My Omnia i900, Very hot / Draining battery. Please help me out someone.

[Guest dreamer84]

Hey guys i hope someone here can help me !!! :lol:

A few days ago my Samsung Omnia i900 just started getting really hot below the battery at the back and it is draining all the battery from 100% to 0% in about 15min.

Its not the battery that is getting hot but the chip in the phone or something....

I tried changing to a new battery and that did not solve the problem.

I tried to flash a cooked custom rom and that did not solve the problem.

I took the phone apart and everything looked ok.

and i dont think that the charger itself is the problem because its the phone that is overheating.

Please someone if you got a solution to my problem please help me out... i really dont want to pay for the repair it will cost alot i guess!.

Does putting the phone into flight mode stop the heating and draining?

Also does bluetooth and wifi work properly?

good day.

It seems that something is wrong with either the CPU chip or motherboard. The Marvell CPU is meant to downclock itself when it doesn't require the extra horsepower. You could always try XCPUScalar (download the latest from here) and see if that helps. Set it to "Auto".

I had the same problem about a year ago. It ended up being a corrupt email stuck in my out-box. The phone was continuously trying to send/synchronize it and it would get very hot and drain the battery quickly. Once I got rid of the email message in the out-box by deleting it, the problem went away. However, I do remember I had some trouble getting rid of the email as it wouldn't let me just delete it. I don't remember the exact steps I took to delete it.

Hope this helps.

My battery was ok, but the chip or procesor was very hot .The warm was Inside the phone .Yes I do hard reset .Battery life is the same about 3 days .

If your battery is hot you need a new battery .

Yes for me was the same .Just a battery was ok. I did hard reset .And I do incorrect software fix -

* Press the 'dial' key to the left of the optical pad to bring up the dialer

* With the onscreen keypad input *#1546792*#

* Select 'Preconfiguration'

* Enter code *#81230*# and select OK

* Select 'Singapore', with the default Operator

* Accept this, DEVICE WILL HARD RESET

* Run update, and all should be well.

.And after this i flashed with latest ock's rom .Thats all I think so .And maby you should try to format your omnia storage memory .

I'm from Brazil and I've discovered that the chip I've been using has a problem with some ROM's and happned the same that you've described. So, I did the "preconfiguration" thing, but with Ock roms and another ones always happned the same (even if I change the preconfiguration and etc). Then I start to use Pdhee Roms and all things was ok.

[Guest urphonesux]

whenever i had battery drain/hot back of phone on my omnia it was ALWAYS caused by a 24/7 app

(a app that runs all of the time in the background)

[Guest acrocosm]

yes most likely it's caused by something you install. Here's what to do...

- Remove any sd card you have, if you have.

- Make sure you don't have an XDA_UC folder on your external storage so that no apps get auto-installed after flashing.

- Flash a proven chef's rom, I'd suggest an ultralite/barebone rom. I quite like PDHEE's 21891 extralite it's one of the most stable roms I've tried.

- Hard reset at least once, but you may want to hard reset 2-3 times just to make sure.

- DO NOT install anything yourself yet

- Test it to see if you have the same issues

If you do then you need to visit your local sumsung service

If not then install one of your usual apps at a time and test till you find the culprit

Good luck
