Update

So I returned my phone for repair, and after two weeks, they just sent me a replacement. I asked for details on the overheating problem and they fobbed me off saying now the 'repair' was complete they can't contact the repair centre.

I also returned the charger and wire to Halfords, and they exchanged on the spot.

I used the new phone and car charger again, and it seems to be heating up quite a bit again. I'm noticing the charger itself is warming up quite a bit and the phone is getting very hot.

I rang HTC customer services and they said they only offer support on genuine HTC products and told me to go to their shop.

Anyone else have any words of advice on what charger/wire is working well for them?
[One (M8) Accessories] gsdaheley:
Yeah I thought about that but I'm getting the same issue in two different vehicles.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
In struggling to understand why you exchanged the charger (which 99.9% probability is the problem) for another, so that it could potentially happen again!? If that was me, I'd have got a refund and bought a different charger.

For what its worth I'm using a Proporta 2a twin in car charger with no problems. I'm using this with a short cable 5-6" long as I hate having long cables trailing in the car.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Does this behavior only happen when you're using navigation and charging at the same time, or does it happen when you just charge? I've noticed with every HTC I've owned that when using GPS and charging, the phone will get pretty warm and the orange LED will start flashing indicating it's overheating.
[One (M8) Accessories] stevessvt:
This is exactly what happens on mine, using it as navigation, so obviously screen on, on hot dashboard, while voice and music are piped through bluetooth, it overheats my M8 and the LED starts blinking and stops charging, even with power saver on. But, if I shut the screen off for maybe 10 minutes it cools down enough to start charging again.
[One (M8) Accessories] gsdaheley:
Yeah I'm noticing it heats up generally, but especially when using a car charger vs using mains charger.

When I had the issue, there was no warning or light. It just stopped charging and burnt the port and wire.

The reason I went for an exchange was because it's a reputable retailer. Not some eBay product.
[One (M8) Accessories] lyrical1278:
Just a thought. But, and this CAN actually happen....

You're really NOT supposed to use a phone while it's charging. That can cause overheating in both the device AND the charger.
[One (M8) Accessories] leongwengheng:
Interesting point, lyrical1278. I bought a charger for my car when I use Google Maps navigation. I'm a bit worried it will fry my phone though if I'm charging and navigating at the same time.
[One (M8) Accessories] lyrical1278:
Yeah, I remember plenty of times I was using nav with the charger and the phone would be blistering hot (from previous phones I have used). So I stopped doing that.

I would simply leave it off charger unless I absolutely needed to charge the phone (around 20%). The downside to that is that there is no way around it. If you get a lower rated charger, you risk the device using more power than the charger can give it and doing more harm than good.

This is where the external batteries come in. I use those now since there isn't any more stress on the phone than what it would normally dram from it's own battery. AND the phone doesn't get hot.
[One (M8) Accessories] leongwengheng:
Yeah, feels like the charger I bought was a waste of money now lol. Probably better to just keep an external battery in the car.

I have a USB port in my car, which I used to use, but the battery would go down faster than it would charge at when using GPS/3G/Wifi/etc. I didn't realise that was bad for the phone until reading your post!
[One (M8) Accessories] stevessvt:
A quick fix for over heating in hot climiates would be a vent phone holder, and turn AC on. Its kind of a bobo approach, but it would work. Also I think having a case on is interfering with thermal transfer,..its insulating the phone and keeping some heat from being radiated away by the metal casing.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Very good point. Plastic is a very good insulator, where as the aluminum body is a very good conductor.

My phone holder happens to be close to the passenger sides vent, so I point it at the holder by default...
[One (M8) Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Yessir, aluminum phone outside of a case with air vent pointed at it at close range, plugged into a 1.5a charger, can satnav and music all you want without overheating
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I'm sorry but this is complete nonsense. Three reasons why I think this.

1) desktop charger-come-stands. Designed to keep your phone charged while still being able to use it.

2) satnav apps. Your phone is in use while the app is running and you're going to want to plug it in else have a flat battery by end of journey.

3) in car bluetooth calls. Most likely your phone will be on charge while your phone is taking/making that call.

I doubt it even says in any manuals you should not use your device while it's charging, given manufacturers of said devices also tend to make official desktop stands too.
[One (M8) Accessories] xxquicksh0txx:
It's quite common sense that using very intensive apps and charging your phone at the same is bad for it. It'll overheat, which may not be bad for it every once in a while. But over time you're going to shorten the life span of your device.

A bluetooth phone call hardly requires any extra juice, and it's only going to last a minute.

Charging your phone while at home, you're not going to be using Google Maps + streaming music + utilizing every single sensor in the phone at the same time.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Right, and you don't think manufacturers take this in to consideration when they design a product?

I'm not denying that an electronic device won't heat up. But said device would have been subject to lengthy QC tests under every circumstance and situation numerous times. That's AFTER engineers have designed a product to NOT overheat and tweaked it before final build.

