[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmac:
Hi everyone,

Last night I started to notice a burning smell in my room, I couldn't figure out what it was until I picked up my nexus 4 while it was charging. The bottom back of the phone was extremely hot, I almost dropped it when i grabbed it because of the heat.

The burning smell was coming from the phone, so I immediately unplugged the USB cable from the charger. The charger seemed fine, however the micro-usb that goes into the phone was "brownish", like it had got on fire. Also, the micro-usb port on the phone was brown too.

A few hours later, I tried to charge the phone with the nexus 7 charger and all seemed fine again, until this morning. I woke up and tried to charge the phone with almost all the chargers and cables I found in my house and none of them work. The phone doesn't want to charge anymore.

I was wondering if anyone had experienced something similar with their nexus, or has any clue why this happened. I couldn't find anything online.

The weirdest thing is that my phone at that time was being charged with the ORIGINAL nexus 4 charger and cable.

I bought the phone in the USA, however I am currently not living there and according to LG this violates the phone's warranty.

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated

Thanks

Did the phone ever get wet?

My laptop had the same or problem, the charging port ended up getting bent (freaking kids) so while it was charging the power wasn't being channeled to the right area and ended up actually getting so hot that it burnt the motherboard.

From the sounds of it something like that happened to your phone. So one of two things will have to happened.....

Best case - Charging port is damaged and you will need to replace it.

Worst case - You fried the whole board and it will need to be replaced, could have also killed the battery once and for all too.

It overheats when u charge it to much... u should unplug it after 10-20 min it reaces 100%
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kindatired:
That is not true at all. I have left my nexus charging after it has hit 100% more times than I can count and it stays the same temperature as always. If your phone starts to overheat to unsafe levels after it hits full capacity then you need to RMA your phone as something is very wrong.

Hey,

No, the phone never got wet.

I've messed around a little bit with the charging port and now it seems to charge with only one of my cables. However, I need to move the cable a little bit and leave the phone in my table without touching it, otherwise the charging will stop.

So, from what you've said, supposedly I am in the 'best case' and only the mini-usb charging port is damaged, right?

Thanks !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kindatired:
Unless you have your phone hooked up to a lightning rod and you only charge it during big storms none of these phones should be "burning" after you have left it on the charger. It might be time to look into the wiring in your house/office. Something is very wrong and its has nothing to do with the phones.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i leave mine one the charger all night, and sometimes all day. ove done this with a g1, og droid, mytouch, nexus one, nexus s, galaxy nexus, nexus 4, and nexus 7. never have they gotten hot after sitting on the charger at 100%. at 100%, its not even charging anymore. where is your phone when its being charged? is it on something that insulates heat? someone wrote last week that there phone gets hit while charging, then wtote that they keep it on the charger all night under their pillow.. is yours under your pillow when charging?

Best thing to do is switch off Wifi & Mobile Data as your fone always tries to update - thus meaning your fones working hard using data all the time when in Standby Mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
Difference between "Hot" (ie: perfectly normal and more like "warm) and "OMG BBQ!@#"...

When you initially charge your phone it does a rapid charge.. Which is going to heat the battery up.. This is normal and happens with any battery from a smart phone to a laptop. Once the battery reaches a certain percentage it slows down to a trickle charge for the remaining 10% or so.. There used to be a technique called bump charging people did when Google stopped the battery charging at 95% to prevent over charging. People would just unplug, and replug in the charger over and over again to fast charge (over charge) the phone for a bit longer before the trickle charge kicked in.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, 41C is very normal, and even cool while charging. the battery safety temp is 60C, so you have a a lot way to go before it nears overheating. it could "feel" hot if your body is inside in air conditioning. but feel doesnt give you a temp, it just says if something is warmer or cooler than the body part that you are touching it with.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasa_gm:
If it's hot when you unplug it, i think you have some HW problems. I charge mine overnight and it is cold when i woke up (about 27 degrees).

The question that bothers me is how does the overnight charging effect the battery life in general.

I usualy plug it in at midnight, and unpulg it at 6am. Btw, i turn on the airplane mode to prevent consuming batery while it's being charged. I think that this can't be bad for batery life cycle...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatherboard:
Since the N4 houses LiPo Battery, I really hope that its able to manage charging correctly, even when exchanging roms/kernels/what have ya on a daily basis. Overcharging LiPo Batteries could result a catastrophe (same for extensive discharging).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admiralspeedy:
You either have a faulty device, or you damaged somehow prior to charging it, most likely by dropping it in water.

I don't know why people insist on babbling about charging for a certain amount of time. Batteries in all current phones stop accepting a charge, or begin cycling when they are full. You can't overcharge them and they shouldn't get very hot when they are charging.

We have at least 8 Android devices in my house (phones and tablets), and none of them even change in temperature when charging.

