yo people..I have a I9300,the phone fal in the watter few months ago,everything is working excluding charging battery,its indicating battery overheating issue.My questione is it is pasible to dissable warning about battery,switch it off or just delate some system file??Flash it in zip or so.
hope u would know how to do this.
As far as I know the battery temperature sensor is inside the battery, if this is the same battery that was in the phone when it got wet then this sensor is probably damaged (or the battery is damaged and is actually overheating?).
Try another battery first off, I would not disable the temperature alarm - it's there for a reason.

I have brand new battery there mate.The problem still egsist.I know that this warrning is for a reason.Im getting new phone so I dont care if I burnt it.Any body know how to dissable this overheating warrning??
You might be lucky,
I had that exact same problem with my sgs2 the error came up once every 2 minutes for the whole day.
I noticed that however, while running cm9 (10 wasn't out yet) it didn't show up, so I was forced into cm until the problem somehow fixed itself.
Try out cm10 and see if the error still shows up, if it does, go for cm9 then, I'm 70% sure that it won't show there.
Best of luck.

cheers mate deff will try it
In all honesty if it's water damaged then always assume the worst. Is there any way you could make a claim through your bank or something?
I've spilt wine over my phone but its been fine since, but it does feel like I'm on borrowed time.

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.

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...
Several days ago my phone started behaving strangely. Whenever the phone is NOT plugged in, the battery icon flashes continuously. If i plug it in, it stops flashing and behaves normally to show the phone is charging. Also, when the phone is NOT plugged in, the lock screen says it is charging. My battery life is dismal.
When i unplug the phone the battery indicator remains at 100% for a long time, but then drops quickly.Since this started i have to charge the phone twice a day with only moderate usage.
I am now on Shostock2 4.1.5 and Siyah 4.1.1. I tried factory reset, clearing cache and clearing dalvik. I also tried installing a different kernel (dream kernel) and a different ROM (aberration), wiping data, cache and dalvik each time.
I searched the forums, and the only threads i found seem to point to a bad usb port. One thread suggested cleaning the port, which i did using alcohol and compressed air. It helped for about half an hour, and then the problem returned.
Everything seems to point to a usb port that for some reason makes the phone think it is plugged in all the time...perhaps it is somehow shorted? So, it sounds as if my next step is to replace the usb port.
Still, I wanted to ask if anyone had any other possible solutions i could try before sending the phone for warranty repair and get the port replaced (or replace it myself).
Any ideas?
You are being kind of vague here. For instance. U say u have to charge it twice a day with .moderate usage. What if your moderate usage is 2.5 hours screen on time or something. To me, that means of course u will need to charge again if u want to make it he whole day. A bit moar info? Some cowbell?

Moderate usage means (for me anyway having the phone on, wifi on, gps off, no gaming. I only turn the screen on to check email for a couple of minutes here and there, and to answer the occasional call. Before the problem started my phone used to go all day without recharging. Now, even if i let the phone sit, unused, untouched, screen off (like overnight) battery level will drop over 10%per hour. I tried using better battery stats but none of the triggers have been triggered: if i try "since unplugged" or "since charged" or "since screen off" they all show zero seconds...I'm guessing that being "plugged in" continuously is messing with the triggers.
Still, the battery drain is not really the problem. The problem is that the phone seems to think it is plugged in continuously, even when it is not. It sounds like a bad usb port, or a port about to fail completely, but before i try to replace it i wanted to know if anyone had any other possible ideas.
People usually scrub the inside of the port with an alcohol swab if I'm not mistaken. Thought I've seen that posted, never had this problems myself.

My USB port needs to be replaced due to wear ( loose fit of cable). The ones for I777 I have found are $7.00 but are port alone, ones that are for I9100 are $15.00 but are attached to the ribbon cable. I plan to take phone apart to try to determine if the I9100 part will work. The price to have it repaired by MobileTechVideos is $40.00 plus shipping.

Definitely sounds like symptoms of a bad USB port to me. One thing you might do if you want additional confirmation, is to flash back to stock firmware (to rule out firmware issues...though I don't know of anyone who has confirmed this type of symptom being caused by bad firmware) and grab an older copy of BBS that will continue to report stats when plugged in (or maybe it will still do this if you set custom ref? I haven't tried.) There is a wakelock that will show for plugged in...vbus_present I think it is. Or you can also watch CPUSpy - if it continually thinks it's plugged in you'll get zero deep-sleep.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.i tried sering a custom reference in bbs but no luck. No matter what i try they all show zero seconds. If i look at the battery graph in the system menu, it says the phone has been charging non-stop for the past two days, which is not the case. I will try cpuspy and report back.
Get a tooth pick and push up or down on the metal insert inside of port. May take a few tries but will work. I believe it is caused by your chargers 5 little metal cables bent when you plug into phone...

BBS update
FYI - I just grabbed the latest RC for BBS, and it now has a toggle-able option to log stats while charging (with a caveat to use at your own risk...stats may be inconsistent). Might be another tool for further investigation.

