Is there a reason why ics rooms run hot under the same conditions as gb roms?

Mines never run hot on either GB or ICS.
That doesn't help mine obviously can't b the only one. Its happening while charging via car charger and watching a video

Just giving you a little feedback about my phone.
Which roms have you tried? This is a pretty generic statement, without more info I doubt you will get a very constructive answer.

im running cm9 alpha 4 and while on the charger last night i got call and answered it, it damn near burned my ear off.
threw on my clarus widget and that ***** was running at 111 degrees.
Ya mine was running so hot today it wouldn't charge on my car charger (in an a/c'd car) had it on there for 3hrs and it didn't charge past 40% restored back to caulks gb (barely had 8% battery left after restore) and in an hr I was at 90% and the phone was at room temperature.

This happens to me from time to time, usually when using large amounts of data in poor signal areas.
GPS and the car charger usually makes for a hotter than normal device as well. This was true on my evo, tp2 and tp also.

Mine has ran hot on every ICS rom. I havent used any akop or cm9 roms. Mine does it every now and again and all I do is reboot leave it alone for a couple minutes and its back to normal. I haven't ssen a rhyme or reason to when mine runs hot other than when its on and off of a charger. I have changed several things and nothing seems to help. My screen also get hot sometimes but it has been like this now ever since I started using ICS roms 6 or 8 months ago.
Car charger Vs. AC charger
Could part of your problem also be that since the car charger is set on a 12VDC input, but most cars while running are at 13-14VDC, could be pushing a high voltage to your battery than the AC charger? Don't know if that helps just some input. Mine runs hotter (99* F) when I'm charging in the car. 80* F when I'm charging with my AC charger. (My car's voltage while its running is 13.5VDC) I'm running stock ROM with Rogue_ET-1.5.0+ kernel, OC/UV @ 1400 MHz step.

Normal charging voltage for a vehicle is around14 volts. When your engine its off you will see 12.6 volts. Typical cell battery is around 3 volts. Your car charger is designed to reduce that voltage to the proper level. They are designed to handle those fluctuations. I use a oem Motorola charger I got for6 bucks on Amazon. I dont have nearly as many issues as I did with the generic charger I had before. You get what you pay for
Been doing electrical work for over a decade and rebuilt alternators for 3. So trust me when I say I know what I am talking about.

Download Tegrak and try to undervolt your CPU.
CPU gets overworked for many reasons, poor signal, lots of data, many processes, etc.
Overheated CPU overheats battery then battery charging turns itself off.
When I was with AT$T (note my sig), they throttled my data. To them they were just slowing me down. For me, it basically made my phone a brick during the throttled periods because it overworked the processor trying to pull a bowling ball through a garden hose. I made them waive my EFTs because I showed then they were physically damaging my phone with their "new" policy. Sorry for the rant...

I belive you. Lol. Im work on generators and hvac sysytems. Good to knpw though about the chargers.
Oh just found this out. My wife has a cheap charger we have had for years. It just started flaking out on her. If the voltage to the phone gets too high the phone will beep and come up with a warning about the voltage being to high and charging will stop. So your charger definitely is not directly causing the hot battery

My phone is only 3 days old.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
My phone's been doing that since the first day I got it. I wouldn't worry.
Just want to add something
The second you stop charging the phone starts using the battery. Even after one nano second it isn't 100% anymore. It might be 99.99999 but it isn't 100%. So, it isn't a problem, it is a feature. The gauge truly works.
oh oh oh! pick me!
i have some knowledge from my evo to bring to these forums! finally!
on my OG htc evo 4g, HTC built something called SBC (Superior Battery Charging) into their kernel. when my evo would get to 100%, charging would shut off. this is designed to prevent over charging and ''thermal runaway'' leading to bloating, overheating, and death of a LI-ION battery. my battery would drop from 100% to 93% in less than five minutes, operating normally the rest of the day. similarly, ive noticed this type of behavior on my E4GT. the difference being, if developed/programmed right, is that charging can be turned back on once it drops below a certain percentage (done on my evo 3d). thus, you can never have 100%, since it will immediately drop once no longer connected.
yay knowledge!
if you find my explanation too long/confusing, it all operates on FMS (****in magical ****)
Got my phone December 19th, and it does this as well. Makes total since though, Once you use even the SLIGHTEST amount of battery, you're no longer at 100%. Im coming from an Evo 4G as well, and ran SBC kernels. Totally agree with the post above me!

