Hi all, im new here dont hurt me :o

Ive been reading a LOT on here, great info on this forum!

I think I have a similar issue to this overheating problem...

My phone is not very old, but it doesnt turn on anymore at all...

It started out doing it every now and then but now not at all.

All I get is the dreaded flashing red led.

Ive had the battery in a friends X10 and its got 100% charge.

The phone smells burnt in the back when you remove the battery.

Have any of you here been quoted on getting the board replaced?

Im weighing up the cost...

Cheers in advance for any help!!!

Great forums!

Dan.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
Hey dan, maybe you should tell us what country you're in? so we can give an accurate info.

fwiw, if it's ATT/Sony sold (your saying 'cheers' suggests the UK though so check with your carrier if it's similar), you have a warranty for a year if you didn't drop it in water or crack the screen. The fee is like $50 for RMA, they send a refurb (but sometimes a new one, I've rma'd mine twice at a service center and got refurbs, and my daughter just RMA'd by mail and got brand new). You can start a RMA online, they send a prepaid box next day or will send a phone with a prepaid box depending on what you need.

I've never seen boards sold on ebay, lots of LCD and Digitizers... and even a camera and SIM slot assembly.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
They won't sell boards.

It makes development & repairs easier.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Baseband can cause the overheating. Try using diffrent basebands to test. Baseband .52 is horrible for me when traveling! Battery gets drained like hell and phones becomes HOT! Very hot!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Exactly.. BB.67 was the most stable for me so i stuck to that.

Some people have it better on 58.

Experiment. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] tjchad:
I've had my X10 overheat a couple of times as well... Mt phone is an unlocked version rooted using Bin4ry's tool. I am on FW version 2.1-update1, baseband 2.1.54, kernel 2.6.29 (SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1) and build # 2.1.A.0.435

1st time was driving home with the phone plugged into the car charger (Sony Ericsson- not generic) and using BT headset on a call. After approximately 15-20 minutes of continuous call time the phone made a screeching noise in my ear and shut off. It would not turn back on until it had cooled down for a few minutes. I have not yet tried just using BT with the phone not plugged in. Today I will make sure I'm fully charged before driving home and try a call to see if it recurs.

2nd time was again driving home with the phone connected to the charger but BT was off and the phone was connected to my car stereo thru the headphone jack. Similar issue- I tried to advance to the next song and the phone started screeching and shut down. Again it would not turn back on until it had cooled down for a few minutes. I noticed that the phone had reached a green LED for charging but when it made the noise the LED was orange again like it was actually losing power while connected to the charger.

Both times I ended up pulling the battery and leaving the phone opened up so it could cool easier.

Switch to 2G as 3G = death.
[XPERIA X10 General] abrarabbu:
Change firmware.

This seems to be a working solution.

My phone used to heat up when on Global-Generic .435 firmware with bb 54

then i shifted to poland-one with bb 67. no problems at all
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yeah that can work.

I so far i have not been so lucky as to find a BB that works for me, so i cannot say.
[XPERIA X10 General] am2222:
Hi thanks for your help

I have cheked and saw that I have all signal bars bus in signal status it says -55dbm 26asu or -66dbm I don't understand my problem is with signal?

I updated my phone with update service so BB and rom updated together is it possible that BB doesn't update correctly?what if I flash BB again?

I found that if I flash a clean rom(flash to 2.1 and its BB and again flash to 2.3 and .71BB) battery problem will solve,is it correct?

(I have calibrate my battery and tested different Roms but have problem with battery life and it will lose about 10% in 1 hours :(( )
[XPERIA X10 General] doppiozero1:
i could add some observation i've done in my normal usage, with a couple of bb and some roms.

For first sorry for my english, be patient.

My usage of x10, excluding calls, (never experienced a overheat or a reboot while calling), are with wisepilot+ mp3 playing and for work i drive a lot (300 350 km a day).

stock firmware 2.1 bb 54

1- with phone fully charged so using battery is not an issue , it works i could it's rare overheating, very rare reboot.

