Hi guys,
My Atrix 4G is acting weird for the past 2 days. I was running Nov 25 CM7 nightly with faux 1GHZ kernel when the issue first occurred. The phone got too hot suddenly, it shot up from 32C to 58C in a few seconds and the charge started decreasing from 38% to 15% in 2 to 3 seconds. Before I could realize what happened, the phone turned off. I plugged in my charger after letting it to chill, and the phone started charging.
After sometime, I saw that the phone had charged till 25%. So I booted into CM7. Within no time, the phone got extremely hot and turned off again. It did not start charging till it came to normal temperature.
I somehow managed to flash the stock CM7 kernel, assuming that the issue was with the Faux kernel. After that, the phone was operating at normal temperature for a couple of hours. I thought that the Faux kernel was the culprit and thought that my issue is resolved. But after a couple of hours, I again felt the phone getting too hot in my pocket and before I could react, it turned off.
Please help me. Is the battery dead and needs a replacement? Or is it with the ROM? I've been running CM7 with stock/Faux kernel for many months and never faced such an issue.
Note: The issue started happening some time after I installed two apps. One is the Koi Live Wallpaper and one is the Xperia S launcher. Now both are uninstalled but the issue still persists.
Thanks in advance for your help.
It does sound similar to how a PC would react to an overheating CPU/GPU. In that case, you want it to shut off before permanent damage. Heat does not play well with electronics.
See if you can go under Performance Settings and set it to "powersave" and lower the clock speed to the next lowest setting (912 or 800). If it continues, try to backup everything and do a clean install. If the problem persists, it's not related to software.
Are you having the same issue in recovery? It might prove to be a challenge if it does.
Other suggestions: Remove any case you have on there along with the backing to get more air flow. Try to use it in a cold area, or in front of a fan or something. People have tried linking busted display digitizers with excess heat, might want to be careful.

I have that problem but with ICS/JB roms, the phones gets hot because my cpu is stucked at 750 MHz for some reason i don't know
Normally i don't have those problems with cm7, but when i had it i solve it by just installing another faux kernel. right now i'm running v023 at 1Ghz and it's working properly.
Maybe you can try to fix the permissions under CMW, sometimes that correct some problems
Try CPU spy and see if your phone is running at high clock speed all the time.

Thanks guys for the ideas.
The issue doesn't seem to be related to the ROM or kernel. It is with the hardware, because the phone is heating up even while it is switched off. The battery needs to be removed and after it is cooled, the phone works normally for some hours before it starts heating up again.
If it is getting heated up even while switched off, the issue has to be with the battery or the phone's circuit. Not sure which one is affected and I dont have a replacement battery to test.
Any ideas?

Are you saying it's overheating while completely powered down or just when screen is off? Is it still under warranty?

It's overheating when the phone itself is off. It's weird. Looks like the battery is leaking charge. And it is not under warranty

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with my X10i, it randomly turns off by it self, below are the times in which ive noticed this:
Phone is charging and i am texting at the same time or talking for like 5 mins and then turns off
phone charging and it gets too hot and it turns off
phone turns off when hot generally,
i play a racing game for 20 mins and it turns off.
When it turns off it tries to reboot, it boot it s then turns off again, i have to take the battery appart, wait for 10 mins plug it back in and turn it on.
This gets annoying as it shouldn't really do this and its not as if i put my phone on top of the radiator in order for it to get hot.
Please help
Ps. it did this on android 1.6 and 2.1 so that didnt fix it.
Regards
Well, this is definitely a hardware problem... you should return it to warranty or try and get it robbed to activate insurance if you have one... lol

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, i have also noticed that when the phone turns off it make a small clicking noise.
Thanks for the suggestions but im in greece and i have no insurance cover and the phone was given as a gift so i don't know what is up with the warranty.
Totally a Hardware problem... Just take it to the nearest SE Repair. It'll cost you though.. :\ They Charge really high if u dnt have wwarranty.
Any ideas on which hardware could be causing this? do you reckon it could be just the battery getting too hot? or something else?
You will still have warranty even if it's gifted (through imei )

Oh nice i hope that is the case, i 'm not sure if its been a year though, how long does the warranty cover?
One year. Warranty is for one year and two years on special contract basis if i'm not wrong.
If your phone keeps restarting, (Heating) another issue could be wrong (or high) OC settings (like setcpu to high values) or something. Which fw are you running atm?
Try reflashing to Stock and see if the same thing happens?
I had the similar issue , I flashed it to Wolfs 2.2 switched off the mobile, Removed battery and let it cool down. After sometime it fixed the issue by itself

Hey,
Thanks for your reply, i do not know what oc speed i have or how to overclock, as for my version i have the stock 2.1 android rom and build 2.1.A.0.435
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLASH, i have seen tutorials but everytime i set my phone to usb debugging mode it over heats and turns off
Have nearly same problems. Looks like you have fuel gauge ic problems, max17040, to be exact. Or Qualcomm PM7540 power distribution ic, which is much worthier. Does your battery level changes sometimes after that glitches, and returns to normal after battery re-installation?

yes that does happened sometimes, the battery is on red and the phone crashes, but then when i take the battery out and plug it back in after 10 mins i get a white bar in the battery so in theory it has more battery than when it crashed.
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.

