Hi everyone..
I was wondering, is it possible for an app to overheat and eventually fry your battery and/or phone?
Last week I posted a that my phone died and Hicks responded that my battery died and tha I needed a new one.
Went to the Verizon store, got a new battery, plugged into the charger and within 20 minutes that too got fried as well. So it was the phone.
At the time the first incident happened, I was plugged into the car charger while running the WiFi hotspot for rooted phones. I've done this before with no problems for the past 5 or so months.
Is it a simple matter that my phone simply just died? or is it possible that an app can cause this issue? Thoughts?
They overnighted me a replacement Revo (thankfully NOT updated to ZV8) and would like to root and use the WiFi hotspot once again, but am concerned now.
I just charge my but I dont know why it just auto shuts down. Some time it may work for a whole day but some time it shuts down after 10 - 15 mins. My phone is NTT DOCOMO SC_02B. That is samsung galaxy s. I would really appreciate some help. Is it the problem of battery. If so how can I fix it or do I have to buy a new one. Its a new phone just 5 months maybe.
Hello, this is my first smartphone and I really don't know too much about this stuff. This being my first major problem (I purchased the phone around 7 months ago), any help would be appreciated.
My Situation
Phone was in perfect working order till today afternoon, when it suddenly switched off. I assumed it had run out of charge even though I usually get more hours of battery life. I tried to charge the phone 3 hours after it switched off. It didn't show the charging icon and I couldn't switch it on.
What I have already tried
1. Taking out the battery and SIM and putting them back in again.
2. Vol Up + Home + Power
3. Vol Down + Home + Power
4. Connecting phone to Kies (Phone not detected by Computer or Kies)
Additional Info
This information may be completely unrelated to the problem, but since I'm a complete noob, I'll add these:
1. Phone was upgraded to Jellybean by official upgrade, many months ago.
2. Phone is not rooted.
3. Only downloaded apps from Play Store. Got only one setup file of an app from a friend around 4 months ago, and deleted it after a few days.
4. Bought a new back-cover around one week ago.
5. A few days after I bought the new cover, the phone heated up and became really hot one day. It cooled down normally after half an hour or so.
6. Today in between the time when the phone switched off and the time when I tried to charge it, the phone heated up again in a similar fashion (NOTE: This was AFTER the phone stopped functioning).
Thanks for any help.
Well, if you cant go into download mode, I think its better to go with the phone from where you bought it and they will send it in assistance and in some days it will be fixed, same thing happened to me. Hope i helped

This is weird.
Go with your phone to service center, seems you have some hardware problem.
Thanks for the help, guys. I agree it's weird. I'm going to take my phone to the service center tomorrow. I just didn't want to lose all my stuff, because it's been a long time since I backed up my data. But it seems I'm out of choices. Thanks, again.
I was facing the same problem, bought the micro usb module for about 12 € and i replaced it, all went good :good:

If Lorenzo39's phone is still in warranty is not worth to do it yourself.
Must going to service center for his warranty precedure.
Good luck @Lorenzo39.

Indeed but if the connector is oxidized (probably it is) the warranty doesn't replace the module, or they do with payment (lot of $)
Hello people,
I got a really bad problem with my battery. It discharges whilst it's connected to the charger during minimal use (just whatsapp). Either that or when I don't use it, it always dangles around a certain percentage and doesn't really charge. I have another problem, the phone will constantly say that the charger connected or disconnected. I assume there is something wrong with the charging cable or the usb port. But the thing is, I have the problem aswell when I tried to charge it with the charging dock, so it couldn't be the usb port right? So the problem had to be with the battery, right? I had these problems before so one week ago I brought it to my provider store who sent it to Sony, it came back today and when I got home and tried to charge it, I had these problems again. The funny thing is, when I got my phone back the store showed me the repair paper that Sony sent along, on the paper stood: "GPS was fixed''. Although nothing was ever wrong with my GPS. But it didn't say anything about the battery. So did Sony make a mistake here? Or is the phone just busted or what? I'm quite desperate. The problems only started recently, about 4 to 6 weeks ago. Do any of you guys know what it could be? I don't wanna lose my phone for another time and be stuck with my iPhone replacement which I got lying around at home. I hate iPhone :laugh:
tl;dr: battery busted, discharging while charging, please help.

Hi all,
I have a problem with my phone. Two days ago my phone died with no any reason. I was thinking that is the battery problem so I buy new one and change it but still nothing happened. I pluged my phone to my computer but still nothing happened. By mistake i plug off my battery from matherboard and then connect my xperia to pc and it started in fastboot mod.
What You thinking about this, and how can I repair my phone?
