Battery Purging and Over heating Phone!

WHAT?!! I have assumed that my LG Revolution spontaneously purging the entire battery charge at once then over heating and shutting down was a hardware issue! Now I find that it is the result of yet ANOTHER OS SOFTWARE upgrade issue?! OMG are you kidding me?!! I have been PLAGUED with problems since I was forced to upgrade my android OS to 2.3.6 through Verizon! I am ready to make ANY change I have to escape this plague!! I PAY WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for android smart phones and premium service through a so called 'premium' provider to have to put up with economy freakin performance Verizon!!!
I am especially disappointed in Verizon since I took the phone all the way to their coorporate store 5 months ago and all they did was scratch their heads! They tried to sell me a new battery which also immediately commenced to over heat; so of course the next course of action was to try and sell me a NEW PHONE!
I've been sitting here with a DEAD VERIZON phone all day AGAIN trying to rescucitate it!! ****, that **!

Thank you Verizon; you're right. Buying a new phone is the fix! I bought a brand new LG Spectrum at the Verrizon store yesterday and my old LG Revolution immediately began to work perfectly again. That was the fix. Of course....
You think this is messed up? It just gets weirder. Before going to bed last night I took my new LG Spectrum off a 4 hour charge because it was full. It slept all night. When I checked it in the morning it had one missed call and 6 emails; that's it. The battery charge however was completely on EMPTY! OMG!!?? What the....? Yesterday I was rather puzzled by how exceptionally warm/hot it felt while on charge. The charger plug also felt the same. It's on charge right now using the supplied charger but I changed it to a different outlet. It's still very warm/hot. I'm befungled!! I live in a 1/2 million $ condo packed with properly working electronics' so it's certainly not a source problem.
More weirdness: yesterday I was downloading and re-installing programs and updates to reload my new phone. A couple of hours later it went on an all out download splurge all on it's own, one after another it was a stream of unwanted downloads I couldn't stop. I turned off wi-fi, but eventually had to shut down the phone right in the middle of processes..... not a good. (UPDATE: solved this issue. I discovered that all the bloatware pre-installed on the phone further imposes itself by ALSO being set to 'auto update' itself. Oh! cool! and check this out: it won't let you uninstall any of that sh*t! Cool huh? Thanks LG or is it Verizon; I want to be sure to give due credit to whomever is responsible for that *** idea!)
My new not-so smartphone phone, less than 24 hours old, is already fouled.
UPDATE: 5 hours later. No phone call usage today. Emails, texts, a few downloads, and some new phone setup configuring today. Phone is dead after 5 hours of use. Took old phone off 1 hour charge and of course it was as cool as a cucumber, plugged in new phone and it became hot within minutes. I think that the solution is to just go back to using landlines....
Attached below is a photo showing the EKG of the entire life of my NEW phone. 1 day and 7 hours. Hmph? And I am already in the forums. Anyone know what the record is?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Battery Draining and Handset heating up

Hi,
I am using the blacberry curve 9220.
Now a days, the hand set is heating up and the battery is draining very quickly. I dont want to change the hand set.
Please help.
Regards
Venkat

have you downloaded any app recently before this issue happened? try deleting the last app you download if you suspect that's the culprit. The best thing I could suggest is make sure you have the Lastest OS for your device.

Video and Over heating issues

I have 3 issues to ask about.
o Overheating.-----My laptop gets SUPER hot when playing World of Warcraft. Hot enough that I can not touch the first row of keys on my keyboard, or any part near the video screen.
o *Video display corruption.*
-----While playing I get huge amounts of artifacts, and if I don't switch from windowed mode or to it when the artifacts show up, the video seems to degrade until it is un-viewable. (Artifacts to me are random triangles that appear between items in game.)
o *Left and Right fans.*-----I have installed a program to help called smcFanControl, and it help a little but doesn't resolve anything. One weirdness with that too is it monitors the left and right fan speed in RPMs and it only registers a right fan speed. Is there a left fan too?

