Overheating, huge battery drain and charger wont keep up with battery being used. - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like title says, phone overheating and consumes more power then charger can keep up.
Why is this happening? I didnt have this problem on CM roms...

Flash different ROM or Firmware and Wipe everything...or before that do a Factory Reset.

Check the Wakelocks same happens to me time to time and is an annoying Wake lock named handle media events and is related to Bluetooth and music devices and is an android issue, the only way to rid me off is turning off the phone completely, reboot don't work.

Thanks for the help, but since i had so many "corrupt" files i just couldnt be bothered redownloading them all.
I fixed this issue by turning off autoscan from poweramp. My phone isnt running at 2.2ghz the whole time but just sits at 300mhz when noting is happening which is the whole point.

Sorry for bumping this old thread, not that old. I found the best solution to overheating issues on our phones. Just submerge it in cold water, that's right. I asked Sony just to be sure, they said "I could..." but to make sure the ports are well closed. I tested it myself, I had 500 ML of 0c water I pulled from the Refrigerator, my phone was hot so was the weather, I poured the water over it and just like that, my phone cooled down. You guys can try it out for yourselves, just make sure the ports are well closed.

Umm, if the heat is being caused by the drain and cpu usage how it would help?
After a bit it will start to get hot again, no?

I don't have Drainage issues on my phone. Overheating on any computing device is usually cause by "CPU Usage" most of the time -_-. I'm saying if you want to cool your phone real fast, just pour water, gets hot again? Pour ice cold water. I did it with sub-zero water, it stayed cold for 35 minutes, I left the camera recording a video.

Please upload your batterystats.bin

I really need the batterystats.bin from someone who has a Milestone with alright battery life.
Please upload, I'd appreciate it very much.
Attached. Why do you need it?

Thank you very much!
My phone has been acting weird regarding battery level, mainly draining quickly to 5 % and then staying alive for a long time. Despite various attempts at calibrating the battery. So I'm thinking if it's so hard for it to create a batterystats.bin that makes sense, I should try serving it one.

Ok. Let me know if it was of any help.
It seems like it no longer happens during every discharge cycle, but it still happens often. This happened tonight:

From 100 % to 70 %, I used it to stream music using Spotify in the car, or kept it untouched in my pocket. Lit the screen a few times to change songs.
From 70 % to 20 %, I sent some text messages, tweeted, surfed a little bit. Not much at all, but the level just plummeted.
The voltage goes up and down.
So it seems the battery level plummets when I keep the screen on longer than for a few seconds.
Going to try a pirate battery next week and see if I get the same results still.
Edit:
After it plummeted to 5 %, I rebooted the phone. Then it showed 50 %. Going crazy...
I have a similar problem. But my batt is not drained that fast. It is fast, but not that.
My batt also "charges itself" sometimes when reboot.
Tried to callibrate but no success.
This started when i bought a new battery.

I think I've gotten rid of my problem by flashing stock and not over-clocking. But it still happens with the new battery I got off eBay. So I'd suggest you try to find an original battery. I hope the ones marked original at eBay actually are originals.
I bought one battery from ebay marked as original and then when it arrived I could check that it is not original, and the battery drains very fast and auto-recharge.
Open your pocket and buy a new battery directly from a motorola authorized seller. I did this and solved all my problems. Btw, I could get my milestone for 3 days without recharding (I had used basically for voice and sms). That is definitely a record!
Just a qiuck question regarding new batteries, do i need to do some fancy calibration to get it working correctly?

[Q] HP Pavilion dv6-3079TX 96 MHz?

hi everyone, i looked around the web a fair bit, and havent found anything in english, so i thought i'd call on this knowledgeable community.
My HP Pavillion DV6-3079TX clocks its core i7 Q720 to 96 Mhz,

for seemingly no reason whatsoever. yesterday it did it when the cpu was at 95 degrees Celsius, but today it did it and the cpu was only at 71 degrees. note that 71 degrees is not much for my computer, it usually sits on 80-85 degrees.
anyway, i'd just like some help, i know its not related to phones, but surely someone would like to help a fellow android user in need
THE 90s ARE BACK!
prebuilt computer fail ...
a lappy that heats up to 80-90 belongs in the garbage .. good news tho , its already headed there(pretty fast too)
Haha, should I go get it replaced under warranty?
so listen ... the 96 mhz you got there is the cpu throttling down itself to prevent it from turning into coal
according to the ark the shutdown temp is 100C so it should be throttling down at ~95C (core temp)
in your monitoring program your cpu case temp is lower but individual core temps are usually higher by 15C .
also , cpu case temps above 67-72 for prolonged time will cause perm damage , maybe thats why its shutting down earlier and earlier
any kind of solution to this? i already have a logitech cooling pad thing, but what else?

i dont think that would suffice ... theres either alot of dust or some crack/disconnect in a heatsink or a fan is dieing
you can try canned pressured air if youve had the lappy for a good few months for dust
Im taking it back tomorrow to the retailer, see if they can replace the cpu or something

[Q] Tethering + Heat - is this normal?

