[Q] Faulty battery? - LG Optimus 2x

Hi guys
I have an Optimus 2X which get really hot when charging.
After a little while it gets so hot that the phone turns itself off and wont boot until cooled down. Overheating protection i guess?
The battery cant hold power and drains in minutes.
So the battery is dead yes? Or could it be the phone?

Did you use the original usb cable with the original battery and the original charger (if you don't use a computer) ?
Moreover, you can install battery life. It indicates the temperature. Tell me what temperature it gives you in cold and hot mode.

Well if the battery is getting very hot then its most likely the battery, stop using it while its charging for starters heavy use with high cpu load combined with the heat of charging can produce alot of unwanted heat, but yeah if the battry isnt holding charge then its the battery so change it and see what happens.

try the blackbery charger first, if it's still too hot i think you should buy replacement battery

I had the same issue with mine Lg 2x with lg stock rom and froyo it was hot like hell!!! Than I switched to another ROM and the phone was OK !

I used the original charger and cable.
Now it won't charge at all with the original, but my HTC charger works. Still gets hot though.
Battery Life shows a temperature at 42-45' C when charging and 35-37 at standby.
But I've looked a little closer and actually where the phone gets hot the most is on the phone itself right above where the battery connects to the phone?

I don't use the phone at all when charging.

As said above I've tried using another charger. Same result.

Which ROM did you have and which one did you switch to?

It has gone from fully charged to 30% in 3 hours. In standby. Haven't used it at all

Try a different ROM or kill the battery-stats with "Battery Calibrator" from the market.
I recommend you the [ROM] 20110921- lg o2x gb stock mod by topogigi v1.6 - Bug defeated!
In v1.7 will be added a new cpu power management to improve battery life. May give it a try...

[Q] My Galaxy Note is not storing charge??

hello there,
everything was fine just 3hrs before.
I plugged my fone on charging....i dont know why it suddenly started to heat,i havent seen such behaviour in past 2 months.
the fone is on charging,it shows that the fone is charging but the battery % remains the same as it was before..like
i place it on charging with 20% battery remaining,after 2 hrs charging it show the battery is still 20%.
i am using darky rom note with FM kernel....can any body tell me what should i do...whether the problem is in the software or in the hardware....
plz.
Can you take a look at the battery? It should be perfectly flat. Sometimes when batteries go bad they bulge. And how hot does it get. If the battery is hot to the touch my guess would be a bad battery pack.
battery is absolutely fine....using it for allmost 2 months.....battery heats up but the portion of camera & around that is seriously hot,not warm....hot.
You using the mains charger? Mine has packed up after a month, it wasnt charging properly but via usb it was and with my old hd2 charger it is charging fine
Sent from my GT-N7000
I think that is the CPU. The CPU is up there, and (we know) the battery is lower down. I find when I play games etc, the top part gets warm.
It sounds like you may have a rogue process. First off I would recommend a reboot, and then perhaps an uninstall of recently installed apps if that does not fix it.
i have also noticed that the latest version of flash is killing my battery, if you have updated flash try removing the update and then reboot and monitor the situation
Moved To Q&A​
Please Post all questions in the Q&A section​
change ur charger....it might work..

as for the part arnd camera it heats up coz the cpu is located there..this happens with me when i play games for hours..so if its heating during gameplay then i guess its normal

(HELP) Phone consumes more battery than charge?!

Hi guys,
I have an incredible S rooted and running on Android Revolution HD 2.20 . Had that ROM for a month without any problems until today I charge my phone while using my YooBao (11200mAh) external charger , and it told me that my phone consumes more power than the charge, please close all unused applications.
I was like totally lost. I had that charger for almost half a year and it worked perfectly on my device without any problems.
Now the problem that I'm experiencing is that my phone discharges faster than it charges. and that totally sucks. I need some advice,
Could it be my battery faulty or was it the charging port?
My thoughts are your "YooBao" has ruined either your battery or the phone itself.
Hopefully it's just the battery..
That's usually why phone manufacturers ask you to use their products in comparison to other "suppliers"
Update:
I flashed Nik's v4.5 over my ARHD and I tested it by leaving it to charge until 63%.
Feeling glad that at least it's charging up to 63% , I concluded that my port isn't damaged although I wasn't able to charge using my external charger. Pretty pissed.
I went up to my phone and used it while it was charging . To my horror , the 63% dropped to 61% while I was using and STILL CHARGING . WTF?
Now i'm gonna wipe all my apps and do a clean flash and no titanium backups for me .
God.. help
Did you have gps WiFi or large processes running in the background? It could easily do it.

Well , initially I thought it was , until I wiped my phone and didn't restore my apps and I'm sure it wasnt the processes that are causing this **** . Charge my phone overnight and my phone stops charging , woke up to find that my phone is only at 50% charge and the percentage drops super quickly.
Can anyone tell me whether the charging port or the battery is covered under warranty if it's within my warranty period?
Any advice whether I should get an Ankers' battery or should I purchase another original battery that cost me SGD$68?
Couple of things you could have a look at. Check in your battery menu that your phone is on AC charge mode. Also install current widget to see how many mA your phone is drawing while in use and to check the difference when its on charge. The original charger supplies around 900mA to the phone @ around 10%.
Calibrate it?

