Has anyone had an issue with it over heating? Seems like if I play say 3 or so matches in Call of Duty it over heats, had some lock ups and crashes when it's gotten warm as well.
I use all the max settings on Call of Duty, I do know what you mean about it being a bit warm, but I don't mind. Recently though, it keeps booting me out whenever I join a match. It takes about 30 seconds but it just closes.
I haven't had an issue with it dropping out of matches. It could be your network, I had a duraforce on verizon once that would do that. The heat related things <i have seen when it is warm above say 85F. Just one of those things to mention so everyone can watch it. Like you getting booted from cod we need to watch things like that as well.
Try clearing the system cache.
Network reset.
Clear sim card tool kit data.

By dropping out I meant the app fully crashed.

Try clearing it's cache.
Check to see it has all the permissions it needs.
Did you disable something it is a dependency to?
It likely needs Google play Services (clear data) and Playstore to be active. If updating related system apps didn't help, try going back to their factory load versions.
Try unistalling and reloading it.

Ok that is similar to some of what happens to me. Is your phone in a case? It seems like on mine at least it gets super hot under the camera on both the back and screen side. I would assume that is where the radio is and I play on cell.....

Don't game or have this phone.
Just giving you general troubleshooting steps.
Look at a tear down to see what chipset or heatsink is there.
A poor signal connection, bad sim card, misconfigured Mobile Access Points... it could a lot of things or maybe it's just that game that's not running right.
Try it on a good wifi network maybe, see what it does.
Fortunately it's not a critical app... although it may seem so now.
Note, you can hold it in a damp microfiber cloth to cool it down especially if the relative humidity is low. Phones is cases will run warmer but ones without cases tend to die sooner.

Yes I have a clear hard plastic case. I'm it gets hot there because the SoC is in that spot?

I've done all those steps. I'll just wait for an update, that usually fixes everything.
Yeah I've done the general cleaning everything up, even deleted everything and it still does it. More of a post to say watch out this could happen. Played it on wifi and same thing. <It's not a critical app I agree however it is one that stresses various functions of the phone which later could affect critical apps.

Maybe Gaming Mode kicks something into overdrive that it shouldn't? Maybe when we get our first patch update we'll get a fix.
Very possible we could. I am more curious what the smart people will find when we get them unlocked and they start poking at them....
My N200 is overheating in the south Louisiana summer...I am far from a gamer and yesterday it was annoying me to cool it off. Yes, I know, N200, the heat index was 117 yesterday. I get it, its hot. Put it in front of the car's AC vent to cool it down.
And now, the battery wont charge to 100 percent.
After years with Samsung and Moto, and Apple, I decided to give One Plus a try. Should have stayed with Samsung.
Meh, least it was free. YMMV
Yeah same here in South Carolina. When mine got to the point of over heating and wouldn't charge back to 100 I turned it off, stuck it in the freezer for a couple of hours then plugged it in. Said something about doing an optimized charge and now it charges back to 100.

I don't think charging to 100% all the time is advisable and
putting it in the freezer sounds like a really bad idea to me especially after it has been out in the heat and humidity you are just asking to have water damage to your phone , maybe since it is so new and the condensation is pure water like distilled water you had no trouble but if there had been dust in there and it mixed with the condensation you might have had a problem and I bet you have voided your warranty , I bet the moisture strip has already turned pink
I have had phones that had no exposure to water or steam go pink on me those things are VERY sensitive

Yes the moisture could be a problem, guess I should have clarified it a bit..... I have a esd bag with dessicant in it that I threw it in. Also it has a optimised charging doohicky that won't charge it to 100% unless it's ready. That is where the won't charge all the way comes from. It sees the battery is too hot and it wont charge all the way because it will effect the battery life.