HTC kernel did not have SBC, or even built it. Only a few custom kernels had sbc support.
I think it has more to do with the rather unique Maxim chipset fuel gauge on Galaxy S2 phones than anything else.

When I have my phone plugged in and am tethering 2 worrying things happen.
A. The phone drains battery VERY VERY quickly, (yes even when plugged in). Quickly I mean like 20-30 percent in half an hour.
B. The phone starts to get very very hot. So hot that when I turn it off, it does not let me charge and instead the overheating icon flashes. If I leave it on, the screen and the capacitive touch buttons start to flash erratically and the back gets even hotter.
This kind of frightens me, is it happening to anybody else? If so can you please post. Also I am using Blazer ROM 3.8 if that makes a difference. Please reply thanks!
How are you tethering? Through usb or wireless hotspot? Are you tethered while on 3G or 4G? How is your signal while tethered? All these things are relevent so answer these these questions so we can offer you some advice.

Mine overheats when using Netflix over 4G and charging. I run my phone stock and really clean with nothing extra running. Sometimes I get an image freeze and a short sound loop and I have to force shut down. But usually it just tells me that it isn't charging anymore due to the battery being too hot. The battery is always cold, but the phone is hot.
The phone runs hot. Wot wah.
I'm on 3.8 (the first version) I got really confused when he released another one the same day? I have nothing else running and I have not touched any CPU settings, so I'll just have to conclude the phone runs hot. Can this permanently damage the phone? If so what can I do to prevent that. Thanks again for the replies!

Heat is the phone's worst enemy. I love PH and his work but you gotta stay away from heat. It shortens the life span of your phone.

Yeah get off 3.8 as soon as you can, when I did the problems you mentioned went away. BTW I'm on his latest 3.9 and it is far superior in every way...3.8 didn't like our phones too much!

i've definitely had this same exact problem.. Phone/Battery heats up (>40C) and drains quickly with 4g and wifi tethering active. I think overheating the battery like this will shorten the life of the battery in the long run.
Maybe tethering over usb is the solution. fwiw my evo used to tether 4g without this issue. im using blazer 3.9 (upgraded from 3.7, wasnt ever on 3.8) stock clocks/kernel.
Hot LIPOs are less efficient in their discharging and will drain more amp-hours than if they were cold and doing the same things. Running them hot will also shorten their life, correct.
If you battery runs hot, swap it for a cold one* and wait until your battery is cold to charge it off a wall charger or something. These low C rated batteries we use don't really get toasty from just charging, but you are wasting energy trying to charge a hot battery over a cold battery.
*Beer does not supply the minimum 3.7v
This is gonna sound super ghetto, but it's what I do and it works. When your are running your tether, have the phone plugged in, take an ice pack and a couple paper towels. Put the paper towels on top of the ice pack and your phone on top of that and you're golden for about an hour. Keeps it at a nice 25°c

sounds like it would work... but there has to be a better way. I tether at work a lot (to get around pages i use like netflix/facebook and whatnot being blocked) what i've been doing is limiting my tethering based on how warm the phone is, when it heats up past 40 i give it a rest (and get back to work).
Helping me find a lasting fix to this problem will allow me to be less productive, and hopefully extend the life of my s2.
I have been meaning to make a thread on this. It happens when tethering only, that the phone overheats.
The reason being is the power management for tether I think got bonkered with the addition of 4g tether. Something is not optimized. The battery level literally deplete 10% within minutes
I've overheated to the point where my vibration motor makes noise, and got corrupt data twice. So now I have to tether with a glass of ice on my phone, ice pack would be better.
I appreciate the tether, but the trade off is ridiculous.

