after i flashed froyo roms (zsjp4, then last JPJPA) my phone begin getting hot while playing games/using wifi/charging from AC. this didn't happend at all when i was on 2.1 rom ( zsjf7). and it is definitly CPU that causes this. maybe problem with froyo ?

Same here with JPM. Also car charging makes it get hot.

Are you charging your phone in the sauna or something?

My phone gets hot too, after FCes as well as during charging. I guess 55 degrees is not really abnormal although the outside of the phone should not get this hot as you might burn your face!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyjansen:
Mine had the heat problems too, i noticed several times that the top part of the phone was getting very hot @ random, not the battery.

2 weeks ago it got very hot during a conversation and switched off in the middle of it. I was not able to boot it up anymore. Hence, i brought it in @ vodafone for repair (again).

In the repair log it states that the screen has been replaced. Which leads to believe that the screen itself or one of the adjecent components may have caused the issue.

If the screen or one of the adjacent components wasn't the cause, i might be getting a new screen again soon :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lizzam:
mine too...

I just got mine a couple of weeks before. Barely 24 hours after i bought it, i felt the ohone getying warm and the the screen went dead.

I've got the warranty..but it took me a week to get it settled, so I'm a bit paranoid.

Currently..it's still warm in my picket at imes..but I suspect its because of sync over 3g.but after a round of game..it does become unbearibly hot.is it because of the display.kinda worried
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsperrey:
Hot Galaxy S II

Mine got so hot that it was veryuncomfortable if in a trouser pocket. It was so bad that I sent it back to O2. They sent me another (on which the camera quickly failed after I downloaded some dodgy camera software) and then very kindly sent me a third.

The result? Just the same - gets red hot at times. And when it does, it empties the battery like downing a pint - the energy's got to come from somewhere.

It's now become obvious that the problem intensifies when it has a weak phone or WiFi signal.

Contrary to other reports, neither my HTC HD2 nor my HD7 didn't ever get like this. My guess is that the Android OS needs to back off the power a bit when the signal gets weak.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztahbeezy:
It is a normal thing if your phone gets a little warm while AC charging, if it isn't radical, there's nothing to worry about.

Also, WIFI makes it warm too, there's nothing there, it's a common thing, even on my friend's iPhone 3G, it happens.

Point being, if it gets a little warm, there's nothing to worry about, unless it gets hot!

P.S.: OC makes it warm too. Also, I haven't had mine go hot, and believe me, I play enough HD games on it for long periods, so normally it won't heat up much

When i was on froyo, mine got so hot that i got a temperature warning! Just happened once when i was driving using navigon while charging. Didn't happen again but i always hang it in front of the air outlets during driving and now i'm on jvq. Temperature is also related to modem version.

On jvq mine got never hot again during non -charging - usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
If it's too hot to touch either your phone is abnormally hot or you have thin skin lol.

You want hot try firing up Mobile AP (wifi tethering) and then playing a game with that running in the background.

My phone gets quite toasty when I do that but not too hot touch and it keeps working fine.

I let the App "SystemPanel" monitor the system and found out that while charging the phone the cpu activity is very high and when it is plugged off it is low (when i don't use the phone).

i will update soon to a newer rom and check that again.

I heard that there is a charging bug in GB firmware?

[Touch HD General] paspa86:
HI all, i've a really disappointing problem. My touch HD was in my pocket when I took some rain on my motorcycle :mad:. Arrived at home the phone was off. I opened it following the service manual. I've putted it behind the power supply of the pc, where the warm air comes out, dismantled, for a few days.

Then I assembled all, and now it turns on, but, it randomly restart. Do you think my mobo is broken? some contact?

I was thinking I can sell the various parts of my phone all the items works, sim, sd reader, camera (back and front) except the mobo ofcourse.

thanks in advance for your help :o
[Touch HD General] pgibby081965:
Hi.I have heard of one way of fixed water damaged devices and that is by putting them in a container covered by UNCOOKED rice. I think the rice is meant to draw the water out. Leave it for a day I think. Never tried it myself but heard it works ;)

Phil G
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
Hi, thanks for your answer, the phone was behind the psu of the pc for a week totally dismantled, so I think is pretty dry ;)

thanks again for you interest
[Touch HD General] la3bna:
I actually dropped me BS in a bucket of water. Dried it out in a heat cabinet at work (50 deg C) for a day and it works perfectly still ;)
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
Hi la3bna, i'm trying to do as you suggested, was your bs powered when it fall in the water?

thanks for your answer
[Touch HD General] Dodger:
You should use the salt that is used to lower humidity (e.g. from Bison).

Put the bag of salt on the bottom of a plastic box.

On top of the bag a plate so your device has no fysical contact

with the salt. On the plate you lay down your device without

the backside. Seal the box airtight and leave it there for 7 days.

