Super noob here. brand newe to all things flash Rom and what not. This HD2 will be my first phone purchased for the purpose of modding however...
After doing a search for the words heat and hot I was not able to find much, and the wiki is down
So my first post is has anyone ran into the isse of the LED blinking green and orange and slow to no charge while plugged into the wall? To the point where it no longer charges?
I work in tech support and ive never seen anything like it outside of my gateway laptop.
I was running the stock ROM no mods yet outside of the Android mod that is being developed. i have master reset the thing easliy 10+ times in the few days ive had it though im not aware of constant reseting having a negative effect.
Basically on my way home while sitting in my console in the car I went to use it and noticed it was warm past comfortable warm. I had not used it for extended periods like hours of browsing wifi calls or using the phone hard.
I went to charge it 20 min later and it got really hot again after only being on the charger for 15-20 min and had only charged up to %15 from %13.
Took out everything let it sit overnight same thing the next day, tried a new battery and charger ( even though the battery was barely warm it is hot all along the bottom half on the back and going up the sides) and still had the same problem taking hour or 2 to charge 2-5 % and staying very hot with no use.
Im at a loss as to what to think any ideas?

Heat will cause what you are seeing, but also check and make sure that one of your battery pins is not bent, seems to be a common problem ..
Also have seen a few people that their battery was just bad , and they had to get a new one shipped in .....

Sure cant make any promises but Ill be happy to answer any question I can. I work in Teir 3 PDA support so all of my knowledge is tech based. Ill look up the task29 stuff Im not too familiar with that.
since you have already tried a different battery, and if the pins aren't bent, then its likely to be the phones charging circuits. get it warranty replaced.

I checked and didnt see it any bent pins they spring out just fine when removing the battery and apon inspection seem to be fine. One of the 1st things was for me to try a battery in hopes that it was that simple but to no avail
More information for those that care. The battery has been out now for a full 24 along with the sim.
I got home today and put the battery back in no sim memory card stil in. After being on for 8 min the back is far beyond warm.
The memory card is not recognized and I am certain it was before. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I wonder if it has anything to do with me trying to run the android mod off of a 2GB card that im sure was a class 2 and below, then master resetting it and going back to the 16GB that came with it?
More to come as i try new things.
Now the high temperatures in Austria cause the same problems on my HD2 when navigating in my car. HD2 after 2-5 minutes blinks orange-green (no loading) and after maximum 10-15 minutes crashes and at home too (my little office room has no AC, is in direct sunlight and room temp is over 30°C.
Unfortunately I have to rely on phone, email and office-functions and on navi-function for my upcoming vacation. No solution to place the HD2 in AC-stream in my car with this stupid original HTC-Car-Navi-Holder, in the office I have to put it in the fridge before to get it recharged.
When driving in the heat of noon I don´t even have to switch it on, just mounting into the loading-cradle is enough to make the HD2 crash after 10-15 minutes, only 3G on, nothing else (no BT, WiFi, HSPA, no app running etc.)
Until now I was quite satisfied with the HD2, had no crashes or malfunctions so far, but now I am really fed up with this piece of sh.. and I don´t think there will be a hardware or software-solution (except swichting it off) since the HD2 is malconstructed. And it IS correlated with ambient temps since it started to happen only when ambient temp is higher than 30 °C. When I am in a AC-room everything woks normal again.
i think i figured it out! i took out the sd and used the phone for 20 min or so. the heat gradually went away and its no longer getting hot. i am currently posting from the hd2 with a standard 2gb card inserted and will test my 8 and 16gnarled card today.
there is an issue with certain sd cards not being "officially supported"....
I read a post on here earlier from somebody saying that their 16gb card was causing their battery to drain fully in a matter of hours because audio manager was constantly working through numerous gb's of music on the card.........
may be completely unrelated to your problem but since you mentioned the card I thought Id chip that in..........
Hope you find a solution.....
Hello,
I know, I know... old problem, yet there is still no definite answer to the question of continous random freezes. My HD2 is also experiencing them (worked fine for about 3 months, during which it never fell down whatsoever)
but!!!
I knew from a few days before the first freeze that something was wrong. The bottom of the phone was getting incredibly warm while heavily using the hardware (watching HD vids, browsing web etc.) Me being stupid did not think of it till today. So once again, knowing that my HD2 would freeze, I plugged it in to recharge the battery. This time - enlightened by the thought of old overheating problem - I put it right next to the opened window - it was -1 *C outside. Results? No freeze! Battery fully charged for the first time without a random reset! In my case this is definitely temperature-related problem, it could possibly not be just mine.
The question is: How to lower the temperature? I don't feel like using my phone in a fridge or moving to subpolar areas.
EDIT @28.02
So far my theory is correct. Once I kept the screen on for 10 minutes and was far enough away from the window, the phone restarted itself (and I was not abusing the hardware; I was, in fact, just writing a text message.) Normally it would shut down right after the attempt to load and stabilize the main screen, but since I put it right next to the window at the PIN window, it cooled down and now works fine again.

