So I'm fairly new to the forums and have been looking through to see what kind of issues this phone has. I knew it got a little warm, but this morning it was too hot to hold up to my cheek. I left it charging overnight, like I always do, and it didn't even charge! When i put the charger back in after it cooled, it would not charge. I had to keep holding down the power button in order for it to charge. When I tried to boot my phone, all it did was show the LG logo (SOMETIMES it showed the boot animation), then it would just turn off. It took me a few hours to be able to finally boot my phone. I had to hold down the power button down for 5 min so it could charge, then i booted into TWRP and pushed boot system. Am I the only one who has had this problem? I am currently running Imperium v 1.0.0.

did you happen to leave it in recovery?
The same happened to me the other day I left it in the charger when I came back to it it was just very hot it would not start often times the animation for a charging battery with show up then I just kind of the left it alone I was able to get into recovery and then turned it off a few hours later it turned back on. When restarted it show that it only had about 5 or 6 percent battery power I charge it on a separate charger and it has been fine don't really know what happened I'm just rooted and unlocked
And my apologies for the lack of punctuation I'm too lazy to type all this done by voice pretty damn accurate

downloading and reflashing stock deodex to verify. if I can duplicate the high temps then we may have a bigger problem.
UPDATE
Stock deodex, running CFBench @1.13GHz. I'm up in the mid 60's with spikes as high as 78c and no downclock. Not good folks. This is not an Imperium Initiative issue. This is an LG issue.

I knew I wasn't the only one, and I was sure that it was not the awesome ROM that I am using. I guess this otter box doesn't help either. It's just weird that it happened while the phone was being charged. I would understand if I was gaming on it for hours and charging. like I used too when I was hooked on ck zombies2 lol.
Mine just overheated out of nowhere. I was doing nothing and it had no apps running... I open one and now it's hot. This is strange :/
Sent from LG Optimus Prime G
My LG Optimus G also overheats and feels very hot to the touch sometimes and sometimes it just randomly reboots when it gets hot, I'm running stock ZV9 that I upgraded to OTA from ZV8.
No problems with mine yet. I'm running lifeless v9 right now with stock kernel. Are you guys using the charger that came with the phone? I noticed the power specs are different than some of the other chargers I have

Mine does it off charger. Like playing games mostly. And when I use data with a bad connection.

I've been running Lifeless v9 for a while with stock kernel without any problems either. I played the hell out of Anomaly Warzone Earth HD and although it would get pretty warm, it never overheated. The only time my phone ever gets hotter than playing that game is when running GPS in the car while charging without the backplate breathing (ie, sitting face up with the back on the seat).
I just experienced the same issue. I'm running Lifeless v11 with joker's stockish v2 kernel.
I charge my phone every night via AC and have not used my phone much at all today. Checked my gmail, got on facebook, and sent 1 text. I left it on my desk while I went out to lunch and I could not believe it got as hot as it did. There was nothing running yet my phone had less than 30% battery (it's been less than 5 hours since I removed it from the charger) and must've been at least 105F degrees.

Hey all I am having some trouble with my Inc2. It seems like there is some issue with the USB port or the battery. It is having a lot of trouble charging. It also seems like the battery is draining faster than normal. The issue started today. I woke up and my phone was off. I tried everything I could but it would not turn on.
After about 2 hours of screwing around with it it just turned on. Once it booted up I noticed that the battery was at 0. I have had it on the charger all day and it never got over 40%. Please help!

Try a different battery or a different cord. I had a similar issue.

I'm not completely sure about this, but in your sig, you say you are overclocked to 1.5ghz. That probably isn't helping your battery.
My nephew had the same problem and it was a bad usb port. Does your connection seem snug or a little loose? If so, I would get it replaced.
I left my phone on the charger all night and when I woke up it was fully charged, but really.. really, hot. I noticed I had one notification which was a text and I know the phone stopped charging, and that shouldn't be the issue. After unplugged it, reset it, and answered the text It cooled down. I had a text just a couple of minutes ago and waited a while to answer it and noticed my phone was getting slightly warmer. Since I responded Its now at a regular temperature. Is it possible my phones overheating from pending notifications? I know that question sounds dumb but this is really bugging me out. Anyone have any advice?

I usually power it off.. because it also charges faster. I had no apps running and even turned off the data connection. I DID however try to install the gta San Andreas app from an "undisclosed" website.. (ehmm 4shart) which was a bad idea since of course it didn't work.. I really hope im not gonna have to end up re-installing this rom and theme, since i just installed it 3 days ago.
what are a couple things that would cause over heating? maybe that can help out.. thanks
If your phone is in use while on the charger... the display being really high the normal things.... that cause overheating like leaveing it clocked at 1500mhz
Sent From My "epic" SPH-D700 via XDA Premium
True, I think my display was on, and it usually is pretty bright. I just charged it again this time while powered off and there was no overheating (woohoo!) I've had this epic for about a year and a half now so I take care of it likes it's child haha...
I appreciate the advice :thumbup:
I noticed my phone got hot when charging (phone is on when I charge) with the EI22 ROMs I used.
I recently installed the stock EL30, rooted it, and installed the Shadow kernel for EL30. Now it always stays cool. Coincidence? Maybe, but I'm happy it's always cool now.
there's possibily charging overnight will make your battery broke inside (see explanation for li ion battery on google)so it easily become overheated when used normally

What did you do before it happened? Flash twrp?
I was browsing web, then put it on the charger. Happened as soon as I put on charger, have had twrp for at least a month. I have feeling its a hardware issue, because I was able to boot once restore a back up and use again, until it happened again, have been unable to boot since the second occurance.

