Phone getting hot - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if anyone is having the same issue but my phone is getting hot for no reason or from minimal use. Does anyone know what the problem is? I suspect a hardware issue but I am not sure. Thanks!

overclocking?
Kernel panics? charged for too long?

Maybe this is the case with charging too long but this occurs when I'm not charging as well as charging. It has also happened on multiple roms including stock. I'm running bionix 1.3.1

So i guess is data too ..because i was downloading trigger and the phone was using alot of data and i got hot...besides that its get hot when alot of use ..

Yes lots of data use and over clocking both make the phone get hot. This is from the amount of current demand for these actions. I would suggest you get System Panel app from the market. You can monitor what's going on on your phone with this app and better figure out which action is the one causing the most demand.

Thanks guys for your help

Vibrant randomly reboots...HELP!!!!

Can someone please help me. My Vibrant just randomly restarts or freezes mostly w/calls. I didn't have these issues until I received T-Mobile's OTA the other day. I came here and seen others complaining about the exact same thing. I then began to read the instructions, on how to get into Download mode and flash J16 through ODIN. I thought I was all good until my phone would start to reboot w/incoming and outgoing calls and randomly freeze on me. I thought it was an issue with that specific ROM so I flashed JC OC/UV ROM and yet the problem persist. Does anybody have an idea as to what the problem is? Oh, by the way I am ROOTED.

Had similar issues, used rom manager to boot into recovery menu, fixed permissions from there, then cleared dalvik cache and that fixed my problem.
Sorry! Didn't work.

Do you have any gameloft games or adobe reader?
My phone freezes like that whenever I've used a different kernel with Voodoo. But it sounds like you have the problem with or without a different kernel.

Yes I have Asphalt, and Avatar. I also have Adobe Readerâ„¢. Is that what's causing it? If so; what about those apps and games cause my phone to randomly reboot and freeze?

I'm also overclocking. However this was happening before I started overclocking as well.

Make sure your min setting in setcpu is 200 and set the Max to 1 ghz. Apparently some phones cannot handle OC'ing, mine being one of them. I personally prefer the stock kernel because I have only had problems with other kernels with or without Voodoo.
As for adobe reader, if you search you will find several posts regarding an issue whereby the app causes our phones to randomly reboot. Same with some gameloft games. I for a fact know hero of Sparta is no good in this regard.
Good luck

Spare Parts App

I have been using the app for a few days now and it seems pretty good so far. Is anyone else using it and what settings are you using? The only thing I did.was turn up the animation speeds to fast on both.

No. Does that mean it doesnt?

If your android system usage is high, it may still be the culprit. Try uninstalling lookout and see for yourself.

My battery is very good right now. And has been for the last hour or two.
But I like having the security, so I'm lost. Don't know what to use

i dont find it necessary to have a antivirus on an android. as long as your careful about what you download then you should be fine. you could also just get a firewall to use on certain apps or if you have MIUI there is one built in

Read all the review from Market for the apps u want to run. If still paranoid, search on xda first before downloading. No need for Lookout..
I use lookout, I have no issues with battery. I keep data off unless I need it.

Crazy Acting Photon please help

Quite often after I end a phone call, my Photon goes nuts. The screen will start to randomly scroll up and down and side to side, apps will start to open, the phone will start calling people. The only fix is a battery pull. Im stock and rooted. Anyone else experienced this? Ideas of of what app might be causing this

Deep sleep

My phone is not going into deep sleep any one figure why this happens

Tap the 'Android OS 89%' bar for more detail... that is way high. You may be able to resolve by wiping cache and dalvik and reboot. I like Cachemate free at Google Play.

Other than being way too high, that is what it should say so nothing out of the ordinary. Try above suggestion - it worked for me on another device. Good luck.

Didn't work os still really high crap
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
afaik, this is an issue that has been referred to as a 'memory leak' eg. Infuse and SGS3. It has been resolved for those devices. My Infuse currently running custom 4.1.2 the Andoid OS is at 7% and the SGS3, custom 4.1.2 is at 20%, ( usually not that high.) My LGOG by comparison is at 45%.
Until this is resolved, the current roms available as well as any roms based from them will continue to have this issue. Once resolved, it has a positive impact on battery. Hope this helps.
DL better battery stats to see wake locks.

The os is always going to be a high percentage if nothing else is using your battery.