So i see there are a few other threads but none that i found were quite like this. My phone randomly restarts and goes to the white screen that says stick together and won't load back up, also when i reset or take the battery out unless i have held the phone infront of my AC in my car or put it in the fridge/freezer it will not boot back up, it has heat issues but it's not actually that hot, i used to play playstation games and it would get much hotter and not freeze like this, it randomly started happening a couple of months after I got it.
it will freeze often in any temperature that is not considered cold, even in room temperature it will do it, any time i try to load my playstation emulator or use the internet it has a very high chance or resetting and not booting,
if the phone gets warm at all though it's a garuntee that it is going to happen, it just depends on when, i could just be finishing a call, sending a text etc, it will happen, and the only cure is putting it in the fridge.
i'm going to guess I have a virus of some sort or something really messed up in the ROM, but i've switched ROM's and it still does it,
should i do the SD card hspl back to SPL and try to find a legit original rom copy or is there a better solution for this? i.e deleting all my addons and going with a different ROM?
my rom history is TOUCH XTREME, Miri and Dinik(this is where it started) and now Energy(it is still happening here)
might be a good idea to go back to stock, though you dont need to remove hspl at this stage, just flash your phones original rom over usb, and have a real close look at the battery pins, they can often get bent leading to all kinds of reboot issues.
If its still the same under stock rom, then maybe remove hspl (no need for sd card flashing, can remove it using hspl2/hspl3(for tmous))
one of my pins was actually bent a while back! i bent it back to the shape it's supposed to be and used a safety pin to widen it back up so it looks like the rest, do you think that caused permanent damage? and if so is there something i can do to the pins to make it work right again? and not reset so easily
Well, i reflashed the stock SPL and ROM and yeah it won't even turn back on, just stays on the white stick together screen. it's done, being replaced by tmobile next week.
hmm, could be, perhaps if the pin is cracked a little, affecting power flow. not sure what to suggest.
I got the exact same problem as lllpulselll. I have already done a lot of things but none of them worked for me.
I did an hard reset
Tryed a lot of different rom's
Used the telephone al while without SD-card but still the same problem.
But I read somewhere that ik could also been your Sim-card, is that logic or not?
And by me also one of the pins by the battery is not right so I will that try to.
(Sorry for that bad English)
looks similar to overheating, you could install BattClock (it can monitor batery temperature) to check whether the self-reset happens at the same conditions,
had the same issue, finished with new mainboard (replaced under warranty),
during worst moments before repair I had to put my Leo in the fridge for few minutes before it could restart

That's probably it then, probably bent the metal things connecting to the battery and messed up the flow causing the battery to overheat or think it's overheating somehow. sucks that that is all that's wrong with it and it has to be replaced, wish the prongs could be repaired.

not necesserilly so don't blame yourself - mine had faulty mainboard (not battery) probably from the very beginning, but as it was purchased in winter, the symptoms did not show up until late spring, when outside temps grew
This seems to be more of a software issue than a hardware issue. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the kernel as well but I'm not sure...
Anyway the touchscreen on my rooted Evo 3D with hboot 1.50 is acting up. Sometimes it completely freezes up, and other times when I try and press different parts of the screen, like the the app drawer it just doesn't register. When it freezes up it also affects the soft buttons at the bottom of the phone.
I've tried wiping it several times, and I've also tried this across several different roms, even nandroids, and it is still causing problems.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Try calibrating your screen threw settings to see if that helps.

I had that thought too but it still didn't work. I should also mention that the only way to "fix" the screen temporarily is to hit the power button and then hit it again to wake it back up. It usually does the trick... for a little bit. Also sometimes it just goes berserk and start pressing things without me even touching the screen
Are you running any kind of lockscreen program such as widgetlocker? I had similar problems when doing so, all issues stopped when I uninstalled.

