Thanks for the report captain obvious.

I am glad your setup is fine. For those that are in stock configuration and non oc'ed yet experience these problems, they have probably come to realize that there is no support from tmobile or LG.

If the words "restart " or "shut down " during your tech support convo, you will be told to suck it up and wait for a software update. An update which will probably not come considering how many months has passed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
FYI if it does it on all roms then its a hardware issue and software change wont fix it...

I also had the dreaded sod at least once every couple of days.

However, after I installed eb kang with faux oc/uv profile with set cpu, I have had no problems since.

I guess its ymmv...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
No problems at all here with overheating or SOD. I have over 200 apps installed. And yes, I'm seriously still running stock Froyo. :-)

The only problems I've had are sluggishness and freezing after disconnecting the USB (both computer and wall chargers.) I think it's an automatic sync thing, or possibly something reading my 10GB of music files on the SD.

Got mine the first week out too, but from Amazon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
I don't think anyone is saying this problem effects everyone. It's just with all the bad units out there with this problem, this is probably why it's happening. Right now I'm trying to run some profiles in setcpu to see if it improves my phones sleep. It's only been one day so I will see by the end of the week how this fares
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
Cm7, morfic Trinity kernel, go launcher ex oc'ed to 1.4 ghz. Perfect! No issues!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
Posts like this post is the reason why the devs hate the G2X. Most if not all problems most of the time are with android. If you are not using setcpu to control the cpu by setting up profiles for screen on and off. Then you are missing out on what root gives you access to. My phone might have the same problem yours have with overheating but i will never see if because my phone is UVed and runs at a lower CPU speed when the screen is off. If you want to use my setcpu profile look at my last post.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
The overheating is not a Android problem it's a LG doesn't know how to product test problem. All my other Android devices didn't have this problem. One did have an SOD problem that was fixed but I never had to deal with overheating. This is on LG not Google.

My friends amaze 4g has it friends Samsung fascinate has it galaxy s 4g and my old g1 and mt3g had it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
I think the term overheating is thrown around too loosely here without more of a description. There's the type of overheating that causes our phones to shut off and stay off until the battery is pulled. There is also the type of overheating that occurs when you plug in an HDMI cable, which may or may not cause your device to die.

I'd assume those two types of overheating are the same, as they result in the same thing: dead device that won't turn on without a battery pull. And the phone gets hot as fsck. Hot as in you'd be scared to keep it in your pocket because (1) it'll burn your leg and (2) you are scared the battery will explode.

Those two types are overheating are different from your phone merely heating up upon use. I'm talking about charging the phone while navigating via GPS at full brightness or playing a graphically intense gaming. That magnitude of that heat is normal. And I'm guessing that's what all your devices have experienced.

And as all the devices get thinner, that battery's going to sit closer and closer to your hand, which equals more heat. And as the glass technology gets thinner (gorilla glass 2.0), your face will probably feel the heat to a greater degree as well.

It's true, it's not android, it's LG.

And to all the people thinking that undervolting and underclocking your phone will fix everything, it won't. Android already underclocks the CPU when it's not in use. SetCPU does nothing in this instance. The only instance they'll see a difference is if they have some sort of rogue app that's maintaining a wake lock. You just can't beat terrible design (referring to the MIT guy's findings). Sometimes it'll work, sometimes you just lose.

LG majorly screwed up with this and I hope that their mobile efforts in the future fail for their lack of follow through.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I think I've avoided the charging SOD by accident....

I don't like the official LG charger since it uses a microUSB cable which I'd rather have as a spare on my computer..... so most of my charging is done with an old charger I just had laying around, which turns out to be 0.7a instead of 1.0a which the LG charger is, or on USB which goes through about 3 different hubs so probably has little power left by the time it gets to the phone.

Sure, charging is a bit slower, but that probably prevents some of the overheating.

Lesson: If you're having overheating during charging, dig through all your old chargers and find one with a lower output rating. Use the higher output ones only if you're in a hurry to charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jschultz76:
Just wanted to say that this thread has been really helpful to me. Every time I've flashed a custom kernel, my phone has always, within the first 2 nights of installation, turned off in the middle of the night while on the charger. So I've always been stuck with the stock kernel. But then the suggestion to use SetCPU to lower the speed while the screen is turned off worked for me. So far no SOD and my phone has survived Faux's kernel and charging overnight without a battery pull and without overheating.

