Evo from hell????

It always seems like there's something wrong with my evo. This morning I went to pick up my evo after it was plugged in all night (like i do every night) and it was burning hot. I looked at it and it said it was 133 degrees so i unplugged it and turned it off immediately, after it cooled down I turned it back on and it was at 70% battery after it was charging all night, so it wasn't charging at all last night even though the light was on and it was showing a green full charge when I woke up. after I turned it on it was on for about 2 minutes then automatically rebooted and then was on for another 3 min and rebooted again for no reason. my phone reboots randomly alot. this happens to me a few times a day usually 2 or 3 times. sometimes while im doing something important and sometimes when the evo is int even being used.
Does anyone have any idea what my problem might be?
My evo setup is fresh 3.3, no custom kernel. ebay 3000mah battery no case or anything like that for overheating. ive been running this setup for months (just with lower fresh builds) and have random reboots. This is the first overheating issue. The only thing thats changed is I started using a .99 ebay blackberry micro usb but ive been using that for a week and never had a charging issue. my hw v is 3

I'm thinking that maybe the battery has an issue. Have you tried with the old battery? As far as the other problems that you have, it does not look good. Try reflashing, if it does not fix it then it is likely that you need your phone replaced.

Im not sure because Ive been using this battery a long time with no problem, even now I plugged in the phone and its charging fine with no problems. If it does this again tonight maybe its the battery, I was thinking maybe it was something to do with that battery being plugged in to long.

I would say it's your aftermarket battery or BB charger. Try and use the OEM accessories.

what about the rebooting issue? this was there before the aftermarket battery and charger

As I said before, try reflashing the ROM and see how it behaves. If the problem is still there AFTER a clean install then it is hardware related, if not then, well keep the ROM

Ahh lol welcome onboard! Yes I believe it's probably the charger and not the battery. $0.99? Great deal, but be careful.

I got the same over heating issue on the stock battery a day ago. It was burning hot when I woke up, and took out the battery with the ac on blast for a minute. It wasnt plugged in, so I was surprised it happened while on the stock battery. Went to my 3000mah battery from ebay, that I have never had any problems at all with.
I was running cm6 with stock kernel. Im guessing it was a freak accident, since no reboots or any after effect from the heat.
On the positive side, I was able to push down the screen due to the heat and fix my light leakage problem

Is there a chance it might be something to do with apps ive installed?

That is precisely why you need to reflash so you can know for sure if it is a problem with the device itself or just a software glitch.

See if you have too many rotation options checked in cm settings. That made mine reboot a lot. Now just have 90 and no more issues...

I dont use CM I use fresh

The only external item left is the sdcard. Try another. If it still reboots, then return it for service/replacement. The low battery and heat and reboot can all be caused by a large amp draw. Install alogcat from market and look for messages indicating why. You could also use quicksysteminfo from market, and look at the dmsg's.

I have had a similar problem with my girlfriends Evo. Random reboots until it got to the point where it was just stuck rebooting. After reading this thread, I recognize battery heating as a symptom as well. I ended sending it in to HTC for warranty repair. It turned out to be a bad chip of some type. Having seen a number of threads regarding random rebooting, I wonder if there might not be a defective series of these chips. At any rate, the warranty process was quick and easy. No problems since I got the phone back. This was also an unrooted phone, so I think your ROMs are probably working correctly and it is more hardware issue.

you need to reflash bad.
There is nothing hardware related that is going to run you 100 cpu all the time.

OverHeating Issue

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
Sent From My "epic" SPH-D700 via XDA Premium

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

Heat

So there is this story... One day I woke up (the phone was connected to charger) and my Vision was on my roms bootscreen (it was a htc sense rom I think)... Took it in my hands and it was super hot. Extreme overheat. Even more than SGS2 when playing hardcore games I immediatly pulled the battery and waited some 30mins... In the next evening I was afraid to connect it to charger and sleep, but I made the risk. And nothing happened.
So at the night when it almost burned it was on 1ghz, what in my opinion is not a big overclock and couldn't cause such an overheat... No other things were done.
At the next day, switched to CM7...
So can this happen again? And why it happened?

Battery malfunction ? i.e. the battery itself is dying ?

Was your phone turned off/just turning on when you went to sleep or did it reboot over night?
Anyways I think, since it obviously isn't a reoccurring problem, it was probably just an app or some system service which was caught in some kind of loop or other error which leads to a very high usage of cpu cycles and therefore your phone heats up a lot. Finally Android reboots either due to a hardware trigger caused by the rising temperature or because the OS crashed.
Once the phone rebooted, android probably tried to finish whatever it was up to and got caught in a loop once again which stalled the boot up process.
I guess that this can happen again, though I don't think that this is anything you need to be concerned about, unless it becomes a frequently reoccurring problem.

Overclock should have nothing to do with it. I don't think OC to 1 GHz involves any overvolt. Plus, unless you have the minimum clock freq set to 1 GHz, it was likely clocked itself down much lower than 1 GHz while screen off and idle.
Battery may be faulty, or some runaway process, as previously suggested.

i've heard that when the phone gets hot it stops charging... i may be wrong though...
try putting it back to 800 on CM ROMS... they're lite weight... and u have heat issues... so this could be good for you

I have had this happen a few times all due to OCing. Something in the system gets stuck in a loop and it will heat up FAST. I too have pulled the bat and cooled it down then put it back with no problems. I was always OCing in the range of 1.8 or 1.9 when this happened though. I would check your radio version too. The .19 radio gave me a lot of problems. I currently run the .30 radio on my G2.
P.s. the phone has a hardware temp shut off. So if it gets too hot it will shut off. Not something you want to have happen a lot though.

[Q] xperia play heating problem

hi guys,
I have a weird problem with my Xperia Play, when I put the battery it gets very hot even when the phone is off.
Anyone got this problem before?

No mine gets hot if I teather and charge at the same time. What temperatures does it get to the battery can stand temperatures up to 60'c before damaging the battery
Sent from my R800i using XDA

actually the heat doesn't come from the battery but from the motherboard, and it gets very hot even when the phone is shutdown.

I sure that it's a hardware problem but not sure how to fix it.
Do you think that if I reflow it with a hot air gun, it fixes the problem?

if your phone is still under warnty i would get it fixed by sony erricson before you go opening it up. you dont wont to end up with a paper weight

Battery heat can be dangerous and you should remove the battery until you fix it.
I had similar problem, mine heats when i turn it on and drain battery fast (electric circuit problem).. i sent it to repair center and i advise you to do the same.

so, ... anyone got it any idea what's wrong with the phone .. WHY IS IT GETTING HOT, even though it is switched off..

I've never heard of a device getting hot when it's not even on. While charging, playing games for a while, or while overclocked, yes. While it's off, no.
Sounds like some sort of strange hardware issue to me. Time to send it in for warranty.

overheating

overheating while charging and using net is it normal for this phone in 4.3 any1 else facing this prob?

Overheating to where it stops working, or just heating up REALLY hot?

Its obvious that when you charge your phone and use it at the same time, battery is being forced to work, so thats why it gets HOT, and you could probably damage your battery if you still charge it that way.
just plug the charger and dpnt use it till its done charging.

My ZL will run very hot to the touch when running intense 3D games. I've always figured it's normal.
