My Sensation 4G gets really hot on the bottom front and back, assuming thats where the cpu is. Its been doing this since i first got it, and it burns my hand thats how bad it is. Any help would be appreciated.
This is a known issue with sensations I had mine for awhile and it still heats up, even on stock. When this happens don't worry just let your phone rest for a bit.
Thanks, really weird it gets that hot though. And i usually do put it down for a few minutes and it cools back down.
Try to reduce the brightness to about 50% and also install leedroid techniques and turn off the capacitive buttons, you can still use them but the lights won't turn on. This helped me to reduce ny heat a lot.

+1 on the backlight for the capacitive buttons, heats the bottom of the phone fairly quick

after about 5 minutes of using the mytouch 4g, the battery gets hot.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Are all of the phones like this or is this a defect?
The bottom rear of the phone can definitely get warm, but I haven't noticed the battery area getting warm.
had the same problem especially when using slacker....believe it or not I use zeam launcher...dosent get really hot no more ....jus warm sometimes..but not uncomfortable...also go to setting-application-usb debugging make sure it check on..i hope this helps.

It had that problem once when I loaded some ROM, but i just flash a different kernel and it fixed things. Haven't had the problem since.
It appears that both LG and T-mobile are putting a LOT on the hope that this update has indeed fixed all of the problems plagued with the G2X. But to be honest with you, I only notice 2 differences with the update...gps and data speed.
Problems I'm still having:
Random reboots
Lock-ups when switching from USB storage on to off
Sleep of death (try to wake the screen with the power button, and you can see some kind of slight light behind the black screen, but requires a battery pull)
Camera is dark, dark, dark
MP3 Ringtone at max volume when call is coming in is distorted
I will edit this if I think of more, but I have to go handle some business en el bano.
Please reply if you are having these issues, not having these issues, or if you have other issues.

So basically this update has fixed nothing?
I had no problems before update except for some minor black light bleed. After update I had a few sleep of death issues happened 4 time in the few days running the update. Yesterday I flashed the rooted update and have had No problems yet.

It fixed my wifi, it's like night and day now. Battery has very slightly improved. LG camera is gone. Overall though, I'm happy.
I was happy but just had a random shutdown. First one hopefully last. That is with the update

I really HATE the new buttons on the keyboard...as well as the fact that double hitting spacebar no longer equals a period. I know they're petty, but they annoy the f*** out of me.

Should be a setting under the keyboard settings to re-enable the double tap period shortcut.

My problems got worse. GPS won't lock on now, and when it does, it's like 30 miles off.
Getting more freezes and reboots.
Finally decided to try a warranty replacement!
The update fixxed all the reboot problems for me, however my GPS still takes forever to get a fix, and once when checking for a text message i was expecting, i would turn the screen on and off every 15 seconds or so for about 2 minutes, which eventually led to the screen getting stuck. Everything seemed to work (slight vibrate when using the unlock slider, able to feel buttons being touched through the vibration), just the screen was frozen. Weird bug, was fixxed with a battery pull and a restart though.
for those wanting the lg camera app on gingerbread, couldnt you just make a backup of the application with titanium backup and restore? Or is it not compatible on gingerbread?

I have the following issues:
1. Phone turned off while charging overnight
2. During calls, it cuts in and out almost constantly (or every several seconds)
3. Battery life hit the crapper (due to Juicedefender not turning off radio and bloatware present again since I'm not rooted anymore)
I haven't gotten any reboots or lockups, yet
Wifi is pretty solid now
Somewhat better performance, although it lags a bit when woken up

Regarding GPS, just curious if you have wireless networks enabled under Settings > Location and Security

Just got the OTA this morning and I've noticed much faster GPS lock and vastly improved call quality (no more drop outs!). Only been a few hours though so this is just my initial impressions. Would love it if the battery life improves but I'll have to wait and see.
My phone is way faster now and I even got a quadrant score above 3000 but it's locked up and rebooted 3 times today so I have mixed feelings.

My Quadrant speeds are the same as before... Around 2800.
I've had several random reboots today and only had maybe 4 over the last 3 months with Froyo. Trying out some different ROMs, xboarders tweaked, to see if that corrects some of the problem.
Has anyone else noticed their Sensation getting hot even when in the Bootloader?
And I'm not talking about the screen or the battery (those stay cool), but the bottom part of the phone, mainly the front, on the buttons and at the bottom of the screen.
This might be part of a problem I describe here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259247) but I just wanna see what people say

I think it gets hot in bootloader due to the screen being on constantly and it being white using more energy? Plus if its plugged into to the pc aswell ti will get hot.
PS. In regards to your other thread, I had this issue at first but it has calmed down, But when using mobile data the phone gets hot sometimes in the 40s (used to be alot worse) and also playing some games it can heat up. After peaking o HTC rep they said aslong as its under 50C its safe to use.
Its a very common issue and pretty piss taking but hey, its the cpu thats heating up.

