Super noob here. brand newe to all things flash Rom and what not. This HD2 will be my first phone purchased for the purpose of modding however...
After doing a search for the words heat and hot I was not able to find much, and the wiki is down
So my first post is has anyone ran into the isse of the LED blinking green and orange and slow to no charge while plugged into the wall? To the point where it no longer charges?
I work in tech support and ive never seen anything like it outside of my gateway laptop.
I was running the stock ROM no mods yet outside of the Android mod that is being developed. i have master reset the thing easliy 10+ times in the few days ive had it though im not aware of constant reseting having a negative effect.
Basically on my way home while sitting in my console in the car I went to use it and noticed it was warm past comfortable warm. I had not used it for extended periods like hours of browsing wifi calls or using the phone hard.
I went to charge it 20 min later and it got really hot again after only being on the charger for 15-20 min and had only charged up to %15 from %13.
Took out everything let it sit overnight same thing the next day, tried a new battery and charger ( even though the battery was barely warm it is hot all along the bottom half on the back and going up the sides) and still had the same problem taking hour or 2 to charge 2-5 % and staying very hot with no use.
Im at a loss as to what to think any ideas?

Heat will cause what you are seeing, but also check and make sure that one of your battery pins is not bent, seems to be a common problem ..
Also have seen a few people that their battery was just bad , and they had to get a new one shipped in .....

Sure cant make any promises but Ill be happy to answer any question I can. I work in Teir 3 PDA support so all of my knowledge is tech based. Ill look up the task29 stuff Im not too familiar with that.
since you have already tried a different battery, and if the pins aren't bent, then its likely to be the phones charging circuits. get it warranty replaced.

I checked and didnt see it any bent pins they spring out just fine when removing the battery and apon inspection seem to be fine. One of the 1st things was for me to try a battery in hopes that it was that simple but to no avail
More information for those that care. The battery has been out now for a full 24 along with the sim.
I got home today and put the battery back in no sim memory card stil in. After being on for 8 min the back is far beyond warm.
The memory card is not recognized and I am certain it was before. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I wonder if it has anything to do with me trying to run the android mod off of a 2GB card that im sure was a class 2 and below, then master resetting it and going back to the 16GB that came with it?
More to come as i try new things.
Now the high temperatures in Austria cause the same problems on my HD2 when navigating in my car. HD2 after 2-5 minutes blinks orange-green (no loading) and after maximum 10-15 minutes crashes and at home too (my little office room has no AC, is in direct sunlight and room temp is over 30°C.
Unfortunately I have to rely on phone, email and office-functions and on navi-function for my upcoming vacation. No solution to place the HD2 in AC-stream in my car with this stupid original HTC-Car-Navi-Holder, in the office I have to put it in the fridge before to get it recharged.
When driving in the heat of noon I don´t even have to switch it on, just mounting into the loading-cradle is enough to make the HD2 crash after 10-15 minutes, only 3G on, nothing else (no BT, WiFi, HSPA, no app running etc.)
Until now I was quite satisfied with the HD2, had no crashes or malfunctions so far, but now I am really fed up with this piece of sh.. and I don´t think there will be a hardware or software-solution (except swichting it off) since the HD2 is malconstructed. And it IS correlated with ambient temps since it started to happen only when ambient temp is higher than 30 °C. When I am in a AC-room everything woks normal again.
i think i figured it out! i took out the sd and used the phone for 20 min or so. the heat gradually went away and its no longer getting hot. i am currently posting from the hd2 with a standard 2gb card inserted and will test my 8 and 16gnarled card today.
there is an issue with certain sd cards not being "officially supported"....
I read a post on here earlier from somebody saying that their 16gb card was causing their battery to drain fully in a matter of hours because audio manager was constantly working through numerous gb's of music on the card.........
may be completely unrelated to your problem but since you mentioned the card I thought Id chip that in..........
Hope you find a solution.....
Hi there; Could do with some help please I seem to have a series issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2 today. It started this morning; I noticed the screen was randomly turning on; for no reason what so ever. It only does it when the phone isn't charging, if the data cable or the charger is plugged in; it doesn't do it.
Its on version KE7. I have tried a factory reset, and that hasn't sorted the issue. Therefore I seemed to think it was a hardware fault, however with it not being an issue when plugged in I wondered why it might be doing it.
Tap to speak also kept coming up for no apparent reason, I say kept coming up, doesn't happen all the time, but did come up about 6 times today, when I hadn't pressed anything, which would suggest the bottom centre button could be stuck or sticky, however that seems fine; and its not been near any moisture and has been a hot day.
The phone has not ever been rooted; so no issues there.
The phone battery dies very quickly within about 4 hours with the screen turning on all the time; and the phone will randomly freeze up completely, and I have to remove the battery to reset the phone.
Anybody got any ideas? Really could do with some help
Thanks
Rich
Update: It is plugged in charging now; and the MTP Application has come up; like the data cable is plugged in. That seems very odd to me...
Don't be afraid to send it back. These things aren't cheap even if you're paying through your contact, you're entitled to get what you paid for.
Your specific issues may be down to more than one thing. My screen lights up when I've read my gmail on a different device and it needs to clear the notification. Nothing too worrying about that. The other stuff does sound like some sort of shorting though and people have been given replacements for less serious issues.
I'm tempted to get mine swapped because the wifi often won't pick up an IP address and the gps won't get a fix if the phone gets too hot. Relatively minor compared to your issues.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yeah I think its going to have to, I've tried playing about with settings, giving it time to cool down; pretty much everything I can think of, I really can't think what it could be, it seems to be many issues rather than just one, with it only being a month old, I expected slightly more.
Love the phone, did brilliantly yesterday; used it for lots of things; then today it just suddenly went, took it of charge, and it played up the whole way through.
Given up with it now, will take it back and see if I can get it fixed, I have 24 month warrenty with my contract.
Thanks
Put your original firmware back on if you can before attempting a warranty claim .

