[Q] my phone is getting super hot arhd 3.1.0

hi!
since installing android revolution HD 3.1.0 after 10 min of playing games (like angry birds) ,
my phone gets super hot , like really hot . it wasnt hot like this before.
after a few mins of super hot phone , the phone close itself.
someone know a way i can tweak some settings and make the phone not get hot so much?
thank you

try 3.1.1 instead, if its still hot
then down clock it back to 1.2

i thought on upgradign to 3.1.1 because then i dont need to wipe
but now all my widgets on the home screens stopped working.
therefore i think i will install 3.6.0
you think it will solve the hot problem?
also how do i clock down ?
thank s

If you go to the thread where you got the rom youll find a zip file which you can install via recovery which puts it back down to 1.2ghz, i think its at the same place in the thread where you download the rom. im gonna try it as my phone gets quite hot too.

thats clocks down should help us with the heat?
i upgraded to 3.6.0
will see whats going on

well my phone keeps getting hot.
before i downclock , is there another option?

i ve got the same problem and i am running mike1968 3.6.0xe and my battery is also getting very hot, sometimes around 41 celcius. i dont play games, dont look movies, dont listen music, just use some apps and mostly facebook. When surfing on the internet on the phone it is getting very hot. Nobody really has an answer for it, at least not at the development section of mike1968 3.6.0 xe. I ordered a new battery the one from de Evo 3d, hopefully it should help.

i have 3 different batteries trust me it wont help you
the prob is in the phone plus the rom , not the battery
i hope someone here can help us

I have a similar issue but not to that extreme...my Sensation is generally between 31C & 34C in use (ARHD v3.6.0xe, ARHD v3.6.1xe).
I am trying the brickedkernel and have tried clocking down to 1.2 (back on 1.5).
I don't remember the phone getting to 30 deg using 3.5.1, but the days are warmer here now.

Definitely keep your phone out of the heat then. I would recommend flashing the latest (3.6.1 as of today). I'm pretty sure there were improvements made to the phone to prevent it from getting too hot, at least it was mentioned in the changelog. Have you tried Faux's kernel at all?

im on 3.6.0 but with faux kernel 0.1.9
i also applied the thermal patch.
still hot,
i know i can upgrade to 3.6.1 i just dont think it will solve the problem

Dunno guys, I had the same issue with every ROM I tried. I finally decided to buy an anker battery and it actually seemed to help. The phone still gets warm, but it definitely runs a little cooler.

If it's general normal use getting the phone hot (web+games), then see good recommendations already posted above.
If you have a runaway app, then use Watchdog and System Tuner to find the app that is causing the problem.
If you have a kernel that supports OC, then get System Tuner and set Under-Freq + Under-volt to give less heat, more battery life. Heat = C* Volt^2 * Freq

[Q] [SOLVED] Random shutdowns / turning off.

Hey guys,
The topic of this thread has change slightly since I started it. Please disregard the first few posts after this one.
The problem is that when I install a new ROM, it works perfectly for an hour or perhaps even the day, and then I start getting random shutdowns. These seem to start out of the blue and I cant work it out.
When installing a new ROM, I always check the MD5 and perform a superwipe before starting to use the ROM. Ill put back a few apps using titanium backup pro.
I don't use any hacked apps or task killers.
I have searched but cant find anything useful.
Currently using Insertcoin Sense 4 RC5. Firmware 3.32.
I have tried three different kernals (Bricked, Sebastian and RCMix), all with the same problem.
Update: tjamaican has kindly sent me a fix he found of the forums, its for a battery fix that worked for me on insertcoin's ICS Sense 4 RC4.1 ROM. However I have just moved to RC5 and the problem is back even with the fix.

