i havebeen using my phone for the last couple of hours to listen to music and do a bit of surfing whilst bored at work ... the temp has got upto 44 degree's , its not plugged in charging .... is this normal ??
the heat seems to come from the bottom of the phone .....
ive had some hot phones but this is ridiculous - htc really need to sort this before our phones ... excuse the pun burn out !
what temps have your phones got to ?? is 44 degree's ok or is it too high
i dont want to turn the phone screen off every time i use it for a while just to cool the damn thing down.
What phone are you using. I have n HD7 that gets really hot. I mean really if it wasn't for the development on HTC devices no one would be buying them. The build quality is poor from the processor to the display to the housing. That's why Samsung is a trusted manufacturer but lacks development its truly their only flaw.

dude he is clearly using a htc sensation i mean he is in the sensation forum from your response do you even have a sensation and yes its normal for awhile but it stops eventually
I use" Battery Indicator " app and i chill usually at 32-34C.. just played one level of plants vs zombies and im at 42C kinda ridic if u ask me i usually put it down at 41C or beyond to let it cool down
Yep using sensation - the heat is crazy .... ill try the app
how long do i have to put up with this heat before it settles ???
the temp doesnt seem to come from the battery as it radiates at the bottom
i cant believe htc released a phone which causes so much heat - will a firmware release sort it ?? i wonder

When i'm using wifi, or music via bluetooth, the phone overheats on bottom..
BUt relax i think it's normal, is a dual core phone, my Galaxy SII have the same problem but arround the camera, and the screen gets really hot to...
I can't say what of the two gets hot.

Cool it man I'm using the xda app for android and it doesn't exactly tell you where you are unless you navigate there yourself. Also don't ask me why and how I got here I just saw an interesting topic an decided to add my 2 sense. Had a sensation and it crapped out on me within 3 hours. Got a second one same thing after 3 days it crapped out to.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
well today mine got up to 44 but that was my fault. i always take the case off when charging it and i forgot to do it. also i was using it during this.
the case reduces heat dissipation. as soon as took off the case it went down to 38.
so i recommend that if you have a case on your phone and you see or feel that is getting too hot, take off the case.
I wouldn't want to say it's normal however I've had at least 3 sensations that were hitting around 43 to 45deg C just on battery while using Google Maps or browsing the web. The reps (all three working at the time) in the store found it strange that the phone was getting so hot just to the touch.
May have to underclock our devices like the iPhone. shouldn't be much of a difference considering it has a dual core processor right?

The most important isnt the Frequency, the most important is the voltage in the processor...
On SGSII, you have practically the same voltage at 1.2Ghz than 1Ghz or 800Mhz...
So i think is the same on Sensation... lower voltages, or you never get decent temperatures.
Am I being to simple here or is it just the fact so much tech is in the handsets now that it will obviously get hot? I would of thought this is the norm for phones nowadays and without sticking a fan on the back there is nothing that can be done?
Can we compare this to a PC? What temp do processors run at on a PC, and is there a limit before they lag or fail?

You cannot compare a smartphone to a PC, due the pc have an active cooling, and an smartphone have a passive one...
So, the smartphone will get more hot than a PC.
This temps are good, but think this components are more delicated than a pc, so the temperature isn't good for her life.
Played 15min of asphalt hd and the phone got very hot. I took off the back cover off to investigate and noticed the microsd is located at the bottom of the phone. The microsd was untouchable. Hope the device heat will not damage it.
All HTC devices have inbuilt thermal protection. If the phone gets too hot it will shutdown and/or reboot.

Mine got up to 52C while outside using the GPS Saturday.
i think the highest mine has got is around 115deg. (around 46C). this is rediculous i think since it only happens when i play a game for like 20 min..browsing the web reaches around 107 sometimes. but im past my 2 week remorse period so i cant return/exchange the phone at t-mobile, dont know what to do since some ppl say this is normal for being a dual core and wut not, but then not everyone has these overheating issues

Hello, I got a new HTC sensation a few days ago and I've noticed an odd problem with my screen. I've heard of the overheating battery, but for me that isn't the problem. Oddly enough the only thing that overheats is the actual touchscreen, mainly the bottom portion with the haptic feedback buttons. The screen only overheats if the phone is in use for a period of time, but if it's sleeping then it stays cool. I just wanted to know if this is common and if I should be concerned with it.