Now I can try out custom kernels and find all new ways to destroy my battery by doing things I'm not knowledgable enough to be doing!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h22aboi:
hmm.. I dont doubt you, but I think doing that would not be any different.

BECAUSE, the charger is not constantly charging at 1A rate. If you notice, the phones ramps down the input current after a certain percentage ~90%, and trickles it up to 100. Once at 100, the charging is supposed to be stopped. I've charged mine with my bluetooth 500ma charger, and I didnt see a difference in heat temps; only charging time took longer.

As far as heat, Lion batteries should be able to handle 1C charge (1 x charge capacity) with no problems in heat. That means even at 1.5A charge, it should be OK.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
Regarding overclocking, undervolting and overheating. There is a variation of parameters across every silicon wafer; among the 25 or so wafers in a wafer lot; and from wafer lot to wafer lot. This is referred to as the "spread" and parts at the extremes are called "corner parts". Most parts should be in the middle of things, not all. With newer parts and small silicon process geometries, the margins are typically smaller - hopefully improving as the fab gets experience with the new process.

A hardware developer should get corner parts to check their PCBA layout and FW, to see if they have design margin. In the case of DDR (RAM), the voltage, circuit layout and DDR interface timing (from Tegra, in this case) should be checked across some tolerance and with the corner parts. "Fast" parts can draw more current during operation that nominal parts, possible heating up the voltage regulators nearby.

In a good hardware design, everything should work across part variation and the specified operating temperature for the system. When we start playing with the clocking frequency and voltages, there is the risk of FW crashing and HW flipping out. The symptoms can include system shut down (lost), resets, heating, bad effects on other systems (battery, voltage regulator circuits, etc.).

This is why some of us (like me) have little luck Set CPU and others can change it to extreme. What none of us know is how close to the design limits the G2X is - the system and the components like Tegra, the FW control. If due design diligence was not done, the sensitivity to part variation and our hacking is greater than normal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
I tried setcpu for 2 days and it froze my phone up constantly. There seemed to be a delay while it came out of idle mode. Not good for phone calls at all!

I'll check your last post because I'm interested in saving battery. However, carrying an extra battery in my purse seems to be a lot less hassle. :p

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

You might have something there. I have a million micro usb cords and I never bother using the LG cable. (I only need it when files won't sync occasionally.)

So, my phone never overheats, and I never use the LG cord. Interesting!

Another thing to note is that I use a self powered hub with the computer. I do, however, often use the wall adapter. Both are 1.0A.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
I don't think anything needed to be proven. It's long been known that some G2x's have issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
The only time I have overheating and or the SOD is when I use the stock battery. 90% of the time, I'm using an extended battery and never have problems. Within a day of using the stock battery - SOD.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
Another good point! I use a replacement battery I got from e-bay. Almost never change it out. I should test the stock battery.

It's good to know what I'm "doing right."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
Im getting some replacement batteries right now. Hopefully I won't have to worry about sod's after that. It seems like a battery issue since it really seems like the battery gets hot not the phone. I will report back when I get the package. Hopefully tomorrow but most likely next week
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
OK day one with new batteries. I can't say if the charge last longer cause a. It's not what we are talking about and b. The weekend isn't routine for me. What I can say though is that I had my phone on the charger for 10 hours straight with no overheating. Actually my battery temp seems to be running about 4c cooler then the stock battery. So that's day 1. I will try to make an update in a couple days with a full report on the battery.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Thor:
Fake, No way its 3030mah.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bud.de:
That is why I am asking. But have you tried and/or had any experience with a similar battery of this brand/seller?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] zkyevolved:
Ok. Just to be clear. I have found a lot of these threads in the past and I always say the same thing. If Samsung could have pushed in another 500 mah into the battery they would have done it themselves. It's silly for them to include a smaller battery capacity into larger than normal battery size. It's silly.

