[AT&T LG Optimus G] ripbabey:
So the past couple of nights I have been using sleep as android to track my sleep patterns. Worked well every night until last. I waited for the screen to turn off than put half the phone under my pillow to keep it from falling off the bed. This morning I went to go turn off the App and my phone was burning hot. It was showing a black screen. I could not even hold the phone in my hand it was so hot. I have auto screen off enabled for 1 minute.

I waited about 20 mins and the phone finally booted up., it would just display the LG logo real quick and sit at black screen Untill it cooled off.

My questions are is this because it was under my pillow charging? I know this phone has a temp sensor, but can't find a temp sensor that work's. I know this because if I have the screen at full brightness after a while playing a game the screen will dim, ill go into settings and try to bump it up and it says temp to high please try again later. So I know this phone has some sort of safe guards. How come my phone was burning hot, shouldn't it have turned itself off. Also can this happen even not being under my pillow? Im nervous about leaving my phone chargeing when I sleep for fear its going to burst into flames lol.

Just curious if anyone has ever had this phone get so hot you could not hold it? Phone seems to be working fine, is there away to make sure this phone never gets that hot again?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 309041291a:
Best guess is, yes. Don't put your phone under your pillow. The beat has nowhere to go basically it just keeps around the phone.

The N4 has been known to shut itself off for a few minutes after overheating/extremely dead battery.

I was curious about this issue myself and I've done research about this to avail.I just got the phone yesterday and It burns up even with power saver and eco mode turned on or off.I can imagine what will happen with a case on the phone will it over heat.we need a solution

No electric blanket lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ramnex:
Check your battery, it may be three cause for this problem. The battery is what heats up the phone the most, if it is leaking, or damaged in any way then it can cause this

Also try cleaning any vents on your phone, they may be clogged, not allowing dissipation of heat

Alternatively, check which kernel and cpu governor you are using, if it is terribly inefficient it can be causing the cpu to stay at high frequencies, which can cause it to increase its TDP footprint

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ripbabey:
How would I check my battery on the og since it's internal. Vents were probably blocked since it was under a pillow. Phone is brand new running nocturnal and sk8ters kernel with set cpu governor on on-demand.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 309041291a:
I have to be honest with you guys. The only time my phone gets hot is when I play intense games or download a 200+ MB file. Other than that it's always cool, and I'm using a case.

Don't leave your phone under a pillow, turn it off when you can, try and use darker colors/lower the screen brightness as much as possible, and give it a break every so often...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ripbabey:
This was the first time it ever got hot. I found a battery temp meter, mine phone gets warm a lot, right now my brightness is at one, set cpu gov is Powersave I have been browsing the net and fb for a half hour, my phone is warm on the upper back half, battery temp is 89.1 f so I dunno like I said it freaked me out, first time it ever got hot in the week I owned it. But it does get warm which is prob normal with all its power and no fans.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ramnex:
You could check the battery by sending it to lg, or check for any sort of liquid seeping from the phone. As for the governor, try setting it to a more conservative setting, on demand can result in it pulling max resources all the time and this can cause the heating. Apart from that, don't keep it under a pillow, in a leather case, or in tight jeans. Keeping it in the sun in a car can also be problematic

Mine got super hot when I first got it. It would do it randomly on occasion, but normally in recovery, however over time (and after flashing updated recoveries) I've been noticing less and less of a problem. Using sk8's kernel also seemed to help.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I had this with my old phone too, because it went under my pillow.

That is terrible for a phone.

Put it on a bedside table if you have one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
if you had an app running, that's probably your problem.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jakeroxs:
Mine got super hot the other day playing ingress for hours straight xD

It did kinda scare me at first though I'd never felt the phone get that hot before. (hot enough to feel it through the case I have)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
My phone gets really hot when I'm in recovery mode, making a backup. I connected my Optimus G to my TV via HDMI and played some Super Hexagon (and before that watching TV show on Netflix). Phone got really hot, then shut off :\
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 309041291a:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] themikeuno:
Have had same problem w- sleep as android app also

At first I thought it was from being under the pillow as well. So I made sure not to put it there the next night, but had it on the bed. It still got pretty hot, just not as hot.

