When i got home, i went to my room as usually and put the phone on my desk. It was with the screen on because i was using it and then instead of putting him on the desk i let him fall from a height of about 2/3 cm on top of my wallet (nothing dangerous), and then i watched the screen begins to fade slowly and then the phone restarted.
I was like wtf? And after that, i did it again and the same thing happened.
Arc S.
Put paper between battery and battery cover and try it again, that should fix it.
I had the same thing with screen going off from left to right on 2.3.3 .146 firmware but exactly after 90h uptime. Not caused by dropping it.

That's how the phone reacts when it can't handle undervolt or/and overclock. Same as the WLOD (White Led Of Death) situation with the X10.
So, are you on custom kernel?

Well, mine had it with stock kernel.

A relative of mine also owns a G2 but recently they experienced a weird issue. They just picked up the phone just to see that the screen went bad. Wasn't in the process of flashing anything. The phone ran CM7.0.2 for the longest time. It was all black with a white line running across the screen and the capacitive buttons are stilll lit. After a week or so, the white line disappeared and its just a black screen now.
There's no water damage as it went nowhere near water and the water damage indicator is still white. Could the screen be broken? A loose connector? Any help?

I don't know much about the g2 but try and enter the bootloaders. If they come up then its programming. Something like that happened to my hd2 cuz a bad flash.
If they don't then its prob the screen.

You think just ordering a new screen from Amazon or eBay and replacing it will do trick? And yeah I just thought about bootloader as I wrote the question.

if it ran a long time i would guess a hardware failure (if it doesnt even show up bootloader)
so you need to replace the display.
does the display even initialize when powering up the phone?
when switching the phone on you see its "switching" from black to dark gray (lighter black as it is when powered off)
cause if it doesnt even get power, it could be something on the phone too which doesnt give (enough?) power to the display...
Yeah. but I'd take it apart if u know how just to check

Try to connect with adb just to make sure your phone is still working before you spend money on a screen. Unless it rings when you call it or something.

My wife's Epic 4G was working fine yesterday but today it crashed and overheated pretty severely. When it was still plugged in and crashing it showed the battery charging and then it turned yellow and show a yellow warning triangle with a thermometer beside it, is the phone going to stop working on us?
I would appreciate a quick response so I can take it to Sprint and see what they can do about it.
I just factory reset it to insure that it wasn't a rogue application or what not and the phone is still running slow, not as bad as when it was crashing, but it still works so I don't know what's going on with it.
Also the phone is stock and has always been stock without root or any other type of hacking, etc.
It just stooped working perfectly one minute.
She showed me that the screen was blinking rapidly in an up and down bar fashion on the home screen and during applications.
First of all how old is the phone. My phone runs games hot all the time and never crashes (well sometimes, but usually when im not even doing anything with it).
I would think that the video is going out on it and it is rebooting. Depending on the age I think your phone is dead dude.

Not a year yet, it'll be a year old in June or July. I'm hoping it was just a virus or something because its working now. Should I exchange it anyway?

Try flashing it back to stock or wipe the data if it isn't already rooted. I've never heard of anything of this sort... need some screenshots or something.

I already factory reset it and it's running right now as if it were just fine but what I'm wondering is if it's going to happen again and not work afterwards.
I'm thinking about taking it in to Sprint and exchanging it but I'm afraid there might be fees for exchanging or what not. The phone has been dropped multiple times but it never had any issues before.
The drop distance has been less then 2 feet every time.
No water damage to the phone itself but the Sprint tech said the battery's "water damage" indicator was activated and showing water damage.
The phone HAS been in the bathroom during multiple showers which might be the cause for the battery's damage indicator to go off but the phone, like I said, has never had any issues.
She downloads pretty much everything from the Market so I was suspecting viruses or malware and now it's "clean" it's running fine.
Any suggestions for where I should go from here?
The phone should be fine. This has happened to me a few times.... if your phone gets extremely hot it will refuse to charge as a safety feature and show that yellow triangle thing... open the back of the phone take the battery out and let it cool down.

Happened to me my battery got near 118*F so I took it out and let it cool on some aluminum and put it back in was fine
BTW you can't take a screenie because phone shuts it self off
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm guessing that the overheating problem had to do with a buggy app that was running on the phone and took lots of data or cpu time. This has also been know to happen when running wifi hotspot apps.
Regardless, like everyone else said the phone went into thermal protection mode. The battery got hot and it wouldn't charge the battery until it cooled down.
Could be the screen being on and maybe running a governor such as "performance"? Also, I've left my phone under a pillow charging, woke up it was 110F and I haven't had this problem it mustve been really hot