See, this is weird... I've been wondering why my phone DOESN'T heat up appreciably while tethering, w or without 4g. My og epic always would for sure. I do the same type of browsing on tether with this phone (not super intense, just browsing, but it always heated up the og epic) and the phone stays cool to the touch, or maybe just barely perceptibly warmer. Not even enough to make me check batt temp.
I'm running stock rooted, using sprint hotspot hack. No overclock. FWIW.

I would just take the back off the phone and have a small fan blow into it. Also I heard underclocking to 800 MHz while tethering will keep your phone cooler.
Thanks for the amazing replies people! I recently switched onto 3.9 and to calibrate my battery I charged to 100% and tethered on 4G for about 2 hours no problem. So I suppose it was just some problem with 3.8 then?
Ditto
Same thing happens to me but from daily use. I'm on the web a lot. I'm rooted but running stock rom. It's been really bad the last few days, especially after I changed the 4G idle speed. So that may be one issue for me. Oh well
I experienced the same problem , but I think it's due to tethering as the CPU is processing and forwarding more traffic . I fixed this by limiting the tethering download speed . I used an app called bandwidth ruler for that . and my samsung SIII is relaxed while tethering
APP:
Bandwidth ruler free on goolge Store

I've notice while flashing carbon, dirty unicorns, and pa among other aosp ROMs
That charging seemed to be slow for me. So I wanted to investigate..
I grabbed an apk called galaxy charger light https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
And when I refreshed it while plugged in to the wall charger, it said the max was 400. That's like USB currents. So I used devil kernel, and inside the latest devil tools, there is a charging control tab. I changed the options like I have here in this screenshot.
Then when testing my current with that galaxy charging app, it now says my current is 2000. And my phone is charging super fast now like it used to. ...And I thought my cable was bad lol.
so if you're charging is slow, try that app out and test it and see what your current is... if its 1800 or 2000 then that's good, if its 400 or similar, then you're charging very slow.
Also, I'm charging at 1500 through USB when it used to be only 475. Kind of like 'fast charge'
****But be careful. I've only tested this out for a couple days. So far no problems but change the charging control in devil tools at your own risk.****
please close this mods
and only change the USB control if needed. (I've heard something about "fast charge" messes up USB ports on pcs when charging that high but idk if that's true or not. I've only read that once and I forgot my sources)
You want the 'max' to be around 2000.
Before this devil kernel tweak, I had a max of 500 within the galaxy charging app. This was on stock carbon and dirty unicorns. Now my max is 2000 and its definitely noticeable. now my phone even charges while playing a graphic intensive game.
after doing some reading, this may be just too dangerous and damaging to the battery that its not worth it. please check the link by saboture and this shouldnt really be needed. i guess tw doesnt charge at 2000 constantly either so it cant be good. was def only trying to help but i dont want to steer ppl in the wrong direction.

Hope this helps somebody that has slow charging problems. I know I did and it has helped so much.
Thank you, -cue
EDIT: this may be an isolated incident for me. anyway, you can check your max current with the aforementioned app and see if its happening to you before any changes need to be made.

Define "originally"
For who knows what reason, the Note 2 and other Sammy device ship with a 2000mAh 5V rated charger brick...but the TWiz software gimps the charger by throttling it way back to only 500mAh. Which is just downright stupid moronic. People on Note3 are amazed by how fast it charges, because Sammy has removed the software limiter in the stock ROM, and now the 2A charger actually charges closer to something resembling the charger rating.
As far as wearing out your battery, all rechargeable batteries wear out after a certain number of charge/discharge cycles. So long as heat doesn't become to high it isn't a worry. I've been using 1200mAh+ saoftware charging since kernels came out that allowed it. Still on my original battery.
Now regarding slow charging, another culprit that can do this is a crapped out USB cable. Try a different known good USB cable.

well i thought it charged at 1800-2000 originally on TW Stock. but testing now, its fluctuates around 400 to 700 on stock tw. but 1686 is the 'max' listed on that app. my 4.3 aosp roms were just staying at 400 and 400 was max prior to me using this tweak through the kernel. but is was very noticeable that i was charging slower than normal. will try a new cable today. thanks for your input.

