hi guys, few days ago i put my razr on charge and after full charge (~2.5 hours later) it was so much hot, so i unplugged and wait some minutes to get at normal temperature.
nothing happens on rom/any software.
but since that day the phone gets hot too fast, like 1-2 minutes using it and it already hot, if i stay 5 minutes on it, the feel is like it getting explode.
did this happens to you? should i search for warranty?
* another question, when i use RSDlite to update the rom, it does not clear all data on phone, my internal storage remains there, have a way to do a total/full/mega/super wipe so i can take it to warranty without preocupations?

mine was quite the opposite, it is the coolest phone i've ever used (in normal condition). if you're already tried to flash ROM, then flash it back to stock will clear the matter a bit. if you haven't, better ask for RMA.

yeah i agree, my phone never got hot, already said a lot of times that was the coolest ever, but since few days ago something is wrong.
im on stock now, but with some modifications, i will try to re-flash it.

Already heard of that problem...
I've read that it could be related to external sdcard... I dont know why, i dont know how, but some people confirm that this works... Do you have one? Did you format it over your pc?
If you did, format it again over Android : Settings -> Storage -> Format External SD-Card. Maybe this solves your problem.

Instead of formatting the SD card you could just remove it and use the phone without it long wnough to see if the problem lingers. I ended up returning a razr for a warranty replacement because of it running hot like you described. The device during normal operation and charging would get so hot it was uncomfortable in my hand. That was right around the time one or two report of GS III melting started to surface. i called VZW, told them I felt it was unsafe, didn't feel comfortable letting my kids use it to play games, that kind of thing and they sent me a replacement without hesitation or issue.

My GSII is totally broken. It can't even connect to the boot cable.
Anyways
I only need a way to reach the internal memory becausei got some VERY IMPORTANT info and pictures that I need to extract.
HOW CAN I DO IT?

First off,understand the fact that you aren't the center of the universe,nor everyone's attention.Help will come eventually.Be patient next time.It can even take days for a proper answer to come.
So,to extract the internal memory is easy.You just have to disassemble the phone and find the "NAND" labeled chip(or so I think,but you'll probably be able to find it).Problem is that,normally,it'll be glued to the mainboard.If you remove it,you destroy any chance of recovering the whole phone.Bigger problem is that,even if you extract it ok,you don't have any equipment that will be able to read it.It's not an SD card that you stick in a reader and do your thing.
So,your best bet is to send the phone for repair and explicitly state that you want your files intact.Ask them to not repair it if they can't preserve your files.
That's all the help I can give you.I hope someone can help more.
Even though you were a bit rough but it's MUCH better than ignoring
I know I'm not Thee priority, but I just had a trip to Turkey and have ALL my pictures in my GS2. I'm nervous and you can see why.
As you can see I live in Iraq and obviously there is no proper service around here and I'm the biggest hope I got.
Either I wait until I go for another trip and take the phone with me to fix it there or to bother you guys here, and I'm sorry for that

You just need to be patient man.Sorry if I offended you,it wasn't my intention.What I told you applies to everyone around here,not to you explicitly.

But in case someone can offer you better help,could you tell us what exactly happened to the phone?

I had CriskeloRom 32 on my phone and nothing was wrong. I was checking websites while thephone was plugged in to a charger. Suddenly my phone died, the screen went black and didn't turn on. I tried to but it in recovery & downloading mode but it never did. Went to a repairing store they used the boot cable but it didn't even get connected.
The best guess is some hardware thing is broken inside.
My bad luck is I had the 16GB external memory filled with HD videos and I was using the internal memory for the camera. The best moments of my life in antalya/ Turkey with my wife and daughter is saved in this memory.
I was waiting for Galaxy Nexus (I actually ordered one) but after this I'm really afraid of internal memory only phones.
Now I use Galaxy Note

Well,I keep my important files in the external SD,so I avoid possible problems.
Sounds like something got fried inside your phone.Damn thing goes really hot when charging sometimes.And Iraq's hot climate must have finished it off.
So,I'd wait for someone more experienced than me to say something on the topic.I think that what I said still applies though.Samsung service maybe is your only hope...
my girlfriend has the GSII and for about a week now it keep randomly saying its connected to the usb when we are clearly nowhere near any cables at all today it has been saying in the top left corner that it is 100% charged whilst on the right hand battery symbol clearly says around 75% we have tried charging with a different charger, usb and usb adapter as it randomly turns off and looking online it says that it could be related to a "cooked" battery . when turning on it flashed a big battery symbol followed by a yellow triangle and a thermometer, so we bought a new battery charged it up (using a separate phone that we know works fine) but with no luck we still have the same problem ..... its on the o2 network in the uk running 2.3.6 i think but is definatly GB STOCK any help or advice would be greatly apperciated as we are at the end of our knowledge and the phone is only 2 months old and last time she sent a phone to be repaired it came back in a worse state than it went in
sorry if this is in wrong section or if it is a duplicated post
Sounds like a dirty USB port. Try cleaning it.
have used almost a whole can of air cleaning everywhere i can possibly get to i think its cleaner now than when it was new haha
Canned air may not help. There could be something stuck on the little board inside the port that is shorting some of the pins.
Try a dry toothbrush first.
If that doesn't work try (with battery out, then let dry when done before putting battery back in) rubbing alcohol on a q-tip or something similar.

