[Q] Overheating & Phone Stuff! - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Gday again guys,
Yesterday, my Nook Overheated and turned off when i picked it up, it was roasting hot and i could barely touch it. I charged it in the morning but when i went to use it at lunch time, it was mega hot and had 8% Battery Left (from a full charge).
Has anyone else had this problem, because i cant imagine it being good for my Nook.
The other question i have, is it possible for us to disable the Phone/Cell roaming & data functions on CM7. I dont see it having much point there, and its only using battery life?
Cheers guys! Steve

thats definitely not normal, i would advise towards going to a b&n store, explain your problem and get a replacement. sounds like a hardware issue rather than software. of course erase everything and revert back to stock before you go to a b&n store.

Sounds like the battery has an internal short. Return

Its never happened before just the other day, my problem is that i dont live anywhere near America! so i can just 'return it'. I am currently working in Egypt, and i live in England which makes things mega hard.
Is there any chance it could just be a one off?

Really?????

Since the standard voltage in Egypt is 220v, are you plugging into that? I'd be suprised if the charger is rated for that.

Stock charger is 100V - 240V, 50Hz/60Hz

One obvious question: Do you have a cover or case for your nook? Some aren't properly vented and can cause overheating.

Yeah dude I have a cover but I don't think that effects it at all. This has only happened once. I think a program malfunctioned and used up loads of CPU which overheated it. Do you guys use any task managers to monitor what's using your CPU/memory.

[Q] Did you fully charge battery before your first power on?

Just wondering what the spread is on people that were patient enough to wait for that green LED light before powering on your device as HTC's support site recommends.
I didnt. lol
I was playing with the thing until it almost died, then plugged it in and kept playing.
Couldnt help myself.
I just got mine and it's been charging for about 40 minutes. I'm DYING to turn it on!!
I wasn't. I don't have any issues with the led not turning green either. I ran it to shutdown day one and all seems well as far as battery. In fact, I'm impressed with the battery life which has gotten better over the past few days.
Sent from my 3VO!
If i had that kind of restraint I wouldn't have stayed up late to order the phone
My guess is that "No, I powered it on immediately." is going to take it.
It's been on since day one, save a few restarts.

This is exactly what I did, lol.
I didn't. I got 2 days on a single charge with heavy usage. I'm happy.
nope, got it and started using it for phone calls for about an hour till i got home then plugged it in and got all my apps downloaded and everything else set the way i wanted it.
Yep, came home Friday and got it off my doorstep to plug in. Got home 4 hours later to a full battery and enjoyed.
What is recommended for the battery? Should you start it when you first get it and drain the initial charge then charge it? Or fully charge it before using it?

Thank you, I just remember back in the day the instructions always said to fully charge before use
Did you have to calibrate the battery like you did on the Evo?

Phone not switching on: Battery and phone very hot

Just woke up and my phone is boiling, especially touchscreen and battery. Its not switching on, I left it on charge like I do every night.
Just to let you guts know, never flashed or rooted my s2. Its still on 2.3.4 with kernel 2.6.35
Turn the phone off remove battery and let it go cold .
Then connect to Samsung charger and see what happens .
Problems
One factory reset after backing up data .
Two try a another/new battery
Three return to service .
jje
Try with another battery, I'm pretty sure that that will help

We've had it happen when a app has "hanged" and not closed on Gingerbread. Haven't had it happen yet on ICS *touch wood* .. phone gets hot and huge battery drain quickly.. even while on charge.
Maybe a recent app you have installed has caused the hang?
leaving your battery on charge overnight is NOT the problem
I posted this few days ago, I'm having another problem now, unsure if its linked to this. But occasionally when phone on charge, I'm getting a pop up notification saying 'battery paused, temperature too low or hot'
This happens regardless of the battery or charger. I've taken screen shots of they help. Battery temp is 67 with condition over over heating. How do I solve this

Bump, anyone?
Have you a bumper on the phone or other case protection ?
Depends on which battery I use, if its the official 2000 mah battery then I use a cheap £1 mesh case. If its the standard battery then I don't use any. The extended battery is now charging.
A friend with a phone shop told me to warm the batteries up before putting them on charge and to my surprise its worked, weird since batteries were saying over heating

[Q] SII Sever Battery Issues after 4.0.4 and even while phone it is switched off

Most of Galaxy SII users have had good battery backup but not me, my phone once went into a bucket filed with water. Had a friend to open it up and clean it with a chemical (Usually used to clean phones circuits)
The phone was fine, then battery problems came up, changed the battery still has issues average time it lasts is for 8-9 provided i do not use it for anything but 2-3 calls or text. or 3-4 hrs is maximum. All this has happened after 4.0.4 update.

Can anyone please explain what the problem is with this phone. I am not sure if it is a bug/hardware problem. the phone is out of warranty now.
**I am a noob, I do not know how to root a phone however one of my friend helped me root HTC Wildfire which now has EPIC Battery life.
Thank you

it is common when you drop your phone into the water that the battery will start having problems.
For example suddenly you get a drop from100 percent to 50 percent.
I could be wrong, you can check the guide that is in my signature for your battery problems.

The thread is FAB! but like I said I am a noob hence doing everything you suggested is tough for me to understand. Looking at things like removing live wallpapers, stopping auto sync, keeping wifi and data plan off minimum brightness. I have tried it all. Still the problem exists.
Short circuit, perhaps? My suggestion would be to bring it to samsubg and see if they can repair it. I think it's a hardware problem

Seems more like it but they say there is a bug in 4.0.4. Should I try root before handing it over to samsung or just leave it up to them?

Hyperion 5200mah battery for 19.99 anyone have?

Soi saw the hyperion 5200mah with back cover on amazon for $19.99. Anyone have this battery and if so is it actually a huge step up in terms of battery life? Its double the stock battery but we all know what that can mean though so is it an actual good increase or no?

I have an Anker 5200 that I got off of Amazon, came with back cover as well. Cost me the same $20. And mine made a huge difference... Definitely twice the battery life for sure and the 5200's are nice because there not too too big.
I'd imagine the Hyperion would bring the same results.

So you like it? Gets you through a day and some orno? Right now if I manage to forget to charge it over night from the following day its dead by 10am and it sucks not having a phone at work in the prisons.

Oh Yea! It gets me through the day... right now I have 60% Battery left with 8 total hours on the battery and 4 hours screen on time.
And usually it's better than that... Just today I spent some time in recovery and flashed a few things so these stats are not even the best.
With my use I can get like 10-12 hours screen on time. This on an AOSP ROM running a custom kernel + Greenify.
It's definitely the perfect battery for me. Only like 2 times since I've had this battery ( about 7 months ) have I had to charge the phone during the day. And that was only cuz i used Navi + Listened to music + Some other apps all day non stop.

Wonder how much different the Hyperion would be to the anker. I remember seeing the banker on sell but didn't recognize the name so didn't jump on it.
Here are my stats right now. Cm11 and stock kernel.

You know I don't know how much different the two batteries would be. Both are very good companies and from what I've read both had very good reviews. So you probably can't go wrong either way.
I have Hyperion battery in my girls S4 and that one seems to hold up pretty well. It's not a big one however so I can't compare...

[Q] Crazy battery drain

Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.
