Hello everyone! I got a Samsung Infuse bout 2 weeks ago and have noticed it does get significantly warm to the touch once in a while. The temperature ranges from around 80 to even 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Just curious to know if going that high is normal especially with the super amoled plus display. I'm running Infuse v2 and it seem that the heat does not come from the battery. Will 120 degrees F wear down the Li battery? I also use a Ballistic case which is a pretty thick case with silicon inner shell and then a more plastic outer one. Would that trap hat inside the phone? All responses are extremely appreciated!

Basically i just wanted to show how i managed to get the 3500 battery plus the backing to fit my original holster purchased from Best Buy for $39.99 which can be bought off ebay for much cheaper
Pretty much how it looks stock with the holster and casing
Same as above
Full body shot of the case over stock battery
with the 3500 in the epic showing the size difference
side view of the back battery covers.. clearly bigger
now with the 3500 custom battery cover on,
Uhhooo a little to big to fit in the holster, notice it has a hard time even having it go into the clip as well as the base that holds the phone in is just not shaped right ..
Now lets melt down some gold...... Well plastic ... pretty much bring the flame to the oval part of the bottom just bring the flame side to side to get it nice and hot, DO NOT LET IT SIT IN ONE SPOT... You will then see bubbles and actually burn the plastic and it wont be pretty anymore and may even fall off cause the plastic is so weak now.... but heat it up to the point where you have the phone sitting in it like the picture above and push the phone into the holster to where its snug, you will notice the plastic move and adjust, once youve done this to both sides and the phone is in snug, let it cool down so it remolds back to the new state of adjustments, it should stay intact of the new mold you set it so next time its much easier to put in like it was an original
SNUG!!!!!
Aftermarket battery with back and i still get to use my holster
P.S. IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BURN YOUR PINKY... YOUR MOM TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY WITH FIRE, I JUST GAVE YOU THE DIRECTIONS IF YOU FELT LIKE GOING AGAINST HER WORD..
where are the pics?
yeah all the pics are broken for me...
Please update pics.
Hi guys. I recently saw this (http://blog.whitesites.com/HTC-Sensation-4G-Chrome-Polished-Frame__634471425817343750_blog.htm) and decided to try this on my phone's battery cover. it looks pretty cool now, with the battery door shiny and mirrorish. you can try this out too, but make sure you dont sand the metal too hard after the dark blue paint falls off, because thats going to give it scratches that are hard to remove. you can use about 100 grit to remove the paint, then 400 to make the surface smooth. with the new look, i feel like i have a new phone again. haha
Post pictures when you are done! I was considering it too, but i really like the feel of the blue material...

here, ive uploaded a picture, its in the first post. i like the new texture now, it feels just as smooth as the front glass! and it feels cooler in my hand too (maybe because im touching the metal directly, and not through the paint)
Wow! That looks really good! I'll do this when i have time
So here is a little trick to go along with that. Since the blue / purple backing on the battery cover was a rubber composite, it tended to hold heat more. Now that you got that barrier off, here is the next step. Wrap your battery in aluminum foil and then put the cover on. Since aluminum foil doesn't conduct heat it will transfer it to the backing (since it doesn't actually touch the battery without the foil bridge) and dissipate the heat during use. This will keep your temperature down and for what it is worth, extend lifeline of the battery. I actually did this a long time ago (only in didn't sand the back, I soaked the cover in acetate solution and the rubber peeled right off) and it works fairly well, especially when using CPU for a duration like online music.

