When I play graphic intensive games like Where's My Water or Cut The Rope, my battery temperature goes up rapidly. Within 4 or 5 levels it's in the mid 40s C. (The first time it went all the way up to 53 C before I looked at it.)
Is this normal?
If not, would you suspect a bad battery? (I got the phone used.)
FWIW, I'm running ARHD 6.6.3. Behavior is the same under the stock kernel and under SebastianFM's kernel.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Same problem.
I'm having the same problem too. Would appreciate it if someone could post a solution here!

Well the battery doesn't CAUSE overheating, the processors do. Always. ICS roms, the newer ones anyway don't overheat the phone as much, turn of your syncs, mobile network and decrease the brightness of the phone. Your phone will always overheat pretty much no matter what you are doing on it if it is charging.

Try to change the governer...and don't over clock the processors..actually 1.2ghz would do....so try changing the governer...or try faux kernel (keep the governer to intellidemand) ...I use faux kernel and also I play a lot...phone heats up but not that much...it reached max of 40 C

I'll try re-flashing ARHD 6.6.3 and install Faux kernel this time. The governor is part of a separate app, right? I can't find a governor to set otherwise.
The battery still heats up when I set a max CPU frequency of 1.148 GHz. I'll post my results with Faux kernel and with replacing the battery (with an Anker 1900 mAh one.)

The governor sort of controls how the CPU speed will run on your kernel. You can change the governor using an app like SetCPU or System Tuner. BTW faux does tend to run a bit warmer, in my experience, but it's nothing to worry about if you know that you're running apps that are a bit heavy on the CPU.

I had the same problem , and im now currently running ARHD.
First time i try stock kernel and everything was burning, tryed to change with sebastian kernel with stock cpu speed and nothing change (and so a hard battery drain), they suggest me re-flashing Sebastian kernel and now everything is ok, temperature is not going up..
im currently running Faux kernel, all stock, and everything is awsome, try it.

I Super-wiped, formatted dalvik cache (I didn't see it in the Superwipe messages), re-installed ARD 6.6.3 with SebastianFM kernel, re-installed the radio, and put in the Anker battery. With System Tuner limiting the CPU max to 1.148 MHz and Governor set to Powersave, my battery hardly heated up at all while playing a game. The game's graphics did stutter though.
Now trying the on-demand governor to see if I can play without stuttering and without overheating the battery. My suspicion is that the improvement is due to re-doing the flashes or replacing a damaged battery.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!!
This fix only works for Ondroid rom. And then it has mixed results as to effectiveness.
But ARHD requires firmware 3.32 to work. If you try 3.12 you are likely to get bootlooping.
Musa, you know this only works on Ondroid. You should not be recomending firmware twaeks for other roms you havent tested it on.

For future refference you dont have to reflash your rom to switch kernels.
Just wipe dalvik and cache and flash the new kernel. The first boot after than will take a few minutes but then it will be fine.
Its MUCH easier tgan redoing the whole rom.

More testing: I tried putting the old battery back in. Within 3 levels of gameplay the battery heated up to 40C. The new battery hasn't hit 30C no matter what I do. I think it's fairly conclusive the used battery that came with the phone is defective (whether from use, mis-use, or original defect, I have no idea.)

Nope incorrect my friend. Any batteries that ate not from HTC themselves won't tell the correct temperature because they do not have full battery calibration like it is with the stock ones.

dont hold me to this but you could try getting the htc evo 3d battery or the sensation xe which I think are 1720mah, their callibration should work.
I contacted Anker to see if they had any software or anything for reading temperature. They said they did not and offered to take the battery back (kudos.) I'm keeping the battery.
Underclocking the CPU to 1 GHz seems to be helping quite a bit. Also, something changed with the battery sensing. The Anker battery went from indicating 25C all the time to indicating 11.5-12C all the time. When I put the stock battery back in, it's reading 17C while charging and somewhat above that while playing games, but nowhere near as high as before.
I wonder what's going on...

I'm more cautious and limit the CPU to normal (stock) running speeds parameters when it hits 40°C and then lower the max further if it ever reaches 45°C.
I thought with the newest update of LBC's ROM you shouldn't be using SetCPU as it disables the new virtuous overclocking daemon? I'm running the Virtuous Unity ROM on my DS. IMHO, the battery life is great compared to Coredroid v1.2 with SetCPU. Not sure if it has any settings for temperature like SetCPU though..

