[Q] does the htc sensation have no cooling methods - HTC Sensation

Does the sensation actually have no cooling methods, not even a minute on lowest brightness playing running fred and it got warm and even in the very few seconds it is takig to write this it is feeling warm already and I have no tasks running it any syncs or anything rubbing.

Does any phone have a cooling method?
Most of the heat is probably generated by the CPU or Battery so you could try underclock.

The phones have passive cooling methods. But under heavy load they're not so effective. Try an ics build... They solved the heating issues on my case

When I'm at home and my phone heats I put it on the fridge for a minute and it gets out very cold a sort of cooling phone way

You could damage it that way... Better use a hair dryer ( on cold of course )

The fact that you can feel the heat means the phone is dissipating the energy.

Might be the battery, I had a similar problem using stock battery, it got to over 45C under heavy load! Got a anker battery and it sits at 25C all day and never gets hot at all. It depends on your phone some people have extreme overheating problems with anker batteries. But might be worth looking into. Download battery monitor widget and keep an eye on temperature first though.

Sorry, wrong thread.

Is it possible to return my Sensation back to T-Mobile (still under warranty) because of dust under the screen and ask for a Samsung Galaxy SII while also providing a partial payment of the phone?

As I said, the humidity of a refrigerator can damage your phone. I'm just stressing it so you don't end up with a phone exploding or whatever

Get a ziplock bag fill it with ice and cold water and just let the phone sit on top of the bag

That's cause Anker has no temp sensor.

Seriously? Didn't know that . it seems to solve my overheating problems anyway, my stock battery got so hot I couldnt hold the phone but like now with my anker battery I've been using it without the screen turning off for about 2 hours and its still cool
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE using xda premium

Well um generally it is not the battery at all that causes thr overheating its the cpu. I had my phone go up to 40 degrees Celsius but the battery was actually fairly cool, its always the bottom of the phone, where the battery isn't that it starts to overheat.

Underclocking makes the CPU work longer and prevents the CPU from sleeping so that might not help much. I don't recommend anything that could get wet (fridge, ice bag, etc...). Tethering, GPS Navigation, heavy use and charging usually produce the most heat. I use a small desk fan if it's near.

Really hot when using cm7

Anyone else's sensation getting quite hot while running cm7? Iv got no custom kernel running just the regular included kernel clocked at 1.2 :S it can get really hot sometimes and I'm not running anything intensive maybe just playing some music and browsing the xda app most iv done is play a 2D game

Depending on the ROM and what your doing with the phone, it can get very hot. I'm now using Android Revolution HD, however with insertcoin, when I would use my phone a lot, the battery got super super hot.

I hate to point out the obvious, but isn't the common denominator the battery? Maybe our batteries are faulty. I'm running a stock Sensation and my battery gets hot too when charging or when the screen is on for a little while.
mine is usually at the bottom of my screen. weird i know. i even read it happens to others to on the bottom of the screens

While charging it is normal. Because now everything is getting slimmer and slimmer all the parts are getting closer and this is the result. Every battery gets warm when you charge it, some more some less. It is not a defect.

Sensation heating up!

So my sensation started heating up quickly to about 39C and only cools down to about 30+.
I'm running the stock 2.3.4, rooted with S-OFF.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

With the weather we are having this week 39c isnt bad at all. During heavy use I saw 46c once on the stock battery before changing to an Anker (which feel cooler to the touch), and that was in much cooler weather
As long as it stays below 50c under heavy usage its perfectly normal for a sensation in my oppinion.
Cheers

The weather is amazing! Makes u want to strip & run naked
Where did you buy your Anker from? Amazon? And if I flashed a custom ROM or a different kernel, would it solve the problem?

Yep, bought it from amazon...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-1900mAh-Li-ion-Battery-Sensation/dp/B0053EZJMC/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
Note: battery widgets/monitors report the wrong temperature on 3rd party batteries with the sensation. The back of the phone feels much cooler to the touch though under heavy use so its definitely running cooler than the stock battery.
If you underclocked the phone it would probably run cooler then, but I really wouldnt worry about the heat unless your seeing temps of 50c+ on the stock battery.
Cheers

Weird overheat..

Never had this issue before ..
When i use my phone normally it heats up real quickly im using the 1900mah anker battery but it wasn't like this before the other day..
I forgot my phone in the car and when i took it back it was extremely hot because of the sun but since then it overheats i tried changing clock speeds aswell changing rom.. so im sure its not the roms..

Try changing to a different kernel, they have better temperature control/redundancies than the stock kernels (which I'm assuming you're using due to your sig )
Try Faux or Bricked, they're in the Dev thread.
Battery could be damaged because of the extreme heat? Just a thought but it shouldn't happen though.
Hows the battery life?

It happened to me on my STOCK battery. I switched out battery to Anker and its NEVER happened since. Sort of leads my to believe it is related to the battery. My screen got sooo hot honestly I could barely touch it, I was afraid it was going to fry my SD card! After the switch not once has it done it again. Hope this can help you out in some way! Good luck

Sounds rather strange...
Also food for tough.. I had this problem with my phone because of a service was hanging on 95% CPU.. I force closed it, but it automatically started again, so I had to wipe and re-install the ROM.
The buttons tend to get hot, I've noticed this. Has nothing to do with battery temp.
Check the battery temperature, it will not be more than 40 deg Cel.
I have turned the lights off and i do not feel overheat anymore this is crazy loll

Turn the brightness down, turn of auto sync and as suggested before turn of the buttons. Brightness has also caused my overheats so I keep it down whenever I can.
From my experience of 3 batteries, stock anker and a saner the battery has had no effect on the overheating, could it just be a placebo effect?

Anker Battery and System shut down.

I bought an anker battery and at first was a bit disappointed but after a few charge cycles it really is amazing. I've gone from 2 hours screen on time to 3 and a half. Only issue is the phone gets to 13% and switches off completely.
It is either reporting the battery level wrong or there's some other issue. I'm on Viper 1.6.0 rom. I don't believe the whole wiping battery stats thing works or can someone prove me wrong?

Deleting the battery Stars probably wont do anything. This is a quote i found:
This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the “Battery Use” UI in settings.[...]It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.It has no impact on your battery life.
So no idea why my battery dies at 13% still.

I can at least confirm that this happens with my anker also :/

Doesn't know if it's right, but I think it's battery's problem. I had same problem when my battery was old enough.
Here's proof that wiping the battery stats does nothing important: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT

if your device is rooted you can use kernel tuner and you can see both cpu and battery temperature
