I've had a speck case on my phone from day one. I've also had problems with my phone shutting off while on the charger and off. I removed it a few days ago and have not experienced the problem again thus far. I'm not really sure if the problem is cured. I have an app that monitors battery temp and it never seems to go above 77 degrees or so no matter what the situation, but I think this may be false. So, I'm wondering, could it be possible that having a case on my phone is causing it to overheat and shut off?
I have a speck case as well and I think it is an issue. I removed it for a few days and had no reboot issues. I put it back on because I dropped and scratched my phone and I had one reboot a few hours later.

my problem is very similar to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024733
i took my original captivate, that i got when they first came out in to att yesterday because my lock/power button was giving me problems. They gave me a new phone and i was on my way. i was happy with this phone at first, because the gps was great and the one in my old cappy might has well not even been in there it sucked so bad. When i got home, i set it down on my desk, and it shut off. anytime i set it down without gently placing it on the surface, it shuts off.
it seems that the top corner of the phone, by the camera and charging port is the most sensitive; i can tap it with my finger and the phone turns off.
has anyone else had this problem? my original captivate had the actual random shutdown problem, but when i flashed any roms besides stock, that went away, and that is not the case with this phone. AT&T are sending me another phone, but i was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Best bet, get it replaced. Could be loose connections anywhere inside the phone.
After I had my battery replaced I started having shutdown issues so I figured the battery could be loose. I put a piece of paper to hold it tight to the back cover. since then never had a shutdown.

Yeah sounds like a loose connection object the battery. Best to just get it replaced or buy a new battery. If the new battery doesn't fix it you will still have a spare.

I woke up this morning and found my phone was mildly wet on the bottom. I slid open the keyboard to make sure it wasn't wet everywhere and it wasn't. After I dried off the bottom and started using it it began getting wet again. When I opened the battery cover to investigate I found the source of the liquid and immediately pulled the battery out. There is now discoloration on the battery and inside the battery hutch. The battery appears to have stopped leaking this liquid but it has only been an hour. I am obviously concerned that this has damaged my phone. The phone was working though when I checked my email and discovered it was wet.
When I researched it said Lithium ion batteries aren't supposed to leak but this is the only explanation I can come up with. The phone wasn't near water and since the top half of the phone wasn't wet, this must be the case.
Is my phone damaged?
Can I use the old battery from the TP2 (both batteries say RHO160 on them)?
Very strange. Can't you just swap it out at a Sprint location?
ummm get that switched out immediately. new battery, new phone, whatever...just get it taken care off. That ain't good at all.
I can't just go to a sprint store because I don't live in the US heh. My phone is unbranded so I'm waiting for HTC to respond.
The phone is still working fine but I'm using the battery from my TP2 and it's been working since early afternoon yesterday. I'm still worried it might start acting up though, fingers crossed.
I have 5 Arrives (five members of the family, each with their own......I really do like the phone). One of our phones gets excessively hot when charging via USB from a computer (but not when charging via the wall plug). How were you charging it?
Even still, I suspect there is some sort of power management issue in some of them phones.
I was charging from the wall plug, not from USB. The only time my phone gets warm is if I'm playing games on it for over an hour .
What happened to your battery mate. My phone also heats up a bit more these days and I am interested in what to expect.
Cheers,
I put my phone to charge last night at 11 pm and i left it near my pillow, than at around 3 am i woke up and touched my phone and it felt like it was burning, it felt like a stove not just a little hot, i could barely hold it because my hands were burning, i unplugged it and put it on the floor and took out the battery and left it there until 8 and now im afraid to charge it, i wonder why it overheated while charging :/ what should i do now call T-Mobile and ask for a replacement G2X?
Whitehawx MIUI 1.12.02
Faux 0.46
Lay it on its face while charging if it's setting on cloth or anything like that seems like it ventilates through the back. Mine got up to 118 one night no problems after it cooled

Either your hands are the most sensitive to mankind or you are exaggerating or your phone is toasted. I suggest rebooting the phone after you plug it in to charge. Something I usually do and never have an issue with overheating.

Give T-mobile a call and get a replacement (If they will even allow it) If not get another battery. Friend of mine who talked me into getting this phone had that same problem. He had 2 batteries and 1 would overheat and get hot. once he changed to the other, things worked fine. But with all the problems that I have read that some others have with this phone, it wouldn't surprise me if you had some kind of hardware failure.
Though I have yet to see a problem with this phone. So..
Happened to me before.
This has happened to me with every single custom roms I have run on the phone. If I use either the stock 2.3.3 gingerbread rom or lotherius' tsugi rom based on stock 2.3.4 then this doesn't seem to happen.
im gonna call them and get a replacement plus my g2x has very bad screen bleeding all 4 corners and in the middle - right of the screen it looks horrible :/
it happened again, it shuts off when its charging and it gets really hot to the point where i have to unplug it and leave the battery out of the phone for a few minutes to let it cool down
Hey guys today my One x felt in to the toilet. I was lucky enough to take the phon out of the water almost immedietlley. I tooked it out, and everything was working when i turned it on.But i was afraid of the water. So i put down the phone on the screen for it to dry on the sun.after a couple of minutes i checked my phone if everythings working and everything was still good.But then i put the phone on the back after a couple of minutes i came back the screen was flickering and got black.Put the phone back on the screen again, booted it and worked fine again.I read on the internet hoiw to fix a wet phone. And this is what ive done.I turned it off, but fastboot was on( dont know if it makes a difference).Took out the sim card, took the phone out of the case, left it on the sun for a half hour and bought some rice.Ive putted it into rice and its there for about 3-4 hours.And did i do everything good, should it work ?