Next, I let the app run all night next to me on the nightstand and it still got pretty warm, but then you don't reliable stats. I then made sure the app was off for a couple of nights and the phone was at a normal temp in the mornings.

There is definitely something different with my phone when running this particular app.

Hi all-

I've been lazy about this one, just plugging in and leaving it in my cupholder. But now that's I've found an in-car UI I actually like (InDrive ) it's time to find a mount that actually fits. My old one is just too small for the massive Optimus G.'s width and weight. Any suggestions that brace solidly, allow the microUSB plug to connect and rotate to landscape with a jelly case on the phone?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I have a few of this companies products, fairly well made. They even have one that locks into cupholder.

I really like the concept of the direct 12V lighter mounts, but unfortunately for my car this is a non-starter, mine is buried on the centre console, recessed under the dashboard. Even the Amzer mounts like this are not long enough and don't have enough articulation.

I have a t-mobile galaxy note 2 which i want unlocked.

I went to cellunlocker.net and bought a unlock code for 25$ within the hour I was sent an e-mail with the codes etc.

It isn't working, I tried all their methods, troubleshooting, etc..nothing.

Every time i punch something in it say "unable to process request"

I e-mailed them back but no word yet, anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonlady726:
So I'm stumped... I've flashed my Charge many times, no problems until now.

I wanted to flash back to stock ROM and had my Samsung drivers installed and Odin recognizing the phone and everything was good, but then Odin was taking WAAAAAAY too long. In the past this usually took about 20 mins. This time, after 45 mins and the progress bar hanging in the same place for 30+ mins on factory.rfs I disconnected the phone (I know this is where I screwed up). Now Odin won't recognize the phone at all. It does get into download mode, but Odin won't pick it up.

Same computer, same cable, and same USB ports as I've had when flashing this phone many times before. I don't know what my options are now. I don't think I can flash either the ROM or PIT without Odin at least recognizing the phone. What can I do now?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonlady726:
So I've done some more tinkering - trying different cords, multiple computers, uninstall/reinstall different drivers... What I've noticed on more than one computer is that Odin doesn't recognize the phone when it's in download mode ONLY.

If I power on the phone Odin is able to detect it and windows detects it as a Samsung USB device (even though the phone hangs on the Samsung logo). When I put it into download mode both the computer and Odin don't recognize it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
FWIW, I've also noticed a simple computer reboot fixes it....
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonlady726:
I neglected to mention in my OP that I was going through the right protocol with driver uninstall/reinstall and rebooting each time. I rebooted again for good measure after seeing your post but I still get the same.

It's the same result from two different computers, one with Win7 and the other XP (I read in another thread that XP had worked better for some). If the phone is powered on, even though it doesn't successfully boot, Odin and Windows recognize it properly. If it's in download mode neither one recognize it, windows says the device failed to start and shows either unrecognized device or "Gadget Serial" (which would be a great name for a band, but google searches for it aren't much help).

I don't think it's a driver problem because it's recognized when the phone is powered on. But could there be a specific driver out there for the phone when in download mode only? I've flashed this phone dozens of times and never had a problem until now. I'm on the verge of forking over the $50 and sending it to JTAG if no one can suggest something else to try. Please help :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] lukegman:
did you make sure your phone is in debugging mode?... i forget who flashed what... or where I read something about flashing and it turned off their debugging mode...so check that first...and try reinstalling Odin on your computer... i don't think jtag is necessary on a Droid charge... if your phone is being recognized then it seems your missing a step...like maybe pulling your battery before hooking up the usb... or reinstalling the battery after going in download mode... and last of all check and make sure your not accidentally making mistakes when setting up your Odin before flashing... and last efforts to get a working phone would be going into cwm... volume up... home... and power button... hold while powering up and releasing on the second Samsung logo...and install your last back up...or reflash your rom with cache and dalvik wipes
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
curious, when you are/were performing the Odin process, were you still using the computer (web-surfing, e-mail, etc.)? in my experience, whenever I tried to multi-task on my computer while running Odin on my phone, Odin freezes. this has happened on more than one occasion. also, my toddler daughter even pressed the power button while Odin was running - so on three separate occasions, I've had a reflash interrupted. however, I've clearly been able to recover.

