How hot is hot for the Tbolt?

Hey just wondering what should the average temp be for my phone. I'm running bamf 4.4.2 kernel at 1.47 max and 245 min. I'm around 99.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that normal?

Yes high is around 130. I usually hit 115 when charging and using a lot of data.

Holy crap! And I thought it was getting hot. Man you get it up there. I have nothing to gripe about. Lol. Thanks for the info.

The phone feels hot but these parts were built to work in extreme temps. All of my phones have always gotten hot. Even my Apple products way back when would heat up quickly.

That may be so, but I doubt that's a good thing. After trying a bunch of different kernels, I settled on one where my battery seldom gets above 100F even under load while charging. Heat is the enemy of electronics.

My phone usually stays around 90 when charging usually data is what throws it up.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Mine got up to 125F (and drained the battery) searching for / trying to hold onto a weak 4G signal when I was sitting in a meeting. In addition to flashing a new kernel and the new radio, I now turn off data if I'm heading into a meeting (which I suppose is better meeting etiquette, anyway).

I once hit 124F and got an overheat condition. This happened while charging the battery in the car dock on a sunny day for more than an hour. That's with the stock ROM and previous radio. Haven't tried charging the TB in the car dock on a sunny day for more than an hour yet with BAMF 1.5 NTE with the 4.4.2 kernel. On idle, I noticed that with the new ROM and radio, the battery is a mere 75F. The stock ROM and previous radio on idle went as low as 90F.

My high is 47-48c. Has been up there a few tines. If it stays there too long it locks up. I then have to perform a battery pull.

if its hot enough to make the phone act up (laggy, locking up) then its too hot.
charging while wireless tethering while having the cpu cranked up can get a phone too hot in about 10 minutes.

[Q] Battery Charging time more than 4.5 hrs

I have installed Infused ROM, still the charging time is same as before. Is there a way to decrease my charging time?
TIA

NO
NO there is no way to do this

4.5? damn you must run your battery down to 5%.

Entropy's kernel uses alternative charging logic that supposedly charges faster at low battery. I don't know how effective it is, but you could give it a shot.

Yes, I am charging from 5%, Even if I charge from 50 to 100 it will take more than 2 hours.
the phone is charging 22 to 25% per hour. I dont think a phone should to such a long time.

I didn't understand anything in this..

Try deleting the battery stats when you are at 100%... you can do this manually or with apps like " battery calibration" free on market, or go to system and delete batterystats.bin manually, try everything i guess.
I was having same trouble when i used to change between ROMS a lot now i decided to stick with Infused 1.6 Froyo did the "recalibration" with battery calibration app, and takes a few days for the battery stats to rebuild correctly again.
But now it hardly takes my Infuse 3 hours to FULLY charge.
And you can recharge at any point even if its on 80% or 95% if you have a power aroudn charge while not using... this batteries dont get "used" for recharging them before "time" they dont do memory you can recharge at any time.. there was a whole thread about that somewhere here on XDA sorry i cant post the link just maybe try the simple way.... recalibrate on battery calibraiton and give it a couple days to generate an accurate stats.
Also recharge while not using (working....eating...sleeping...)
If nothing works maybe... get a new battery? may be faulty i guess.
Hope it helps

Clearing battery stats does NOTHING on the Infuse, or any of the first-gen GalaxyS devices, or any other Samsung phone with the MAX8998 PMIC for that matter.

it's funny (sad?) that you need to say this over and over again every single day. you'd think people would come across another one of your posts, which are everywhere, where you said this exact same thing.

Then you need to figure out the common denominator because either your cable, charger, or you aren't doing something right.
That amount of time to charge isn't normal.
Have you also tried pulling the battery for a few minutes then charging it yourself full? Don't power down, just pull the battery.

maybe try draining the battery all the way to 0. Recharging over night interrupted. And doing it once more. Not sure it will help, but I'd try anything.