I tried cpu spy. i left the phone untouched, unplugged screen off for about 90 minutes. Cpu spy shows the phone spent almost all of that time at 200 mhz, never entered deep sleep. So it does seem to be a hardware problem, where the phone thinks it is plugged in continuously. i will carefully try the suggestion above to straighten the pins inside the port..maybe they are bent and somehow shorting. If i screw up the port....well, i probably have to change it anyway

Well it's not my cable. What it does is act like it is connected with no cable being connected. Therefor causing it to act like it is charging. Then it prevents deep sleep and wakes and vibrates every so often. Really quite annoying and killer to battery life...

Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to view my thread.
Recently I've had a problem where my phone will get really hot around the camera area just from doing simple tasks like texting and then it will instantly shut off without warning. If I turn it back on, the battery indicator drops from 100% to around 5% and it will turn off again in about 10 seconds. I'm running the latest CM stable build and I've never had any issue with it before, this is just something that has started in the past couple of weeks.
I tried changing batteries as I thought that might be the issue, but when I place my other battery inside the phone to charge it the screen just keeps turning on and going to the grey battery and flicking off. Tried leaving it for a couple of hours like that but no luck. The battery that currently works feels like it's swollen slightly on one side (if that makes sense?) and so I don't really want to continue using it.
If I've been at all vague or you need any more information, tell me what and I'll try my best to get it
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
Your symptoms all point to a bad battery. If the battery swells then it is in a bad conditions. If you can spin thr battery on a flat table then it is not good.
A good battery has flat surface snd therefore u cannot spin it for more than half a round.But a swell battery in your case will spin for a few rounds.
Change a new battery to resolve your problem.

Do not use any battery that doesn't look normal or is damaged. Old or damaged battery's can even explode/burn sometimes. I have also been having this same issue but, I know my battery is fine because without a micro SD card the phone stays cool and the battery lasts forever but with a micro SD card the battery drops rapidly in charge just like you get from 100% to 5% in a short time period and also gets very hot around the camera area. So if you have a micro SD card in it take it out, at least it works for me:victory:. I've read that this is because the phone is constantly scanning the card (some glitch or bad connection) but i'm not sure. Tell me if this works and give me a "Thanks" if it does!
Can you try with a different kernel and see what happens?

Install Better Battery Stats and look at the process(es) that are not working properly and are overheating the phone, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the app if it's not a system app, or just flash your rom again to overwrite possibly corrupted system files.

no need of returning phone...i guess its one of many issues discussed over this forum..
1. It can happen because of a Kernel that u have installed that is not going with ur ROM.
2. It could be due to some app that is sucking up your battery and intun causing heating in ur processor..i mean some game..weather widget..Etc..
I would suggest that u can browse thru this forum for the solutions that fit u best..
i think its a kernel or App problem 4 sure..:fingers-crossed:
I am having S2 with ASNET MIUI V5 now and b4 tried several ROMS..When ever this heating stuff happened it was temporary only..
Hope it helps u in some way.

The first part of this really comforted me - returning my phone would have been a nightmare! It actually wasn't down to a specific app or kernel I think, in the end I just replaced the battery and it's working fine again
Big thanks to anyone who has helped and if anyone is experiencing the same issues as I am, read through the thread and try the solutions given
My friend and I both had AT&T Note i717's (about the same age), and I recently bought a Note 3. She is happy to stick to the original note, at least for a while (she is eyeing a carrier move once the 2 years are up).
Recently, her phone started behaving very badly (dying without warning, battery numbers seemed random, apps wouldn't update, etc). So, she's got my old phone now - we xferred her contacts, swapped sim cards, and I left with her old, badly behaved phone and some starbucks gift cards.
I've reset the phone to factory, and updated to latest official firmware. To a cursory inspection, the phone appears to work, but I'd like some sort of burn-in or diagnostic tool that I can run on it that will give me some assurances that the issue was purely software (if it was) or whether there was an underlying hardware issue that contributed to it.
Does anyone have any recommendations about what I could do to verify that this phone is okay?
Maybe a benchmark app will let you know some of the things your wondering. Check out this one.

Cool, will run that.
Is there anything I could use to cycle the battery a few times, as one of the issues she had with it was the battery behaving erratically?

The battery is less than a year old.
My friend had been swapping between batteries (because her phone kept dying - crazy stuff, like going from 60% to 20% and then back to 40% without charging, taking a "dead" battery out and reinserting it and getting 40% and hours of use from it, and frequently leaving her with neither battery working), and reported that she saw this sort of erratic battery behavior with any battery she put in, and the one I wound up with was the replacement battery she had bought a while ago (when the USB charging port was broken - she was powering her phone by swapping batteries while waiting for the part in the mail).
Basically, I want to see if we can reproduce the battery insanity now, with one of the batteries that is known to cause it.
If it cannot be reproduced now, that would imply that the whole thing might just have been part of the software issues.
If it can still be reproduced, that indicates either a hardware or battery issue - and this could be isolated by swapping in a fresh battery.
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.
