Last night I plugged my Evo in to charge while I slept, and it ended up getting mixed into my bed in the process. When I woke up it was under a pillow. burning hot, so I unplugged it. This phone has a history of overheating but not that often and never to the point where it doesn't work, but this time the screen wouldn't turn on. The red light flashed weakly a couple times like it was trying to start itself back up but nothing. I took the battery out and cooled the phone and battery for 20 minutes and tried again, nothing until I plugged it back in, and then it was just the red light, I want to try charging it more but I'm worried that could wreck it for good. Also, I bought the phone off ebay through a commercial seller, but it's on Rogers through my dad's company so I could get it looked at if I have to. Help?
Overheating
I have had this type of overheating as well, and my phone works fine. You may want to get yours checked though, because I have a feeling your MB
is burnt. Were you overclocking it?

so every once in a while, i'd say every 4 or 5 days... i'll take my phone off the charger and start my day like normal. but on these days, (sometimes i notice and do a hard reset before all this happens) the upper half of the phone will get really warm and even if i do absolutely nothing on my phone, my battery will drain from full to dead in 3-4 hours.
has anyone else noticed this? i'm thinking it may be some sort of cpu cycle leak or some sort of infinite loop some background driver might get itself into.
its pretty annoying if i dont catch it right away and an hour after i unplug my phone while i'm at work to take my phone out of my pocket and have it over half battery gone already.

I have noticed the 'staying warm after charging sometimes' phenomenon....I also sometimes leave it charging all night but it doesn't seem to charge, even though the light is on. I think this is somehow connected to the wonky power button behavior...I get a green light on full charge sometime....i've never seen it turned green while powered off.....sometimes it won't turn on while plugged in, sometimes I need to do a battery pull, sometimes the SD card too, sometimes I need to press the power button a million times or hold it extra extra long....sometimes the charging light doesn't come on and it does charge, sometimes the light comes on and it doesn't...sometimes it gets really hot after charging and doesn't cool down after sitting idle....I usually just shut it off for a minute and turn it back on...somehow.
This is definitely one of my pet peeves with this phone...I also think this is linked to some phones never turning back on again, corrupted bootloader/recovery after a 'fastboot' shut-down or hot restart...
I'm diggin' the phone, don't get me wrong, but....I can't wait for the nPrime...
yeah, but it's less so the problem of it getting warm (pre or post charging) and moreso that it will start heating up a lot and you can tell that something is running the battery down in the background, the only way to stop this is to do a battery pull restart.
has anyone had similar issues with their phone going from full battery to dead in a few hours because of a hidden bugged process or something similar?
bump 10 char
I had that happen after tuning airplane mode off then back on. But that's itt

This happened to me this morning, first time and it was very weird. I've left it charging overnight per usual and this morning when I woke up and unplugged it, it had only 10% battery left. I tried charging it in my car on my way to work and have it plugged in to my computer USB now. I disabled a bunch of stuff as shown on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141221
And it's now starting to charge.
I did however just update to showdown rom and had setcpu on 1.7 conservative. It still should have charged but I'm guessing a stuck process/bug drew all the power last night.
So about 2 weeks ago I was booting into the bootloader and BAM black screen of death. The phone would not turn on, it would say it's charging with the red light but nothing I tried worked. I let it charge for hours and nothing. I had a bad feeling because I was literally just booting into my cwm recovery when it turned off and all went to sh**.
Luckily there was a cheap solution. I knew the phone was somewhat alive because I could see it in adb recovery. (./adb devices)
2-3 days went by no luck charging etc.
I decided to stick a the battery inside 2 zip lock bags and freeze it (old trick)
After 12 hours in the chill box I popped it in and the last bit of juice left booted my phone to the last animation.
I took another battery that fit somewhat from another phone and luckily it booted.
Ordered a battery on ebay and now the phone works perfect.
Don't freak it could just be a battery.
I don't think my battery was dead when in recovery but I have read that a low battery or dead to dying battery in cwm can cause this sort of thing to happen.
Anyways back to flashing
Hope this helps someone in need.
Cheers
I was going to post this later, but thanks for the post. My phone has done this twice and my Evo 4g did this. If you're 20% or lower on battery and try to reset, or power on, it freaks out and doesn't want to turn on. My first purchase after I buy a smartphone is always a backup battery. Ebay always have cheap ones. I just pop off the old battery, put it on the dock charger, and then pop in the fully charged backup battery. My friend has replaced his evo 3D twice already "thinking" he had the black screen of death. These phones just have issues with low batteries. If my phone dies and I put it on the charger, sometimes it won't turn on until it's above 20% again

