Yesterday i flashed the aokp build 32 on my i777 and did a full wipe, i also cleaned cache and dalvik. While my apps were syncing from the play store i plugged in the charger and fell asleep, the next morning when i woke up i found out that my device was switched off and it overheated, like it was literally boiling!!! I quickly unplugged it and pulled out the battery, then i put the battery back in and restarted it. Is it cause of the ROM or anything else? It did boot up and is working okay. but i know this is might sound stupid but did the overheating cause any damage to my device? Like any slight internal damage?

Not the roms fault.
As far as damage, no way to tell for sure. If it works it works. The phone has the protection system, that's why it cut off so I'm sure you're probably ok.

If your phone was boiling then you must have left it under blankets or some crap as stated can't be the roms fault and charging it and syncing apps is not gonna make your phone boil.
Mine has done that from time to time. Nothing specific has set it off. It's always been out in the open so no enclosed spaces to blame it on. A reboot has always fixed it.
Sometimes we gotta make sure to plug the phone to right charger when we go to bed!
I had this happen once, for a different reason. I fell asleep with it plugged in and a game running, and sometime in the night it got pushed under my pillow. When I woke up several hours later, the phone was too hot to hold in my hand. I managed to get the battery out, and I let the phone cool off. I put the battery back in and found that the heat had completely drained the battery, so I had to let it charge for a bit before turning it on. When it finally booted up, it was fine. No stability issues, no negative impact on battery life.
I'd say you're probably fine, but the problem you're most likely to have is decreased battery performance. You may have to get a new battery if it's too bad.
well i had never put it under my pillow, it was on my table when i woke up, and yes i am using the right charger and when i booted it up it did have full battery and i used it the entire day, the battery life was still quite the same as it was before. im just trying to find out the reason for overheating

likely something got stuck running in the background that was keeping the CPU at max speed.
I was running checkrom and similar happened. It turns out something made Facebook not stop when I exited it and throughout the day it would get so hot I could feel it through my case.
After that issue I flashed aokp and uv'ed 50 and phone is nice and cool.

I haven't had any problems.
Working great for me! Only issue I have had with this Tom is that Facebook messenger apparently will not run in the background so I don't get notifications when people message me until I open the app.
Finishing a flash while charging then immediately resyncing your play store account gets the device very hot.
No problems here.

No overheating issue here.
Messenger started working fine after reboot. All good now.
I had the same issue...
I had a very similar issue. I am on Build 32 (upgraded earlier in the week from 2 or 3 versions ago). I was working and had my phone in a holster, got a call on both my cell phone and office phone, answered it on my office phone. About an hour later I was doing something, so I pulled my phone out of it's holster and it was sitting on the incoming call screen (from my previous call). It was completely locked up and pretty hot.
I pulled the battery and powered off. When I did finally get it back up, the battery was reading 5%. So what ever was happening, it was using a lot of power and probably would have stopped in about 10 minutes when the battery was completely dead.
This is not a positioning issue, or anything else like that. I have had this phone in the same holster since I got it. And the fact that it was stuck on an incoming call screen from an hour previous means that something was wrong.
I am planning on updating to the new build soon, but I just wanted to mention that this did happen to someone else and it was not "got too hot under a blanket" or something like that.
I doubt that I can provide any useful information to actually help track down the issue. I do not have better battery stats or anything like that installed. And the ICS battery screen just shows a complete drop from 60% to almost 0.
Thanks.
no heat
I'm on build 32 for a few days now and I've not had any heat issues. I do use ES Task killer before I park.

I have tried using AOKP builds right from the first one. Every one of them had this exact issue happened to me. The phone will simply overheat and the battery will be completely drained in a matter of few hours. I always do full wipe before trying this ROM. Never had this issue with other ROMs. I love the interface and features offered by AOKP builds, however, frustrated with what it has done to my phone...
I am having an issue with my MoPho severely overheating and shutting off. But strangely it only seems to happen when I am outside. The first time I noticed it was when I went fishing. My phone had about 80% charge, and when I picked it up maybe 30 mins later is was scorching hot. To the point that it burnt me. And it had shut off. I didn't have it in the sun or anything. It was in the shade inside a bag. I was not able to get it to turn on even with a battery pull even after it had cooled down. The battery completely drained in a matter of minutes. I couldn't even get it to charge in the truck on the car charger, either. It got too hot on the charger to the point it wouldn't even get a charge. This has happened about 3 or 4 times since. It will go from a full battery, get super hot, and completely drain within minutes. This never used to happen in the house, it was only an issue outside. until today. Went fishing, phone had full charge. It managed to hold the battery for a couple hours, unlike the other times, but eventually got hot and died. Then when I got home, plugged it into the charger and went to sleep, woke up a couple hours later and it was burning hot, and had no charge. Other things on it are acting weird now, as well. The screen keeps turning on and off every few seconds by itself. I don't know what the issue is, but I might have to switch back to stock if I can't find a solution. Because eventually this is going to fry my phone. And I don't want that to happen. It is also a huge inconvenience for your phone battery to drain in a matter of minutes and become a useless paperweight when you are in the middle of nowhere and need a form of communication in an emergency.
Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