After a day of test.
Finally I got tired of it and I did a simple test to really test whether my battery is draining too much or not.
I plugged in my phone yesterday night to charge at the AC adapter, surprisingly it was charged to 100% straight with no problems.
I was tired alrd and I used an iPhone 3G as a spare phone. Throughout the day I carried 2 phones out and I noticed something:
At the end of the day, my InCs still had 78%. (WiFi 3G off) .
It means that the draining of my battery is not as bad as it seems. The real problem is that I am unable to charge properly.
When im charging at 61% , I use the phone when it's charging, the percentage can drop to 58% (which is not possible as my GPS is not on) .
So advice people:
Should I?
1) Get a replacement battery,
2) Bring to the service centre (No warranty left and pay)
Do you think:
1) Port problem
2) battery problems.
Let me know

It's for me a usage problem, got the same message too. You're running too much apps at once and never use a taskkiller. You also had GPS WiFi and Mobile Network on and maybe at full brightness. Close apps, I think you need not GPS while charging and if you have a WiFi connection mobile network isnt to be on.

Battery Callibration on LG P880

Depends what you call moderate... when I'm using only as a phone, answering and making calls, lasts for more than two days, with wi-fi on (except when "sleeping".
Of course that if I'm using Navigon for 1 hour without charger its normal that the battery disapears
I use the display light at 50%, no power saving activate, and like I daid before, only using as phone at least 2 days (I don't receive calls or make them every 2 minutes of course)
How exactly does one calibrate the battery?
my moderate, i mean lil gaming and whatsapp all the time..
plus wifi always on.

One way is to drain the battery until its finished then recharge it.
another is to download apps like this to do a better job but you need to be rooted.
Just don't disconnect the charger when the battery reaches 100%. Keep it plugged in for another hour or so.
When pulling the plug as soon as the battery supposedly reaches 100%, my battery drops to 50% in no time, but when keeping the charger plugged in, I manage to get 3+ days with the exact same usage pattern (moderate usage on 3G with autosync on) out of the phone.
Finally activated my account. Can help you new guys out with this phone now. For charging my battery, I use an app called "Easy Battery Saver". Don't be mistaken, I only use it as a timer for when to unplug my phone.
Steps:
Drain your battery to somewhere like 15%.
Allow your device to cool off, perhaps for about 20-30 minutes?
Next, reboot your phone and see if the battery level is still below 15%, if its not, drain it again to below 15%.
Next, open "Easy Battery Saver" and just enable normal mode.
Plug in your phone to charge, and the "Fast Charge" bulb will turn yellow.
For me, I usually unplug my phone the moment the "Trickle Charge" bulb turns yellow.
I don't know for you guys, but trickle charhe scares me as I've seen some bad cases before.
Although the stock LG kernel might have prevented trickle charging, I'd still not risk it.
Finally, after you unplug your phone, ensure that you always drain it to 15% and below before performing a full charge. Please do not unplug or plug in your phone before 100% or below 15%.
In addition, it is not good to "heavily use your phone while charging.
Hope this helps. Just to let you guys know, I've been in this forum for ages, just that my account was bugged and I couldn't post anything. I have an adequate amount of knowledge for the phone, and if you can't understand some other tutorials, like somboon's from thailand, (don't blame him), feel free to send me a pm. I'll help you understand step by step.

It's been told here on xda a thousand times: Deleting the batterystats.bin will NOT calibrate your battery or something. That file is created new every time you charge your phone. It's just for statistics. Proper calibration can only be done on hardware level, like on the Nexus One/Desire with the Nexus One Battery Calibration App. But that's not applicable for our devices. If your phone dies out too soon (mine does, too) it's most probably some bogus app that keeps the system awake. However, i didn't find out yet which one is the problem. Can those who deleted the LG apps confirm a higher capacity afterwards?
Someone told me that enabling of "GPU rendering" in developer settings saves a lot of battery and saves the phone processor.
Is it true?

It does, to a certain extent. However, from my knowledge, the best way is to under clock your phone using the LG Gearbox app in the development section.

You won't because quad core is unnecessary. There's next to nothing that actually requires it so the cores just sit doing nothing

Why you still in V10F?
Have bluetooth OFF helps... GPS generaly is activated only when some app need it, soo, check the apps settings instead of turn OFF the GPS...
Wi-Fi you can set it to be ON only when you're using the phone, means that the screen turn OFF and the Wi-Fi too...
DATA is good to be OFF, even for you to spare some money.
Other apps can be draining your phone.
You need go know better the device and the apps, what resourses they use and how they work, then, decide what to do with them.
Steps:

phone get really hot in charge mode

Hello, Im using CM7 nighties and notice that when I charge phone with ac wall charger it comes very hot, like 50C and turns off, I guess, because I leave it and when I back look for charged phone I get very hot phone. Then I need to cool it down to turn it on. But when I charge from my laptop chargin is good and battery is not so hot. Could it be my batery bad or I need to calibrate first it?

When charging from USB, voltage is not that high (half than from ac) so phone does not get as much power as from ac, so it isn't hot then

[Q] Gold 3250 mah replacement battery does not charge with JB

Hello
I have a golden replacement battery that all ways worked just fine with ICS and GB. But when I installed JB - jellybam ROM it won't charge. The battery is drained to 0% , when I put the phone to charge you see the battery recharge icon light up and keeps stuck with the small circle in the middle. After couple seconds the screen goes black and the process keeps repeating it self. After couple minutes the phone warms up. So I pulled out the battery to prevent any damage. With stock battery no problems at all..
Does anybody have any clue about this?
Thanks in advance..

It's never a good idea to drain the battery till 0%. Keep holding onto the power button while charging until it boots up to the Samsung logo.

Just to share with you, I had one of these gold batts which refused to charge as well. I got an anker wall charger and used that to charge after which. The battery is revived and seems to be usable again although it does flicker at some point.