Shouldn't matter if it was on fastboot, that connects to a pc.. never saw one connect to rice yet. Seriously I would have turned it off being it was still wet. Just make sure it's dry before you start using it. Water bridges the wrong gap and ur phone will short something out. Wait a full 24 hours imo.

You should have powered off the phone completely, as soon as you took it out of the water, then dried it out as much as possible before powering on again. Having the phone on, while water is inside causes short circuits, which fry the phone.
I'd say, power off the phone completely (no Fast boot), and dry out the phone as much as you can, before powering it on again. Keep the phone in a bag of rice for a a day or 2 (or longer, if you can). Keeping it in a warm (but not hot) area might help drying, as well. Then see if it powers on. The phone might might keep working fine, or might work for a while and die. Short of taking the phone apart (not for everyone) and try to dry it out more, there isn't much else that can be done.
My wife dropped her iPhone 5 in the toilet about a month after it was released. She turned it off right after she got it out of the toilet, then took it to the Genius Bar. The Apple tech took the phone apart, and dried it best they could. She told my wife the phone might turn on, might not. Or might work for a while, then just stop working one day. No real rhyme or reason to it, and not much else you can do about it. Her phone has been working fine ever since.

Pretty sure he means the Sense option in Settings>Power>Fast boot; not the fastboot/adb interface.
Power off with Fast boot is not a true power off, but a deep sleep state. Might not make a huge difference. But if it were me, I would probably have turned off Fast boot in Settings before powering off and drying it.
Hmmm, what would happen if i would dry it when the phone was on.Would it be a 100 percent destroy?
No, it all depends on how much water got inside, and whether it got in a spot where it caused a short circuit. It might still be alright. But powering off completely is the safest way.

Never done this myself but saw the end result.. a guy I know propped up a hair dryer and turned it on low.. about 8-10 inches away ( adjust distance u want it warm, not burning hot.) Phone on in airplane mode. Don't need extra heat doing this. Ran hair dryer on and off for 3 days or so and the moisture slowly evaporated and display came back. This is just a suggestion, his went from horrible to very much tolerable.

A few people here have gotten moisture under the screen glass, and I think they were able to dry it our using various methods. Warm (but not hot) air is good, and also lots of air exchange to speed evaporation. So the previously recommended blow dryer on low would work nicely, as it fits both of those descriptions. Some folks have also recommended on top of your refrigerator (almost always warm), and in front of a fan might help too.
haha skorry i know thos is late but just found the post. I put my phone in to rice for 48 hours. Took it out and there was little water under display. Everything came out and phone was just washed. Htc one x was a good phone.

I have been using nilkin tempered glass since i bought my phone in december. The phone was running fine till recently. One day i was on a bike ride and was using my opo as gps navigator with a bike mount on my bike. I had used my phone for some 30 minutes as gps navigator.
After 30 minutes i took a break and removed the phone from the bike mount. I found my phone extremely hot. It must be around 70-80 degrees celcius range. ( my phone usually goes to 62-65 in cpu temp app while gaming or some heavy processes, so i know the phone was way hotter than usual by feeling). At that time the phone didnt show any touch sensitivity loss and i shut my phone down.
Since that day my phone is not same. Everytime i go into sun or outside or the phone remains in pocket for some time the phone gets warmer and i lose touch sensitivity. The phone doesnt unlock using swipes. Very difficult to type.
But as soon as the phone gets time to cool down or remains in AC for around 20 minutes it becomes like nothing happened. Its functions normally.
Today i removed my Nilkin tempered glass(its broke while removing so cant be put again). Now will be monitoring for few days to see if tempered glass was the culprit. If not i am going for warranty replacement.

This seems to be quite a common problem. It happens to me too - especially when I carry my OPO in my pocket.
Oneplus are aware of the problem and they almost had a fix (I think in the 15 and 16 of May CM12.1 nightly) but it drained the battery so it's been pulled for now. Hopefully they'll come back with a non-battery-draining fix soon.

Maybe we all must ask Synaptics for a fix, or ask for the status. OnePlus isn't communicating with us!

I have the same problem too... Though the fix has been removed from the CM12s, some of the custom rom (Resurrection remix) has included without the battery drain bug. I tried it and works smoothly. If you are rooted and can't wait for the official fix, you can change the rom and try.