I am going to try and set a lower CPU level, already down to 1.2 Ghz with max screen off at ~500Mhz. Seems stable for now, been running 24hrs - no restarts.
This is interesting because I had a GB Rom running at 1.5Ghz with no problems, maybe its something to do with ICS.
Any ideas?
[SOLVED]
Sent the phone off to htc and they have replaced the motherboard. Its all fine and dandy now!
They dont know why it happened or how to avoid it in the future...useful, but if you're still in warranty then send it off, it took exactly a week to get back to me (Monday to Monday). Good luck!

Well no need for factory reset. Superwipe? Yes.
What roms cause this?
What firmware is ur senny on? Ex: 1.17? 3.24?
Phone have physical damage?
Has it been wet?

Thanks for your reply.
No, the phone is basically new, but as I said this has happened before.
Running this ROM on 3.24:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683
But this does happen on other ROMS too, they work perfectly for a while and then slowly begin to develop problems. At this stage I usually install the latest version of the ROM but I'm actually happy with the ROM at the moment and dont want to have to keep changing it!

I've been running Darkforest ROM since early stages and have had no problems so far. Maybe try that one. It's on v 5.1.5 now and it's very fast and very stable, moreso than many other ROMs i've tried.

Could be a defective device possibly? Are u using the kernel that comes with the rom?

I would download 1-click cleaner and clean the cache every week. Also you might want to boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache every two weeks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I dont think there is anything wrong with the device, I'll try wiping the cache's and see if that makes a difference. Thank you very much for all your answers so far.

Could possibly be an app try removing all your apps and install 1 by 1 give it a couple of weeks see if it happens again, I got a problem from juice defender pro (payed for) worked alright for few days then my launcher started force closing all the time took me ages to figure it out but got there by removing all my apps and installing them 1 by 1 long and time staking but worth a try
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Okay well ive tried clearing the cache and davlik cache with no luck, less restarts but they are still there. I am resistant to start removing apps as I use them on a daily basis. Before I try this, does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Max

I have the same problem :/ it happens in both GB and ICS but It never happened to me till about 2 or 3 months ago

This is still happening, but now its starts to happen more quickly, the new Sense 4 insert coin ROM works fine for the first DAY then I get trouble

What other information would you like?
I think it may be a kernel issue, I'm going to try a few...
Tried three different kernals now, all with the same problem which would indicate its not a kernal problem? Something else perhaps? (Tried bricked, sebastian and RCMix)

its not a problem, its with network connection
I've had this problem since ages and couldn't fix it yet. First thing, download LTE switch and change the value from wcdma preferred to gsm auto. see if it avoids the restarts. Another thing you can try is, change the sim card (I havent tried it yet). Or, if possible, change the back cover. But I'm pretty pretty sure its the problem with the network.
Please reply.

Well I have been at the 1.2GHz level for almost 24 hours now without too much trouble. Im not sure if it was lowering the CPU clock for screen on, or raising the CPU clock for screen off. Either way I can notice the device is slightly slower. I dont see why ICS doesnt like overclocking on this phone, GB was fine with it?!

Update:
Just had a random shutdown, could have been anywhere in the last 20 mins. I really don't know what else to try!

Having EXACT ones you are having. Buy another battery if that doesn't work its a hardware problem. I still need to buy my battery but will post and let you know if it worked.

I'm also starting to think its caused by not letting the battery fully die and recharging it a lot but that's just my guess?

I switched back to gingerbread yesterday and so far I've had no problems which would indicate its not a hardware issue...? Usually by now I've had a few shut downs..

So I went as far as unrooting and switching batteries with my bro and the problem continues idk what to do

[Q] Flashing, roms, radio, etc?

I Rooted my Phone some time ago, i have installed some roms, some run good, some freezes my phone up, have remove my battery.
so what I need more info on, is should i do like I read about the Radio?, Kernel?, and then ROM?
What I show,
Kernel Version
2.6.35.14-RCMIX3D-V12-CRD-gec898d5-dirty
Baseband Ver: ( Radio)
12.29.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M
ROM
RunnyDroid v3.0
I have StraightTALK Sims, all DATA, SMS all working,
My Battery dose not last so long, 3 to 4 hrs, mostly not in use.
I seen a lot of post talking about this rom, and that rom works the best. or the battery last for 7+ hours.
My phone is not running a lot of apps, I even uninstalled my Anti-Virus.
I have to keep my phone on the Charger a lot. I even bought a New battery and same thing.
Thanks

Have you tried recalibrating the battery? Also, how much "screen -on" time during your 3-4 hours use?
Sent from a payphone!