Thanks for your response mate.
The issue with the phone heating up was one I did NOT always have - it just suddenly appeared. Before that, it would only get hot while playing 3D games - otherwise, it would always stay nice & cool, or just a little warm, even when using 3G etc.
So, I don't think it's normal. I think it's a problem. Whether HTC wants to admit it is a different question.
I'm charging my device, now whenever the screen turns off Boom phone gets SUPER SUPER HOT, but battery is not.
And SOD while the camera part is very hot.
Any solution? :|
That used to happen with me. Try flashing a different kernel. It fixed it for me

You set it to stay awake?
Uh. The screen is turned off while charging.
This is the first time I got SOD and the phone getting super hot to touch by hand.
Seems like my my CPU is going out of control or something..
..
Idk but I put my phone on top of an ice pack and no more SOD... Funny.
/thread
Yeah man this happens once in a while... The G2x is retarded like that. For me I'd just take the battery out and leave it for a good 10 minutes, fixed it every time. I guess you can change the kernel but either way a simple reboot and taking the battery out fixes it.
Happens randomly.
Ya try a diff Kernel, are you using the stock one that cam with the rom?

Under settings set the screen to stay awake while charging and don't lock the screen, just let it dim.

This works really well. What I do is open up clock and hit the dim button on top right. This will help with SOD and not keep you up by the bright screen.

Anyone have their screen blink/flick on startup, on when you see sense rings for unlock. This doesnt happened all the time but you will notice it once awhile.
Is this hardware issue or software? Its not custome Rom I'm running. I tested out other and it sometime occur. On HTC One X it mention about this also.
Any input would be helpful. I don't like to flash Rom all over too see what caused it.

I had an issue with Apex launcher. Every time I would select a folder on the home screen, the screen would pixilate, tile and flicker, not in that particular order. I uninstalled Apex and now everything is fine.
I read that the type of screen used on the One S has a type of matrix pixel or something that can be seen by a trained eye. Could that be what you are seeing.
hTc One S
I've been testing with this flickering. It noticeable if I restart my phone and look at the screen before the "sense ring" pop up. The screen will flick once. This occur on stock, custome Rom so I might think the hardware is acting up. This issued is known on HTC One X.
I restore back to stock Rom and move between app it also flick. Messed with brightness seen to help, but once I select auto brightness it come right back.
Man I'm not happy

Talked to Htc rep. they might consider the display went bad. Usually, the screen shouldn't blink. Even when I reopen an app..it still flicker and turn black screen.
Next steps called back Tmobile and demand a exchange because I'm not happy with my $600 phones..that blink like strobe lights
Maybe I should never buy the first patch that released on launch day. LOL
Sooo... mine started doing something weird this morning...
Is it anything like yours is doing?

Well it was weird, it was fine last night, even had done a backup on clockwork. took it off the charger this morning and restarted it. looked at it later and half the screen was like that. I restarted the phone again and it only did what you saw, tried restart couple times still came back but later on as I was finally leaving home I was texting someone and it just went away?? tried restarting it again nothing... not coming back?? no idea why. I did see on youtube another person with a one X doing the full screen like that, SCary.
I would return it but I'm rooted 2 months in and had to buy from someone else's upgrade so I'm not even sure what they'll tell me if I take it to the store or talk to HTC
I got replacement from T-Mobile since there 90 days exchange warranty and guess what? My screen still does it. I went ahead called HTC for advice and rep. Told me it just parts of O.S.
For yours side, if you sent to HTC for a repair. They might check if you tamper with phone and will charge extra :what:..
Hopefully it won't do it.

only once in a while, when on lowest brightness, the screen would flash up very bright, after pressing the on button but than goes back to set low brightness.
Don't have an Issue like in your video
I've reverted the phone back to stock, not only does it still do it, but it was doing it while on the restoring mode. I've called T-Mobile, they are sending me a new phone. Unfortunately now I will be getting a refurbished phone. Pretty unnoying.... Hope its not defective too in some ways.

my screen will have a black square in the top left that will occasionally flicker only on the home screen when I swipe through. Does anyone have this specifically? Really hope there is a fix, it is quite an annoyance.

I have the same issue, but in a bigger area. I noticed that it happens when the screen is too cold.
First time it happened was when I was taking some pictures outdoors and it was under 0°C and snowing.
Second time also outdoors, strong cold wind, but above 0°C.
Don't know if this is really the cause, but it always happens under these conditions.

Mine originally started on a random morning, I live in Cali and phone usually on my bed so granted it's not under the blanket I'd imagine it stays fairly warm at nights. tho I had touched the screen with wet hands before and I've always been curious if that would have done it. I did since get a replacement which I haven't babied as much as the original one, it's been few months and seems to handle itself fine now (crossing fingers).
But if it happened once, it will happen again, mine came and went couple times, here is couple vids of the way it got... but eventually instead making a transparent gray, it was a full shade of it blocking that half of screen that wouldn't go away.