Hello,
I bought a gently used N900T a few days ago. The device is awesome and works perfectly, except for one thing. Charging the phone with the Samsung charging cable+ac adapter takes longer than forever. It charges at a rate of approximately 8-9% per hour.
A few notes:
Device on, device off, it doesn't matter. It charges at the same slow rate.
The battery itself, once it charges, holds that charge very well.
The slow charging happened both when I was on the stock rom and on my current Slim Rom.
I have ordered a new charger and a new battery. If the slow charging persists with these new accessories, am I doomed? Is the slow charging a known issue for the Note 3? Besides the new equipment, does anyone have any advice on how to solve this?
Thanks so much!

So this has been doing it from day one. On your white wall charger how many amps does it say.
TWEAKED N3
It is a genuine Note 3 2 amp charger.
Lol damn 8% an hour? Sounds like mine kinda except it charges like 20% an hour it used to charge so slow. The ROM I'm running took some stabilising

Well I have to be honest from dead it takes about 2.5hrs to get back to 100. On stock.using the wall charger with 2amps. When he gets his new charger he should be good or a good kernel swap. Either way it should come back to normal

I got a new charger and it's still charging at the same slow pace. What could possibly be wrong with my phone? The battery holds a charge, the phone works near flawlessly. I'm dumbfounded.

You gonna have to do testing or replace phone. Me I would change kernel just cause it takes 2 seconds. Let it ride a day if no change then a factory refresh. You have checked that no app is killing phone as fast as it charges right?

Edit. I was just on his thread and a few guys having issues with either bad batter. UV/ oc .try a different ROM and kernel. Fresh install meaning Odin back to stock and start all over. Sorry good luck
As weird as this sounds, I tried the charger in a different outlet in my home and it works a lot better. The battery charges quite fast from any level to about 96%, then starts crawling again to 97, 98 and stops at 98. I opened battery calibration, which shows the battery at 96% and 4337mv, which is the same mv level as 100% normally if memory serves me correctly. So I'm thinking the battery is "full", but for some reason won't go to 100% without a fight. Perhaps if I clear my cache+dalvik cache? Any other suggestions?

What was wrong with mine it was the charger. The usb wasn't connected all the way in the AC therefore was only charging like it would through computer as soon as I fixed it with a blow of air and a gentle push it right away started charging AC phone charged in 2 hours
I could be wrong but I noticed my charging is slower when I stick my charger into a surge protector power bar as opposed to a standard wall outlet.
Mine was the charging cable I used a regular USB charger cable and it charge fast

Some complaints about the replaced Note 7 which have safe batteries, in South Korea.

Tnx!
Battery-gate has everyone paranoid.
This sounds like BS. When Samsung investigated 90+ cases of exploding batteries, it found that 26 reported cases were fraudulent scams - this was in the news today.
It sounds like the same ****.

This.
I would believe the below from the article before I'd believe Samsung's stupid enough to make the same or similar mistake twice. I was worried about QC on the replacements considering how fast they're racing down the production line. Mine's perfect BTW. Any articles about Samsung because of what's happened is guaranteed click-bait. A Note 2 overheating on a plane made front page news with whatever (still to be determined) happened to it being tied back to the Note7 issue.
"The issues being reported in South Korea are related to minor errors with the mass production of the new units."
I m not seeing anything near this. in fact my SD820 device runs better than the original did