Sorry, just noticed you said mostly not in use.
There's a apps you can download from the market- Battery Recalibration and Current Widget...with these 2 tools and a little knowledge of what running app/services are doing, you can track what's going on.
Or, you could just simply have a bad battery or a gooned-up flash (it happens).
Hope this helps.

On the contrary, battery calibration has been proved to be nothing more then just a peace of mind type of procedure and really not a huge benefit. My advice would be to get Current Widget and fully charge your phone. Unplug it and let it sleep for about 6-8 hours with current widget logging the mA drain (the log is an option in the app itself, you just need to enable it). After the 6-8 hours ( I normally do this when I sleep so I know the phone is not in use) check the log and see if there is any weird mA drain. weird would look something like
1ma
3ma
180ma
230ma
1ma
2ma
Normal would be:
1ma
1ma
4ma
5ma
1ma
You get the picture hopefully haha. If you have weird drain then best bet would be to full wipe and reinstall the rom and individually install your apps one at a time and monitoring the mA usage to see what apps cause the drain and what doesn't. You can also try new radios with their matching RILs and see if that helps. There are also apps like Juice Defender and Green Power that have been said to improve battery life up to 2x. Hope that helps.

I have tested apps, done the ( Let the battery die, and then charge wait off to give a more of it charge.

let your phone die and then recharging it fully does nothing for abnormal battery drain. So in that regard the only thing you proved to yourself was that your phone can charge properly. Are you 100% sure you are running the proper radio for the ROM or have the matching RIL for your radio? I still think its an app running in the background that is causing your problem. Are you sure that you full wiped and reinstalled the rom. Then with each app you want, install one. wait for 30 minutes and allow current widget to log the mA activity. Check the log to be sure there are no crazy spikes in mA and proceed to the next app repeating the same process. I know its annoying but that's the only way to be sure that your apps aren't causing the drain.
Also consider turning off sync, which I've heard can be a battery drainer. Turn off wifi as well when need in range since the scanning for wifi causes battery drain as well.

I really don't know, when I first got the phone, I Rooted it and unlocked it.
I Do have straight talk Sim I have been using.
all I did was change the ROM( I Think).
with all the little problems I'm having, I was think I have a lot wrong with it!
So I was going to download a need ROM, I seen talk about Radios, or RIL, and ROMS.
so No I don't know If I have everthing right.
I wasl looking atRCMixHD 4G V3.4 ROM, and if I used it, what Radio and RIL would I need.
having Stright Talk Service, witch runs on ATT, with difference APN settings.
what Would I need?
Thanks. Terrell

Usually, the ROM has all the correct radios, RILs, kernels etc inside the ROM itself and you would only need to change if you had some need for a different radio, like if you got poor service where you live. Kernels are dictated by the ROM.

And where did you get your info? Custom ROMs do not include radios.

And that's why I asked. I need to set down one day and search, read, test,
On a different note.
All I can say is wow. 2,000,000 Roms and I still not know LOL. Thanks for all the info so far.

When you install a custom ROM it will include ROM, a certain RIL, and the kernel that the DEV has used with the ROM all in one package. The DEV will USUALLY let you know what the recommended radio should be to match the included RIL. You could flash it before or after you flash the ROM.
If you are having battery issues I would first start with a new battery. If you have already done that then flash a simple ROM for testing purposes. Stay away from highly tweaked and modified ROMs with a kernel set up for overclocking. I recommend juicy ROM from my sig. Install the 2.52 (R2) version which is still sense 2.5 and gingerbread 2.3.3. The ROM is flawless and you will get the best battery life than from anyother ROM. SEE how your battery lasts with it.
If you have your brightness set high, have many apps running in the background, are in an area where your signal is poor and is constantly lost, are syncing many accounts constantly, and you can't seem to put your phone down, then your battery will not last that long.

aospX rom problem
I installed the asopX rom and when my phone rebooted its stuck at a colorful animation screen. it's been doing it for a few hours... not sure if its still installing or stuck. Anyone ever experience this or know whats going on?

