Wireless Charger Overheating Battery - HTC Droid DNA

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.

Did it again, no more wireless charging for me...

My WCP-700 isn't overheating my phone at all.

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:

Hot device when charging.

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

Using as DNA as GPS is a no go, Heat Issues, battery drain and not charging !

Today I took my DNA for a spin using google maps. And to power the beast I used a 2000mA momax charger. To my surprise halfway through the trip I noticed my battery level had halved. I remember seeing the charging icon on the battery so thought ok its charging it.
But when we arrived after a 45 mintue drive i lost over 50% battery It seemed it wasn't charging after all. The phone was extremely hot
Did it get too hot possibly while driving and stop the battery from charging as a thermal safe guard from overheating? I'm on the stock kernel. Anyone had this issues like this? And does anyone know the MA rating of the official DNA charger? I'm in New Zealand so i cant just pick up the official charger or anything like that.
If i cant use the GPS without the phone charging it will make it unuseable on long trips
Edit: Problem found, phones gets too hot on the dash and running GPS it will throttle and not allow the battery to charge. Thumbs down to HTC making a phone with GPS that can't be used for more than 20 minutes or your phone overheats.

the rating on the HTC charger is 1000mah.. one thing i have noticed that some higher MAH chargers will actually cause the phone to charge in "USB" mode.. when you plug that charger in check the battery settings screen and at the top it should say charging AC or USB.. if it says USB then that is likely your problem since USB charging mode is much slower than AC charging mode.
Awesome tip. Never knew that, thanks!
Wow thanks very useful info indeed. I think i might be over doing it and making it overheat. I will try a 1000mAh charger in a few days and see if that solves the issues!
So the problem doesn't lie with the actual mA output of the charger, but with the way the charger is physically pinned out. On "fast" chargers, that is, chargers that can deliver more than 500mA of current, the center two data pins, D+ and D- are shorted. This short tells the phone that it's plugged into a dummy charger and allows it to draw more current (I believe the DNA can draw a max of 1 amp when in AC or fast charge mode). In a computer USB port, these two pins obviously aren't shorted as they are the data pins. Without the short being present, the phone assumes it is plugged into a computer where USB 2.0 specifications allow for a maximum of 500mA of current draw, so the phone software limits the charging rate to 500mA. The flaw in many aftermarket chargers, even the super high power ones, is they omit shorting the center two pins, resulting in the phone only allowing 500mA of current draw. This is a problem with both car chargers and some home chargers, especially the multi-port chargers designed for iPads and smartphones. Apple uses a different pinout for their high speed charging that isn't as simple as shorting the two data pins, so many Apple branded or "compatible" chargers don't put Android devices into fast charge mode.
For a car charger, my personal favorite is this Motorola one from Amazon. It provides up to 950mA of current, is genuine Motorola OEM so it's built well, and best of all is only $5 with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. The only drawback is the LED is kinda bright and annoying, but I keep it in the outlet inside the center console so I never see it. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1356666975&sr=1-1&keywords=spn5400
Yeah I use that charger too. Works well. I recently bought a dual USB output one that claims it puts out 1amp..but my phone shows USB mode. Is it only putting out 500 then?

Your phone is only drawing 500... I have a qmadix 2 amp micro usb with an extra usb port and it puts out plenty of power to charge 2 phones while using gps and listening to music.

