I went to sleep last night leaving the phone to charge with the wall charger. This morning the phone only had a 71% charge and was ultra-hot. These lithium batteries don't like high temperatures.
Anyone else had these high charge temperatures?
It seems faulty ...
I did couple of times charging overnight, and so far so good ... always came back with 100% and cold.
i noticed that if i leave the phone to charge battery down on my leather couch it heats up but on my glass table it is fine think it to do with heat distrabution.
so to save any problems i bought a desk dock charger and never heated up since
Do you have a link to the desk dock you bought?
I was quite disappointed that the Desire couldn't use the Nexus One's stand so I'm interested in the alternatives.
Mine gets very hot when charging from the USB on my computer (and it charges veeeeeery slowly), but using the wall charger it charges fast and stays cool to the touch...
I an charging with the wall charger as we speak with phone on and from 6% and though the phone is very slighty warm it's definately not hot.
Maybe you didn't put the usb in properly and had a bad connection?
Was wifi on?? That affects heat. Any running apps??
Charging with the wall charger normally charges my phone from 10% to 100% in little over an hour while staying cool. I never do anything special to stop apps, last night nothing special was running (no movies or music or heavy cpu stuff).
The heat was located at the lower side of the phone. Under the battery lies the cpu (and gpu) and they were radiating the heat in my opinion, not the battery itself.

Hi guys,
I was playin Temple Run and the battery was about 5% or however close to be fully discharged. Suddenly the display was flickering, or like something this. The phone suddenly powered off.
I tried to charge the phone with the charger in the plug, but after some seconds the animation disappears, then reappears in few seconds and disappears (about when the charger animation goes to the top for the second time).
The GN is connected to the PC, and does not power off: but the charger indication is stuck at 0%
What's happened? I doesn't made something wrong!! I used to discharge my battery often!
I also wiped Battery Stats in recovery, it does not helps.
The ROM and the Kernel are inte signature. I never made overclocks or something like this. Please help me
When I detach the USB cable from GNexus it power off (like when it's normally discharged)
EDIT: Suddenly the % went to 2%.
With lithium-ion batteries like the one in the Gnexus 'like' being charged. They do not have a memory like ni-cad batteries. Severely discharging or overcharging our batteries can physically damage them. If you store the battery for extended times, leave it at 30% charge.
As to why you experienced the freaking out from your phone, when batteries get low on charge, the voltage and amperage output drops. When your phone has a low draw, you won't notice this. Under high draw like gaming, it may not be enough to power your phone. Turn it off and plug it into the factory AC charger. Let sit for at least 30 min or so. Then try to power up.

Thanks. I charged the Nexus with the pc until 10%: now I'm using another plug chargher. Everything seems normal.
Temple Run sucks battery like a...you know.

Yeah. In 30minutes of game the battery went down of about 10%. Web browsing in 3G is less battery expensive
Your battery might be damaged if its acting up when it gets low. Try not to run down to zero.
zippity doo da.
Whenever you get a chance, plug that phone in.
In the car on the way home? Plug it in.
Sitting in the office? Bring your charger and plug it in.
If its under 70% that is. A small charge will always be healthier than 0-100.

i just experience the same thing i thought i burned out the phone home recharging it will help its look like it stuck on 0%
EDIT : its start recharge also
the way the screen flicker and the sound its made was just the scary
My Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is on a stand on my desk most of the time. I usually leave it hooked up to AC power while on the stand. What's better for the battery: to leave it plugged in, so the battery remains at 100%, and only disconnect it from AC if I'm carrying the tablet around, or to not connect to AC while on my desk and let the battery drain slowly and recharge it, so actually go through drain-and-charge cycles? I've googled this, but I'm finding conflicting information. Are there definitive recommendations in this area?
Thanks!

With mine I only charge it if the battery is 50% or lower, Leaving it plugged in with AC connected should be ok, I have a amper cable that shows power draw and when the Battery is fully charged the tablet pretty much draws 0mA with the screen off, and an occasional 20mA probably because of wake-locks or possibly trickle (unsure).
With that being said if the battery does fall below a certain voltage with it plugged it it might switch the charger back on to top the battery off and these micro charges can possibly wear the battery out though I'm not sure if it does this or if it trickles the battery (maybe ill monitor the logcat to see what the battery does when its plugged in)..
anyways key rules to lithium-ion battery's is never completely drain them, don't constantly charge them wait till 50% or less, avoid getting them too hot.
Hi all, brand new but I've been a lurker of the Tmo s6 edge forums.
Anyway here's the predicament. I got my S6E yesterday set it up, used for the rest of the day with no qualms.
When I went to put it on the charger it was at 7%, i thought to myself, I'll use an Apple 5W charger for a slower charge throughout the night.
I figured the slower, low powered charge will be better for the battery.
As it was charging it stopped in the middle of the night at 20%. From there, the phone constantly went from Charging, not charing, charging, not charging; repeatedly until I woke up to discover it at 7:20AM. I plugged in the phone at 2:30AM. It must have been in this charging on/off loop since 2:45AM or so. The phone was pretty toasty. The screen was on and the phone kept making that noise when you connect/disconnect from the charger.
So my question. will 4ish hours of everything i just mentioned fry the battery?
Edit: By fry I mean significantly reduce the overall battery lifetime. The phone seems fully functional.
All that noise and you didn't wake up earlier?
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. I've used Blackberry and older, non-fastcharging Samsung chargers on mine.
Had the same issue on my S3, it's battery lasted four years (gave it to my brother as a gift).
If you really want to check what's happening, get a $5 USB current monitor plug in adapter on ebay. It shows what voltage it's outputting and the current. I noticed that my old AT&T Note 3 OEM charger's voltage was actually high at 6V or so. This is to charge the device faster, but it didn't work well with any other devices or even portable battery packs.
I just bought an use xl. The oem accesories were never used seems he was charging the pixel mostly in his car. Now im using the official oem charger and cable and heat up the phone like crazy. It does say rapid charging but even the time went up to 3 hour estimated time to fully charge which is crazy. Now using a galaxy s7 edge dock charge and some spare usb c cable i had the phone does not heat up,. Charge in quick charge and it take like an hour and 20 minute to fully charge..... Im i missing something here?
Charging time left is not static it changes with temperature. If your phone is already reached 42 45 degrees which generally correct it slows down charging. And also it heats up if you are using your phone during fast charging intervals which is first 20 min. Also even when you don't use it, it heats up because of wake locks (charging). Also i realize a hot climate is a factor. For oem charger it can reach 3 amps so it is normal for heating and most other chargers supply less so it does not heat up. Soo it is like a design problem you can charge your phone super fast but it will heat up so charging speed will vary but i think in the end it will still quick enough.
Why do you think they advertise quick burst charge instead of quick full charge ?
I'd just like to find out if anyone else has found that whilst charging that the watch can become a little hot?
Yes, it gets hot when charging, it's fine after a few minutes tho.
Should be fine
For me the issue was that it got hot and stopped charging. Some other people commented that it depend on power source, if charging of pixel power adaptor or charging from laptop. I didn't test with laptop yet, just limit to short charging so it doesn't get hot, because it will battery if it gets hot too often.
gets nice and warm for me, totally normal for wireless chargers, especially in devices this size. Never got so hot as to be uncomfortable to wear right after charging.
Yeah, charging with for example Samsung 25w charger, watch gets hot after 40% of charging and stopped at 90%, charged with laptop, no issues, not so hot. So it depends on charger.