I often go to bed at 2-3AM and wake up at 9 or 10 AM and when I go to bed, I shut my devices off and plug them in. They remain plugged in for basically 6-8 hours every night and more if I plug them in throughout the day. My Nexus 4 doesn't even warm up when it's charging while turned on or off, so I don't know why everyone else says theirs does.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
mine warms up when charging while laying on my couch. but thats because the cushion that the phone lays on happens to be a great heat insulator. if its laying on a tabletop of some kind, it doesnt get any extra warmth.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admiralspeedy:
That's understandable, but it also isn't getting uncomfortably warm I'm betting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, lol. id never complain about heat. im the one that always turns thermal throttle off(for regular use), and tries pushing the device to the safety temps. and the one thats always posting how normal it is for the n4 to get warm with use :angel:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfpp:
Same thing happened to me today, but in a samsung nexus. No, no water was spilled over the phone, and no, it was not charging for hours, it happened immediatly. About a minute after I connected it, it smelled like something was burning and when I checked the phone was off. Then I proceeded to turn on the phone and it worked, but the microusb port was burned. There is a short circuit, but I am not sure if it is in the cable or the connector on the phone.

I am also using an original nexus charger and cable, but I know is not the charger since I was connecting the phone to my PC.

I also bought the phone in USA about a year ago, so I guess I dont have any warranty.

Anyway it would be good to know if anybody had the same problem
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moustach:
Hi,

I have exactly the same problem with my N4. I plugged it and it burned end smelled like a BBQ, that I like but not with pho es ;). Mine is charging with some cables and I'm searching for a new USB charging port to replace mine. Any links ? Rhanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BMXJeff:
Did anybody find a cause/solution for this?

I've just woken up to the same problem. My N4 stays on charge for 6ish hours each night and always initiates trickle charge without a problem. Today it was very hot near the USB/charge port as described by OP and it wreaks of sizzling solder. I am very familiar with the smell of burning electronics and this was overheating. Luckily I caught it early and unplugged.

My SD card died and im having the "sd card is not working" message when booting so i was looking to change it.

The solutions looks simple, just replace the sd using following steps. but i came down to a problem, i can not do steps 1 to 3 since the phone cannot boot past the error message.

1) Open settings-> about menu in phone

2) Press “reset”

3) Press “yes” twice. The phone will start to reboot.

4) Wait until the phone shuts down and begins to reboot, and take the battery out. NOTE: If you take out the battery too early, it will not work correctly. I waited until I first saw the Dell logo pop up and then pulled the battery, and that worked.

5) Remove the old SD card (I used a very small eyeglass screwdriver to gently pry it out since it isn’t spring loaded)

6) Put in new card, replace battery, restart phone - See more at: http://anythingbutiphone.com/1016/#sthash.XIKQryAd.dpuf

STEPS 1 to 3, cannot do it since i have no access to the menus.

any help would be apreciated!!

if the new sd card is not DVP compatible, will it be locked down after replacing?
[Venue Pro General] Brain Tumor:
Did you find a solution>?

Were you able to fix it?
[Venue Pro General] Brain Tumor:
how to fix dead or bad sd card also will fix forgotten password

If you forgot your password or your sd get sd card error then download the "update wp" tool,

you must download the one that matches the version of Zune you have installed.

Once downloaded, put it in the Zune folder under program files.

Put your phone in recovery mode -to do this make sure its off, then press volume down, camera, and power at same time, hold the buttons until logo of phone and computer comes up, then connect via usb.

Zune will load, you want to close it.

Open command prompt and navigate to Zune folder

Type updatewp/reset

This will wipe everything on the sd card and rebuild the file structure on the sd card.

I have used this to wipe memory when I forgot password, and also to fix sd error message.

If you can get into recovery simply doing a wipe and reflashing the ROM will fix a bootloop.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forevertheuni:
Hi,

I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM into it. I backed up everything through CWM recovery.

However somehow the stock rom/kernel/etc don't work with this set-up. I just have "free xperia" logo until the universe will implode.

Therefore I installed cyanogenmod and it works. But I don't have the Xperia pkgs and since I own a lot of stuff from sony..those apps are usefull.

Question 1: Can I use CWM recovery with the stock sony rom?

Question 2: I just downloaded the ftf (700MB file), how can I restore everything? If I fastboot everything inside the package will it also correct the boot problem?

Question 3: Can I install sony pkgs as a 3rd party zip like google-apps?

Thanks for the help!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Yes, you can use stock kernel with recovery.

But, since you are unlocked, you can install DoomKernel, its based on stock , it has a recovery and root included, and it is compatible with stock roms. Install it via fastboot, then you can flash a stock ftf excluding the kernel so you don't lose custom kernel.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forevertheuni:
You mean in CWM menus? and install the .ftf?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
CWM can't flash ftf, for that you need Flashtool.

