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 everybody,
i've owned my Lumia 920 for about two months now, and i am (used to be) in love with it. Great hardware, great software, all those issues other people had, with the freezes, the random reboots... i had none. my phone was perfect.
Then i got Portico delivered OTA to my phone last week, and i thought 'great, this is gonna make the phone even better'. i was especially looking forward to the 'keep wifi on when screen is locked' option. I updated my phone (took maybe 20 minutes?), and my brilliant phone was gone. What i'm stuck with since is a collection of all the problems i had been reading about:
random reboots
random freezes needing a soft reset to be usable again
the phone is constantly warm, sometimes really hot, even when i'm not using it
battery life is about half of what it used to be pre-Portico
data connection is constantly dropping, be it 2g, 3g, or lte. if have to switch flight mode on and off again to get a data connection every hour or so
i was playing a game the other day, while charging the phone (original charger and everything) when the phone suddenly died because of an empty battery. so, the phone was using more current than could be supplied by the charger. that never happened, even with the exact same game, before portico
Again, i had none of these issues before the update. Right now i regret having updated to the "bugfixing release" of WP8, because all that did is to introduce all the bugs it was supposed to fix.
Does anybody else experience the same behavior, or maybe have some ideas on what i could do to try and fix them? I didn't do a hard reset yet, i am hoping to fix my issues without wiping the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips
I havent been having the reset problems etc, but I have noticed that since updating, I have had probably half as good battery life. It is really annoying me cos I was so happy that it would last for ages even under heavy use, now it will only make it through the day comfortably with minor use. Im doing a complete discharge, and then recharge and see how that goes. So glad im not having the other problems that people are having though. Actually also disappointed that the camera is still not very sharp. Video is great, stills are average. Why have such lame performance on such a (supposedly) good camera
I haven't had experienced these issues yet. It might be something wrong when update comes OTA.
Only my problem is crackles in the case. I can live with them for now...
I've also been having problems with Portico, I haven't had issues with reboots, but my battery life is terrible. It used to go 15-16 hours on a charge, now I can barely get 7 hours.
Also, weird problem I've been having, when the battery gets too low that the phone automatically shuts itself off...when I plug it in, it takes about an hour to turn back on. It's really worrying me, because I never had this problem before. If anyone else has noticed this, please let me know.
Is there any battery diagnostic for the phone?
Thanks!
Hello, just wanted to post here and see if anyone else was having similar experiences with their phone.
So I have the ATT Mega, and it has been working fine for a little over a month now from when I first got it, love the phone. Last week or so, I noticed the battery would seem to drain much faster then usual and the back top part of the phone, where the camera lens is, would heat up very badly even when not using it.
I tried killing apps, restarting, nothing seemed to work. I checked the app manager and the battery stats, nothing out of the ordinary but the drain was there and the heat was so bad you really didnt want to hold it.
I contacted ATT and they sent me a replacement which I received last night. I turned it on and was trying it out and within minutes that phone started heating up in the same spot too.
They didnt send me a new battery because oddly enough the battery or that entire area in the back would not get hot at all, only the top half.
I contact them again today and they said they would send me a battery to try but I am scared it will not work again.
I also have a 64gb SD card that I use, but it is the same one I have used in my Note 2 and now this phone with no problem. I am currently using a Note 3 with the same SD and have no issues.
I would love to go back to my Mega though, I actually prefer it to my Note 3 but I am worried about this issue reoccuring or not getting fixed in the first place. Anyone else have anything similar to this with their Mega??

I have noticed it gets warm, but only when streaming videos. Just browsing the web or listening to music/iheartradio, nothing gets uncomfortable. I just notice the warmth after many minutes of streaming. Not uncomfortable either. Now I do have a case on it, so maybe that's why it doesn't seem as bad.
I have an i9205, but it's basically identical hardware. I've never had any overheating issues of any kind. Recently I've been running the "performance" CPU governor too, which locks the CPU at 1.7ghz constantly and yet I've never been able to make the phone throttle itself back.
Thanks for the responses! I am having ATT ship me a replacement battery to try that, hopefully it arrives today. I just dont understand why it would heat up so badly on both my original phone and their replacement one for me. I would think it has to be the battery or the SD card, but the card has no issues in my Note 3 and it didnt have problems in my original Mega for a month.
Crossing my fingers that it is just the battery so I can go back to using my Mega, I miss it -.-
I noticed my Mega getting warm in the same location last night, but didn't have battery drain. This is a replacement Mega since I bricked my pervious one, but never had that problem with that phone. Today, after being fully charged and not used while at work, I checked my phone and it was 15% and warm. So I turned off WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth and plugged it in a 1 amp charger, 13% and still warm after a few minutes. Airplane mode, 12% and still warm after a few minutes. Turned the phone off and charging for an hour, phone is cool and 37% (makes since). Phone has been on, charging, and WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth turned off for 43 minutes, phone is cool and 56%. Now I'm turning WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth on individually to see if it repeats. I'll keep you posted on my results.
Thanks! I will wait to see your results!
Ive no issue with mine...
Well, sorry to say, it's been almost a month of me playing with this phone trying to duplicate my one time overheating with no luck. I've WiFi streamed for hours, transfered huge files over BT, viewed videos, and anything else I can think of with nothing. Maybe it was a fluke...who knows.

