[Q] phone got sizzling hot while charging with blinking red lighti - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I'm still 100% stock. When I took the phone off the charger it was almost to hot to handle. There was also a blinking red light. The battery is now discharging almost 20% an hour on standby. Any ideas?

Check to see if something is keeping your processor running in the battery menu. Try rebooting it to see if it calms down.

I rebooted it and the battery is still draining...... Bad. It's been off the charger since 7 am and I'm at 20%. I'm at the Sprint store right now, lets see what they have to say. Thank you for your reply.

ya your light should be solid red and no where near that hot sounds like trouble

Time to take it into Sprint they will perform a battery test and probably replace it

This happened to me. I was in 14 days so they swapped me a new phone. Its a faulty battery. Eventually it will burn out and not turn on at all. Get a new one.

I did a reset and while it is somewhat better, there are other things now like loosing data and a couple of reboots.

Overheating issues?

I just (10 min ago) went to check the time on my phone, and when I grabbed it, it was extremely hot. When I turned it over (I put it face down at night so the notification led doesn't bug me) it was showing the battery charging screen except it was a question mark. The phone was plugged in since 10 pm (its 5 am now) and when it had cooled down enough I turned it back on and it said I only had 50%, even though it had been charging all night. Has anyone else had similar overheating issues, and should I return it for a new phone?

Tried a hard reset? If ao, return the phone is what I would do. No way its supposed to drain that quick or heat up. Charging, navigating and playing music over BT and my phone is warm, not hot.
Had a similar issue about 3 weeks ago. Wasn't plugged in charging though. It was just sitting in my pocket. I thought it felt warm against my leg so I pulled it out and the phone was super hot! Turned the phone off immediately, let it cool down, and it hasn't done it since.

The other day I was charging (stock moto AC charger) my battery (40%) and downloading stuff via 4g and mine got to 46 degrees C. I slid open the keyboard and put it in a opening of a vent that was blowing 60 degree F air. 1 hr latter battery was 80% +/- and i dl'd more stuff.

You said there was a battery with a question mark. Was your phone booted up at this point, or were you in the 'battery charging mode'?
Sounds like the phone overheated, which can sometimes happen. You could try to get a replacement, but unless it happens consistently they might give you trouble trying to return it.
The annoying thing is, they say our batteries aren't supposed to be removed. It was nice being able to swap in a spare when my wife was done with her A855 moto Droid and same with having a "spare" incredible...
Anyone know the reason they made ours not come out?

It is my understanding that they used a special type of battery to get it so thin. The downside to this special type of battery is that they are easily bendable, but explode when bent
As a result, they don't want anybody touching the battery and exploding themselves.
Somebody who is more knowledgeable in battery tech could probably give a better explanation.
Couple weeks ago I was using the GPS and had the phone on the Motorola cardock while plugged in (with a Verizon charger) to the car. Took the phone off to make a call and I literally couldn't touch it. I kept it on the side and opened the battery doctor app, told me the battery was 58C. Immediately pulled aside and turned off my phone. Stupid phone has the locked battery door also so I couldn't pull it off to let the battery cool faster. Worst battery door design by Motorola.

Faulty battery or faulty phone hardware?

So, a couple of weeks ago I went to bed with the Note connected to the AC charger while listening to music when sleeping. I woke up the next morning, only to find an EXTREMELY overheated phone that wouldnt boot or charge. Went to a local electronincs store and it turned out that the battery was dead so I ordered a new one. (Original battery, identical to the previous)
The first day of using the new battery I ran in to some strange behavior, the screen started to flicker as if the phone was running out of battery, the only problem was that there was atleast 30% of battery left. I have been experiencing the same kind of behavior ever since. The phone suddenly drains the battery, precentages increases or decreases when not charging, or the battery is suddenly empty at 15-40%. When I left for school today my phone was 100% charged, when I came home it was probably 50%, I listened to some music, after a while it read 15%, and before the song I was listening was done the phone started to flicker (as usual) and then turned off. I connected it to my PC and charged it for about 30 minutes, and when I turned the phone on the battery read 50%?? So basically I've experienced pretty wierd battery behavior all over.
The screen flickering has occured before when using low quality charger with battery stats at ca 1%, thats quite normal i guess?
I haven't been using low quality chargers on the new battery, nor did I under the incident that killed the previous battery, however, I've been using an original Galaxy SII charger with a 0,7A output, should be totally fine right?
I'm out of ideas what to try, I've tried to delete battery stats after a 100% charge numerous times, no change. Havent seen any battery drains from the battery monitorer. Currently using MIUI Vengeance CM9, havent experience battery drain earlier with this rom.
So what do you think? Battery, phone hardware or software?
try to clean the battery contacts at the back of your phone also clean out some dusts or lints on your usb charging port. Charge it back after to 100% and see if your still getting the same problem.
The same problem still occurs, thanks tip though.