Its bootlooping (not good) ...I would suggest to boot back into recovery and wipe and check your md5 sum & reflash or redownload file if needed.

bootlooping isn't the end of the world. It only becomes an issue if you can't boot into HBOOT. You can boot into HBOOT by turning off the device and then holding the volume up and power button at the same time. You will then boot into HBOOT. From here your device will scan for a "PD98IMG.zip". I'm guessing since you don't know how to get into HBOOT then you've probably haven't flashed a radio so you shouldn't have a stray PD98IMG.zip on your sdcard. After it scans and doesn't find a a PD98IMG.zip you will be given a few options. One of which will be to boot into recovery. Do that. From there you can check the md5 (if you're using EXT4 recovery). If you want you can re-download another ROM and from recovery you can mount your SDcard so you can put the new ROM on your sdcard and flash per usual.

[Q] Battery life - what mA value is normal?

Hello everyone,
I have looked around the forum and it seems like most of you guys with Sensation + 3.12 or 3.24 or 3.30 firmware and ICS Roms have good or great battery lives.
This is not the case for me unforunately with Sensation XE. battery drain is so crazy that if i go to sleep with 100% charged - the battery is dead when i wake up (in a metter of 8-10 hours) while the phone is not used at all, wi-fi and mobile network off.
I have tried
- full-wipe
- reflash
- calibration
- discharging to 0% and recahrging - couple cysles
- waiting 4-5 days until the ROM settles down
- removing microSD
- canging batteried (i have anker and stock htc both in good health)
- i am not overclocking
but still the battery drain is very bad.
I am now using Battery Monitoring widget but i cannot find what app or process is causing the problem.
Here are my questions
1) What is the normal mA value (displayed on battery monitor widget)?
what are your lowest and highest values? for me lowest is about 65mA and highest over 700mA. Is it to much? Those of you guys with nice battery drain - could you please install Battery Monitor Widget and let me know you values?
2) How can I find the app (if its an app) that takes the juice? I tried to see stats in battery monitor widget - but all I can see is some k.workers
I even tried to full-wipe and not to install any apps. Currently i have GoLauncher, GoSMS and Battery Monitor Widget, PlayerPro and Android Pro Widgets.
3 ) here is my battery history. Does it look normal?

Any advise and help will be much appreciated.

It seems high but not outrageous. You gave about 70-100mAh when not in use which is about what I had with factory rom. I assume all the usual things are done like GPS off, brightness low, wifi on etc.
Do you have poor signal, and are you using mobile data a lot? That increases battery usage.
To assess more fully the processes running I use system tuner pro. This allows you to see user, system & kernel processes and sort by memory, CPU time etc.
I currently see around 30-60mAh when idling.

Hello,
thanks for reply.
My Signal is good (full-bars) Mobile Data is off, WIFI, GPS are off as well
and brightness low... but actually the screen is off when i am sleeping...
I understand smartphones use power, especially on mobile-data and WiFi, but I hate that feeling when I wake up and see my phone's battery dead....
never got as low as 30mAh even when completely not in use with everything off.
I will try to use System Tuner Pro - maybe will find out somethinh.

OK post back results perhaps I can help more.
I'm looking at STP now, using task manager I can see my top processes in terms of CPU time are:
STP
android system
Xda premium
Android keyboard
/system/bin/surfaceflinger
Gmail
System UI
do nothing untoward, I would expect those to be running given my usage right now.
Use STP to record a period when you sleep, you can then do this process check to see what's running.

