Awesome I found a way to stop making the phone overheat and stop charging while you tether you're gonna need the program nue dynamic clock @ http://www.nuerom.com.
1.when you install it go to settings, system, processor.
2.then go to file configure profiles
3.then file create new profile name it tethering and set all the options to 81mhz. youre done! now wehnever u want to tether set the external power profile to tethering and click save.
Now there is a way to set the phone to this profile whenever you start internet connection sharing but I couldnt quite understand that if u know how post it here
dont forget to set it back when youre done tethering or your phone will be slow
It works! My phone stopped overheating..it just keeps charging, im watching a movie and downloading at the same time..amazing who knew lol i was almost ready to give up on tethering altogether lol..but does this works with GPS and bluetooth? because i find that my phone overheats with the car charger..
Thanks for the tip. Don't want to see any flaming phones out there!

Ewwww ummm for the car charger I find keeping the power saving profile for external power keeps it charging in the car...but if you are playing music bluetooth it will skip or if you are using GPS it MAY lag if you use them both together or worst case stop charging. Sunlight through the windshield can heat the phone too at this point dynamic clock wont help too much if its really hot outside. So as far in the car I would buy the car vent hanger to blow some air over the phone to keep it cool

Thanks, works great for streaming audio into my stereo.
One question, I don't know if I'm dense or its the rom I am using, but I dont have a processor link in my systems file or anywere else I can find, so I just adjust from the clocking program. Am I missing something?
Thanks
PS Energyrom 3.0
thanks it works.
you have to soft rest after to see the profile you just made.
also set the battery and external power to tether. then click save
EDIT: it dosent work. my phone still gets hot and not charging. back to putting my phone by the AC.

make sure your screen is off while you tether, try avoiding talking for a while then tethering that really heats it up, close unnecessary programs, make sure the manual settings arent 528mhz and overide button isnt checked & if that fails the drop the voltages to level 0! it cant possibly overheat after that

You can use psShutXP to turn your screen off and not close out any programs that you have running. I use it all the time and have verified that it wont disconnect when connected with your computer.
Here is the link with more info. I have also included the cab from that post as well.

i'm a power user
i use gps, phone, email, text all day
i'm selling my touch pro because its useless
i cant charge the device because it overheats
the only option i have found is the mugen 3000mah battery
considering my total investment i have decided to go with a car-pc
have more features...more processing power...and certainly no issues like this
i'm really disappointed in the touch pro because of this
i thought all my problems were solved when i upgraded from the mogul
i'm going back to the mogul...its very reliable
i could do everything i needed without basic power problems
yes it lacks ram...but i never had issues which caused such frustration
anyways...sorry to be negative but this is the breaking point for me
i can see the touch pro being useful device...but not for me
i drove 1 hour on the gps and battery was dying...tried charging and it stopped.
i need functionality...
i could use the gps on the mogul for many hours...never having a problem.
the touch pro is unjustified
well it looks like in the past couple days no2chem has been attacking this issue for cdma users
i may give this a try...but my phone already gets really hot...

nueForceChargeOn 0.1 WOW!!! So they finally fixed it thats great I need to give them some money yay!!!!
Tittle says it all, phone gets extremely hot is this happening to anyone else? Should I go an get a replacement I am still under my 30 day...
Phone gets hot from the bottom of the camera up mostly basically the upper half,everything gets hot- screen, camera even worst on the metal outline around the top
I get this as well. I hadn't noticed it, as my phone has been inside an otterbox case since day one, until this morning when I removed it to clean the screen while it was on the charger. Unfortunately I'm no longer withing the 30 days. I read somewhere that if the temperature gets too high the phone will automatically shut off to prevent from damage, can someone confirm this.
@carlost24, I'd just take it back and get a new one, that's what I did.
Happened to me a few times and each time I noticed it the phone was off, and of course really warm.
I finally took it back after a week because of that and other random freezing and rebooting issues. So far the new one hasn't given me any problems.
happens to me every few days
battery gets super hot, about 50 degrees, using elixir widget readings

I can't confirm that it shuts down, however you will see the led blink red and green until it cools.
I've noticed my phone gets very hot sometimes too, though it is very intermittent - when I had the Shift it happened as well.

This only tends to happen when your bashing your CPU while on the charger. Very normal due to the fact that your probably not on stock speeds. Especially if your using performance governor, your just asking for a.meltdown. For me playing hi-res games while on the charger tends to shoot my temp through the roof. Try underclocking a little while charging or try to not use a app that requires a lot of CPU to run while charging. Also turning down your brightness and or disabling radios helps a lot also. Just to confirm, while the leds will start to blink green and red, the phone will shut down if it gets to hot for comfort. Most of the time I don't notice my phone being that hot due to the active seidio case. Without a case though I could understand wanting to know the deal on the very very hot feeling temps.

