Overheat one x, now is dead. I need help, any ideas? - HTC One X

Today is my bad luck day with One X.
The phone seems to be dead, and I believe it's because one x + battery.
I changed its original battery by the one x +'s a few months ago.
So, be warned, the one x + battery could damage your phone.
Here is what happened:
1) the phone begin to overheat suddenly
2) I turned it off and waited to the next day
3) turned it on, was very cool, but as soon as it begin the boot sequence, it became to overheat (even before the system starts)
4) when the launcher was loaded, I opened trickster mod to check temperature, the cpu and battery temperature raised very quickly to these values: battery 55° C (131° F) and cpu 65° C (149° F), also the battery was draining very very very quickly (5% per minute)
5) turned if off and waited to be cool
6) put it to charge (was turned off) and went to lunch
7) checked it 40 minutes after, there was no red charging light and a was VERY hot
8) took out from outlet and waited to be cool
9) now it doesn't turn on or charge anymore (no life signal)
That's it, my last hope is to put the original battery back on it again and try to charge (maybe the original battery still works)
It's on God's hands now.

I have put the original battery back and now is working, but still overheating.
Any ideas about the OVER overheat?

are you on stock or custom rom with custom kernel? in such case you always should give more information

If it is still overheating, it might not be the battery's fault. Probably it's the CPu that's overheating the battery...
Have you modified the voltages, maybe made a mistake and over-volted instead of under-volted?
You should try going back to stock ROM to see if the problem persist.

Sorry, it's a custom rom, this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506
But I've been using it for six months without problems. Just yesterday the phone begin to overheat and the battery wasn't charging anymore.
So I changed the battery back to the original, but the overheat is still there.
Also, the overheat happens even when the phone is charging turned off (just red light), so I assume it is not a rom problem, it must be something related to the CPU. Now I've changed the battery I'm not so sure that the one x+ battery caused the problem, but I'm sure the one x + battery is not working anymore (wasn't charging or turning the phone on).
Now I'm trying to charge the battery (original) slowly (charge 10 min and stop to let the phone get cool). After that I plan to put the stock rom back and see what happens. But I don't think the overheat will stop.
Any ideas on that?

I'll just finish charging the phone and will try to back to stock ROM from CWM backup.
I haven't modified any voltage, but I could check if wasn't a bug from trickster mod (maybe?).
How can I check if the voltages are correct?

Maybe you did something wrong while putting the battery in or so...I would say try another kernel or flash also another Rom...because sometimes its due to kernel ... Or you f#cked something up...

Trickster doesn't modify any files, so just by unchecking the "apply on boot" option (or uninstalling the app) and rebooting the phone should get you back on the stock volages. They always get reseted every reboot.
I don't really think over-volting is your problem, but it was an ideea. Could be a hardware issue, but others that knows better should pronounce.
In the meantime, try getting back to stock, who knows, it might help.
You should try changing the charger/usb cable and/or the power outlet you are using when charging...

I am also experiencing this problem, with a non-rooted stock ROM model. I hope it isn't a problem with the hardware...

Had the same problem with my second HOX, all stock. The heat was caused by fast battery drainage and intense CPU usage due to a rogue app and the CPU and motherboard got fried witch meant a motherboard swap.
This happened to mine, hope it's not the same thing with yours.
Best of luck.

HTC Desire Charging and usage causes reboot :(

tried searching but couldnt find any thing related to this as people experience reboots without charging but mine is different
the phone works fine when its not on charge and i can play games for hours without a random reboot with temp topping up to about 35 deg
but when on charge after about 15 min it will keep restarting temp - 38.6 deg
wouldnt stop reboot loop until battery is taken out and charging cable...
battery cooler then the bottom of the phone if i use it while charging..
phone is still in warranty, what could be the fault.. battery? i have tried using another charger but its the same..
unrooted and has never been overclocked... stock HTC Desire running Froyo 2.2
any ideas..
edit: i also saw some where that changing back to stock memry card may solve this problem but it hasnt for me..
tried 4GB Class 2
and 8GB Class 4 and its still the same

38 is not so high for charging, unless you are charging from your computer. So you can rule out the battery.
I would suspect a bad phone overall. Sounds like a bad cpu. Try charging with the cover off.
Silly question, but are you running an aftermarket program that monitors temp?