Phew, glad I'm not the only one. I'm just worried if it might damage the circuitry inside since the screen can get pretty hot.
I got the sensation yesterday. Was dissapointed at how fast it heats up there. but I have to say, compared to my g1 and n1 it cools down reaaallyyy fast!
The dual core cpu is behind there, thats why

For me the issue of screen was never there, it only appeared yesterday (its been more than a month since i bought my sensation). Yesterday i was playing a game and the battery was at 8 % so i plugged the charger and kept playing for another 15 minutes. When i exited the game and then after 5 minutes i checked i found that screen's bottom portion was heated up and not working properly. Launching other applications and doing weird stuff. I checked the temperature and it was at 40, i let it cool down and when temperature reached 37, the screen has become less hot and it started working properly and is fine since then.
The only thing that i m worried abt is if that heating might have caused some permanent damage to screen.
Have any of you owned an android device before? Pretty much all of the ones i have had heat up ESPECIALLY When connected to wifi,charging and playing games.~Only difference is this one has more than TWICE THE POWER of any of my old devices, i would worry if it didnt get hot.Just my 2 cents

I have owned a fair few phones and had every android t-mobiles released in my hand for at least 48 hours and non show heat problems like some of these devices.. i think when the undervolting is done and a scalling the problem is decreased.. But my first sensation died while on charge and was stupidly hot round the touch buttons.. My second sensation hardly gets hot but is now awaiting UPS to take it in for a power button repair..
The architecture of the chip and the expected heat output should not cause the other components of the phone or the chip die to critically fail.. These are the first generation dual core cpu's and I am sure they will learn by the mistakes made with having the ariel's etc in the wrong places.. shame we have to be guinea pigs.. Will be good to see if they have took notice and the XE doesnt suffer some of the issues..
the back cover issue has certainly beeen attempted to be address'd they have 3 revisions of it out so far...

The evo3d surely isnt a better device. lag and speed drops all the way, everywhere. even pinch to zoom in the browser lags...and i need to wait everywhere...even wait 1 - 2 secs before the keyboards pops up.
And it didnt sync my emails properly.
Wanted to buy the galaxy s2 but well....i DID love the evo 3d's 3d screen. its nicer then on the o3d because resolution, but that means its not far off.
Glad I've visited from s2 section was gonna go from s2 to optimus 3d it looks superb on reviews on you tube but is it as good as they make out, I like to be up to date on my smart phones but might stick with s2 what do you users think.?

Hi mate.You really seem to have problems with your O3D. Have had mine for more than 1 month and its incredible. I had a SGS2 before and i just can't miss anything from that.I made my own custom ROM (you should do that too) and it works amazing, fast and stable.I have all Gameloft 3D games and they work just better in 3D than in the SGS2 in 2D wich needed its GPU to be locked at max to get descent FPS.In my opinion the LG O3D is the only phone out there that i could say "WOWWW" after playing with.Battery life is really bad i agree, but have you tried the other dual core phones ? they are pretty terrible as well. We gonna get GB soon and im pretty sure that the phone is gonna get a lot better, FROYO dont work properly on dual core devices.As soon as we get GB Im gonna start developing again, dont want to waste time with Froyo.
No regrets what so ever,its so super fast,no lag at all...love it !!!

Haven't noticed any major bugs with the phone, sure the software is far from the best but not that bad IMO and LG have released patches.
As for Custom ROMs, really what do people think? the phone is extremely new, released like 2 months ago and not even out in the US yet, CM is under development, going pretty fast but it still takes time, it's not like they can just pull it out of a hat, it takes hard work and many hours, in this case given by Ricardo who does this on his free time and not only for the O3D but other hardware as well, expecting a massive amount of CustomROMs within 2 months seems a bit ... After CM is released you'll probably see much more custom ROMs appearing.
Battery life is low yes (not really a surprise if you'd read anything about the phone before getting it) , much because of the screen but also because of unoptimized code because of new hardware etc. will hopefully get better with new software releases or you could get another battery or portable charger. (Running 3D actually doesn't require that much more battery then running the screen normally, it's the brightness and the screen tech that needs a fair amount of power).
If you could be more specific with what problems you have exactly people might be able to help you, just screaming bloody murder wont help much.
For ex.
What apps aren't working properly? And how aren't they working?
What are you doing when you have to reboot the phone to get it to work?
Got any custom apps like a custom lockscreen like agile lock or a custom home app?
Have you tried any battery saving apps?
Also if you haven't had problems like this before with a Smart phone you are either very lucky or you've never bought a extremely new smart phone, all new releases got a few problems here and there, the worst problems usually get sorted about 6 months after first release, compared to my other phones this one has had surprisingly few major issues for being a new phone and that's even more impressive when you realise that it's a new chipset for phones.
I had an HD2 with CM7 when this phone arrived (so I'm not a newbie here). It's for testing 'cause iPhone 4 is a bit expensive so where I work are in search of a good high end working phone.
The O3D has all the requisites out of the box but one: battery. I had it in a construction area and it barely reached 10 hours of normal use plus some gps.
About the hangs and apps that don't work... I only had a problem with Tasker, and it seems it was my problem and not the phone.
IMHO it's a good phone. Maybe your unit was defective?