Sorry man, was stabbin in the dark. good luck.
Think it's the Digitizer...
I have the same problem with an Evo3D hboot 1.5 also. It is rooted (ship s-on) I've had the phone for about 4 months, taken good care of it, and thus thought this bug was a software issue as well...
This is what I've tried:
-Factory Data Reset
-Restore Backup partition to original ROM
-Tried different ROMs (sense3.0, olympian xe, sicksense vX)
-Deleted and reformatted SD card
-Leaving SD card unmounted
It seems to be a popular issue, and after searching the CDMA Development forums I have found at least two other threads on the same topic here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398048
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383707
I don't have insurance, and rooting hboot1.5 is not reversible, for it is permanently recorded on the bootloader, so I'm assuming that my local Sprint representative will be of little help in the matter. From what I can find it would seem that our options are limited to:
A.) Replacing the Digitizer/LCD assembly. Looks like this runs between $70-$120. Here is a solid video on YouTube demonstrating how to remove and replace the Digitizer/LCD:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suS34kNNuLo
B.) Replace the Digitizer only. From what I've gathered this is a risky maneuver which is best left to professionals with the *right* equipment, however is a much cheaper option, Digitizers are around $20.
I left a message with a local cell repair shop asking if they could replace the digitizer without a new LCD, and expect a response tomorrow probably.
Unless anybody has found an alternate cause/solution to this problem, which I would be eternally grateful for, looks like hardware replacement is the only solution.
2 questions one are you guys using screen protectors some of them will cause issues crazy ones from random clicking to unresponsive screen . Also are you using your phone out in the cold weather or really humid out ? A cold screen and hot hands will also wig it out.
I have a Zagg screen protector, which Radioshack carries for numerous phones; however it was installed when I bought the phone, four months ago, therefore I cannot imagine it would suddenly be the problem.
Also, the screen glitches at room temperature, at the most unfortunate times.
I just flashed Timat Kernels, with no results....

I have a zagg on mine I put on no issues for me. How do you carry your phone ? Do you tote it around in your back pocket? Just curious. Some folks have squished there phone sitting on them and messed up the screens. Not sayin you did that . Also folks carry in pocket on hot summer days and sweat gets inside the unit and messes with it.
Also is your phone brand new or a refurbished unit?
The phone is a new unit and I try to be conscious of high-moisture situations, so hopefully that is not to blame. If anything, excessive pressure may have been the cause, from a vacuum-sealed Drycase; but I'm hoping HTC's build quality would withstand such force, which should be minimal compared to being sat on.
Others are experiencing issues with the E3D digitizer, and I'm 90% sure my phone is not misbehaving from physical/moisture damage.
Is there a moisture damage indicator that can confirm/dismiss that theory?
Thanks for the suggestions

