Epic 4g Touch gets extemely hot and battery drains.

I have had this phone going on a month now I would say this problem started about a week ago. The phone (not on the charger) just gets hot and the battery life dips tremendously. (The phone is stock unrooted) I used to be able to get at least 14 hours out of the phone with normal use and 3g on, now i get about 7 hours before i have to plug it up again. The phone can be in my pocket idle and I can feel it heating up, I have never had a device do this I am at a loss right now because the main reason I sold my evo was because of the rave reviews of the phones battery life and all of a sudden that is just gone. I tried searching the forum before posting and found nothing with regards to this problem, If there is another thread like this I do apologize it was simply overlooked.
Any suggestions??? Thanks in Advance.

Could just be a Los, try sending a text or making a phone call the next time it happens...
Usually when I have a ghost Los, my phone will heat up and the battery drops. If you can't send a text, go to your task manager and go to the RAM tab and clear memory. That usually helps, but if it doesn't work, just reboot.

Usually when you have this problem, for me it's always been a program pegging the CPU usage. download system panel to see what's up

Thanks I will give both a try.... The los happens but its rare. I'm thinking of resetting the phone or returning it.

I've had it happen to me once, I woke up one morning and it was hot and battery drained. I noticed it had the LOS circle up top so I attributed it to that..........It's only happen once thus far.

It's not LOS I have service I can call and send texts but the phone just gets hot as he'll and battery life gets destroyed. The thing is this started about a week ago and I have not installed anything new on the phone it just started doing this on it's own.

I would not say my phone gets "hot" but noticeably warmer especially when playing some games. To help with the battery drain I have underclocked and undervolted -25.

The Facebook app didn't seem to like my phone very much. After downloading it and going to bed I woke up with a hot phone. Uninstalled soon after and works fine now =]

I started to have this problem after flashing "Rogue" kernel with CWM

It was Fancy Widget (HTC style clock) I don't know why the conflict started in the past week because I've had fancy Widget since the day I got the phone. Thanks for the help guys really appreciated.

Greetings All!
This happened to me once. While phone was in pocket battery life nosedived and temperature skyrocketed. Wasn't LoS. Looked at running apps/services and saw that AP Mobile was running out of control. Which surprised me since I wasn't using the widget. So I froze it and the problem has not reoccurred. It was probably just a fluke but since I wasn't using it anyway it seemed like a no-brainer to hide it.
Cheers, Henri

I had this issue once and found that it was the enhanced email app. Installed and good to go.

Happened to me for the first time yesterday. I was at 77% and my phone froze. It was extremely hot so I pulled the battery and rebooted. It cooled down but now my battery was at 20%.

i have the same problem use to get excellent battery life then all of a sudden phone last 7 hours i noticed on the status that the up time was 100%. it seems like it doesn't sleep anymore.please help

Something that I have noticed is that every time I pull the battery for this problem when I restart the phone the keyboard is reverting from the Smart Keyboard Pro back to the standard Samsung keyboard. Is anyone else seeing this? Could this be related?

It has to be an app that's killing the cpu look on the first page under my original post Hyabusa1300 (thanks) gave me the advice that worked. Figure out which app is causing the issue and uninstall it.

Almost always a hot phone means it is doing something in the background. Defiantly check battery stats and see what is running

I'm done 84 to 68 from Wifi/Music in 25 minutes

My battery went from 84% to 68% from texting, wifi, and music... (I wasn't even browsing the web....)
My solution... I bought a used ZUNE 30gb (the orig) for $60... I can't afford an iPod right now... money is tight....
I hate this battery... or phone for doing this to me...

Batteries are insanely cheap on eBay. $20 will get you an external charger and two or three batteries. Worth it. Changes how you use your phone entirely.
And the battery on this phone is still leaps and bounds better than anything before it.

Wifi isn't a juice hog...3G is...wifi will save you battery by keeping you off of 3G. Playing music barely sucks any juice at all unless you are powering huge headphones at max volume, and even that that's not that much juice....and texting uses 2G that is going back-n-forth anyway.
...something else is up.

Took my phone off the charger at 96% and watched a 30min video and after I was down at 85%. I was using 4g too.

yeah somethings going wrong f,sure.
I Tunein Radio Pro on wifi for 2.5 hours in the morning only using up 15-17%
During that time frame I'm checking incoming emails....usually 10 of them & Tweetcaster is full blast updating.

This phone has the best battery of any android I ever used other than the razr maxxx and I use it a lot

You should be getting much better battery life espeacly on Blazer

Sometimes the actual battery itself is just bad.

I always have issues like this with android phones... it must be user error...
I'm running Google Music, (now known as Google Play Music) ...
could that be eating my battery up???

Let's not forget that a weak 3G signal will murder a battery....weak 2G as well, though nowhere near as rapidly. Also some apps and widgets are notorious for sucking the battery dry...and there is also leaving background syncing on. For most people this is almost a non-issue, but, for some it is detrimental. Task killers are also bad news.

