I experienced this for the first time on ARHD 3.6.2. It typically generates quite a bit of heat when I'm either watching a movie or playing games in-between classes. I thought it might be the ROM so I switched over to InsertCoin 3.3.1 and same problem. I'm running stock kernel with 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2. Anybody experiencing the same thing or have any ideas how to prevent this?
Thanks
Mine has always heated up while performing either of those tasks on any rom. You might want to look into a custom kernel that you can undervolt a little bit and that might help.
Is your phone new? If so then it could be the problem. Well not problem, but after a while it should go away.

Relatively, I mean the sensation has only been out a few months. I think I bought mine a couple weeks after it was released in June.
Maybe since the roms are overclocked, your cpu can't handle it? just a suggestion
It's a possibility. Just seems odd, hundred of thousands of people have downloaded these two roms. I haven't overclocked it past the 1.5GHz. The Dr. Dre edition of the Sensation has the same processor and it's overclocked as well. When I was running earlier versions of ARHD I never noticed it.
Maybe you just got a lemon lol, try to exchange it!
Mine overheats when gaming on any custom ROM .. but it didn't in stock ROM?

So my first Inspire apparently had a GPS radio issue, it would never lock on, Navigation wouldn't work, etc. I was running Revolution 3.1 Sense ROM and Set CPU OC to 1.2ghz. Phone worked great apart from the GPS issue.
I exchanged the first phone yesterday for one with GPS that works great and proceeded to set it up exactly like the first phone, Revolution 3.1 Sense, Set CPU OC to 1.2. But the moment I started Set CPU and it acquired SU permission the phone locked up. And I mean completely locked up, even the live wallpaper stopped moving. I had to do a battery pull and a factory reset just to get the phone to boot again.
I tried everything to get it to work, reflashed the Buzz kernel, reflashed the ROM, flashed a different ROM and then flashed back, restored the ROM from my previous phone. No luck, Set CPU locks up the new phone.
The phone still works great, but it concerns me that Set CPU worked before just fine and doesn't work now. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix? Is it possible HTC made a hardware revision after the first production run that is now causing compatibility issues with OC kernels?
Actually just ran into this today. I have two inspires and the first one I got does fine with oc and setcpu but the one I just picked up causes instafreeze when trying to oc. I was going return it and grab another to see if it was just my particular phone but am curious now that I have seen your post.
Sorry to hear that, but so glad I'm not the only one! If you exchange the one that freezes please let me know the result!
Damn that sucks to hear, I had an inspire on launch day, returned it just cause I wasn't too happy with it and got the atrix. The bootloader issue makes that phone useless to me so I returned it and picked up another inspire off contract, and this one performs WAAAAY better than the first one did stock. Even Linpack confirms. My first ones top score when stock never topped 38 or so, deff. never hit 40 stock. This one consistently hits 41+, and I was just thinking there may have been a software update since then that slightly improve CPU performance but didn't look into it at all. Hopefully this isn't a new batch that HTC did something stupid to, but ill find out tonight.

I kinda think this too. My first one was a launch unit, I bought it a day or two after they hit shelves. This new one is getting Quadrant scores as high as my first one with no OC.
Has there been any software updates since launch or no

No idea, I was so focused on custom ROMs since I've owned it I haven't noticed if anything official came out.
Well, looks like I might have my answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12074403&postcount=2056
Still don't know why one phone would work and the other wouldn't though.
Just an update:
Went and got a different inspire today and it does not have the problem with locking up.

Weird. So I updated to the new Revolution ROM with the updated Buzz kernel that's supposed to fix the issue and my new phone still locks up. So there has to be two different version of this phone out in the field, unless someone who knows more than me can tell me what's up.
If I was you i would swap it out if you still can so you don't have to worry about the issue.
What excuse did you use the second time
First time I swapped I had a legit reason with the GPS not working, I'll have to think about what to tell them this time since I can't say "Set CPU can't overclock this phone once it's rooted."
I'm still hoping someone knows what this is though, pretty sure it's not a defect since the phone actually works better than my first one, everything else considered.
This might be just my imagination playing tricks on me, but after rooting/Soff/Flashing my Inspire, I seem to notice that the interface is not quite so snappy as it was with the stock AT&T ROM. I've observed it with both the rooted base stock ROM from Bubby and with the RCMiXHD_v5.1 Gingerbread ROM.
I just rooted mine last night, and it seemed a tad slow (Milliseconds ) until I restarted it, now, theres not enough difference for me to care.
Wait, scratch that, my slowness was caused by a messed up set cpu setting, my phone was fine last night and today under normal circumstances.
Hmmm... ok, so how does one change the CPU setting?

