Overheating restarts problems - HTC One X

My One X (international version) face overheating which leads to restart
here is the common situation, I use my phone for watching videos, playing a game or web browsing, then I put the phone into my poket, after 10 minutes or so, I feel the vibration and finding that the mobile is restarting and it is hot in the back upper area (around camera lens)
that was happening due to some heavy gaming, but now even for the smallest tasks (viewing some pics for half hour), and in my pocket the restart, which could happen twice a day or so
I was using a leather cover and afterward did not use it, thinking it might keep the mobile from releasing its temperature
is that ordinary? I like HTC since My desire but now I think of selling it, lose some money and Buy SIII (I'm not big fan of Samsung though)
I'm on the stock OS not rooted

any thoughts?

Are you using a custom ROM ? You can also try downloading CPU Spy and see how your CPU behaves.

no I'm not even rooted the phone yet

Have you try to update the root with the last official RUU ?
Maybe It could help you. Versions 2.xx are better for this.
An other thing. It can come from a software running in background.
You can try to hardreset your phone and reinstall software one by one, with time between two installations to find wath app causing the problem. To see if your cpu work in background, install cool CPU or something else. You will see if the CPUs are busy while your on the home.
If you don t want to hard reset, you can try to uninstall all software, but I think it s less good.
Before uninstalling, try to find the application causing overheating with task manager.
Hope it s can help. Don t hesitate to thanks me

Stupid question but are you running at full brightness all the time (this heats up the phone).
Get hold of 'better battery stats' and check if any app is eating the battery

[REQUEST] simple app: Help with overheat problem

Hello,
I need a simple app to help with an overheat problem on my EVO.
Let me recap the problem simply, when the phone gets too warm it will shut down and vibrate five times and then blink the green LED. The phone then cannot be turned back on until the battery has cooled down.
I have found a half solution, if my phone is in Airplane mode then it will not shut down even when it is warm. So, to avoid shutdown, I need a simple widget. The widget should be 2x1. On the left side, a simple battery temp monitor. On the right side, an airplane icon to let me know if the phone is in airplane mode or not.
What I need the app to do is to automatically switch the phone to airplane mode if the the phone gets above a user designated temperature. The only exception to the automatic airplane mode should be if the phone is in a current call. Seems like the phone will let me finish a call before shutting down due to heat. Hopefully the app can throw the phone into airplane mode immediately when the call ends. But if that exception is too difficult, the primary functionality would still be worth it.
This is my first app request, so I don't know if I'm being specific enough. I also know that other people can use this app. Hopefully someone out there can help us all out.
Thanks
There is an app called tasker that should be able to do that for you. At least untill someone can build an app for you.

Not sure what your doing to over heat the phone, but I would try to fix the problem instead of usong a work around. It sounds like you have an inefficient kernel or its too far ovrrclocked. I'm thinking continual use in this overheated state will cause unrepairable damage to your phone.
Just looked at Tasker, from what I can tell it does not have Temperature as an event.
And the problem cause is not my kernel, from what I can tell. I've tried a few different kernels on a couple different mods. I've tried underclocking and under volting. Nothing seems to help. From what I've read, I might have a faulty sensor.
I had a hell of a time with cm7 and the jit compiler. Poor battery life and running warm even when browsing the web. Not sure what your running but it may be as easy as tapping a checkbox.

It's a hardware cpu sensor calibration issue, according to Sprint tech Lokifish Mars. Search for my thread in Evo General.
I avoid shutdowns by keeping battery temp < 39°C.
mine overheated when i was charging and using hotspot/tether, somehow after i wiped my sd card and everything else and installed the rom again it never overheated again.
somehow the more apps get installed the more the chanse some of them be are gonna be running in the backgroung, who knows...

Some phones overheat and shutdown regardless of installed apps, rom, or kernel. My Evo consistently shutsdown at 39°C, even when running bare aosp w/zero apps installed.
It's only an issue for me when playing games, using the phone in high ambient temps, and flashing mods. Keeping the battery & cpu cool with a fan or ac vent is the only way I can flash mods or roms.
Elixir is a free app on the market, you can make customizable widgets (1x1 up to 4x1), one for temp, the other to toggle airplane mode.
I use it to monitor temp, battery, cpu freq, and cpu %, and to keep an eye on ram.
Works well.

Sudden battery drain and warm back?

Hi guys,
last few days I'm going crazy with my HOX, its just performing badly.
Battery drain is obvious, and it is constantly warm or very warm on top.
I dont have anything special on it, using it for business, several mail accounts with Smart Sync, FB, TW, LN, Viber. Hardly play any games. Surf a lot on 3G/WiFi, but I need to charge it very often, every few hours.
What to do?

You have a rogue app causing partial wakelocks.

Ok I gonna try to help. Download antutu battery saver. It made a difference on my hox sadly it seems if you use ur hox not over Wifi and you do anything data like stuff it drains it like crazy. Also install system toolbox for the hox. They both help improving battery life.

Thnx 4 help.
Main problem is that I don't have ROOTed phone.
Any experience with apps? Can Viber do this drain?

Try gsam battery monitor. Look for it in play store. I don't think it requires root.
I don't think viber would cause so much drain. But a good battery monitor app Will help you pin point rogue apps.

