I downloaded the new sultan kernel and everything was running really smoothly. I was playing a game and I noticed my phone getting really warm, I figured that's normal for gaming. Then all of a sudden my phone started making a buzzing noise and got really really hot! I immediately pulled battery booted into recovery and switched kernels back to my regular kernel. Phone cooled down and is running perfectly Thank God! My question is what would cause that? Why the high pitch buzzing noise? Basically what the heck was happening to my phone? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much.

Hi,
You might want to pm the maker of the kernel,and find out what kind of thermald they are using and if it buzzes when hot.
Thank you so much I will ask.

when you find the problem, please post it here! is really rare problem
Well, the problem was tried to replicate, but could not be replicated by me or others.. I'm just praying it's not some precursor to hardware failure! So far everything is running fine and cool. I did however change back to original kernel as a precaution. Still have no clue what happened, or was happening. Strangest noise I've ever heard,!! If anything fails I'll keep you posted. I'm hoping it was a fluke.

I read somewhere here in q&a about smth similiar. That guy said he heard a buzzing noize while playing a game, but with what I can remember no one could give an explaination. I don't think the kernel could make hardware damage, though. Search in this forum you may find that thread. He also mentioned having no problems after that episode, if I recall well. Best wishes

Since the Kernel is responsible for thermal monitoring and controlling the frequency scaling, of course it can damage the hardware. I don't know if there are any thermal safety features like in full-blown X86 CPUs, but even then, you can still damage the chip if it is pushed too hard. Not to mention, surrounding components could also become overheated, either immediately or over time leading to damage.
Yes I thought that. Something happened and I know it was kernel related. The phone never got so hot before, EVER! Then that strange buzzing high pitch noise happened. I'm still wondering if anyone knows what that sound was? Was it an alarm of sorts? Was I in melt down? Is this device equipped with an alarm for emergency? I wish someone could answer my question. I have no idea why the high pitch noise?

I don't think that is an alarm, the cellphone are progamated to turn off if it gets to hot and turn on again when it gets cold again....
And I think that it has thermal protection like a full pc processor, my old milestone have it....

My kernel's thermald settings are as follows: the first thermald speed limiter is triggered when your CPU hits 70 degrees Celscius. At 70 degrees Celscius your CPU's max frequency is limited to 972MHz. The second level of thermald is triggered when your CPU reaches 72 degrees Celscius. At 72 degrees Celscius, your CPU's max frequency is limited to 648MHz. The third and final level of thermald is triggered when you reach 76 degrees Celscius. At 76 degrees Celscius your CPU's max frequency is limited to 384MHz. Somewhere beyond 76 degrees Celscius the phone will just shut off. There is also no kind of thermal alarm designed to alert the user of high temperatures.

No, I'm sure he wasn't using your kernel, because I have seen that post maybe a year ago. So I guess it's not just the kernel that caused it
Very strange. After I switched the kernel back to my usual kernel, I've been playing that very same game over and over with no over heating and no strange noise. I suppose it could be a coincidence ,...it just was very strange.. I'm really glad it's not happening again. Maybe just a fluke thing? I tired to google it but found nothing similar....

Try my kernel again. Today I released r5 which is very different from the release of my kernel you used, r3 (r5 is based off of a different source and it has many other changes as well). Also, you can always lower your CPU's frequency or use a different CPU governor if you're experiencing high temperatures.
Thanks I'll give it a try when I wake up.

Mine normally goes to around 42C and feels really hot hit 47 earlier on today and I was only playing flick soccer though I was on a hot underground..
Just curious to how many others phones get this hot when using it?
mine got 51 during a game of Sentinal 3
Mine gets up to 47 but currently in India n the weather affects my phone a lot if I use WiFi I get around 34 if I use mobile data my phone goes up to 47 tops like a pissin oven lol

it doesnt matter if the phone gets hot
the most chipsets shuts itself down at 70-80 degrees that almost 90% then the max.
my phone was 1 day 60 degrees celcius when i was stress testing the cpu for 3H straight everyting is still fine
I regularly see mid 40s to upper 50s on mine no matter which kernel I use it seems, I've even seen low 60's occasionally. I don't play any games really, just browsing the web and such does it. Seems odd to me and I've wondered about it, but as I said, it seems to do it with any kernel I try.

yes, we all get hot and battery drops faster when this happens.
i think its the cpu governor and clockspeed.
if you put alot of apps on its prossess then it wil work faster, faster = frition. friction=hot. hot= battery drain at a faster rate. dead batt= xda question theads more threads= cramped order. cramped order= more cliick and seeing more ads. all us seeing more ads= more money for xda. xda=thrives off newbies

It's likely to heat up your phone when playing 3D games, using GPS an the like. Depends on what you are doing with the phone. Also, if you use OC it might get hotter than usual. If you think it's heating beyond any limits, try going back to stock for a couple of days, then if it does the same thing, consider hardware issues.
Is the screen getting warm even with minimal use? I had similar issues with cm7 once when I forgot to do my wipes.
Same with mine mate, few minutes on 3g with full brightness and u can start frying eggs on display screen.
I've found out that it's not happening when my brightness is adjusted at about 50%.
Just wondering how many of u, have set up their phones in auto-brightness mode, cuz i don't see to many post on this forum, regarding overheating issue with nexus s ...

I keep mine in auto-brightness, haven't had this problem.
That's strange, I'm running AOSP+ and Eugene's kernel, not overlocked or anything.
I found with some of these ROM using auto brightness just made it dim and go bright crazy. Either way. I found as bad as it sounds a fresh install the best thing. Titanium backup, sms restore, and then wipe everything clean. Solved all the hassles
Mine has gotten warm with heavy use since I got the phone.
If your running voodoo and have your gamma sliders boosted to hell and back, this also will make the phone run *quite* warm.

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
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
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.

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.

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.

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.