My old SE X10 did the same.
Turn your phone off. Get the battery out and put the phone and the battery in the fridge (not in the icebox).
Wait 10 min.
Test it again. If the Phone works a few hours (or minutes), so you have certainly a hardware defect.
You can test some "stresstest" apps.

I high moisture environment isn't recommended for a lithium-ion battery that goes into a 350 dollar piece of electronics. If you think its the battery, get a different one. If it's overheating, check the temperature and replace the unit.
Also check the micro-usb connection for debris. This has happened to me several times and its always some kind of crap in the connector. I have gotten it out with compressed air a couple times but once I had to use a toothpick to dislodge something that was particularly stubborn (and apparently conductive!).
You probably have a bad power button. Seen this a lot lately

For testing odin to stock and reroot, see if your problem persists. In the event it does just warranty exchange it. Saves a lot of hassle plus if its hardware they should grant you the warranty without any hassle. On another note if its the battery giving you issue, Ebay has them for sale for a very decent price.

Thanks guys, warranty replacement on the way, don't think its battery because plugged in charger wo batt and it vibrates, I only worry bc if you attempt to boot into recovery twrp flash screen shows for less than a second, I know I voided warranty but has got to be hw issue not caused by me, fingers crossed that samsung aknowledges that!

Same thing was happening to me. I found that i could only get it to boot up when it was connected to my computer via usb and had the battery installed. I was on ICS 4.0.4 and not rooted. As soon as i got it to boot up, i did a factory reset, and everything is working perfect now.
Hi,
I have got this phone and i love it. I bought it 1 month ago. When i was using 4.1.1 JB which comes with phone there wasnt any problem. Only when i using phone on charging some heat was on the top of screen. I updated 4.1.2 and used for 1 weeks without any error. But i have a problem since 2 weeks. Phone charging very slowly and if i use it on charging % dropping. Im sure about charger and cable. Problem suddenly occured on 4.1.2. I tried wipe on recovery mode. It wasn helped. How can i fix it. Im started charge before sleep last night. When morning battery was % 66. HELP ME

you should try to figure out where the drain is coming from using something like betterbatterystats. If it is under warrenty I would take it back. If not id install 4.1.1 again.
Also you could use another cable or charger just to be sure it's not the charger that's being delivered is too low

My charger is 5v 2a original charger. It charges other phones normally. If there isnt any way to fix it ill wait for 4.2. I dont want to back 4.1.1. Im a bit lazy
Emotion rom 4.3 is awsum
Get the updated MB2 version rom
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I dont want any custom rom. If there isnt any fix for it ill wait for 4.2
I will bump this...because I'm having the same problem... I hear about 7 hours onscreen time and the best I usually get is 4.5...right now I'm at 63% and unplugged it four hours ago... current on screen time is 1 hr 21 minutes... granted it was on full brightness but usually I keep it at half.
Here is my problem.. when i check apps running I have 8...but when I close ram I get 52 applications closed.. HUH?
Help us track these down... I have the phone rooted but am using stock since nov or dec. I don't know what to search for to track these processes down... unfortunately sync being off doesn't seem to work.

Ram closes many system apps as well which will be reloaded within the next few minutes.
If you do clear memory and leave the phone for a while then do a clear memory again you will be surprised to see the no of apps.

Have you tried to flash a new KERNEL or reflash the original KERNEL. I would backup the phone cwm or TWP.
If you're phone is actually charging, then the old battery stats have not been erased. If unsure let it run down to zero, switch the phone off and put it to charge.
Good luck, I haven't had any problems with 4.1.1 dont see a need to upgrade.
RED OR BLUE YOU CHOOSE !!!
Thanks all. But it isnt any kernel problem i think. It occured after 4.1.2 and its about processors heat. On 4.1.1 when using phone on charging there was heat on top of screen. Sometimes cant touch there. After 4.1.2 this problem fixed but charging problem occured. I think they tried to decrease this heat but from wrong way. If i cant use this phone why im paying this money

Happened to my wife's phone, i had enough charge to where I could get into the bootloader and do a reboot and plugged the charger back in and it booted up and charged. It almost happened again tonight, the screen was dark when she plugged it into the charge then 5 mins later the charging indicator on the screen popped up. You can def get it to work again just try to get into your bootloader and do a reboot. Just make sure you have the charge plugged in because the first time i encountered this it booted up but turned off and soft bricked again.

I've had mine die a few times with no problems. At least three instances on zvb and once on EOS. Just my two cents.
I believe what you need next time is to use the sbl unlock in free gee next time. That fixed this issue for me.

I used the that unlock method, I had been rooted with ZERO issues for a month and my phone had died at least 3 times before that, i was really baffled that it bricked, I am back to stock for now, might build the courage to do it all over again, pissed me off though i lost so much stuff. :crying:
i had the same issue, all i did was just plug into the charger let it sit then hit the power button. when the phone shut off it showed the charging icon on the screen. i ended up waiting it out and the device fired up with 2% battery then i put the phone to sleep and charged the rest of the way.
I have this issue every time my phone dies. It doesn't brick.
If I plug the phone in the screen will just light up but won't charge properly. I have to let it charge up enough. Then go into the bootloader and reboot from there. Let it turn on. Then charge it while it is on.
Try it. I'm pretty sure you aren't soft bricked.
