The last couple days my phone has always been at around 39-40ish Celsius. I'm not sure whether or not its because the days are also getting hotter. Usually around 75ish here in Jersey for the last couple days.

if you have recently installed any new apps, they could be running/locking up and causing excess heat, and if you changed the kernel or just recently upgraded your rom without wiping data, that could definitely cause that too.
either way, as long as your not suffering any really bad performance, or battery life, there is nothing to worry about. this phone is perfectly happy up to 50C (and if you don't care about the longevity of your battery, up to 70C or so)
TL;DR: you've got nothing to worry about

Not games at all. And a few YouTube videos here and there. I don't think its the root of the problem..

You sure about the numbers? Just curious if you have any sources. the stock battery is built for <40°C so idk
The funny thing is, the battery shows do not subject to >40C temps.
But my battery always seems to run over 40 without any problem. So you should be fine. It's normal.

The number your reading is the cpu temperature. a ton of heat dissipates by the time it reaches the battery (and the outside of the phone)
And I'm not 100% about the battery temp, but i am completely sure about the cpu temps. (i honestly don't care about my own battery, they cost like 10 bucks online and are easy to get... And I have a release day phone that hits 60C just about every day, and my first battery is still chugging along fine.
If you have a source for the battery operating conditions id love to get then for reference.

Are you overclocking the CPU at all? That can cause excess heat. Not sure what else it would be besides the combination of warm temperature outside and having the phone/screen on a lot.
Yeah I've always had it to 1.4ghz. Never encountered the heat issue before tho.

And you've been on the same rom or have you flashed a new one recently?
it started acting weird lately (last week) so i restored it to a previous version - without wiping first IIRC.
Should I nullify and reflash from scratch?

If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.

So I'm running inspired ace and I haven't noticed any problems until now. I noticed that after each
Charge my battery life is getting shorter and shorter. For instance when I first flashed the Rom,I got 26 hours off one charge with moderate use. Over the past 2 weeks its dropped from that and now,I pulled it off charger 7 hours ago and my battery is at 15%. The battery use is showing that the only thing eating a good piece of the battery is the display,and its only eating 42%. Is there something I'm missing? Is this a known issue discussed before? Is there another stock feeling sense Rom with GREAT battery life? Thanks in advance for any help

What is your screen on time for those 7 hours- not %, actual time. Click on display it will tell you the time. Its probably not a bug at all- your display was probably on for a long time; which is #1battery killer.

I haven't noticed that, running the same ROM solid since it was released.
Did you clear your battery stats upon flashing? How long have you been running the ROM? Have you installed any new apps since flashing? Have you been keeping an eye on any apps to see what's running as a service/using an abnormal amount of cpu?
Incidentally, I just got done logging 5h 45m screen-on time from unplug to low battery nag. No incoming/outgoing calls, gps off, WiFi on.
This is the highest I've gotten, and I really don't expect to see much more than that without messing with cpu settings and/or going to an AOSP ROM like...... GingerBeast.

I'm not sure to tell the truth. Im no newb when it comes to flashing,and have been able to sort out my own problems until here. But one thing I've never gotten into is seeing what is actually using the battery or CPU. So I don't know any apps or what it would take to do that. Also,I couldn't use adb because for some reason,it doesent play nice with my 2 Windows 7 ultimate computers lol. I want sense,I have to have it because it was my deal braker between the inspire and atrix. But if worse comes to worse,I guess ill have to do away with it,and get gingerbeast

What I've found, and what others in-the-know have said, is that a lot of these unexplained headaches can be caused by apps.
When my phone starts doing weird ****, with everything else being constant, no ROM changing, etc., I start clearing app data, cache, and if necessary, new apps themselves, until hopefully the problem goes away.
That's why I've personally taken it REAL slow with ROM flashing, for example. I want to know what works right with what, and I can't stand shooting in the dark when in comes to figuring out the source of a problem.
FWIW

so this wonderful phone we all have is a little... Buggy... I was one of those lucky people who wasn't having any issues with their phones now all of a sudden it gets a little laggy and the screen well shut off and not come back on (sometimes if I hit the power button repeatedly it will come back)... It kinda upsets me because I thought I had a good one... It was running fine after root, and after NVflash... It was after I started different kernels and roms that I had issues... Now I am running rooted stock with no other add ons and I am still having issues...
Question time.
Sounds like I am having the same issues as a lot of other people. True?
Should I get a replacement (sounds like a lot of the replacements are duds too) or just wait to see what the update brings?
I love this phone... I don't need perfect, just stable...