Thanks for the info, still not luck for me. I brought a brand name 1 amp charger and used it again. It charges well to begin with. But after about 10 minutes the notification LED in the phone will start to flash .... Then it seems my DNA is not charging at all. Status bar tells me in the beginning it was not on USB charge. After the 10 minutes no charging detected at all. Its as if the droid disables charging.
I will check the cable too again and see if that was the issue. It might be the charger and or cable. But the first charger charged my Note II without any issues and fast. It never lost battery %
And again my DNA was scorching hot. Which seems to me more of an a throttling thermal issue. Its reaches xx temp and charging is disabled. Does the flashing led mean something? It was a sunny day and its summer here in New Zealand so the droid just got too hot maybe? Being black on the car dash in the sun cant help it.
I love this phone, and have my note II up for sale but if i cant fix this issue it seems GPS and Nav is a no go for me. Which is not good. I travel a lot.
Update,
I did some further testing and the news is bad I used my standard HTC DNA charger, and tried to repeat the conditions. Got my phone hot and low and behold. On the charger it will stop charging once the phone gets too hot. It will flash a green light, then orange, and repeat.
in other words if you want to use this phone in summer on your dash as a GPS you might want to think about running the A/C on it at all times
Can other please test this? Maybe i just have a faulty CPU, but i think its a built in thermal safetly feature once the CPU gets too hot it will not allow you to charge it. So in other words if you want to use this phone in summer with sunlight on your dash as a Nav/GPS think again ;(

This sounds right to me. My last 2 devices had the exact same issue when heating up. I do believe that fast charging really heats up the battery, so once it hits a threshold, it stops drawing power in order to cool off. Don't want a battery exploding in your phone.
The GPS radio can sometimes draw a bit of power, though it is much less on newer phones.
I digress, I really do think that in most cases, heat is the issue.
Its a very sad state of affairs, I cant use this phone as satnav / GPS without loosing a lot of battery life. Seems its only good for winter GPS when used on the dash in the sun of summer it will just over heat and not charge. Very poor if you ask me.

Try testing your phone at 'room temperature' (75 F, 30C), if your phone overheats using the GPS in this case, then you should return the phone because it is not normal.
If it is overheating on a hot dash board, ALL of my phones have done that. You can try blasting the wind shield vents to counteract the heat.
The DNA is normally great, but either your expectations are a tad unrealistic or your phone needs to be swapped.
A solution would be to mount it in a way that isn't in direct sunlight, like using one of those vent-mounted adapters. Then if it got hot, you could put the air on and it would cool it down.
Another option would be to either turn the brightness down, or to completely turn off the display, unless of course you have no idea where you are, and need more than just the audible directions.
But really, it sounds to me like your specific phone is just prone to overheating, and needs to go back. I haven't had any temperature-related functional issues at all.
Sure, it's gotten warm. But it's never failed me as a result of being too hot.

Well its summer here and its not taking the suns heat and being black doesn't help. I will see if I can move its position or place it over the A/c vent of the windscreen.
Wait till summer in the U.S and you will see more threads like these i think. I only comment its poor because no other phone of mine has done this in the past. Maybe mine is faulty.
Used mine for over three hours (one-way) using GPS/Maps full blown with no trouble or heat at all. I was also texting, surfing, playing games and talking on the phone at various times and had to plug in after awhile using the usual car charger. I don't like to get below 50% if I don't have to. Anyway, no trouble on the way there and no trouble on the way back.
HTC has always had the best gps radios I've ever used. My wife's GS3 still can't get as good, fast, and pinpoint lock as my DNA (or my Rezound for that matter).
As always, YMMV.
No offense man, but who the hell leaves their phone in the sun and expects it not to overheat? haven't you ever left your phone in the car in the summer and come back to a red triangle or a high temperature sign?
The key to keeping your electronics alive is to keep them cool. Your phone is just like your computer...you try to keep the temperatures as low as possible at all times.
I have a generic cigarette lighter adapter I got off ebay. I used my the google gps on my phone to a store in CT for the wife and then a trip to Boston, well over 3 hours worth of continued GPS use. When I unplugged the phone when we parked in the garage I had a full battery and the phone didn't appear to be any warmer than playing a regular game.

That's how every phone works. If you are using it in a hot environment and in direct sunlight it will try to cool itself down by stopping charging.

Sorry bud, you cannot expect to leave your phone on the dash in direct sun, while using GPS AND charging and not have less than optimum results. You are KILLING the efficiency of your battery by allowing it to overheat continuously. Keep it cool man!