They're designed to heat up but they're also designed to dissipate heat as efficiently as possible.

Now, that is of course if you're adhering to manufacturer guidelines i.e. using AC adapter supplied or recommended and heading any advice about keeping device free of any obstruction.

You use a different battery or AC adapter or a case which hinders heat dissipation that is on the individual and is a plausible reason why device may heat up and damage.

Again nowhere in the manual for HTC ONE M8 does it say you should not use while charging. In fact I refer you to page 15 "charging the battery" where it actual states "while using the internet while charging device may heat up this is normal" or words to that affect.

Nice analogy but it doesn't fit the topic of conversation really. This is more an analogy of the charging process. It does not apply to using device while on charge.

But I'll humour you.

I can eat an energy bar or drink an energy drink while I'm running on a treadmill. My body might not like that, but it'll deal with it.
[One (M8) Accessories] xxquicksh0txx:
I never said anything you claimed was wrong.

I agree that the phone getting hot is normal.

However, using the Internet to browse Web pages is a lot different and requires a lot less power than using Turn by Turn navigation whilst streaming at the same time with your car in the windshield.

It's kind of like taking your car to a track day. Cars are meant to get hot and dissipate excess heat.

However there only so much your radiator and brakes can take before you need to stop, and take a break..
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
The problem is we're confusing common sense with manufacturer guidelines.

Yes,

I

agree that using common sense, should

I

be using my phone while it's charging and

I

noticed it getting worryingly hot, then

I

would stop using it.

However, there is nothing in the manufacturer guidelines which either make statements about not using it, or statements about 'applying common sense'.

Common sense is subjective and open to individual interpretation. If one user destroys his phone (which is honestly unlikely) from it overheating while using it whilst the battery was charging, they would complain to HTC and they would no doubt make a point of mentioning in their complaint that there is nothing in the manual which states you should not use the device whilst charging.

And HTC are unlikely to reply "you should have used common sense".

It doesn't really matter about how the phone is being used, whether it's internet browsing or sat nav. If the device was not designed to be used whilst on charge then HTC would have made mention of this in the manual. Given it's not mentioned, it's safe to assume that they tested it to death and it's highly unlikely to destroy your phone.

And I go back to my original reply. You can plug it in to a charging desktop stand and stream music over 4G whilst connected to your bluetooth headset and have the display on displaying album artwork. You can have GPS and 4G connections on whilst using a graphically intensive sat nav app downloading map data as you go and locking on to your location whilst on charge.

If you couldn't, if it was of enough concern to HTC, it would have been stated in the manual.
[One (M8) Accessories] redpoint73:
I agree with Chris_c81 on this. Computers (which a smartphone is) are designed to withstand a lot of heat. The phone feeling "warm" to the touch, or even somewhat "hot" is not the type of temperature that is going to cause damage to the device. And if the temp ever reaches

close

to those that would cause damage, the phone will shutoff automatically (I suppose that part goes with the car at the racetrack analogy).

Yes, charging at warmer temperatures over the long run has a negative effect on battery life. But many of the common charging behaviors are less than ideal. The most common probably being that frequent top-off charges are ideal, but not possible a lot of the time. I've been doing many these things for as long as I've been using smartphones. 5 devices over the course of 7 years or so, and I've never had a battery fail during the time I've been on a particular device.

And charging while using Nav? You practically have to, if you are doing a long drive. Otherwise, your battery is going to be too low to do anything by the time you get to your destination. I also charge while using WiFi hotspot for similar reasons. If you don't charge while doing power-intensive activities, the phone isn't going to have any charge when you need it.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

I'm with you on this, too. The analogy of the human body with a smartphone is a bit odd.

But even so, I rock climb and ice climb. Not constant high speed movement like a marathon runner, but very intensive, all day activities nonetheless. I can down some power bars of power gels and keep going, no problem. To not do so, would invite disaster (running out of power when you need it the most). There are other activities, like adventure racing and long distance biking (and others) where they do the same thing. Yes, you can't eat a cheeseburger while doing a dead spring. But you can down enough calories and carbs to keep your body going, while doing some of the activities I mentioned.
[One (M8) Accessories] Thinkfreshdell:
I love my m8 and I would be extremely upset with that situation. Its nice to see they replaced it for you. I would contact the manufacturer about the cable/charger. It may have been due to a bad shipment of product, especially since 99% of cell phone accessories are "made in" china. They may be able to mass produce it, but quality is horrible. Id try out other cables/chargers.

:laugh:
[One (M8) Accessories] TriBeard:
I would get a decent charger (not the same kind that failed), and not worry too much about it. The phone won't let you damage it heat wise. Something people seem to forget is that the One will feel hotter than other phones, even when the internal temperatures are the same, or even lower because the entire body of the phone is acting as a heat sink. This is good for the CPU, GPU and battery temps as they can usually stay cooler this way, but the exterior of the phone will feel warmer.

