Heat issue / over heating - Sprint LG Optimus G

The heating / over heating people notice isn't the phone itself...
What the heat or hotness people feel coming from the back of the phone near the l.e.d is actually where the contact points are for the WiFi...
So its not the battery or CPU over heating its the WiFi actually pulling an excessive amount of juice while trying to either connect to a poor router signal or a heavy download...

Interesting.... Is this a fact? Cause I run wifi all the time at my place on lifeless and there's no heat, but on cm or dirty unicorns it heats up. The same spot you mentioned.

Yes I will post pic of were the contacts are located and where they meet the back of the phone...

Interesting.....

I never wouldn't thought it were the Wi-Fi but now this actually makes sense. A couple of times lately I've noticed my phone burning up just doing routine downloads. I knew it wasn't anything taxing the CPU too much...

That's interesting. I've noticed that it heats up pretty nicely while I make my daily back ups for Stock and AOSP.

If you look at the CPU or battery temperature, it's usually hot when the back feels hot. All that depends on the thermal driver in kernel. I haven't played around with that a ton, but usually show-p1984's from bricked kernel for the N4 works well for me.

I turned off that thermal daemon monitor from a thread awhile back... figure it makes a good hand warmer. if he dies, he dies lol.

What's your battery usage graph look like? You just say "draining fast" but we can't see what your usage, wake time, or network look like.
Some more info on what you're running would be nice? any custom kernels or roms we should take into account?
Dynamic IP routers will do this to you, which is what I'm assuming is happening.
You ARE on WiFi during this time, right?
If you can set a Static IP, try that.
If you can't...there isn't a known fix.

That's the first I hear about that, but it could be, especially if the lease time of the IP is set too low...

I'm not sure, but your phone sure is awake even off of Wifi...
Take a screenshot of the "Alarms" in your Battery Manager app.
You have an app/process (or a couple) keeping your phone awake 100% of the time. Track it down and you've fixed your issue. Whatever's running that "PowerManagerService" process.

Need more info, my guess is a background app. Looks like you are stock 100%? That's your problem, lol... Just messing. What is your screen time? Click on display to see that... You're in a 4g area so signal shouldn't be the culprit. Your media is #1 user, but why, were you using it?
More like an hour and a half close to 2..if you used it for like 20 to 25 minutes I would think it's common. Like dude said above me we need screen time, also data technically eats battery away faster than wifi just a thought. Brightness is important too maybe you can try power saving mode, don't expect much difference though. Darker wallpaper helps, but most importantly are you auto syncing and if so which apps it usually starts there. Every little bit helps, most powerful phones have average battery life. Unless you start undervolting voltages and cpu that's where you see the big difference.

Has to be a rogue app. Try wiping the phone and reinstall everything with increments to get to the root of your problem.

100% awake time, horrible battery life.

Okay guys, I hope this phone gets better battery life than 8 hours, and I'm not hard on a phone at all. Any ideas on this? My wake locks are horrible for some reason and I'm running the synergy r71.

Install BetterBatteryStats. Great tool for identifying what's killing your battery. You may post some screenshots if need be.

Yeah alot of people freak out when tbe phone gets to about 50% they don't realize that thats half the day usually. ... and it also depends on how long your last flash was it takes a few days forvthe kernel to settle.

I was using the touched by an s4 rom but it is no longer being updated. I tried cm 10 but couldn't get gps working. So I was curious what rom all of you guys and gals are using?

There aren't to many TouchWiz ROMs still being updated. ReCalked, JellyVerse, and Project X are still supported.

Im using Revolt, it works smoothly and has lots of features.
Im using ProjectX at the moment, but Im not sure how long ill stick with it. Battery use is horrible for some reason. I can go from ful charge to 70% battery life in less than an hour.

I get most of the day easy... It's most likely one of your apps running in the background constantly. Better Battery Stats will help you with wakelocks. This is today which is actually a bad day for my battery. Your battery also may be getting old. This is SenseWiz but it has pretty much the same tweaks as Project X.
Mokee 4.2.2 hope to upgrade to 4.3 but been too busy today
At the moment I'm using sensewiz..which is a nice mashup with gravy on side with great battery life

The battery temp gets around 90°F and the CPU at 120°F!!!
Is this sort of normal for it to be acting like this when constantly downloading? I'm getting a little worried.

Just for the sake of narrowing it down.
•Have you dropped your phone recently?
•How big is the file?
•Are you over/underclocking?
•If you let your phone idle and then check the temp, what is it?
As I type this, I'm at 85°/110°, and my phone is only slightly warm to the touch.

I rarely if ever drop my phone and I drop it either on carpet (that's my floor) never have I dropped it on concrete. Usually it heats up when downloading 300MB+ or playing 3D intense games. My idling is 40°C for the battery and 45°C CPU. Which feels just about normal until I download and use my phone.