yep i've been using Batteryminder free from market.. ive also tried that code *#*#4060#*#* (i know the code is wrong but cant remember is correctly now) and they show the same temperature. voltage decreases as the battery percentage decreases which makes sense..
i used to have a hard cover on the back but removed that and its still the same. I've only charged it up using wall charger. genuin htc charger and after market charger with same voltage..
i will surely give it a go without the back cover and let you know how it goes. It does sound like a bad cpu.
will they replace the motherboard or te whole phone for another one?
many thanks
Have no idea how they will repair it. I've heard they do it both ways. Make sure you Sync and backup all your contacts and such.
Also might want to uninstall that battery program, unless it was happening before you installed it.
Good luck

i'm going to reflash the stock rom again to see if that helps ...
are these steps right?
btw should i flash the newest radio, current one is 5.11.05.27? what does radio actually do? does it just improve signals? where can i find the latest radio?
. I used to own N900 and that phone took some beating it never rebooted even at 54 degrees while charging quite disappointed with htc desire
edit: ok just figured out on how to reflash it and successfully flashed it it was .exe file double clicked on it and it flashed for me..
the only this which is left is what does radio do? should i flash that aswell
will post up resullts whether it wtill restarts or not
ok, after reflashing i started to reinstall all apps from market whil the usb was still plugged in! and it rebooted! the bottom of the phone was hot!
i will have to send the phone for repairs
Tell me what what was the problem and did they fix it after receving the phone. I have the same problem with my Desire and i want to fix it too but when i took it back from service the problem was still there

[Q]Wlidfire S Battery charge indicator 2.3.5 upgrade problem

Battery charge indicator 2.3.5 upgrade problem
Hello everyone.This is my first time come to xda-developers form.I'm from china.
Yesterday I update my wildfire S(China mainland Edition)to 2.3.5+Sense3.0 lockscreen(Taiwan Edition)'s ROM.
I charge my bbttery yesterday evening.I turn off my phone.
When charge compalate.I found that the LED light didn't change green.It was still orange.
Why?How to solve it?
PS:Maybe my post have some Grammar problem。I hope that you can Bear with it.
Try factory reset see if it helps.
Backup important information and personal stuff first.
Just try the procedure of taking the battery out, sim card, micro sd etc etc and see if that works...
are you using the stock battery?
i used to notice with my (so called) extended battery 2430mah Gold battery, the software would say it was 100% charge, but it stayed orange for around another hour or two, then eventually turned green...i assume this is because the phone software had misjudged the charge level...so although it THOUGHT it was 100% full, it was actually still charging?
so if you have changed the battery at all, leave it charging for a bit longer (only an hour or so) and see if it goes out?
should be safe, as the batteries themselves usually have an auto shut off safety to stop them from being over-charged.
I get the exact same on ALL custom ROMs, never on Stock though, would love a fix!

Since I unlocked my phone's bootloader, rooted and installed custom recovery I have the same problem too.
If I charge the battery with the phone turned on, the led turns green at 100% and everything is fine.
If I charge the battery with the phone off, the led stays orange forever even when I disconnect the charger. Then I have to remove the battery and insert it again so that the led turns off. If I wait enough time charging the battery reaches 100%.
This is a strange sympton that only started with the rooting/recovery flashing process.
Oh and BTW the way, I use stock battery but now I'm waiting for the arrival of two batteries I ordered on eBay.
One is a Li-Ion 1500 mAh and the other a Li-Polymer 2430 mAh.
Will see if the same happens when they arrive but I'm almost 100% sure this has something to do with the bootloader unlocking process.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it.

I for example left my phone charging for 8 hours (during the night) beyond the normal charge time. And the worst is that I have to remove the battery in order to turn off the orange led and be able to turn on my phone...

have you try to wipe battery stats in recovery mode?
perhaps this will help, although I had not previously encountered a similar problem

Same as, pain in the arse!
Great news! At least on my phone this problem is gone.
You wonder how? Simply by updating recovery to v5.0.2.8 from ROM Manager.
I almost didn't notice it it but a few hours ago I plugged my phone to the charger while still on. After finishing my work I turned it off (no fastboot).
In the meanwhile I needed to use my phone far from the wall plug and disconnected the usb charger cable.
My gesture was to immediately remove back cover to remove the battery but fortunately I noticed the orange led went off.
So I decided to plug it again and wait for the charge to complete and for the green led. It did!
So run to the Market, download ROM Manager and let it update your recovery to the latest version.
I hope this annoying pest won't bother you no more.

thanks, i will definitely try this, ive been having a hard time looking on ways how to solve this problem.. also can i now do battery calibration steps after that?
cause im having battery drain issue on my WFS after flashing of ROM, im not getting 4.219V my only maximum was 4.196V. And yesterday i tried charging my phone in OFF state for 7.5hours and when i open it 100% at 4.077V, and now 87% just after 15mins of use..

[Q] Battery at 0% when inserting replacement

Hi all
I've bought 2 Desire HD batteries (1210mah IIRC) and they work just fine on their own.
I can't manage to keep alive my phone after replacing one with another (charged), though, since the phone believes the battery charge is 0%. I know this is an error, since I can always plug the phone and check with an handful of apps.
This actually means that I can't switch from a dying battery to a charged one if I don't have access to a USB socket!
If I have to guess, I'd say the phone is not deleting batterystats when I swap the batteries.
Any idea? I'm running CodefireX JB nightlies.
Have been noticing the same behavior! Would like to know if anyone knows a solution..

