[Q] Heating problem on optimus black

Hi all,
I brought a memory card of 8gb after putting it in my phone my phone started heating up even when browsing.Is this normal?

Yes heating is normal.
However I 've never heard of it associated with a memory card. It usually happen when playing HD.games or using wrong charger. Or even with original charge but doing works while charging. In short, heating is normal.

well there's a range for "normal heating" it may not be writen [well I don't know haven't read the manual ] but if the heat goes to a point where you can't handle the phone, then that's no normal thing

So wat is tat point can anyone tel me?

When your phone gets heated up to the point where there's a problem, it will let you know with a warning message. Happened to me once had the phone as gps on my car with 35 degrees outside and the sun was hitting it. Gave me a warning temp is too high. So yea.

Thanks man!!

Sometimes it heats up when you do multiple things simultaneously. It happened to me while having a comic book reader, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Youtube and the browser open for more than 10 minutes. But only once, and it cooled down instantaneously after 10 minutes or so, without me having to close any of those apps.
Try monitoring whatever it is you're doing when it's heating. If you're multitasking vary the open processes you have open by killing them one by one until the heating problem goes away and you can locate the app/process that's causing the problem.
Another thing: try replacing the card. Is it a MicroSD or a MicroSDHC ? The HC standard isn't backwards compatible but it *may* work, causing instability though. What class is the card ? Maybe it's too high a class for your OB to handle. If i'm correct, Class 6 is the most it can handle.
Hope this helps !

Its a MicroSDHC card and its class 4.The heating problem happens only when I play some gameloft games which are stored in sd card for a long time may b for 1\2 hour.I think I need to replace the card...

Yup. Nailed it. I have a MicroSDHC myself. 8Gigs, Class 4, but I never experienced these issues myself.
Didn't your phone come with that stock, no-name Class 2, 2 Gigs card in the package ?
You could try that before buying a new card and see if it's the same issue...
Good luck !

me too have the same problem.
I am currently charging but it still drain the batt.
My phone reach 76% on charge but it turn to 74%, how could that possible?
check the battery stat, it says that media use 44% of battery but on that time i dont play any of media. just have 2 progs that run, dsp manager and easy task killer. this thing happen when I edit my configuration setting. use cm7 #20 and nova kernel V11c by Knzo.
could anyone help me?

Try to calibrate your battery if the battery stat showing you the wrong way
And for the battery stat thing, i'm pretty sure that's a "since unplugged" usage, that means you ever open the media since it unplugged and it used 44% from the showing stat

[Q] Sudden decrease in battery life without software change

Hello!
Please allow me to introduce myself - I am a long-time xda forum lurker, who has not had the chance to post due to the fact that I am neither an expert, nor have had any questions that weren't covered by a simple search.
However, the day before an interesting thing happened to my P880. Without updating the software, due to the fact that my operator does not support it, battery life suddenly plunged significantly. In fact currently when charging, it discharges faster than it charges. So the only way to use it is to turn it off, charge it and then use it for a couple of hours.
As I said my software is stock and I haven't changed it for almost a year since I got the phone. It's version is "LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012" with 2.6.39.4 Kernel.
That is what makes this issue even more interesting in my opinion, I cannot find a cause for it.
I note that the phone is warm to touch, so something is wake-locking it. However I am not an expert, but I will do my best to provide additional information if I can.
Thank you very much!

First of all download BBS and see what is keeping your phone awake. If you say that the phone is always warm than that wakelock seems as logical culprit. Something is keeping your phone stuck on high frequency and keeping it from deep sleep. Use BBS, you will know more after that..

The awake time is 9%, similar to what it was before, however the prone has been woken 872 times by System(radio). At the moment the phone lasts for 3 hours at most, while being charged at the same time.

Check your radio settings,maybe it is connecting to network all the time. Also you can freeze it..

Thank you for your quick response,
I force stopped the radio from the applications, and I had tried that before as well, however there is no noticeable difference, I can still see % drop by the minute.

Maybe it is battery malfunction..
Can you provide a dump from BBS?

radio isn't fm radio. it's needed for signal, dont freeze it

Issue is resolved by removing the external microSD card.
Now that was unexpected...
I haven't tested it with another SD card if the problem was in the card or in the phone itself.

It can't open the micro sd card from Windows. It simply isn't there.
Yes there were videos on it.

well, there's your problem. it was the mediascannerservice on android. the thing that scans the storage for media files for your music player, video player etc. it will go insane when your memory card is corrupted or damaged, which looks like what has happened to your memory card.

