Battery charging - G2 and Desire Z General

I was just wondering if it's normal that your battery gets warm while you charge your phone. I'm using the usb port on my head unit in the car and I wonder of it's any different?

My phone doesn't get hot while charging. It really doesn't get hot at all.

My phone doesn't get hot what so ever.... Charging, texting, browsing web...

I did notice that it was a little warm when i was on the phone while it was charging from the wall. I guess I'll try it for a few more days

T-mobile Shadow gets hot while charging-- Normal sign?

Hi everyone,
My shadow gets hot near the usb port while it charges. I'm just curious to see if this is normal for all the shadow? Thank you.
Are you using the extended battery?
No sorry, I am using a regular battery for the shadow.
I'm using the extended battery for my Shadow and the back of the device(around the camera area) gets warm to the touch when charging.
When using the regular battery it doesn't get very warm...
Make sure you are using the charger that came with it, or at least a charger for an hTC phone. I had a friend fry his sda battery using a motorola z3 charger.
Its normal for devices to heat up when charging. My elfin gets pretty warm as well......so did my magician. I wouldn't be too worried. Unless it gets so hot that you can't touch it or something. Just make sure you use the recommended charger as already stated.

Hot Battery

My phone is getting so hot while it charges that it is uncomfortable to hold. Are any other people having that problem? I'm afraid it's going to over heat to the point of no return.
Mine sits on the bed with me when I listen to Pandora at night. After a few hours I reach over to kill the tunes and it is hot. Not painfully hot but very concerning hot.
Yeah, when my phone was on the bed covered by my blanket, and my alarm was ringing for quite some time before I woke up, it was pretty hot. But it cooled down in no time.. so I wasn't worried. And it has happened twice only in my days of using the phone.
I can use mine for hours and hours and it doesn't get hot what so ever. Listening to music while browsing the internet and taking calls in between...
My Battery seems fine. I use setcpu with notifications if it goes above a temp. Never got one. and i check the temp now and again.
and it never feels hot at all compared to the vibrant.
So you guys think maybe I have a defective device? This morning it was was like my own personal hand heater.
I don't let my device get over 98 degrees farenheit. If its getting hot while you have it under the covers and listening to music for hours, you should consider not doing that anymore.

My phone has never been under covers while running. It heats up when I charge it which I can't stop doing because it needs power to survive. Also, it's spelled "Fahrenheit."

Right now when I put my phone to charge it gets extremely hot for some reason...I'm using the charger it came with and in just 10 minutes charging it gets to 112 degrees fahrenheit..i am running setcpu to the minimum when asleep and it still gets super hot for some reason..can anybody explain why it gets so hot?

My G2 gets hot when i charge and play angry birds at the same time... Sometimes it gets super hot when I charge from the USB port of my head unit (5V @ 500mA, I dunno if this affects anything).
It's pretty intermittent for me.
Also do you have a case on it? I have the black Tmobile gel case. I don't know if that acts as an insulator lol. I haven't checked temps
I had the same issue... I listen to Old time radio at night while falling asleep. Upon wake up one morning to an alarm on my phone stating my battery was over heating.... I ripped that sucker right the H3!! out and threw it in the garbage just in case it exploded.... scared me so bad that I went on amazon and bought a pillow speaker LOL

same here. I am using LG wireless charging pad

that's normal unless the phone overheats and shuts down charging. Wireless charging will heat up your phone faster than usb. i wouldnt worry unless your phone overheats and stops charging, this happens at 40-41 degrees Celsius.
BTW questions belong in the Q&A forum.

[Q] Wireless Charging Stops at Random

I have already submitted a similar thread, but this one I am going to keep shorter and simpler. I purchased an LG WCP-300 wireless charging pad from Verizon to use with my Nexus 4.
Sometimes the phone completes its charge, but it usually get to around 60-80% (depending on how low the battery is when I start charging) before randomly stopping charging. How do I fix this?
tl;dr wireless charging stops at random sometime in the middle of the night, but not all the time.
Optional details:
Pad is on a level surface and I have affixed some rubber grips to the top to hold the phone. The pad hasn't fully charged the phone for about a week now, but it does do some charging. I can get BBS logs if those will help anyone.
Maybe it stops because of overheating?

I also thought that could be the case, but my phone never gets hot while charging. :/
I had similar issue with my aTab 4, the problem was the USB charging cable. I never seen such thing before.
But i replaced it and it works just fine now.

Anyone used wireless charging?

Has anyone with the verizon model used the wireless charging? I'm just curious how well it works. I have never had a phone that was able to do that so I have no gauge on how well the technology works.
Thanks
I got the official LG WCP-300 Qi wireless charger along with my Verizon G2 on release and it works well. The charging coils are located under the camera towards the lower half of the phone and you don't need you to find the 'sweet spot' for it to detect the charging pad. It obviously doesn't charge as quickly as plugging into the wall charger but it charges my phone from about 20% to full within 5 hours. I have the charging pad always plugged in on my nightstand next to my bed and it doesn't go anywhere. Hope this answers your question!
Edit: There's an LED on the front of the pad that glows a soft amber when not charging and turns to a bright blinking green during use. I just turn the LED away from my head at night and it doesn't bother me at all.
Yeah that helps. Does it work with a case on it? I'm thinking about just getting one that I can use at work. Leave it on my desk and just charge it as needed. It may may make things easier than having to worry about plugging it in off and on throughout the day. I probably don't need one really because the battery does last me all day, but I tend to get anxiety once the battery hits the 50% mark.
It works just fine with my LG QuickWindow case. I initially bought the charging pad for the same purpose that you want to do with it but after using it, I didn't think it would be worth it to leave at my desk at work simply due to the slower charging vs USB. If I left my phone on the pad every now and then it would only charge a few percent each time.
I'm using the anker one and it works very well with cases on. Doesn't get hot either
I'm using it with the stock gel case with no issues.

Is it possible to get the international G2 wireless charging ?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the Tylt Vu. It works great. It sits by my bedside. Every morning my phone is at 100%.
I have the Incipio Feather case, although I'm not using it currently, but I tried it on, and put it on the Tylt Vu, and it started charging with the case on.
I have a Nokia charger with the Diztronic case.. works fine.
I had the Samsung charger tray for the Galaxy S4, they mostly worked, but you had to scoot them up pretty high in the tray to get the thing aligned.. sent them back.
Nokia has 3 coils so it kinda self aligns.
So has anyone used the wireless charging with a thicker case? I'm going to be getting a G2, but the only thing that worries me is the lack of bezel. I'm paranoid that I'm going to drop it and want to get a thicker case.
I use it daily. Nokia fatboy. charge it over night every night through my incipio feather case. charged through the Verizon TPU as well.