2- attaching the phone to the car charger while using wisepilot, warm, no overheating no reboot

3- phone attached to car charger+wisepilot+mp3 overheat+reboot

4- phone attached to usb at home wifi on, browsing or using market or overheat+ random reboot.

stock firmware 2.3 bb71

1- with phone fully charged is not an issue, it works i could it's rare overheating, rare reboot

2- attaching the phone to the car charger while using wisepilot, warm, no overheating no reboot

3- phone attached to car charger+wisepilot+mp3 overheat+reboot

4- phone attached to usb at home wifi on, browsing or using market or overheat+ random reboot.

Let pass to observation using roms. Mind that i could have dome mistake in installation, or other thing i could have done wrong so, take those as is, as soon as i could find an help to investigate what's wrong with my x10 using those roms i would retry and check in my normal usage, and could write there more useful info about the most resistant and "cold" one.

--Wb bb71 + wb6

overheat and random reboots.

no matter which version i used c g and f by now.

reflashed a lot of time, cleared caches a huge number of time..

I could not report to Wolfbreak as i have not the 10 post needed. i hope someone could send him a voice.

i could'nt use it in my normal usage.

--WB6 f version + doomkernel 5 (F version) for unlocked

Less overheat i would test it, all seems work, but i encounter random reboots, mainly when attached to usb, i could'nt use it in my normal usage.

--FreeXperia Spaarc + doom kernel 5 (F version cwm)

the "colder" by now, phone is almost always cold or little warm no random reboot, but i could not manage to make S.E wisepilot to work so i could not test further.

Could not report to Spaarc as i have not the 10 post needed. i hope someone could send him a voice.

--AOSP + doom kernel 5 2.1.0 as spaarc say is an unstable, cold a couple of reboots, no way to make s.e wisepilot to work could not test further

--FreeXperia Sony UI + doomkernel 5 (F version)

Cold i've got some reboot for other reasons. but i've to find why i've random errors and reboots.

Could not report to Achojan as i have not the 10 post needed. i hope someone could send him a voice.

-- TEAM Stock 1.8 + doomkernel 5 (F version)

my actual rom cold not cold as Spaarc, but no overheat wisepilot working, i would check out if overheat in my normal usage.

hope those could help, someone with similar needs to mine, that is in search of a "cold" x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] deveron3:
I'm on my second replacement, And they finally got it right. No Damn overheating issues, dropped calls bs, no random rebooting, or even egg cooking temps. Just a solid phone that can take anything the xda x10 devs come up with.

XDA FTW!

EDIT: screw Sony Ericsson! Jk

Nice, thanx
[XPERIA X10 General] kensixx:
sorry i'm a noob but, since we're talking about changing from 3g to 2g, how can i do that? i think it is through mobile networks, but which one? the WDCMA or GSM? please answer ^^
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Gsm is the thing you seek... Just be warned it's slow.
[XPERIA X10 General] kensixx:
Thanks dude.

Slow in terms of what? Sending/receiving SMS?

also, there's this thing called GSM/WCDMA preferred. what's that?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
No... More like data... Internet... Mms... E-mail.

GSM/WCDMA gives the device the option to switch between any 2G or 3G mode depending on the best available signal source... It usually prioritizes 3G and / or WCDMA
[XPERIA X10 General] kensixx:
ahh that's okay ^^ i never used mms, e-mail and internet from GPRS/3G. never was, never will lol XD

ohh thanks dude ^^
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Ahh... you are a light user.

I'm quite a heavy user that hates to wait for pages.

Disable Data if you don't use it.

Will save you loads of battery. :)

you are a crazy genius
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Thanks i try to help.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bugly Astard:
You say if you get over 45c you have the chipset of death?

I use to have overheat problems with my x10 early 2011, using basebands like 49 and 52 typically with tripnraver miui got very hot sometimes 55c. The same phone is running strong with oodies miui prime x. I did have it get in the 50c area while driving, charging phone with gps and data running but that was the only once.

Are you saying over 45c it hurts the cpu? or if it gos over that you have a bad chipset to begin with?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
To honest i'm not really sure anymore.

Like i said that i have had the device at much higher temperatures.

I just think that the warning label on the battery should not be ignored.

I personally now think all x10's just overheat like a Mexican donkey in the hot sun when using 3G internet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellygoos:
Hello there,

Here's my situation: I'm still on Froyo JPY stock (unrooted) and have been reading extensively in this forums for quite a long time now.

