trying to figure out what causes the phone to get hot. it usually happens after i use my gps for a bit. only once has it got hot enough that i couldnt keep it near my face. could it be a setting change that i did?
See this thread from the comment linked forward.

It appears that my compass is "twitchy". I can't think of a better word to describe it. Using any program that uses the onboard compass shows the same results. For example on GPS Status the compass is constantly moving back and forth by a few degress, when I do compass mode on Street View the same thing happens, the screen is constantly moving back and forth slightly.
I've gone out of my way to make sure that I'm not near anything metal and placed the phone on the ground, with the same results.
This is my third phone and all three have done the exact same thing. This all started after I got the OTA cupcake.
Right now I'm running Cyanogen's most recent experimental build.
Any thoughts?
I would wipe and reflash and see if it still doing it. If it does I would then go back to rc29 and see if its doing it. If it still is doing it then its prolly a hardware problem.

A hardware problem that shows up on the past 3 phones that I've had, the one phone my wife has and didn't show up until we both got cupcake updates?
My bad I overlooked the 3 phones thing. Well you can still try to go down to rc29 which won't be cupcake and see if its doing it.

No twitchyness on a precupcake build.
Talk about peculiar huh? Total of 4 phones that this is happening too.
Do you live in the Bermuda Triangle
I wish it were that simple.
I thought that maybe the software's filter might have been lowered when they did the update, so I've gone atleast 100 feet from anything metal or electronic and still have the same results.
Unless the filter is so low now that it's picking up interference from the phone itself? But then why are the phones that I come into contact with doing it and no one elses? I'll see if I check on one of my coworkers phones when I go in later today. See if his does it too.
I know this is a real stupid question but is your gps turned on. When I run a program that needs gps and its turned off it works but I guess you can say twitchy.
Just checked my coworkers phone and I got the same results. Also checked the mt3g that is on display and got the same results.
For gps status it requires the gps to be on, but for street view i've got the same results when gps is off as it is when on.
Maybe we just live in a very high iron ore area?
To clarify "twitchy" I mean that the compass (or display depending on the program used) is constantly moving back and forth by a few degrees. This is happening when the phone is placed on a flat level surface and not touched.
Thats strange.

idk if this is a fix. but to keep my compass healthy i shake my phone holding it upside,downside up and every way direction for like a minute and then go over my bed and spin/twist my phone in the air about 1 foot above the bed in almost every way possible . i was reading before that it will prevent the compas from getting stuck whenever near magnets.
but i just opened up my orienteer compass app and it is too going back and forth between 2 degrees..but then again its not too big of an issue.
i had my phone in my pocket.. and it just got extremely hot so i checked on it and it was syncing so i was like whatever.. then i get a call. then it instantly dropped. and i was not getting no signal at all.. popped the battery out put it back in..
wave secure locked my phone down gladly remembered my password was 123456 after 15 tries. then it said my simcard cant be read... popped it out and put it in my iphone. same ish.. had to go out and buy a new simcard...
called tmobile up, customer service call dropped like 8 times soon as i finish saying that long ass number on the simcard
so im guessing the heat may be a real problem
ehm.. i have this issue with NOkia phone before. I always feel hot on the skin
near the pocket and everytime i see my skin whEre the handphone rest, it always burnt and from there i realized that constantly opening my wireless is not a good idea. I am not sure if it happened to you due to same thing.
Also i realized some rom is overclock and generated the heat too much which i think might not do your phone good in the long run.
Anyway, this is just my idea.
.......wat
Sounds more like your SIM-card failed than that your phone actually fried it.
Do you use a case?
Wow, sounds like some program was preventing your phone from sleeping, or a runaway process running the CPU constantly. The phone should NEVER get got if you aren't using it for anything.
Could also be a bad sim triggered something that kept trying to access it too, so that could have been what kept your phone running enough to heat up.
Call google, they got good support.
Although if you're rooted and reflashed.. they will say its ur ROM/kernel that does that.
Hello!
I've heard that HTC's have very good build quality, and I've had my IS for just over a week now, and I've noticed 'creaks'. At first I thought it was the screen, but I've now realised it's the back cover that creaks sometimes. If I were to replace the back/get a protective case such as a 'Barely There Casemate' would that stop the creaking? I tried to post a link but am too new to.
Also, I noticed this when I first bought my phone and put the battery in, the battery fits in, but has a bit of a 'bounce' to it. If that makes sense. I thought it wasn't fitting in properly, but it does, just not RIGHT against the phone... if that makes any sense. Dunno if that would contribute to the creaky back, or whether that's normal.
Also, how can I get my LED to stay on longer when I get a text message? It's a handy feature, but it seems to stop flashing after about 20mins, which is a bit of a pain if I don't look at my phone for longer than that.
... and last but not least, Angry Birds. Whenever I open any of the games, they freeze at the home screen. I then have to hit home and reopen them, get to the next menu it freezes, I hit home and do the same routine till it eventually starts working. What's the deal? I thought about maybe reinstalling them, but surely each of the games wouldn't have installed incorrectly?
THANKS ALL.