Many people have experienced overheating problems on our cm9. Some people including self have fixed it by just doing a fresh install of cm9 as it seems like just a fluke. Im sure the fact that were running a gingerbread kernel on ics doesnt help. Also, try dropping the battery down to 1200 from the stock 1300, see if that helps.

Someone mentioned changing the overclock from the stock 1300 down to 1000 in another thread. Is that the same thing as what you're talking about? Or is there a separate setting for the battery? I did try dropping it down to 1000 but that's when the screen started turning on and off by itself. And LWP's stopped working properly. They would get stuck and seizure. Even after I changed it back to the default 1300. So I went into CWM and just reflashed the ROM. No more screen turning on and off or LWP's acting weird. But as far as the overheating problem I can't be sure I guess until I go fishing again or put it in another situation in which it's done it previously.

I work outside every day and its bout 100 degrees out consistantly now... I'm not running cm9 anymore but I've noticed I still get the occasional overheat while its in my pocket, it most definitely gets annoying sometimes having to pull the battery and let everything cool down but I think the benefits outweigh the annoyance level a million to one. I guess what I'm saying is you're not alone friend, it definitely happens to me as well. I have my CPU set to 1k though and messed around with undervolting as well and feel like I get a little better results this way. Keep playing with your settings until you find the one that works best for you is the advice I can give. Good luck!

Yeah its the same thing. Remember, our processor is technicallynot supposed to be over 1000 per core for a reason. People just like to push things to the edge. The whole lwp problem is expected and everyone experiences this with the our ice roms. That also is due to lack of proper 2d libs. But I'm glad most of your problems have subsided. Run your processor at 1000 and I'm sure the overheating will lessen. On a powerful dualcore phone like the photon 1300 from 1000 is miniscule anyway.

Alright. I will try it again. But I just love my LWP's =[ I always have a lwp on. I have never experienced the problem with the lwps until I set the processor to 1000. But I guess it comes down to sacrificing my wallpaper to stop it from overheating. If that's what it takes to fix the problem. Hopefully once the stable version is released everything will work like it should without having to sacrifice anything.
It did overheat again the other day. I did have Watchdog on my phone and I was on facebook messenger the other morning and it started acting up, I had my phone in my hand and within a couple minutes it got burning hot, and then right after, Watchdog popped up with a notification that messenger was above threshhold. It was running at 49% CPU or something. And come to think of it I would always get notifications about fb messenger "misbehaving". So I came to the conclusion that it could be either messenger or watchdog causing most of my problems. I deleted watchdog to see if it fixes my problems. I'm hoping it isn't messenger. Because I need my FB. lol. But I haven't really used messenger on my phone since I deleted watchdog. So we'll see. If that didn't solve it, then I will sacfrifice my lwp and set the processor back to 1000.

Fb messenger gets a lot of hate, i cant say thats your problem but you never know. Try out a chat client called imo from the play store instead. It supports fb as well as others and is leaps and bounds better than fb messenger.