I have various issues with my current configuration, the most prominent being fast battery drain (my phone has never lasted more than approx. 18hours), slow gps fix, occasional crashes and sometimes slow responses. Apart from that I dig the idea of a different lock-screen, VoodooSound for better audio recording quality while shooting videos at concerts, nice themes etc. etc.

Now I've looked into Virnik0's step-by-step guide and this sounds all very understandable and should give me a rooted 2.3.3 stock with SuperCurio's VoodooKernel (thank you in advance for such a clear guide).

However I'm still hesitating to upgrade for various reasons, and I hope someone can clear up some of these for me and might give me their general opinion.

1. Going from Froyo to Gingerbread, I feel like a full wipe would be necessary (or nicer and cleaner), am I right? How would I go about that before the update? (If I wait until the Kies Update, will this wipe my phone automatically?)

2. With the update, will I get the SamsungApps again with 2.3.3 that came with my phone on Froyo?

3. What's up with the issues in the 2.3.3 version, can they be fixed without too much understanding of mounting and rootexplorer etc.? (You read so much about issues like Swype, GoogleMaps, Battery Drain etc. It's hard to decide whether the new version will meet my needs or make things worse)

Now as an alternative, do you guys think flashing a custom Kernel like Voodoo (Froyo Versions) togehter with a less battery draining modem would already solve some, or all of my issues?

I am just quite confused with all the options and new information everyday and I don't want to mess up anything. This being said, I can easily access both Recovery and Download Mode with the 3-button combos (kind of an intermediate newbie here, i guess ;))

Well all opinions and answers are very much appreciated.

Kind regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Point one gingerbread is BETA .

Point two using the unofficial methods may brick your phone and will certainly void warranty .

Point three using unofficial roms means kies no longer updates .

Point four the Samsung apps you get are in the main the same .

Point four the majority of reported bugs are either bad flash or idiot using the phone .

Your choice to proceed .

Personal route would be to follow Virnik0's step-by-step guide. But stop before Installing Darky rom .

Instead go to Rom Kitchen and build a rom .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817703

Stock with WIPE Kernel Chainfires .and all other apps available .

when thats done install CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS

Followed by if required XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellygoos:
Thanks for your swift reply, it is much appreciated.

Just for my understanding: The procedure you recommend sounds a little "double" to me:

If I follow Virnik0's guide until step 20 (right before Darky ROM), my phone has already been flashed with stock firmware including bootloaders + CFRoot Kernel + VoodooKernel (supercurio).

After that you mean go to ROM Kitchen (the new Beta I suppose?) and stock again this time with WIPE and Chainfire's Kernel. After that again with CFRoot Kernel?

I am confused. What is the purpose of this. Besides that, can you point me to the XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Not if its already flashed you dont need them just pick what you want .

I probably stopped as soon as i had 2.3 installed and then went rom kitchen etc .

Just stop before the post that says install Darky rom and you should be fine .

XWJVB_Gingerbread_v5.2_Android_lock file?

You will have to search i have deleted all my SGS 1 links .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew071:
I think the point he was trying to make was that you can build a rom to suit your needs in the kitchen. If u want sammy apps you can include them, if u don't you don't have to.there are many custom roms out there too. alot off which strip out the crap from samsung. I personally use debusrom but this does not have samsung apps. it does however have the aosp lockscreens. Its all down to what you want. Which is why the kitchen may be a better option for you, right down to the modem you wish to use.

how long should it stay on this for? Its been 15 minutes and I'm getting anxious...

And if it hangs on this, what should i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Normal is about 15 mins from start to finish .

Looks like Odin is not finding the files or the files are in the wrong format or for wrong phone .

You have a choice unplug or not . If you unplug its going to depend upon how far Odin has got with flashing as to phone booting or not .

Thank you for the responses.

yea... as long as the rom has "htc hub" you should be able to sign in/sign up aftet its setup you can logon to htcsense.com and it will show up as whatever phone model the rom is based off of...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kiriuskris:
I purchased the silicone case the day I picked up my phone from Verizon. I also got the screen protector. I've had pretty good luck with my Skinomi Carbon Fiber Skin Protector and clear screen protector for my G-Tablet, I might get both for my Incredible 2. Plus Skinomi has a lifetime warranty and pretty good deals every so often on Amazon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
when i got mine i grabbed the "early bird" bundle they were offering which incl:

1 pack of 3 screen protectors

1 Car charger

1 Case with a kick ass kick stand

ill take pics and upload them in a few.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mrpickem:
Gorilla glass. No screen protector needed :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsteenson:
+1.

