I ALWAYS test my new HTC devices by putting them in my owen, if it passes that test then you are good to go!
Seriously, I have not checked the manual but it should say something about max and min operating and store temperature!
If the display still looks good, then you are OK.
The internal electronics can take up to a specified 45C but will even handle 60C at a push.
The least temperature sensitive section is the LCD. Ever seen one die left out in the sun?
Rule of thumb is...If the LCD is OK or the case plastic hasn't melted then you are not the dumb Sh^t you thought you were for not taking care of your expensive electronics...
I learned in my Climate Control class (yeah, 3 weeks all about automotive a/c, lame) that the inside of your car can reach 155+ on a 95F day sitting in the sun. I'm sure HTC plans for situations like a phone being left in the car, as all GPS and radar detector manufacturers do. So unless you think it reached 160ish, I wouldn't be too concerned.
If you find yourself dialling for an ambulance with your charred appendages, then your phone is too hot. Unless you can dial for the ambulance using your TouchPro, in which case you can assume it's fine.
The maximum operating temperature of the device is 60 Celsius (140F).
Heat is generated by current flow, so the faster the battery drains (or charges), the hotter the device will get. In particular, the more data you transmit and the faster you transmit it, the more power you drain, and the more heat the phone will generate.

Hey Yeah, I live in Abu Dhabi and in direct sunlight, surface temperatures can reach 85C (185F in your currency) and within a car that is magnified by the glass and the confined space...
Always amazes me that my nuts don't puff into popcorn!!!

Don't believe the hype on Dubai pal. Its just one big building site with permanent dust in the air.
Come to the capital of the UAE, ABU Dhabi...Got two spare rooms here and know all the best watering holes...

good point...
but this is the only option in Dubai, at least till sun goes down.
anyway they realized this from the beginning so they've put everything inside, you virtually have little to do outside

Yep, very nice Ski slope/village in the Emirates Mall in Dubai.
They are building one here in Abu Dhabi in the Marina Mall but its only about 1/8th the size. We expect a rash of broken noses as they hit the bottom wall.
people please stay ontopic!
I'm sure Dubai & Abu Dhabi are quite nice and the weather is nice and warm,
but this no longer has anything to do with the original post
if you want to talk about vacation/weather, please create a topic in the General part.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4235272/Young-dad-burned-by-his-mobile-phone.html
interesting article, can see he had the white back as well
actually mine sometimes go through some massive heating phase and only way is to power off.
Almsot like something in the background kicks off!
Not quite burnt yet!
never happened to me.
Felt mine getting really hot in pocket before now. Have taken it out and found it has somehow unlocked and has the camera running with the screen on.
Wow that burn looks sooooo painful....not. are u kidding me? while i am not saying that is crazy that his phone burst into flames, they are blowing it way out of proportion. that burn looks no bigger than the size of a bottle cap, and its only a first degree burn. put a band aid on that scrape and your as good as new...
woosie...
all im am saying is bad look to him when they find out he rooted and booted his senny and thats why it blew up in his poket, my mate has one and his is not rooted or out totaly stock we compaired ours mine on arhd and overclocked to 1.5ghz mine got a lot hoter playing the same game NFS so cant see it been their fault.

I would totally blow it out of proportion if my PHONE burst into FLAMES! Even if it left me with just a scratch.
But I would like to know why it heated up like that. Seems insane :what:

The phone is underclocked to prevent heat gain and save battery - what did you expect. Mine is no hotter before or after root. Trust me, when I first bought it, I believed my phone was a defective unit due to it's heat.

