Recently I've read that there are some battery temperature issues by OneX int'.
It rises up to 50 even 60 degree in a short period of time when using the Navigation, 3D game...etc.
Due to safety concerns, the OneX will automatically stop the battery from charging once the B-temperature arrives 50 degree.
I think it bothers a lot especially for navigation, if there is not much left or almost empty in the battery after you arrive the destination......
Please confirm if this still happens by HTC One XL (LTE) version.
Thank you
---here are some more Information..........
1.The LED indicators will blink in red-green-red-green....to tell you the battery is too hot (50 degree).
2.Switch to telephone-call mode, and use dailpad to input *#*#4636#*#* you can check your battery temperature here (thanks xfinrodx ).
3.Take 99 photos with burst mode in one shot (turn off the 20 shots limitation in advance) and do it couple times, could cause 50+ high temperature too?!

Haven't seen mine go above 37c. I've had my screen on for a couple hours, am about 1/2 way through downloading a 400MB game and it's sitting pretty at 29c. It is laying on a cloth on my desk, plugged in to an AC charger. Maybe I'll post back with temps after playing the game for a while if you care
Where do you find the temps?
*#*#4636#*#*
Standard Android trick.
Thx Is there a free widget we can download maybe?
Bah, certainly if you want more silly bloat. Use the ever powerful market search and pick one that doesn't ask for stupid permissions!

yes, please, I certainly wouldn't hold a heating pad in hand while playing games with this handy.
Can you also check the temp after taking 99 photos with burst mode in one shot (turn off the 20 shots limitation in advance) and do it couple times?
Thank you
Warmest I could get it was by playing a game through almost a whole battery charge. 38.8c is as hot as it gets for me... my Atrix used to hit 45-50 just looking at the home screen with no widgets and a static wallpaper.

I just had mine over 50degC... Wondered what the alternating green and red LED was and this came up in the search. I was streaming video over my WLAN and using the phone to do software decoding... Oops.
It's cooled down now.

Since you came by via the search, I am curious about your hardware version.
Is it International version with Tegra3 quad core or LTE version with Qualcomm S4 dual core?
Over 50degC? It will surprise me if its a LTE version.....
I have to agree I can't see mine go beyond about 35c hardly even with me playing on it all day. (Rogers One X).
It's the international Tegra chipset. I'm running ARHD.
Battery Monitor Widget and System Panel Lite are what I use to check battery temps. Today I was driving to my doctor appointment and listening to music with my beats headphones and my phone got to 98 F. It felt warm but my doctor told me that it's nothing to worry about because logic boards can withstand some pretty intense heat.
I had a 90 minute phone call the other day, half of which was on speaker, and noticed the phone was feeling 'hot'. so I checked and I was at 39C, not too bad.
my one x gets over 60 degrees too easily...
got one time 64-65 degrees just by using the augment app(which uses the camera)...
60 degrees also appear when shooting photospheres
over 50 degrees always appears when using the camera...
running aosp rom(happens in sense roms/stock aswell...)
That's normal when you're using apps like that.

Mine, after about 25 mins of use - gaming and surfing on the net - reaches 44 degrees celcius and bottom of the phone gets really hot.
This happens in normal use not while charging.
Is this normal?
What temps do you get?
Also I am experiencing signal drops for the gsm network, but I do not think this is related to heat issue.

Doesn't get that hot for me with hours of use gaming, surfing, playing music, etc. But yesterday when streaming music via 4G, charging in the car in the sunlight (N1 dock power cord), without the ac on on a 90 degree Fahrenheit day the thing was easily 100 degrees F. Hope it's just an issue with the charging cable and heat of the day combining.
mine has reached 113 degrees F just from playing peggle for around 20 mins...
Around 87F on average usage unplugged...
got to 110 degrees playing Cut the Rope
Mine reached 50°C while charging and an active app that kept the screen on. Outside felt cooking hot when I picked it up.
Mine got to 113 deg after only 10 min of playing fast five...really worries me as this is my second unit, first one was perfect built, no batt issue bt the power button was crooked than a MOFO lol..if this continues i mite return this one too, bt then I worry about getting another unit that has another issue...its like u can't win with this things

your new phone doesnt have the crooked power button? i thought everybody had that
Had a file transfer going while playing some games - ended up at around 50c with the bottom of the phone extremely hot.
When i stopped things and tried a reboot - phone went into a reboot loop - so went to pull out battery to hard reboot. With cover off -- very hot - not just battery but area with SD card / SIM is too hot to hold.
It would definitely burn my fingers if I tried to hold there.
Dammit, mine is also getting pretty hot. I wasn't even playing games on it when I noticed how hot it was getting. I was showing my family a few pictures on it, and in 5 minutes the lower part of the phone became really hot. Never had that happen with any other phone before. Hmm...

