EF02 and overheating.....

I am using [Odin]Stock EF02 with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.18.4 and also tried EF02Plus as well. I seem to have an issue only with EF02 with overheating. I remember it was an issue with the orginial leak of GB but now my phone will say it refuses to charge when it gets too hot. I did a check and my temp reading is at 107F. Now it is about low 90's outside today and we dont have AC as we do not want to kill the planet. Is anyone else having over heating issues? I have also tried both modems ef02 and ef10... I wounder is modem ec03 may solve this... whats your thoughts?

Try marcusiants rom on the acs site and try the ee03 modem.. that should help.

I saw this problem go away when I switched from EF02Plus and went to decadence EF02 deodexed version.

I have had this problem on every ROM I have tried since the release of froyo.. On froyo it would shut down because of the temps and cause all sorts of corruption problems. At least on gingerbread, I am not seeing the corruption, but the overheat lockup is still there and requires a battery pull... I have posted in every thread about this issue and have not seen a real fix to the solution. And I am not sure if it is just certain phones or what as it is not a huge widespread thing, but people do have it... I may try one of the other two roms listed later this week to see if I can sort out the problem...

Ran in the big sprint store that has the tech center in it, just to see what they said about the problem.. They ran some tests and an hour later, they came back and said the battery was def on the bad side of things and gave me a new one. So far my battery life has been crazy good and no heat shut downs.. I havent really tested it fully yet, but hopefully my issues were purely battery..

Good to hear you didn't hae t get your whole phone replaced.
Now you should try rc10... batteries great after calibration with ee03 modem... right now I'm at 94% and my phones been off the charger for 3.5 hours and the screens been on 30 minutes... I got 3.5 hours with screen on yesterday, and that as urin the calibration process, so today it I'll probly be better .

I agree. I use the EE03 modem on the EF02 rom and it work better in my opinion.

Replaced battery did not change anything... On the drive home, talking, same thing happened.. Granted is was like 100 degrees out and I have no ac in my truck... But yeah still shut down!! I guess I am gonna try unnamed and ee03. I guess I have to odin to ee03 correct??

Everything is in my sig plus newest version should fix any issues you have

Check this out!! Crazy! long battery life

Check out my battery life. Totally ridiculous. Here is my set up. Beast Mod 4.2 with synergy kernel. Using set CPU to under clock to 1.1. Haven't made any changes to the voltage, also I'm not using any profiles. I'm letting synergy do its own thing. The screen off time is unreal. I went to bed the other night at 9:30 with 35% left. I walked out of the house at 5am and had only lost 1%.

So..... Out of 3 days you only used your phone for 3 1/2 hrs?..
My friend.. Please enjoy your phone and recharge when it gets low or whenever you feel like it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Nice. But yeah you've got this great phone, why not actually use it even if it means charging while you sleep?

Man, even without use you get 3 days of battery?
DAMN THIS LTE RADIO.
I can't do anything more then 2 days without touching the phone more then once every few hours to check the time...
LTE RADIO, WAI U GOTTA DRAIN MAH BATTERY.

I think people are overlooking the fact that he was able to use the phone with 3 1/2 hours display on time throughout 3 days. that's freaken 72 hours... people were saying they get 2% drain every hour... you guys do the math. That's freaken amazing... sooo 68.5 hours of it... even with a few background stuff running... the phone barely drained.
if he was to use the phone throughout a single day it looks like he'll get around 5 hours of display on time maybe more.

That was the point I was trying to make. 3 1/2 screen on time is a decent amount. The screen off drain is amazing I think.

What is the version of your kernel? Is it the same as the one comes with the ROM?

Yes. Its the latest version of synergy.

Using the stock rom, i get the best battery life out of any phone i have ever had. I can use it as much as i want all day and only have to charge it at night.

Hey OP, do you think you could post your other stats? Like, wifi enabled or no, gps enabled or no, brightness, background data, auto-sync, etc? This is amazing battery life by the way

I dont keep wifi, or gps on. Backround data and auto sync are on. I keep the screen brightness 2 clicks from the bottom. Also I have alot of apps frozen thru titanium. Like facebook, twtter, samsung apps, media hub.

i say its pretty impressive coming from a thunderbolt. if i charge that phone to 100% and leave it off the charger over night im lucky to wake up with 40% left. and thats with no use of the phone at all

I just came from the Nokia n900

I just came from the Nokia n900 and having so many things working on the phone is a refreshing change! Ive lurked around and read a lot! As a result ive succesfully rooted my phone and have even tried out a few custom roms! However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set. So ive just left it off for now. can someone help?

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

oh man it was really easy compared to what i had to deal with using the n900! well for now i suppose ill just disable it. thanks!

Just disable the power saver in the my account app and use the power saver settings built into the phone, that's what I do.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.

Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!

Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this

Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

No im running at stock speeds

It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

#932# for data

Thanks. now i'm having a new problem. My phone will just randomly shut off and I cant turn it back on until I pull the battery. It has happened twice so far

is your phone hot when this happens? try darksides kernel. haven't had an issue.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.

You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.

Darkside Evolution Beta3

Is without a doubt, the best rom I've tried yet. Just wanted to give props and show off a screenshot. The only thing I've found wrong with this rom is that is so damn perfect, I feel like there's nothing more I can do to it to tweak it or improve it
Well, the only thing I would like to figure out is how to make a live wallpaper based on the screenshot below with wiggly Cthulhu tentacles! RAWR!
Well I can't post images so included a file for those interested in seeing it in action but haven't flashed this goodness yet.

It is a wonderful rom.
As far as live wallpapers, you'll need to know some coding. Google hak5 live wallpaper. They have a decent tutorial. I'm on my phone right now and can't seem to find it
Good luck

Do you even use your phone? Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage? I'm a little skeptical about that.
As for the ROM, I took a look at the changelog and most the problems I was having seem to have been fixed! Going to try beta 3 as soon as my phone is done charging.

28, but close guess. How was anything i typed egotistical? I require proof before I believe outlandish claims, probably why I'm an atheist...
edit: proof was provided but it was tainted, thus i see no reason to retract my statement.

Also having excellent battery life. Almost always connected to wifi as well.

Smoother than a baby's bottom, but I might go back to beta 2 for the battery life. I had about 12 hours clocked at 70% for beta 2. Same usage on beta 3 left me at about 80% after only 5-6 hours

[Q] terrible battery life on Frankenstein's FIFO2

anyone else having the same problem? im not using it heavily, just texting; i have 6h 37m on it and i have currently at 15%. i have SetCPU at 800mhz and brightness is less than half. everything should be fine right?
another question, are the Kobridge Super Build.prop automatically on? or how do i turn them on. (if possible provide videos on how to do so.)
yes, i acknowledge the fact that i am a noob.
thanks.

3g
also 3g doesnt seem to be working, usually on calk's 3.0 gb rom it would be 40.0kB/s now its just horrible. average 3.0kB/s. yes it do have good signal.

Don't use setcpu, act you shouldn't use any CPU app right now. I have found them to keep the phone awake more often then not.

Well the build.prop, what do you mean. And Yes I have had the same issue with data, sometimes I have to reboot before I even see 1x, so I say its either Sprint, or the modem. We will also check to see if a missing file may be causing an issue.