Yeah, really. Put on your big boy pants and move on with your life.
Yeah, HTC should probably give you a brand new phone (or 3) or your choice for your troubles but suing them seems a little opportunistic. I mean you got a little boo boo. It's not like you lost your leg.
If it's too hot to handle, then get out of the kitchen!
Ok guys,reading all abouth your posts and all and after around a month of deciding which phone to buy for ideal size not like one x or s3
which are pricy like some good PC or smtg like that this phone just showed very nice with battery and all,
made me go away from sony xs (big-thinker than 1s),sony xp smaller battery and dont wanna get s2 cos its kinda old and all.
1s best allrounder,battery which is very important for me,I wanted to ask u a for me very interesting question..
As I used HD2 when it came around for a year and had to like,wear a charger almost with me cos using it very often,
sometimes to chat for like hours which was draining battery very fast...
But Im curious is this phone better or what ?Cos I send like hmm 100,200sms per day around...So that kinda uses screen allot.
And dont wanna buy phone to use it brighness like hard to see letters at all,why would I harm my eyes :S?I cant buy that :/...So what u think if every 30mins or smtg my screen will go up for 30secs or smtg than after again in 15 or smtg and continuos work" on it will it drain fast?
or I can count to survive a day or smtg?atm using some crapy phone with small screen samsung [email protected] 322,which can last for like days,2,3,4 depends but I fforget to see how many days it can survive so it has to be much.
And hd2 when I had it it was like on 8am full charge,at 16h or earlier or smtg again :/ if I go more on it(true I didnt update rom or do smtg abt battery like from this forums I saw,tought itll go well like that etc etc) so what u think?
will it survive a day with smsing that much?dont wanna buy nokia e6 with idiotic simbian to last it a week without charge..
for some wifi gps some gays maybe sometimes and stuff like that?but that way using all that to get hard stand for 1 day would be good?what u say?and how long can it survive for just texting ,just only just texting with like 50% default brightness or smtg like that ?
And also,had HD2,which I shattered screen twice...realy shame,had it for a year and was all good than droped from a less than 1m high seems right to screen and it was shattered a bit,but when got it repaired
,screen wasnt fiting best in...So I droped it once again :/ and ...screen was shattered like in drop test videos...that was like 300e repair,u do know how much that **** is..... ...could buy another phone ....
and now decided for one s,but affraid its not durable EVEN with case?
Im interested,that some ppl that got it WITH case what can u say when u droped ?and what if I drop it directly on screen?I can say goodbye?
Or just to move to e6 nokia and use stupid dead os symbian and be happy with battery of it....
and durability(cos smaller screen,less chance to shatter) so?cant wait to see your responses
thank you sincerely
The battery is amazing ill post a screen shot of right bleow. Left the phone display on for the better half of today. As far as durability goes I never dropped mine. My gf on the other hand was walking down the steps (concrete) in front of her house, turned back to get something from the house as I was locking the door. Her foot hooked the top step and she hit the floor. She had her phone in her hand and had to release it to break her fall with her hand as the other one was carrying her lunch. All I remember was that it landed face down and it was without a doubt the ugliest slap I ever heard. I remember their wasn't even a bounce. Just a slap and a skid. She and I both have zaggs and d30 cases. I thought it was a goner.... *sigh* but to much surprise after it coming down face first with some speed behind it it was perfectly fine. Not sure if it was the gorilla glass, case, screen protector or all 3 but its still alive and kicking without a scratch on it. You won't be dissapointed!

Next is how much % in brighness u put screen on and are u made it dimmed all the time :S?To have that good result ?or fully normal around 50% normal to watch not dimed or anything like that to survive more?:O

Sorry forgot to post tasks. But this was daily use. Texted, a few pic messages, playing little empire, web browsing, using flipboard and xda. The screen is pretty dim as I use my phone indoors most of the time anyway. Using trickdroid tmous 3.0 with tweaks.

I unlocked bootloader and rooted the day I got it. Used trickdroids and ledroids Roms so far. My gf is using blackdragon 5.0. All three are very excellent as far as stability and DD use. Trickdroid seems to be giving me the best battery life regardless of the placebo affect
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
I'm positive it will last that long or longer as I had my screen on all day. If I turned it off it would go much further. You may get similar results with leaving it on 50% and letting it sleep periodically. I posted a screen in torxx's EU trickdroid rom with a day and 6 hrs use. That was a normal work day. 13 hr shift and 3 one hr breaks in-between those 13 hrs. Zaggs are called 'invisishield" and they ate somewhat self healing. The d30 cases and the shields I got when I got the phones from T-Mobile. Check their website or the MP. You'll find them!
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
no way this thing will go beyond 5 hours of screen time with normal use, custom rom or not.
And that's not a typo, I used trickdroids EU rom on a tmous phone before he had the tmous thread. I posted pics of that as well. Very solid phone and very solid devs behind it!!! Only thing we need now is the source code. I'm positive it will shine along side the s3 when that drops.

Im not here to bullsh*t people. I'm not a dev or HTC spokesman. People ask whats going on with someone who uses the phone and what they are doing with it. I just post my experience and results. Take away from it what you want. So many people talk about the batt life. I wonder why....