CWM can only flash flasheable zips.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babylonbwoy:
If you want to keep stock rom with a working cwm recovery you have choice using advanced stock kernel or doomkernel both have a recovery working normally. If you don't want to overclock/underclock and tweak stuff choose advanced it is the stock kernel with a recovery with nothing more.

Flash ftf and then fastboot the kernel you choose, or vice versa fastboot and then flash ftf and exclude kernel in flashtool.

Hi,

After one week looking for a solution, and before posting here asking for help, I'm completely lost. This is what happened:

Last week I got a new unlocked Galaxy S2 i9100 with Gingerbread 2.3.5 installed. I took the phone from the box, connected the Wi-Fi and updated to Jellybean 4.1.2. After that, I could connect to the Tmobile (Lycamobile) network but not to the AT&T network (H2o)…the one I need to use, so, after trying a few combinations. Root, unroot, etc., I'm back to the original configuration without being able to connect to AT&T:

CSC: I9100OXAKI3

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579

my CID is : HTC_044

Thank you !
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
That seems like an endeavor HTC one X. I would ask in their forums. Ours are carrier locked phones with different hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
32gb, HTC__044 would fit an Evita from Singapore region.

smk444, do you know if this phone is dual core or quad core?

Or if it is a One X or One XL eg Endeavor vs Evita?

Nearly all One XL are carrier unlocked as far as I know. Maybe just the AT&T is locked.

smk444, power the phone off completely. It is best to turn off "fast boot" in the power settings or your phone is unlikely to want to fully turn off.

Push and hold volume down and then breifly push the power button while still holding the volume down.

Take a picture or type exactly the info that is shown at the top of the screen

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
Hong Kong stock is also unlocked.

I believe the Singapore stock is also unlocked.

Other than AT&T users I have not heard of the device being locked to a carrier.

And it is just as likely a Singapore Evita as an Endeavor.

So far the only points pointing in either direction are the user saying HOX vs the user posting in the Evita forum.

[Java for Android App Development] JamesChilds:
I have searched all over for what feels like should be a simple thing to do, but to no success.

Like the title says, how should I go about displaying an array of strings to the android device? Just as a simple line of text, I don't care how it looks. I don't care if there are no spaces or organization I just want it displayed...
[Java for Android App Development] bassie1995:
An Array should just have a toString.

When your Array is called strarr, you should do

strarr.toString();

to get the contents ready for printing.

Now, normally in Java, you would wrap this in a System.out.println call, but this is Android, and we have no simple console.

To display in a TextView txtv, I would try txtv.setText(strarr.toString());?
[Java for Android App Development] import antigravity:
Just so you know, this will give you [element1, element2, element3] in your string. If you want to make it so it prints it all out on a line without that stuff (or with something else, like just spaces instead of commas or newlines) you can loop through the array:

arrayDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtView1);
String out = "";
for(int i=0; i<strArray.length; i++) {
out += strArray[i] + " "; //adds a space after each element
}
arrayDisplay.setText(out);

In the for loop, you could also do this:

out += strArray[i] + "\n";

if you want to put them each on newlines (not sure how textView handles that though, I could be wrong. might wanna cross-reference me on that).
[Java for Android App Development] abcdjdj:
Your method is right but there are several conditions for the toString() function. Let us consider int[] a = new int[5];

1. System.out.println(a.toString()). [Output would be the memory location of the object]

2. System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a)) [Output would be [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]

Also, for the second option you will need to import java.util.Arrays or java.util.*;

I know, but that's a bit more advanced. It seemed like a good idea to keep it basic :P.

See above, I think we're getting into detail more than necessary :P.

ok so i got my htc one a couple of days ago and it sees to have a serious problem!

Basically the phone goes through stages of random vibrating every few mins to full on constant vibrating like there is a fan or motor buzzing in there. It even does it if the phone is switched off! Ive just had an episode of it vibrating no stop for 10 mins, didnt make a difference when i switched it off or when i factory reset it!

It seems to overheat or something and only stopped doing it after i had just left it for a while. I have tried to speak with htc about it but they were useless and had no suggestions what soever.

I really need some help here, i bought the phone privately and to all intense purposes it seemed like brand new
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99piotrek:

No cant exchange it, only option i might have if i cant get the problem ressolved on here would be to send it to htc for repair but can take up to 2 weeks.

when i got the phone it was still on 4.1 and told me update available to 4.2 so i did that. Thats all i have done , apart from unlocking it from 02 using a code.

its almost like on a computer when its being worked hard etc that you here the fan cut in, thats what it seems like except it sounds like the buzz you get when you first start the phone. sometimes it does this just once every few mins or so, other times it will start doing it and not stop...even when switched off.....everything else on the phone seems to work fine
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farang4u:
Did the device get wet at some point? Sounds like a hardware problem if a factory reset didn't solve the problem.

There's a slight chance it could be a real bad app or an issue with the rom. Maybe running a stock RUU for your device if you can find it might help.