LG G3 Overheating Issues

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!

An explanation and some evidence would be nice. Its hard to believe a claim without proof especially with the way you formatted the OP. You asked if anyone tried the charger then two posts later you claim it screwed your battery up. I'm looking forward to hearing about the issue because if its a phone issue that's different that a charger causing an issue.

Got the charger yesterday put my phone on it last night before bed. This morning wake up it is only at 85%. That's the first thing and I have seen some reviews about this one and others doing the same thing. My battery life I was getting about 16 to 18hr a day of battery life. Basically when I get home from work I am about 60 to 50 % everyday. I have been flashing roms and dealing with battery life and stuff for years. Today I did not even make it home before it was dead. Now I downloaded a battery recalibration app and I am going to try that to see if that gets my battery back the way it was. It Sucks because I was so excited to get this charger. I don't know what the deal is. I emailed the seller on eBay waiting to hear back from them. Proof? I can't screen shot my battery use cause I have charged and took it off and back on today so many times. I will tomorrow and see what happens. Guess I will just have to order a different one.
From the photographs, that charger looks identical to the Itian A6 (it's even called "A6").
I have two of the Itians and they both work perfectly (my only complaint is that they will only charge the Nexus 6 in Portrait, not in Landscape).

Mine charged in both no problems with that. Just will not charge pass 85% and my battery drains Super fast now. I took my phone off the charger this morning at 5 it is 6:57 now and my battery is at 80% usually it would be at 97%. I have about 20min of on screen time now.
Usually my battery would say 1 day and something left of battery till dead after using this charger one time now it's this

Its possible but the battery had a built in safety so it won't overheat and cause damage. I have used a qi charger every night since I bought my Nexus 6 in November and I've had 0 issues. I use a TYLT VU and or LG WCD-100 and still get excellent battery life. The only thing that I could think of is if the battery massively overheated for a long period it could result in reduced capacity but even then it's not instantaneous. A battery fixer app is worthless and won't help fix any issues with it so I wouldn't bother with one. It could be more than one thing contributing to what you are claiming and using the charger could just be a coincidence.
I'm not saying it's not possible however l am saying it's likely that there's more than one contributing factor. I would use the phone and run a battery monitoring app (check the battery life OP in the general section for more details) and see if there is anything causing it.

Got the charger yesterday put my phone on it last night before bed. This morning wake up it is only at 85%. That's the first thing and I have seen some reviews about this one and others doing the same thing. My battery life I was getting about 16 to 18hr a day of battery life. Basically when I get home from work I am about 60 to 50 % everyday. I have been flashing roms and dealing with battery life and stuff for years. Today I did not even make it home before it was dead. Now I downloaded a battery recalibration app and I am going to try that to see if that gets my battery back the way it was. It Sucks because I was so excited to get this charger. I don't know what the deal is. I emailed the seller on eBay waiting to hear back from them. Proof? I can't screen shot my battery use cause I have charged and took it off and back on today so many times. I will tomorrow and see what happens. Guess I will just have to order a different one.

Does the one you got charge all the way to 100%?

Yes both of them charge to 100% just fine. I own 4 quick charge 2.0 chargers and 2 qi ones and they all charge my phone to 100%. I have a dozen or so older chargers that also work but I've never had any issues with my qi chargers. Once it gets down to 97-98% it starts charging again but I always wake up with it at 100%.

I restored to a back up I had and it seems to be back on track with my normal battery life. When I get home I might play with it a little and watch it when I put it on there and see what happens. Because I have not installed nothing on my phone in at least a week. So I don't think its anything else. But we will see thanks for your help.
So generally speaking is it the charger or the phone that terminates the charging due too high temps?

The phone, although I never heard of it happening with an internal Qi chip before. I saw some people post it about it happening back in the day on the note 2 when those aftermarket Qi adapters first came out.