haha i thought the same too until someone posted a pic of their "normal" one and i was like hell nah, im returning mine for a diff one, which now has a perfectly level power button...problem is though that first one had no problems and the batt never got hot. this second one's issue is the batt gets really hot after a few minutes of usage in which the phone gets uncomfortable to even handle.
Yesterday on my road trip, I was using the GPS. Had it on for like one hour, and towards at end when I went to turn it off, I noticed that it was really hot on the back , especially towards the button area. Also the screen was really hot. Is this normal? By the way, I don't know how to check CPU temp, but I got a program and it showed the battery temp at 40c/104f.

I'm interested in this topic, so ran a test on my Vibrant.
Went into Google Nav and set a route. Let the phone sit on a table for 1 hour. Screen stayed on the whole time. The charge dropped from 98% to 80%, and the battery temp ended up at 31C (87.8F).
Two factors may have made the results somewhat better than yours. First it was in my air-conditioned house the whole time, rather than on the dash of my car under the sun through the windshield. Also, the screen brightness was set to lowest, rather than max as it likely would be in the car.
Once I get my Sensation replacement I can run a similar test on it.
What did you use for the temp?
My phone gets very hot when using the GPS. This is on my 45 minute commute to/from work. It is almost too hot to hold.
Sorry to troll but I was outside today and my evo shift heated up to 139 degrees and I was only running my music player. No ill effects from the intense temp either... Shocked the hell outta me to see it get so hot though. My solution was to put shifty on an air conditioning vent, after 20 mins, back down to 90 degrees...

Comparative and helpful 'trolling' is welcome!
I mentioned his in the Q&A forums but I average about a minute per battery % when using the GPS. At night in an air conditioned car my phone gets up to 39C with the GPS running. Yesterday I tried using it on the golf course like I have every other android phone I've ever own with Skydroid and the temp got up to 52C.
i'm getting another unit sent by t-mobile CS in a few days. i'm gonna extensively test it to see how it responds, i'll report back
Same thing occurred to my phone. I honestly have no idea if this is normal behavior as 3/4 phones had this heating issue either on the charger or off.
I am using my phone on GPS and my battery is getting very hot also. Just browsing the web is what I'm doing but should this happen when I'm not under direct sunlight or the phone on my car dashboard. Anyone else experiencing this and have a solution?
Newest version of Google Maps (ver 5.7) claims to have an update that improves battery power management during navigation.
Be aware that the Android Market app does not detect there's a new version. If you look at your apps Google Maps does not show a pending update, but if you select it the Update button shows up and it does the update.
Other good feature is the ability to download map segments for offline use in a 10 mi radius from any location.

I'm on Evo 3D and Gmaps 5.8 and my phone overheats with Navigation too.
Hello I ve seen some threads concerning this issue already but I couldnt get clear idea of the allowed temp of the sensation, some people said anything above 40 is dangerous and should return the phone, some said above 50 and while other said above 60....I get around 34~37 on average and have seen 45 with GPS, web browsing, games..is this normal? and does putting the sensation in a case bad for overheating problem? I use the case mate..maybe it traps heat slowing down the cooling...
I don't know about the actual temperature but I do agree that something is wrong. Yesterday I was charging my phone in the car while using Nav and I had the screen set at full brightness. The phone got extremely hot and the screen automatically lowered it's brightness to the lowest setting. I'm not sure if the heat built up is coming from the backlight, or the battery or what. I was thinking about returning mine, but from the sounds of it they are all having this issue.
My build date is 6/2/11. Can anyone confirm if the newer builds still have this issue?
hmm the temperature has to do with the battery I am going to see if I could get my battery replaced and see if anything changes...

well from my experiences with battery that they do get warm when you are charging them, i have tested my phone when charging and it does get warm but playing games and everything else i dont feel anything that crazy.
which model are you taking about the 4G or non 4G??
Mine does not get hot from charging, it gets hot from playing games..that when my phone gets over 40...and my phone is T-mobile 4g
ive caught mr sensation getting as high as of 47 in a hot car hooked up to my car stereo playing Slacker Radio for 30 minutes. It burnt my hands holding it and one time i was wearing my thin shorts and i accidently left slacker radio on ( most used app ) and it actually left a red outline of the phone on my leg!
I noticed overheating issue specially whenever brightness set to higher. Even automatic mode heat is there. I wrote to HTC customer service, they replied, it's normal !!!