Install CurrentWidget.
In the settings, near the bottom, there are settings for "operator on value" - Set it to divide by 1.83.
Then plug in your device when it's discharged below 80%.
Currentwidget should report 600 mA if you applied the correction factor above. If it reports 1100, you forgot the "operator on value" settings.
If it reports 475 mA, your device thinks it's connected to a USB charger for some reason.

The problem is people keep on coming from other devices, and they've been trained so long by HTC devices (most of which use coulomb counter fuel gauges) that they need to "recalibrate" their battery and let it "settle in".
Note that the GSII may also require battery calibration - it does have an updated fuel gauge chipset. But ours does not.

12 to 13 % in 30 mins, ie 4 hours to full charge, that is the problem...

Is it the same with phone off and charging as with phone on
and charging
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Phone asleep and charging and phone completely off should be fine. Phone in use will take longer.
Also, the reason I said to measure at less than 80% is because as you reach 85-90%, you hit 4.2 volts and the charge circuit goes into constant-voltage mode - in this region, charging takes longer.
Measuring time to go 10-15% is WAY too inaccurate for any remotely decent estimate of total recharge time. ESPECIALLY if that 10-15% is near the top of the battery. Our fuel gauge probably has on the order of +- 3-4% error. For example, once I saw it drop 10% in 30 minutes, but then it recharged 10% in only 5 minutes. The 10% "drop" wasn't real.

ATT REFUSES TO EXCHANGE what do I do?

I have had horrible battery life, I've got a replacement battery etc from att and they REFUSE to replace my phone! I'm still under warranty, have no scratches, cracks or water damage, I bought my phone in december of last year, and my battery only lasts 6 to 7 hours! What can I do!

Yeah. My previous thread. About my battery problems. Don't post if you aren't gonna answer my question... Just saying.
I have had a battery replaced, I've reverted to stock rom, updated, etc, done everything I can, every fix etc. I can't get near the 30 hour battery lifes I can see. Why would I get 6 hours MAXIMUM no talk time, 400-500 texts a day, data lte and gps and bluetooth off, brightness down. Thats pathetic battery. Idk what else to do.
The reason Given for not replacing is that is the average battery use. But on the specs it reports 7 hours of TALK TIME.

How long would your battery last with data on? Whenever I leave
wifi on, my battery drains. For everything else, it lasts the whole
day without charge on moderate to heavy use with lte.
Maybe try your luck with a different att rep?

With my previous skyrocket, I would easily get 14 + hours.

Relax. He's only offering some information to help you. The battery life on your phone is on par for that device. I have the original Galaxy S II and I average about 8-9 hours with heavy use, and an entire day with normal use. Just about all dual core CPU Android based super phones are going to have mediocre battery life. That's just the way it is. You can always get an extended battery, which should give you an additional 3-4 hours of useage. Aside from that, there's not much you can do about it.
What exactly do you expect us to do for you? You've tried other ROMS, a different battery, lowering the brightness, etc. If they sent you another battery, that means you have two batteries now. That should be plenty to get you through the day. You could always try trading the Skyrocket for a Galaxy S II, which is a better phone anyways as it has the Exynos CPU and slightly better battery life.
BTW, 400-500 texts per day is a LOTof screen on time, which would e plain the 7 hour battery life. And leaving WiFi on will also kill ypur battery life. WiFi is a huge power hog. My guess as to why AT&T refuses to swap your device is because you rooted it and installed custom ROMS. (which voids the warranty). And believe me, they know if you did that because they check the custom ROM counter.

what is your screen on time? You sound like you use your phone slightly less than i do. Im lucky to get 5hrs out of my phone. Been this way with every smart phone ive had since the original droid.....and ive had a lot. 400-500 texts means your screen is on every couple of minutes.

I would agree with this. Display time is a huge battery drain. In fact, it's usually my largest battery drain (even more than LTE).
If you only turn on Wifi when it's available, then you will save battery because Wifi is more power efficient than 3G/4G. Otherwise, it will drain battery searching for a network. This also means if you use NO data, then turning off Wifi completely will save power.

