Why does my charger smell burnt, like electronics melting or burning. I notice this today.
Only from USB port.
No smoke or nothing came out.

When electronics smell like they burn or melt, they usually do. Get a new charger

You have a bad battery. Get a replacement battery fast.

My phone smells like it's burnt as well. Even when I take the battery out, the phone smells like burnt where the gold connectors are. As well as the battery itself smelling. I can smell it through the USB connector on the bottom with the battery cover on.
I purchased a new battery and it still does the same thing... I don't know if it's the phone or the batteries.
The phone works fine and I get great battery life. It's not even hot. So idk if I should be concerned or not.
RELAX man ! your electrical outlet gives the not stable amplitude of voltage....thats why charger is getting hot sometimes., and smells.
Don't worry it's ok

It's not the charger though, it's the actual phone/battery.
After having the phone unplugged for hours, the area around the gold contacts of the phone/battery connectors smells like scorched metal/plastic.
Do u have a custom kernel?
U smell only when u open battery?
Is it happening every time when phone on charge?

Yeah I'm using Faux's LGE Stock Froyo kernel v0.0.4 with ext4 undervolted.
Stock LG Froyo rom
The smell never goes away as long as the phone is on. It has been doing it since I got the phone about 3 weeks ago before I installed the custom kernel.
Like I said, everything works fine, and the phone and battery aren't even hot. I even bought a new battery and it still does it.
Does any one else's Charge seem to get abnormally hot while charging? Like hot to the point where it's uncomfortable to put in my pocket after charging. Wondering if I should try and get the phone replaced before it fries itself or if it's just normal. Thanks!

Mine does it a lot, and its actually getting to the point where it wont charge my battery completely. Charged all last night, battery says 100%, but when I take it off the charger, its on 49%. And it died on 12%. Im taking it to VZW tomorrow to see if they can switch out the battery.

I know. Im actually on a replacement too. Its crazy, it did it with my other phone also. I only got a replacement due to the reception issues.

Verizon should replace the overheating phones. Mine overheated so badly that an error message popped up and said the phone could not charge because it was too hot.....something like that. I brought it to Verizon and they swapped it out no problem.

I wonder how many times they can swap out. Because mine overheats when it charges, and sometimes when itaint charging at all.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
definitely not normal. Mine charges off of a 2amp charger in under an hour from 10 to 100 percent without getting very hot. Make sure you change out the charger too, the phone might not be the only problem. If there is a partial short it could be causing it.
If it's doing it with the factory charger, yes, it's a problem. If you have an aftermarket charger (or battery), it's most likely that. These phones are a bit touchier than they ought to be about where they accept their power from.
Mine seems to get pretty hot as well. Lets hope that we can pull a fascinate and use the warranty to get the sgs2.
indeed
my charge is overheating as well. there are 2 instances when it overheats. while Charging and downloading a huge file from internet or the app that uses internet/data.
I have tried diff battery did not help. I assume everyones phone is like that. Charge has a overheating problems.
IF you are not agree with me try to torrent on the phone for 20min. Just for testing sake and prove me wrong.(I dont torrent but it is a perfect example)

I had the same thing on my original Charge when it shipped to me. Along with the heat issue, my phone was dying way faster than it should considering my setup.
I went to a VZW corp store and they switched me out with a new battery as part of the manufacturer's warranty program.
The new battery didn't overheat anymore and my battery lasted twice as long.
Either way, you have nothing to lose.
big red is shipping me a replacement today...hopefully its a good one!
As always, if you are having heat problems I recommend underclocking/volting to 800mhz. Last time I did that it solved ALL my heat problems completely! It would only get ever so slightly warm when watching Netflix(the most data and system intensive app I know of). Never hot though.
the back of my phone near the camera gets EXTREMELY hot after a couple minutes of use. is anyone else having this issue.
are there any non root apps that can measure internal temperature?
I'm not sure if system panel shows heat but I'd think it would.

