I got a replacement battery from T-Mobile about a week ago for the G2X and since I've been using it I have had ZERO sleep of deaths or charging related issues. The phone runs much much cooler as well.
I remember with my old battery a few times when I had the sleep of death and had to pull the battery the battery was rather warm and there was an odor like it was overheating. Also there were times when the phone just felt hot while charging or in use. This no longer also happens.
I still get reboots but I believe strongly that to be a software issue since my reboots used to be every 18-20 hours and now after some app changes the phone usually lasts 30-40 hours before it reboots.
So if you are having sleep of death issues or charging related problems, get your battery swapped out!
My old battery had a 3/28/11 date and my new one has a 4/28/11 date so anything after 4/28/11 should be safe.
good to hear.. my new battery should be here today.
got my replacement yesterday. 14 hours uptime but I'm not holding my breath for any difference. I only got sod like 3 times the entire time I've had the phone.
I'm getting my replacement battery Monday so lets hope that's the issue.
I really think it's a temperature problem with the battery. When I lay the phone battery down, and charge it, sleep of death. When I have the protective case on and charge it, SoD. When I have the phone sitting on it's side, kind of standing up while charging, no SoD. Also, when driving and it's in sunlight with the case on, I get the SoD. Without the case, no SoD.
I can only gather that the battery is bad and gets too hot, forcing a shutdown.
49 hours 15 minutes uptime and not a single SOD or reboot. Phone runs noticeably cooler while charging also. SOD may be due to the battery afterall.
old battery dated 4/16, new one 4/23 so I dont think date has anything to do with it.
Please answer me....
I have the same problem and i ask you that battery replace solve the problem indeed...

Call t-mobile. I'm sure it will be a warranty not an insurance claim. If not, just bought an OEM battery for $5 on amazon

hey all, maybe its just my paranoid self, but i just want to be sure;
i was charging my phone, and at the same time, i was playing slice it. suddenly i realized that the back of the phone was getting really hot, and i checked the temperature. it was about 45c, and i was gettin freaked out, so i took the batttery and put in the fridge for like 10 seconds, before realizing that was a stupid mistake. after about 5 minutes, it cooled back down to 30.5c. i believe that perhaps the battery was around 45c for about a minute or so.
I was just wondering, do you think my battery life will suffer from my idiotic antics? Im a bit worried that itll have a significant impact, even if it was for a few minutes? Did i 'burn' out some of the lithium ion cells?
much help appreciated!
thanks alot!
Just curious, does only your battery get warm, or does the top half of the phone (above the battery) got hot too?
Phone only overheated when I had bluetooth and wifi running while charging

its just the back of the phone where the battery is located
Mine did the exact same thing last night with fruit ninja of all things. I also put my whole phone in the fridge for one minute and it dropped the battery temp from 45c to 38c. The battery condition also said "overheated" instead of "good" which it has said since then.

I don't think anyone really knows and begging for an answer is a quick way to get flamed.
I know that if you were to rapidly cool metal or another material in that same manner, it would crack. I don't know if that same issue would apply to batteries. I definitely wouldn't put anything overheated directly into a frozen environment like that.

+1 not a great idea, just take battery out and let it sit
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Mine had the same problem. Whenever i put it on charge it would heat up within minutes and then upon unplugging it would cool down. I read somewhere in the forum to discharge completely and then recharge to full. I did that and its been 1 week since that and no problems with overheating and battery life is also improved. My battery`s health is still GOOD i checked using * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # *
Hope this helps.
I undervolted the cpu. Overheating almoat stopped. I swapped battery and has been better since. Usually running two quadrants i would start feeling it get hotter and hotter. On new battery i run four an don't notice any major change.
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel
out of the blue overheating
My phone was awesome...but now it overheats....??
I am going to try and undervolt and see if that helps my problems but my phone just goes crazy hot when it's asleep and idk what to do, even w/ a new warranty phone, and i could tell it's new cause it still had the green tap by the buttons and stuff...the old one got crazy hot, but only after cm7 build33....and this was also after i changed the recovery to 3101 ext4 supported one....can a recovery affect your roms (overheat it) i would't think so, it only loads on command idk how it would....hmmmmm my vibrant would be a dead cold 28-29c when on idle/sleep but w/ this phone it just gets hot and is about 37-43 when doing nothing.....i'm going to try the undervolt thing w/ cm7 latest build and faux123's kernel 0.1.1 and try to undervolt it, i'll search thru that thread for good undervolting starting points...and play w/ that......idk i'm just confused why it is just now happening and not before, i had it on launch day and no problems till last week....i'm lost..
I've been using it for ten minutes on the charger and for some reason the screen brigntness was low. So I went to the settings and it says "to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced".. and my temperature is 47 degrees now. Anyone elses phone getting hot?