Maybe it is the battery, you could try an inexpensive replacement one from ebay.
Well, ebay is off the limits for me, but I will surely try some cheaper counterpart. It's been over a week and thus far my theory is proving to be correct - low temperature = no freezes.
The heat might also be caused by lots of stuff running in the background - have you checked this out as well?
Of course I did - Task Manager is one of the 3 apps on the main screen. I always make sure nothing is running, be it an app, or an unnecessary process.
But yes, some of the applications do increase the temperature, however I find that normal... well, as long as the heat does not make my HD2 shut down!
EDIT @ 09.03:
Waiting for a new batt to arrive. I just hope this is just some minor energy output problem and that's why my hd2 is overheating, leading to shutting down.
Got my new battery from a pretty decent company. Normally after turning off the phone and even reattaching the battery I'd have problems turning it on again (would have took me several attempts); however this time it went very smooth.
Any update on use with the new battery? I have the same overheating/screen lock problem with my HD2. Mine has done so after taking a call and having the phone up to my ear for several minutes.
Unfortunately it wasn't the battery. The most common circumstances in which my HD2 freezes is trying to use the internet, followed by playing music from the Sense player. The only thing left to do is to return it.
I declare HTC HD2 and the HTC tech support piece of junk.
Final edit:
Sold my HD2 and bought Desire HD. <3 Android!
I purchased a Droid RAZR on the day it was released and it has been running just fine. As of right now I am satisfied but I ran into something that worried me slightly.
Earlier today I had my phone in the Kickstand case/belt clip and hadn't used it for about an hour. When I took the phone out of the belt clip it was scolding hot. Battery, screen, all of it. I regretfully didn't have something to monitor the temperature to check what it had gotten to, but it was nearing pain just to hold.
Has anyone else been running into overheating problems with their RAZR of this magnitude or does anyone know any cause/solutions? Any input would be appreciated.
Sounds like you had 4g turned on and a lot of activity going on
also sounds like it got hot, i did not "overheat".
My razr gets warm in the case too... Does your case have a magnetic closer thing? Mine does and I am wondering if that is playing a part as I know old motorola droids (Droid 1 ) would not play nice with magnetic cases.
Mine has never been got hot. Not even warm...
But I've heard that many of you are experiencing problems like this so, maybe, it's my device the exception.
P.S.: Always running in HSPA+ with data connected. It got a little warm after 30 minutes of playing on WebTop (on my ATRIX LapDock)
I noticed this today. Went without my otterbox on an after 10 min of listening to pandora the thing was almost to hot to touch. Going to exchange this.

No it does not.
And there were not a lot of activities going on. Up until that point I had made a phone call. That was it. And I checked to see what was active and there wasnt aanything that shouldn't have been.