the key was using the right cord in the right port. I had one cord working fine for awhile, but then when I switched cords, it worked again.

also, some folks have had better success when removing the battery during the process.

finally, what are your steps exactly when flashing - and which guide are you using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonlady726:
I can't actually get the phone to boot (doesn't get past Samsung logo) so I don't know how I can tell if it's in debugging mode or how to change it if it's not.

Going in to download mode I've tried both battery in and out, using multiple USB ports and cables and can't get any version of Odin to detect it. I've tried v1.82 and 1.85 of Odin. I get the same result for both - Odin does not detect the phone when in download mode, but will detect it if it's powered on or just connected to the computer with battery in to "charge." But afaik I can't flash it when it's NOT in download mode :(

It won't boot into into recovery either... It never gets past Samsung logo no matter how long I hold the buttons... I've used recovery before, so I'm sure I'm giving the android 3-finger salute correctly.

I'm thinking maybe I got unlucky because the whole key to flashing is having Odin recognize the phone in download mode and that's the only time that Odin won't recognize it.

I wasn't actively multitasking during the bad flash, although I may have had email running in the background. Since then I've been rebooting and only had Odin running in the foreground when trying. I did use multiple usb ports/cables and try going into download with battery in/out.

As far as guides go, I had been using trparky's awesome guide for years until he took it down and lately went to the one in the dev forum here on xda: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160580

Like I said, I'm thinking maybe I got unlucky because Odin recognizes the phone when plugged into the computer EXCEPT when it's in download mode and without that I don't know what else to do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
Also, are you sure you have enough battery juice? To make sure, leave it plugged in to a wall outlet for about 30 min to an hour.

tappin' that....
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonlady726:
Finally fixed - Bad USB port

Just to close out the thread, I did finally get my phone fixed. The issue was a bad USB port that decided to fail during flash. This is according to Josh from MobileTechVideos, who is a great guy with amazing customer service.

Longer version: I sent it off to MobileTechVideos/JTAG and after a week I got a call back saying the JTAG process didn't work and as a last resort they could try replacing the USB port itself. Josh told me that it was either the port or the controller, that the port was a known failure point on the Charge, and if replacing the port didn't work it meant the USB controller had failed and I'd be out of luck. He also said that if the port replacement didn't fix the issue he wouldn't charge me and refund my original payment (which impressed the hell out of me given the time he had already put into it and there was no guarantee that the extra work would fix it). This was late afternoon on Valentine's Day... he said that he'd get to swapping out the port the next day but an hour later called back to tell me that he replaced the port and flash was successful. I wish everyone was as straightforward in communication and dedicated to their job.

So yeah, MobileTechVideos is legit, Josh is a rock star, and send those guys your phone if something really screwy happens. They will take the time and go above and beyond if necessary to fix it, and you will absolutely get your money's worth.

Hoping that no one else is "lucky" enough to have their USB port fail mid-flash, but if your symptoms look like mine a bad port might be your problem.

Cool I managed to finally back up my sd card after a few attempts with a bad port (went out after a month of having the phone). I've been on a rotating batteries off a wall charger system, but need to odin because everytime I get down to 110-120 ish mb of internal memory my charge says low memory blah blah, I clear cache, play store , etc.

