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

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...

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

I have the Inspire4g/Desire HD (obviously)... Ive noticed my phone constantly runs above 36 degrees most of the time (Celsius?), around 35-40...
Sometimes it gets as hot as 40-42 degrees....
I have the Rcmix3d ROM and overclocked at (400ghz+) 1.7ghz, but since all these heating, Ive changed it to only about 300ghz-1.5ghz
(btw Im set on 'conservative' for SetCpu , if that makes a difference). Now the temps are like between 32-38, and sometimes hits near 40..
So is this bad at all? WHats the max temperature for the inspire or smartphones in general? Whats yours' temprature?
Also, I live in hawaii and it's usually hot here, especially now in summer (70-80 degrees). So that might be one factor I guess?
From what I read the Inspire is pretty good at handling heat, I know personally my phone gets that hot sometimes though, i used to get somewhat scared when it got to 108(42 celcius) but that would only happen when my phone was plugged in and I was doing some heavy usage...
I would just unplug the phone and everything would be okay, I also went as far as taking of both covers and the battery and just let the phone cool down...
And the outside temperature can be a small factor, not enough to effect the phone though because its pretty insulated with the metal.
So I started playing this game Order and Chaos Online (kinda MMO similar to WoW) and the temps get very high, up to 41C on WiFi and 43C on 3g. The phone is burning to a point that it hurts my hand. I'm playing aprox 2-3 hours per day, sometimes maybe 4 hours, how dagerous is that to the phone? Can it do any significat damage over time?
I am using the jame bond kernel at 1ghz, which is also a bit undervolted, don't know the values tho, governer is set to ondemand. I tried to underclock it to 800mhz but the game lags sometimes and is a no-go.
ukhm, khm....
Well if the phone is heating up and it sounds pretty bad, I'm pretty sure its dangerous. Maybe not, but IMO it is. My Sprint HTC Hero has over heated a few times and after that it had small little dots on the screen. Hopefully your phone don't fry.

Mines usually sits between 34°C - 36°C, its seems like a normal temp IMO. I've never had my phone hit 41°C before and I sometimes i tether my phone via usb and it still dosent hit that high. If your is hitting that high, it could also be the temp around your home or something. But I wouldn't use your phone to play MMO, especially if your playing 2-4hrs everyday. Just saying..

Well I'm at stock right now because I'm waiting for the ota tomorrow. But I was using koushdecks 1.2.1 with matr1x kernel 4.0 bfs version. Clocked it up to 1.3ghz - 100hz, switched between smatass to ondemand everyone ounce in awhile and I still was at 36°C. I use setcpu's widget to always check my temp and it never goes higher then 36°C. Fact.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
Can anyone else pls tell their usual temps, this got me a bit worried. On browsing the net I achieve 38C, on some intensive games I can get over 40C. When idle it usually stays at 30C, sometimes in the morning I find it with 28C. Is this normal?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
so I'm still liking the sensation have a few problems with it but 1 thing I'm unsure of is how hot can this thing get before I need to worry.
the widget that I use shows me the temperature of my phone
most of the time it's just under 100 or just over 100 degrees fahrenheit, however when I'm playing a game right asphalt 6 this sucker really starts to heat up .
to like 116 118 fahrenheit .
so I ask how hot is too hot at what temperature should I start to worry about overheating or damaging the phone somehow
Don't worry, when I'm playing angrybirds my phone gets at least as hot as yours. Try installing a home-cooked ROM from the development section, these guys know their things and will get you better sensation for sure.
Again, heat is normal. At least with my knowledge.
I know a lot of people don't let their phones get over 45*C, which is about how hot your phone is getting. I would say 1) that temp shouldn't be bad as long as it's not at that for long periods of time, and 2) as long as it isn't getting hotter than that, you should also be fine. Still, underclocking it with custom kernel wouldn't hurt. Our phones are powerful enough that underclocking it a bit shouldn't take a hit on performance, plus it should take away some of the heat.
My phone idles at 29*C and gets up to 45-50*C while playing games (Asphalt 6 is one of them). I left the phone charging in the window under direct sunlight and it hit 48-49*C while idle/screen off (didn't do that again!).
As with PCs, as long as it doesn't stay high for extended periods of time I'm sure you're fine. You can try custom ROMs/Kernels to see if one is better than the other.
OT but I remember my laptop getting to 90*C running an "unsupported" OS on it.
122*F is the damage point.

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*

+1. Put your phone on your leg and drive with nav on. Heats up like a griddle after a few.

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.

Oh I don't doubt that the phone has better thermal management. I was nearly stating the fact that it gets very hot when placed on your lap and doing nav... Can't really argue that one.

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!!!

Hey guys,
I am calibrating my battery atm and as you may know you have to discharge your device fully to calibrate the battery properly. To speed up the process I decided to install a stresstest app to my phone and guess what: the phone gets insanely hot, I can't even hold it in my hand longer then 5-10 seconds. Kernel tuner displays me temperatures between 78 and 82°C.
But this overheating problem not only happens with the stresstest. When I start watching videos on youtube or start using my phone for maps it gets hot too (about 60-70°C). It starts to bug me.
What do you guys think I should do to fix this? I already thought about applying some thermal compound between the CPU and the metal shield around it. But I'm not quite sure if it's a good idea. I already have a new phone but I still need two phones because I have to travel between Germany and Switzerland all the time. And this issue starts to make my Sensation unusable.

I would suggest an anker battery. It has a greater capacity and it keeps the battery very cool.

Already using it and I'm talking about the CPU temperatures and not the battery's temperature.
And sure I did try different kernels. Even at stock kernel setting this thing gets hot as f***!

So I just decided to disassemble my Sensation and put some thermal compound on the processor chip. Now I'm not getting over 70°C at full load, 1,56GHz. Pretty good outcome. And under normal use it doesn't heat up over 45°C.
I really have to recommend you this method!
