So the bottom part of the phone, that said where the USB incable goes connected, gets really hot, you can tell a big difference of temps between the top of the screen and the bottom.... Any ideas? I'm oc to 1.5 on virtuous inquisition, just to get it out of the way, the battery is not getting hot.

I would say that's normal unless it gets so hot it's difficult to hold..otherwise, the lower half of the device usually gets a little warm during moderate/heavy usage.
Note* Keep in mind if you're flashing different kernels, that that to, can create a lot of heat if you're using the wrong kernels...also overclocking too high can also cause heat issues..
I have the same problem with my phone and I think it's a hardware issue that most HTC phones have.Just go with it.

Well the bottom part is where the SoC is located.
1.5 isn't really an overclock because our SoC is the same and that is the native clock.

I really hope it doesn't damages the hardware and I will try going to the stock kernel and see what happens with the temps down there.

Mine is getting hot sometimes - from hands, from lack of ventilation in silicon case, it's OK if it's not 60 degrees Celsium...Sometimes I check battery temperature to get some relative understanding of normal temperature.
I have owned multiple HTCs and this is the first one that gets relatively hot during 10 minutes of screen on time. I feel like its a hardware fault but HTC is keeping quiet about it. Many other super phones, even more powerful ones lack this issue.
Yeah I noticed mine get's a little hot during use but nothing major to the point I can't even hold it. The hottest it seems to get is when I'm charging it and using it at the same time.

ive been reading alot about the heat and batt drain problem in the forums
here is my version why its getting hot and why the batt is ''draining''
sinse the sensation comes with an underclocked 1.2 ghz DUAL core (most people clocked it back to 1.5ghz and some higher like me 1.7 or even 2.1ghz)
and a 4.2" qHD screen its quite understandable why the battery is draining..
those hardware specs needs a lot of power (duh)
also
when you take a look at the 2007 model of the Packard bell Dot-s
you will see thats clocked at a 1.6 dual core and now we see..
take any laptop off the charger and use it like your sensation.
take a look at xda
mail someone or some people
play a flashgame or something like that
your laptop wont last longer then 2-3H without charging
so why would your sensation last longer then 12h?
it takes a lot of power for the sensation to keep up with the processor
then the heat
again take a laptop for example
you will notice that your laptop have a fan to cool it
take the packard bell again
if you do nothing with the laptop your fan doesnt do anything to be honest..
it spins around but it isnt cooling
but when you start a game or browse some on xda you will notice that the air comming out of your fan is getting warmer
so why shouldnt get your sensation warmer?
since you do almost the same on your sensation as your laptop its getting warm
BUT your sensation doesnt have a fan or something close to cooling so yes it heats up faster
now dont be worried
when a laptops fan melfuncioned it shuts itself off at a temp around 80-90 degrees celsius
thats 90% of the maximum the chipset can handle
so i guess the sensation can handle 70-80 degrees celsius
that makes 40-50 degrees on your sensation nothing
so i hoped everyone starts to understand that great specs comes up with down sides like getting warmer and bigger battery drain
if you cant accept that fact then buy an Nokia 3310 or something in that direction a Iphone
You can't really compare a mobile phone and a laptop lol. A laptop has much more processing and graphic power as compared to a mobile phone.

You do realise that Packard Bell laptop is rated for anything between 50W and 100W TDP, yes?
Your phone generates a tiny fraction of that. The two are not comparable simply because the clockspeed is similar.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
Your really comparing apples to oranges right now. These phones and the chips were designed with low power consumption in mind as well as heat so it doesn't damage anything in there, also a laptop like a member above said, has a whole lot more components than a phone. We're talking about harddrives, big 13-17in screens, WiFi, a bunch of other misc things as well.

Ok, ill just tell you where I'm up to here... I bought the XE, about a week ago after upgrading from my DHD. And ever since I started the phone up, I realised compared to DHD it is mega hot.. now before you point out, I do know XE has dual core .. I play games, browse websites, facebook etc.. and I find the phone getting extremely hot to the point I've been monitoring it all the time..
Browsing websites, I've seen temps of around 57 Celsius
Playing games, I've seen temps at 69 Celsius
Normal idle is usually hovers between 30-45 Celsius
I don't know if these are normal for a phone, but in a cold room my mobile acts as a radiator.. sometimes its that hot I feel I shouldn't be touching it..
I had my first one last week and I got the exact same result.. rooted and stock.. Sebastian kernal and stock.. ICS/GB.. and everytime the result is the same.. so I took the phone back to carphone and they replaced it with a new one..
This is what is confusing me about whether this is normal, because the outcome is exactly the same... I've underclocked, it did nothing.. it is also nothing to do with my battery as it usually sits at a comfortable 25-37 Celcius and only rises due to my CPU heating my entire phone and also my entire home..
Could someone please help me with a little info on whether this is normal.. or whether I'm entitled to a complete different handset as carphone as the overall experience with this overheating is making me a little edgy as to keeping the phone incase it explodes..
Right now my CPU temp is 59 Celcius, and that's just typing this message "/..
It happens on both XE's and I'm using system tuner to record CPU temp
Thanks guys
69 celcius? Mother of Heat (yea... A meme)
My Sensation also gets hot, but not that much. Maybe 43 Celsius the max temp It has reached. The problem its because of HTC's cheap battery mainly. Though you shouldn't expect your phone to be cool when it's having a load of charge (process) to deal with
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk 2 Beta-2
you can definitely expect your sensation to get hot every now an then. especially while charging and doing anything mildly intensive. usually while playing games like dungeon defenders my phone gets super hot even through the TPU case. it's nothing out of the ordinary though so don't worry. it won't explode in your pants
This is the HOTTEST phone in the market
How can I check the temperature of my Sensation?