Hi all...I have a very big problem. when I plug my tab into my pc it recognizes it with no problem until I try it in download mode the I get a message saying that my usb port has malfunctioned. Then I switch back to any other mode and its connects again with no problem until. I don't know what to do. I'm 2.2 and rooted but just want to install cwm or twrp recovery, update to 2.3 gingerbread and maybe flash a Rom. I can't connect to odin or the other when in download mode but they recognize it in regular mode with no problem. Please any help will do.

Can you stop Kies?

Or uninstall it, and only install Samsung usb driver.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordhavmercy:
I don't have Kies anymore. I tried that a few weeks back trying to find a solution for this same problem.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
how about using different USB port? And the reinstall usb driver?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordhavmercy:
I have most def tried that but no good. I'm stumped, I wish it was some way to install a recovery from my sdcard.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
I guess you only have 3 (or 4) options to try:

- try heimdall

- try on another PC

- boot a livecd linux and and install heimdall on it.

(if you have a spare hard disk, just remove the current one, and stick a new disk and install a clean OS)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordhavmercy:
Sounds like I really only have 2 options

1. Try another computer because I've tried Heimdall and it's the same as Odin. It connects to both when in normal mode or even Samsungs recovery mode but when i put it in download mode, it's a no go.

2. Just stay on a rooted 2.2 (which sucks)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Are you using the original cable?

Heard of some issue with non original, but I have a non original that works for me.

Also,

- factory reset, then boot to download mode, start Odin on PC, then lastly, connect the tab

- or may worth going to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, and delete the device (not sure if that is doable, not in front of a Microsoft OS), then click the scan for changes again to let it detect.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordhavmercy:
Sounds like that factory reset option might work, I'm going to try that when I get home around 10:30. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordhavmercy:
update.....well I tried the factory reset plan and it didn't work....In download mode I still get the same message stating that one of my usb ports have malfunctioned. I'm going to try it from another computer tomorrow.....hopefully the problem is with my computer and not the device.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordhavmercy:
I wonder if i can use adb to install cwm or twrp recovery......or if I can flash without being in download mode
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shone.kameni:
Hi. I have similar problem like lordhavmercy. When I connect tablet with PC on download mode and start Odin there is no yellow COM field just blank white field. My PC recognize it as a Samsung USB Composite Device:

Hello Everyone,

I'm sure this question comes up from time to time but I would like a fresh view on this topic.

Currently I have T-Mo US with a N4 but life with a work phone and personal line is way to aggravating. My T-Mo line will be cancelled soon but i was wondering what Verizon phone I should get. The problem is I need to be-able to tinker with it. I have grown accustom to the ability to flash what ever i want when i want. Off the top of my head i have a few options but i want to know what the community thinks about it.

1. Nexus 6 - Right now the rumor mill is spinning with the possibility that the next nexus phone will have a Verizon version. This would be my preferred choice but as it stands right now the rumor mill is also showing that we may not even get a nexus 6.

2. Moto X/X+1 (DEV)- No details known yet but it would prob be the best option out of the phones to be released this summer.

3. LG G3/ S5/Note 3 or 4 - Fort Knox Bootloaders incoming - Hackability 0

4. ???? Any Ideas? - It seems to me that right now I have One good current choice Moto X Dev and one good future choice Moto X+1 Dev (im anti HTC after the One x/s series fiasco)

Hello S2 community,

I've got S2 yesterday, and since then I'm trying to find a way to root it. And I need help.

I found dozens of tutorials, most of them are old, and I am not sure which one would work for me.

I know there's a lot threads like this, but well, I just want to be sure, 'cause I don't want to end up with hard bricked phone.

So, here's some info about my phone :

Model number : GT-I9100

Android version : 4.0.3 (tried to update, it says there's no new updates)

Baseband version : I9100ZSLPE

Kernel version : 3.0.15-I9100ZSLPE-CL232300

Build Number : IML74K.ZSLPE

I just want to have custom recovery(cwm), so I can flash ROMs and kernels.

I had HTC WIldfire S before, and I did root it, but it was an easy procedure, using zergrush exploit as far as I remember, since it was back in 2011.

By the way, is S2 S-OFF by default ? 'cause we had to unlock bootloader in order to root WFS.Or to be S-OFF.

Does S2 have unlocked bootloader by default ?

Thanks in advance!

Darko.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I am told that Samsung phones are some of the easiest to root....Sammy phones don't have locked bootloaders or S-Off (not sure what S-Off is, but as my upgrade will be an M8 I'm going to have to find out)....

With Samsung, the order is.....

1) root

2) flash CWM

3 flash custom ROMs.....

.....or.....

1) root and flash a kernel with CWM baked in via Odin (in one go).

2) flash custom ROMs.

There are plenty of guides stickeyed at the top of general that will point you in the right direction....just have a look.
