I've had my OG EVO get griddle pan hot several times. It has survived as well as the batteries. Every time I think I solved it, the next time it was something else.

Knock on wood, so far my 3VO hasn't got as hot. Yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
next time you phone gets hot check and see how well your gps works.

there are some funky things going on with this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ira9700:
Playing spider man and game froze the phone got extremely hot had to do a batt pull battery died in like 7 Min's

initial batt life was great like 14 hours and still had 50 percent after a week it got OG evo crappy, factory reset and juice def ultimate and batt is back to great.

Don't know if i should return for exchange.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
No I'm using the stock battery and it was just plug into the wall charger and not doing anything. Don't we have 4.2v batteries? Shouldn't it not be charging anything about that?
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
It was just plugged into the wall charger and i wasn't using the phone. I still don't think it should be charging over 4.2v since that's what we have?
[HTC EVO 3D] xjman:
Is the battery getting hot or the SoC?
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
It did go to 102f but i guess that's normal but sometimes it goes to 105 or 106 while charging.... But I have the evo4g and that never chargers above 4.2v... Just kinda worried... Don't want this phone blowing up in my face. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] VintageSin:
Haven't had this issue. I've been traveling and have changed the phone quite a bit from using the phone as a game system. It does get warm after 30 mins of angry birds. Nothing extreme however.

cout << "3VO" << endl;
[HTC EVO 3D] xjman:
It wont blow up on you. You should be safe at those ranges. when you start hiting 115 and 120 thats when you may want to unplug it and turn it off.
[HTC EVO 3D] azneon:
I had mine charging in the car mount last Sunday while running google nav, and the LED started blinking red and green. I assume this is the overheat indicator, although I can't find it in any documentation.
[HTC EVO 3D] os10:
I had one weird overheating incident right after getting it activated at the Sprint store. 15 minutes later, it had been sitting on my desk and I go to pick it up and its crazy hot. I quickly pulled the back off and removed the battery, the battery was not hot, it was something behind the cameras. CPU I suppose. I waited a few minutes to put the battery back in but then it wouldn't turn on (overheating protection?). Went back to the the Sprint store for an exchange. Waited, waited. In the meantime I put the battery back in and it started up. After waiting 45 minutes with no help in sight I gave up... sigh. Sprint stores around here are always a PITA.

I haven't seen this problem again but seriously what the f? I went ahead and applied the OTA updates in case they included some fix for this.
[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
Yeah, in car charger mine hit 114 with gps going. Took it back, better but not great with the new one 102. EVO 4g ran hot but that was self induced. Oc etc... Stock shouldn't go above 102 ever
[HTC EVO 3D] ppcpirate:
my phone regularly gets to 105F from regular use sometimes; using the internet browser over wifi, playing games (cut the rope got the phone to 107F), charging also heats up the phone. I don't have auto syncing enabled.

is that normal operating temperature?
[HTC EVO 3D] pcp123:
Disable auto synching of apps. no more overheating
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
My question is should a phone be charging over 4.2 when the voltage of the battery is 4.2 max? Wouldn't that greatly reduced the battery life if charged over that voltage? Anyone care to explain? Cos I'm really not sure what the implications are.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
The voltage of the stock battery is 3.8V. I am surprised it would see higher voltages but it may have a variance that is +-(.4) even when charging the voltage shouldn't vary that much, but the amperage should increase instead to charge the battery and run the phone at the same time. I am not sure where you seen the voltage at though so if its an app, how accurate is that app. How often does this happen as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] mchlwvr614:
I have been getting this a lot too. Also couldn't find anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
well i leave my phone plug in throughout the night....it charges all the way to 4348mv(full) and then i guess it stops charging and drops to around 4209mv and charges back up to 4348mv....i checked the battery log and it does this 6 times throughout the night.im using battery mointor widget pro.

p.s just found this article....lokks kinda scary now that its doing this.

Overcharging Lithium-ion

Lithium-ion operates safely within the designated operating voltages; however, the battery becomes unstable if inadvertently charged to a higher than specified voltage. Prolonged charging above 4.30V forms plating of metallic lithium on the anode, while the cathode material becomes an oxidizing agent, loses stability and produces carbon dioxide (CO2). The cell pressure rises, and if charging is allowed to continue the current interrupt device (CID) responsible for cell safety disconnects the current at 1,380kPa (200psi).