THIS! ^^^ Without looking at your phone, I'm guessing this was the culprit. She had a buggy/defunct app that was probably frozen in the background while still sucking CPU/RAM. I've had a few of those instances and it DEFINITELY increases the temperature of the phone.
Only other thing I can think of is if she runs her phone at the brightest setting and has a long timeout on the screen timeout. Either way, I think it's nothing a little spring cleaning of the apps and tweaking couldn't take care of. Good luck buddy
I'm hoping you all might be able to help me. I am having overheating problems with my new Nexus. I have found that any time I have my Nexus charging in my car and my navigation running such that the screen is on, within 10 minutes the battery starts to overheat and the phone stops charging. Through testing and trial & error, here is what I have found.
1. If the phone is charging while using navigation and the screen is on, it will overheat such that it stops charging.
2. If the phone is charging while using navigation and the screen is off, it will NOT overheat.
3. The first two are true whether other radios are turned on (wifi, bluetooth, etc) or not, doesn't matter.
4. If the phone is just charging it is fine.
5. Switching ROMs doesn't help.
6. Also happens with the stock battery and the Seidio extended battery.
7. Happens whether I have the screen brightness on the highest setting or the lowest.
Basically, what I it has come down to, I can't use navigation with the screen on.....which kind of defeats the purpose.
Has anyone else had similar issues?
I am currently running Are-You-Jellin-M1
Reported to be moved to Q&A where this should have been.
Onto the question. Seems like navigation is a really CPU and GPS intensive activity so I would say keep it off the charger.... just doing normal things this phone will heat up and I'm in WiFi. And being on 3G that thing will cook your hand. Only thing I would say is keep it off the charger... and change the timeout for the screen which usually navigation will keep the screen on.

Sure, but the phone is such a battery hog that you go anywhere and then you are without a phone. Then, how do you navigate back.... Navigation is one of the biggest reasons I have a smart phone. I find it absurd that this phone can't use one of it's most important features while charging.
Take your phone back to stock and do the same thing you were doing to overheat your phone. If it still gets REALLY HOT you might need to take your phone in for an exchange. My first nexus had a heating issue and I had to exchange it. It will get warm when using GPS but not so hot your phone acts up. You might also try using a different kernal with hour ROM as well.

You do realize these are dual cores... more cores... more heat. You could possibly have an issue ... and its not a battery hog... had to use Nav this last weekend and it did great. Only lost around ±20% which is not bad using 3G and listening to music with it as well. However I use custom kernels which are undervolted far more than the stock KERNEL.

Just do a warranty exchange in your carriers store. I use GPS all the time while charging and it doesn't heat up. Best advice I can give you. I'm on the same ROM as you also.

What was the temperature outside? Also is your phone in direct sunlight?
The Chicago region has been getting 95°F+ temps, and just from my drive home to work with the A/C on, I have to put my phone in my lunch cooler so it will charge.
You're phone, just sitting idle in direct sunlight on a 90°F day, will heat up your battery past it's 49°C overheat condition within 5 minutes.

Relative temps outside have been cool. I tried on my way into work this morning with a different rom and the temp outside was 75 max and there wasn't any sunlight hitting the phone.
I even tried blasting the air by holding the phone up to the vent and it didn't help. The only way I have found it to cool back down is to turn off the screen.

Boot Loader solving my over heating problem
I was getting some crazy over heating issues especially when I would try
to do a backup using TWRP recovery my screen would even turn odd colors.
I am running a JB CM10 rom and I have been using the ICS boot loader because it
didn't seem to be causing me much problems. I recently decided to change my
boot loader and all of my over heating issues have gone away.
My Galaxy Sii X rocks but one thing is driving me crazy!
I use my phone as my alarm clock so its on the night-stand and I charge it every night. I plug it in to charge, hit the screen button on the side to go into Sleep mode, turn off all sync with my emails and everything is good.
HOWEVER, once the phone hits 100% full charge the screen comes on, stays on and very annoying as it not only lights up the room and wakes me up but also I am scared that if left on it will burn the image onto the screen.
I am running with Telus as my provider. Samsung Galaxy Sii X model SGH-T989D
Android version: 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich Kernal: 3.0.8
I have checked my settings and not sure if I am overlooking something or what. Pls help!

My brother's lg optimus does the same thing. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly what it is but run a logcat -c before you go to bed with it plugged in. And then when you see the screen is on, run logcat -d and post results. That should tell us what's happening during the night.

OK - stupid ques but how do I do that? I am still somewhat of a rookie at this whole Android thing.
Just reach over and turn the screen back off... does it stay off after that?
I've also read that a battery pull has solved this for some. It could also be a specific app you have.. for example the screen lights up when charged but another app is stopping it from turning back off..
Also it could be the charger if its not the one for the phone.

A few weeks ago in las Vegas I noticed that my phones screen was not turning on after being out in the heat.
I rebooted etc etc but the real problem was just that the phone itself was awake and running, but pressing the power button would light up the capacitive buttons but no screen.
I could even swipe to open the phone and feel the vibration of it opening, answer calls by guessing and swiping etc.
The phone would be fine after it cooled down.
Now I'm back in a normal weather city and it's still happening.
Even just being in my pocket... It needs to be cooled down a little or no screen.
Doesn't seem like it matters but;

Try flashing a different ROM, see if it happens in the bootloader or recovery... I'm thinking hardware issue, if those don't fix it then it definitely is.

thanks, i will try it.
I had the kang versiion of CM9 but it was a giant fail on my device. Maybe because I did not flash a new kernel, but regardless it just did not work well.
I may try and go stock, just to see what happens, and if I can stomach sense anymore.
Hardware issue!
I had this happen to a different phone of mine. The heat actually started to make the glue holding the screen and connectors in melt away, so the screen kept going in and out. The screen and touch digitilizer are different. You may still feel feedback but the screen just isnt powering on! Try opening your phone and looking inside to see if the connections are still nice and tight. Usually its like a ribbon cable sort of thing holding everything in place.

Awesome! I installed paranoid android and aside from a few errors its been slightly better.
I think though that I will get a service manual somewhere online and take it apart and try and clean it out.
Most electronics I've owned in las Vegas have had overheating issues so I am not surpised this happened to the phone as well
