Overheating - T-Mobile LG G2x

I'm running cm7 with Trinity kernel Oc at 1400 when I plug into the wall sometimes the battery gets hot also when playing VIP poker .all other apps run great. Any suggestions?

That's gonna happen while using the phone non stop, as for charging make a profile for when screen off/ while charging I do that and never have over heating issues... I also reboot the phone after I plug it in.

It seems like an error in the graphic drivers. I could come from a cold boot play a game til my phone gets warm then exit the game. After that the phone never cools down until after reboot. This has less to do about a charging profile and deals more with rouge code

I'm assuming that's the performance kernel, and of course it'll overheat (to about 108-115 for normal highs). You're overclocked and charging the battery will be more hot than usual, you don't need to have it clocked so high for something like that, try it at lower frequencies if you're charging.

Why dont you just drop your clock speeds down to 1200. It should still perform like a champ. Expect heat while charging, I am running the ICS Eagles Blood ROM. It happens to mine too, without O.C.
It still has major bugs but it is far smoother than the stock 2.3 lg release that sucks to date.

Really you don't need to OC that high though, and if you do you should consider doing some undervolting.

If you are over clocking to 1.4gz your phone WILL get much hotter.
This us because your CPU is running faster, and generates more heat.

Obviously, lower the CPU speed. This shouldn't have to be said.

It's not an overcloking issue. I had the same problem at 1.2ghz and my phone was set to drop to 800mhz max when the screen was off. If it was an overclocking it wouldn't happen only when the phone is asleep because most phones are setup to use very little of the cpu when they are inactive.

Or, you had an app/s that kept running in the background, thus keeping the CPU awake. No G2X kernels currently support deep sleep (which would basically shut down almost everything when the screen is off), so that's another possibility. I'm on stock and don't need more than 760mHz per core most of the time.

my g2x running cm7 and the stock kernel will overheat when plugged into the wall. this alone caused many screens of death and constant reboots for me. i tend to just pop off the battery door before plugging it in and no more issues.

Yeah last night my phone froze and I'm running eagleblood's rom with stock kernel. I didn't reboot my phone before I went to sleep so that probably killed it

it really is not but it helps overheating a bit.its not like We OC to 1.8 but 1.4 still unnecessary.
This a dual core even at stock voltage still overheats.I seen single core devices really overheat.Plus Our experiences with overclocking,overheating would be different because each hardware make act different even though it's same phone.Also different locations,humidity temperature that affects phone too.You try to oc to 1.8 in the UK and it won't overheat lol COLD.

No and the phone does not get nearly as hot on wifi. Really odd. Also the phone was overcloaked before but I pushed it back to just 1ghz. My phone burning me for using the browder out is not cool though. Think there is an issue?

Well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the device since you said you put it back to 1 ghz. Really odd if you ask me. Maybe its a battery problem? Sometimes defective batteries cause overheating and can explode.

I'd recommend you flash and reinstall the ROM on your phone. Sounds to me like you've still go some of the old performance updates kicking in making the device hotter!
For me your temperatures are pretty normal. When I am not gamimg my max was 91F!!

Since you claim to have been able to move around the CPU frequency, I assume you are running setCPU. In setCPU you can look at Info tab where under the battery header it also displays the battery tempt. It's normal for the phone to heat while you are charging, on call for long or gaming for long duration but if you are seeing absurdly high reading for the battery tempt, then you better have it checked.
Hmm I had a overheating issue last night, woke up to my phone making a loud noise - I had set setCPU to make a noise when it goes over 40C and it did this today in the early hours of the morning whilst it was charging.
No processes were running other than the normal Live Wallpaper, Keyboard etc.. The phone was quite hot to the touch as well, so I just turned it off.
Weird thing is I have another profile in setCPU to have the max freq at 800Mhz and lowest 100Mhz when the screen is off so don't know how it got so hot?

Warmth, anyone else have this?

So I've had a bit of a heating issue with my g2x as of late. Currently running the Hellfire sandwich (witch by the way is beast). Even before that it for pretty warm. Anyone else have this problem?

hellfire does get pretty warm but use a CPU manager to put a profile for temperature. fyi the AOKP rom doesn't cause the g2x to heat up as much. it could be a kernal problem?
All ics roms have my phone running warm. Sort of to be expected with the way it has to be built

I rock out at 1.2 and 1.4 ghz quite alot and I always have a failsafe at 44.9c (which is what the stock battery is rated for) clocking the CPU to 594 @ 750mv then it will cool down and clock back up when its safe with setcpu profiles.
Note: I run an aftermarket battery which is rated for 50 degrees c so if you have a stock battery you may want to set it below the Max temp rating on your battery cause the hotter it gets more often the quicker it loses charge.
Pin it to Win it.