(Had the OG Droid for 15 months of pretty heavy use including a few drops and lots of pocket time. Case had several small dings but not one scratch on the glass. Gorilla Glass is amazing -- I just hope it's really on the Dinc2, because there are a lot of conflicting reports. Compared to the Droid it looks and feels like GG, with the same slight shimmer when looked at from an angle under bright light.)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
mind you i got my accessories for $37.00 bucks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
got a full refund yesterday for my gel case that I bought with the inc2 the day it came out (april 28th), they had a two piece incipio case much like hte otterbox commuter case. I wish I waited to get the otterbox, but the guy offered me a discount on the incipio and since they are basically the same I had to take it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
What brand is that case? I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's one of the very few I've been interested in and I'm not seeing it on the VZW website, nor Amazon or elsewhere.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillybizzle:
I also just picked up the same case for $10.00 on clearance baby!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rufus2021:
i'm not so sure it's gorilla glass. i just got a replacement because the screen got a scratch in my first week of use. not sure from what since it wasn't dropped. only thing i could think was that it came from my having it face down on my desk to enable to speaker phone. so, i would get a screen protector to be safe.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
It is Gorilla Glass, Gorilla Glass is not unscratchable, it just makes it a lot more difficult.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Gorrilla Glass is highly scratch resistant. It's a treated tempered glass, meaning it goes through an extra process where a coating is infused on it to seal the flaws, making it more durable and harder.

Anything harder than Gorrilla Glass that has an edge can and will scratch it if applied to it. I've actually taken a knife blade to mine to show it to someone and it didn't scratch.

hey guys, hows your battery doing with heavy usage ?

and whats the idle power draw with screen off? because desire s has 20 mah... thats not exatcly right.. should be 6-7 mah tops imo.
[HTC Incredible S] vancecwtan:
Yup, power draw shows most on the display on mine too. Wonder why, but the battery life is kinda good though.
[HTC Incredible S] xilw3r:
well tbh that wasnt exatcly the question. its kind of obvious the display uses most power :)

but how long does it last on lets say heavy usage ? and the other thing- what is the power draw with the screen OFF ? in mah ;)
[HTC Incredible S] tameracingdriver:
Had a couple of boring days at work, and managed to take at least 80% of the battery life in a 8 hour day with moderate to heavy use.

Not as good as the iphone 4 I had before, but better than the Desire, Galaxy S etc... decent but not mindblowing battery life.
[HTC Incredible S] a.2mjed.a:
Excuse me for my bad English ;)

I think the battery is consumed by heavy programs or let's say programs consume battery like Live Wallpaper.

Live Wallpapers consume a lot of battery that many experts say don't use it if you don't want it.

I didn't buy the phone yet but I will after two weeks.

Gladly reporting that the battery life on the IS is extremely satisfactory considering the display and other capabilities.

Got the phone a couple of days back, the first day i charged fully.

The usual setting up of the phone, bluetooth transfers, internet via 3g & wi-fi, gaming, and of course the regualr calls & sms.

The battery lasted me over 13 hours.. still had 14% when i decided to charge again.

now with the usage a little lesser that the excitement has gone down a tad bit, the battery is really efficient.

close to a day (maybe more) with above average usage.

btw, also noticed the battery usage does not seem to vary much with the usage of any task killers

cool :D +10
[HTC Incredible S] trent083:
My battery life so far has been pretty good, my old iphone used to die mid/late afternoon with the sort of usage I put my IS through yesterday (first charge)

Went to work around 8 am, checking emails and facebook every 30 minutes aswell as texting on and off all day. Watched movies and listened to music through lunch hour, downloaded apps. Continued the same as the morning through the afternoon.

Got home and was on it constantly (ebuddy, doubletwist, facebook, market) from 5 till around midnight when it finally died.

Very happy with it.
[HTC Incredible S] xilw3r:
and lol ! if you did all that on the first charge of the phone ... you do know that the battery life increases significantly after a few weeks of usage ?

As the title suggests, anyone with a dutch Incedible S is now provided OTA with the gingerbread update ;), just so you know. Just go to Settings -> About Phone -> Sofware Updates -> Check now.
