[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
It is in the zip you downloaded from the cyanogen mod 7. Its called update I believe

Does anyone who has NOT installed the webtop over hdmi mod mind hooking me up with the /system/app/DockService.apk file from before the recent update?

Woah is me. My g2x gets hot. So does my mt4g my g2 and anyone else's phone I use. I started to wonder why.....its the way I'm holding it. Yes, simply that. Oh lets not forget after a nice full wipe and everything is installing over again that taxes the processor causing it to get hotter than normal. Oh it gets hot sitting in my pocket doing nothing when it's really hot outside.

Anyone here ever pay attention to when it gets hot and actually wonder why it does?

ITS ALL WONKY!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Morfic has a good post somewhere about this. If I recall he made mention that the Tegra 2 can bake a cake under certain conditions (I believe primarily when OC). What kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
edit: nvm...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
What I'm saying is its general body heat. Our bodies are average of 98.6 degrees. So holding it.in your hand alone will warm up the device.

Think of holding a glass of milk firmly in your hand for a while and see how long it stays cold compared to letting it sit on the table.

In some cases I think it is the phone but I would say 90% or more its the user not the device being a defect.

ITS ALL WONKY!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Lol, like most things in life, user error :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Yea. I dunno every device I had gets hot under the collar with heavy usage. I think people are nitpicking something. Go to a t-mobile store and abusive every device there and hold it in the same spot the same way and run the same sstuff. .. ill bet in most cases you will have the same results.

ITS ALL WONKY!!!

My phone only gets hot on the charger, but often says please remove power cord cause "yo ****'s too hot"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
This post is completely false. Body heat? Come on.....If this logic were true then why have I picked the phone up off my cocktail table hours after not being used only to feel the phone much hotter than the surface it's sitting on in a air conditioned house? These processors run MUCH hotter than a body temp could ever reach and they were designed to withstand these temperatures. This is what CPU's do when you tax them, they get hot. If you still want to believe this bogus logic then I propose you open a HD game, set it on your cocktail table and only touch the phone with on of your fingers. Play it for about 15 minutes, pick your phone up and tell me if it's hot.

Last time I checked, my laptops CPU/GPU isn't touching anything but still gets hot.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Ok hold your phone by finger tips in the corners and tax the processor and then let it cool down and holdbit firmly from behind and do the same thing and see how much faster it gets hot.

This phone sitting on a table does not get hot at all. In my pocket when its 100 degrees outside does get hot......while doing nothing more than standby.

Its not BS. Yea these processors get hot on their own but I'm making a point that if the back of the phone has body heat covering it, it will get hot or at the least warmer than normal just because of that.

ITS ALL WONKY!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
I live in an area where it is as hot (soon to be much hotter) as body temperature and my phone does not get noticeably hot unless I am really taxing it. But as far as exceeding design limits of CPUs I would have to be significantly overclocking it and taxing it at the same time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
This is your opinion unless you have the data to prove it. I have had phones get hot without touching them so I'm not believing this and quite frankly not a lot of people are. I asked you a question earlier. Why does my laptop and desktop CPU'S get hot when I never come in contact with them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greengoldmello:
In my opinion the thing that makes the phone warm up mostly is the cell radio. Download a 30mb file ( not on wifi) , turn off the screen, and watch how warm it gets. Also watch the large battery hit.

And every smart phone I know will get hot on a demanding game..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
My phone only gets hot near the camera when I bootloop.

It barely gets warm when playing a 3D game like Galaxy on Fire 2 or RPTide (or whatever).

I download CM roms (98mb) over cellular EVERY day and the phone feels cool to the touch.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
you are comparing a computer to a phone.

i understand your point, anything being run hard will get hot.

im just saying tho, my battery temp has reached 100 degrees just being outside and not used. its reached 100 when i hold it in my hand covering the back a lot even doing simple tasks. when i hold it without the back totally covered from my hand, it does not get as hot when taxing it more. when my speck case is on it does not get as hot if im holding it fully in the back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I believe you that your phone got hot just being outside and not used. I have had my phone get hot in a cool environment due to the NFL app. It's since been fixed but that app caused my battery percentage to drop by 20 points in about 20 minutes. My phone was hotter than it ever got due to that app having a leak or something. As soon as I deleted it, everything went back to normal. I believe that the environment plays a role in how hot electronics are going to get and could cause them to heat up quicker than they normally would. However, the CPU was going to get hotter than 98 degrees Fahrenheit anyway. Not holding it or using it in a cool environment might slow the process down but not significant enough for anyone to worry about.