Most gingerbread roms are going to be a little laggy for the simple fact that the base is a leaked version of gingerbread. Until they get a fully operational version with source released or port the Desire Z rom it will continue to run a little slow.
Try flashing ClearDroid or TCP stock, you will be able to tell a difference in speed.

you will need to download "setcpu" to allow for overclock.
I have tried 4 different radios and this phone still randomly reboots with frequency. I am the the 802 radio and it seems even worse then earlier radios. I am currently on gingerritis rom which i installed yesterday and have probably had 12 reboots since then.
Is it a combination of the rom and radio, or does just the radio make the phone reboot? I am really just tempted to flash it back to stock, sell it with the warning of this phone enjoys random reboots and get another phone.
while i typed this up it just rebooted twice on its own
I dont think the radio is what is going to fix the reboot issue. I know for some of the roms the fix was flashing the ziggy kernel.
Maybe give that a shot.

If hes using gingeritis, hes already using ziggy's kernel. Sounds weird i know, but try a new battery

i think overclocking to high and all the kernel cpu mods are whats causing this, not the radios.

I agree. Ziggy's stock voltage settings are very conservative north of about 1.5GHz. If you're tweaking it, definitely pay attention to the voltage.
nope not touching voltage or overclocking, i just put rom on thats about as far as i go tweaking phone.
Installed M0N0LITHTH3ORY rom and so far no reboots today, the gingeritis one must hate my phone cause in the less than 24 hours it was on the phone damn thing rebooted easy 10 times. But now this one is giving me some unexpected errors with weather app. I will give this one a week and see how it does and if no good on to next rom i guess.

Have you ever formatted /system?
yeah every time i put new rom i go into clockwork recovery
i wipe / factory reset
then format /system /cache /data
and wipe davlik cache
then install rom
double post...
i know my phone didnt like a few different roms. try a diffeerent one. also try doing each step 3 times. i did that after my phone rebooted on an a0sp rom by droidtheroy, after that it worked just fine on the rom that was rebooting
You know what? I was having the same problem and tired as hell of my TB. I was so tired of the little problems and the large rebooting problem that I had learned to really hate this phone.
A few days ago I decided to just use the new leaked, stock, unrooted, GB 210 RUU and give that one more try before I either took a hammer to this phone or unrooted and tried to get VZW to replace it.
I've had the latest leaked RUU on this phone for a few days now and I'm loving it again. Yeah, stock, unrooted, but also super fast GPS locking, fast 3g/LTE switching, no more reboots, not one. Battery is actually not bad at all after turning off a few of the stock bloat like Blockbuster. The gui is fast and smooth, I can't say whether or not it is as fast as it was when I was running custom ROMs but as far as I'm concerned its a big who cares. I now have a nicely working phone again. This is just my experience and my opinion, YMMV!

I got reboots with gingeritis and liquid ROMs, I've had no reboots in a week now running Virus' Synergy ROM. Try a different ROM, it should fix your problems.
Here's a link to Virus' work:

Second the ROM recommendation. Try a different one. I had the same issue with wanting to grenade this thing until I found a combo of ROM and radio that was stable for my use and applications.
Now I wouldn't think of tossing this phone.

Stability and battery life good for me with stock 1.70.605.0. Currently at 868 hours uptime.
yeah i am on monolith rom and so far no reboots, i am going to give this one a shot for now, hopefully this cures it.
Hi All,

I then flashed this over it:

Whenever I am gaming etc with the device though it gets very hot.
Even before I put the Bricked Kernel over it still got extremely hot when playing games (eg GLWG).
Just wondering if this is something everyone experiences or if it is just my device or if it happens to some phones but not others?
Thanks

Its a very common problem. I think its cause of the running gpu. Happens to me too. Nothing to be distressed about.

Cool, glad to hear it.
Was worrying that maybe the OC'ing hadn't been done properly so wasn't toning down the CPU when it was running too fast and hot.
Was also thinking maybe I had a duff phone and needed to try swap it for a different one
DO NOT WORRY
You could maybe use an app to slower down your speed on your phone if that doesn't work. THIS ONLY WORKS ON ROOTED PHONES
I suggest using the (anTuTu CPU master) on the Google play store.