Actually I did found a workaround, kinda. After a first boot-automatic shutdown, this morning I booted in recovery, then I wiped batterystats (although I don't know how that could help). After a reboot it shat down again automatically, and then it worked.
I'd guess it just take some time to read the correct mV value. So basically you could leave your phone sitting in recovery for like 5 minutes and then reboot. Or, you know, just fratically reboot until it works. That's my plan anyway.
Meh.
That is a known issue with batteries other than the original HTC battery. Since I'm used to have a sensation battery, I ought to bring along portable charger whenever I can in long trips. There is no other way other than plugging it in charger or just hoping that it would boot up with a lil bit of luck.

It makes sense. I had to reboot the phone after a full charge (unrelated issue) and then it happened again. I tried my luck; after three reboots the phone got it right. It should be enough having the phone sitting in recovery mode for like 5 minutes. When it shows a valid percentage it's good to go!
This happens to me almost daily. All you have to do is restart the phone maybe twice... nothing else. I used to think i had to plug it in as well. Nope just restart it, if it shows 0 percent again it'll die, restart again, bam 100 percent.

[Q] Battery charging problem

I have an unusual charging problem.
Many of time but not always, i put my phone to charge and it looks like charging. after some time it says that the power i use is less than i charge so my battery goes down. Most of the time i wake up the morning and it is close. The strange is that some times, before it close i do a restart and the battery is much more up% !!!!!! and other times is still down after restart.
I bought new battery and still nothing.
I tried million restart, hard reset, battery calibration, other chargers and still nothing. It also appears on deferent version of roms. Now i have ViperX.
I cant understand why it happens. I have this problem for months... Any idea?
Try a new charger, worked for me on the same issue.

I have already done. the same problem... but can't understand why looks like doesn't charge and after restart is charched or other times don't. before an hour had to shut down for 5 minutes to start charging!!!!
I have really confused what is happening.
I also experience a simillar problem, and sometimes my phone reboots automatically while charging for no reason. Right now i am using a new charger, and looking for a diff rom other than viperX in the hope that it will solve the problem.

Same problem here since months ago!!!
Sometimes when I open GSam Battery Monitor to check the charge speed it shows me about (-400ma to -550ma) which means it's not charging at all and sometimes it shows me (400ma - 550ma) which means it's charging well (-400ma usage + 1000ma charging = +600ma).
And after trying with another charger (not original one) the charging is good at about +200ma, and USB charging is also about +200ma with Fast Charge enabled.
But, can someone try the charger with another phone brand like Samsung and test the charging speed with GSam Battery Monitor for 2-3 complete charges and compare the speed with his original charger (I mean Samsung's Charger), coz I tried with my wife's device (SGSII) but GSam didn't show me the charging speed! and it was working well with her device.
Could be this something related to HTC Kernel?
Could everyone with\without charging problem tell us what Kernel\ROM he is on?
I'm on Lyapota's Kernel | maXimus ROM and was also having this issue with ARHD with Stock Kernel
the point is that I changed charger and I thought that was the problem. after some days I had same problem again. I don't have this problem every time I charge.
I am on viperx 4.0.7 and stock kernel.

Bad Battery?

I know. I've seen the threads for battery drain and such, but I don't think there's a problem with "drain" so much, as perhaps a bad battery altogether.
I'm using my old M8 for my daughter, but after RUU, and setting up latest TWRP and all, then trying to install a custom ROM whether Stock or AOSP, when I boot into recovery, it goes from 100% within the ROM, to show 80% in recovery.
If off the charger, there does appear to have some battery drain, but I chalk that up to normal first usage.
However, it then shuts off @ 30%, but when I put it on the charger, it says @ 60%.
I've done the calibration method (hold all buttons for 2 minutes) trick, but there appears to be no help for the erratic battery readings.
Does anyone know if my suspicion is correct?
I'm on Sprint's last RUU.

Ive seen so many posts now that refer to the exact thing you mention. Phones turning off at 20-30%. Its claimed that this is due to a faulty battery and a replacement has fixed it. I do not have this problem, however, I did get a replacement 12 months ago.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Did you replace it yourself, or have a tech do it?

I replaced mine just Yesterday, with both speakers, chraging portero AND buttons, its not that hard AND not easy, you Will nerd a razor blade, AND see a few videos first, one thing to have in mind Is that i put a m9 battery on my m8, AND the phone works, but the phone doesnt recognize the aditional 240mamps,. AND the battery temp always shows 25C, but besides that everything is ok, waiting for the battery yo settle.