Thanks allot mate,thanks for your answer and info,can u tell me where are u from ?Cos Im from Serbia and erm how could I buy case and screen protector from tmobile :S cos cant even google it :/ in here :S probably dont exist here..and case looks wonderfull saw some tests,now heard u and very interested in it,cos I can pay even like 100euro's more just to make phone more durable..but that doesnt mean to have it looking like **** like I saw some cases which make from phone old days gps devices like 20mm,25.. thick and stuff.....
So how could I get it anyway?Cos without getting it :/ no way getting phone,as what I saw how screens are easily broken....Im not that alone anymore...with my breaking...Seems ppl realy struggle with it :/...Damn cant wait to post on htc forum or other manufacturer for their workers to answer me,did they ever happened to have phone droped and what happened...In factory and stuff and HOW THE **** they let those phone leave factories and be like hey very durable phone...come on those older phones can survive ****load of heavy dmging....even directly to the screen ......
So how could I get it :S?
And mate :S there is htc one s case in USA right :S?And in EU :S?
Yeah their are slight differences in phone bodies between EU and us. I live in us. Try amazon, eBay, or their official websites for the case and screen protector. Or try the marketplace on xda. Someone should have either one and happily ship to you. You will probably have to front the money first since you don't have very much rep on here.

Thanks allot,Ive got uncle in Italy,mailed him to see if he can buy me 1 at he's place or anywhere there,cool and thanks allot for info(btw rooting and changing roms kinda aint anything special hard?And how stable they are hmm?)
Just follow step by step instructions. If you don't know what you're doing or run into a term you don't understand, Google it. YouTube will walk you through it. That's what helped me get out of bootlooping on my g1! If you try all that,and it doesn't work, then try again. If that fails and you think you tried everything give a quick comment of what's going on and what you did with the rom you're using. Do not spam dev threads with stuff that has been beaten to death and explained time and time again. Read their first page over and over and over again. Then try it. If that doesn't work wipe away and start all over again. Hope you like your phone mate!!!

Dude you have crazy good battery life. I only get 2-3 hour screen usage amper charge
Does your carrier use a DC-HSPA+(UMTS, with dual carrier HSPA+) in the cell network, because a "4G" is shown in the screen capture. However MSM8260A doesn't support LTE, the only choice for 4G left is DC-HSPA+.
Btw, did you spend the 8 hours watching video?

Its tmous U.S. The "H" network or 3.5 "4g" or whatever they want to call it. I did leave it on and sit just to test out the batt and current set up I'm using. I used the phone when I needed to. No vids just textes (between 30-50 normal use), pic messages, web browsing, flipboard, gaming buzz widget, and I hotspotted for like 15 mins to download some apps to my hd2 from the marketplace. No calls either, but then again who uses their for phone for phone calls

So its been about 2 days so far and the phone is awesome....BUT....not too impressed on the plastic material design.
Should I be too worried when theres like a heat wave with temps around 100 deg F???
Will the phone "warp" or "bend" or will the plastic melt a little?
Ok ok ok....of course, I will not leave it in the car during a heat wave...Of course I will not do that. But what if I walk around with the phone in my pocket. Will the phone warp or bend a bit during those kinds of temperatures?
Battery life is awesome!!!! Well, because I disabled Wifi, NFC, and all pretty much everything including GPS and for about 2 days now, battery level is still around 70%
But, I really dont like the material and I dont know how will this be impacted during a heat wave.
Whats your take on this to all?
Thx

The OP is asking a serious question.
Mine turned into ice cream in my pocket on a hot day. Had to throw my pants out. Phone was never seen again.
But seriously, no it won't melt or warp at those temperatures. Do plastics in your cart melt or warp on a hot day? Most likely not.

Even if its in my pocket?
Just afraid that the screen or the phone would warp or bend.
Like I said, of course, I will NOT leave it inside a car during a hot day....But, I would like to carry it with me in my pocket.

