Hey there,
I got my HTC 10 two weeks ago and it's already s-off, unlocked, rooted, twrp and elemental-x kernel installed, and running some xposed modules (greenify, gravity box). I re-branded it from CID H3G to WWE, unfortunately without backing up the stock setup.
From the beginning I've had some random soft reboots which I think are related to the battery's temperature when charging, and the phone is being used for browsing or streaming. The battery reaches up to 44C and the phone feels very warm, both front and back side. The soft reboot itself is strange too, it takes a lot of time until the pin code is asked and after that there's a notification saying that the process system is not responding but it comes up eventually. This is also happening when rebooting manually, both soft and full reboots.
I would like to return it back to stock so I can ask for an RMA, do you think this is the way to go? I'll only be able to go back to the WWE stock, at least I think I can. Do I need to go back to s-on and locked to return it? Your help is highly appreciated! :good:
Thanks in advance!

Maby something for you?
And se if the problem is still there.
Thanks I will give it a try, although I couldn't find the RUU for my region (Austria) and CID H3G (I think it is .771). I'll take the WWE instead and we'll see how far it will take me

Try to lighten the load on the phone, clean install a rom.. Stock kernel. Leedroid would be perfect. Install only the apps you need from fresh and see if you have the same issues. Chances are if it's overheating it could just be overloaded. Worse case scenario is the phone itself. Hopefully that's not the case.

It seems that did the trick; I've installed the ICE ROM couple of days ago (LeeDroid will be next in case something goes wrong again) and haven't had any random reboots ever since. I've stopped using the phone when charging and now the temperature does not exceed 41C degrees.
The phone has also stopped stalling after manual reboots, looks pretty good so far!
Thanks a bunch! Have a nice Sunday and greetings from Vienna

Screen on and especially battery charging will heat the phone more than running apps. The case you're using will immensely affect this--aluminum dissipates heat; TPU is a thermal insulator.
CPUs throttle, as does charging when too hot.
44C is a proper temp for a loaded 810/820. If your CPU sustains this temp without down-clocking, it's able to shed heat properly. If you are under constant heavy load, you would notice battery drain before temps I would think.
A hardware issue (heat, power) won't perform a soft reboot, it will reset the hardware, causing a full reboot.
It's likely your ROM and/or apps: bad caching, bad install, bad config. I would RUU before declaring the device defective.

No worries mate, it's an age old problem with android. Sometimes you just need a fresh start.

I seem to be having an issue with my phone overheating and rebooting. It seems to happen consistently when using navigation or when playing games (I'm hooked on Gem Miner). Always at an inopportune time. To me this seems like a result of bad hardware or something but is it possible that rooting and installing ROMs like CM7 or Kingdom Stock Sense?
I bought my phone at Best Buy and ended up getting the warranty, so assuming I can revert the phone back to stock, I should be able to get this covered under warranty. Right?
My phone gets hot when under stress, but that's totally normal. But for it rebooting, that could mean bad hardware. What rom are you on? Some roms will run hotter than others.

Well how it is it getting before it reboots? I think at 119F it will reboot/shut off and flash the LED. Seems like kernels can also impact heat, as well as custom undervolting mods.

I was using CM7 for a while (pre-7 and up to 7.0.3) and recently tried Kingdom Sense. Under both of those I could only get a few moments of navigation before it would just completely shut down.
I actually just restored the stock ROM (though I'm still running S-OFF) and it doesn't seem to be overheating anymore. I guess I'll have to see what happens. It would totally suck if I am forced to stay on the stock experience after having been rooted/ROM'd for so long...

Its higher than 119F. Mine hit 122F the other day and didn't reboot, unless the safety shut off didn't kick in on mine. Don't think it is much higher than that though before it does.
I had heard it shuts down at 119 but my phone hasn't ever gotten that hot. I've only managed to get it up to about 114, that was multitasking and charging, overclocked to 1113.
When it reboots, do you get 5 vibrations and then the indicator flashes green until you pull the battery? If so, you are starting to have serious problems.