Thank you. I will definitely try that =] Thank you. I really hope it fixes the problem. I can't wait for the stable release. haha
It started happening a couple days ago, but I haven't installed anything new, but maybe a few apps may have autoupdated. Anyways last time it happened was about a minute ago so I figured I should probably try and figure out what's going on. I sat down and launched a game. As it was loading my phone shut off. I turned it back on and put a song on and loaded same game again. I started to play and then it shut off again. Earlier today I was listening to music and was started a different game and it shut off. I turned it back on and relaunched the same game while listening to music and it was fine for hours. Any idea what it could be? My battery is also well over 60% so it's not anything to do with low battery.
Thanks.
i recently have this problem, some say that was stock battery problem or the phone is bad reading the battery status and shutdow, i am from Nicaragua and here is hard to find a stock OEM battery so, i try do a fix permission in recovery and the problem was solved , but most users solved the problem by changing its battery
good luck
This problem has come back again and has been increasingly getting annoying. It will now shut off multiple times a day randomly. For example I'll check the time on my phone and it will shut off. I turn it back on and as soon as I unlock the screen it shuts off. After it does this a few times it will work. I would then open facebook or something and be scrolling down and it will just shut off again. I'm running default ics rooted and unlocked. Never had issues before and nothing has really been added. I've disabled a couple things such as advanced task killer and single cpu thing with the hopes that it would help, but it hasn't.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Bump. Anyone?
Welcome to the amaze. Mine started doing it again. Changing to non OEM battery helped for a while but it's back. I'll never touch a ****ing HTC phone again until the day I die and I've only ever used HTC.

Yeah I'm thinking the same. It is so annoying trying to send texts when it would shut down for no damn reason. I am hoping it's an app that is causing the phone to crash, but I haven't installed any recently. I got a new battery a couple months back but I wasn't having the problem then. This battery should be a few months old so I don't expect it to be the problem.
Love HTC. (even though I'm considering am s4 simply for a change of flavor) but HTC cannot make a good battery. They underestimate by a lot.

Hello, just wanted to post here and see if anyone else was having similar experiences with their phone.
So I have the ATT Mega, and it has been working fine for a little over a month now from when I first got it, love the phone. Last week or so, I noticed the battery would seem to drain much faster then usual and the back top part of the phone, where the camera lens is, would heat up very badly even when not using it.
I tried killing apps, restarting, nothing seemed to work. I checked the app manager and the battery stats, nothing out of the ordinary but the drain was there and the heat was so bad you really didnt want to hold it.
I contacted ATT and they sent me a replacement which I received last night. I turned it on and was trying it out and within minutes that phone started heating up in the same spot too.
They didnt send me a new battery because oddly enough the battery or that entire area in the back would not get hot at all, only the top half.
I contact them again today and they said they would send me a battery to try but I am scared it will not work again.
I also have a 64gb SD card that I use, but it is the same one I have used in my Note 2 and now this phone with no problem. I am currently using a Note 3 with the same SD and have no issues.
I would love to go back to my Mega though, I actually prefer it to my Note 3 but I am worried about this issue reoccuring or not getting fixed in the first place. Anyone else have anything similar to this with their Mega??

I have noticed it gets warm, but only when streaming videos. Just browsing the web or listening to music/iheartradio, nothing gets uncomfortable. I just notice the warmth after many minutes of streaming. Not uncomfortable either. Now I do have a case on it, so maybe that's why it doesn't seem as bad.
I have an i9205, but it's basically identical hardware. I've never had any overheating issues of any kind. Recently I've been running the "performance" CPU governor too, which locks the CPU at 1.7ghz constantly and yet I've never been able to make the phone throttle itself back.
Thanks for the responses! I am having ATT ship me a replacement battery to try that, hopefully it arrives today. I just dont understand why it would heat up so badly on both my original phone and their replacement one for me. I would think it has to be the battery or the SD card, but the card has no issues in my Note 3 and it didnt have problems in my original Mega for a month.
Crossing my fingers that it is just the battery so I can go back to using my Mega, I miss it -.-
I noticed my Mega getting warm in the same location last night, but didn't have battery drain. This is a replacement Mega since I bricked my pervious one, but never had that problem with that phone. Today, after being fully charged and not used while at work, I checked my phone and it was 15% and warm. So I turned off WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth and plugged it in a 1 amp charger, 13% and still warm after a few minutes. Airplane mode, 12% and still warm after a few minutes. Turned the phone off and charging for an hour, phone is cool and 37% (makes since). Phone has been on, charging, and WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth turned off for 43 minutes, phone is cool and 56%. Now I'm turning WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth on individually to see if it repeats. I'll keep you posted on my results.
Thanks! I will wait to see your results!
Ive no issue with mine...
Well, sorry to say, it's been almost a month of me playing with this phone trying to duplicate my one time overheating with no luck. I've WiFi streamed for hours, transfered huge files over BT, viewed videos, and anything else I can think of with nothing. Maybe it was a fluke...who knows.