I will let you know today when I get home I am going to put it on there and watch it to see.
Ok so this is the deal I tested it over and over. When my phone gets to 100% the charger cuts off. When my phone charges on the wireless charger it kills my deepsleep. So in other words once I hit 100% it rapidly starts going down. Then the charger kicks on again then off on off on. I took the phone off the charger and sat it on the table I did not touch anything. Within 10min I was at 95%. I put it back on the charger it got to 100% I took it off rebooted my phone then I got deepsleep? I don't know why it is killing my deepsleep?

Well that is typical behavior and not your phone overheating from the charging like the post you quoted. Qi chargers do not trickle charge like a USB charger so they do exactly what you're describing.

I never said my phone was overheating. I said it only charged to 85% and it broke my deepsleep. No deepsleep drains your battery fast. That's the problem. So if I put it on there at night before I go to bed (which is why I bought it) all night it will go on and off.

I know but that's what the person you were quoting was asking about, over heating terminating the charging.

Question Charging issue

Hey Guys,
Anyone else experience slow to almost non existent charging speed if the phone has been on for a few hours?
The only way it goes back to charging fast is if I restart the phone while its plugged into a charger.
I have tried using the stock charger and aftermarket ones and different cables as well. Makes no difference until restart.
Chime in if anyone has any idea whats happening and/or how to fix it.
PS: I am unlocked and rooted if that matters.
Is the screen off? Having the screen on during charging will skew the charge cycle.
Does it charge normally when shutdown?
Possible battery, charging port, or mobo failure.
Check phone for any signs of battery swelling.
Same issue here. Got the phone today, charges sloooow by USC-C as well as QI... Although it shows "fast charging" in settings. I will check, if it's better after a reboot.

Doesnt matter if the screen is on or off, I even left overnight and gained like 8% charge.
Battery seems to hold a charge fine, there is no swelling and discharge behavior is normal. Used to charge normally a few days ago.

SOT has it diminished significantly?
Charging at a start temperature above 72°F?
If so it sounds like a charge port or mobo failure... sorry.
Try clearing the system cache and a hard reboot.
Try toggling fast charging on/off 3 times.

Ill have to check the temp next time I am at room temp. I was playing some COD so I was over 80F when I started charging just now. Did not have to restart so maybe its good.

Make sure the port is clean and free of debris.
Inspect and carefully clean* if needed with a toothbrush and a small amount of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol.
Lol, RO water if needed than the alcohol.
Allow to dry completely.
*I live in a dusty environment and even after 2 years never had to clean my C port. However my bdu cargo pants pockets are lint free, not all pants pockets are. In general these ports seem to stay clean but you know how that goes...
Same here. Did someone find a solution?
In my case it just normalized itself after a few days of usage... strange thing was, that the slow charging affected both, usb and qi charging.
Glad you fixed.
Btw maybe intelligent charging. If phone can't detect a time where you don't use it it have problem adapting charging speed. If you change everyday the moment you put it on charge better deactivate that option
If I may continue this thread, I have another question about the charging. Is it possible to disable fast charging?
I only charge at night so I don't need my phone to warm up from quick charge. On my old Samsung Galaxy Note 9 I could do it, but now I can't find the setting.
Thanks.

The only harmful part of the charge cycle on this phone is the top-off, and you can adjust that. You could use a 5W charger but I doubt it would extend the life.
More beneficial is checking other threads for features that may drain (add wear to) the battery.

Simply use a 12 watt or less brick.
Fast charging needs a compatible 25w brick and cable (Samsung). In most phones it has to be enabled. Disabling fast charging is easy... enabling it sometimes is not

The whole point of having a feature is to use it when needed. If I am in a hurry I want to activate 30W charging with a single toggle in the settings. I don't have to bring two different power bricks, one 5W, one 30W, and manually switch between them.

you should get a new phone it's the only way to fix it because it's broken and you can't fix it when it's like that.