I put a BodyGlove 2 piece case on my IncS and I do not notice the back sweaking anymore.
Oh, so the squeaky back is a common thing then?
Not for mine, I wonder if the problem is because one hasn't snapped the back on correctly.
It's definitely on properly. I've gone over the back a few times just to make sure it's clipped into place, so I dunno why it should do it.
Mine makes a noise at the bottom left corner of my case, got to admit its rather annoying. But i guess the majority of phones will unless its 100% flush with each other. Even when i put my otter case on it sometimes makes a noise.
The back on my phone is sometimes creaky as well. Since it's a malleable plastic, I'm guessing the weather/putting back on a certain way affects how squeaky or not it gets.
Ahh, okay, that settles it with the back then. Will just get a case. I need one any to give it a bit of protection, but it will hopefully stop the creaking. Am guessing the battery isn't a problem either if it's working in the phone... just me being a bit pedantic.
Anybody know if I'm able to make the LED stay on longer after receiving a text/notification?
OH! I've worked out what's going on with Angry Birds. Am presuming/hoping this is just an app problem. Basically, if I load the game and put the phone into landscape mode, the game won't work. I have to either hit home, or, spin the phone round into portrait mode, and then I can use the game. I then spin it back, choose the next menu and then put it back into landscape mode and then back again to get to the next setting/menu. It's a bit of a pain! Anyone know what's going on with that?
Thanks for all the replies so far.
Sorry for the bump. Anyone go any ideas for the game freeze and LED?
I know it's dead here, but figured I'd ask...
My Glass sat for a while. It was working when I put it away. I pulled it out and now whenever the screen is active, it's blank, and it constantly plays a sound over and over.
Touchpad seems to work. It sounds like its doing something but the only way I've seen something active on the screen is if I take a picture, I get a quick flash of what I took, or framing marks.

Mine started doing this today! Did you ever find a reason / fix?

Nothing definitive. I believe I connected it back up to the app and that seemed to help.. I may have updated it, I don't recall, but it did eventually stop and become usable.
I remember there was something I did that seemed to help and I thought to myself "well gee I should have done that to start"...only I don't remember what it was. I think it had something to do with connecting up, maybe screen sharing with the glass app? Not sure.
Hi everyone. A bit over a month ago, I started getting horrible cell reception on my Nexus 6. I'm pretty sure that was around the time I dropped it on a concrete subway platform. I now miss calls when I'm in houses where my phone always worked. Changing the Verizon SIM card and using safe boot didn't fix the problem. Somehow, factory resetting it seemed to work for a bit, but I started noticing the problem again about a week later or so.
Is there some way for me to diagnose what happened here, and can I repair the hardware if that's what this is?
Does it get worse as the phone gets warm/hot? Try turning the phone off and let it cool down and see how it runs when it is restarted. If it gets better then I'd think a weak to begin with solder joint might have gotten worse.

Well, I would say that it gets hot as the phone begins to lose reception, but maybe it's the other way around. Also, I forgot to mention that turning on airplane mode and then turning it back off helps. It helps some of the time, anyway.
Thanks.
You can try the dialer code *#*#72786#*#* That will reset all the cellular config data and trigger a fresh activation after it reboots. Seems to be a software issue if you are able to improve it with an airplane mode cycle, if it was hardware I would think anything you do in android would be able to improve it.