Someone tell what or who GB is or il open a topic lol...
I do regret it at moment, having come from a galaxy s with custom roms and absolute crazy battery life..at moment I'd swap it for a galaxy II..BUT am waiting for the october update and more custom roms, so it's still early days for this phone so gonna stick with it as slowly it seems to be moving forward...
@borgqueen the gb they are refering to is gingerbread
Lol I guess I created the topic on a weak moment. But seriously I hate sometimes this fon. Although I got a battery pack with higher capacity the battery dies prematurely. And no I didn't try any other dual core fones but heard that the galaxy 2 has much better battery life.
And I did had the newest smartphones such as htc desire etc.
So be more specific my issues are
1. YouTube player is acting out sometimes and if I fastforward then there seems to be weird color distortion
2. Can't change the bloody user agent in dolphin browser (might be the browser tough heard some fons have this bug) and also sometimes dolphin browser isn't reacting at all or any other browser until I reboot the fone? So definitely not browser related
3. Watching online flash content is a nightmare and this could be froyo related as on any gb fon I tried there where no issues non so ever .
4. Battery life is horrendous
5. Battery life is horrendous
6. Fon doesn't react some times at all and i have to force reboot
I think the fon has great potential but the software is so not in tune with the fon. So as I said I really hope GB will solve some issues here.
By the way I really don't want to offend anyone but it's just my opinion on things so don't fanboy me )

Dual core phone actually require less battery than single core, but the difference is not that big, SGS2 has a Super AMOLED+ screen and a little bit more power in the battery = more time on a charge. (but from what I've heard they also have some problems with some units magically draining like 30% of battery in mere minutes, only hear say for me though so don't quote me on that)
Haven't watched that much Youtube on the phone but seems more like a network or app problem than the phone?
Sure that Dophin browser don't have a problem with the phone and are affecting other browsers? I've used FF and Original, actually like the Original best and I've not experienced that the browser stopped responding, some apps that are not working correctly can affect other apps, Agile Lock for some reason killed my SIM unlock app and made it almost impossible to use the phone, removed it and haven't had any problem with the SIM card after that.
Nightmare in what way? Laggy?
Battery life is pretty bad, true, not much you can do about it, use a lower brightness on your screen, try out CPU tuner and limit the phone, I've actually got my phone running MAX 600Mhz instead of 1Ghz, gives me about an hour of extra active usage and haven't found anything that really suffers because of the slower speed. Hopefully software updates will help the battery life, my old Hero had like 6hours usage when I first got it, when I retired it that was up to 24-48hours. Also if you need it, check out portable charger on Ebay, I got mine for ~$30 from Hong Kong, 5000mAh just plug in and charge via USB, with the 5V 1A output it fully recharges my phone from 0-100% in just under 3 hours and with the extra mAh you got like 2days away from the outlet, not ideal but works
Or get the 3500mAh battery if you prefer that.
Is it in sleep mode it stops reacting? That's some software glitch that LG has in their 2.2 release, only seems to affect some people noticeably, LG O2X has the same glitch and a nightly not to long ago for CM7 on the O2X reproduced the problem from what I've read.
Or is it while using it that it just stops responding?
I'll try now few other roms out there. No the fon freezes while using the fon actively. I got the problem with sleep too. Anyways there is no way other than wait for a proper cm7 release. Guess is not that far away, no