it's usb board is propably busted, but you should get new one thanks to warranty

The thing is, it's not doing anything at the time? Nothing that would overheat it. Also, it's very cold here right now, so weather wouldn't be overheating it either. The ROM/kernel have been fine until recently, neither seemed unstable. A virus...seems unlikely, but I'll install a virus scanner and have a looksie.

Why on earth would it take your forever?
Use use pro version of Titanium backup and you can restore all you backed up apps/app data in once go.
Re-stock device or re-install custom after wiping everything via recovery and if problem persists its likely a hardware issue, either main device or battery.

If the warranty deadline is not expired, you can try.
try removing your battery and replacing it firmly in place and snapping the cover on firmly into place.
I have had this issue since moving to the larger OEM Samsung battery kit occasionally and I feel it may be q seating issue with the battery, as this method solves it until it gets dropped or bumped about a few times.
Also Sleep of Death I believe requires a reset (7second power button hold) whereas my issue is resolved by turning the phone on normally (1sec power button press) hence how I found the battery issue..
just my experiences and $0.02..
It just randomly reset and took half the battery left with it. Bah. Seems to be the same issue as this topic. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103087&page=14

Tonight was second time in about one week when my phone shut itself down at night. Because of that I slept in both times Both times it was connected to charger and battery was full, also there was a lot of updated apps (notifications in status bar). Right before first time this happened I recovered from soft brick. First after recovering phone didn't work well it use to freeze on higher load so I re-installed stock ROM one more time and everything seemed fine.
Now I wonder if it's software or hardware issues. Any ideas?
Cheers in advance.

I think your problem is a software related one, try using the latest stock Rom, also it may be induced bya virus or a new program which you May have installed, if this didn't help them you should think of a hardware problem.

I was using 4.0.4 official ROM (NEE). And most of my apps are from Play store and only few from a reputable forum.
But as I said, I wiped everything today and installed a different ROM. If everything's OK for a week it will be clear that it was a software glitch.
Maybe it's tired?
****Non of this is of any importance. Just chill the f**k out and relax****
One week after installing custom ROM my SGSII has shutdown at night again. Like last times it was connected to a charger but this time there were no updated apps. So it's not ROM's fault because it happened with custom and stock ROMs.
Is it possible that soft brick damaged some part of phone's hardware (internal flash memory)? When recovering from brick I re-partitioned it.
...
MistahBungle said:
1) There's no such thing as a 'soft brick'. Your phone is either bricked (unfixable other than by authorised repairer/JTAG) or it ain't.
2) Highly unlikely anything firmware related would cause hardware issues like that.
It may well be a hardware issue given it's happened on different roms. If you're still on stock & haven't reset the flash counter, do that & send it in to Samsung/authorised repairer to be looked at assuming your warranty is still good. If it isn't, take it to a local mobile repair shop & have them take a look (if you've gone back to a custom rom, reset the flash counter & back to stock).

There's no warranty, therefore I won't be taking it to service center just to hear it needs new motherboard etc. because it'll cost me almost same as to buy another SGSII.
At this moment I'm only interested if there's anything I can do by myself. If not it's time for a new phone I'm afraid. The phone is still perfectly usable but I don't want to risk sleeping in and being late for work and I don't want to buy an alarm clock.

Do a completely clean install of stock (format cache, data, system, & internal sd card in CWRecovery first, Odin flash after), do not restore any apps (or app data with the exception of contacts/calendar/call logs/sms) via Ti or whatever, clean reinstall a few apps at a time, test for a day or two. Install a few more apps, test for a day or two. And so on.

Thing is that when the phone got bricked I had no backup of any kind and since internal storage was re-formated we can say that it was fully wiped. I installed stock ROM first. But phone was rebooting on higher load so I did factory reset and wiped dalwik and data. Reinstalled stock ROM again (even re-downloaded to make sure it's not corrupted). This time it wasn't rebooting. But after a couple of night shutdowns I decided to try a custom ROM. I did a full wipe (including internal storage) before installing it. Clearly it didn't help
BTW night shutdown happens about once in a week.

Simple, Because you cant run your phone just via charger, it goes from charger to device via battery so if your battery is faulty you could have lost power to device.

You're devcie was never "bricked". If it was your devcie would simply not power on or if it did it wouldnt go into download or recovery mode via buttons or jig.
If you can do the above yor devcie is not bricked. There is no such thing as a "soft brick", that is just a label n00bs like to use as a label for when they cant boot to system. Liek when they get a boot loop etc.