I'm leaning toward a hardware issue. The reason I say that is because I'm using CM7.0.3 and Chad's Incredikernal and when I use navigation I also connect my car charger and have never had a heat issue nor any reboots. I drove from SC to FL back in Feb and had navigation running the whole time.
Yea, I'm thinking its a hardware issue. I just downloaded Cut the Rope and can consistently get it to reboot/overheat after about 10-15 min of play. Only problem is that I'm not sure if the geniuses at the Best Buy warranty center will notice the S-OFF or not and if so how do I revert that when I don't have CWM on my phone anymore...?

You can get S-On by using the "S-On" tools by unrevoked, Don't think I can post links just yet but you can copy/paste the URL below, it should help guide you.
unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you should see a FAQ section.
How can this be removed or undone if I need to take my phone in for service?
Download the latest ''S-ON'' tool to a temporary location and follow the installation instructions above to run it. Once your phone is S-ON, you may lose root permanently if you install an official update
The link to the S-On tool can be found at the URL above, I copied/pasted so you would know what to look for.

I assume you're not completely an expert in this matter, but let me see if I get this right... I have to go back to having CWM on my phone so I can apply the S-ON zip and then re-run the stock recovery to get back to complete 100% stock. Sound right? I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't think there was a slight chance that I'd get flagged on the warranty review for having S-OFF set. I don't want them to have any reason to deny my getting a new phone.
Hi - long time lurker, barely ever post, but I'm gonna chime in here.
My DInc also reboots, and it is warm to the touch when it does happen. Don't know how hot though sry. I've been rooted since November, but haven't installed a Custom Rom, just removed bloat, and added some other useful tools. The biggest change I've made was changing the fonts. I don't over/under clock either (it runs just fine for me). My reboots seem to be increasing in number. At first it would be once a month, then a few times a week, and now a couple times a day.
Sometimes, my phone will reboot just once, and then continue to work. Sometimes 2-3x in a row, and then continue to work or not. Sometimes, it just vibrates 5x quickly, and then is locked (LED flashes), and the only way to recover is to pull the battery and start over.
Seems to happen MOSTLY around certain times of day - 4:30-6pm when I'm on my way home from work (no, not using my phone, but it happens anyway), and around lunchtime (again, not using it, or if I am it's barely). Other times it happens too - but really randomly. I'm ruling out different apps that might be triggering it, but don't think that's the issue.
QUESTION - if it is heat related, and the phone is supposed to go into shut-down mode at 119*, but seems to be different temps for everybody, could it be the thermostat? Could it be registering a false temp reading and think it needs to shut down? Has anyone explored this?
I'm not an engineer, or even a programmer, but I like to play one on TV. Thx
Oh - I forgot to add this:
There have been times when it would reboot, and I've placed my phone and battery (removed from phone) on the vents of an airconditioner, or even sitting on a frozen ice pack (the kind for a cooler) and it would still happen afterwards. To the touch, my phone would be cold, not freezing, but cold. Seriously lower temp than what it was when it was very warm to the touch...
I'm definitely with you on the first scenario. I just brought it to my local Best Buy where I bought it (with warranty) and they sent it off and gave me a loaner DInc to use till mine's repaired. They said, if they can't repair it, they'll give me a DInc2 as a replacement since the Dinc1 is "backordered" (aka not being carried).
jetsaredim - I was able to get a replacement DInc sent to me overnight (free!). My first replacement had a faulty USB port, so I couldn't charge my phone. I have 'another' DInc being sent to me now. Other than the faulty USB port, I haven't had any overheating issues so far (knock on wood).
First phone manufactured in June 2010
First replacement phone, manufactured in April 2010, and remanufactured June 2011 (via ##7764726)
I just got my replacement Incredible today. I just tested my original phone again by watching 15 minutes of video on youtube and BANG!!!!!!!!!! It rebooted as usual. Screen and battery get very warm. The reboots seem to happen when watching videos online or offline, playing games for 10 to 15 minutes, browsing the web for 15 to 20 minutes, using Google Maps with or without charging at the same time, and charging and talking on the phone at the same time. Well, I'm sending back the original and hoping that the replacement doesn't fail me. Glad that I swapped it just before the manufacturer warranty was up.
Have had the Dinc since week one. 100% stock - have not rooted (yet) and stock battery - in the past month it has 'overheated" and rebooted twice. Never happened before. Both times while using navigation and charging. Could it simply be the battery? It's not holding a charge like it used to too which also makes me wonder about the battery.
Ok here is my question - Two times i have installed CM11 roms, the newest nightlies, after wiping data / cache, using CWM for recovery, and rumrunner to achieve s-off / unlock. The first time my phone functioned fine for a few days, then began over heating and the top speaker quit working, started issuing static after certain apps turned on, or when the phone booted up. Also - battery was draining faster than i could charge it. Would jump multiple % points at a time.
I "BELIEVE" that my charger has gone bad, and that is the culprit for destroying the phone. Even after flashing back to stock, removing s-off and relocking the bootloader, it drained the battery(even when powered off battery continued to drain and phone was hot to touch).
After this happened to my first htc one, i returned it to stock, and got a replacement under warranty. Then i proceeded to root / s-off / unlock my new htc one, and drop CM11 m7vzw onto it. It functioned fine.......until i plugged it into the charger that i think is the culprit. After hitting 100% power, the phone started to heat up and the top speaker quit functioning. I instantly upon noticing this, used CWM to restore a backup of the stock software. Which did nothing to fix the problem, phone continued to over heat and drain the battery, only one speaker worked. I managed to flash it back to the stock oem RUU software and relock the bootloader, attain s-on before it died completely(so i could turn it in for warranty with no issues AGAIN).
My question - is this a bad charger you think, that is killing my phones? Or could it possibly be something inside of CM11 and PA gapps(4.4) killing my phones? I do not have a meter on hand to test my charger, so i am going on logic that it must be the charger. Since i can't imagine that cm11 is killing every m7vzw it is installed one, and it seemed to function fine until i plugged into that charger.
I love custom roms, and seriously hate all the bloatware that comes attached to verizon phones, so looking for some advice from people mor familiar with this subject then i am. I have only recently started customizing my phone. My back ground is in computers not phones, but seeing as how i am not tweaking the cpu or gpu at all, i am thinking it MUST be this charger. Please let me know what you think, if you have experience with this on a m7vzw. I get another phone tomorrow, and do not plan on using the same charger again, but i am somewhat wary as to upgrading the rom after all this crap ive been through. ANY advice is appreciated. Much thanks!