Check the battery it has a sticker that will turn a solid color if it seen some water or high humidity. Also I think there is one inside the phone.
I have in the pass seen evo's that were refurbs or new units that were sat on the refurbs glass wasn't glued well and moisture got under the glass and screwed the screen up with random issues. New phones can have the same issues I guess if you really put pressure to it tho there sealed pretty well.
If the Digitizer was going bad from pressure your screen would have faint black lines going down it kinda like graph paper.
I have my phone in a trident kraken case it's been doing good so far.
After hours of research, countless nandroid wipes, and even a few ROMs, I have determined this to be a hardware issue! (at least in my case)
Much thanks to Landon4444 for providing a way to test for a lame digitizer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20791773&postcount=40Here's how to check if this issue is result of a faulty/worn digitizer:
In the phone dial exactly *#*#3424#*#* to access the HTC diagnostic menu.
Choose line test from available options, screen will turn black.
Draw small test squiggle.
Hold phone by corners with fingers/thumbs (landscape).
Gently, twist phone torsional-ly. *GENTLY!*
In my case, certain slight torque creates a false contact in the upper-middle of my screen. Fortunately twisting slightly in the opposite direction HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. (that was easy) However, I would not expect this tactic to work for long, and am looking into getting the digitizer replaced at the cell shop.
Evo 3d help guys!!
Okay so I just got a raise and an Evo 3D part of my boss's incentive package. (I know I have a great boss!!) but anyway its been less than a month and I haven't purchased any of the screen protector stuff or case. It is now 17 degrees in New York and I'll just drop the phone in my pocket while walking but yesterday at the beginning of a date the parking meter wouldn't take my money and upon trying to use my phone it started dialing it's own numbers and wouldn't let me enter any of the numbers for my code (to unlock). *Mind you my date kept telling me all night "Its a sign that you need the iphone" and I totally like the HTC 3D.I tried calibrating **BY THE WAY IT'S NOT ROOTED YETTT* but the only options your given is the GSensor Calibration. I've noticed that after I enter a warm area the phone starts working fine again. I've never had a smartphone and I think,upon finally getting one, that's it's totally ridiculous that the phone stops working because of the weather. At this point I think I have a faulty phone and am gonna return it to only get another 3D,but has anyone heard of this issue and if so how can I fix it. I mean like what if I had a car accident or an emergency and my "smartphone" starts acting up because of the weather???
Hey guys...I put this post up a few days ago and still haven't received a response. my timing to retunr the phone is running short so I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP PLEASE!!...Is this a normal circumstance that my phone is going through? if not I'll return it and get another one.
Its some grounding issue occuring due to maybe screen touching the main board. Its occurs on my phone very frequently and when normal occurs only if i press hard on screen
my phone also freezes up sometimes and goes crazy and it takes it some time for it to start working....
I ended up replacing the unit.it was faulty. Funny thing is I was trying to tell the guy the problem and when he grabbed it he saw it was broken.the problem worsened to the point the the phone was dialing on its own and going haywire.

Hi -- my wife's razr took a two-second swim in the toilet. We dried it, blow-dried it on a medium setting, then plopped in it a bag of rice for two days. It appears to now be functioning fine, except that it doesn't seem to be charging, even though the phone indicates that it is charging. The level stays stuck on twenty. It's discharged down to 15, then charged back up to 20, but no further. It doesn't seem like a hardware problem to me, it seems like a faulty battery read, though I of course could be mistaken. The USB connection works fine -- I've transferred all the files off the sd card. Any thoughts? Would a factory reset perhaps reset the battery stats (the phone is unrooted)? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Don't know exactly, but isn't a factory reset just the wipe of all installed data and the return to delivery state? So a "damaged" battery wouldn't be "repared" ?
But have you just tried another battery watching app? maybe this will show the true battery life? than you could be serious that it's maybe just the system app and do a factory reset / reinstall the system battery watching apk?
I've already done the factory reset and will charge overnight and see what happens. I will install a third party app though, great idea, thanks...
just let us know the result
want to know how water proof my razr is
You could try one of the battery calibration apps on the market. They simply delete the .bin file that stores battery information.
Although, I think your battery may have shorted out potentially.
Much easier solution, works on iphones every time.
(iPhones are water damaged 100% of the time when we get them for repairs, whether they've been in water or not)
Get electronics cleaner with oil, spray a small amount in the usb port and stick the usb plug in and out a few times.
Now try charging and see if it works again.
I will try this as it still isn't working. Thanks...
Shadowdancer -- are you saying this works in this situation, where the phone says it's charging but in reality it's only charging at a super minuscule rate?

Yup, virtually anything can be solved with electrical cleaner and a hard reboot on the iphones.
It solves problems with emergency charging mode that stays for 24 hours.
It solves the "This device is not supported" when trying to charge.
Also solves problems flashing the iphones with new firmware.
I also fixed one or two other brand of phones with this, but micro usb is a lot less sensitive to bad connections.
The oil also protects from wear, as the oxidation has removed the protective coating. Which is what causes the charging problems.
If that won't work though, I'd say pop the lid and clean it carefully. You won't get any warranty things through unfortunately.
Tried the electrical cleaner, it didn't seem to help matters. I called a Motorola repair facility, and they'll replace the battery for $85. I suppose it's worth a shot, though if it's not charging (even though it's still indicating that it is), I guess it could be for other reasons than a bad battery.

