Overheating/Not Charging while on charger?
amazinggrayce84

I had my Droid X on the charger last night and walked away fro about a half hour while it charged.  When I came back to it, the phone was almost too hot for me to pick up and hadn't charged at all.  Actually, the battery went from about 50% to 20% even though it was on the charger.  I unplugged it and turned it off for a few hours while it cooled down, but now I'm afraid to plug it back in.  Any thoughts as to why this happened or if it's safe for me to plug back in?

 

Thanks!

How long have you had the phone?  It almost sounds more like you have something "active" that is causing the heat, but who knows?  Like was GPS or WiFi Active during the charge? Doing any big downloads during the charge? You're using the stock charging device that came with the phone, right?

 

Maybe start by removing the battery for 30 seconds and reinstall it and give it a fresh boot up. Plug it in and see if it starts charging.

 

if this is a new phone and you can reproduce it, I'd take it to Verizon and show them and have it replaced with another NEW phone (if < 30 days old).

Cody21, it's <14 days now, unfortunately. Two weeks to try a phone instead of roughly a month. That stinks.

Well Least we get 14 days.  they could scratch there heads an change it again to even a shoter time. Alltel customers might remember when alltel had a 15 day return so this is'nt new to me.  but if there changing all of this because of one phone witch i heard or the rumore going around. i think they could've chose another path to Take. But i not the wearing a silk line suite an smokin a big Seagar!!!  an calling the shots.  I geuss one other good thing out of this.  Joe or what ever his name is back telling us about  the great Verizon sevice. Yee Ha.!  :smileyvery-happy:........