My battery is pretty much the same and I'm on a fresh ics install. This device seems to just suck a lot of battery. The screen especially.
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using Tapatalk

Hmmm my sensation XE used to have at least 1.5 times as much power (when used) and 2 to 3 times as much power when not used befor upgrading to 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30.
I know what you will tell - go back to Gingerbread.
I am actually considering this. but many people say with ICS their battery is better then ever before.
Is it ICS who sucks the power then?
Thanks

From your stats you are losing 1% in 5 minutes in standby, my sensation (with virtuous inquisition ROM) uses less than 1% per hour - that's with a good 4G connection in standby. My 1900mAh battery lasts over 24hrs with up to 6hrs screen on during that time.
To eliminate hardware flash a fresh ROM and firmware, boot a couple of times (don't install any apps) then remove the SD card and put the phone in airplane mode and leave it overnight on standby. If you're losing more than 1% per hour, then your phone may be faulty. If not then you'll need to try things one by one, turn airplane mode off, insert SD, then apps until you find the problem.
Looking at the instant mAh figures won't help you a lot, the battery driver for the sensation is useless and BMW has to estimate the figure.

Thanks for advice.
Could you please let me know the firware you are using?
3.12, 3.24 or 3.30 ?

3.12. I had the 3.24 ready to load when VI 3.5 was released but everything worked fine on 3.12 so I left well alone.

Ok here is what happened
1) i falshed new 3.30 RUU and ROM with fullwipe etc
2) booted the rom put it to settle fo 30 mins
3) rebooted 3 times
4) then charged to 100%, and switched airplane mode ON
with Airplane Mode on - I have lost 25% of battery during 3 hours without touching the phone. That makes 12 hours without using the phone at all.
I am starting wondering if it is not the firware that is causing the problems... Maybe i should go back to 3.12 or even earlier.
Anyone can please point me to some firmware earlier to 3.12?
I do not think it is a faulty phone, because I have 2 phones and both have same problem. and both started having this problem after upgrading to ICS...
let me know you thoughts and please a link to an earlier firmware (earlier than 3.12)

battery drain
i would say you have normal operation .
mine is between 50-100 MA and yet when not using it during night in the morning i am still at 100%......
when keeping it for a whole day not using it i am droping from 100% to 87% for about 24 hours idle use ....
so i would say check your battery when it starts or is it from the day you got your device .....

Thanks for reply, oferyama
Normal operation ??
You lose 23% in 24 hours while
me - I lose 1% every 5 minutes = teh phone is dead after 10 hours of idling.....
Probalby mAh reported vaules is incorrect, and the important thing is how many % you lose per hour

Did you flash a custom kernel at all?
What rom is this problem occurring with?
Sent from my Pyramid-T

I have tried many ICS ROMS - Elegancia ICS, AnroidMe ICS, LeeDroid ICS = same problem. i also tried 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30 firmwares
but I cannot remember if the problem started when i upgraded to 3.12 or 3.24.....
From today I have 3.30 jsut for testing... and if everything fails - planning to go back to Gingerbread to see if it helps...

Hi umka, I had same problem as you. Try this to figure out what's eating your battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I'm using VI 3.5.1 beta and battery drain varies from 30 to 82mA while not touching a phone at all on stock XE battery. While i'm typing this, I have 78% battery, phone is unplugged for 10h and 6 minutes. I'm using SebastianFM kernel 1.11 (this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64017594/HTC Sensation/Overclocked_kernel_v1.11_1512_MHz_by_SebastianFM.zip) on my Sensation XE. Radio is stock for FW 3.30. Adequate RIL of course. Lots of apps installed, many of them are disabled from autostarting. I'm using Shnizlon's theme (just aosp bar).
Desktop: minimalistic text with weather info, updating every 3 hours.
Hope this brief info will help you to figure something out.
Good luck!