Zero issues here
Its been 2 weeks since I got mine and I noticed the phone getting hot around the camera but it suddenly started being normal with no heating. Will try for few more weeks to see what is the temperature level

My friend kind of had the similar situation... in his case he changed the phone
My Samsung Galaxy 6.3 is getting hot on the ear piece and the back of the phone where the camera lense is. What's the problem? I need to know if I need a new battery or if it's the Motherboard I need to replace and will the phone blow up in my face till I fix this problem?
Hey everyone. I literally just got my G5 in the mail a couple hours ago and went through the setup process. It was plainly obvious that the phone was really hot. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know if this is a common thing or if it may just be my phone....
My LG G5 is not received.So I don't know.When I get it,I will answer this.
Mine gets a little warm after heavy use and while charging, but I wouldn't call it hot. Try pulling the battery and see if the battery is causing the heat.
Mine also got hot during the setup process. I was adding my gmail account and fiddling around with it while it was charging and it got noticeably hot. Haven't had a problem since then.
I was playing with one in the ATT store and it seemed to be getting warm on the back just to the left of the fingerprint reader (if looking at the back). I wouldn't say it was hot, just warm.
Most phones heat up a bit during setup, just like some do during updating. I'm guessing it may be a little more noticeable with the metal design.
Verizon unit here and mine was also hot when setting up but quickly cooled down. I will add that i did not have my phone plugged in when setting it up.
Mine was really hot during the setup process. If I'm doing nothing with the screen off, it's cool. But doing anything with it, generates more heat than I would like. Taking photos feels like I'm holding a hand warmer.
I read LG isn't aggressively throttling the CPU like Samsung so at this point that's what I'm assuming is going on.
It would be nice if there was a straight forward way to compare temperatures objectively instead of subjective descriptions like warm, little warm, hot, too hot.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it happens after your initial device set up. Normally with the LG's I've noticed that they get hot during a first boot and setup. The only other time I've experienced it like that is if I'm playing a game or on Skype.

after setup, (not charging) installing all my apps it got warm but not where i would have to put it down.
it seem that this phone have a lot of problem............... should i go pick up my package?
Verizon user here. I didn't notice anything warm during setup but I noticed on my first test call that after about 10 minutes it was getting warm to the point of being uncomfortable. I've a text message restore running for about 10 minutes now with the display on and the phone is cold to the touch. Not sure what may be causing the temp variances. An unlocked CPU sounds plausible which i'm kind of okay with. Has anyone notice poor call quality. According to the person I was talking to my voice would go through periods of crystal clarity and inaudible garble. Not sure if it was on my end or theirs. I'll return with updates.
Got my My LG G5 from T-Mobile... After 3 days the phone has been overheating, and every 10 seconds it drops Mobile Connection...I went through a plethora of tests with T-Mobile Support and they determined that I need a replacement device...so waiting for the replacement...One other thing, I notice this happened after calling T-Mobile to Unlock the device...So not sure if there is any correlation between my issue and T-Mobiles Unlock App, T-Mobile said the two were not related.
I did factory reset and left for 10 minutes after first boot then setup my credentials and left phone on WiFi for 1 hour before I did start downloading

The only 2 times i had the phone get warm was whdn i setup it up and when i tried to film a 4k video while charging it and it caused the phone to stutter and even the clips stuttered.
I think there are communication problem here, when people mention hot, how hot is it, as different people defines them differently, I know my friends phone is only warm, but he just say hot.
all the LG phones i heard get HOT or overheated. this has been happing for so many years, nothing new.
i notice this 4 years ago with my LG phone. i thought they would have fixed it by now.

I had the V10 for about 4 months, only get s warm, not hot.
Setup no heat, installing all apps for 20 mins no heat. Lots of photos not heat. Not seeing an issue with over heating
I've searched and googled . I cannot find a good fix for the heat issue . I've turned off location , ran cleaning apps , reduced brightness , and others and still extremely hot on power button area while downloading or watching a video . Is there a kernel tweak for this? anybody ?
I don't have this issue on mine

I have same issue. I've had the issue for awhile. My phone gets so hot, that many times it feels like the screen is going to melt. I literally can't touch it sometimes, it is that hot. It actually hurts to touch the screen. Many times it's popped up and had to shut phone off because of heat.
This is when nothing is running. I am completely stumped.
Also lately my LTE is stupid sloe, so I force it into wcdma[4g] only and it's much faster.... How does that make any sense?
Idk I'm getting bunch of problems, that I'm absolutely sick of this phone now. My G4 ran 100x better. So did my G3 and G2.

I've reduced the heat dramatically even at a benchmark it didn't get extremely hot like it did before . Deleted bloat, downloaded the v10 tweak on this forum that tweaks the build.prop and others. Turned off gps and wifi related things. Did alot. Battery life is great with screen off but will drain on average 1% every few minutes with screen on
I have never had any heat issues. Sure it gets warm from time to time. (especially out in the blazing summer sun) but never so hot that the screen will melt.
I'm still in 100% stock. The only strange thing would be recent apps list disappears but a restart fixes that.
The only time mine overheats is when I run Facebook live..
I actually get a message about overheating. Lol.