Strange because mine only overheats while it charges over night and ONLY when my cameras are facing down. If I flip the phone over no heat issues.
It gets warm if I play a CPU demanding game while on the charger, but my old fascinate did the same thing.
No it is not normal if it is over heating take it back get another one that is what i did and the tech there told me it is a defect on some phones from factory so if anyone is having that issue bring it back my new one is working better than the other

I saw first hand this happen to my cousins evo3d. I was about to root it until i found out he took the update and now his HBOOT was at 1.5 so i left it on my desk and left the room. When i came back the phone was extremely hot, i then tried to turn it on and nothing. Hurry up and took out the battery and let everything cool down, then plugged it back in and luckily everything booted back up except now it showed that the battery was depleted when it was full. Told him to contact sprint cuz from all that i read, its a known issue and they will replace it. Hopefully he gets a new one w/o the 1.5 HBOOT since he didnt want to go through HTCDEV.com
i have noticed it only when i use the 3g radio for video or anything that continually pulls data, if i stream the same video on wifi the phone stays cool.
This happened to me last night for the first time.
I had it plugged in it had been plugged in for about 3 hours. I was sleeping and I woke up to the phone beeping and LED blinking red and green.
Batterylife widget said "overheat". The battery was only at 34 percent and it was higher than that when I plugged it in.
My first instinct was unplug and pull out the battery. The phone was scalding hot! I took my TPU case off and the case was so hot that it was almost as flexible as a silicone case. The screen glass was so hot I could barely touch it. Surprisingly, the battery itself was not that hot, the phone was significantly hotter.
I left the phone unplugged and battery out for about 2 hours.
Everything seems ok, but IDK what the hell happened.
BTW, my phone is bone stock, not even rooted.
Like many with the 3d I was having touch screen issues. Ghost touching and inaccurate touches. At first it was infrequent and random but started getting worse and to the point where it became unusable today. I have tep but no stores around here had a digitizer in stock. My phone was useless so in a desperate shot in the dark, I tried putting it in the freezer.
That's right.
I took the battery out, put it inside two ziplock bags and froze it for a few hours. The I took it out. Left it in the bags to return to room temp and then powered it on. I've been using it for a few hours now and haven't had one issue yet.
Please note this might somehow kill your phone and don't try it unless you are desperate.

Mine usually does this when its cold. I have thought about replacing the digitizer but its not frequent enough and locking and unlocking a couple of times fixes it. I would rather deal with it then get the hboot 1.5 crap...

Mine was fine until last night. Now I can hardly use it. Landscape works somewhat, the only problem is not all apps support it. I found a digitizer+lcd with the full housing for $55 so I jumped on that.

Odd, I always have had some sort of problem with my digitizer when I go outside for a cig. I live in WI, so it's about 0 degrees out right now or colder lol (actually tonight it's rather warm outside but meh)
Anyway, About an inch below the top of my phone to about an inch and 1/4 my screen is dead, I could post a screenshot of it if someone wants. I've been thinking about brining it back to sprint but I don't want to risk them updating the hboot to 1.5 lol
It did seem to temporarily fix the device but came back the next day.
They did it to me I hnow have 1.5....they agreed my phone needed to be replaced...then said the 3D is on back order... They asked if i would take a photon...I said yes....that was a week ago....I called today and they said 'oh, the photon is on back order too' that was a 3rd party retailer....
So I called Sprint and there is actually a corporate store close to me....I'm going to get a new phone tomorrow, I hope! Any suggestions on a replacement if they still don't have a 3d!?
I had the same problem. One of the guys at best buy was tryin to say I probably dropped it... I'm like fk u, I got it like this... The other guy checked it out and said,"ive never seen this happen, but looks fine, physically I guess". Checked it for water damage and just replaced it since it hadn't been 30 days. Then I'm seeing more people with the same problem. If u have insurance with sprint, it should be somethin they take in and give u a refurbished one at no charge. At a Sprint repair store

I am an EVO 3d GSM user for a week.I don't have any problems with ghost touching etc
Is this a problem only for the CDMA users? Some of my friends also got the GSM version and also they don't have any problems.
My digitizer has been acting up lately as well. I may take it into a sprint store and see what they can do with it..... I don't want them to replace my phone with one that has hboot 1.5 or update my hboot to 1.5.
Be careful....when I brought mine in they tried to say "the touch screen is fine, it looks like a software issue..." And despite saying in advance, I left w 1.5 and the promise of a replacement which also came w 1.5

I take great care of my phone and this bs started happening to me.
Well, sort of.
My phone will register touches on the screen randomly if I smack the back of the phone (not hard or anything, just a quick smack, like sitting it down on a desk type deal) and it will randomly stop registering touches at all until press the power button to put it in standby, then again to turn it on.
What kind of crap is this? God I can't stand HTC's terrible quality control. I don't have a single mark on my phone. It has NEVER been dropped. It is in flawless condition.
So mad right now.
I feel ya bud.... I am hoping to ride out this replacement till my upgrade in June....