To check your CPU temp just use system tuner from the market.. and for your battery temp, just search for a battery monitoring app I forgot which one I used as when I found it wasn't my battery I uninstalled
My sensation also gets hot all the time on heavy use.

Open phone dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
You can remember the "4636" part by seeing that it stands for "info"
This will only show the battery temp tho, but you don't need any 3rd party software
i been gettin same readings on my sensation xe im scared to play games for to long in case it causes a problem with the cpu / gpu... usualy playing games like real racer 2 i get temps up to 70c, i use system tuner to monitor temps..
Look like I had worse temp compare to everyone here.and I wasn't even playing a game.because sensation was too hot to touch.
Here are some pictures and what you said about underclocked is true. It doesn't make any difference and the phone still get very hot.
A new battery may bring your temps down...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
i have the same problem, but not that bad. it maybe goes up to 50-60 degrees.
i tested many different roms and kernels.
i have to confirm: underclocking does nothing it still gets hot. i cant say if its the battery from htc, but i can test that soon. i order an anker from amzon. have heard that one is better in other posts here.
i also noticed one thing today. it gets terrible hot while charging and doing stuff. so i tried to charg it from my pc and it does not get that hot anymore. maybe its the charger itself, but i can not confirm that, because it gets hot when not charging to.
what i also saw is that its not that bad anymore after i got a new rom an new kernel. im on vipers and bricked kernel with default settings. no setcpu or system tuner installed.
maybe that hepls

Holy crap, you could almost bake a pancake on that!
Just web browsing over 3g for 20-30 min will heat the phone up pretty warm to the.touch. it also drains about 1% per 1 min of 3g browsing not even streaming. I'm still on 1.73 att. No apps in background and there is no idle battery drain. Is this normal? I'm guessing not brightness is set way under half
This happened to me only when I'm on like YouTube for a while but mine reaches like 110° F :-(
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
mine gets hot as well just by browsing. it is right on the bottom left of where the camera is
If I just check FB or draw something, this phone will start searing my thigh when I put it back in my pocket. This phone is definitely HOT(not in a good way...)
I have had 0 heat issues (can only feel it heat up while charging)
Maybe this is because I had the iPad 3, so nothing seems hot in comparison
mine only heats up when im charging and using it at the same time (playing games usually)
Maybe someone should make a poll because I'm having zero heat issues. Played few games the other day while waiting for my gf's OBGYN doctor to come in and check out our soon to be baby and we was playing for a good half hour. Barely any heat at all. Charging produces hardly any heat if any heat at all (noticeably anyways).
The highest I've seen so far was 41C while using wifi tether. Since I came from Nitro HD, which goes to 63C when voice talk on skype or gtalk, and makes your brain boil, this didn't bother me a bit...
Mine only gets hot when I use google navigation, which is understandable. It gets warm when I play hanging with friends, but in my experience that game spikes the processor the entire time it's open.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No heat issues at all for me, I tried to put as much load on the phone as I could to test this issue and all is well, it got warm to the touch but no more than any other smartphone I've used in the last ~6 years...
41c is not hot. My Atrix used to rocket up to 60-70. That was too hot. Think about it: 104 is barely warm enough for a hot tub. You can run a fever of 104 and be ok. Yeah, it's high for a person, but come on - dual 1.5ghz with a HD screen? They can't make that stuff make cold instead of heat!! Just saying...
It stays well under 50c. In my mind... *perfect*

Indeed it does! Thanks for the laugh also. I can't see that too many things would warm up the phone more than that. You are using the internet, GPS, and putting a heavy load on the battery at the same time after all.