Needless to say people have said resorting back to stock ep4 etc with Odin should work, but I'm afraid mid flash something will happen. I have to jam the cord in, wrap extremenly tight while holding the phone at a perfect angle and sometimes it still will beep like being disconnected.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but I found this true for any smartphone including the Nexus 4. If you are doing something such as GPS navigation in the car and you do not have a charger that outputs enough current your battery level may still go down. Yes, thats annoying. The solution is to use a charger capable of outputting enough ma. I also stick with the chargers included with each of my devices. Ive had too many problems with using third party chargers.

Just food for thought.

INTF2 Driver / ETS / VPST

Here is missing INTF2 Driver / the hard to find programming tools all in one spot!

I have experimented for a while and found this driver. I remote flash alot of devices but even though I now obtained this missing driver, it is still not reading in full DIAG MODE no matter what I choose after ENABLING the HIDDEN MENU *#22745927 - and DIAG MODE OPTIONS **87284.

Samsung has made this missing driver a complete hidden secret right in the default driver package!

Hoping others that are trying to flash this device to other CDMA Carriers can help finish this project as there are no resources available yet.

Here is the steps to get that driver installed properly:

1) Leaving your device UNPLUGGED, Install the SAMSUNG USB DRIVER FOR MOBILE PHONES here: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_15160.exe - 14.07 MB

2) Plug your phone into your PC

3) Dial *#22745927 to enable the hidden menu, then tap OK. (If ever asks for a code, it is 000000)

4) Dial **87284 And under UART select PDA / Under USB Select CDMA MODEM

5) Open your Device Manager on your PC and verify you are still missing the INTF2 Driver

6) Right Click that missing driver notification and select UPDATE DRIVER

7) Choose BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE option (NOT THE AUTO OPTION! windows won't find it)

8) Select LET ME PICK A LIST OF DEVICE DRIVERS ON MY COMPUTER

9) wait for the driver MANUFACTURER list to show up results and select SAMSUNG

10) Under MODELS select SAMSUNG HSP PLUS MODEM DRIVER

11) Hit NEXT and OK to install

12) Verify Driver successfully installed. You will see it is Under MODEMS in your Device Manager with its own assigned PORT.

****NOW THAT I HELPED YOU PLEASE REPLY HOW TO GET OUR CDMA WORKSHOP / ETS / VPST / ETC TO READ THIS DEVICE IN DIAG MODE SO WE CAN ALL FLASH IT TO OTHER CARRIERS! I AM SHARING LINKS TO THOSE DIFFICULT TO FIND APPS BELOW :) *****

NOTE: Page Plus Cellular has an OPEN HANDSET POLICY in which means they allow any device that can be possible flashed into their network. Making all this perfectly legal :)

"All we need is the very final step to get this thing to read on any of those flashing software listed above...."

Yes we now own this device, the Evo 3D, and the Evo 4G :) We will be developing Roms for this device soon!

To Bypass the Activation Screen:

1) Press the emergency call button.

2) Then dial *#83786633

"Soft Keys Now Enabled"

3) Press the home key.​

Other steps Attempted for PC Diag Mode:

1) Remove SIM Card, turn on the phone.

2) Connect the phone to PC, Install VIA Telecom USB Driver.

3) Dial **87284, choose USB > CDMA Modem

4) While the phone still connected to PC, Dial **33284 and then

go to ETS Channel. If it's already on USB, change it to DPRAM

and then back to USB.

5) Dial **583, choose Enable CDMA Mode.​

Flash / Unlock Programming Tools:

VPST: VPST_4.4.16_1_.msi - 25.77 MB

Purpose of a missing PC USB driver

I have worked hard trying to flash this device to other carriers. If you are not looking to get out of Verizon than this does nothing for you. No one is sharing at all how to flash this phone to Page Plus / Cricket Wireless/ etc meaning lack of open source unlock support on this device compared to the Galaxy S3 / Note 2/ etc. This Post shows 1 step closer to flashing this device to another carrier (All drivers should be obtainable). If someone knows how to flash to Other Carriers using this driver, please reply and help others. I can do many device except this one. If you Google this, you will find no answers to even obtaining this driver as I have looked myself (People saying not possible cause it is a Via Chipset and all).