You are quite correct, I only upgraded to the latest version of LBC v0.5.2 earlier this afternoon and as the install instructions recommended promptly un-installed setCPU.
Too early to tell anything...............
Hoping that next version of the virtuous O/C Daemon will incorporate temp and battery profile switching.
They're talking of using a GUI in the future for this feature, fingers crossed it'll have the extra settings! Once you've run LBC for a couple of days any chance you could post how you're battery life is getting on?

Yep, I read that and I'm hoping that they incorporate criteria like setCPU does, the phone is certainly more responsive from lock screen which is a great improvement.
I'll happily report back, but, it usually totally depends on how much use I give the phone during the day which varies massively, I also have a mugen high capacity battery 1800mAh high capacity battery.
If I don't touch the phone, it will loose just 10-20% over the day, even less if I'm at home and only have wifi on, where as other days I stream radio for an hour and use the internet XDA a lot and it looses 50-60% over the day.
I also use the great application tasker to automate the switching of my radios and don't have auto sync enabled. I simply sync first thing in the morning, at lunch and in the late afternoon.
If I notice any significant change from v0.5.1 I'll re-post.

Hi,
First post, be kind, I'm just wondering if you can use a Kernel such as Matr1x with the newly released ICS 4.0.4 stock rom ?
I still think battery life on this is pretty bad - I'm thinking this could make a difference if possible to do.
If you have any hints / ideas - would be most welcome.
It's driving me crazy - a charge over night then a charge about 3pm ... I think is a little excessive.
My phone is rooted.
Thanks to you people
Yes you can. download the kernel, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the kernel

Its a newer kernel base .26 vs .22 on the kernel your running the main reason I changed to 18.5 is swap was taken out and fast charge was added.. if neither of those matter to you I don't think there's any huge differences...

The ability to change your governors and IO schedulers should help battery life.
I've been using the combo for a bit over a day now and the battery is pretty great when on WiFi. About 5-7% per hour of screen on time and playing games like Temple Run or Boost 2
It will help! Use the CFS version. That tends to be a bit more stable. next, get and app called NStools. Set your min speed to 200, and max to 800. Then set the liveOC to 105. On the first page at the bottom tap it and pick noop. Set govorner to smartassV2.

Are you using the stock charger? mine does the same thing if I plug it into a blackberry charger.
May I suggest getting a stand alone battery charger and an extra battery or two and then you will never have to plug the charger into your phone again.

teuv runs at 880mhz.
its possible that an app or a background process is active. try this free app from the market, its called diagnosis https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en
I thought it did too, but NsTools and CPU spy both give me: 100Mhz, 200Mhz, 400Mhz, 800Mhz, 1000Mhz, and 1096Mhz. I will try the tool from the market (yes, I still calls it the market)

if you just booted, it should(for about 2-4 minutes) then it should drop. unless you have an active live wallpaper, an app thats not written very well, or a process thats gone wild. try that app i linked, let it run for a few hours, maybe you can find the cause.
My phone had been on for a few hours...
Also, I flashed TEUV, and I don't think my phone handles it very well (TEUV has GPU overclock). Once I booted, it gave me a black screen and said: (Application) has stopped working for every app on startup. This happened twice, so I went back to Matr1x and battery is still terrible...

sounds like a bad download of teuv.
Bad download? I flashed it properly and it booted fine, until after the "optimizing applications" screen
is this the first charge since you flash the kernel? If it is, let the battery run out, charge it full and take a look at it again. I find that ICS really take a full charge to stablize its battery... my first charge after flashing a new kernel has always use a lot more battery than the second charge.
Alright, I'll try that... Also I went back to aosp+ because I really like it.
Also, android system is always using 20% cpu, even on idle..
I remember performing some tests with frequencies and deep idle - I wanted to find out the minimum frequency required to run music player screen-off with few concurrent processes. I remember reading how 400mhz is the optimal frequency for deep idle but cpu spy would always report it cruising at 1ghz and cross referenced with nstools DI stats, it was supposedly in deep idle. With DI off and bumping up the frequency to 800mhz, 1ghz took up the majority of operation time. Long story short, whatever combination I tested did not garner desirable results. That was a couple weeks ago, though. I've since given up on figuring it out.
Wait, are you having the same problem as me?Ive lost 5% battry just by having the screen on for 9 minutes...

What part is heating up? The battery? The CPU? The front, the back? Top or bottom?
It could be software. It could be hardware. How is your battery life?
Try installing a fresh version of Viper with limited apps and see if that helps. If it does, reinstall your apps gradually in case one is using too much CPU.
If that doesn't work try a different ROM for a week and see if that changes anything.