Mine is XT910 and it is kinda cold even after surfing HSPDA+ for 15mins. The 4G LTE radio in the XT912 aka Droid Razr should be the cause of this issue. I believe they'll roll maintenance updates soon enough to fix this kind of baseband issues.
My device too has been getting hot. I have the Droid Razr. It will overheat with no case, weather i am streaming in 4g or not. constantly losing 4g connection. also once it is over heating it will begin to powercycle. I have also noticed now due to the over heating the kevlar backing now has a huge air bubble underneath it where it has come detached. you can run your finger across hte bottom and just hear the popping sound of it moving around.
Check in Display Settings if In-Pocket detection is ticked. You never know. It is an active process if ticked.
For the past couple days I've noticed when I am in bed I've been using my fiance's EVO 3D charger and it's been heating up the screen pretty good, hot enough to really feel it on your palm of hand, not warm, i'm talking hot. I unplug it, shut it down and within minutes it's cool again.
is this an LTE phone?
I noticed the phone get hot (noticeably hotter than expected) the first day of use when I was hammering LTE and opening/closing things. I didn't use LTE a lot after that. I used the (google) navigator app in the car for a good 11 hours straight and it barely got warm but using 3g.
Since then, I've installed the leaked update which contains a new radio and updates the os to 2.3.6. I've been running 4G and It hasn't been anywhere close to hot. It might get SLIGHTLY warm while downloading/watching some youtube vids but it seems much improved.
No such issues with mine. Scolding hot? You sure you are not exaggerating a little?

Man, Razr has a high voltage battery..... dont ever try to charge it with another phone's charger,,,,
you can charge via laptop.....
My GSM RAZR does get hot, but after about 20 mins of browsing the net + chatting + fb all using 3g....get worried at times...but it goes off. just hoping for my back cover not to bulge, like some has.

Just how 'high' do you think the voltage is on the battery? I have used various chargers and they all work fine.
I had to echange my Razr after 2 weeks because the camera kept freezing but 4-5 times I would feel my pocket get hot. It was very hot and would partially drain the battery quick. Only have 3G in my area. I would reboot it and it would cool down.The new Razr has always stayed cool.
I've had similar problems in the past with my phone randomly becoming extremely hot and the battery dying within a few hours. I eventually downloaded an app called Android System Info on the market. It will tell you exactly what processes are running and how much of the CPU they are using. I found out that a process named android.process.media was starting and hogging 70% or more of my CPU at random intervals. After some research I figured out this was possibly caused by my phone attempting to sync with the media on my micro SD card and failing, but continuously retrying.

Disregard that message as it is ridiculous.
If the Razr couldn't be used with a standard micro-usb charger then they would have put a proprietary charger port on it. And secondly, even the cheapest plug-in charger has far more juice than what a laptop USB port provides.
When I first received my RAZR, it too became very, very hot at times. Uncomfortably hot. To the point where I feared for internal components. On the plus side, some of those 'black blotches' under the screen seemed to disappear.
As above, narrowed it down to the media scanner. Solution was initially to use the phone without an SD card, but that was hardly a long term fix. In the end, I rooted, froze the terrible Blur music app, hid as many folders as possible with .nomedia files, and used the feature of PowerAMP that disables the system media scanner for its database.
Have not had the same problem on 2.3.6 firmware, thankfully.

I have noticed I have been getting issues with random ghost touches when my XZU has had extensive use or just come off charge.
The one common thing I have noticed is the phone has been warm at the top left back of the phone, CPU perhaps?
I have updated to 257 and most of the other issues seem to be resolved. Just this one.
Here is an example : Was riding my bike with my bluetooth head set on in my helmet, I was streaming radio through 4g and after an hour my wife rang, took the call but the call ended prematurely. All I heard then through the headset was the beeps of the touch screen.
Pulled over and checked my phone and the screen was going haywire. The top left back of the phone was hot. Not super hot but hotter than normal.
Thoughts?