There are indeed left and right fans. You can download a widget from the apple website called iStat Pro that will let you see left and right fan speeds, among other system status features. And yes, I've noticed I run a lot hotter now, perhaps because of the optimization to dual-core. I have smcfancontrol now, but other than setting a minimum fan speed, it doesn't seem very useful.
What are you at? With it sitting on my desk, no ventilation issues, I have 66°C (28°C ambient) with the fans at 3700 RPM
Edit: If you put the menu bar option on, it will show you left and right fan speeds when you click on the menu

I was hotlined for no reason, it's been over 3 months, over 10 phone calls, and my account still has a "hotlined" indicator on it

This feedback includes more of my overall history, however I felt the need to share this recent experience of being hotlined, when it wasn't even my fault, the company admitted it, said they would take the "hotlined" indicator off of my account, and have failed to do so after several escalations:
I am sure my experience lately is nothing unlike anyone else’s experience. For the most part my experience with Verizon has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least. When I first started my service almost five years ago, I ended up losing a phone number I’d had for about five years due to a technical mistake they made during the contract process and having to witch phones about four times. From there, I had billing trouble every month for the next 18 months. I had to call in for some kind of adjustment just about every month until I was due for an upgrade in December 2011. I upgraded to the Motorola Droid Razor, a choice I have regretted ever since.
So for the next 18 months I had well over 24 replacement phones for the Razor, until about August of 2013. I was offered by Verizon (via Motorola) to “upgrade” to the Razor M. It was a newer phone, only a bit smaller than the original Razor. I didn’t know it had 50% less internal memory than the original Razor, so I asked Verizon to send me the Razor in place of the Razor M, so that I could at least used the phone as I had intended. Not even a few days after I got the replacement Razor, it fell off my bed (less than 3 feet off the ground) and the screen shattered. Since I had not yet sent back the Razor M, I just re-activated it and called Verizon to let them know.
Okay, now let’s back track to October 2013. I had to replace another phone on my plan, a Motorola Droid Bionic, and we had ordered a new S.D. card for it. We got the replacement phone and S.D. card, I found out that the S.D. card was a kit that came with a card reader to plug into my computer, however it was also about $55. I sent the S.D. card back and the broken Bionic, and of course tracked both boxes. Verizon received both boxes within a few days, but only inventoried the phone. It took them almost 5 weeks to inventory the S.D. card. I had them charge the S.D. card to my bill, but since I had sent it back, I paid the bill less that amount, about $55.
So I had communicated with the financial services department about waiting for the $55 credit, in the event there was some kind of an issue. Even though I had talked to them right before the lines were all suspended, it was still suspended, and no one could explain why. I have called in since November 11, 2013 and I have talked to several people:
November 29, 2013 – Joanne
December 3rd 2013 – Ashley
December 4th 2013 – Melanie
December 6th 2013 – Maria
January 24th 2014 – Michael
February 7th 2014 – Elizabeth
February 8th 2014 – Amanda
Since then I have talked to another few more people, all of whom have submitted an escalation to a manager to approve the suspension to be removed from my account. We have all heard the term “hotlined”, which is like a big ugly mark on a customer’s credit and it takes 6 months of on time payments to get it removed. However in my case, it wasn’t even my fault, the company admitted that they messed up and interrupted my service and although they promised over 7 times to get the account fixed, they have still not done it. I still paid the November and December 2013 bill, and the January and February 2014 bill in good faith. Although I have had a number of bills roll over from one month to the next during my 5 year term with Verizon, I have never been in a position where the lines were interrupted due to an error of my own.My service does work, and was turned on right away when I called on November 11th to find out why it wasn't working, that is how I found out about the hotline, talked to a manager and they said that due to it being Verizon's mistake, the hotline indicator should be removed by December 1st, it was not and still is not.
I have never asked for the company to reverse the mark on my account until now. How is it that Verizon and other companies like them can hold the threat of an early termination fee over the customer’s head, so that if the customer makes a mistake they are in fear of doing it again for fear of being interrupted or disconnected? However the phone companies aren’t held to a similar standard? If the wireless phone companies (whether holding a contract with a customer or not) are not held to a level of responsibility when they make a mistake, then why should the customer?
So it has been over 3 months since my account was hotlined and the mistake was made. I have continued to make my payment and even kept my service with them, despite the fact that my contract is over. Because of the hotline I cannot use the edge program to get a new phone and I cannot bill anything to my account until the hotline is removed. As I understand all it takes is a manager to sign off on some document and the hotline indicator is removed. If that is the case, why has it taken over 3 months, and over 8 phone calls and nothing has happened? I just talked to a representative this last weekend in the loyalty department and I have given the company an ultimatum – either get the mark off by the next bill, coming out March 2nd 2014, or I am done with the service.
I would rather have to purchase a phone outright from another company, and get on a prepaid plan than to bend to accepting the responsibility of the hotline on my service when it wasn’t my fault. I also cannot stand having to switch companies, but in a case like this, I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149. It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets. It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly. But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer. I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

Over heating and battery drain on iPhone 4 after iOS 7.1 update

I am facing heavy battery drain and overheating after updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 7.1
The battery discharges @ 1% for every minute - when not in use / idle. The handset stays uncomfortably warm. The background app refresh, location services, screen brightness etc have been switched off/kept to the minimum. Though there is significant improvement in responsiveness. There were no battery/overheating issues with iOS 7.0.6.
Have reset all settings, switched on/off, given a hard boot (power button + home button) but no use.
Suggestions to resolve this are welcome.