Are you using the stock charger?
Try a different charger on the next phone. Many people have flashed CM11 and don't have those issues so it appears to be your charger that's killing the phones.
Don't think it's the charger. I am seeing more and more threads of people running cm11 a d getting this overheat issues then phone dying. I think it's best that people leaves cm11 alone until it can be fixed. As I have never seen any other Rom act like this.

The only thing i can think of, after resting on it, is that i turned on the DSP manager EQ shortly before it happened each time. Not going to customize the one I am getting today. Just thankful I know enough that I managed to get them both back to s-on / locked / stock RUU before sending them back.....so my warranty will cover them.
And yes, i was using the stock HTC charger that came with the device. Wish i had a meter.
This is odd. I have been using CM 11 for close to a week now, and haven't experienced any issues like this yet, and hopefully won't. The battery life isn't great (and I will probably return to using BoneStock from @andybones ), but no overheating or speaker issues. I don't normally listen to a lot of music, and I have not messed with DSP manager much, but I have used it, and music/videos seem to work fine. I would recommend trying a different charger to rule that out. Also, if you are getting a warranty replacement, try leaving the phone s-on and stock for a few days and see how it acts with your charger - that will help narrow down the real cause.

Both phones are dead. Will not charge, will not turn on. They only worked for a few hours after the over heating issue started. Battery continued to drain even after being turned off, and after it was drained it would not charge at all. It was lucky i could even get them back to s-on / locked / stock. And the issue continued after going back to stock. Hardware damaged for sure. So no more testing on those. lol
On the next one, wait a week before installing a ROM, and see if the phone functions fine. If not, then its the charger or something else you've been doing with it. If it is fine, try installing cm11 again and see if it returns. If it returns at THAT point, then it might be the ROM, though I doubt that's the issue. You'll never know if its cm11 or something else causing the issue if you immediately flash it after getting it.