I started having problem charging the phone a couple weeks ago. Sometimes it charges just fine, but then sometimes it wouldn't charge at all even if it's pluged in the whole night. The top half of the phone gets pretty warm if it's plugged in. So I plugged it in last night and when I woke up this morning, the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I plugged in the charger again and it just shows the black and white battery symbol in the center repeatedly. Then when the phone get's hot, the screen just goes black. I tried to charge it with my computer but it's just the same. When I say it gets hot, only the top half of the phone gets hot, the battery feels fine. Could it be the mainboard or is it something software that I can still fix by myself? Someone please points me to the right direction. Thanks.
First I'd try a different battery, one that is known to be good. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'd take it to a service center to get it checked out and possibly replaced, assuming you are under contract and warranty.
I guess u're right. I'll do that first before anything else. Thanks heaps

Late last night, as I was going to bed, my phone was throwing the "charge me" sound and notification flash, it was sitting at 14% charge. So I decided to plug it in, as any normal person would do.
When I woke up this morning I found the LED flashing red/green and the phone was so hot to the touch I had to put it down. Which is saying A LOT because 1) my hands are fairly numb to anything short of burning my skin off and 2) that was through my case, which is a Body Glove Kickback case.
Now, I immediately unplugged as I knew what the flashing lights mean, but here's the kicker -- once it was unplugged it only had 32% charge, I had been asleep for 7 hours, clearly enough time to charge a phone.
Once I realized this, I started messing around with phone (after I could hold the damn thing again) and found that I had a case of image persistence, which was caused by my phone being set to leave the screen while connected to the charger. I've changed that. I'm hoping that I can at least fix this today and figure out what caused my phone to act like this last night.
Nothing was different than any other night. I used the same charger in the same outlet, with my phone in the same spot, as I have since I purchased the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated! As my GoogleFU has only led my to the screen burn thread and useless threads upon threads of people saying what apps they were using when their phone got hot.

I haven't either. I've had phones get really, really warm -- but this thing was so hot that when I grabbed it in my somewhat awake state, I woke straight up and immediately dropped it on my bed. I'm not one to exaggerate, it was insane how hot it got.
And I'm assuming you're talking about screen on when charging? Yes, I set that. A while back when I needed my screen to constantly remain on.
That's pretty crazy. If you have insurance, I would try get it replaced. It obviously shouldn't be getting that hot, and the last thing you need to be worrying about is weather tonights the night your battery will explode. I'd be afraid to keep it on a charger at this point - even with the screen off.

I was considering taking it to the store, I'll see how the rest of the day plays out. I left it on the charger to full charge and it didn't even get close to as hot as it was this morning, so that's why I feel like waiting it out. I'm going to leave it on the charger for a few more hours and see what happens.
So as of last night my LG V10 has been having major issues with charging. First off I will plug it in and for a second the little battery icon will do the animation and then stop. I went to the battery status screen and it said that the phone was not charging. Secondly it will restart on its own when plugged in and it's not charging. i first noticed something was up about two weeks ago. I left my phone to charge overnight, then I went to use it when I woke up and it was at 1% battery then turned off. I plugged it back in and it charged fine. Later in the day i was on my way to work and I went to check my phone but it would not turn on. I'd press the power key (on the back) and it would just do a quick little vibration but would not turn on. I then took the battery out and put it back in. Since then it has worked fine until last night. i tested out two cables and I tried them both on my PC. T he phone would still not charge. I just went to sleep with it plugged in, hoping it would somehow charge at some point in the night. Woke up and no dice. I tried one last time to charge it and somehow it charged normally. All the way to 100%. I could even use it while charging. Just a few moments ago I tried to test it again. Surprise surprise...it would stop charging. As I type this it just restarted twice while plugged in. i just removed it from the cable now. I really have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Here are a few things I believe may have something to do with it: I use it to hear music in the shower (potentially vapor), I sometimes put the charger the wrong way (somewhat roughly), and I have it in my pocket while at work where it get hot and has lots of moisture. I am waiting on doing a factory reset. I just ordered a new battery. At this point I'm lost on what to do. I really hope someone on here can help me figure this out. I'm on AT&T by the way.
I returned mine to T-Mobile for a new one. 1 yr warranty.