If I had to take a stab at it, that cold weather means cold fingers, which means no touch screen.... Which means it will appear to be an issue when in fact your fingers r just cold..... Try it out, hold onto a cold drink, let your fingers get nice and cold and touch your screen... No response.... But what do I know... I'm in Florida where its 80 degrees outside
I do know our phones do have issues and I'm not saying the cold is the cause of everyone's issue... Just looking at the big picture... Or trying to. Hope everyone gets it worked out.

A friend of mine has the EVO 3D (it's GSM, not CDMA - and I'm seeing a lot of you having the CDMA versions) and I am a Desire HD owner. Both touch screens are great! Also, I can use them with gloves (well, the place where the finger tips are, the material got somewhat rare). In any case, we are not experiencing any problems with his touch screen, and it's -5 to -15 Centigrades outside .
I'd say it's because of the CDMA?! I also heard that some Galaxy S (I9000) users were having troubles with their phones bought from the EU, then brought to US. Screen displaying colours/bars like crazy etc...
I'd say the network pretty much interferes with the internals of the phone. That's just my opinion...
Both the Desire HD and EVO 3D touch screens DO act strange, but that's when it's snowing outside, so the screen gets a bit wet and... you know... it's making it too horny to focus on the touches anymore... he wants more than just a touch... XD
This is an HTC issue, I believe HTC should almost have like a recall for this. Fix it for free. Not by us paying money to get it fixed. I'm dropping HTC phones and going elsewhere for a phone.
sorry wrong thread
FIX~~maybe
Ok so after 24 hours of testing I got ghost touches only 2 times.anyway my phone used to have ghost touches every like 2 min...
Solution: search for "pimp my rom" in the market.(it requires root access btw)
After you install it go to tweaks->touch screen and display and set min. Velocity to 2500 and max velocity to 4500. For your phone the values may differ.so feel free to test other values till you get the best results. Also max events per sec should be at 60. After ur done just apply your settings.top left check Mark.
If this didn't work it could be a hardware issue.but for me it did the trick.I still get some ghost touches so they are not gone forever but its way better now.
Hope this helps peeps.

Battery Drain is the same as my first phone, but runs a little bit cooler (gets to about 100-104 degrees). I only used it to surf xda(total of about 30min) and to make calls, so I don't understand why the phone should get past 95 degrees.
Even before I rooted and changed to new RUU on the second phone it ran a little warm just off a phone call (about 98 degrees and the convo was only 15min long).
Do you really need 3 threads for the same topic?
Battery issues. Should I try for 3rd exchange?
Heat and Battery
Going to exchange my Rezound
I think it would be as Apple says... "operating well within our thermal specifications"
It is not overheating until the notification led blinks orange and green...
I must admit I did overdo it with the threads, but I paid 200 bucks for a phone not to just "deal" with the heat issues.

That's the way the phone runs. 105 isn't that hot anyway. Stop making new threads about the same thing, and either pick a different phone, or get over it. I don't really know what else to say.

You are going to have to use your exchange duration until you find that magical one. Nothing we can tell you will fix heat issues out of the box.
I am not just trying to pick on you... the rezound does seem to run warmer than other smartphones and the screen sucks alot of juice when on.
If you are not hitting 120 you don't have a problem.

I understand, but I wasn't asking for a fix. I know the heat issue is more of a hardware issue then software. I just don't want to have to run into problems later if I just try and stick it out, but anyways I got the replacement and the phone is steady at 88-95 A LOT better. I'm Satisfied

your car heats up really fast as well but doesn't overheat does it??? It gets to a temp and stablizes. For mine, on 4g, it will hit 115-120 if I'm streaming, about 105-110 just surfing the web. It's just the way these phones are. Either deal with it or move on.
Mine never goes over 110, and has only hit 115 once, knock on wood.
105 seems normal.

I didn't know my car heated up fast lol. Ur phone is not mine nor did it stabilize at a certain temp... And no I will not "deal" with it that is why I got another phone that does not have the issue my old phones did.

ive never had the battery overheat issue but the battery life on the rezound is worse for me than my tbolt was. hopefully some future custom kernels will fix this.
My phone never gets above like 85. The only time it is warm is when it first boots up. Give it five minutes and it is cold as ice. Even on 4g.