1000% Untrue. They are full of stories from n00bs who "think" they have bricked their device, ie all the silly "soft-brick" topics.
My advice to you would be to check battery pins for bends or corrosion and also swap battery and see if you get different results.
Before any of this though you should try a kernel cleaning script, flash stock rom via ODIN and then flash Siyah kernel.
Jeez man! Why do you waste your an my time typing this long but pointless post?! To show how "l33t" you are? If so please stay away from this thread.
As for battery, if it is faulty why it's still fully charged? Also why does it act-up just once in a while? IMHO battery is quite a simple thing, either it charges or not. It looses it's capacity over time. Mine is about six months old and still lasts me about 36 hours.

Your problem is that you create a thread about a problem you have with device and then dont even listen to what you get told with regards to advice from multiple people, ie check rom/kernel/battery. What the hell do you expect any of us to do give you some magic words you can say to solve your problem?
What I wrote was correcting your misconceptions and giving you on advice on how to resolve your issue, Did you even bother to read what I wrote at bottom??
Also you're been very narrow minded if you think that the only symptoms of a faulty battery is if it cant charge or hold charge. Symptoms can also include random drops of output which result in your phone losing power and rebooting or powering off which is exactly what is happening to you. Now I'm not saying this is your exact problem but the fact that you are ignoring this possibility shows how much of a fool you are been especially when been hostile towards people who are trying to "waste their time" helping you.
If you dont want our advice then I suggest you GTFO and find another site to post your problem on.

Wow, you're a real "keyboard cowboy". Do you tell same thing to people you don't know in real life? I bet you don't.
I already wrote this but I will repeat it one more time. I did full wipes, flashed a few different ROMs and kernels since this problem started. It didn't affect the problem in any way!

Reading your posts makes me think opposite. I will repeat myself shutdowns started right after recovering from "soft brick"/"NAND rw corruption" (which ever suits you better). Other reason I don't believe it's battery's fault is that I have never heard about:

in otherwise perfectly working battery.
Like everyone else I owned a bunch of cellphones, laptops, cordless drills, MP3 players and other battery-powered devices but never had such problem or heard about anyone having this exact problem. Would you care to elaborate about it?

I'm not going to do that only because there are a few "anal" people in this great community.
Ok, you're obviously an idiot and its pointless trying to help you. Good luck trying to find somebody who will help you now after showing how much of a **** you are to people trying to offer advice.
I'm off to play on my fully working i9100.
Bye.
Hey everyone. I just bought a Galaxy S4 a couple days ago, and have had no problems with it until this morning. I had it plugged in, and when I woke up, it was extremely hot to the touch, burningly so, and had some weird battery warning of some sort on the screen. I didn't know what else do do, so I immediately unplugged it and took the battery out. Coming from using an HTC Thunderbolt, I've never had a phone get this hot. My hands even still hurt from handling the phone, and now I'm really concerned that there is a problem with it. It's probably worth mentioning that I did root it, but I did nothing else that would cause it to do something like this. I didn't overclock it, I didn't install a custom recovery, and I didn't install any custom ROMs. Besides having root access, the phone is in a stock state as if I just took it out of the box. I haven't turned it on yet as I'm letting it cool off right now, but I really want to know what the heck happened here.
Thanks for any help.
You're not the first person. Hm I want to buy this phone too

Yeah, to my surprise I noticed one of the moderators moved a similar thread from someone over to this section while I was in the middle of posting mine. I wish I would have been able to see it before making mine, but oh well. At least I'm glad it's nothing I did, but I'm both concerned about the heat killing the battery as well as this happening over and over again.
I haven't had this issue at all. I'm rooted and running cwm recovery, but otherwise stock. I also froze several apps (only bloat that was allowed to be disabled natively, so far).
In general, if I were you, I would contact Samsung or Verizon. It may be a defective battery or a defective phone.

I suppose I could bring it back; I do have about 12 more days to return it if I need to. Of course, I'd really rather not, but if everyone here thinks that's the best course of action here, then I suppose I should. Of course, there is the whole I rooted it thing, so yeah.

Don't worry about root. Use SuperSu's unroot feature before returning it. And a factory reset. They'll never know.
Or, if you're really paranoid, use the stock no root odin image and flash it clean.
Get the battery error message to repeat then bring it in with it showing or take a picture of it. A good store will hand you a new one on the spot. They just need to have a documented reason.
Yeah pretty much
I think what I'll do is test the battery life and see if it was damaged at all first. If there's nothing to worry about there, I could just pretend it never happened. Of course, if it decides to go supernova on me again, I'll just unroot it and bring it back. Thanks for the replies guys.
Update:
Considering my battery went down by 8% in just a half hour, I think I can safely consider my battery to be fried. This is just wonderful...