Oh no Rott i understand. Well it does sound like an app causing an issue and like fellow members suggest try one of the apps to download i have the betterbatterystats old free version if u need it it still work on the htc one x. Or one other but also way more annoying thing you can do is factory resseting ur phone download the apps one by one and then you can see what app is causing the issue. But yeah somehow using the HOX over cellphone data rather then Wifi seems to drain it fast i do have the same issue. it is unpleasent. you also could look in to something like this http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B008LK1Z4G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A1EPR23ZPMBS2F

disable fastboot, autosync
Had the same problem. No application really helped. Batter stat applications can't really find the culprit. Juice defender didn't eliminate the problem either. My phone has been running two weeks without the problem. This is what I tried.
1. Disable fastboot. I previously had fastboot enabled. Right beside the option, it says if you enable fastboot, some application may not work properly.
2. Disable autosync. For sense weather, use manual sync.
Other than that, don't disable google location services. If I disable google location, my phone got warm every time I went to a different town.
I wonder if its an antenna problem. If you have a bad connection in the antenna it will cause battery drainage.
How is your connection on WiFi?
Well it lookes like it is draining but mostly when your screen is on.
Heat in the back is the typical symptom of high CPU usage.
I too suggest gsam.
It might be a kernel bug where the clocks are stuck at max clocks. Try rebooting a few times and check it with setcpu.
Three weeks after fastboot and autosync disabled, my phone's back got hot again without using anything and screen off. OS monitor showed CPU clock at 384Mhz. A reboot solved the problem. It happened that I used google map and navigation earlier that day. During the past three weeks, I had not used them. The sudden drain of battery happened when I was in a different town I haven't been before.
So, I guess it is kernel bug related with map. Particularly, I suspect it was the auto cache feature that's causing the problem. However, map auto cache cannot be disabled.

Help me diagnose the lag problem

Ever since I updated my phone to stock 4.0.4, it's not been the same buttery smooth Epic Touch that it used to be on Gingerbread. Sometimes the lags gets so bad that the phone would restart itself. I have done a reformat and things have been going smooth for about 2 months and it has started lagging again now. Right now I am running minimum 3rd party apps, and only limited to reputable ones such as Facebook and whatnot. The CPU Spy shows the phone is in deep sleep most of the time. Android OS still takes up about 90% of battery usage. I made sure nothing is hogging up the ram in task manager and clear memory 2-3 times a day. Yet, it still lags like crazy especially while typing or turning the screen off.
Can anyone chime in on what else could be causing this?

FB's refresh interval is set to 1 hour. Is that what you are referring to?

CPU clock stuck at 1.9GHz...help?

For some reason, my CPU clock keeps getting stuck at 1.9GHz max. I was thinking it was something to do with Rom Toolbox Pro, and I've since uninstalled it. My keyboard kept freezing at the screen, so I download CPUz to check my speed, and it's still stuck at 1.9GHz, even with Rom Toolbox's data defaulted and the app uninstalled. This problem is persistent across different ROMs, using all their included kernels. I'm currently running Sky Dragon 8.1, unlocked and S-Off. Any suggestions?
My solution: reflash the ROM without wiping anything at all. It should solve the problem.
And don't mess around with CPU, GPU, sound related stuff manually unless you know what you're doing very explicitly xD or you will end up damaging any internal of the phone (without even bricking it, just an irreparable damage), which will lower your experience of the phone, while you won't even realize where the problem came from, and warranty won't work too.

I would try to manually set max cpu speed, if it doesn't work maybe htc has some overheat protection of you've enabled some power saving mode.

Little cores running at 1440 all the time

Hey guys, need some help. I have an AT&T H810 rooted 10o. My little cores seem to be running full out at 1440mhz even though my governor is set to Interactive. This is causing it to heat up incredible, to 70c+, and is draining the battery quickly. It seems to have only started occurring in the last few days! I can run it in powersave governor which fixes it to 384mhz, and it fixes the problem, but I don't understand why it is running at full speed under interactive now. The big cores do NOT have this problem AT ALL.
I've removed any apps I installed during that time, cleared my phones cache, cleared the memory, I have tried running it in airplane mode, I've looked into what apps were running and it seems to be very few. Turned location off. I've tried freezing the play services because I have been getting a very intermittent force close. I have also tried to disable all xposed modules, and used avg to scan for any malware. Possibly init.d? Possibly the new xposed v79? I'm at a loss as to what is causing this!
Does anyone have any other ideas as to what could be happening?
There's always the good old factory reset if everything else fails.
Just asking the obvious but there is no offending wakelocks or anything that sticks out in the battery usage stats?

Battery usage Android OS is highest at 33, followed by screen at 16%.
Wakelocks, I seem to have them under control with amplify, and I don't see any new ones.
Question about factory reset, I am not near a pc for the next few days, will it cause any problems with xposed or my rooted system image, and basically what can I expect with it? I came from a M8 where with custom recovery I was pretty fearless with being to wipe and refresh, can't do that here.
Noticed that disabling 2 of the little cores with kernel auditor really helps with the heat buildup of the phone with not much slowdown

Doesn't solve why it's running at full speed, but I'll keep that in mind.

Personally I never done a factory reset myself yet so i cannot comment.
For the most part it does look like you have something to work with seeing Android OS is taking up the most battery. The hard part is tracking down which process. I'm not the best at this so maybe someone else can chime in. Try taking a look at your currently running processes and see if there's anything odd
Well, after a few factory resets which did not affect xposed, I was able to resolve it to where the cores now return to 384mhz idle. It was something that was installed, and it took 3 or 4 resets after restoring my app backups, and I'm still not sure which app was the culprit. I'm possibly wondering if it was the Amplify module
Sorry for bumping this. I just suffered from this problem and it seems for me it was antutu. For some reasons it was running the background keeping the 4 small cores at 1,2-1,4 cuz constantly. I stopped it and now it's back to normal. Just wondering why it started itself in the first place.