I'm pretty sure your phone will be fine, unless there's something you're not telling us. You don't by any chance live inside an active volcano, do you?
Every day for last 1 month was hot day here in India before the recent rains that cooled things down couple of days ago.
36-38°C was daily normal high. Did nothing to my 2 SGS4s.
It takes way higher than 100°F to melt or even soften the polycarbonate. My sister has spilled a piping hot coffee on SGS3 back which used similar material without any damage.
So no, 100F is nothing for these phones.
You will always have horror stories of people magically breaking their phones by doing nothing. Those few are there for every device. I have seen them in SGS3 forums, Note forums, HTC One forums and so on.
Those are not the norm. These phones are not the toys made to be used in nice temperate climate only.
THANKS !!!!!! For the quick help on this.
Makes me feel better now.
Don't worry, samsung qc usually already test usage in extreme temperature (-20 ~ 50 celcius). Even there is user youtube video for this test on s3.

So, I've had my Nexus 5 since November 6th, and like most phones it gets warm when doing anything intensive. Now, I don't play very many games and really nothing too demanding. Perhaps the primary game I play which seems to warm my device up is the Simpsons Tapped Out game. All things aside, I never felt that my device got "too" warm. Battery temp never went above 100 F (37.7C) that I was able to determine, however there was most certainly a "spot" on the back located just below the camera and dead center of the device. This spot was mirrored onto the LCD area as well. Again, I never thought too much of it, however Friday night (November 16th) I noticed that when the screen was on, but showing a black or similarly dark background there was now a blue-ish circular / oval shape essentially "burned" into the screen. I don't know how else to describe it. This spot coincides directly with the location of the RAM / CPU combination on the internal board.
So, my question, has anyone else experienced distortion of their screen? Presently, while noticeable on dark screens, it's not overly damaging. However, I fear that continued normal use of the device may cause cumulative damage. I plan on contacting Google direct on Wednesday when I have some time due to work, but I'm also worried that due to the RAM / CPU placement, this may be a bigger issue than 1 unlucky phone. Perhaps improper heat shielding?
For the record, I am using the images from http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5+Teardown/19016 to make my assumptions and conclusions
I appreciate any and all constructive comments!
My one got the same problem, just ordered replacement.
Maybe, the glue behind the glass had dried faster due to the higher temperature in that portion of the screen, causing a different light transmission just there, i think imho.

I highly doubt that there are different revisions of the glue behind the screen, so if one is bad, then all the nexus 5 until this was spotted will have it bad too..

Don't do that, if this starts happening to everyone, they WILL have to rma everyone's nexus 5 out there without asking.
This is by far the major problem of this phone. A true pain for google.
Been a busy day at work! Got my contact into Google as of now. Here's a pic for anyone curious
It seems definitely that the overheating of the cpu has modified the structure of the lower layer of the lcd panel and the backlight has a different effect in that part of the screen.

However, I fear that continued normal use of the device may cause cumulative damage. I plan on contacting Google direct on Wednesday when I have some time due to work, but I'm also worried that due to the RAM / CPU placement, this may be a bigger issue than 1 unlucky phone. Perhaps improper heat shielding?
For the record, I am using the images from http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5+Teardown/19016 to make my assumptions and conclusions
I appreciate any and all constructive comments!

Are you 100% stock? i played Dead trigger 2 and TR2 yesterday for like 3 hours non stop the back of the phone was pretty warm but not blazing hot i check my screen using the app called LCD tester and i see no spots like on your device
if your 100% stock google added thermal limiting to the CPU witch could have prevented this.
I don't think it's the glue. It's probably just a bad CPU. Not all nexus 5 are created equal. Mine barely gets warm from playing 3d intensive games while on the charger so I'd just RMA yours.

Like my device. Gets warm but not hot. If your 100% stock Google added thermal limiting I think it was due to this and not burning out the CPU

blue spot
Hello i just wanted to say that i also have this problem though i do not have the blue spot where the cpu and the ram are located but just above the icon bar. How is this possible? Does the battery also get that hot?

To find out if it is screen burn, try standard screen burn reversal techniques. If it doesn't reverse at all, it's not burn
Bump, does anybody have an idea what this is? I'm considering an exchange b/c of this blue spot.. The spot seems to not be getting any bigger but it's still bugging me

I know this is a dinosaur post that Im digging up but I have a similar issue and couldnt find much info on it.
Basically my Nexus 5 took a really bad fall from someone elses hand and the screen was fine except for a bit of light bleed and colour distortion which went away in the next morning
Now if I use a 2A charger or if I play on it for too long, screen gets a pinkish hue and a spot like this appears and the phone goes a bit hot but it goes back to normal later
doesnt always appear under normal use or if I use a 1A charger
Is this an LCD problem, overheating issue of cpu, motherboard issue or display ribbon?
