LG G6 overheating

Lg Forum

I am a volunteer driver. I was driving the bus from Hope BC to Chilliwack BC on Hwy #1 (freeway) with 10 passengers. While driving at 110 km i had my phone in my shirt pocket. Suddenly i felt a lot of heat coming from my phone. I reached into my pocket and found the heat from my phone to be so excessive i had to remove the phone and toss it into a cubby hole in the dash on the bus. I was concern do to the amount of heat that the heat the phone would burst into flames. I took the phone to Superstore to take it to where i bought it. Once there the service person put the phone on a charger to see if we could start the phone. He noted that the phone was extreamly over heated and said he would send it in for repair. The phone was in a protective casing and upon removing the case he found that covering for the camera was broken . Now i had to remove the phone from my procession for the saftey of my riders and for my own saftey. Now had this phone flared into flames i could have have a very serious crash with several injuries. Now i received a call from my sales reprocenitive stating that my warrantee was cancelled due to the camera cover which might cost .10 cents. I am paying over $900.00 for this phone and have paid for extended warrantee which LG is now saying they will not cover as well. The lying i have heard from LG service reps is unreal. These phones do over heat and the camera lens after looking at it closely shattered because of the over heating. I have never seen such garbage service from any company as i have with LG

Hi. I recently upgraded my M3100 to WM6. I can't get on with Voice Commander or Voice Command. They mainly dial the wrong numbers. Is it possible to re-install the simple voice dialer that came with my Orange M3100 on WM5? I like the simple assignment of voice tags and it works well with my BT headset. I have searched but can't find anything.

Regards

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOneWhoSpeaks:
After lots of research, i finally found a solution and the cause of the problem

The dark display/vertical lines/fading is caused by motherboard.(only if the LCD is fresh bought)

After some hours, i found that the solder was "lost" and it must be reflowed!

After you reflowed the solder from the SoC, place thermal paste with Thermal pad in order to keep it fixed and cool.

*Who's the trouble maker?*

The SoC heats up pretty bad. And that's the cause. Using your phone when it's too hot, it makes the solder loose.

Using thermal paste + thermal pad after reflowing will keep the motherboard cool and it will stop the solder to "loose"

*For people who don't have money for reflow"

There's a trick called "Iron Method"

The video is in spanish, but all you have to do is to put the iron at medium (10-15 minutes) or high (5-10 minutes) on the pins.

Video:

https://youtu.be/tAq16lPT9s0

Attention!!!

DO NOT BAKE YOUR MOTHERBOARD!

It's a temporaly fix and it cause harm rather than good.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
And how did you reflow?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOneWhoSpeaks:
I went to a service
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
That is the proper way, yes, but for the people who don't have money to go to a service or don't have one in their city, the oven method is still a viable option.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOneWhoSpeaks:
The oven method is a "live or die" for the motherboard. It either fix it or kill it

There is a method using iron. I used it on mine and it didn't break it. It "healed it" with 10%

Flickering and fade got fixed, as well as black display. If i keep going, it will fix the vertical lines too.

In conclusion , the solder is the fault one.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engmia:
Both methods sound like just a temporary solution, most useful for getting your data out.

If it works for you, lucky you, but keep in mind this is just a temporary solution.

If it works for you for more than a longer period of time, than you're extremely lucky.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babakkardan:
I have the same problem. So what would be a permanent fix solution other than resoldering the cpu to the motherboard?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serginhoshm:
Hello guys

I flashed my Moto G XT1033 (1st 2013) with GPE 4.4.4 a long time ago. I used to have TWRP installed just in case. Last weekend I decide do download a CM ROM of Lollipop (5.1) and just installed it. Worked like a charm.

Later that day when I got home, Android itself started update process from Motorola! The progressbar was showing and never ended. Suddenly the phone powers off, never coming back.

Doing a quick research I was able to turn it on again to the bootloader, who says:

"Fastboot reason: Failed do initialize partition table"

Since then, I've tried every sort of methods to install ANYTHING on this phone, as for say:

- Boot loader seems locked again, as I see the message "Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0"

- When trying "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" I get "Could not get unlock data"

- Trying to use a previous key that I have to unlock returned "fastboot oem unlock disabled!"

- Trying to flash partition with many gpt.bin files (from different versions), seems useless always returning "Pre-flash validation failed FAILED Remote Failure" and on the phone is says "version downgraded for primary_gpt"

It looks like I'm on a real trouble in here, since I cannot flash anything to the phone, or even unlock the bootloader.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, everything works fine until step 15. These are actually the instructions I used to bring the phone "to life" again. All the after steps who tries to flash files to the phone, end up as "remote failure".