If memory serves the bottom of the phone is where the CPU is. So you are overpowering the CPU somehow....
Do you have a CPU monitoring app? So you can see what load the CPU is under at all times? I'm betting you'll find that it's pushing to the max allowable clock speed and/or being used at 100% most of the time.
Are you using the Performance governor on your kernel, or something like it? Try putting the kernel at Conservative and setting the max clock speed at like 1188 and see if that helps. If it does then we'll have isolated the problem. If it doesn't....I dunno...
And again, how is your battery life?

That's hot, but what kind of load is it using most often?
10%? 100%?
In system tuner look at the TIMES menu. You should see the processor being offline most of the time. If you see it online at a high frequency most of the time then something's wrong.
But you've got to let System Tuner be installed for a while before you have viable results. At least several hours.

ok tomorrow use my phone normally with system tuner reg active (i post log with temp and freq tomorrow)
Also try a different kernel for a few days.
And use the conservative governor to see if that makes an impact as well. You don't have to stick with that governor forever if it doens't provide enough performance. Just try it and see if it makes a difference.

Kind of a noob here but I got my HTC Sensation XE back from repair not more than a week they did a software update and I'm on the stock ICS ROM with HTC Sense 3.6 I think 3.33, anyway, using it for 10-15 minutes by just browsing through the homescreen or settings makes my phone warm up like crazy, to around 52 degrees celsius it's not yet uncomfortable whilst holding but very annoying. When I play for example Lazors for 10 minutes it heats up to 65 degrees celcius. Is there a ICS build I can use to lower the temperature, or should I undervolt and underclock my phone, and how do I go about doing that, or very drastically, send it back to HTC since it's still under warranty? Also tried CM10.1 build by Albinoman1987 and the phone heats up just as fast as on the stock ROM so I think it's a hardware fault. Any help on solving this would be appreciated. Just for clarification, the part where the SIM and SD card are located gets this hot NOT the battery.

Is there a ICS build I can use to lower the temperature, or should I undervolt and underclock my phone, and how do I go about doing that, or very drastically, send it back to HTC since it's still under warranty? Also tried CM10.1 build by Albinoman1987 and the phone heats up just as fast as on the stock ROM so I think it's a hardware fault. Any help on solving this would be appreciated.

Try an anker battery. It's supposed to keep the battery temperature very low.

It's not the battery, it's the part where the SIM and the SD card are located, the battery only heats up when that parts heats up.

Hmm, I think that's the CPU. When you repaired your phone, did you repair the motherboard?

When I sent my phone out for repairs it was for a screen and digitizer replacement. I already expirienced heat problems before repairs but from what I can gauge now, it's gotten worse after repairs, I can't exactly remember how hot it became since I didn't had it for 3-4 weeks.

Well, it sounds like a hardware problem, but I can't really tell you which part is the problem. I'm thinking that the CPU is overheating, and that my suggestion is to try different kernels, and to compare which keeps the CPU the coolest.
You can also install CPU tuner to view the temperature of the CPU and battery.

I use System Tuner Pro to monitor my CPU temp and usage and I actually found out that my 2nd core is disabled only 1 core is working.

Did you try turning on 2nd core?
Edit: is there an option to have both cores running at the same CPU frequency also?

Yeah I had them both run at the same frequency by enabling Force All CPU's online -> On boot completed. However this will last for a few seconds and then the 2nd core goes offline again.

Hi,
I'm using the same rom, and though I don't have heating problems, I have read tons of posts saying there are heating issues with this. Try another rom and post results.
JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.

Since you're using the exact same thing could you do me a favor? Install System Tuner pro on your device and use it by randomly browsing through settings and homescreen, don't launch apps, just use the phones basic functions, do that for 20 minutes, and post your temperature, my CPU gets to 53 degrees Celcius doing that, also my CPU1 is offline and CPU0 runs at 1GHz instead of 1.5, if you do have both CPU's online, it's already a hardware issue. And play angry birds for 10-15 minutes or Lazors, doing that brings it to 63 degrees celcius, if you have lower temperatures, I will send it to HTC immidiately.

Both my cores go up to 1.56 Ghz (I am not o/c), when under use.
I turned on GPS Bluetooth thetering, chrome youtube. Not above 56. 63 is way too high. Your kernel should have rebooted your phone at this temp.

Do your soft buttons get warm especially the first 2? Cause mine does, but no matter, after the weekend it's being picked up by HTC for repairs. It's quite a shame, I got it for almost 2 weeks now after repairs and I can't do anything with it for too long. Although the weird thing is, when System Tuner Pro says 53 or 63 degree celcius it doesn't feel any warmer.