Morning, gentlemen.
I'd like to give you a break down of the 44~ hours I've had this phone as of right now and the troubles I've had with it. I'll preface this post with the fact that I work a corporate IT job and even as I may believe everything posted to be correct, please correct me if I state anything incorrectly. Thanks
I received the HTC Rezound around 3PM EST on Friday. Out of the box, I was unable to active the phone. I was coming from a 3G Droid X via an alternate line upgrade, and I had played with the Droid Bionic and had some issues activating there. I'll chalk up activating issues to needing to activate the 4G SIM card over the phone because of it being a corporate account. After 25 minutes on the phone with our Verizon representative, we were successful in activating the phone. Immediately afterwords, the phone rebooted. I believe that it did because of the PRI programming, but I'm also not terribly familiar with the back-end of the 4G activation.
At 3:30 PM EST it was at 35% out of the box after activation. I figured that I'd let it drain entirely to zero out the battery and charge it to 100% later on that night. After getting home and around 7:30 PM, the phone battery gave up and shut down. I plugged in the phone (HTC charger, HTC cable, surge protected outlet) and at 9:00 stood in front of the phone watching it go from off, to the HTC white boot screen, to the unlock screen where it would be completely frozen, and approx. 30 seconds later, would loop that process again and again until I pulled the battery. I go to pick up the phone and it's very hot. Not uncomfortable just yet, but hotter than any phone since the droid 1 had gotten in my hand. Pulled the battery, let it cool down, and booted to the HTC recovery (power + vol. Down) and wiped the phone. After booting, the battery was only at 14%. Strange since it had been on the charger, but I supposed bootlooping might hinder the ability to charge. After verifying that it was not bootlooping any further and using my old fascinate charger (same voltage, same microUSB connector), I went to bed.
Saturday morning 8AM, the phone was bootlooping again. Pulled the battery, let it boot up afterwords after and it was at 100% battery. Strange. Fast forward to 5PM: Phone has rebooted twice throughout the day maybe around noon and 2PM, but no looping. Battery was at 50%, and at 5:15 PM it begins to bootloop again. Pull battery, turn it back on, battery is at 9%. I plug it into the HTC charger using the HTC cable again to a grounded power strip. Plug it in at 5:30 PM and walk away.
At 7PM, I go to pick up the phone and it's bootlooping again and it is so hot it's literally uncomfortable to hold for more than literally a couple seconds. Immediately unplug it from the cable and pull the battery, also very uncomfortable to hold. I decide that the HTC charger is having many problems, and put it away so I don't use it by accident. I've uploaded a video on my Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1661452940302) so that you can see what the screen was doing after it heated up that much. I didn't have any other problems with the phone after one FINAL reboot for last night.
This morning, I placed it on the charger: Same deal of massive overheating and the screen doubling. EDIT: I've also noticed that for the most part, it overheats if it charges past 50%
Simply put: This is a beautiful phone, a wonderful speakerphone, great at texting. But seriously: I haven't seen anything else like ANY of this online anywhere yet. Anyone else seeing issues like these?
Thanks.