Well that sucks, but I guess it might work if you don't want to tear the back off yourself.
That assumes the battery to be the only thing not treated with whatever water repellent they used.
Just tried to get the phone repaired, the circuit on the board that charges the phone is corroded. Not surprised, but if anyone out there considers their phone "waterproof," well, I wouldn't.
normally you should put your phone in a pot, put some rice on it. Cook it at low temp with no oil for exactly 1:50min. Your phone will sustain no water damage.
I won't get into detail why you put rice on it, some people use salt but I wouldn't risk it for a chocolate biscuit.
PS : only use these methods when slam dunking your phone into pond/ river/bath tub/when attempting to flush your phone down the toilet wanting to get an insurance pay out/ dropping your phone in an aquarium.
i actually had this happen to me VERY early this morning. I was having problems with it rebooting it self quite often. I shook it to get the water out. About an hour later it started to operate normally.
I just was reading that you can take the back cover off (voids the warrenty but Im rooted so... ) so I did that to run a fhair dryeer on it at cool/warm to remove excess water. There was no water in the unit. even the little strip that the have with the xxx on it to test if it has been droped in water was untouched.
Love this phone!!!!!

It's a bag full of silicate balls, pretty much the stuff you get in those tiny white packets with harddrives, clothes and shoes etc.
You can get big bags of this at virtually any allround store, moisture out, "damprid" and all kinds of brands. It's a strongly moisture absorbent powder.
Btw, I could be called insane, but I usually treat my phone with "clear vue" and a color less shoe shine pad- (It contains silicone oil and some more moisture repellant.
I do this once a week.
ed: btw, you can get these blue silicate balls with ultra absorbent cat litter, 20$ buys you 10+ litres.
Yes, and they are reusable until the blue beads turn grey. They are supposed to be 700% more effective than rice. I've never needed it but bought one just in case after reading the Amazon reviews.

If you have a thermometer that you can put inside first, make damn sure it doesn't go over 60 c (140 f)
If it's digital then you can see how much it goes up and down, if it even sniffs at around 70 then you can't use your oven.
If you decide to do it, put it on a piece of cardboard paper at 50 degrees C
for 15 minutes or so.
Thanks for telling me that. I thought the person who told me that was crazy. And no it was nobody from this forum. ;-)
I will have to trade it in if i cant find a solution for my issue
Basically i have only 2 issues with my phone
1) I keep my phone in my back pocket generally, but quite often when i pull it out of my pocket, the little door for the sim card/charger has popped open........ altho it makes me a bit scared to submerge it, i can live with this
2) This is the dealbreaker, if i cant solve this the z2 will be getting sold and something else will take its place. Again this only occurs in my pocket, but every single time i pull phone out, its changed the homescreen...... widgets either get added toor removed from homescreen, apps open and run, music player starts and stops by itself, notification bar quick settings icons get added or removed, flight mode gets activated, silent activated etc
I believe this is caused ny the screen reacting to metals, wood and lead, is therea way to turn this feature off so it will only work with my finger touching the screen?
As i said, its a fantastic phone and id like to keep it, but as long as it gonna keep doing these random things in my pocket then its just not worth keeping

Your flap is defective. Same thing happened to me. I've bought a new flap (for about 10€) and now it's fine.
Then, don't open your flap too often, prefer wireless file transfer and charging via magnetic port.

The screen will still respond to metal objects and pencil lead etc, but it should be activated by your backside through your jeans anymore.
Crap..... glove mode is not switched on........ guess it gotta go up for sale then. Will be sad to see it go tho, n yeah already got magnetic charger n wireless connect.... ive only actually opened that door twice lol
Or another possibility, as im rooted, is there something i could remove/freezethat will stop the screen responding to other materials????
Not to my knowledge. It's strange, I often carry mine in my back pocket (screen facing inwards) and have never had the screen turn on. I can't say the same for my G3 which often turns the screen on.
Since it is isolated case and no one else expierenced this as far as i can tell its user error, you got dodgy apps or there is something wrong with the way you handle the phone.

