Pouring salt water on mine has not only allowed it to run cooler throughout the day but also allowed me to run at 2.8ghz. Thanks!

I prefer to dunk it in water, much better at cooling :good:
Salt water didn't work well for me. I used distilled water with ice. Works very well; plus it is cleaner

Guys.. I did what you guys suggested, but my phone didn't perform any better.
I guess the overheating problem is solved because the phone doesn't even turn on anymore!
What do I do now? /:
.. lol.
I went straight to Antifreeze to help with heat soak..
On a serious note. After an Hour of HEAVY use i can feel my Hot phone through my Otterbox Commuter.. Doesnt scare me. Ive had my HTC Sensation over 130* F and it still held up...
Will distilled/deionized water actually damage the phone? Serious q.

Short answer is no. It is however easy to taint the water if not in a closed loop. This also assumes there is no aluminum and copper mixing.
Gotta love home made water cooling gone wrong.... Dun dun dunnnnn!

Quick question, I've got a bricked evo that I have'nt touched in months. The battery has been useless inside the phone's box since then but a couple of days ago I noticed the battery looks like it expanded or exploded from the inside. Any idea of what could of caused this?
Very curious.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If it was never charged for a while and left on a cool environment I would say that the battery was just bad, if you had it on a hot place like on the glove compartment inside your car then it overheated. Either way I hope you discard it.
Any lump on a battery means you need to dispose of it..I've heard of some crazy stuff lol.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Dispose of it immediately. If you try to use it or charge it, it will likely explode.
Oh I would never attempt to use it again, I was just a little curious as to why this would happen. Thanks all!

old batteries tend to do that...
This concerns me, so I thought I would warn other Note II owners. Beware of temperature changes.
I went from in my truck, outside where it was near 10F out. (-11c) and into a building while using my Note II. Once in the building, as I was holding the phone and using it, the screen (glass) cracked from the middle left of Home button in an arc to where the power button is.
The phone is 3 days old and never been dropped.
Only the glass cracked. One line.
Reported today, but because it's Sunday, I have to call Rogers Managment Office to see if they will replace it.
I have never heard of this happening before.

Every phone, actually any device is useless with extreme temperatures.
Matters more is the duration of how long the device was exposed to certain degree of cold or heat.

That's surprising! I wonder if you got a lemon...
I saw this video not too long ago and in it, the lady put her note 2 in the freezer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KERzJo9L7vM#t=63s
A typical household freezer should be about -18 Celsius.
I've had my old Galaxy 1 out in similar temperatures at Whistler and it didn't do any damage and the new gorilla glass should be even tougher than its predecessor.
Regardless, they should give you a replacement since it sounds like it died in normal operating conditions.
Damnit physics. Once again you win.

Wow. I haven't read the manual yet but im pretty sure it says do not expose the unit under extreme temperature somewhere in there. Pretty standard nowadays.

When you were outdoors, was the phone in your pocket, or was it away from your body and fully exposed to the cold?

32F really sounds too high for most winter states I think. I mean, even here in Utah 32F during winter is considered a warm day...at least for me since it gets much lower but luckily never had an issue with my phones.
I will be more careful from now on though.
Good news! Rogers will replace the phone where I got it.
But heading to Calgary so won't be for a week and a half.

I guess that's one good thing for moving out of Alaska, about the only one I can think of though... It's -26F there right now. I've never seen a screen crack from the cold before though. Was a computer tech for the Fairbanks school district. We had plenty of cracked video cables in the teacher's laptops when they left them in their cars overnight, but no cracked screens.
Quick temp changes are the enemy not necessarily the extremes themselves.

Crap thats what i thought. Why is it working on and off then? I figured of it shorted out it would be dead for good (the accelerometer i guess). You think if i take the phone apart and clean up the board I might revive it?

Clean it with some high percentage alcohol, I think its over 91% with a toothbrush after you take it apart. I've seen it work miracles.

there is just to much everywere. would it be overkill if I let the mainboard and the case (minus the battery) soak in alcohol for like 10 to 20 minutes and then blow dry them?

Alright it is dead the accelerometer and the light sensor are not working even after cleaning. Anybody have a doner phone? Ha ha

If you were careful taking it apart and cleaned it good, you may be able to take it in to Sprint and have it replaced. Idk if there is any litmus paper to show it got wet though.

I already tried they wont let me. but something else that's weird, I thought maybe restoring back to stock might work if its something software related to I tried restoring to zv7 with the link in the IRC using lgnpst and lgnpst is not flashing the bootloader or anything for that matter. any ideas why? I can get the phone in download mode and lgnpst does its regular thing, the phone reboots at 67% like normal, then it sits at the 4g LTE logo on the boot animation until it overheats and shuts off. I tried getting into the bootloader and it will not show it. if I hold vol up+vol down+power, it just goes straight to the boot animation from a cold start.

They showed an iPhone getting dunked in a bucket of water. Interesting idea. Would anybody ever try this on their phone/tablet/keyboard/laptop?
Now that I took a better look, it's a Sprint iPhone. No better iPhone to dunk in water. Just sayin.

That's really neat technology, but I wouldn't do it to the phone I paid $600 for. To be honest, water damage is the least of my concerns. I'm far more likely to drop it on pavement or gravel.

I sure hope you weren't a can of hydrophobic solution!
I remember seeing the first videos for this and thought it seems awesome. Many kinds of possibilities for the stuff. Just wondering how clear of a coating this stuff is, if it'll affect the touch sensitivity much, heat dissipation, and if it'll muffle the speakers and mic.

What about the connectors for battery, sd and sim cards, headphone jack, usb port.....I'm assuming you'd have to scrape the stuff off of where ever there needs to be bare metal for a connection. If anyone does this be extremely careful of the usb/charging port! It can be easily damaged. And this stuff probably won't be easy to get out of a headphone jack if it blocks the connection.
I'm also curious about the effect it has on the sound, but more importantly the mic. Will others be able to hear you as well?
I'm cautiously optimistic with this stuff. It is awesome, but for a smart phone, I don't know. Kinda wonder if they were just using it as an extreme demonstration, like the guy with a screen door in the bottom of the boat. Sure it can be done, but it is never actually recommended you do so.
Not trying to be a downer, just thinking of all the angles to look at before doing a $600 test. Be careful! And good luck! I really do hope it works w/o any issues!
Oh and someone asked about touchscreen sensitivity. They did not apply it to the screen.

Hey, my phone died and I put it on my charger before I left to run to the store. When I came back, the phone was RIDICULOUSLY hot and it prompted on the screen "Charging temporarily stopped due to high temperature." I unplugged the phone, cooled it off with a frozen pack of Bacon (bacon is good for ANYTHING Lol) and powered it back on and plugged it into the charger. I plugged the charger into a different socket because I'm pretty sure the socket I was in was overheating my phone. Well, that mixed with the fact that I had on an Otterbox and it was sitting on a microfiber couch Lol. I'm currently on the stock ROM over clocked to 1.7

Well then..just run it like you stole it! It's happened to a few people but I haven't heard if its caused long term effects. The otterbox shouldn't contribute much to the heat.