I am back on a GS2 and it smokes this phone totally, still have the O3D but I don't use it now, i have come to the conclusion even with the 3D it doesn't make it a good choice over the GS2 its just better in every way.
Hmm i dont regret at all having this phone i had iphone 4 before optimus 3d and i have to say its the best phone i ever have had in all ways...but yeah the battery are a little problem my tip for that take down the quick meny and turn off all data settings like wifi 3g bluetooth after turned off all those settings the battery have lasted for about 2 days and i still have power on it...so no the battery are not the biggest problem here if you do that! and like alot reviews are saying android is leeching data alot therfor it use power turn those off to save battery
This phone is awesome. Anyone who regrets buying it has problems with "grass is greener syndrome" which no amount of coding and tweaking can solve.
The problem is not with the phone. The problem is with your lack of patience and understanding of what is realistic performance and developer support of a brand new device.
Chill out, smoke em if you got em. Most of us will have this phone for a year minimum so there will be plenty of software improvements from both LG and the dev community during that time. LG have already updated like three times. My motorola milestone didnt even get three updates in ITS ENTIRE LIFESPAN.
Be appreciative of what you have.

I totally agree this phone is great. I've only been using it since Saturday, but I'm extremely impressed. It's speedy, responsive. I'm digging 3D photos and gaming. The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy and not cheap or too plasticky.
As with all phones, there are drawbacks like the battery life, but it's by no means a deal-breaker. It's also relatively easy to improve (Juice Defender, reduced screen brightness, etc.). Also, if I try to open too many games at once it may freeze on occasion, but all of the 3D games are very hardcore, resource-intensive applications so any phone will freak if you push it too far.
I couldn't be happier with it.
A few days ago I noticed my Sensation (stock ROM, Anker battery) heating up whenever I use the phone (for browsing, SMS, games, etc).
It's the lower part of the phone, especially the front where the touch buttons are. Sometimes it gets very hot, though never sufficiently hot to feel like my hand is burning.
I've checked the battery manually and it is cold, so it's not the battery. The screen is normal temperature also.
Anyone else notice something similar? Anyone know of possible cause?
Yeap I have the same trouble... Mainly it's get hot after 15 20 min countinues use...

I really dont think it can be resolved with undervolting etc on any kernel, pretty sure its a hardware design flaw.. my first sensation died on charge over night as stock... I had reported it about getting hot while sitting in my pocket.. the wonderful HTC rep said uninstall all apps.. the day it died it was stock and had no installed apps.. prior to that, looking at the logcat seemed to be pretty uneventful... top command showed nothing unusual cpu wise since getting my new main board it got hot once... when i ran cf bench with mikes rev rom... apart from that its perfect.
unless.... the new dual core kernels are stopping a part of the cpu die getting hot due to both cores being implemented correctly... I could go back to stock and see but thats not fun

CPU + Radio + wifi + GPS = heat. The more you use the faster it heats up and hotter it gets. The CPU is in the front bottom.
The Anker has a bogus temp sensor, so the phone won't report battery temp correctly.

My quad core PC can, CPU temp increased by 6C to 42C when the fan died over the summer during a mini heatwave, which I thought was pretty impressive
Sensation is currently running at 43C having been charging and using wifi at max range.
haha imagine a first gen p4 running without a heatsink and fan, fried eggs anyone?
but on a more serious note they had to replace the main board on mine.... so even if this is is normal.. the phone should never fail due to this... and i know intel have had some issues with the architecture over the years and recalled some cpu's that melt... ya never know
Overheating
So I put my OEM battery back in my Sensation last night and I was still noticing the bottom of the screen get hot to the touch.
I checked the battery temp and it was 39.1c this felt hot in my hand and all I doing was browsing the web on 3G. I have emailed HTC support to see if this is normal but I have a feeling it maybe judging by all the posts on various forums about the sensation overheating.
I have also notice the same issue this morning whilst sending a long sms with not data connected the battery temp was reported 36.8c.
Should I be concerned about this?
Thanks
Nik
It is normal.
But every machine degrades coz of heat over a period of time.
Changing ROM can helps, I can feel the temperature difference.
Custom ROMs really helps, but you still get hot phone if you play your game over half an hour. I don't believe someone can play a game over 45 minutes, the battery could die by then.
Oh, dun let the battery completely die tough.
Thanks for the reply, it sets my mind at ease a bit.
I post the reply from HTC if I get one.