Nope.
Try pulling the battery and putting it back. Do not power up. Connect to charger and let it full charge. Disconnect charger and boot it
If it is super hot during any of that take it back.

I watched that video. I have NEVER seen anything like that and I have seen some weird stuff on my phone trying some weird modifications. (I have gotten massive screen tear and other stuff but that is due to the things I have done).
I would suggest returning the phone and getting a new one. I imagine that one is a lemon. You could try restoring the phone via the RUU in the shipped rom thread in the developement section but I think you should just return that one.
Unless you have messed with it aside from what you have told us (I doubt it though) I would return that one.
Easy
Return it.
My first Incredible did this, and my current incredible is doing this. Something in your phone is causing a thermal overload, which triggers a reboot, which gets only so far in the reboot until the thermal protection loads, it notices it is hot, and triggers a reboot [repeat].
In my case, the hardware radio (on both Dincs) was damaged/defective/finally gave way. 10 seconds on the internet will do this to me.
Return it. Do not diagnose it. Do not follow other peoples recommendations for testing. Return it. You must get rid of a phone like this.
Of course, this is one of my huge fears because I am leaving my Dinc for this phone; and now I am seeing that lemons are in this batch as well.

Definitely what I'm planning on doing. Debating on whether I want to hold of until tomorrow so I can show my boss though. I usually mess with my droid phones (Alternate roms, overclocking, undervolting, etc) and he always gets annoyed. For once, STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX it's acting like this. I suppose it's Karma

Just show him that video haha. That convinced me immediately. If it is really getting that hot there is a real problem and I would be getting it out of my hands ASAP.
you either just got a faulty phone or a faulty battery. as the others are saying, return/exchange it.
I personally got a dead pixel and the touch screen is a tad off(I'll click on a link and it'll think I clicked on the link right above(or below).... not all the time though.
right now I'm just sitting in front of Verizon waiting for them to open.
Mine gets fairly warm, especially when working while being plugged.
My first phone had a problem with the bezel coming apart, but it also ran warmer then the second one I have, it was always warm in my pocket, the new one isn't.
If you guys use LTE OnOff you can turn off the antenna you don't need/use be it CDMA or LTE. It will run cooler and battery life will last longer.

I always leave it off, LTE really is overrated. A wonderful nicety, but I don't NEED it.
...
With total and complete respect for the immediately preceding couple of posters, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH ... do not use tricks to cool your phone down.
You do not want to wind up on the other side of the 14 days with a phone which otherwise overheats from general use. DO NOT FOLLOW ADVICE SUCH AS TURNING OFF LTE.
Sure, if you have a working phone, and you think that will help your battery, then go for it. If you have thermal issues do NOT use bandaids.
(This has been a public service announcement).
LOL. I'm watching this very closely.
If the device isn't currently overheating turning LTE off isn't going to hurt it, lmao. They wouldn't bake in a feature that is going to make your phone melt down. Now, if you have problems CURRENTLY then you should warranty replace it. But 14 days doesn't have anything to do with it, you can call and warranty your phone anytime in the first year, 2 if you have the extended warranty. So it is NOT bad advice to turn it off if it is of no use to you. Don't scare people into killing their batteries just because they don't currently have an issue.
To the OP: I am currently on my SECOND DEFECTIVE Brand new Rezound.
The first one gave up on having any sort of vibrate function whatsoever (yes, the battery was pulled, factory reset, blah blah). Haptic feedback, softkey vibration, and all vibrations in general were completely dead. I took it back and got a brand new one since it's only 6 DAYS old. It only started having this problem this morning.
Got the new one at about 11AM today, and it starting having the power cycling issue that you're having about an hour ago. The phone is literally 7 HOURS old and wont stay on for more than 30 seconds before it reboots itself. I am VERY disappointed. Now I have to find the time to go in yet AGAIN to Verizon. I was on the phone with the tech and tried battery pulling it and factory data resetting it to no avail. It wouldn't even Factory Data Reset from HBOOT!
Sigh.

Why don't you go in and calibrate the keyboard if it's off?
OP
I think you should have added a "None of the above" as a selection for your poll. would have a lot more than 2 people.
My first phone and my second phone are set up the same, both factory reset both with LTE on and the second one makes little to no heat when idle, the first was warm all the time.