Since it is isolated case and no one else expierenced this as far as i can tell its user error, you got dodgy apps or there is something wrong with the way you handle the phone.

possibly but i wouldnt have thought so..... i dont treat this phone any differently to any other phone ive owned (well.... actually i havent thrown the z2 across the room...... yet, lol) and as far as apps go, i only actually have 5 or 6 downloaded apps installed, all of which i have used without issue on previous phones, and deleted around half of the useless (to me) pre loaded system apps, and its been doing it since i had it, well since a few days after i got it, but the first few days were a weekend and i wasnt at work just chilling at home so phone didnt really go in pocket

Actually yesi do have that switched on..... even if that the cause tho, my work trousers arent made of wood,metal or lead so screen shouldnt be responding to my backside. I will turn it off n see how it goes tho, it might be the cause but then again you gotta be quite precise for that double tap t work anyway and my backside is tiny lol so maybe not........ great suggestion tho

Well I just tried my phone unlocked against my jeans and it still detects and operates the screen... So you never know
Steve
I have knock on turned off - otherwise when walking with the phone in my pocket listening to the FM radio, I end up sending several texts and emails....
Update: It appears it was actually the 'tap to wake' causing the issue..... i turned it off and went to work friday night and when i got home saturday morning phone was exactly how it should have been, no open apps, no options changed, no icons removed. Nice feature but think ill leave it off forever lol
Hello to everyone, a few days ago my watch started shutting down after a while, sometimes write after boot and sometimes after 5 or 10 minutes or so. I tried reverting to stock settings (factory reset) also sync it with a new account from other phone, I even installed Everest Rom and still it shuts down after a few minutes. Also sometimes it gets very hot, all over the watch not only at the bottom or the front glass.
The watch is in my possession for around 1,5 year and it is the international version.
Same behavior, is the result of water geting in...
How is that possible , it is water resistant!?
Did you open it easily?

It was used a year, never taken off the hand unless charging., so it got into sea swiming, hot showers/baths, everything, and i did not kept it in clean water for 10 min, or what the manual says... . So all that chemicals and salt afected the seals ...
It was opened by the service guys, i sent it for waranty, which they ofcourse void it (apparantely no device is covered by waranty if liquides get inside them ... ?!?)
I will try to test if is fixable by my self.... with no water resistance...
Thank you my friend for your time and answers, I will try to open it and see if this is wrong with my watch too. Last year after every swim I did clean it up but this year I never did so maybe this is what happened to mine also.
My problem was not from getting water in

Can't really tell from the image, but it looks like there is some corosion/oxidation on the capacitors near the sensor ? (seems like some green/blue colored contacts). If so, maybe try to gentaly clean it, it could make electrical contact between components that should not be in contact.
Also look at the battery and see if there is any visible damage to it
... my battery is 0 volts, and a little puffy, i will try to see if it takes charge.
If yours got extremely hot as mine did, pls consider the safty issues of the situation

I think you are wright my friend, I 'll get back home and see it more closely and try to clean it up and see if that helps.
Well you were wright about sensor
I tried to clean as good as I could but with no luck , I also checked the battery and it seemed ok to me.
Then I decided to cut the sensor power by cutting the cable that connects to it and then booted up the watch and everything is working fine ,no shutdowns, no overheating problems and no battery consumption at all. I guess that the sensor is no longer working at all and it isn't anymore waterproof but at least I have a fully functional watch until i decide what to do. Thanks again for pointing out the corrosion-oxidation of the sensor. The only thing I cannot comprehend is how did that happen to the sensor capacitors, since there where no moisture inside the watch!?!?
Thanks again my friend!