I'd say 8/10 ppl's Rezound can easily over 100 while streaming/playing a game etc. It seems to be a norm for this phone... While on my Gnex streaming I'm only at like 86.
Ok so basically heres what happened. I download the app sleepybot onto my phone. (Can't link I'm new, its called sleepybot)
Last night I turn it on, it dims the screen down super low, I tell it to wake me up between 7:30 and 8:30, put it under my pillow charging and go to sleep. This morning I wake up, go to check the time and almost burn my hand because my OG is F'CKING HOT! I'm not exaggerating, it was hot on every surface to the point where I had to play hot potato with it, no joke. I'm drinking hot coffee while writing this, and it was as hot as the cup I'm holding, front and back as well as all four sides. HOT. I immediately unplugged it and tried to slowly cool it down by blowing on it (I didn't want to cool it to fast and crack the glass). After about ten minutes, I start trying to turn it on. -LG Logo, followed by black screen-. Over the course of the next hour I plug it in, put it on top of a fan to keep it cool, and try and let it charge up. Nothing but the LG Logo then black. No fastboot, recovery, or anything, but download mode still works.
So I go online and start messing around reading, notice that it seems like I've got a softbrick on my hands. Download that EZBin software with the LG stuff, put it into download, and after failing with the first EZBin I successfully booted straight back into my normal software using the EZBin(ALT). Phone is currently charging, running completely normally, and most importantly no longer going super nova.
Everything seems back to normal which I'm happy about, just curious if anyone knows A- Why my phone overheated to such a degree (Like seriously it was I'd guess around 180F) and B- Why my phone essentially soft bricked itself afterwards. I'm on stock ATT JB, rooted with a custom kernel, OC'ed to 1.7Ghz but UV'ed and its not on the performance governor so it downclocks down to 192Mhz.
TLDR: Leave phone charging overnight, wake up with it ridiculously hot and soft bricked. Use awesome LG Dev software to unbrick it. Confused as to wtf happened.

I'm drinking hot coffee while writing this, and it was as hot as the cup I'm holding, front and back as well as all four sides. HOT. I immediately unplugged it and tried to slowly cool it down by blowing on it (I didn't want to cool it to fast and crack the glass). After about ten minutes, I start trying to turn it on. -LG Logo, followed by black screen-. Over the course of the next hour I plug it in, put it on top of a fan to keep it cool, and try and let it charge up. Nothing but the LG Logo then black. No fastboot, recovery, or anything, but download mode still works.
So I go online and start messing around reading, notice that it seems like I've got a softbrick on my hands. Download that EZBin software with the LG stuff, put it into download, and after failing with the first EZBin I successfully booted straight back into my normal software using the EZBin(ALT). Phone is currently charging, running completely normally, and most importantly no longer going super nova.
Everything seems back to normal which I'm happy about, just curious if anyone knows A- Why my phone overheated to such a degree (Like seriously it was I'd guess around 180F) and B- Why my phone essentially soft bricked itself afterwards. I'm on stock ATT JB, rooted with a custom kernel, OC'ed to 1.7Ghz but UV'ed and its not on the performance governor so it downclocks down to 192Mhz.
TLDR: Leave phone charging overnight, wake up with it ridiculously hot and soft bricked. Use awesome LG Dev software to unbrick it. Confused as to wtf happened.

Wild ass guess. Some app kept the device wake locked at max clock. Max clock plus charging plus no air flow under pillow (best way to kill a phone is charging it under your pillow... Don't do it) = pocket inferno. Wouldn't boot due to over-temp protection working...

The over temp protection would stay kicked in even well after the phone has returned to a normal operating temp?

How did you determine "normal" temp? Exterior touch? Internal temp might still be high? Or maybe there is a built in delay? Like I said... Wild ass guess.

I angled a fan upwards and let the OG sit on it for about half an hour. It was cool to touch, not the slightest bit warm. I can see the overheat protection keeping it from booting, but it stayed 'soft bricked' for about an hour and a half after the incident, well over an hour after it had cooled. I'm sure I won't get a concrete answer which is fine, I was just curious to see if anybody knew more or had had something similar happen.
Which kernel are you running?
My phone gets warm while charging. If you were in fact charging it under a pillow, then it would cook the phone as mentioned above. Once the temp hits a certain point, the CPU will crash, causing a reboot, or sleep of death. Its not impossible that the CPU crash corrupted vital data, or a partition table. I'd say that's most likely what happened.

Moral of the story.. Don't do that again
