    Charging

    few days ago I placed my meizu on charger... And noticed that it got very hot after about 15minutes... Then over day it charged without this phenomena, and today it became very hot... Maybe someone know why its getting hot? And why not always? Battery temp. goes up to 45Celsius... So thats not very good I suppose. Tried to change cable, charging head, tryed to charge through usb port with my notebook...

    Leave the battery out of your M8 for a while and reinstall the latest firmware (0.9.9.16)

    keep us posted.
    but errrr it´s your m8 or charger that gets hot?
    (isn´t clear to me)

    it sounds to me that something is broken;
    or the charger or the battery... does it runs flat fast?

    I think i have read somewhere (in general) that a defect charging electronic can do that.

    I am quite shure that Temperatures above 40°C are not normal, 30 maybe.
    Maybe some part is in the process of failing.
    Did you try to change the batterys?

    And then again maybe you did somethng very power consuming while charging?

    Probally the problem can be with your charger, are sending a higher charge than your baterry need, try to charge in your pc with the cable only. If still get hot, use a multimeter to see the voltage of baterry if are right...
    You can replace the battery too, if the problem don't are with the charger.