This is not a software issue!!!. Yes, it may cause by the software update.. I had the same issue with my Iphone5 after 7.1.. I went crazy .. seeing my battery draining 1% a minute without using it.. and it took more than 7 hours to charge completely. Worst my IPhone was out of warranty cant take it back to Apple to have it fixed.
Things already did -
I changed the battery
Restored the phone
Switched to setting basically nothing
Waited for 7.1.1 to come out and then update the phone
But none of these helped at all
So i rolled the last dice.. took my phone to a local technician (in Philippines). They said none of the above will resolve the issue.
What exactly went wrong was the - USB POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER IC U2 was busted. Once this was replaced my phone worked just fine. in fact I was amazed with the results.
My phone charged 100% from 20% in less than 60 minutes.
Now my battery lasts for more than 15 hours ( i do not use mobile data only Wi-Fi)
So if your phone is out of warranty no harm in getting this part replaced. If within warranty you may get a replacement handset.
Now to what causes this as per the technician " Every update from apple tries to exclude accessories that are not certified, and you do get the pop up that this accessory may not be supported" continue to use the charger will fry the IC U2 .
Hope this Helps goodluck

Has anyone else had any problems with their phone over heating and shutting down?

I've had my phone for less a month and I've already had issues with my iphone 4. On several occassions it has overheated and shut down. On one occasion I put the phone in the side pocket of my purse where, I also had a charger for my camera. When I removed the phone, it was hot...not warm but hot! On another occasion I was at the movies and put the phone face down on my lap, at one point i touched the phone and again it was hot. When the movie was over, and I looked at the phone it had shut down....this has happened a few times more since then. I've also had problems with the phone shutting down on it's own. I took it to my local apple store and the representative looked at my phone and ran a diagnostic check for me. He said the everything on my phone looked normal and that my phone probably needs a "breaking in" period...to give it a couple of months...He really didn't tell me much more...I don't use my phone for more than the basics...calling, texting, and some mild app use...I don't understand how I can be having these problems when I've had my phone for less than a month...The rep tried selling my the Apple insurance. He told me that through ATT I only have 30 days, and I would be better off getting this insurance. I feel very dissastisfied with the service I got. I was done with my appointment within 10 mins, I don't think the representative took the time to listen to my concerns.

Thanks for your reply, but I guess whether this was a silly question is a matter of opinion. That is the whole purpose having these forums...so that people can post their questions, silly or not. Maybe you are an Apple expert or have "techy" knowledge, but I don't. So what may be silly or stupid for you, can be completely different for a novice apple consumer like me. If you must know, I did do my research, and I did do the basic trouble shooting.All to no avail. I took my phone to the apple store, had it diagnosed and was told some very inaccurate information. I ended up going back today, and got a second opinion. This person actually took the time to talk to me and to better explain Applecare and my warranty. She also told me that there is no such thing as a "break in" period, and when there is a shutting down issue, even after a "restore" that it was better to get it replaced. Which is what she did. She replaced my phone. Obviously, the first person, by his own admission, was too tired and ready to go home to actually take the time to explain and offer other options...

Over heating on charge and it is no longer showing anything on the screen

My iPhone 5 is over heating on charge and it is no longer showing anything on the screen. I was using it when the screen went white and it hasn't worked since. I have tried to both restart it and to restore it. as the screen doesn't not work it is hard to tell the condition of the phone. However it occasionally makes the lock noise when pushing the lock button and also occasionally vibrates when operating the side switch. I can not leave it plugged in on charge as it gets very hot and it is no longer recognised in iTunes unless i put it in recovery mode.
Has anyone else has this problem or can recommend a solution. I bought it second hard a while ago so it is not under any warranty.
Thank you

Sounds like the battery has become unstable
Take it to an Apple store Genius bar for evaluation Suggest you do not attempt to charge any more
at worse Apple may offer an Out of Warranty exchange device identical to donor
In UK price over the counter is £209

This is a user forum and is not Apple. I would definitely recommend that you stop using your iPhone and take it to be checked.