cool, what made you put that cover into the solution? sounds much better cos it doesnt leave scratches. where do you get it?
if you allow heat to go into the cover, wont the phone feel much hotter in your hand? and wouldnt it affect the temperature of the lcd? my phone gets hot sometimes when charging, so i just remove the cover and leave the phone standing on the windowsill to prevent that.
Acetate is really nothing more than nail polish remover. I was getting my Google on a long time ago and came across it. Some kid with an XT did a YouTube video on it.
Since the heat is dissipating out the back, it doesn't effect the LCD on the front. The cover doesn't get too hot and actually the phone runs cooler bc the heat has somewhere to go.
Think of it like a wetsuit. You are totally dry and warm when fully covered, but open the neck a bit and your whole body gets cold. Phone is same way bc of the rubber coating. Remove that and the heat has somewhere to go and not stay trapped inside and cause possible damage to battery and CPU.
Hello everybody,
Today it was about 30 degrees Celsius outside. I went swimming with some friends but I left my phone in the car. I wrapped it in a small towel and put it in the side doors little pocket, so im pretty sure it was in the shade.
My car is a white GT86
I was wondering if the heat could have damaged anything to my phone
Thanks in advance!

I would think the part that would be affected most would be the battery which should have an optimal range up to 40C and can withstand temperatures higher than that when not in use. I would say cool it down prior to powering it up, but I am not a Li-ion battery expert.....
Honestly, only you could figure it, if it works well its good. I would be more concerned with temperature above 38 degrees which may feel above 40 in a closed parking car.

You shouldn't need to worry as long as it wasn't direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can damage your screen (maybe).
Thanks for the input y'all!
Well when gaming and such your phone inside gets a lot hotter than what inside of a car would get.

I had the same thought.
30c isn't even that hot. Given, the inside of a car will get much hotter than the air temperature. But exactly how hot, depends on how sunny it is, whether the car was parked in the shade, windows cracked open, etc. But even if the inside of the car gets to 40c or more, I still wouldn't be that worried. There are places in the world that get to be 38C or more on a daily basis, after all.

That's really cool!
I love the GT86 such a fun car
If really concerned, then put it on the top shelf of a beer cooler! ??
I have used the phone quite a lot in ~45° C, here in the Indian capital and it has not affected the phone performance in any way.
Hi so my old tablet is going crazy can anyone help me fix it I have attached a video I think the lcd has gone bad or my gpu is malfunctioning
Was it dropped, exposed to water or prolonged high temperatures?
The cam shake and overhead fan was far more annoying than the display
Nah I just left it suffocating inside my cupboard with my clothes for 6 Years

I just left it in my clothes for 6 years inside my cupboard and for high temperatures is 40 Celsius for 360 hours per year for 3 years fine to kill
The lcd
That's not high enough to harm a LCD.
Exposure to solvents will poison a LCD though, they aren't sealed airtight.
Obviously it didn't age well though.
Try leaving it run for a while. Do not leave in direct sunlight as that can fry them.
Hello to all,
I use my phone in a booklet phone case.
When I use the phone inside my car with Android Auto wireless I noticed that it gets really hot. I checked the battery temperature.
Especially as it is summer now, the ambient temperatures are higher than a couple of months ago.
I now have on a regular base 37-38°C battery temperature (read by Accubattery app).
At 39°+ I noticed that the phone slows down (in order to prevent heat damage).
Therefore I wonder if a head transfer tape could improve heat dissipation. I'm thinking of a tape like on GPUs in computer hardware.
I found something on Aliexpress:

My idea is to put the tape between the back cover and phone case to improve heat transfer.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Do you think that this could lead to lower battery temperatures?
Thank you very much.

It depends on the material that your case is made of. Using some kind of thermal absorbing material between the phone and the case might extract the heat from the device but if your case doesn't dissipate the heat absorbed by the thermal material, the heat will just be trapped between the back cover and your case, which isnt really an improvement.
Try a different case or no case.
The phone stays in a silicone case which is glued to the booklet made of PU.
PU does not have a good thermal conductivity. Perhaps I could add some holes so that the heat dissipation tape gets ambient air.

Maybe a small portable cooling pad like used with small laptops would help or a small 12v fan that plugs into a 12v outlet in your car.
I already thought about a fan.
I ordered an ESR wireless charger with Cryoboost (cooling fan) to check if charging would be possible with fan.