Mine seems too also but I thought it was all in my head. It seems smoother and snappier for want of better words. My old phone would occasionally get choppy and stutter as if it was struggling with something in the background. The new one doesn't. It's on AT&T and the new phone's shipping s/w was the same as the old phone's updated s/w. Curious.
My s7 edge and note 7 (both exploding and non-exploding versions) have always had times where they charge slower than they discharge. (Waze + Pandora when it is super sunny, so 100% brightness. Even on QC2.0.)
The new note7 (and/or new firmware) pops up a warning to say as much. The S7E had an overheat warning that came up occasionally in similar conditions (even air-conditioned, DC summer is warm..)
I think the only difference is the notification that its happening, which is nicer than discovering after a drive that you have been losing power the whole time.
I'm experiencing the very slow charging issue. In fact when I was watching a movie while fast charging it was losing charge!?

I have experimented the same thing, actually ending with less batt while using and charging with other devices, so, this happening with the note 7 indicates nothing wrong with the batt
Customers in South Korea who received a replacement device have reportedly complained the phone's battery is overheating and drains too quickly after use, according to a report by YTN, a TV network in the country.

Fast charging does not seem to want to work on my new one, with stock charger brick and cable. I am hoping I don't have to go BACK to TMo and get another new phone.
my replacement seems identical to my original, same charge speed, same discharge speed.
as for the people saying about watching movies and such and the battery ending up lower, that is normal, if you are running the screen and charging not only does the battery get warm, so does the CPU so the phone will start to throttle the charging. I've had phones in the past that refused to charge once the CPU got above a certain temperature. this is just people being paranoid or looking for a way to get money as mentioned above with the fake tales of exploding batteries.

Odd. I use my Note7 (pre and post replacement) with Android Auto via USB. Android Auto really puts a load on the phone. Even off the wimpy output from my car's USB port the phone never loses charge and frequently gains it. My previous Note5 was the opposite. It would stay even most of the time but would lose charge on occasion. The only difference between the two scenarios is I got a Orange-E 12" Type C USB cable to use with my Note7. So my experience is different than yours.
I suspect the screen is the big drain. 100% brightness is vicious. Isn't the screen off for android auto?
Things it's usually doing when it drains (starting from 70% or so) :
Overheating (direct sun, no ac pointed at dash or top/doors off)
BT music streaming + wear
GPS
100% brightness
QC2 (aukey car charger)
Even without overheating that combo usually only gains me about 5% over 30 minutes.
Unrelated, but without getting too far off topic is AA worth the jump? (~900USD if I want my steering wheel controls and stuff)

Yep. When in use and the display is on its black with the Android Auto logo. But the phone's still using all its radios and if navigating pushing data to an 8" display so the phone's definitely under load. I have a Samsung Fast Charge car adapter but the problem with Android Auto is it doesn't let you connect by BT so the car's USB power output is all you get. But as a comparison under the exact same conditions the Note7 definitely either drains less or gets more power than my previous Note5 and both phones are/were configured identically.

A black screen with amoled means the only pixels lighting up are the ones in use. The screen itself is a massive drain so the more pixels are lit up, the more the juice is drained from the battery. That's why AOD doesn't kill the battery fast.

Ive used a USB multimeter on both my old and new note7.
No matter what, old or new note7, the charging rate gets cut exactly in half when charging with the screen on. This happens when using a quickcharger or a normal 2.4a 5v charger.
So if you want full speed charging the screen needs to be OFF.

On my replacement Note 7 I noticed that if you are doing allot with the phone, it still gets hot, the battery does take a little longer to charge with both the Samsung charger that came with the phone and an Anker IQ 2.0 / 3.0 charger. The phone does seem a little snappier/faster though.
I just want a removable battery to end all this bull * and I will pick the battery I want to power my phone.

The biggest advantage for the integrated battery is that the unit is completely sealed from water.

I beg to differ, because they have that wireless backpac battery that is completely sealed from water for the Note 7. The purpose of the permanently installed battery is for the NSA to track people since the battery cannot be removed from the phone.
