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

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?

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 am on dfgas' Heinz 57 ROM which i love. However, i go to see what's using my battery since it drains pretty quickly, it says my display is using 98% anything i can do to not use so much?

Well the obvious answer would be to not turn your screen on so much. But a couple realistic options are - turn down the brightness (turn off auto-adjust). Personally I leave mine at the lowest setting and the only time I feel like I need it brighter is occasionally outdoors. Also, the app Juice Defender has been amazing for me. Basically what it does is turn off all data whenever the screen is off. You can adjust things to your liking as well. I went from having to charge my phone at some point during the day to having 20 percent or more left when I go to bed.
If you kept the OTB kernel that comes with that rom, you can also mess around with undervolting in Voltage Control. I keep the screen at the lowest brightness setting and have a decent undervolt, and I usually have 20-30% battery remaining at the end of the day if I unplug it before bed the night before.
Using Voltage Control to cap the clockspeed is also a great way to save battery. Unless I'm really doing something where I need the juice, when I'm out and about I basically always cap my CPU at 800MHz, or when my battery's starting to get low at 600MHz . You'd be surprised how well the phone will still run and how long the battery can last when capping the CPU.
Yeah my brightness is always down. And I'm normally 800. What undervolt settings are you running? I haven't really played with voltage control.
Sent from my SCH-I500
I got everything running under -50 mV you may be able to push it further I honestly don't know, I haven't played with it much either.
I had a couple of restarts today which I'm assuming is from my UV. If not, I screwed something else up and it's time to play around with a new ROM.
You can look around in the OTB Reloaded thread and see what others have been running successfully, but each phone handles UVs differently.
I'm going to try that Juice defender and capping it even lower to 800.
Is it safe to turn off our data?
Sent from my SCH-I500
Mobile data? Well...yes but you wont be able to do anything that requires data (the internet).
Are you using a task manager? I really would recommend it. Perhaps you've got a bunch of **** running that you don't realize.
Yeah I am using a task manager. And I'm using juice defender so I was just making sure it was safe for it to shut off my data when my screen is off.

It won't hurt anything just keep in mind you won't get Facebook updates, Twitter updates, etc except for when it cycles on. You can set how often it cycles data and checks for updates in the settings.
I've just never heard anyone having such battery issues. Have you let your phone die a bunch of times or something?
Not really.since I've had the phone its only died on me twice. Its been better with this ROM/kernel.

I woke up this morning at 5am an found that my Thunderbolt was running very hot. 60 degrees Celsius to be exact and the phones charging led was flashing from amber to green very quickly. I pulled the phone off its stock charger and pulled the battery to find that the battery its self was very hot and even producing and odd smell. I let the phone cool for five mins an once cold to the touch, I installed my spare battery and with heavy use, I am back to running temp of 34c and not sure what caused this??? Phone is rooted an running Bamf 1.6.2 overclocked to 1.4 and has been running like this since may 5th with no issues. I have noticed in the past two days, so very rapid battery drain but haven't installed anything new and i have all HTC sense apps not syncing... Any ideas?

Do you use SetCPU to overclock? I would recommend it, as I think it would've prevented your phone from overheating.
I have 3 profiles set up, and then have the overall max set to 1.4ghz and min set to 245mhz using Smartass. I've found it's always a good idea to have a profile set up to limit the overclocking when the temperature is >50C, to prevent damage to the CPU. I have a profile to limit the max OC when the phone is charging, to help prevent it from overheating. I also use a profile to limit the max when the screen is off, since you don't need the extra speed then, and it helps on battery life. My profiles are:
Temp > 50C - Max=768; Min=245
Screen Off - Max=368; Min=245
Charging - Max=1024; Min=245
Just set up all these profiles and even added another. Thanks for the tip! I hope this helps with battery life also.

Are any of the governors better than the others for handling this?
The goverer used really depends on your own personal usage of the phone. Experment and see which works best for you. FWIW I use interactive and am pretty happy with it.
Ill try that one out. I found Ondemand to waste too much battery, and smartass to be passable.
i just had something weird happen myself. i just installed NONS3NS3 rom and then 'adownloader'. had it downloading a file then all of a sudden the phone locked up and was completely unresponsive. i pulled the battery and it was incredibly hot. waited for it to cool down and now everything is normal again. bizarre, because i could use adownloader just fine when i was on CM7.
My phone gets warm to when i charge it but not 60c. The kernel can cause this too.

I would probably not use that battery again. Sounds like it crapped out on you. 2 days of decreasing battery life, than that...

I don't think the battery has any issue. When a Li-on battery fails, it will create a lot of heat, but it will also alter the resistance and voltage characteristics in ways the phone will detect.
If SetCPU resolved the issue, then you've got an issue with your ROM. It shouldn't do that under normal circumstances, and even if you're using SetCPU, something is still trying to use resources abusively. I'd try a different ROM or radio and get SetCPU off of there. It's actually abusive in itself with resources. It's great for testing OC settings, but for long term implementations of settings, a script is the ideal tool for the job as it implements setting directly to the kernel with no further intervention.
discuss. as far as i can tell its related to the battery driver and only occurs while charging on AC. have not experienced it on USB charging off pc/other. baseband update failed to correct the issue. change of cm7 nightlys does not solve the issue. changing kernals "faux made it sod and overheat like hell" trinity is untested. alternate roms are so far untested "most are based off cm7 anyhow so i dont see trial and error for other roms being worthwhile. some claim keep awake while charging solves the issue since the phone will not sleep during charge. believe cm7 has this removed unfortunately.

i had a similar issue as well with the phone would just shut off. making the assumption its related to the 15% shut off bugg since when i turned it on "not a sod" it showed not 100% battery despite it was on the charger. this only happend if it was left on charger for a long time. random reboots in cm7 nightlys was solved a while ago opposed to SOD/random shut offs. that or the baseband update solved it

The baseband has nothing to do with reboots or SOD's.

I have 2 G2x, both afflicted with "get hot near camera with SOD with significant battery drain" issue. Rebooting once a day fixed it for both phones. Our SODs would happen randomly - always with screen off, usually NOT on the charger. I charge on USB, she charges on A/C adapter. My wife doesn't always reboot, so I installed setCpu to limit screen off cpu usage, and also installed watchdog lite. So far watchdog lite has had only one hit - from "Linux Process' using 51% cpu - but no SOD.
The only reason I am on this forum is due to SOD - my wife is on-call, and NEEDS a phone, not a brick. the G2x ROCKS, except when it is a brick - then it SUCKS!
My goal is to either
A) find the SOD problem
B) have the SOD problem GO AWAY.
I am interested in any input or organized testing to fix this problem.
SOD? Sleep of death? Sorry, been away from xda for a bit.
My current issue (with 2 phones, and the replacement unit has this after 3 days.) is sometimes that it refuses to charge until I do a battery pull. Once my first g2x (the second i've owned. 3 total) got so low it wouldn't boot or charge and no battery pull would work for a couple days. Got a new one mailed to me, same problem.
I'm really considering demanding an upgrade, maybe to Sensation. Sorry if off topic, but don't want to go posting duplicate topics.

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