I've gamed for about 2 hours nonstop before, and while it did get hot, it was reacting fine. and when I say hot it was stull under 60.
If it does it again see what the CPU is doing. run an app like
'cooltool'
Take a look at this vid and see how to use it
There must be something making your device hotter than normal. so see what spike you get and see what constant you get also. My guess is that using the 4G modem, plus a couple other resident applications are spooling your CPU up to peak.. that along with 4G modem on full tit will create a bit of heat. In saying that ive never head of anyone having screen issues because of heat.
An easy option is to take it in to the store and seek a replacement. But to get to the bottom follow that video...
Hey everyone. I literally just got my G5 in the mail a couple hours ago and went through the setup process. It was plainly obvious that the phone was really hot. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know if this is a common thing or if it may just be my phone....
My LG G5 is not received.So I don't know.When I get it,I will answer this.
Mine gets a little warm after heavy use and while charging, but I wouldn't call it hot. Try pulling the battery and see if the battery is causing the heat.
Mine also got hot during the setup process. I was adding my gmail account and fiddling around with it while it was charging and it got noticeably hot. Haven't had a problem since then.
I was playing with one in the ATT store and it seemed to be getting warm on the back just to the left of the fingerprint reader (if looking at the back). I wouldn't say it was hot, just warm.
Most phones heat up a bit during setup, just like some do during updating. I'm guessing it may be a little more noticeable with the metal design.
Verizon unit here and mine was also hot when setting up but quickly cooled down. I will add that i did not have my phone plugged in when setting it up.
Mine was really hot during the setup process. If I'm doing nothing with the screen off, it's cool. But doing anything with it, generates more heat than I would like. Taking photos feels like I'm holding a hand warmer.
I read LG isn't aggressively throttling the CPU like Samsung so at this point that's what I'm assuming is going on.
It would be nice if there was a straight forward way to compare temperatures objectively instead of subjective descriptions like warm, little warm, hot, too hot.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it happens after your initial device set up. Normally with the LG's I've noticed that they get hot during a first boot and setup. The only other time I've experienced it like that is if I'm playing a game or on Skype.

after setup, (not charging) installing all my apps it got warm but not where i would have to put it down.
it seem that this phone have a lot of problem............... should i go pick up my package?
Verizon user here. I didn't notice anything warm during setup but I noticed on my first test call that after about 10 minutes it was getting warm to the point of being uncomfortable. I've a text message restore running for about 10 minutes now with the display on and the phone is cold to the touch. Not sure what may be causing the temp variances. An unlocked CPU sounds plausible which i'm kind of okay with. Has anyone notice poor call quality. According to the person I was talking to my voice would go through periods of crystal clarity and inaudible garble. Not sure if it was on my end or theirs. I'll return with updates.
Got my My LG G5 from T-Mobile... After 3 days the phone has been overheating, and every 10 seconds it drops Mobile Connection...I went through a plethora of tests with T-Mobile Support and they determined that I need a replacement device...so waiting for the replacement...One other thing, I notice this happened after calling T-Mobile to Unlock the device...So not sure if there is any correlation between my issue and T-Mobiles Unlock App, T-Mobile said the two were not related.
I did factory reset and left for 10 minutes after first boot then setup my credentials and left phone on WiFi for 1 hour before I did start downloading

The only 2 times i had the phone get warm was whdn i setup it up and when i tried to film a 4k video while charging it and it caused the phone to stutter and even the clips stuttered.
I think there are communication problem here, when people mention hot, how hot is it, as different people defines them differently, I know my friends phone is only warm, but he just say hot.
all the LG phones i heard get HOT or overheated. this has been happing for so many years, nothing new.
i notice this 4 years ago with my LG phone. i thought they would have fixed it by now.

I had the V10 for about 4 months, only get s warm, not hot.
Setup no heat, installing all apps for 20 mins no heat. Lots of photos not heat. Not seeing an issue with over heating