Hail Cobra!
only when i watch a video.
guessing the processor chip is there!
Normal. If it actually overheats it will automatically shut off. Though I do agree it gets ungodly hot

Have you considered taking it back? That's not normal.
Same here ==; i notice this with processor intensive tasks. Like hot. Really hot. even though my case but no problems.... yet....
Such as "Wheres my water" I think that game gets my phone really hot because of the physics involved with the water etc
HTc one x overheating
Ive had same overheating issue with Galaxy s2 on ICS 4.03 and with the same games played on HTC ONE X, i've got same overheating near camera n top screen.
I dont think this issue is phone specific
I guess some games and apps are are not optimized for ICS 4.03, coz same games didn't overheat my galaxy s2 on GB 2.3.6.
Its very annoying but hope there is a fix soon.
Had some slight overheating as well. What really got me was that the top was pretty hot when i touched it, but when i touched the bottom it was nice and cool lol

IT will shut off at 60c. Ive never seen mine go over 42c even after an hour of gaming. Install "systempanel" from the market and it will tell you everything about your battery and much more.

My white HOX ranges from 31c to 42c, usually median at 35c but hits 42c quite frequent during multi-tasking usage(facebook, instagram, whatsapp concurrently)
I noticed HOX have some overheating issues, from the day I purchase my phone.

I use TempMonitor from the market.
I find that it's mainly the cpu which gets very hot especially when streaming video such as CatchupTV - about 55 degrees C after half an hour or so.
I have the exact same issue with both of my One XLs

My phone got to 46 c yesterday. I thought it was going to explode in my hands hah. Luckily I was near a freezer so I just tossed it in there for a little. I don't know why my phone heats up so much. I didn't notice it so much with a case but now I use it naked and its just unbelievable how hot this thing can get. My other phones have gotten hot, but I can boil water with this thing.

Holy smokes, that is super hot for a phone. It also sounds like you may have killed the Gpu part of your Tegra2 processor. But I'm no expert at Nvidia processors so there maybe a way to revive it.
I was thinking i cooked something glad i have insurance. Smelled like a pine tree when it got that hot

That's weird the same exact thing happened to me too yesterday. I was using GPS and had my phone plugged into charger while driving in a 95' weather. Then a notification popped saying mu phone was hot or something. So I unplugged it. It was as hot as what you first posted. Should I return this?

Yea Usually most phones when you are charging it especially this one and using heavy apps it overheats quick, You guys should try underclocking. There are several apps for that ,also just asking wasn't the air conditioning working because it shouldn't have gotten that hot.
I go around in 105-110 weather mine really don't get that hot!

I can not put the AC on when the weather is blistering hot or else my car will overheat like my phone.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I posted this somewhere else, but I do have some heating issues myself, even after undervolting and underclocking. I did find a partial fix. I noticed there is enough room between the back casing and the battery so I took tin foil, cut it to size and lapped a few together to create a heat sink I could fit in the back. Since then I've been able to run 1.55Ghz on Faux's v52 voltage. I've tried Sygic and tons of other heavy duty games and it only crashes on rare occasions due to heat now.

What are you're temperatures on the nexus 5 ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The Nexus5 does not heat up as much as the Nexus4 does. This is a MAJOR WIN, in my opinion.
Got that right, my n4 would get so hot sometimes that it would start to "melt"( the case would expel some fluid... Possibly oil or something my silicon case for it when I used the wireless charging.

Usually mid 20s to mid 30s including wireless charging. Doesn't seem to get very warm.

Wireless charging on my nexus 4 would get too hot, uncomfortably hot, Nexus 5 is much better using the same nexus 4 charging orb
Although mine isn't getting very hot it does seem to run warm when not doing a huge amount.
Think I need to put it through its paces to see what happens.

If you look at the temperatures of the nexus 4 and nexus 5 their temperatures are almost the same. It's just that the nexus 5 does a good job of cooling it down