This used to happen with my Samsung Vibrant 4g... i believe you could burn the phone if it continues, it might be a factory issue.
Same here, charging on the wall charger with screen off, it hit 47c and won't go to max brightness.
I've also jist noticed after 50% the charging time decreases significantly. I went from 50% to 90% in 45 min

Mine got hot and I lost all service. It was up to about 93% charge and it just lost all cellular service. I had it rooted but didnt carrier unlock it. Got a replacement phone this morning and Im leaving it alone to see how it does while charging. With the long charge times this could be an issue. Not everyone can let a device set and not mess with it for 3-4 hours, lol I know I cant.

Technically I don't think you are supposed to be using your phone while on the charger... This happens to all phones just some heat up faster than others.... My old ATT Startac did that, SE W900, Captivate, and this one.
It really kills the life of the battery too as well. Nature of the beast....

Just an update, charged past 50% on the new phone and its picking up speed and charging much faster. Temp is steady at 87F. Seems like I really just had a bad unit because the other phone got up to 116F just charging with the screen off.

Hi everyone, and merry Christmas. I have an odd battery issue that has been driving me nuts! Every night when i turn my G2x off I lose between 15% and 45% if my battery life. I know this is not an issue with my battery because if i turn off my G2x and pull the battery out when i put the battery back in in the morning the won't even be one percent lost.
I have had this issue on multiple rooms and with multiple kernels. I have had this on EaglesBlood, cyanogen, weapon, and miui. I have had the stock cyanogen kernel, trinity kernel and faux123 kernel. The only time i haven't had this problem was back before i rooted my phone.
Any help you all could give would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

Note the battery charge percent, pull battery, put it back in, let sit overnight, turn on, note battery charge. If it discharged more than a percent or two, phone is probably faulty because it is drawing current when totally off.
This actually happens to me when I leave it off at work for a couple hours. Confuses me as well...

Phone must be drawing current while it's off, which I am pretty sure is happening to me as well. Damnit.

It is obvious that shutting off from the menu isn' t doing what it should, completely shutting off the phone. Backup your ROM then install a vanilla ROM without any additional apps, note battery percent then shutdown from menu and leave overnight then, in the morning boot it up and note if the battery drained. If it didn't, the problem is either an app or the kernel or rom you previously had installed.
So i temporarily went back to a stock ROM and it didn't seen to have the problem. Which sucks because i really don't want to go back to stock....

By trying another battery.
I'm in the process of getting the ankers, but my stock battery is trash period, my battery stats show like that, I can be at 30% then reboot and be at like 5, but I can plug in before a reboot and then be at like 50%. I know its going to kill my battery eventually like it did on my buddies G1, and I know that's an old phone but his was doing these same exact things and one day he took it off charge at 100% and 30 seconds later went dead and we never got that battery back.
Last night when I got home my battery was like 30% and I was showing off pix from the zoo my ds just decided to say low battery and shut down. So I gave it 5 and brought it back up with 20%? So I would def think its the battery, seems how hot the stock one gets

Exactly same problem. Sometimes it would be at 12% like for 1 1/2 hour until it gets to 11%. I noticed that my battery drain pretty fast when it gets hot. Eventually my battery works great,I think is the phone. Where I can find de ankers at the lowest price?

Amazon.com or ebay
been on bamf final for several months. battery fully charges and then goes from 100 to sudden reboot after 5 minutes or so. After reboot, battery is usually at 3-10 or so. No sudden reboots while plugged in. Awaiting a new battery from ebay. Any other ideas what this might be?
Id guess its battery mostlikely. If that dont fix it, unroot back to stock, see if it still does it, then call in.

To me, it sounds like a new battery will fix the problem here.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I hear a new battery might fix it.
Occasionally I'll look and see my phone battery has gone from 84% to 71% or something drastic like that- I look at the battery use graph and see a random and no-slope dropoff, happens when the phone screen is off, not in use at all.
Otherwise expect a reboot to suck 10%-20% of your battery.
OP here -- new battery in and working fine.