I did this with the Ipod of my son which had been washed for over

an hour on 60 degrees celsius. The Ipod was dead, but after the

procedure as described it was fully functional!
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
Thanks a lot, I'll try this!!
[Touch HD General] la3bna:
Yes mine was on, actually someone called my when it fell ;)
[Touch HD General] blc4:
I dropped mine in deep snow... I was holding it in my hand and slipped and also fell :D

It was very wet so I got scared it won't work but when I got home I turned it off,removed the battery,cards and just put it in some blanket to dry off

After an hour turned it back on and everything worked just like before ;)

Also the other day I accidentally spilled some hand cream on my blackstone and it got inside but nothing happened again so I'm lucky...
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
thanks for your advices, trying the rice thing
[Touch HD General] TheATHEiST:
lol, you guys are fecking useless :P

There is no way I would put myself in that situation, then again I have dropped it a few times so probably only lucky there wasnt water about :D
[Touch HD General] miancule:
Well, I also dropped my Blackstone into water and, after drying it for some 2-3 hrs in the sun it works, except the memory card reader - the problem with the water and mobile phones is the fact that the water is oxidizing the circuitry - so, if it still malfunctions after a week of drying, then probably the phone is doomed.

Sorry for your loss!
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
for oxid, i've "bathed" the phone in Svitol, but nothing appens... i'm going to sell it as spare.

thanks all for your answer
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
open the device and dry it out..
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
already tried, using the service manual to open it, and dried for a week, but nothing appens.

thanks anyway
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
keep pressing the on/off button - eg, press button on off on off on off (while charging)

and tell me what happens, eg, a vibration??
[Touch HD General] paspa86:
hi, ti vibrate, then starts, show the smart mobility screen, load the SO, and all works for about 10 minutes. Then the phone restarts and get stuck to smart mobility screen. After that the only way is to press reset or remove the battery. After that if you press the power button the phone get always stuck on smart mobility, sometimes start to load the SO and then it restart before finishing to load.

[Touch HD General] paspa86:
Solved

Hi, problem solved, just left the phone in its box for a month then acidentally tried to start it and from that day works great... guess that just needed to dry out.

Thread can be closed.

Thanks for all your advice.

[Touch HD General] fdl_chris:
The end?

Dropped my Blackstone in the toilet last night (don't know how, I was drunk at the time). I believe it had been fully submerged for 2-3 minutes. It was turned on at the time. When I recovered it (thank God nothing had been done in the toilet at the time), it was off. I removed the cover and there was water behind the battery, in the SD card reader and SIM. Not a lot, but it was wet. Stupidly (drunk) and panicking , I dried off the back panel with a hand towel (possible static charge damage? - not yet known :o ). I left it on top of a t-shirt which is on top of the radiator. I don't yet want to turn it on fo fear of wrecking it (if it's not already wrecked).

What methods to people recommend I should take from above? Or maybe there are some new techniques? Would I be better taking it to a mobile service repair shop to see if they can fix it from the beginning, before I do any more damage?
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
1 dismantle the device into pieces. (if your not sure how i can give you a step by step guide)

2 now dry each of the parts of the device with cotton wool buds (the things used to clean your ears)

3 the put the device back together.

4 done.

....some people say to leave the device in rice etc because it draws the water from the device, IMO this does not work properly and there is nothing better that opening the device and actually cleaning it and removing the water yourself, and this should only take a few mins. it is also not recomended to send it to a service repair shop for something you can do yourself. just be carefull when dismantling the device. do not break any ribbons - used to connect the lcd amungst other things to motherboard.

might be possible you will need a new battery ^
[Droid Eris Android Development] scarfoot:
I have experimented with quite a few different ROM's, and have enjoyed trying them all out.

Just wanted to post a thought out there, and see if this would be worth pursuing or if something like this exists...

A table that compares the ROMs, version, refresh date, developers, features, additional software, bugs, etc, so folks can compare the different ROMs on one page.

Link the name of the ROM to its actual thread.

Just a thought I wanted to throw out there......:D

Thanks,

-Sf-
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
The closest thing that we have is this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649705

But, it doesn't lay it out all that clearly without having to go to each thread and read through. Also, it is about 5 weeks since it was last updated, and we all know how much has been done in the last few weeks (especially Froyo...).

I think this is a pretty good idea. If you want to do something like this, I'd be willing to lend a hand. I am on vacation this week so have a lot of free time anyway.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scarfoot:
I think that we could build on that format -

Add major features, bugs, developer name, etc.