Hey guys,
My HOXL is currently running ViperXL 2.20, the Beast Mode Kernel at 1.8ghz and -25mv undervolting, sweep2wake and sweep2unlock enabled, as well as aznrice's audio mods. (VooDoo Mode). I'm using the SIO scaler and the smartassv2 governor, occasionally intellidemand.
The thing dun lags. It's slow, unresponsive, choppy. It seems as though my free ram gets eaten up rather quickly, but I get general lag even when it's empty. I don't use any task killers either, I let android take care of that part.
I get wake lag, homescreen lag (Apex Launcher Pro), lag when launching apps, lag while scrolling through apps, just lag. My quadrant is great, in the upper 5000 range, but that doesn't reflect real world performance at all.
It seems as though the lag comes and goes. One minute it'll be fine and fairly responsive, and the next minute it won't. It's usually the latter though. I've tried clean flashing the rom, no success.
What could be wrong here? I played with the HOX+ at AT&T today and I loved it, but I'm reluctant to buy it because of the T3's horrendous DAC. I was even thinking of just going for a Galaxy Note II, and I hate Samsung.
Thanks in advance.
Buy a new phone when you mess yours up?..where have I read this before......?hmm..I do not get any lag whatsoever on viper. Have you even tried reflashing,changing back to stock,factory reset etc.. are you past your 30 Days...by the way new phones come out every month literally so their will always be one faster. You just seem like the person who switches phones because the phone you have you caused the problems...

Not quite. The HOXL's measly 16gb of memory is killing me, otherwise I love the phone. I'm just in the position to sell the HOXL for double what I paid, get a new phone using someone else's line (because they don't want to upgrade...lol) and profit The only reason I'm not jumping into this decision is because I'd like to see what comes in the next few months. 64gb is awesome though. I got my HOXL on launch day, so I'm way past the 30 day window. I do realize that phones will just become faster, but I'm not too big on the lag I'm seeing here that often makes the phone unusable. It's pretty bad dude.
I've tried reflashing, factory reset numerous times, nothing. Initially, the phone will be snappy as usual, but over the course of a couple of days the lag just comes back. Then again, I was comparing ICS to the smoothness of JB on the HOX+. This lag I'm getting is just something I haven't seen happen before. What kernel are you using? Governor, etc? OC/UV?
Viper has been pretty zippy for me lately...avoid restore system apps...if you're reporting this after a couple hours of usage...wait a couple days and than report back

I only restore my user apps and data, never the system stuff. This is after a week or two of usage, I started using Viper when it was on 1.2.4 a little while ago. The incremental updates did speed it up a bit, but my phone seems to be "choking" to get things done.
Trust me you'll see another jaw dripping HTC released around April I say it even sooner so if you can wait with your one xl you'll have a very good phone.... The one x+ does seem very tempting though

That's why I'm holding off a bit lol. I'm assuming that in the near future, Android will match up to/efficiently use the hardware being delivered, essentially becoming synergistic.
Using viper xl with the total opposite of your experience man, try to flash the elemental kernel. Im using it with noop.scheduler and intellidemand governor with UC to 1,3ghz and it has NEVER, for real,been lagged once

I would not buy anything new right now. Wait until we get a GSM version of the Droid DNA, which makes the One X+ look outdated already.
I was considering that, I really wish att had the DNA.

Have you ever been satisfied with the responsiveness of the phone on a stock rom or was it always choppy as you feel it is now?
When it was bone dry stock, it was quick and responsive, felt like JB even. Not so much anymore though.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
i found at&t stock, debloating it myself with some minor mods to be faster then most of the sense roms i've tried
Hmm i had a bit of lag on viper xl 1.x series then i went cm10 to dirty rom had no speed issues on the aosp side just a bit more battery drain compared to the sense roms but my multitasking is more realistic on the aosp side imo. I would say try cleanrom always loved it for closer to bare bones experience.
Me too
I've experienced the exact same issue, although mine ran fine for the first week or so, and then started taking a ****. Stock stays fast, Viper after the first week or two regardless of kernel and cpu speed starts to lag. I've tried CM10 which speed wise is fine (buggy as all hell for me though, no offence CM dev's.. you need more time/source) and doesn't seem to slow down. So far I've flashed CleanRom and IMO it's night and day compared to Viper. Maybe try that?