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.

Okay, I am having issues with my Note 3. I can run my phone as hard as i want and no problem until i get to about 50-60%. Then, my phone screen will just go black like the battery just died. Now if i plug it in for 1 second and hit the power button it starts booting up and i can immediately unplug it and it returns to 50-60% battery and continues to run fine. But it will not power up without plugging it in for a second. I even have a friend that is having the same issue with his att&t note 3 that has never been rooted ever. Just weird. I am currently running Vision-x vpucnc5 rom with calm kernal. I have tried multiple other roms and the problem still persist. I have even purchased another battery thinking that was the problem. I will include a screen shot of my battery info screen and all you see is a black line when it happened. Please help! Thanks in advance. .
When you run the device hard, is the phone getting hot? Do you have a big case on it? It sounds like the overheating sensor is kicking off the device. On my note 3, when running WiFi Tether Router app and it is downloading a big file say a movie. On 4g LTE at a download speed of 2MB+ the phone has gotten to hot and shut down. My solution is to take it out of the case when downloading.
Maybe plugging the charger into the device resets the overheating sensor?
Here is what I would do, here is a link to the Galaxy tool app http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 download and install. Now you test all the sensors, and check the logcats to see what happened at the black line. Your phone has record of it in the logcats, either in the IOTHIDDENMENU, or SYS_DUMP !!!

Not really sure how to test the temp sensor. It seems from that app that my phone was at about 29 deg Celsius.

There is a free app in the Google play store called the "Cpu Temperature" it gives you CPU temp and Battery temp in C/F. You might install it and run the device hard up to 50-60% and see what your temp is.
Don't forget to scroll through those logcats to see what happened at the black line.
Also I noticed your Screen is using some Battery, what is the preset on display time? Mine is 2 minutes then shuts off, I know if you run the display constantly they get hot.

Mine is set to 1 minute. The cpu temperature seems to stay around 100°F most of the time. However, after a random shutdown I noticed the temp was 140°F while booting it up right after the shutdown. Also. I uprooted and went back to stock NC5 yesterday. Still had the same problem today.

My CPU temp is about 115F with WiFi Tether Router running pretty much all day. My Battery temp is 86F. My device feels cool to the touch, except just under the camera flash where the CPU is. What is your Battery temp at 50-60% ? Maybe you have a short in your Battery that creates excessive temp at the half way discharge point? Do you have access to another Battery to swap out and see if that has any effect?

First of all thanks so much for all your help.
My device feels cool to the touch all the time. Running candy crush seems to make it run at about 120f. Still feels cool to the touch. It happened with the battery that came with the phone so I bought another one thinking that was the problem. Do I buy a third?

No, I think two is enough. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fls4NIRJ1IQ maybe this is the fix.
If not here is Sprint.com's suggestion, here is the link http://support.sprint.com/support/a...expectedly/WTroubleshootingGuide_542_GKB59231

Do you think this looks normal?

NO, anything with Kim Kardashian in it is not normal. Lol As for the device that temp seems a little high, right now I am running 114F CPU and the Battery is 84F. The deivce is running WiFi Tether Router, plus a half dozen other apps, and charging. Let me hunt up the specs on the average operating temp on your CPU.
Hey if you get a chance try this. Go to settings/device/call and uncheck " Turn off screen during calls" the screen will stay on during calls. But if it doesn't go black then its the proximity sensor. It may be defective or may not deactivating because of a case.
Hello. I've got Galaxy SII GT-I9100. It never happen to me, but now it started. When playing a game (clash of clans, dead trigger 2) it gets a little bit hot near the camera (as always), then the screen starts flickering and the phone goes off. When I turn it back on, the battery loses about 50%. I've tried flashing stock galaxy SII firmware, cm10.1 stable and now I'm running cm11. The problem doesn't go away with any ROM. I really need help.
Sorry for bad grammar, not good at english.

I think that that it might be an hardware related issue if it happens on each rom and even on stock. I think the screen turns black/flickering because of heat, is the battery very hot?

No, the battery is just warm a bit. The only part goes hot is near the camera.
EDIT:
I must mention, that when the charger is connected I can play games without any shutdowns, but when it is disconnected I can play 5 minutes max.
@IndeXez can you maybe borrow the battery from one of your friends to see or you still have that 5 minute limit? Since it isnt a problem with charger and it still doesnt work with all kinds of difference roms then i think its an hardware issue so thats why i ask you or you could borrow an battery first to see or the battery is the fault.
