Anyone. Each else noticed that the battery charges strange..
With battery monitor the monitor is all over the place up and down
I know this is a bigger battery.. But did they sprint or htc change how the phone charges?

Mine doesn't exactly do that, but I swear I have yet to see mine say 100%. It stays at 99 forever and then the light just turns green.
That's how you keep a battery properly charged. You top it off every so often. You will overcharged the battery if you keep pumping it while its at 100%. So you hit 99-100 let it drop to 97-98, rinse and repeat.
Can I get a ROOT canal for my 3vo cavity?

No.
Li-Ion batteries and the chargers have a cut off built in that automatically do this to prevent overcharge.
I'll post a screen shot later if i can.. What application allows it with out root.

It's fine, once your phone is at 100% it'll let itself discharge till it is at 95%, and then it will charge back to 100%. It'll keep doing this till it is removed from the charger. Harmless is to say.
Someone already stated the answer in here.
Yeah, something is different though. This morning my phone was plugged in and everything and it hadn't hit the green light yet but just stopped charging. The battery icon didnt show that it was charging like it should while plugged in either. Plugged it in and it eventually started again.
well, my first evo3d woudlnt hit 100 and i let it charge immediatly.
my 2nd evo3d was used right away.. i let it drop to 5% then charged it to 100%.. this time, it actually showed 100% .. now the battery sips down by 1% at a time. feels good.. only problem now is that i have a different screen vs my first 3d.. the whites arent as bright.. feels like the whole damn epson vs novatec again.. grrr
There seems to be some logic in the battery charging algorithm that reduces the draw from the charger when it gets close to 100%. Using battery monitor widget, I can see that it charges at 900ma or so when just plugged in but this drops to a mere 30ma when it's at 99%. That's why it takes forever to get to 100%.

As the title would suggest, my poor GS2 gets VERY hot when charging. Not all the time, but often.
If I charge from my PC's USB, it doesn't, but when I use a mains charger, it overheats.
When I finish my night shifts, my battery could be down to 20%, so when I go to bed, I plug in the phone, set it's alarm and pop it under my pillow, like I have done with every phone I've ever owned without issue. I wake up during the night and pull out the phone to check the time and almost leap out of bed because of how hot the device has become.
To make matters worse, it's discharged in battery power. This morning was the final straw, as when I checked the phone and it was red hot, it was also dead. I held down the power button and booted up the phone. It showed 15% battery left. I know people say that when it's charged, remove it from the charger, but it isn't practical. Besides, I've never had to do this on any other phone I've owned. This is unacceptable for me to rely on any more. Is this a common issue?
Or my fault because I have rooted the phone the tried custom roms/kernels/modems on it before?

1) change to a diff kernel and see for the issue.
2) well charging from 10~20% to full 100% will lead to heat up the phone than charging from 50~60% to full 100% , hence also check for the same and see

I should have mentioned. This happens on any Rom and I've tried 4 kernels and still the same issue. Only thing I haven't tried, is going back to Samsung stock rom. Going to try that today, see if that solves it and report back.
Like Samsung told my wife "when it gets hot dial *#*#4636#*#* and note the battery temp".
Is it still under warranty

Well the PC's USB output would be limited to .5 A whereas your wall charger could provide 2 A. This might just be normal IMO, although I can't say that my phone gets ridiculously hot during charging. As others mentioned, I would check the battery temp.
The issue is already in his post and the solution as well.
1) The S2 has the tendacy to get hot. Its all very compact and there are no internal ventilators so the S2 dissipates heat to the rest of its body.
2) There is a Power difference between the charger and a USB cable. The charger gets hotter since it delivers power directly of a higher voltage and slightly higher amps then a usb port.
Your issue comes from one sole thing. Your bed. beds have very poor heat dissipating abilities, in fact, it has none. Considering no fresh air is delivered to your device, because it is stored under your pillow. Not to mention your pillow, the rest of your bed stop heat from leaving and it builds up. Ontop of that your heavy head is resting on it, pressing the pillow tight around the device.
in short, it has no way to relieve the heat. There is a simple solution of a non technical matter. Don't put the darn device under your pillow.
(the same counts to people that use there laptops on there beds pillow or covers without a proper cooling matt, before wondering why the hell there device shut down all of a sudden.)
The problem is you put your phone under your pillow. I made this mistake a few weeks ago and the phone was too hot but no problem when i charge it somewhere not under the pillow
I agree, I should stop doign that. But one question, if that's the case and the getting hot is normal, then why did the battery drop from 100% to 8% while plugged in?
Your cooking the battery, thats why.
i'll admit i charge my phone and leave it ON the bed so air still circulates but it did used to get hot. Not sure if any changes i've made such to things kernel, ROM, modem or undervolting has caused my change in temps but my phone never feels warm anytime day or night weather its on charge or not where as my partners phone (stock sgs2) does get hot using the same charging habits as myself

Another odd issue. If I mains charge my phone or connect it to my laptop(not PC the PC charging seems to not effect it) the phone lags. Menus take longer and it really struggles to register my touches on screen.

For the AC charger this problem is known: if the charger is of poor quality it will generate too much 'noise' (ripple) which disturbs the electric field used by the touchscreen. However the original Samsung charger is of good quality and does not have this problem.
Experiencing these kind of problems when charging by a laptop USB port however is abnormal.
Interesting.
I bought an official Samsung charger off ebay, and it produces the same results. Much to my frustration.
Leaving it plugged in all night however was fine, I placed it on a shelf and the phone was actually cold when I woke up. I'm just worried the battery is ruined. It seems to drain quite quick.

