Are you using faux's kernel?

What rom/kernel are you using? Also, are you overclocking?

It`s normal. My phone`s battery also heats up, when I charge it. Maybe it`s because of overclocking.
Press Thanks button, if I helped.

Check mark "stay awake while charging" option in settings. Then just power screen off the screen, it won't get hot.

I hear this said every single time and I don't know if it works for some people but it never does for me.
The only solution I've found is to underclock your phone to around 600MHz (whatever your step around there is). This can be easily done with setcpu when you create a charging profile.
My phone used to overheat overnight and I'd wake up to a hot and dead phone. Since doing this I never get a hot phone and almost never wake up to a black screen (meaning my alarms will actually go off).
This is on stock battery.
I have had this problem also what worked for me is turning off wifi. Stock battery

My phone is charging and it's draining...-_-. Using VMax Kernel 1.2 @ 1ghz with CM7 Nightly #34. How is this happened?
Also my phone gets really HOT at the top. I'm just doing normal stuff on it too.
Trying Bionox v1.3 with Trinity Max 1.1 @1ghz and it's still happening.
Do I need a new battery or is this a whole hard ware problem?
Having everything on gps, Bluetooth,wifi, max screen brightness, as well as using it at the same time will give very little charge if not drainage. If the above is true, you're just draining more mA than your charger can keep up with. Which is completely normal.

Only thing that's on from the things you mentioned is the brightness (which is at highest level) , but bluetooth and gps is off.

You're overclocking and complaining about battery drain? Try stock and see if the same thing happens first?
I believe the stock wall charger is rated at 700 mA. If you're consuming more than that with your screen on then you'll see drainage. You can check your drainage with the battery monitor apps on the market. If you have a lot of bright colors as well as max brightness then yeah, you,really probably draining more. Vmax kernels use more power as well.

I was running at stock though. No overclock, I'm not an idiot lol. I tried stock, I reverted back to stock Kernel and Rom and the battery draining stopped, I have to now figure out which kernel and rom are the best for my phone :/ Phone runs REALLY hot though doing normal stuff, is that normal?

Use setcpu to see how hot your phone actually is and post here.

Okay nvm the battery still drained by 1%, it was charging for about 40min, with the screen off and everything with stock kernel and stock rom, I feel like this is either a battery problem or a hardware problem. WTF I'm mad.

lol I frequently run like that while I'm driving somewhere new. Always have my BT in, of course I have GPS on, and the screen might be a little bright. Usually, I leave on WiFi just out of laziness. I always charge my phone while I'm doing this using a $4 charger I got off of Amazon and it always shoots up very quickly. An hour or two long drive will give me almost a full charge.
I've been using it for ten minutes on the charger and for some reason the screen brigntness was low. So I went to the settings and it says "to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced".. and my temperature is 47 degrees now. Anyone elses phone getting hot?

This used to happen with my Samsung Vibrant 4g... i believe you could burn the phone if it continues, it might be a factory issue.
Same here, charging on the wall charger with screen off, it hit 47c and won't go to max brightness.
I've also jist noticed after 50% the charging time decreases significantly. I went from 50% to 90% in 45 min

Mine got hot and I lost all service. It was up to about 93% charge and it just lost all cellular service. I had it rooted but didnt carrier unlock it. Got a replacement phone this morning and Im leaving it alone to see how it does while charging. With the long charge times this could be an issue. Not everyone can let a device set and not mess with it for 3-4 hours, lol I know I cant.

Technically I don't think you are supposed to be using your phone while on the charger... This happens to all phones just some heat up faster than others.... My old ATT Startac did that, SE W900, Captivate, and this one.
It really kills the life of the battery too as well. Nature of the beast....

Had to get a new one but so far so good, 95 degrees F while charging.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Just an update, charged past 50% on the new phone and its picking up speed and charging much faster. Temp is steady at 87F. Seems like I really just had a bad unit because the other phone got up to 116F just charging with the screen off.

Hi everyone, and merry Christmas. I have an odd battery issue that has been driving me nuts! Every night when i turn my G2x off I lose between 15% and 45% if my battery life. I know this is not an issue with my battery because if i turn off my G2x and pull the battery out when i put the battery back in in the morning the won't even be one percent lost.
I have had this issue on multiple rooms and with multiple kernels. I have had this on EaglesBlood, cyanogen, weapon, and miui. I have had the stock cyanogen kernel, trinity kernel and faux123 kernel. The only time i haven't had this problem was back before i rooted my phone.
Any help you all could give would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

Note the battery charge percent, pull battery, put it back in, let sit overnight, turn on, note battery charge. If it discharged more than a percent or two, phone is probably faulty because it is drawing current when totally off.
This actually happens to me when I leave it off at work for a couple hours. Confuses me as well...

I will have to try that and get back to you. I really want to find a solution to this.

Well, i did what you suggested and when i turned the phone on this morning i hadn't lost a single percent. So, I'm still stumped.

Phone must be drawing current while it's off, which I am pretty sure is happening to me as well. Damnit.

It is obvious that shutting off from the menu isn' t doing what it should, completely shutting off the phone. Backup your ROM then install a vanilla ROM without any additional apps, note battery percent then shutdown from menu and leave overnight then, in the morning boot it up and note if the battery drained. If it didn't, the problem is either an app or the kernel or rom you previously had installed.
So i temporarily went back to a stock ROM and it didn't seen to have the problem. Which sucks because i really don't want to go back to stock....

So my girlfriends ns4g charges but the phone won't say it's charging
For example
Battery icon won't say charging.
I use Dx battery app and it stopped showing a charge.
Etc.
now when I go into settings under battery it will say charging .
She's worried somethings about to end with the phone. It was random when this started. No kernel or ROM change.
Any ideas or is the phone just acting weird? I've never seen this before.
Thanks

Reboot it while its plugged into the charger.

Same thing. Also when it's tuned off an plugged in, it doesnt show the charge icon either. It just restarts. :-/ thanks tho!
Need more info. Rom, kernel, any mods, 3rd party battery, etc.

So i woke up this morning to a burning hot phone in a sleep of death. When i say hot i mean it was HOT! I removed the battery and let the device cool down for 20 minutes before booting and its been fine since. I fell asleep while listening to a YouTube documentary on my phone while it was plugged into the charger. I researched the topic and found that it has something to do while the phone falls asleep and the kernal is still active causing the phone to overheat. A solution that i found posted in another thread was to select the option under "development" in "applications" to keep the screen awake while charging. Is this a valid fix to my issue? Any other input is appreciated!

Welcome to the wonderful problems of the G2x. What kernel are you using? Stock CM7 kernel is the only one for me that doesn't have the problem. If you're using faux you need to use setcpu or a similar app to underclock your phone to 400 something MHz while charging.
Go into developer settings and make sure "keep awake while charging" is enabled.

I've had this issue with every kernel except Mazout's 0130. So... I just deal with the backlight lag instead
I'm running mazouts 0320c. I also made profile in my CPU manager App that lowers Max CPU during charging already.

I didn't have any luck with 0205 or 0218 or 0323. Although I didn't even try the non-oc version of the last one, it's my wife's phone so I'm sorta limited on ability to test stuff. But she's pretty set on leaving it with 0130 and not touching it anymore. Still get some sod on phone calls but not the flaming hot stuff anymore.
over heating
I've been using both Mazout's 323 kernels with great success & when my phone sleeps (CPU1 is off) I get much improved battery life & haven't had the overheat problem. (this is with CM-7) BTW