Turning on and off your phone that many times will do it in six hours.

to add---talk time assumes the screen is off for that time.

Call them back again and tell them that now your phone got hot and then shut off. say that you used your friends skyrocket battery to see if device still worked and it didnt. they will send a new one.
make SURE you tell them that it just got hot, and shut off. now it wont turn on at all.
Also, if the person you are talking to wont help you just say fine, hang up, call back. still doesnt work? repeat.
Im really not joking. just the other day i had to call them 3 times just to send me a replacement device.
Good Luck!

It depends on what you do. If you play some really hardcore games. It's going to be like that. If you just browse the web you should be able to achieve the 5 hours mark. It can also be that the battery memory is not accurate.

do a restart after that 1hour and see if battery level pump up again..
if it is .... it would be fine

Ya I've noticed if I restart it does jump battery up a bit... But that drains very quickly too....
Longest battery I have gotten was 16hr on wifi... But the screen on time max was 2 1/2 hours... Which makes no sense cuz my s2 has a smaller battery but I could use it a lot more

I have the same rom and kernel but using the stock battery and I have never got more than 2hours on hsdpa browsing. It is extremely annoying to not have the ability to go somewhere without carying a charger. But at the same time I found out that my phone has very good battery life when sleeping. It never drains more than 3% over night (7-8 hours). So the problem is that the screen drains battery quite a lot. Also my phone gets really hot in the lower area of software buttons, is anybody else experiencing this?

Yep that overheating happens to me as well if I'm playing a game or something for 15 minutes or so... I read that that's a hardware issue with no fix :S...
And yep that's the same battery life I get... Which is very sad ... Really no way to use this phone as a work phone with the pathetic screen time -_-

Hi All,
Are your Exynos Note 20 Ultras getting hot? From my use, light browsing to watching videos or light gaming the screen gets very warm and the rear is hot. Please let me know.

Yes, really disappointed with this so far. Mines getting pretty toasty just sat doing nothing causing the screen to be dim all the time.. nothing running in the background
My second day with it, I can literally watch the battery percentage go down... barely touched it today as have been pretty busy and was down to 19% at 17:00..
Charged it to full again, took offcharger around 20:15... again barely used it this evening, a few posts on here, bit of YouTube...its already down to 68%.
Battery usage shows 3 hours 44 minutes for the day.
Can't be right..

Mine gets very hot and the battery life is a joke. It's going back after the weekend unless this is some weird fluke which fixes itself after a few charge cycles

It was getting hot on the first day but it seems okay now.

It will get hot / warm during normal use.

Keep me posted lol. I was gonna buy this phone but not with this exynos news.

It's not amazing. But it's still in the learning phase and settling down. I wouldn't say anything definite until a week has gone, to give it time to settle and get through the usage and learning pattern.

People should only be concerned about this after several days of use.
Judging battery and temperature on a brand new device in the first 1 or 2 days is pointless.
After watching many reviews (of the Exynos model) I haven't heard anyone voicing this as a concern.

Yea I know. I wanted to chime in since I had the same issue on SD.

It got a bit warm (not terribly hot though) on the 1st day when it was still downloading apps, etc. Last 2 days have been good..no heat even on watching videos, video calls, occasional snaps. See my usage in the attachment. This was on the 2nd charge cycle and phone at 120hz (adaptive) and on wifi all the time.
(UK exynos version)

My Note 20 Ultra has never gotten hot. Warm yes, but not hot.

Day one it got hot, understandable as so much going on in setting up.
Day 2 and 3, no heating issues at all. Battery seems to be settling too.

This guy explains what is going on.

Mine works very well, I'm happy.

My Exynos gets hot for sure . Not sure why. My S10e Snapdragon never did

This is s20 ultra, in the Note 20 Samsung seems to manage the temperature, maybe different cooling system, anyway the gap in performance stills there and may be worst because now is the old ex990 against de new 865+ [emoji1787]