Success

Fortunately I was able to completely restore my MotoG 2013 following the instructions from this post:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2623587&page=6

It's noticeble that:

- I MUST flash mototboot.img FIRST because this unlocks the bootloader

- This ALLOWS do flash gpt.bin

- Then you should flash AGAIN the motoboot.img

- And go ahead flashing the other files --- OR --- flash a Custom recovery (TWRP in my case) and use sideload to load your prefered custom ROM.

Thanks to everyone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garethjv:
Hi,

I feel there should be a solution to this but I'm now at my wit's end trying to find it.

It's my wife's old Galaxy Note. Unrooted. And not backed up.

She wants to get the data off it (contacts and calendar). I've already backed up the photos before the problem arose.

It's running ICS. I can get access to the recovery menu and have been able to flash two different firmwares using Odin3 in the download menu mode that I downloaded from Sammobile, but nothing has changed.

When switched on, the phone starts up normally, shows the swirling Samsung logo, plays a tune then displays 'Samsung' with the two lower menu buttons illuminated. It is then stuck like this (for hours and hours it's been left like this).

I can get shell access ok in recovery mode using 'adb shell' from a PC, but as I don't have any root access, I don't have access to any of the data to back it up (data etc. are not mounted and can't be mounted unless root).

The only thing I haven't done yet is 'factory reset' from the recovery menu. I expect this to work but it would wipe all the data that I'm trying to access.

(I have wiped the cache etc. but it has had no effect).

No idea why this happened. The battery just went flat and it has been like this ever since.

Any suggestions from here on would be appreciated. I'm guessing that the only way would be to take advantage of some exploit in the OS as otherwise without root, I should not have access to the data I am trying to back up.

Just one other thing. When left in the logo boot up mode, on connecting to a PC, the PC does connect partially and detects the phone as a SAmsung MTP device. No media server shows up on the PC drives window but if you go to Manage Drives on the PC MAnagemenent option, you can see the 16GB internal drive arranged as two partitions, but there's no way to mount these drives (the only option being to delete the volume). Is there any way in via this?

Thanks,

Gareth

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
I find s8 plus too tall. There is a limit in how big I want my phone to be. I am also not happy they are doing black bezels even on colored version. That is just crazy, the back of the phone will be in a case anyway.

If s8 plus is too tall, Note8 will be taller and probably foldable. Foldable I would hate and I am betting it will keep breaking with movement. Plus I want a phone in a case and... non foldable!

What to do? Looks like Samsung is losing me:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
Samsung are making the bezels black for a good reason, the front of the device is covered with sensors! It looks ugly with all the sensors and camera up top with a colour other than black, they blend in with a black bezel. The black also helps make the screen pop a bit more, makes it look like you're just holding a big screen in your hands. Gold or other colours make the bezels more obvious.

I'm pretty sure you would get used to the size. People used to say a phone looked like a brick with a screen larger than 3 inches, now it's normal to have a 5.5 inch screen. Habits change and people get used to it.

As they are removing the physical button, they need more screen real estate for the on screen buttons, hence the taller more unusual shape.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
Well Note7 bezels also had sensors and Coral blue was fenomenal. So no idea what you are talking about.

LG6 is fine with silver bezels too. No need for black.

Samsung is messing it all up in 2017 and that is it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Sensors... sensors everywhere! It has 3 additional sensors compared to the s7, iris camera, ir led for iris camera, and what looks like led flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
Well that is your opinion and that's fine, they are only messing it up for you though. It's going to sell extremely well and it'll be the best phone of the year just like the S7 was last year. I'm pretty sure they won't miss your purchase. Black up front will look good for many, colour isn't exactly the main selling point of any device let alone smart phones. Silly to say they are messing up 2017 because of that. Having the option is nice but it's not the end of the world if you have a more limited colour choice. There are lots of sensors and they don't look great when they stand out. Black hides them pretty well.

What's the point of starting this thread if you don't want to take on board anybody's opinions? It's just a moan thread for you to say how much you hate it. Here is a tip, don't buy it! Get something else that's shiny and blue up front instead. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
I guess you just didn't own the Note7 to see how amazing it looked in blue and how many heads it turned. Are you saying estethics are not important? They are and they influence sales, especially after Note7 they will.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
And just what is wrong with the blue on this picture? Nothing, except it is a fake picture apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
I didn't say aesthetics are not important, I said the reason that have a black front are because they care about aesthetics. The design looks fantastic to me and everybody reporting on the leaks thus far. The S8 has more sensors up front than the Note had. They have different colours but chose to have black on the front for the reason I already stated. That will not effect sales.

