienced this? New user here so can't post in the official thread for the rom. What got me worried was that the phone was getting extremely hot.
There is nothing wrong with the ROM as far as battery drain is concerned. I have been running RC7 since release and with my current configuration get almost 3 days of battery usage before I need to re-charge.
I would suggest that it is more likely to be a rogue application that is constantly running in the background eating the battery.
If the phone was getting hot, I would suggest that an application is hammering the CPU (such as navigation) which would drain the battery pretty fast.
Odd thing is, I had the phone in my pocket for maybe 3 hours prior to this incident. Then it was at about 80% (remember because I checked when i turned off the sound). Then only thing I did was turn off the sound via the lockscreen. Didn't even unlock the phone at all. Then this happened.
Seems really strange. But it has only happened this once, and it is a homebuilt rom so I don't really expect everything to be perfect. Just that I've had the phone run hot before, just not this hot.
Was actually worried it had broke before i got home and put the charger in It was completely dead. Couldn't even start to boot up that you sometimes can do when the phone has died and then rested for a few mins.
could be a faulty handset, i had issues with my phone running out of battery pretty fast and after a warrenty replacement seems to have sorted it.
phone shouldnt be over heating...

Wasn't a metal locker, by any chance ? A metal locker would function as a faraday cage, meaning your phone would get at best a very weak signal, and would be using maximum power to try and communicate with the base station. Would explain why the phone was hot, too.
I left my phone on the charger all night and when I woke up it was fully charged, but really.. really, hot. I noticed I had one notification which was a text and I know the phone stopped charging, and that shouldn't be the issue. After unplugged it, reset it, and answered the text It cooled down. I had a text just a couple of minutes ago and waited a while to answer it and noticed my phone was getting slightly warmer. Since I responded Its now at a regular temperature. Is it possible my phones overheating from pending notifications? I know that question sounds dumb but this is really bugging me out. Anyone have any advice?
I running ERA Legendary Rom with GetuSum's EI22 ICS theme 2.1 if anyone wanted to know.
Did you leave any apps on plus when you charge your phone Being "ON" it heats up more than if Off

I usually power it off.. because it also charges faster. I had no apps running and even turned off the data connection. I DID however try to install the gta San Andreas app from an "undisclosed" website.. (ehmm 4shart) which was a bad idea since of course it didn't work.. I really hope im not gonna have to end up re-installing this rom and theme, since i just installed it 3 days ago.
what are a couple things that would cause over heating? maybe that can help out.. thanks
If your phone is in use while on the charger... the display being really high the normal things.... that cause overheating like leaveing it clocked at 1500mhz

True, I think my display was on, and it usually is pretty bright. I just charged it again this time while powered off and there was no overheating (woohoo!) I've had this epic for about a year and a half now so I take care of it likes it's child haha...
I appreciate the advice :thumbup:
I noticed my phone got hot when charging (phone is on when I charge) with the EI22 ROMs I used.
I recently installed the stock EL30, rooted it, and installed the Shadow kernel for EL30. Now it always stays cool. Coincidence? Maybe, but I'm happy it's always cool now.
there's possibily charging overnight will make your battery broke inside (see explanation for li ion battery on google)so it easily become overheated when used normally
My SGS 3 has started wake locking, and obviously this drains my battery like crazy. I'm still within warranty period unfortunately my screen is cracked. I take it that this would void warranty? I seriously doubt that the phones wake lock issue is related to the crack in the screen but if anyone has any ideas as to what might be causing it, input would be much appreciated.
Phone is unrooted, stock. I have not installed any apps within the past few days or even the past week. It started doing this two days ago. I noticed when I went to pick my phone up from not using it that it was often warm like I had been browsing the web or gaming. Usually after a day at school I still have 50% + left on my battery. Phone started dieing mid day friday, and ever since I only get about 4 hours of bettery life before it dies. I have tried shutting off bluetooth wifi, uninstalling various apps. Changing settings to not allow anything to access mobile data without my explicit permission. I was getting like 20+ hours before this started.
Also "Android System" is the process draining the battery. It's using anywhere from about 60-75% of my battery. Standby is down at 6%.
So my questions, am I screwed and unable to return under warranty because of crack? Does anyone know a common bug that might be causing android system to wake lock phone.
Do a factory reset. Stock ROMs love to be annoying.

Ok so I have a few questions about my Galaxy s3 i747. Ok so first off I am rooted but I'm not flashing any roms, never really felt a need to. I only rooted so I could use an ext sd card for gameloft games and also the wifi tethering.
So the first problem I am encountering is my phone will just start to die. Like I will literally just watch my battery plummet. How can I stop this?
I will wake up after charging my phone fully the night before and the battery will be at around 5%, if not dead.
This morning I noticed that I left my phone on the charger because I fell asleep and the battery was at 36% and it was extremely hot! 119.7 degrees according to the battery indicator on the phone.
Also I was using setCPU and it won't let me set my cpu to over 1026mhz anymore.
Is there anything I can do to fix any of these problems?
Thanks, TheMightyBean
p.s All these problems occurred even before root.
Defective unit or rooting did something. Search how to return to stock, reroot and go from there.