[Q] Massive battery drain

Hello everyone
I really would appreciate some help. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i9220 bought from Finland. The battery life never was really good, but then the phone started to experience some heavy battery drain, I can't say exactly when or if after I did something. I am running the standard firmware with the newest update. Also the battery icon keeps flashing now and then. I thought that buying the MPJ 7000mAh battery would be the game changer, but the battery life is as bad as with the regular battery. I recovered the phone to factory settings, didn't help, tried to shift the MicroUSB-port connector in case it was contacting the frames and cleaning the port, didn't help, tried to remove the MicroSD card since I read something that card formatted with a older firmware could have some problems with the newer firmware, didn't help. It seems that there is no other way to stop the battery drain. Maybe my unit is just exceptionally bad? Thanks for any help.
Best regards
Northlogic VFX

Preliminary report showed that removing the MicroSD card enhanced battery life. Though still there is the problem of the battery icon flashing. My phone cannot enter the Deep Sleep state, and I think this is the reason and if it could, the battery life should be much longer.

I have seen this on the Note N7000 when the USB daughter board has been replaced with a cheap copy.
Do you also have problems with WiFi and/or Voice network signal strength either being low or fluctuating a lot (i.e. dropping then re-establishing connection)?
Do you have problems with the microphone? E.G. people not being able to hear you clearly?
The battery drain, microphone and/or signal problems were symptoms of a cheap copy daughter board.
Quite easy to fix though, get Samsung to replace daughter board (£35 UK service centre) or buy an original on the interweb and fit it yourself.

Hey FabreFaction, thanks for your message. The problems with my Wi-Fi has been hard to tell apart whether it's a connection problem in the phone, or just that the fact that the places I have been have had fluctuating connections. But I don't really have had any serious microphone and signal problems. I will be draining my battery out and fulfilling it to 100 percent and then check out the battery life in my normal usage. After removing the MicroSD card for test the battery life has been significantly longer.

It seems odd that the SD card would drain your battery significantly.
Difficult to comment on as I have run my N7000 with an SD card from day one.
The best thing you can do is install Better Battery Stats and post the log on the XDA thread for the experts to analyse for you.
They may be able to identify what is causing the drain you are experiencing.
It's worth reading through the OP on the thread before you get stuck into BBS.

I installed the Better Battery Stats now. It said that I should gather information for a few days. How do I actually post the log for others to see?

It's all explained on the BBS thread.
If you're not sure after reading the OP, post a question on the thread.

Sure thing, thank you!

So I have found that it is difficult to get the connection to the USB-port (the cord needs to be in pretty exact position for order to work), is this also an effect of the cheap USB daughter board copy? It should not be the cord, since it was pretty new when I bought it.

I too have same problem of heavy battery drain. Infact, my screen starts fluctuating as it reaches 40-30% mark and blackout all of a sudden. As i plug-in my charger it shows 0% battery.

I had exactly the same thing, the reported charge would drop from 50% to 2% in five minutes or after a restart. I replaced the battery and this completely solved it. I think the battery just could provide enough Ooomph when it was needed.
(FYI I bought a replacement on ebay for £4.99 claiming 3250 mAh "KinPS" battery. No idea what the real capacity is but it lasts easily all day on a charge now and no longer drops quickly).

try another microSD
The 16GB card I had in my Galaxy Note was around 4-5 years old, had been written to A LOT. It was a standard Sandisk card.
I was having all sorts of problems with it freezing up my phone on certain apps (I keep a lot of them on my ext card). After
moving a couple apps that were freezing back to the internal card, the problems stopped, but I was still having battery drain
issues. (back of phone would get hot, would not go to deep sleep etc).
I bought a NEW microSD, same size and copied everything from one card to the new card and haven't had any issues.
Battery life is improved. One other thing. The original card was also having issues with it working in my PC. Sometimes it
would read, other times it would not.
Might try a new card see if it helps also.

Note 3 Media battery usage

Hi,
I've recently purchased the Samsung Note 3, overall great phone so far very quick big and shiny.
I've had some problems with the battery i've seen some weird applications using pretty much battery while i can't recall which app it is.
Battery after almost 13 hours:

I tried disabling so much features but still can't seem to fix it.
PS:
Not using any music on my phone, the only thing i do is accepting photos on Whatsapp and making some.
I've placed a SD card before in this device but removed it because i've read something about battery draining sd cards.

I had the same problem with all mj5 roms I tried to some degree or another. The only thing that made it better was xnote v.7. The media drain is non existent for me on xnote.

Even though i removed the SD card the Media drain remained.
I wen't back to factory reset and didn't had the media drain anymore.
After the reset i also didn't placed my 5000 photo's back on the phone so this could be the issue also.

I never really figured it out. It didn't resolve when I changed SD Cards, however I did put back a lot of my stuff. My wife's note 3 doesn't have the same problem on any rom I put on her phone. The only difference I can tell is I still have MI9 as the base with the corresponding modem, while she is MJ5. That is my current theory as to what causes it, but I don't want to upgrade mine to MJ5.
Anyway, Xnote solves the problem, even if I prefer other roms a little bit more. My battery doesn't drop seemingly at all unless I am actually using the phone.