The Note isn't their best selling device, it's more of a niche product and that allows them to experiment. It did indeed look pretty good, almost identical to the S7 Edge including specs. The colour is nice for people that like that but black and white is always the more popular option. You can get a case with any colour you like, there is barely any bezel to colour anyway. It's a very very small part of the phone. Note 7 has very large bezels in comparison.

Design aesthetic is more than just colour you know? They wanted the front to look like it's just a giant screen. The sensors take away from that. I don't want to argue, it's all personal opinion anyway. Buy something more you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
The coral blue was so popular in Note7, they made s7 edge in it subsequently. And this popularity made them "keep" it for the s8. We will see if it doesn't matter. They took a financial hit counting in billions because of Note7 so I don't think it is a niche product LOL. I don't normally care about s series, I will only care if Note8 will indeed be foldable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
Exactly, they have the S8 in blue and other colours. That's what I am saying, it's just the front of the phone that's black. No product in the world can be for everybody as we all have different tastes.

That's how recalls work, they are expensive. They did a double recall and it worked out at around 2.5 million phones. They are not sales figures. That includes all phones shipped to retailers. It's a niche product compared to other mobiles in the market. I didn't say people don't buy it. The S8 is their mass market device. Even minor Chinese brands sell more handsets than the Note range. It's large, expensive and has features aimed at the business market. Recalling any product means a huge loss of profit. It costs a fortune to develop, market and produce the handsets and a lot of money to take them all back twice and scrap them.

Only a few companies actually make any profit on phones, Apple, Samsung, Oneplus and some Chinese brands. The majority are losing money.

Mate, the S8 comes in different colours and looks pretty good so far. No phone is perfect. They can't make everybody happy. It's still the best option for Android fans alongside the Google branded phones and these days, Oneplus too. Let's agree to disagree. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Its the sensors not the color, why can't you understand that. Besides most people put them in a case anyway because they're so slippery, so my lovely titanium s7 doesn't look so lovely anymore.

Does seeing all these sensors look good to you?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
Yes, it is fine, would have looked better in blue :D

I'm so afraid that the bootloader is going to be locked like the S7, S7 edge, and the Note 7. I'm probably going to wait and see what happens once the phone drops.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highspeed123:
US I take it? Didn't have that problem here in the UK, I unlocked mine and was flashing ROMs quite happily up until I sold it. Is it not possible to import one that can be unlocked? I guess US devices have slightly different hardware to support your carriers. Hopefully it'll be the same again here and we will get Samsung's own SoC and the ability to unlock the bootloader. I would hate not having that option!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
No offense, but are you living under a rock? There are literally thousands of articles over the last month or so that give answers to almost any question you can ask about the S8. And as of today we know almost everything. Of course there is no removable battery. The IR blaster is 99.9% likely to NOT be included. The edge screens are pretty commonly well known how they work from previous edge phones - there can/will be tweaks, but we pretty much know what people can do with them.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] m3lover1:
I'm pretty confident the majority will be in favor of the black bezels. Hides the sensors, highlights the infinity display much better, and much less distracting when watching a movie, just like in cinemas. You don't see colored bezels or sides in movie theaters do you? Plus with the screen off the black bezels make it look super futuristic
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
I was a bit cranky when I made that post the other day (nothing related to the S8 just life stuff), so I apologize for my tone.

I think the S8 is going to be one of those phones that is they type that changes the landscape of smartphones. Lots of new things with the S8 that are breaking ground and will be heavily copied. For good reason - it is the compilation of what many of the smartphone world has been asking for in a phone for years. I think this would be a very worthy phone to make the jump from your Note Edge.

I have been a Note series user since the Note 2. The Note 7 was the best overall phone made to date - until the S8 comes out. I have made the move to the S7 for obvious reasons, but it was only for a few months until the S8 came out. I think you will find the enhancements well worth your money. Sounds like it was time for you to upgrade anyway with your phone now being departed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SOCOM-HERO:
I'm waiting for some real reviews on the S8/8+ as the current "reviews" are just overviews. I want to see how the battery really performs.

I'm also considering just waiting for the Note 8 to come out and do a comparison at that time? Release this summer anyone think?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MSK1:
No worries.... Hope life issues go in right direction.

My post was light heartedly exaggerated.. I have a pretty thick skin.

How would you summarise the areas you think are breaking ground and give the phone an edge (in a manner of speaking)?

Trying to convince myself that these outweigh the functionality I will be losing from the Note Edge....