I would stay away from cheap batteries claiming much higher mah capacities in batteries.

Stick with seidio and mugen. They're really good battery makers. They may be more expensive but I think it'll make up for it with time. Most Chinese batteries begin to loose charge after a few discharges.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bud.de:
@zkyevolved

I understand what you are saying and agree with you partly.

I am following the xda-dev since the early day of windows mobile 6.

In the past there have been batterys (for example for the htc tytn II)

with the same dimensions and a higher capacity.

Even though I am sceptical, too (especially because of the price).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Thor:
Generally nowadays companies like Samsung with there top end smartphones will go for the highest possible capacity.

While it's fully possible to get an increased capacity battery with the same dimensions, They will not last that way for long and will loose alot of there capacity with every charge.

Simply put, Unless it's bigger, It's not nearly as stable and reliable as an OEM battery because if it was possible that way, It would have been included in the device.

The battery in the galaxy note is simply amazing already, Obviously we geeks want longer last juice, But for now, Adding a bigger cover or getting a second battery is the only piratical way.

Power consumption is probably the most researched aspect of today's smartphones, It shouldn't be two many years before we see week long batteries in are devices that charge quicker and quicker.

At least we hope.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xeq544:
Exactly, thats why its ridiculous to think that some small chinese company would have the manufacturing process as advanced (or more) as samsung. I am sure that no 3rd party battery would reach the capacity of samsung battery of the same size. It really is simple logic. Its all scam. Most of these batteries will barely reach 2000 mah.

And the biggest scam is mugen with super expensive batteries which have 75 percent or less of the advertised capacity.

If you want a new battery, buy samsung battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] adidie:
I've also have bad experience with the cheap Chinese batteries - the most annoying thing is the non linear power drop (e.g it goes from 45% to 20% in a second)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
Hi all

I am really a newbie to this Android world, I recently bought a Google Nexus S (I9020T), and I have been looking for some ways to maximise its ability, and I came across something called Voodoo Kernel.

What is it exactly? What is the benefit of using it on my phone please?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
It's an optional feature of a kernel which provides a much better driver and config for the sound equipment in the nexuses.

Voodoo colours allows you to change the white balance of amoled displays (all nexus s besides i9023).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
Thank you very much for your quick reply.

So voodoo kernel is basically a kernel contain Voodoo colours? That's all?

(btw, how is kernel different to a ROM?)

So in order to get this feature, do I have flash a completely new ROM please? or I can just download it and install on my phone?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (THE REAL) Neo:
A ROM is the Operating System.

A kernel is the interface between the ROM and the hardware of the phone.

You can install a ROM with its own kernel,and after this,flash a new kernel,leaving the rom intact.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
No, it's not just colours. As Harbb said, it contains a better audio driver too...you will feel the difference if you often listen to music on your nexus. :)

Don't think that you will need another ROM. Just flash a kernel that supports Voodoo and get the Voodoo Control App from the market. Given this app, you can change different voodoo settings.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
I think I may get it now.

ROM is the operating system, like windows 7

Kernel is similar to the drivers in windows.

so all I need is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876132 ??

and installing/flashing a kernel will not wipe out my data, is it correct please?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
Almost ;). Kernel is like the engine of your ROM. Flashing a new kernel will not wipe your data. Just boot into recovery then wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache. After that, choose zip file of the kernel, install and reboot.

The link you posted is not the only kernel which supports voodoo. A lot of kernels have this feature like Matrix, ICUP, Glados,....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
A ROM is the full OS with both kernel and apps, like a installed copy of Windows 7. The kernel is the part of the OS that manages many things from talking to the hardware, managing tasks/apps executing concurrently, managing memory, etc. I don't know if the kernel in Windows 7 can be easily replaced, but it's very simple for Linux based OS such as Android.

If you want Voodoo, there are two ways to get it. You can root your phone, then download Voodoo Control Plus (I think it's still on special price right now), it will load the Voodoo Sound driver for you. You don't need to flash a custom kernel. But this will only give you Voodoo Sound, not Voodoo Colour. For Voodoo Colour, you must flash a kernel with Voodoo built-in. Depending the ROM you are using, you must pick a kernel suitable for your ROM. Ie. ICS ROM must use a kernel built for ICS, the same goes for GB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
Thank you for your reply.