I would never go back to a stock battery after having this but your issue sounds like the classic set the phone to not sleep during charging problem.
Try going into settings>applications>development>stay awake
Make sure that its checked and you shouldn't have overheating issues

Try putting it to the lowest CPU. If not try a new battery.

Phone wakes up to frozen screen

I have been having this problem on this phone with all the custom roms. I tried different combinations of roms and kernels and still no luck. I'm on EB ics. The phone wakes up fine while the charger is connected but if it sleeps while on battery it wakes up to a stuck/frozen screen. I really dont know what is going on.

When you say stuck/frozen screen do you mean an image appears but is frozen or that the phone is frozen and won't show anything? The new EB rom has had some freezing issues when it's come to being used. Also the phone is know to have screen of death issues caused by overheating

Yeah it shows the lock screen but its frozen only the buttons glow. I dont think this is an overheating issue because it does this within minutes of booting up. I notice that when I have music playing it doesnt freeze when I wake it up.

Try giving it more voltage (not all chips are made the same) or setting the minimum frequency to the next highest. 316 MHz on mine using Faux's kernel, but it depends on what you're using.

Overclock question

I was wondering if anyone had any idea how fast you can actually o/c this phone without damaging the processors

Specific to each phone man nobody can say some can get 1.8 some can't go past 1.5 mind you that's just keeping the phone running past those points most bomb and phone boot loops and stuff

I prefer 1.8 but not all chips are created equal... Mine is a refurbished Skyrocket so im quite pleased. Try it out and go up in increments until you are either blown away by the speeds or your phone says NO! (which usually means a reboot frenzy or boot loops)

Those clock speeds are considered safe so the damage would be from extensive strain from extended time at those speeds which could create high heat man chances are you won't have that issue overclocking is totally safe as long as you don't go crazy
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
The CPU is rated to run 1.2-1.7GHz fine so anything above those will depend on voltage and temperature. Higher voltage/temps are the ones that can cause degradation on a CPU when it gets too high. 1.8GHz should be fine but around that range you may see a higher power draw so if you use it too long it will eat up your battery.
Things that can contribute to higher temps other than higher voltages are use of GPS, keeping the screen on/high brightness, playing games while plugged in, using GPS on a car mount (heat from sun), or just plain browsing for a long time using the modem. Keep in mind that unlike computers and laptops, the phones don't have active cooling (fans) so if you plan to overclock just try to keep the phone in a low temp environment (don't leave phone in car!) :silly:
Just be sure to keep an eye on the temperature. If it starts running north of around 38° C then you should back it off.
That being said, with the badass or SmartassV2 governor I've had plenty of success setting the OC to 1.7

Why is my phone always hot???

My phone is literally hot all of the time. After about a minute of use it will become rather warm in my hand, no matter what ROM, kernel, or if I'm on JB or ICS. Oh and it didn't used to be this way. What's up guys? And suggestions to fix it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Do you have a kernel that let's you OC if so the processor could be above 1.5ghz which would cause this. Try setcpu if you find it running higher

Our phone gets noticeably hotter than most phones because of the processing power. You gotta figure that our phones are running at a higher RPM than most others. Hot/warm is normal when you're actually using your phone. I recommend downloading an app like system tuner to check the actual degrees. I run about 120 F for a CPU temp when doing things on my phone which is normal. I've been told that a cpu temp of 150+ is when you need to worry and unplug and remove the battery etc to let it cool. Battery temps are normaly 109F and I've never seen mine go higher than that.
My first phone always got warm with minimal use. My replacement not so much.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Your phone may be defective, or you have a bad kernel, or maybe even an odd battery.
In any case, I suggest closing all background apps every couple of hours and maybe even undervolting your CPU when your screen is off to keep it cool.
It could be the rom... try clearing ram... or try underclocking the cpu

hey there, i happened to see there is a solution about hot phone issues, check it out http://forum.ksmobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8&highlight=hot
I happen to be that problem and I observe it after a several flashing of Custom Rom and alll I notice is it depends on the Rom you flash and it's kernel or if you are on the stock rom, it supposed to be that your apps including background apps are drinking the juice of your battery. You can try Greenify to limit the background apps