Have been using the Mobile Hotspot app off and on for the past couple of days for Netflix streaming and the phone screen gets hot enough to where I can't use it for a phone call without risking burning my face.
Trying to figure out if this is a problem, or normal behavior - haven't rooted the phone yet in case I need to send if back.
Is the phone supposed to get ridiculously hot when running the Mobile Hotspot app?
My Droid 2 would get Seriously hot like that. I just got home with my bionic like 8 seconds ago so i havent experienced it on this, but phone do get way way hot. Especially since they are now thinner, beefier proc, etc.
I started out with a Droid X and it would get that hot when I used it as a hotspot. I have a bionic and it does the same thing even when I'm tethered to my PC.
When it's tethered to my PC I let my phone sit on top of a zip lock bag filled with water and it stays at a nice temperature.
Phew! Good to know that I'm not the only one...thanks.
The water-filled ziploc would be a DISASTER in my house - I've got a toddler and a kitten so the phone needs to be out of reach and nowhere near water.
I think I've found a solution. Hooked a car mount to a fan (that's out of everyone's reach), wrapped a charger cable around it and strapped the phone into it. Seems to be helping.

that's really creative! haha water cooled vs air cooled.
We're doing all this to preserve our hardware that out-of-the-box an overheating machine.
This is ridiculous the things you have to to havea phone with out issues. My thunderbolt reach 113 degrees watching youtube.

battery/heat output wtf over, signal sux

OK I know phones put out heat but not with the simplest of tasks. I mean this is ridiculous if I play a game on it it gets smoking hot. My wife's nexus 6 doesn't even get warm and my s 5 I traded in for this barely got warm even with heavy use. Now onto the battery omg it drains faster than a 454 wide open does anyone have any advice or work around that actual work to improve both of these issues I am rooted have greenify, and tibu with some bloat frozen but still no noticeable difference thanks in advance
Oh yeah did I mention that the signal sux ass I'm constantly loosing lte coverage and it takes forever to even load the playstore....
I can literally sit here on the lowest brightness, everything disabled and watch the battery percentage go down. On super light use (navigating settings etc) it's warm.
Tried stock... or on clean rom...same.
Just charged to full, did a factory reset..Started fresh no restore and it went from 100% to 94% in less than 8 minutes. Is this a joke? Lol yeah this one is going back! Oh and those 8 minutes we're very very light use..just navigating phone.

I've been up for 3 hrs and I'm down to 52% I am using my tether but that's it. Think I might take this back and try the edge or another s6...I heard lollipop 5.1 is suppose to fix these issues any buddy have an info what so ever on the problems causing this. I love the phone but something needs to happen here and fast

3 hours tethering and you only lost 48%? That's pretty good. Tethering uses your cell data (battery kilker) and constant WiFi (battery killer) while keeping the CPU out of deep sleep to process routing for the tethered devices.
Yeah I know it eats battery, I don't have Internet where I live so tether is all I get it blows I'm also comparing to my wife's nexus 6 and my s 5 which both never dropped at this rate.
I get as good battery life as my N6, which is not as much as I'd like, but it's good enough. It's 2 and I've only dropped my phone on wireless charging for a few mins, and it's at 74%.

so any way to fix it?
no other mod installed?
possible a hardware defect..
and if it is a hardware defect then there would be no other choice but to check if it still has warranty..
btw, how old is your nexus 6?

You may not fully understand the issue.
I encountered it myself on my N5. The wifi/bt chip died. In doing so, it seemed to be stuck in some sort of loop where it consumed battery very quickly (despite being non functional). This occurred for me, even when the phone was turned off, which I assume is OP's issue as well.
There is no fix for it as far as I know, I even attempted to bake my motherboard with the wifi/bt chip exposed as a final solution since I was out of warranty. No go. This isn't an unheard of issue either.

And the heat I experienced came exclusively from that chip and not the CPU. Checked with a laser thermometer as well.
I tried baking my laptop's motherboard when its video chip went on the fritz. It didn't work, but a heat gun did. So, if you baked the board in an oven you didn't give it sufficient heat for the solder to melt. The heat gun generates the heat needed and directs it in one spot, similar to a solder reflow workstation.
Of course this talk about solder reflowing is off the topic about the chip itself being bad.