Should the pressure rise further, a safety membrane bursts open at 3,450kPa (500psi) and the cell might eventually vent with flame. The thermal runaway moves lower when the battery is fully charged; for Li-cobalt this threshold is between 130–150C°C (266–302°F), nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) is 170–180°C (338–356°F), and manganese is 250°C (482°F). Li-phosphate enjoys similar and better temperature stabilities than manganese.

Lithium-ion is not the only battery that is a safety hazard if overcharged. Lead- and nickel-based batteries are also known to melt down and cause fire if improperly handled. Nickel-based batteries have also been recalled for safety concerns. Properly designed charging equipment is paramount for all battery systems.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuki82:
The nominal voltage of the EVO4G battery was 3.7v, the evo3d battery is 3.8v. I can only assume this is where the 4.3v issue comes into play.

May also be noteworthy this is a new phone so readings may not be entirely accurate.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
I've read somewhere that battery apps were not working correctly on the 3D. So try another app and see if the stats are the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
ive tried 2 other apps and they have given me the same reading so far.....thats why after trying the 3rd app,i decided to post cos this was really getting me worried.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
i thought the voltage of the e3d was 4.2?.....how long should it take to settle in to be accurate?
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Average is 5 Full charges. Letting it stay green for at least 2 hours.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
I've had this phone since the 22nd and started monitoring around the 25th till today... Shouldn't it have settled in? This is my battery log.
[HTC EVO 3D] troubleshot:
Do you let the battery almost die before charging it? I read an article a while back about training your battery.. May be worth a

look
[HTC EVO 3D] Biker1:
The Evo 4G battery is rated at 3.7v-4.2v +- .05%

The Evo 3D I thought was the same, now I read the nominal voltages is 3.8v.

I would think the battery's maximum voltage would still be 4.2v.

These Li-ion cells should Never charge beyond the specs as listed above.

Li-ion cells have an over charge protection circuit that is supposed to prevent a Dangerous over charge condition. I don't know if this circuit is built into the device directly.

Either way, it appears the over charge protection circuit is not working.

This is just my opinion based on my knowledge of Li-ion cells and what I have been reading regarding the issues with the Evo 3D.

Afaik, a Li-ion cell does not need a few charges to fall within spec regarding voltages.

What is interesting is that there appears to be no announcement from either Sprint or HTC regarding this Important issue. Even if it is determined that it is not an issue, an announcement should have been made already, considering an over charge condition of a Li-ion battery can be extremely dangerous, if it is determined that there is a fault in the charging system.

Btw, my EVO 4G charges within spec as when it comes off full charge, the voltage is 4.202v.

If it came off higher, especially at 4.35v, I would stop charging it immediately until I determined if this was normal, and if not, what the cause of this over-charge condition was.

I have many Li-ion batteries rated at 3.7-4.2v, varying between 1500-2900mAh and they Never charge above 4.2v. And I have charged them 100's of times.
[HTC EVO 3D] Biker1:
Li-ion cells do not need to be depleted than charged as they don't have 'Memory.'

This occurred with the older Ni-cad batteries.
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
So if my phone is charging above 4.2v is that bad?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Mine never gets hot been lovin it charged it usb and wall numerous times even used phone while plugged in no heat issues have no idea what people are sayin about it gettin hot.

Hope they are not using after market chargers . I let mine about die then let it sit on charger for 3 hrs till it hits green :D I get a lot of use outta battery 6 to 7 hrs heavy use by heavy I mean always on it net robo wars YouTube :D face book and text :D I turn auto bright ness off.
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
Is that 6 hours with the screen on?
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
mine does not get hot,its in the range of 99-103 while charging which i think is ok.but the voltage always goes to 4350mv everytime i charge....so im not sure if its an issue or not.......
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
I have the same thing (although mine has gotten to 42C=108F, but it's 100F+ here). Have you encountered any battery decrease?
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
actually yea alittle but the battery drains like 5 times faster on 3g than on wifi for me. it kinda sucks though......
[HTC EVO 3D] rjmjr69:
I had the same issue as well as a major slow down after I just did a factory reset my phone is now AMAZINGLY FAST And no more overheat.

Now to return it and get one without the screen being recessed
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
ive done a factory reset twice oready....curious....did you also wipe sd card in the factory reset?cos i didnt........dont know if that could be the cause
[HTC EVO 3D] Biker1:
Li-ion cells that have finished charging normally top off at or below 4.2v. Sprint and HTC have not said anything publicly yet about what their charging specs are supposed to be.