Thanks,

-Sf-
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
It's easier to just link to all of them... you can take the time to go through the Dev's home page. After all, that leaves it up to the topic creator to update every single ROM's bugs and updates, which you can't expect them to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Sure, it would be easier to do that...for the posters. But, I feel that the people wanting to check out the roms would appreciate a nice overview of features and bugs then having to wade through some of the toics which can be dozens of pages, if not more. I'll probably start working on this tomorrow, since I've been spending the day figuring out why my parents computer sucks so bad. Found it - 256MB of RAM. ugh lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] dusthead:
this IS a great idea...would be very hard to keep it up to date and what happens if the one guy that posted the topic falls off the face of the earth? as a lot of people seem to do.

not trying to stop it before it begins. i'm willing to comb a topic or two and submit my findings...gonna need a bunch of volunteers to do the same to get multiple ROMs listed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scarfoot:
Agreed - I have seen lists on other websites, and they still show evil eris 1.1 as the most up to date. However, that being said, we are the most active android forum out there, especially for the Eris. I think this has the best shot in being the most accurate on the web. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
We already have a comparison guide.

Its called xda-developers.com!

Lazy...lazy...lazy.... ;););)

Just read! :) Its the best way to fully understand the ROM anyways. Way better than a spreadsheet with checkmarks and whatnot.

But if someone was willing to take the time, which would undoubtedly take A LOT of time, to list pros, cons, features, bugs, versions, updates, and all that jazz, it MAY be worth looking. But we've seen stuff like this before, it gets created, and then never looked at again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] WesleyGator:
Great idea! Yes people are lazy for not doing their own homework...but there are so many ROMs out there. I have read through almost every page of topics to the 4 or 5 ROMs I have interest in, and often find myself confusing features, bugs, etc of those ROMs simply because there are SO many pages to read through and so much to keep up with(especially when some of these topics are in excess of 200 pages). Among these 200+ pages are maybe 25 pages really worth any knowledge of having about the ROM...the other 175 are filled with redundant information, outdated problems that have been solved, and off topic or unrelated posts.

DO IT!
[Droid Eris Android Development] n1ghtwish:
I was kinda thinking about creating a guide on my website since I can't really think of anything else to do with the domain/server I have lol...

or if someone else wants to, I can give them FTP access to a folder and I'll just host it.

Just an idea.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Yeah... but what happens if you stop updating? And how will you determine whether bugs are just one persons or all of theirs? And almost every ROM page I've seen has the bugs listed on the first post. I'm just saying the current system isn't just "ok" it's the best way to do it. You don't have to read through the entire thread to know the bugs, you can read the first post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
Well, it looks like interest in this idea is underwhelming at best. I'd be all about putting some time into this, but not for 3 people...
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheFzong:
Sounds good to me!

This sounds like a great idea to me. I'll admit it would probably take a great about of effort and time to create and maintain but I'd be more than willing to lend my efforts to put something like this together and help keep it up to date. For all of you who are happy with the current system, it will still be there so keep using it. I don't think this is meant to be a complete list of everything there is to know about a ROM, more of an overview (correct me if im wrong). Plus, this would be GREAT for people who've just rooted and are trying to figure out what to try first. We all know its important to read a thread in its entirety before you flash

Just my $0.02

f z o n g
[Droid Eris Android Development] scarfoot:
I agree - this list should be an "easy" way to glance over the different ROMs, and do a high level comparison. So if someone prefer's hero ports for example, they can go to the developer's page to determine if that ROM is right for them.

Just like when you research out a new computer, I usually do a high level comparison at first before I start digging into the "nuts and bolts"
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I don't think it's a bad idea necessarily, I don't mean to crap all over it but here is what would need to happen:

The poster of the thread would need to understand bugs and things that have to do with the ROM's. They would need to be able to differentiate between one person's bug and a bug that multiple people are having and one that everyone is having.

The poster would need to stay updating this... what happens when they get a new phone? What happens if their computer breaks? Blah blah blah there are a thousand ways you can stop.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Eoghann:
Really what you need is a Wiki, that way multiple people could update the information. Developers could submit their own ROM updates if they wanted and users could add reviews, comments etc.

I'm primarily a web designer but know Rails as well, and a bit of PHP. I'd be willing to put some work into this, but I don't have time to do the whole thing on my own.

I'm thinking of a community-powered web app. Any registered user can edit anything. Edits can be "dugg" by other members to represent validity...I dunno, just some first thoughts.

I made the project page so that people could add ideas/etc and there would be an organized, sane place for figuring out how the whole thing would work, as well as a central repository for any work that actually gets done. It also just doesn't make a lot of sense to use a thread to do this, especially when we're trying to get around people using threads to do this.

Hello

a couple of weeks ago, nexus wifi stopped working and showes me 'Unable to start Wifi' when I try to enable the wifi. However, I googled this and understood that it could be from the superboot version.

I waited for the froyo. Today installed it and have the same problem. Unforunately, I decided to reflash my nexus to the original firmware which I thought it might fix my problem. The wifi still doesn't work and since then I can't connect to the mobile network also :(

It connects to the mobile network and disconnects in a couple of seconds all day.