I really don't think holding the phone will cause it to get hotter than if it was just sitting on the table. I can assure you that using your phone in hot weather or holding it for a long time is going to damage your phone and if it does. That's why it's under warranty. Bottom line. I would be really surprised if it ran any more than 2 degrees hotter while holding it. The Tegra II could give two ****s less how hot your hand is. It was going to reach 115 degrees either way you cut it.

Convection- The receiver (processor) can't get hotter than what the source (your hand) is putting out. On top of that, your not even touching the processor or covering ventilation holes.

Oh, and by the way. What exactly did you fix?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
g2X is hot and locks up

At least 3 times in the last 2 weeks I've pulled my g2x out of the belt clip and it was very warm and locked up. Had to remove the battery to get it to restart. My wife had this happen once on hers. T-Mobile has a discussion issue on this (265747) where they will agree to do an exchange for same make/model. I may do this is no one else has a problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
This is a frequent problem that occurs on some G2Xs. The heating up indicates that the phone is stuck in some kind of loop where it is working real hard to accomplish nothing. My phone does not do this although I can create a situation where it does by overclocking and undervolting too much. I suggest you take advantage of the exchange. I think this is a hardware issue, not something likely to be fixed by some future software update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I will add to this. I noticed in some older cm7 releases they Google was syncing for a long time. This made my phone hot.

Two days ago I was working outside for the day and my phone said it was 109 degrees outside. I didn't use the phone at all, it was just in my pocket. It was also 102 outside

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
To support your point, my phone gets hot sitting on my desk at work. I checked the temp log the other day and it was at 49 degrees celcius (120 f). The only contact I had with my phone in hours was the screen. Granted it was charging (usb), but regardless, it got hot enough for me to put a fan on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
That's way hot even charging. Pushing the phone to the limits ovwrclocked and running constant quadrant tests while on AC charge I never saw more than 107 degrees. Only time ibever saw that temp was in 110 outside and in my pocket

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
Both my phones have Google sync ALWAYS enabled - hmmmmm.

BTW, no semiconductor is 100% efficient, and no method of heat transfer is 100% conductive. So yes every chip that has power applied (processor, memory, whatever) will be hotter than ambient. Hotter than your hand, and in some cases, hotter than hell. Every chip spec gives you power dissipated in watts. All that power is lost in heat. So if you held a chip in your hand, your hand temp would be the starting point. Then applying power to that chip would raise the temp above ambient, in this case your hand temp.

The more the chip works, the more gates that toggle, the hotter it gets. Some clown with funny hair and lots of girl friends claimed you can neither create nor destroy energy. I think he was right. When the battery drains, something is dissipating heat (including the battery). If any app (google sync) or driver starts heavy accesses of a chip (also potentially commanding the chip to do something, ie floating point multiply), the chip will get warmer.

Not sure why I got on this tangent. Please resume your regularly scheduled programming.

I think I'll trade our phones in at CostCo while I still have time left.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Rofl! Love it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I've had good luck dissapating excess heat by taking off the back cover and "fondling" the battery and the back of the phone while blowing on it. This will cool it pretty quickly.

Heat is the number one enemy of Lithium ion batteries as well. So it is imperative that this heat be dissapated.

Exdess heat has never been much of an issue for me. Mostly when watching videos is when I've noticed it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rancidm:
actually the glas thermal properties must be taken in consideration..

hand to milk is different than hand heat through glass to the milk..

do the math. i think glass might not be a very good thermal conductor in the first place.. also more of the milk is in direct contact to the glass than the contact of your hand on the glass. thus the milk is cooling the glass faster than your hand is warming it. but it will warm up based on your hand heat and ambient temp .

just my 2 cents, and yes i overclock.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
On this phone, considering how thin it is, the processor and the battery are very close to each other. All processors heat up with usage. That's why in computers you have large heatsinks and fans. These, while they are cell phone chips, are still processors. If your cpu is constantly running at 100% (which can cause battery drain like a lot of people complain about), it generates a lot of heat. Add to that the battery being used more (due to more voltage being pulled out of it), and the battery heating up, and you have an even hotter phone. If you have an app that's misbehaving, and high battery drain, this phone gets ultra hot. Because there are no vents on the phone, (all passive cooling), how you hold it really isn't going to make a difference.