Customers who are experiencing high charging voltages are exchanging their Evo 3Gs at Sprint without a hassle.

Until Sprint has something to say about Customer's concerns, I'd exchange it if the voltage rises over 4.2v +- .05% just to be on the safe side.
[HTC EVO 3D] masbirdies:
I just had an issue Saturday night where I picked up my phone and noticed it was red hot. I had to pull the battery. I was not charging or using the phone as it was in my pocket.

The next day, I went to use the GPS and it would not keep a reading. It was all over the place. I tried an old trick from the E4G of resetting the GPS (##gpsclrx#). Did it twice with no luck. Tried a factory reset and that seemed to work.

Very strange and funky indeed!
[HTC EVO 3D] psabo05:
Ambient temperature is playing a very large role with this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jeremiah239:
I was just on a phone call for 14mins and my battery temp was 104°! I wasn't doing anything on it b4 the call or during the call.

EDIT: and its not just this call its almost every call over 10mins!
[HTC EVO 3D] Biker1:
This appears to be a Very Big Problem for some Users.

Very strange that HTC or Sprint have not come forward yet with a Response. I guess there have been Many Meetings with their Legal Teams as how to Avoid any Liabilities, if one of these devices goes BOOM!!

But seriously, One or Both should have come forward already, even if only to say they are Investigating the Problem.

But if one of these devices does go BOOM! HTC & Sprint will have Huge Problems. I just hope no one gets too Badly Injured.
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
This was my concern... Its a VERY serious issue... Imagine what would happen if one device really blows up? Gonna be too late for regrets...
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
My phone gets hot when I do heavy phone or data usage. But my reception on this phone sucks, so I'm convinced it is trying doubly hard to stay connected to the network.

Hopefully they'll have a patch out for it because nobody at Sprint wants to take the time to troubleshoot.
[HTC EVO 3D] ryudo423:
This is a huge issue. It was in the 90s today and while on 4g, charging, and playing some games, my phone got to 116F. I had to pull the battery. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

No heat issues with mine I have tried everything to get mine hot even plugged in charger takin pics video and robo wars just gets a lil warm mostly due to my hand being on the back side of it . Og EVO did the same thing . No issues for me heat or anything else.

Write HTC about your heat issues report it to them . I wrote them about it waiting on a reply any ways tell them they want a bug list and people who are having issues.

Now that we have an unlocked bootloader and a true CWM, is there a way to go back to 1.26 or 1.57 through CWM? Can i just download the .sbf and install through CWM or do we still have to use RSD?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Flash sbf via RSD lite... if you have external SD card, make sure to backup apps, as this will wipe your phone. CWM has nothing to do with sbf. See my beginners/noob guide in this section for more info.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
Ok. So ever since I've had this device it's been rooted and as such, i've tried a number of roms. The problem is whenever I start with a rom I really enjoy (currently the stock one... go figure) then i do a nandroid back up.. try a new one.. to find some glaring shortcoming i just have to have (a2dp) and try to restore my nandroid. On my G2 this process was absolutely seamless!

What happens is i restore nandroid... but it doesn't restore my apps... all the space is definitely gone.. like they're in teh file system and cards... but they don't show up in teh launcher and my wallpaper is back to stock... just as if i had a stock device.

Any ideas?

Are you initiating the backups thru rom manager or directly from recovery? If you're initiating them from rom manager try booting directly into recovery and then making a backup.

I'm using 3.0.2.7 (the one that rom manager tells me to use). but i always backup while booting directly into CWRM because as we all know... Rom Manager doesn't see the external SD but CWRM does.

I think your problem is that you're using rom manager. Try doing it the real way (nvflash).

Rom manager is great on phones in which it doesn't use fakeflash, but I would stay away from the program on phones in which it utilizes fakeflash.

So I used Root Explorer to rename the poweron.wav to poweron.wav.bak, and now I have no retardulous bootup sound!

Has anybody tried renaming the bootup animation files to or replacing them with null files or something? I wouldn't be surprised if it results in failed bootup.

The above sounds intimidating, but I would be stoked if somebody posted a walkthrough.

I was thinking it might best be left up the ROM developer, but I'm sure many people on a given ROM would want the boot animation. I would like it disabled, or better yet, I would like to see what the phone is doing (kindof like Windows XP Safe Mode Startup)