Another problem i faced recently was the battery draining to fast, i was told to pull the battery out for atleast 3 mins, this lets the CPU etc cool off, since then i've had no problems at all and getting a good 12 hrs atleast on battery use

Received my WCP-700 wireless charger and twice I have put my phone on the charger and minutes later phone is rebooting and battery temp close to 50C. I have noticed others having similar problems with other phones so I suspect it is a problem with the technology.
Anyone else having problems with the wireless charger?
If it happens again I am ebaying, it may be convenient but at least my usb charger does not cause my phone to shutdown from overheating.

I called up fazle and he says that his phone isnt as well. :bowdown:
I have the same one and mine doesnt overhead.
Surround electronics can mess with the charging and cause things to heat up. Also, make sure the cord isn't running parallel with charger. Check the manual to see what I mean.
Also the farther electricity has to travel, the hotter it gets. Try lining it up better.
I have zero trouble with my wireless charger, same LG wcp700 as you. And I've got a case on mine as well. You've definitely got something else going on.

Mine doesn't do that either. My suggestion is to pull it off of the charger as soon as you're at 100% and don't put it on until you're below ~10%. Magnetic fields inducing current causes heat to be released in the wires and surfaces -- it's something you can't stop if it's happening. I'm sure HTC took (some of) all the necessary steps to lessen this, but it still happens.

I wouldn't be making a habit of waiting until 10% to charge, you should get better battery life over the long term by charging before 30%
My phone becomes warm to the touch when charging, but not hot. I have left it on the charging pad while fully charged for hours and haven't had any issues with temperature.

I VERY much disagree with you -- all of the phone manuals etc. say to wait until the battery is dead until you charge. The higher the battery is when you charge the more detriment to the battery life. With modern batteries, however, it doesn't very much matter because they've been designed to be better about this and you won't get much more time out of your batteries by discharging completely before charging.

There are varying views on this, but I was told never to let a LiPo get completely depleted. Beyond all of that, I feel heat is far worse for the battery. It looks like I am not the only one with problems with the tech, others are experiencing the heat issue:

mine gets hotter than just plugged into outlet but not too bad. not like fire lol
I just got the phone today, and for the most part the phone has been great.
I got it on 11b, and was able to downgrade it to 10c. I rooted it with Stump, and used Bump! to install TWRP. I used Xposed framework, G3 Tweaksbox, Titanium Backup (a lot of bloatware disabled), and root explorer.
The phone is lag-free after some tweaks and all.
Though, one thing that has been bothering me is the overheating.
At first I did disabled Thermal Daemon Mitigation, then realize this was the reason for most of it.
Next, I reenabled it and it fixed the very hot phone (which caused my phone to constantly turn on and off. Like, it would unlock and turn off.)
I let the phone sit, and it got cold. I placed the battery back in, and used it like normal.
I plugged the charger that came in with the phone. When it was connected via PC, the wire did not heat up. I plugged it into the wall charger, and into the outlet. The adapter became VERY hot, as well as the ends of the cable.
I used my old charger (one I bought on Amazon, it's a pretty new and very good charger) and a different wall adapter. The wire and adapter are fine, yet the phone still runs warm.
I disabled most of the bloatware, and the only app I have that takes up a lot of up power and resources (though it's nothing to the G3) is Facebook.
Due to process of elimination, it cannot be the charger. So it's obviously the phone.
I knew it was prone to overheating (more than over flagship devices (apparently) at least), but is it supposed to run this warm when on WiFi? Seems abnormal.
It could be that I am not used to it.
TL;DR
The original phone charger runs VERY hot at the tips to the cable and the charging block does at well. I changed them.
(Even when not on the charger.)
The phone itself is generally warm, far more than most phones I've used.
Is my device defective, or is this normal for this device?
Some heat worse than others. Mine gets quite warm while playing Ingress, for example. The heatsink on the G3's is reportedly horrible generally.
It might be possible to disassemble the phone and apply heat sink paste or something to help dissipate heat better, but I am not sure.
Also, yours might really be defective.

You may have damaged something. Doing this allows the thermal sensors to reach 120 degrees Celsius and then the phone is supposed to shut down.
Mine gets warm, not hot, when charging. I do notice it charges fast, faster than other phones I've had, when connected to the outlet charger. The outlet charger I have is bigger than most that I've seen. I'm wondering if it's the fast charging that causes this?
Does anyone else think the G3 chargers faster when using a wall outlet than most other phones?

I don't know what happened, but the phone is fine now.
It gets warm, but I am going to ahead that is normal for this phone.
As for the outlet charger, I just use the USB cable to my PC and I haven't had any issues.
The first day I had it, it took forever to charge (didn't use the LG cable), but now it charges pretty fast and only gets warm!

That's good. Mine gets warm just charging, not hot as I stated. However, if plugged in and I start playing a game or something, then it gets warmer, but not scalding hot. Of course, that's if I'm playing the game for a long time.
I still think the wall charger must be charge it quicker than on the PC, but yes, I've also noticed hooked up to the PC it charges PDQ. I like that!

Had SkyDragon's custom kernel since I basically got the phone, so yeah.
It was thermal daemon being changed, reverting it fixed most of the issues.
The phone just gets warm, I guess.
Seems normal.
When charging the phone gets really hot
Is that normal ?
I am aware of the fast charging..
Sometimes i can't hold the phone when it's charging...

Yes, it is normal. Even if you turn Fast Charge Off it will still get hot. Also If you have Samsung Wireless charger it will become even hotter. So all in all NORMAL