Hi Guys
Well I got a reply from HTC this morning and it seems the phone shouldn't be getting this hot. They have asked me to send it to them for repairs.
Dear nNik xxxxxxx
Thank you for your email regarding your HTC Sensation.
we can arrange for your phone to be repaired. We provide this service for our customers through our Repair Centre in the UK. Please read the following instructions carefully.
We can arrange for UPS to collect your device from any address in the UK, Ireland or any other EU country, from Monday to Friday, 13:00 to 17:00 except weekends and public holidays.
The current time-scale for the repair is 10 working days from when it arrives at the HTC Repair Centre.
If the fault is found not to be covered by the warranty then the repair will be chargeable and a quotation for the full cost of the repair will be emailed to you. Should you choose not to go ahead with the quote; a £20 fee (approx) will be charged for the return of the device in an un-repaired state. This covers the shipping, evaluation, testing of the handset and VAT. If you choose not to pay the quotation then the device will be disposed of after 30 days.
Physical damage and Wear & Tear in the device is not covered under the warranty, and the repair centre may decide that the repair will be chargeable if damage is found.
If evidence of water damage or liquid ingress is discovered then the device will not be repaired. We can either return the phone to you un-repaired (at no charge to yourself) or we can dispose of it for you.

stock s-on and send it back...
I came with an issue in my Sensation XE and I want everyone to share their experience.
Ok, here is the story: my phone gets warm pretty easily, the most heat is produced on the lower right corner, exactly where the memory card is. It scares me since I can feel the heat on the screen too, and the lower part of the screen is literally hot when I'm using the phone. I'm thinking of sending it to a repair center, but before doing so I want your experience with your phone.
Please note the lower right is my hot spot! Your comments are most welcomed.

Hello
I too have a heat problem with my sensation, but not in the same spot.
Mine gets abnormally hot sometimes around the middle on the back of the phone, and over time spreads out over a good portion of the back cover.

Can you please tell me if you feel the heat on the screen too? Is it an XE?

My phone also gets hot in the exact same area.
As far as I know this is not a problem with the phone, but just arises from regular use.

What I had before is that I have network location base turned off but GPS turned off. Some apps wanted to check location but couldn't because I was inside ad the GPS was heating off. I uninstalled that app and it stopped happening. But no matter what, you should check which apps are on a lot...
I have that problem too, mine's a normal Sensation.
I've lifted the back off, held one of my fingers on the metallic memory card holder, and it was hot hot hot!
Also the same prob. After ICS update my Sensation heats up too much at the bottom. The same temperature at the back cover and on the display. Very hot! I am not really sure if it is normal, but the only thing that crosses my mind is the second core.

You are not alone:

Don't worry, its fine. It's because the Sensation is a real Powerhouse. I am also lucky enough to own a S2, and that also heats up with usage.
The GPS and Gaming will dramatically make the device hotter.
Keep an eye on the temperature using a monitoring App, and if it's of concern to you,then give HTC a call.
The link above mentions that an alternative battery may help. But I wouldn't worry too much.

Cheers.
GPS, Wifi Tethering, Games with GPU rendering, large I/O operations all cause large heatups. Try refrain from using the modules/ activities or change ROM to see if it makes a difference!
Same device, same issue. Interestingly, mine did not start heating up until I swapped the battery one afternoon while on the go. My phone got the ICS update 3 weeks ago, still the same.
Since ICS, I havent had the need to swap out the battery as I have experienced much better battery life but it still gets hit, all lower part of the phone, front and back, screen also.
*I did call HTC to report it, my phone is still under warrenty and so they were willing to repair it, with one caveat... You're out a phone for a week or two. I havent yet gone trough the repair as I am pretty close to purchasing a new phone (international One X or T MoUSA One S) but may do so once I have my new toy in hand.
Friend just called me few minutes ago and now I'm still on the phone it's been like 10 minutes and now my phone is starting to get very hot warm.
Should I get worried?
Yes

Any tips then?
Or should I go to the store and exchange it?
Curiously, were you holding it in your left hand during the call?

Mine gets hot too. It happens during a call, using GPS, and playing graphically intensive games. I think the unibody design has some part in causing the heat issues.
The phone does cool down pretty quickly after finishing one of the activities mentioned above.

No games. Nothing else before, just regular browsing. No GPS either and it was right hand and right ear.

My phone gets a little hot and I always use my left hand to talk -- is there something about holding the phone in the left hand?
Well, oddly might be, I think there could be a little signal death grip happening.
I know I can choke out my WiFi using phone in left hand an cause it to warm up.
Though it might not be the issue here, just an out there idea and thought of mine.
Other oddity I have noticed, every day about 2pm until 5ish, it runs way hotter.
I have written that off as poor signal due to schools letting out and sudden increase of bandwidth Usage by younger users.

Posting threads in the correct section will prevent your phone from overheating ...well, maybe not, but it will prevent further action on my part.
Thread Moved.