Did u check for wakelocks with other apps that shouldnt have been running some apps will suck the juice down fast ive found a few games with some dumbass updater crap that ran 24/7 and killed my battery and those damn airpush ads may only send u 1 ad a day but the updater runs constantly looking for an ad to push which is annoying in itself let alone the battery drain

That's a side-effect and/or another manifestation of the notorious Samsung battery bug. Ever notice how sometimes you reboot your phone and go from 70-90% down to 15-25% instantly? Well, I've noticed that it will also creep it's way back up, even under use....this sounds like that, though, admittedly I've never seen it happen at such a high battery level.

I mean no disprespect... but... I think you or your phone are on crack... what have you been feeding your phone??
That's it!!! I'm calling ADPS --- Android Device Protection Services!!! You will loose your phone if you keep giving your phone drugs... you may also face 10-20 years in prison for such a wicked crime.
lol, but I doubt you're on drugs... but I know that your phone is....
could you have charged it and not realized that you did???
maybe your phone didn't update battery stats properly and fixed itself after you made those calls.

Android, as of Froyo, revamped it's auto-kill/freeze system to be even more effective. It really does work fine. Just because something was loaded doesn't mean it's consuming memory and/or processor cycles. Seeing that it appears to be 'running' might piss you off, but, just let it go. If you start killing these tasks they will inevitably pop up again...that DOES take processor cycles and memory....so now you've got a task killer actively running, consuming memory and processor cycles to kill programs that weren't really consuming any resources that will probably start back up to see if they have to do anything and that also consumes resources.
that's the dumbed-down version so far as I understand it.
So, on recent versions of Android task killers can not only be unnecessary but also counter productive.

Overheating and led blinking

Hello guys,
Did any one of you experienced the same thing.
It happend to me for a second time,
While the phone is on charge to use it and this time i was using only the FB app to review some stories, when the phone became extremely hot from the back next to camera and also the display. And at the same time Led started blinking as crazy red&green.
Dont know which app u r using to measure this temperature but its definately not normal. Even when i play some HD games the phone did get so hot. Got worried.
Any experience or advice? Thanks

It can be rom or kernel related. Never had the blinking issue, but device also got hot. You can by try reflashing both, and systemtuner, free on playstore, is a good app.

I do have same thing happen on my hox...i am using viper rom and franco r12 kernel...it was happen when my hox temperature 48°c when i am charging and using my phone…i think it will happen when it get overheat more then 45°c...after cool down then the led blinking will gone on my hox
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

LED blinking just simple humanity notifications that the phone is currently oveheats. All lithium variants battery wont charge under overheated condition as the itself is unstable..
For quick resolving, turn off wifi could be a quick solutions..
To dig into root-caused, you may wanna check any mis-behaving apps before suspecting kernel.

Well my phone is with the latest stock rom. Didnt flash any custom rom, even not rooted.
Also i was only on 3G internet, bt & wifi both off and also with sync off,
As i said at first post i was only checking through the FB app some stuff, and couldnt believe that FB app can overheat my phone such for less than 10 mins
You are right that the blinking is most probably notification for the overheating.
Did anyone know what is the maximum temp which the phone should not reach? On gaming for example when all the cores are using.

On gaming the phone goes to about 77 degrees, according to system tuner. It feels hottish, but not to bad. I once had it up to 88 degrees while playing with a weak signal. Have you looked at what is eating the power, yet?

FYI, My LED will blink while battery sensor catch up around 48C.
FB App is well known lousy and slow app but it probably not the cause, what we said was to check against faulty backgroud app for your problems and take a look on battery stat find out unusual battery drainage.

Don't worry, I've had the exact same thing happen to me before, but I think that was ROM related since the ROM was in very early stages of development. I do also remember waking up one day to HOX overheating (probs never got a chance to get into Deep Sleep). It was so hot, I thought the internal components had fried up. And yes, the Red and Green Notif Light blinking is definitely a sign for overheating. So I quickly changed the ROM and ever since that day, nothing's happened. But anyways, you did say it was the stock ROM so what I suggest you do is clear the processes and look carefully at when it specifically starts becoming warm. It could be an unstable app you might have installed. But then again, the kernel could be at fault. Probably setting the CPU at a clock speed it doesn't require.
Hope you get this sorted, good luck.

hi guys,
thanks for the replies ,
My HOX is 2 months old and I'm not feel ready yet for custom rom, in case something gets wrong.
I have better battery monitor installed, and so far the phone stays in ~90% deep sleep
no indicates for interrupting program while sleep.
so the problem I guess is really with the kernel , when the phone is awake and using some apps ..
but every time when i check the processes there is nothing "extra"
i didnt understand how you guys measure the phone temperatures.
Regards

Yesterday i was watching a movie via mhl using mx player software deconding and after 18 minutes i got 58.8 overheat... My phone was extremly hot... But than i saw that mx player s/d its not for tegra 3 procesor.. Im using arhd 7.2.1..