I am coming from an LG Thrive and using GPS never got as hot as this phone or got hot as fast either. The only time it did get hot was if the sun shined right on it. I put my screen to never shut off and run google maps so that it would update to latitude. The HOX definitely gets very hot on a cloudy day when my Thrive would be just warm if that

Just so we're clear, good build quality will often make the exterior of a device hotter. This helps keep the all-important interior cooler. Having my phone feel hot while being measurably at reasonable temperatures is good! You must be careful not to base your opinion of the device's thermal management on subjective senses rather than measured fact.

And I won't argue the subjective notion of heat on your lap during nav! I know 105-110 feels pretty doggone warm (I had to check the temp to make sure it wasn't overheating), but if the exterior is only a couple degrees different than the interior...? That's good stuff right there.
My phone does seem warm to me now that i think about it but it seems to happen when it wants..
yesterday i noticed it would get pretty warm (not ridiculously hot though) when i would be on it for a few minutes (texting, tweeting, the usual).
but then today it was just fine. it was warm but not like it was yesterday.
not sure if i'm just not used to having a phone with this type of casing, (i had an Inspire previously and it didn't seem to get too hot.) i would figure a phone with a plastic or similar material casing would feel warmer compared to something like with a metal back (correct me if i'm wrong )
I don't think that this phone should get hot. It uses a 28nm process while being just a dual core processor. I think that the voltage might be higher than it should be. We need custom kernels and roms for this baby!!!

Ugh, if there's one thing that annoys me more than anything else, it's the phone getting warm/hot.
If anyone wants to humor me and try this I'd really appreciate it. I want to get an idea of what other users phones are reporting temperature wise.
To get a good idea, if you will, download "batter monitor widget" and/or "system panel lite" from Google Play and use the browser for 5 mins and then use the XDA app for 5 mins and state what your temp is Fahrenheit. Thanks so much to those who try it.
I relocked the bootloader last night and flashed the 1.85 ruu and did all the unlocking and rooting. By the time I was done my phone showed a temp of 104. That seems too hot to me. I'm afraid that if it gets that hot regularly that the battery life will eventually take a hit.
P.S. You can also find the temp by calling *#*#4636#*#* and clicking on battery information.
After 15 minutes of playing Dungeon Hunter 2 I'm at 102.4F.
Do you want this done on wifi or cellular data? Using the cell radio will task the battery more than the wifi...
UPDATE: using cellular data on ics browser plus and xda app. After minutes of each, temp is 87 Fahrenheit. Maybe you have a dud? Mine doesn't usually get hot unless I'm playing a graphically intensive game

I test mine with wifi on. I noticed it makes a difference if the room temperature is really warm i.e. no AC or fans. If it's really cool my will stay in the 80's but if it's mid day and it's like 85 outside and around 80 in the house I will notice just by browsing that it can reach about 95 almost every time.
I took one phone back already because I thought it was getting too warm but I'm on my 3rd One X now and all three have had the same temps overall so I'm thinking either I got three bad phones all with heating issues or it's normal.
I have OCD and see a psychologist and I mentioned to him about how I might be just obsessing and he told me that I WAS and to just stop thinking about it. He said that devices do get warm with use and any temp, even around 100, is normal for a smart phone because of the processing it does. He told me to take a look at his mac and see what the internal temp was and it was like 120 just after sitting idle.
I probably shouldn't have made this thread because most likely it looks like I'm just seeking reassurance, but I was curious to what other temps you guys were getting. Hopefully it would set my mind at ease.
P.S. I bothers me because we spend so much on these phones that I want one as close to perfect as I can get. If I see that I'm the only one with temps like 85-99 just from browsing for 10 mins or so then I know there is something wrong. On the other hand I wish I could just forget about it and use the phone normally.
These temps are well within the normal range. I have had the pleasure of owning about 10 phones in the last two years, all high end android phones. The heat dissipation of this phone is excellent compared to the international Galaxy S 2 HTC Infuse, Motorola Atrix and so on. Sadly there is no perfect phone but this is the closest you're going to get for now

Heat is Li-Ion's biggest enemy. You are right to be concerned. Anything over 86 degrees F is wearing down the electrolyte.
Humidity and ambient temp have a lot to do with the ability to get rid of heat. Just asking what temp a phone reaches after 5 minutes of some activity doesn't really give enough info. Ambient temp should also be posted along with results, and humidity if available. Altitude/air pressure also has an effect on getting rid of heat(should be minimal unless you are comparing sea level vs 5000 feet).

Ok. Overclocking has never really affected my phone noticeably in terms of heat.
The sensation has an inbuilt fuse ( it doesn't really it is just to explain it ) so when the temperature gets too high and dangerous enough to damage the phone or cause serious damage to the user the phone will power off automatically.
If you want to reduce the temperature of the phone try:
-turning down the brightness
-turning of auto sync
-using leedroid tweaks or it may be part of other tweaks by now as well to turn off the lights of the four UI buttons.
By doing these my temperature remmains very low
