Yup I just wrote about this in a separate thread...you have to wait until the phone cools down before you can raise it back up to 100%!!!...Has you phone ever overheated to the point that you can almost burn yourself? I've hit temp as high as 121º!!!

Can I ask what you are doing if anything to cause the temp to get so high? I have to admit I haven't been doing much calling or texting lately but do stream internet radio in the car and its alittle warm but nothing like this.
on the droid charge I believe if it gets too hot you can't charge it either, so I'd expect this to be the same.

As far as I know you have to be rooted but I have both SetCPU and CPUMaster, which is free on the Market

2x it was only charging, but both times i left the display on, but still that should matter, I should be able to leave it on all day and not EVER get past 105º at most!!! and the 3rd time I think I was playing NOVA 2, and when I got out of it, went back to my homescreen, left the phone and after about 2/3minutes it was blazing hot!
system panel displays temp too, probably battery monitor widget as well

It just did the same thing to me while watching netflix. It also won't charge now.
So basically if you are doing something too intensive that requires to be plugged in, it gets hot, discharges, and wont charge until you stop doing your task ...what the he'll Samsung

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?
Nabbu eats your face.
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
After leaving the house this morning, I was listening to some music. An hour after leaving I see that my notification led has illuminated red. Now I have no notifications and I've tried a battery pull. What I noticed is when removing the battery the light shuts off but as soon as the battery is replaced it lights back up without the need to power on the phone. The phone still works all fine and dandy however.
As for the light its a bright red and sometime dims to a very faint light but never shuts off.

Yes. CNA.
I reflashed to stock but the light stayed on even while I was flashing and after formatting.
If you're still seeing the red LED during and after a flash you're probably looking at a hardware issue. I'd give Samsung a call to see what they have to say. Even if it's not something they will take for warranty repair, they may be able to get you some relevant information.

Good to hear. Hopefully that will be the end of it. So you didn't notice any actual performance problems? I wonder if there might be a short circuit in the LED?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Did the issue return afterwards?
I have a similar issue, only when i turn the device off the red notification light disappears. And then, when i turn the device on it usually doesn't come back immediately.
But, im getting this red notification light on a daily basis and can't seem to find what it means. Like on your device, everything works fine with no performance issues whatsoever. Also, i'm running stock-rooted Jelly Bean 4.1.2, but the issue started before rooting the device and on 4.1.1. I don't get any notifications on the notification bar, i can't find any app that uses the LED with that color. I don't use any LED control app.
it's annoying, and theres no information at all about this issue.. I already E-mailed Samsung a couple of days ago and didn't get a response from them yet.
I've seen this happen a few times before, after the phone has been exposed to moisture. A good example is when you leave the phone in the bathroom during or after taking a shower...

Well, the phone might has been exposed to small amounts of moisture (it took me really long time trying to remember if it has). What can you suggest doing about it? Close it, take out the battery and put it in a bag of rise for a few days? :/ it's been two weeks since then..
If it is moisture, it will probably clear up on its own. The bag of rice trick may help, if you don't mind going without your phone for a few days...

My biggest concern is corrosion. If it builds up it can really mess the circuits up.
I'll try the bag of rise thing and update what's the result..
Thanks for your help!
Mine is the same... Except green.
When power is off... Stays green... Factory reset and still the same... Stock, rooted, unlocked
Any ideas?

Agent: They would file the service request for your phone and you can send the device to Samsung service center to get it inspected and repaired by certified technician.
Agent: I would be happy to provide you with the contact details of Samsung Voice support team.

Agent: Your device would have 1 year warranty from the date of purchase. Please contact the Voice support team and they would assist you and provide the required information.
Just covering the bases... Seems it doesnt mean water specifically but def something they didnt program as an indicator for water damage... Thats what i was curious about

I have just installed Charging LED for Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store. It works perfectly, no complaints, but I have a doubt.
If the LED of the phone is on constantly for hours, is there a threat of it getting damaged or some other side effects taking place?
I wanna use this app, but I'm a bit scared about the hardware side effects it MAY have.
Kindly enlighten me on this topic.
Thanks.
I don't think so.
i had it on my motorola defy and and now on Gnex and it works fine on both.
i use light flow(the best one for our phone)

Well thanks for the suggestion. I don't think Light Flow has the charging light option. The app I have mentioned keeps the LED light on (not just blinking) for all the time the phone is being charged.

Yeah if you are charging then battery life wouldn't be a problem. I have never heard of any negative side effects to using a LED app. Go for it, it will be grand

Yes, even I have never ever had any issues with LED apps, but this one is different. It will be ON constantly, not just blinking. And it will be ON for hours at a stretch, with just makes me a little worried.
Can the color leave a permanent mark, similar to some pixels that sometime get stuck to the screen?

Not sure about permanent mark but here is some info on life expectancy

Well that's good and bad too. Some LEDs may last just a year is what it says, so that's dangerous!

Just so you know light flow has options for low battery, charging battery, and charged battery. You can set it to always stay on instead of blinking also.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
LED's don't get stuck on or anything negative if left on for hours. The only downside is LED's are rated for a certain number of hours. Being constantly on will use those hours up significantly faster than just blinking. On the upside, LED's are usually rated for 25,000, 50,000 and even up to 100,000 hours. So even if you charge your phone for 8 hours a day you have quite a few years of use.

Try downloading a video designed to free up pixels that are otherwise dead.
They're normally a few minutes long and alternate between bright red, green and blue at different intervals.