That is my plan, and i have other chargers. I don't plan on using the HTC one. Going to use a stock samsung charger until i get my replacement charger in the mail. I am hoping it was the charger. It just seemed odd that the issue happened both times after turning on DSP, then using the phone to either watch netflix, or listen to music on the speakers. Also, I figure if no one on these forums has the same issue.....then it must be the charger. In the meantime - I am just going to root / s-off and use stock software till next week or so.
I'm just getting paranoid as to how many times verizon will let me get a warranty replacement, even though i am sending them back in full stock format. lmao

They'll let you send as many as you want as long as its under warranty haha. I remember I had to send in the droid bionic 4 times and the droid RAZR twice, both times without any hassle from them. I just had awful luck with those phones, mostly screen-lifting.
Haha. Good to hear. Because I have 10 months of warranty left, and I am a computer modder at heart.....and that has turned me into a custom rom loving phone crazy person. :laugh:
Yeah you've got nothing to worry about there. Just make sure its back to stock. They honestly probably wouldn't say anything if it weren't, but we don't want to give them even more reasons to lock us down more.
I'm having the same issues. I'm on my 4th phone now.
This happened to me on several ROMs. SlimBean 4.3, SlimKat 4.4 now.. and I flashed back to stock while I had a phone that wasn't dead yet.. but it's still happening.
I'm not sure what the deal is. Just happens without rhyme or reason out of the blue one day.
Can anyone recommend flashing anything that might help?
What's responsible for the battery management even if there's no ROM installed? HBoot? Should I re-flash an HBoot to attempt to fix? It's not the ROM, I don't think. If it is, it's something that permanently screws up the phone. I've completely wiped my phone and went to stock. Same issue.
I got my new phone, and s-off'ed / unlocked / flashed cwm recovery, then updated it to 4.3 ota, no issues so far. Scared to put any custom rom after what happened to the last two. But having no issues yet with it, with only a custom recovery and s-off. Have rom manager loaded also, and made a back up since it seems to be running fine now. If anyone isolates this problem and can get a fix going, would make me very happy.
I've noticed that trickster and some of the other CPU performance apps are locking the min CPU speed at the max speed so the phone always stays at top speed. If it stays like that for an extended period of time it will damage the phone. The heat can cause the battery to drain really fast and damage the CPU. If you are on any ROM with a custom kernel I would be on the lookout for this.

I was running CM11 on my nexus Galaxy and I thought my battery was bad. My phone would die after a few hours. I got a new battery and it did the same. I installed slim ROM and now I am getting 10+ hours no problem. Also my phone does not feel like it is going to melt.
So basically I am running eragon 6.7 (dirty flash from 6.6~, was a clean install before that) and I have just started to have an issue which I am trying to trouble shoot!
So I upgraded my phone to this version AND dropped it on concrete on the same day so unsure as to what one caused the issue...... but basically since these events my phone won't charge over a certain point (on 3 different chargers/plugs/USB ports). Initially it wouldn't go over 42% and then I wiped the cache and squeezed the battery shield and magically (or coincidentally) it started to charge up to 92% but no higher. With normal use today I went from 92% down to 15 in under 9 hours!!!!!!
Looking at my battery stats it is showing as fine, normal voltage and no issues.
ALSO when browsing the web I noticed that the top of the phone (above the battery, by the camera and top metal edge/screen gets REALLY hot - this doesn't seem to happen when I have bluetooth, music, GPS and maps all open at once though.
So my symptoms are slow charge that won't go to 100%, QUICK depletion, HOT phone when browsing the web/screen on (above the battery) but my battery stats read all OK. Could the battery be at fault here still or is it likely to be another piece of HW damaged in the fall or could it be a flash/eragon related issue (doubt it).
I have stripped the phone down and removed the battery and can see that the bottom edge/underside of the battery's wrapper is 'crinkled' and malleable to the touch (but this may just be the wrapper), also the battery's bottom ~1cm is everso slightly curved upwards. Can anyone confirm if this is normal please? and if the battery wrapper is normally 'skin tight' against it or is some movement along the bottom edge normal?
I would really appreciate any help as I am currently sitting with a dismantled phone in-case I get any suggestions!
Thanks and apologies for the lengthy first post.
I would bet that it's certainly the fall that has caused these issues as the ROM has not changed that much, you can always go back to older ROM if you want to know for sure! I have not opened my phone yet so can't answer your other questions but perhaps someone else might be able to confirm this for you soon. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply, that's what I am thinking!
Update - I upgraded (dirty flash) to eragon 7 and issue still persists, I don't know if it's worth ordering/waiting for a battery only to find that it's another component that's gone or to just scrap it and get a new phone (oneplus 2 most probably)
Well, for the price and with the Eragon ROM the p8000 is very good value. The oneplus2 is a lot more expensive so you would hope that it's worth the extra money

So I upgraded to Eragon 7.0 and now the phone is charging to 100% but still draining very quickly!
Strange.... could this be linked to the Rom afterall?
Can you flash a stock Rom and see how that goes?