Check my thread here, will give you an idea of how widespread the problems are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107660
Same exact thing happened to me. One minute it was a perfect little baby, and next thing you know the booger starts acting up.
I was happy in the beginning when it gave me an awesome experience and was wondering why people are complaining about such an awesome device, then it struck me out of nowhere and began rebooting like crazy.
I want to ride this beast to the bitter end... I am hoping that the end is MUCH further down the road... so as far as we know, the "update" will be fixing most o these issues... i guess I am going to hold off on the replacement... seems like those have the same issues too...
And now the battery is heating up like crazy... I don't like this! Why it's this happening?

Ill leave my WiFi off all day tomorrow, then post a screenshot of my battery statistics (not the ones provided by Android) but more accurate ones from a app called "Battery Monitor" that gives a break down of use and what you had enabled. I don't want you to think I'm a liar or anything. I guess you could call me lucky but I have had nothing but good experiences so far. I haven't had any reboots, no lag, no freezing and great battery life. Probably better battery life than any other Android device Iv'e ever used. I take my phone off the charger at 7AM and don't return it until 9PM. Throughout the day I am making phone calls, sending texts, surfing the web, reading news from 4 different apps and playing some games. I don't know why anyone would lie about there battery life but maybe some people who say they only get 5 hours of battery life are just plain lying? See what I did there?
But does anyone else have a battery that is heating up for no reason? Should I look into a new battery or possibly a new phone?

Nah, the only time my battery heats up is when I am charging the phone and at the same time playing a graphically intensive game. Even then it doesn't heat up to the point of being uncomfortable.

It also depends on how much your 4G signal fluctuates so it depends on your area. If your constantly going from edge to 4G then that is using up more battery than me if I am always getting a good 4G signal. The more work your radio has to do the more battery it will use. The phone is going to eat up percentages when the display is off but if it's eating up "Display" percentage then I would say you have a problem. If your device is in standby most ofthe day then "Cell Standby" will be at the top on the percentage list. It's doing what it's supposed to do. If there was something wrong, then display would be at the top of the list. Next time you take your phone off of the charger, play a game for 20 minutes right away then make a 10 minute phone call. At this point you should see "Display" and "Voice Calls" at the top and "Cell Standby" the bottom. If not then something is wrong. I know there are many people with bad battery's and ones who have had problems with multiple units. I am just not one of them.

yes, we all get hot and battery drops faster when this happens.
i think its the cpu governor and clockspeed.
if you put alot of apps on its prossess then it wil work faster, faster = frition. friction=hot. hot= battery drain at a faster rate. dead batt= xda question theads more threads= cramped order. cramped order= more cliick and seeing more ads. all us seeing more ads= more money for xda. xda=thrives off newbies

It's likely to heat up your phone when playing 3D games, using GPS an the like. Depends on what you are doing with the phone. Also, if you use OC it might get hotter than usual. If you think it's heating beyond any limits, try going back to stock for a couple of days, then if it does the same thing, consider hardware issues.
Is the screen getting warm even with minimal use? I had similar issues with cm7 once when I forgot to do my wipes.
Same with mine mate, few minutes on 3g with full brightness and u can start frying eggs on display screen.

I keep mine in auto-brightness, haven't had this problem.
That's strange, I'm running AOSP+ and Eugene's kernel, not overlocked or anything.
I found with some of these ROM using auto brightness just made it dim and go bright crazy. Either way. I found as bad as it sounds a fresh install the best thing. Titanium backup, sms restore, and then wipe everything clean. Solved all the hassles
Mine has gotten warm with heavy use since I got the phone.
If your running voodoo and have your gamma sliders boosted to hell and back, this also will make the phone run *quite* warm.
I flash my Crespo a lot and I notice that if I stick with a ROM, use and charge my phone a few times with it, the battery life, which is not so good at first, gets better and better after a few charging cycles. Anyone experiencing too?
Nope. Maybe you're using the phone less since you probably take a few days getting everything set up and syncing first time around