It's unlikely its hardware related, but get a replacement battery from somewhere preferably stock, they're not expensive. It's not hardware, most likely duff battery.

Finally bothered to buy a new battery (again), and so far the battery life seems to be all good!
I guess I was just a bit unlucky by having the orginal battery break, and then receiving a faulty battery after ordering a replacement A series of unfortunate and confusing coincidents

This is the most common thing now. I have seen that the stock batteries are not lasting more than a year.
Just go ahead and buy a new battery. It surely is not the ROM
Is it gona blast or something? Lol coz I really need to use that phone untill new battery comes

Buy A new battery & everything will become normal
The same has happened with me. My Note is 13 Months old.
I was playing game AVP Evolution till late night. And in the morning battery died, I charged it to full 100% but as soon as i boot up with in 4 second the phone again switched off , No battery low warning nothing. It is really strange but the fact is that the Samsung battery are just die completely all of a sudden, unlike other phones battery which dies gradually as it looses power and all that ........
I ordered a new battery & everything is fine now.
My old battery is unable to boot my phone even for 5 sec.
I am running my note on the swollen battery for about 8 hours now xP.Sometimes it switch off as soon as I turn it on but rest of the time it runs just fine.Anyways I ordered a new battery.

likeliness of it "blasting"... not very likely.. possibility of it "blasting".. it is possible..
batteries just go bad... a battery is only solid for around 500 charges then they just start losing their charge faster. i mean we are using small computers so this is just going to happen more and more. different reasons could cause this.... use of phone (it is what its designed to do..lol), a "cell" could just go bad causing the swelling, the circuitry in the battery fails causing the swelling, your charger goes bad and takes the battery with it (i had a cat bite thru a cable and it ground out..next day the battery showed signs of swelling and within a week you couldnt snap the battery cover on)... etc....
use is up to the user and their needs... there is a danger of the battery shorting the phone out totally and it never working again too. its not something that happens often but it is a solid possibility, so basically use good judgement...
it's usually caused by over charged (u don't unplug the charger when it reach 100%).
I've been using my Note more than a year and my battery still flat as it is new.

i beg to differ... the batteries have smart circuitry to protect against this. overcharging has not been a problem for years... i personally have left one of my notes on charge for days... it always stays on charge for 5-6 hrs past it being 100% and it still is a strong battery.. also just because a battery is flat doesnt mean its good... the swelling just makes the fact it is going bad more obvious...
I agree with kawgirl

Red light of 'death'

Something that I read about happening on Nexus 4's but I never experienced... I got it on my N5 tonight though.
It's not a big deal, I was playing a game while charging the phone through a weedy charger (couldn't keep up with the drain). It seemed to have the effect of stopping the phone shutting down due to low battery. Rather than the proper shutdown it just outright died with a flashing read light.
Leaving it on charge for a bit fixed it, then everything was normal.
Just a PSA.

that happened on the n4 when the phone thought that the battery % went below 0%(an lg thing).

There were two different issues with the Nexus 4. The first, and the one I think you experienced on your N5, happened when the phone consumed more energy than the one provided by the charger, flashing a red light and shutting down until it received enough charge to power on again. It happened to me the second night: GPS, Waze and music while using a cheap low mA car charger. I switched to a Motorola SPN5400 charger and never had the problem again.
The other, the red light would stay on even after leaving the phone on the travel charger for a whole day. The phone would become completely unresponsive.

[Q] Unusual battery spikes in battery stats

I bought my moto x 3 days back and i see that in the battery stats that the discharge values are inaccurate. I could see the charge value going up and down and instead of a steady drop. I dint charge
my phone straight away till 100%. Please help me.
Battery level can go up and down a bit due to phone temperature. If it gets cold...it can lower, and rise when it warms up. That's just one answer.
Anyway, its perfectly normal. Unless its huge ups and downs....that's not normal.
Yes its perfectly normal. It will smooth out a bit over time as the battery gets conditioned.

Sorry for bringing this up, but I'm seeing the same behavior sometimes in my Moto X. And I bought it 3 days ago too. I did a topic yesterday. Its like sometimes (not always) it suddenly rises up like 2 o 3% by itself and then it sudden drop that same amount. I can see these little spikes in the battery stats, however, I noticed it 2 or 3 times. Thing is, I'm quite obsessive so I did see how it sudden went from 50 to 53% and then I saw that 3% drop later on.. Its not that I'm always looking at the battery but I have the numbers in my status bar and I use to check them out (and rememer them) every time i pick up the phone lol.
The temperature is really hot down here right now, maybe that's contributing. I hope after more days of use and charges it gets normal.
itz absolutely fine
I brought this phone about 6 months earlier and i too had the same problem. But it will be fine in few months because i dont get any kind of problem nw days
For instant i could suggest u to try to drain the battery to completely to zero and let it get switch off automatically. Then without switching on charge it to 100% and repeat this 2-3 times, hope it get well soon
Do you have your phone rooted..?? If it is are you using xposed module??