Hello guys,
After second time my phone got huge overheating i start watching what apps & services running.
Let me share with you my findings so far.
I noticed 2 apps which constantly keep apper even i force close them, and ofcourse at the end i uninsall them,
And suddenly the phone started working normaly with no overheating till now.
Even if i left the phone all night with wifi on, sync on, after aroind 12h the batter was moved only 5%
The apps wich i removed were "bump" & the eufa "euro 2012" official app
Hope this helps someone else

My battery life

A few days ago I decided to try out ktoon's kernel. I was getting horrible battery life and there is a distinct possibility I did not give it enough time to settle as some have said. One person suggested I get Better Battery Stats, but at the paid app part, I didn't bother and went back to stock kernel.
Since then I have found the thread here and installed it to see what was going on. Fully charged battery unplugged and left idle.. When I woke up I had 8 hours of time on the battery and 92% left.. I was happy with this... A quick game of Angry Birds Star Wars later, and I am down to 88%... Now it has been an hour and a few random things later (Angry Birds Seasons, uninstalling bloat via titanium backup) and I am down to 78%.. 10% gone in an hour?
I am just a bit on the very confused side. I was getting 18 hours or so of decently heavy use prior to flashing a custom kernel. Now, I could just be checking my phone more and not noticing it and causing some bias here, but I am at a loss. One member seems to think I have a hardware problem causing my battery drain and that I should replace my device, but I figure it doesn't hurt to seek a second opinion.
As for the ROM I am on, it is just the stock LJ7 with a few theme tweaks I have done and removed some bloat.
Perhaps I am just looking too deep assuming something is wrong..
EDIT: I just followed a tip by Naddict to stop Google Maps from reporting anything.. Hopefully that helps a bit..

Same I think I get good battery life randomly like for instance any ROM or kernel I try I get random battery life sometimes 10+ hours sometimes 7 or less and I do my best at optimizing my phone to save battery I switch brightness to zero no sync at all juice defender ultimate was also tried lol

Could you post kernel alarms. I mentioned the potential for SD issues basically it works this way. You have cached information that doesn't get wiped the program accesses it and basically because for instance the ktoonsez kernel contains newer linaro or the fact it's based on 4.12 those small difference make the cache potentially poisonous.... another example is corruption of the partition causing media scanner to basically endless loop another example network spoofer if it crashes while running corrupts dalvik and requires a wipe. Or your SD card it's failing. Just examples

Forgot to mention, when I wrote the OP, I had already switched back to stock kernel. Phone is plugged in charging atm, I'll have that screen shot for you in the morning if you still need it.

I can't complain with these results here... Since I did a few things when I got up, I lost 1%. But over night I only lost 7%

What am I doing wrong. 4 hours after a full charge and I'm at 28%. I used the phone for a total of an hour today between Facebook, YouTube and Internet browsing. Almost dead, WTF!! Please someone help me fix this. I have each frequency undervolted 115 MHz and its pretty stable. I also keep mobile data always off when not using it. So why is my battery life so horrible.

I just downloaded it to see how it does compare to Juice Defender and DS Battery Saver Pro. I never really like Juice Defender and have been using Battery Saver for a month and it seems to help my battery life.
Once I have been using for a few days I will report back what I think about it. Thanks for the post tho otherwise I wouldn't have found this app.

Just installed this.... will report back when it's done learning and switches to saving mode.

Thanks for the heads up, i'll give this a try.

nice grabbed this up will be checking it out.

Just posted this in the Verizon Galaxy S III forum as well.
Still seems silly to me that we are going to have to have 4 separate discussions for an app that will work the same on each carrier.

I'm not really sure on what the value of these apps are.
Letting my phone do whatever it wants when I'm on wifi and my phone is sitting idle, my phone uses around 1%/hour of battery life.
Some portion of that is all this app could really save then, right?
Why bother if, in exchange, I'm possibly having delayed notifications, apps not updating in the background, etc.?

I've been running this app .today is 3 day (around) have not rebooted or anything using phone as always honestly don't see a difference yet..

doesnt do anything, i get about 12% drain in 9 hours when im sleeping, what it does just turn off wifi for me if im not in range, which is useless, having wifi on doesnt drain much battery at all

Thanks for the link! Will update in a few days with results

can't tell if it's just a placebo effect or not, but i feel like my battery life is a little better after using this app

I haver never once had a random reboot until I installed this today not sure its related just throwing it out there

After using this for the past few days I would say overall it is not that bad of an app. I am really starting to like it. My average battery usage went from 5-6%/hr to 3-4%/hr. I know there are a lot of variables that go into this but I would say it works as well DS Battery Saver. I have also used JD but never really liked that app. I will continue to use this app to see what the long term would be on here but its a good find in my opinion.
If nothing else try it out for a week or so and compare stats. I use Better Battery Stats to get my info from.

Has anyone compared this to the relatively new "Greenify" battery saving app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
Anything that suggests it saves battery makes me nervous. Because the only way to do that is to shut down apps. And when you shut down the app, it may not get updated, or it may open very slowly when you do need it, etc.

I did not like it much... i am guessing that all this app does is change sync frequencies of different apps. To do it it tries to determine your location so that it can turn sync off/on or change sync interval based on your prior usage patterns.
Once it was out of learning mode, i noticed that my s3 battery drain was quicker due to excessive usage of maps by this app.
I uninstalled the app... and have got my battery life back.
