Can someone make Kernel/Mod with disabled overheat protection? Will donate.

[Deathwinng]

Hello,
recently I bought LG G Watch R and after updating to Marshmallow the watch started turning off randomly, and was unable to boot to the system without being on the cradle. I've read a lot about it on the internet and tried all sorts of solutions, but without success. Then I found that my temperature sensor is giving wrong data. My watch is idling at 50 - 55C and when put on cradle temperature immediately drops to 40 - 45C (overheat protection turns it off at 60C). So is there a way to turn off overheat protection or change the temerature the sensor is reporting with Kernel/Mod? I'll be glad to donate if someone is to make such thing.

Also excuse my mistakes, I'm not an English speaker.

Cheers.

Have you ever found out a solution? I think the most common thing to do is to buy a new battery, but I ordered one from China so it's going to take a while until it arrives and I'm hoping to try to improve the condition of my current battery a little.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet. I was about to do the same thing as you, and buy a new battery, but then I read a post on reddit about a guy with exactly the same problem as me, who bought a new battery and the result were disappointing.
Do you have exactly the same issue as me? Because I've read about people's watches shutting off but not because of wrong readings of the temp sensor, but rather battery issues.
When you receive the new battery be sure to update me on the situation.
Thanks!

To be honest I didn't check the battery temperatures. Did you use an app to do so, or adb? I will check and let you know... it might indeed be more battery related than temperature.

I had exactly the same issue.

When my g watch r was charging on the cradle it worked flawlessly. When I removed it from charging it turned off randomly, sometimes it managed to boot and stay on even for hours, but most of the time it turned off instantly.

I thought the problem was either on the battery or on the power regulation ic, I didn't think about temperatures.
So last week I've bought a new battery, replaced it, and tada! The problem was the battery indeed!

The smartwatch is running perfectly now, apart from the bugs and the errors of aw2.0

For temp check I'm using app called System Info For Android Wear. You can check your temps to be shure.

I'll try Wear 2.0 and if the problem persist (most definetely will) I'm going to try with new battery. The problem with new battery however, is availability and ridiculously high shiping taxes here in Europe.

I know this is old now but has anyone solved this issue?
I've replaced my battery yesterday but the problem persists. The temperature floats around 50C and it rises to 60 quickly and shuts off if i do anything. Please share if you have a solution. Thank you.

I'm facing the same issue, battery has been changed but still getting hot and shutting down... If anybody knows a solution !

I have the same issue. I replaced the battery, even downgraded from 2.0, but the watch still frequently shuts off. I was able to get it to work for a good while by putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before powering it on.

Edit: its as if the cpu temp sensor has lost calibration, but since the freezer trick works, what about a mod that would move the shutoff threshold a few tens of degrees up?

 

[fairchild24r]

same for me, it works after having spent few minutes in the freezer and then shuts off

The same thing happened to me, I changed the battery and the problem is still happening.

something new?

This just started happening on my G Watch R as well. Sometimes the heat generated from my wrist is enough to cause the watch to shutdown or reboot from overheating. If it isn't a failing battery, as some of you have noted through a battery replacement, then what could it be?

I had exactly the same symptoms.. but not any more.. after I changed the battery1.5 months ago.. No power off since then...

no idea what else could it be.. maybe some app actuality coursing overheating.. ?? But mine sometimes just died in between of factory reset.. so in cant be custom app..