Thanks for reply - trying this right now....
Amon87, could you please let me know what was eating batery in your case?? I have just flashed a new ROM and did not isntall any applications at all... Where shoud I look at?
I was suspecting the radio, but i tried different ones... and i tried airplane mode - but even in airplane mode when radio shoud not make any difference the battery drain is terrible..
i will post you on the results

I have tried many ICS ROMS - Elegancia ICS, AnroidMe ICS, LeeDroid ICS = same problem. i also tried 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30 firmwares
but I cannot remember if the problem started when i upgraded to 3.12 or 3.24.....
From today I have 3.30 jsut for testing... and if everything fails - planning to go back to Gingerbread to see if it helps...

So no kernels flashed desperately to rom?
Did you have any results from STP finding the battery killer? Do you restore app/data after each flash e.g. with TiBu?

Sorry to say, but i just don't remember the name of that app. For sure, main problem for me was radio and unmatching RIL.
I recommend you to try different kernel and change governor. I'm using system tuner pro to change this. When screen on: ondemand 192-1.51. Screen off: interactive 192-648MHz. But try powersave.
Another clue. Maybe somehow second core is constantly turned on?
What recovery are you using to flash roms, kernels etc? For me it's newest 4ext recovery test build.

1) In most case I used default kernels provided with the ROM (somtimes flashed custom ones)
2) I am not good yet at looking at STP and BMW stats - so amybe I am missing something, but so far I did not find the battery killer. How do you find the battery killer? a process using more than 10%-20% CPU or smth like that?
3) I used to restore the apps using Titanium Backup, but then, to find out the problem, i just flashed a fresh ROM and did not install any apps at all..
and still losing at least 10% per hour with DATA off, Mobile Network OFF, GPS and WIFI off and Airplan Mode ON.

- Well right now I do not have any apps installed yet, excpet those that come default with 3.30. So its definetely not an application.
- !!! Myabe it is indeed unmatching RIL adn RADIO - coudl you please give me more info on that? How do I find out what is matching. I am in Japan and i bought my phone in HongKong (so it shoould be asia) and default ROM was doing just fine... Could you please point me to correct RIL and Radio - or advice where to look?
- From what i have seen in STP yesturday - second core is off. not sure about now - cause i do not have STP installed after flashing stok 3.30
- I am using ext4 recovery latest.

[Q] HTC Sensation XE shutdown.

Hello XDA users,
I have been Using the HTC Sensation XE for about 7 months now. But im having some issue's with it.
My phone randomly reboots at calls, typing text and taking photo's. Also the phone's gets quite hot. I looked up the problem and found out that the battery is the problem. and with some more reseach i found that its a common issue with the sock battery so i replaced it for the ANKER 1900mAh LI-ION BATTERY. After replacing the stock battery with the ANKER battery that issue has been solved. But my phone still gets quite hot once its in its rebooting loop. The phone reboots it lets my fill in my PIN-Code and after a minute it reboots again. once this has happened a few times i started to notice the phone is getting quite hot behind my Micro SD CARD.
Do you guys have any idea's what the issue could be?

do you have overclocked too much?
also those rebooting loops happened only once or do you have them frequently?
if it happened once then just switch off the device and let it cool for 10 minutes
then switch it on again

I did not overlock it. its underlocked once my screen goes of to save battery life. and when it gets stuck inside the boot loops sometimes i have them a few times a day and other times i dont have them for a week so it seems kinda random to me. and mostly when i leave the phone off for 10 min (battery fully taken out like in the picture) it solves the loop.
Could it be a software issue?

if you want flash the stock rom from recovery(link in my signature)
otherwise flash ARHD ROM which is the closest one to ics stock
if you want to upgrade to jb with sense go for viperS ROM 5.0.0:good:
but it should be better to use some of them in your own and see what suits best for you
about kernel i am satisfied with sebastianFM's kernel:good:

Sorry late responce been quite busy
but i am gona try the ARHD Rom if i have some spare time to mess around with my phone.
and today i have made plenty of phone calls and been using whatsapp the whole day and my phone dident reboot once.