I tried to go to Verizon today, but they refused to do anything since it's a corporate account and 48 hours old. I'm really up in the air about whether I'm going to stick with the Rezound or go back to the Droid X.

Wow, that's ridiculous. They had no issues whatsoever replacing mine (and the one I'm replacing tomorrow) because it's within the first 14 days of purchase. I guess it works differently for corporate accounts.
Honestly, though.. I can't imagine them saying anything other than "Sorry, we'll give you a new one". How can you be sold a product that is OBVIOUSLY defective (and certainly NOT cheap) and be told that there's nothing that can be done? It just doesn't make any sense to me.
I'm actually pretty upset that I keep having to go get replacements, even though they're new. I've been looking forward to getting this phone for a while and actually would like it to work correctly. It's just disappointing to see that 2/2 have been defective so far. Hopefully it ends there.

Corporate allocation and stock is different than the consumer market.
I've had my note for almost two weeks now. This afternoon, I was using it as I always do, mostly mail, some web stuff and music - thus no extended gaming, etc to overheat the GPU.
I put it in my pocket, removed it several minutes later and it was completely dead - and I couldn't even turn it back on. It wasn't banged around or anything, and there was at least 50% charge in the battery. I opened the back, removed and replaced the battery. Still nothing. I tried again about 20 minutes later, and it powered up as normal. And it has been since.
Is this weirdness that happens occasionally to current gen android phones? Anyone else have similar issues? Should I try to exchange it?

thats odd. is it stock? if not, you should list everything you did to the phone. If you had it overclocked, maybe it overheated and shut down so as not to fry the chips?
Yeah, all's still stock. I've not even rooted yet.
Same thing happened to me with a skyrocket that I had. Except I did have it rooted running sky ics rom. And I had it plugged into the charger. So...maybe not quite the same thing...sorry. lol
I just went to the store and swapped it out for a new one. No questions asked within 30 days.

Just happend to me, after testing out the mhl adapter at my parents place i restarted the phone. Then once all was booted up i put it to sleep to make the drive home only 15 min away i did notice the the phone was hot in my pocket but screen wasnt on. Pulled out my phone and it didnt turn on. I pluged in the the usb and it powered up normal.
Well its a new toy, they will have bugs and they will fix them. So far so good. I did get the juice defender app, seams to be.working.out.great went all day and still had 75% power when I got home.

My phone does get warm from time to time (on the back right below the camera lens), though I didn't notice it before the crash. Is this heat normal?
Only thing i did have is a random reboot once...thats about it.

My only odd experience is after unplayable Asphalt 6HD for a little while, and phone does get warm. After I close the game I get nothing. Blank screen and take a few minutes to come back to life and when it does it as if it went through a soft reboot.

UPDATE - problem has not gone away. It seems to be (at least partially) related to a malformed battery contact. Exchanging for a new one tomorrow.
I'm a light user throughout the day. Charged my phone to 100% before I left for work today. On my way home, I used my phone a lot. I visited websites that had a lot of content. I was pinching and zooming and the phone crashed/restarted on me. Same thing happen 10 minutes later. I was using the phone for about 20 minutes non stop prior to this to happening. The phone was in the upper 50s (56%-59%). The phone was getting noticeably warm on the back cover, but not to point where it was burning hot.
This doesn't happen to me during my lunch when I use the phone non-stop for a full hour. My phone is stock, not rooted. Had for about 1 1/2 week now.
Heya so it all started about a month ago when my phone would suddenly loose connection to cell tower, the only way to fix it was to reboot the phone, but now since a week or so, i cannot get anymore signal no matter what i do (signal icon next to battery percentage stays at 0 bar and a little x on top left of it), rebooting does not help and even doing a factory reset did nothing, i went to local bell store, one of the seller tried my sim card into his personal phone and it worked. They suggested that i go to a repair store. I did not drop my phone since forever, although it did heat up quite a lot about 3 months ago (charging under a pillow while running a video, it was hot to touch in the morning).
I was wondering if its a common issue or if anyone got an idea whats going on, im thinking itt might be a hardware issue with the transreceiver or whatever its called.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ok what the hell, it just came back after over a week, rebooted a dozen time but this time it fixed it, for now.
Although with the new work contract i work in an area with very high magnetic field at specific spot (400000 or 600000 amp of power going tru the building), like some hand tool would would hold straight up in the palm of my hand and even my versaflo respirator would go crazy, passed a dozen time in such field with my phone in pocket, maybe that helped?