All batteries get very hot when charging. This one is no exception. Not everyone is going to get the exact same temp when they're charging due to different chargers pulling varying amounts of current. If you are plugged into a usb port on a computer, for example, it won't get nearly as hot as the wall, due to usb power output specifications only allowing a certain (and pretty low in comparision) power output per port, as compared to a wall outlet. Car chargers will be even worse, a lot of them don't really cap how much voltage they give out. While this charges the battery faster, it also generates a lot more heat.

A lot of these are very good ideas, but 1 phone is not a big enough sample size to do a true experiment/troubleshooting. Sometimes it's just a coincidence. Correlation is not causation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
So it's interesting you know that cpu(s) are next to the battery - do you know what chip is to the right of the camera lens? That is what gets really hot leading to lock up on both my phones. If I knew what chip that was, I could take a guess at what app or driver may be looping er whatever and causing this problem. I just feel this is a driver or app that is ultimately causing this problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
I got my phone (sitting on the desk, not charging) to hit 47C (116f) by having wifi tethering on and nothing else. This led to a 2-3 hr battery life and the area that heated up was right below the camera. I don't know if this is the wifi card doing it, the cell radio (possibly considering this weird 50% Cell Standby drain) or the CPU activity involved with tethering (shouldn't be much and doesn't look like it based on cpu usage). My vote is the cell radio and frankly it should not be heating up so much, as any other "simple" phone with better reception won't heat whatsoever from the radio.

One other thing, did you guys note that the manual for the phone states that any surface of the phone has to be one inch away from your skin for it to comply with regulations concerning radiation emission? If it is in a pocket, you're getting "potentially unsafe levels"; of course this is all debatable, just mentioning the documentation.

Check this:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4144/...gra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/9

All the main chips seem to be heatsinked to the area below the camera. IF your handset gets hot only to the right of the camera, it may be that there is contact with the back plate and that heatsink in only that location on your unit, or (unlikely) it is resistance from that little tiny connector that the heatsink (also holding the sim and sd card slot) connects to the board with. (maybe a non-fatal but power wasting short between two pins).

Someones gotta have an oscope and be willing to void their warranty, or just unscrew carefully without scuffing the screws, and test this out for us...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jess813:
So how was this fixed? I am having the same issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
This is the number 1 reason I am on these forums, and I have not found "THE" fix. I now manually reboot every day, have rooted and froze bloatware, only use 2G (edge) unless necessary, and use WiFi at work and home. And I haven't had a get hot with Sleep Of Death in a while. And I get decent battery life - meaning my phone is on 15 hours and uses about 1/2 its battery. So right now I'm mostly happy. My wife doesn't always do the daily reboot, and she had a hot with SOD recently, which sucked about 80% of her battery. Actually, her phone wasn't rooted etc at that time. So I bought the chichitec x2 offer so she can carry a charged battery in her purse.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
I have this problem as well. Phone gets hot while not being used for anything and shuts off or I get a SOD. No tethering. No music playing. No anything. Battery temp always stays in the upper 70's even when the phone is hot.

I turned off background data. Things seem to be going ok for now.

I may warranty the phone anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
Tmo finally has a response

I had an interesting conversation with T-Mobile today. One subject was SOD (screen of death) with heat and battery pull. Here was their (_Melissa W) response:

----

_Melissa W: In regards to the overheating, Google made changes to the way G-mail processes their Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). This change may have caused battery issues on some Windows Mobile and Android devices, such as batteries draining rapidly and/or overheating.

_Melissa W: Google has rolled back the changes and applied a patch to ensure it does not happen in the future. They have asked if you see this issue happening that you delete and then re-add your G-Mail account.

----

She meant delete the gmail acct from your phone and then re-add it. This makes a lot of sense to me, as I always figured this to be a s/w problem. There was another thread here where someone brainstormed gmial polling might be the problem. My wife and I both use gmail mail and calendar. I'll be doing this tonight to both phones.

BTW, here are their exact instructions on how to do this

----

_Melissa W: That would be a great first step. From the Home screen, tap Applications and tap Email.

_Melissa W: Press the Menu key and touch the e-mail account you want to change.

_Melissa W: Press the Menu key and then tap More and then Settings.

_Melissa W: Tap remove account and then just tap OK.

_Melissa W: To add it back:

_Melissa W: From any Home screen, tap the Applications icon.

Scroll to and tap Gmail.

Note: If you have already set up another Gmail account, tap the Menu key > Accounts > Add account.

Tap Next.

Tap Create or Sign in.

Enter the required data and tap Sign in.

Tap Next.

Tap Finish setup.

We'll see...