My friend kind of had the similar situation... in his case he changed the phone
My Samsung Galaxy 6.3 is getting hot on the ear piece and the back of the phone where the camera lense is. What's the problem? I need to know if I need a new battery or if it's the Motherboard I need to replace and will the phone blow up in my face till I fix this problem?
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me...I'm at a total loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
About a month ago my i717 Note started having issues where I'd be using it and suddenly just power off without warning. When I try to reboot it without being connected to wall charger, it very rarely boot back up, usually dies again mid boot.
If it's actively being powered to the wall/USB the issue has never happened...Most of the time after this happens the battery will indicate that it is actually completely drained ie 0% batter life...however sometimes once it's plugged in it will show some other % that isn't even low battery.
This issue occurs even though I could have 90% battery life prior to the crash. My battery stats in settings shows normal discharge, then just a straight veritical line to 0% followed by the normal recharging...
I have 2 batteries, both Samsung OEM so I cannot think both my batteries happened to crap out at same time.
I had been on Black Jelly for many months without any sort of issue, then suddenly this. I have tried these things, to no effect at all:
- delete batterystats.bin in /system/data
- added several layers of tape on the bottom of battery to ensure has full/tight contact with pins
- loaded several different ROMs
- Completely wiped (Factory Reset, Cache, Data, System...and eventually even did Internal and External Memory wipes from TWRP)
- Odined back to Stock 4.1.2 image
The last application I loaded was Google Hangouts and was also the application I first noticed the issue. I video chat with my parents with it and first noticed it happen there which thought was odd since phone never warned me for low battery...however now it happens all the time despite all the steps I took above plus I don't have Hangouts loaded on the phone atm.
I am currently running Stock 4.1.2 and it's still happening there. As is I cannot use my phone for probably more than 5 minutes without this happening. If I can't solve this I'm going to have to go back to my Cappy which just makes me sad since my Note had been a good phone previously.
Since it's happening across ROMs and after total wipe (if there is any more wiping I should do that might help let me know), plus Odin back to Stock I feel as though it must be some sort of crazy hardware issue. I've only ever seen this happen when I'm actively using the device...it hasn't happened when in in sleep mode (ie screen is off).
Any ideas?
TIA
I agree this happening with 2 batteries is hard to believe, but I will ask anyway.
How old are the batteries? They are notorious to go south after about a year.
Are they swollen at all.

Thanks for the reply...
They both 2+ years old now. No bulging they would appear to be in good shape. I've never had excessive battery drain before, and currently when the issue is not happening the battery life is ok. IE if I don't use my phone at all, battery drain is about what I'd expect. I haven't seen the issue happen when it's sleeping, just if I'm actively using the phone.
Sometimes the issue doesn't happen, and it'll discharge all the way down to 0% normally...it's so random and frustrating...I do know that if I use my phone non-stop for probably about 10 minutes it's going to happen though, usually in less than 5 minutes. Again, I don't see the drain, it looks like normal discharge and I'll go from 75% -> phone off in the blink of an eye. Oddly if I then plug it in the battery charging icon you get (when is powered off) sometimes indicates it's actually not empty.
Also of note when it does happen the phone isn't hot, I can handle the battery fine. Also I have the OEM wall charger for the extra battery, so I know that the battery should be getting fully charged from that (so isn't a USB charge issue on the phone itself).
Is there a good battery stats app I can try? The battery stats in sys settings doesn't show anything hogging.
Thanks again.
All those apps are going to do same thing and I don't put a lot faith in them. 2 years is a long time for battery. Mine went south at about a year and went bad in a hurry. Running KK doesn't help either, it's a real battery sucker on our notes.
You are not the first to run into this issue with those symptoms. I believe more often than not, resolved with new battery. I just got one myself from Amazon for $9. Ravpower 2750 I think. There is a thread in accessories.

Fair enough I may try that...
The other thing that happened that maybe points to hardware is that previous to all this happening I got a bunch of errors when Play would try to auto update my apps, saying there wasn't enough space. I was on vacation at the time, so I didn't have any time to try to figure it out. Then this battery thing started happening. Not sure how it could be related, but maybe my RAM is fubar.
I'm getting my Cappy back from a friend so I may try that first, I kinda miss that phone...
Thanks again

Well, another thing that needs to happen every now and again, is going completely back to stock. Re root and everything. Completely clean the pipes. It does wonders.