I have looked around in this forum, there are a lot of kernels I can see.

As I know very little, can you recommend me one that is good for Android 2.3.6 in terms of the performance and battery life?

(I know it may sound a bit too much, but I just want to have a guide.)

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
Seems, as if Si_NZ is far more expert than me. I didn't know that Voodoo Sound works without a proper kernel :eek:.

Regarding a good kernel for GB, I like the Matrix kernel. It's a good combination of performance, battery life and stability. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100448&highlight=matrix, try the cfs version) But take into account that this is just a personal opinion and that there are a lot of good kernels out there. Have to go to sleep now... :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
Thanks for sharing your opinion to me!!

This one looks like is for GB, can you confirm me please?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100448

does it matter whether my Android is 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 please?

By the way, why would you choose Matrix please? GLaDOS seems quite good as well (lots of features), also Netarchy seems good as well.

(Just wanna gather information and learn from other experts!!)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
Yeah, that's the right one. And no, I don't think that it makes a difference if you have 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.

Of course, Glados and Netarchy are decent kernels too. I chose matrix because it gave me a really good battery life (lost only 3 percent during a whole night) and it's overclockable to 1,46Ghz and I think it has all the mods from glados builtin too. but just try the others too...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
Thank you so much, I will find a time to flash a kernel today, may report back my experience.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
Good luck ;). Don't forget to make a backup in recovery before you flash a kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyvictor:
Thank you, To backup, do you mean using something like ROM manager please?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stimulus_pi:
I'm not sure if it works with ROM Manager, cause I've never used this. I've always used Clockwork RecoveryMod to flash ROMs and kernels.

Are you rooted and have ClockworkRecovery installed? If not, go to the Nexus S General Forum and there you will find Step-to-Step Guides how to do this.

If you are already rooted, boot into recovery and you'll find a backup option in the menu. When it's finished, just follow the steps I described a few posts earlier (wipe cache, wipe dalvik_cache, install kernel).

Greetings earthlings. I was thinking about making the switch from the gnex to the rznd. I was wondering if there were any stock roms out there (no sense). Also how does flashing a rom work with s on? And finally anything else I should consider before making the switch?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
You should consider that the Nexus sucks and the Rezound is amazing.

Just kidding, but the Rezound really is better. I've only had HTC phones, so I don't know how the Nexus flashes ROMs, but we can do it right in recovery. The only (small) hassle is that we have to flash kernels through the bootloader, but our devs have come a long way in simplifying that process. There are a few ROMs that are stripped of Sense as well.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Also, as best I understand it, you will not be able to flash alternate radios or splash screens.

As the responder above me indicated, there are no straight AOSP ROMs at this time. Check through the Android Development section and see if any of the "Senseless" ROMs fit your needs.
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
Having owned both the Nexus and the Rezound, I dumped the Nexus and went back to the Rezound. You won't regret it.

The Rezound was only unlocked last week so roms are a little limited at the moment. However, we have some great devs working on it.
[HTC Rezound] jeph0r3:
I made the switch from a SGN.... I must say, your going to miss some things that the Nexus had (ICS), but your really going to love things the Rezound brings to the table. There are a handful of roms out now. I think the Senseless rom you'll have to install a 3rd party Launcher. I've come to really enjoy Sense... I;ve read about people wanting to get Sense off thousands of times... My only question is... Why? It actually functions quite awesome...

I'm quite happy with the Rezound, the Dev Support is great, and I'm almost positive there will be quite a few more by the 15th when everyone returns their Nexus because the Reception and speaker both are terrible!!

Good luck..

i too am thinking of switching from Gnexus to Rezound.

I think in a couple months the truth is going to come out that the Gnexus is actually quite a very subpar phone.

PenTile matrix display, abysmal battery life, and the extremely poor camera quality are enough to have me switch to the rezound.

here is my main concern though, what kind of battery life do you guys get? with my gnexus LTE enabled all day, i could only get about 2 hours of on-screen time. what about the rezound?

thanks in advanced.