That was going to be my next try but before I did that I done a backup with Titanium, full wipe, clean install of 7.0 and a restore and I think this may have actually resolved my issue!!!!! the phone is currently saying 68% with 13 hours approx left!

God knows! I'm just glad it seems to be resolved now... although the phone is still getting hot towords the top when doing anything like browsing/navigation etc.
Hey guys, i need some help. Recently I Odin the latest Tar OG1, and used the debloated OG1 stock Rom that is in the Developer Forums. Everything was going well and after a few weeks I started noticing that my phone would start to lag really bad and then just freeze for long periods. I can't do anything while it's frozen and more than often it will restart on it's own. I've wiped everything and restored it using the Tar and even on complete stock it does this. I'm starting to think it has something to do with my actual phone but I don't know how to make sure. I had twrp and even that lags and freezes sometimes. I don't know what I could have done to make this happen, I had xposed installed, and i was running the beastmode kernal as well. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Update: so now my phone just cut and restarted again out fo the blue (I was trying to set an alarm) and my screen went black with fading lines on it, then suddenly it started vibrating nonstop., had to yank the battery. turned it back on and now it just restarts when idle.
One of my Note 4's started lagging real bad, locking up (requiring battery pull), and constantly restarting. Its completely stock, I've read around online that its likely an issue with the onboard eMMC memory on the motherboard dying. Only cure is to replace the motherboard.
I found a work around though, download an app called Wake Lock (or something like that), start it and set to partial wake lock. Phone basically runs like nothing is wrong with it now. Have about 6 months before I can upgrade so hopefully it holds out until then.

I managed to odin the stock tar again, went through setup at super slow speed just to be sure, and then installed the app. As long as i take some caution it is running like normal again! With the Note 7 recalls this really help buy the time I need before i can get one. Thank you so much!

No worries, I did lots of reading online and banging my head against the wall when it started acting up. It was really weird, it was acting fine one day, then the next slow, lagging, locking up, and restarting. I tried factory resets, reinstalling old stock ROMs, taking the sd card out. Finally stumbled onto a post in another forum where a guy mentioned that app. Since installing it, as long as I keep it running, phone acts like normal, that's about a month now.

Im not gonna lie, i don't know exactly what it does. Does it drain your battery quick by chance? Mine dripped from 79% to about 40% in the span of an hour. Not sure if its because of the fresh flash or not
The Note which has issues is my wife's phone and she is a "power" user, lots of screen on time (think her timeout is set to like 2 minutes or something like that). I dont think she has seen any appreciable difference in battery life, but I'm sure it does drain a little bit as the partial wake lock never really allows the phone to enter into a true sleep/battery saving mode.
I had freezes and boot loops, and it turned out to be a bad battery. Strange, right? But it's true. I replaced the battery with a new one and everything worked fine again.
The battery had just started to swell, which is a sign of a failing battery. So, even if the battery isn't your problem, it's always good to check it now and then for changes in thickness.
Hi Guys!.
Is anyone experiencing heating issues when using HTC 10?. My phone gets hot every time I use it. I'm not playing games, I just run apps like twitter, facebook, instagram. I tried to reset my phone to factory settings, but nothing happened, after some time (15-20 minutes) it gets hot again. I'm thinking about getting a replacement (a new one), but i'm not sure if this heat is normal.
I would appreciate any feedback on this topic, thanks!.

Definetly not normal. I have 2 of these phones, one complitely stock, and one rooted and s-off with custom kernel, and neither of them heats up no matter what I do. At highest load they become just a little bit warm. Otherwise, both are running cool. So, exchange it because it's defective

Thank you very much!!.
I was thinking that maybe, heating issues, was something normal on HTC phones, because HTC 10 is my first HTC phone, but after reading your comment I realize it's defective, so I'll go for a new one, I have no choice.