Haven't noticed any very hot issues with the Sensation since I bought it June 17th.
Heya,
Last night I was playing Angry Birds in bed while plugged in a Kidigi dock. All is well. Now let me define some preconditions first.
The phone does get hot while:
1. Charging
2. Screen is on for a long time
3. Heavy CPU load
4. That goddamn hot weather isn't helping either
Right?
Put above conditions together. Temperature is 48.3C. I never thought I'd need to use a cooling fan on a phone, honestly. I did that to an overheating AMD desktop some time ago...
The thing is I knew there was something going on not by feeling the hot phone (remember the dock part?) but by seeing the LED strangely cycling through all three colors. Anyway I shutdown everything running, turned off the screen and kept my fingers crossed. The flashing stopped almost immediately as it dropped one degree in an instant. Took it 15 minutes to cool down to the normal 38C.
I looked around and didn't find a definitive answer for this one, even on HTC's site where they supposedly list notification color meanings. Therefore I now define a new one, let's call it "I'm just about to blow up now, k10xbye".
Has anyone else had such a drastic overheating case with this type of notification?

What was the third color? Mine only flashes orange for when its dying, solid for when its charging. Flashes green for notification, solid green when its fully charged.
Charging is orange.

I monitor my battery temperature by dialing *#*#4636#*#* which takes you into a section called testing, and then selecting battery information. This displays temperature along with other info. At one time, it actually said overheating. it has not happened again but if it does, I will seek a replacement unit. There is no way that any of this, your sceneraio or mine, is normal.
It's not normal. Heavier games with 3D don't do that. Max temp achieved was 42.

My EVO4G used to do that when I had it in the tank bag on my motorcycle listening to Pandora. The plastic cover would cause it to heat up and the led would cycle and it would stop charging and shut down.
There is a reason to this. The battery is mainly lithium. Lithium is highly reactive (read lots of very hot flames and sparks and excitement that you probably don't want going off near your girlfriend or dog or sensitive government documents). They use the same type batteries in RC aircraft, only lots bigger, and youtube will show some pretty spectacular lithium battery explosions, if you care to search them.
Imagine that going off in your pocket.
Ouch, a little....
Heh shutting down is reasonable, heating up till shutdown during normal use is not. And yes I watched those videos on YouTube when I got my wrist charger.

Hey guys. I'm from Brazil and I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920I). My previous smartphone broke almost a month ago, so I may have gotten unused to a high end smartphone. It turns out that it is feeling warm during light use like browsing or Facebook. I can't tell if it started after the firmware update because it was one of the first things that I did when I turned it on for the first time. The temperatures that I am recording hovers around 38 °C to 44 °C. When I switch from Facebook to CPUz it is recording around 52 °C but starts dropping right away reaching around 43 °C. It is not hot, but it bugs me since it doesn't seem right to an octacore smartphone feel warm when browsing.
*I've just recorded a 1 minute video in ultra HD and when I switched to CPUz the temperature was at 70 °C, but also started to drop, stabilizing a little at 51 °C.
I've already cleared the cache and did a factory reset.
Do you guys think that I received a faulty smartphone?
I have the same problem on SM G920F which i bought several days before sometimes it goes around 36c battery and 63-64 cpu with no good reason for , like light usage(like messenger,snapchat) it works fine but its heating up and feels quite annoying for hand did anyone experienced same thing, and will buying a case for phone at least make feel better for hand?
Well, my phone was at 48 °C - 54 °C when it was in my front pocket and running only 4 apps on background (WhatsApp, CPUz, browsing, and outlook). It is not even hot in Brazil right now. Honestly it doesn't seem right!
It is normal. The CPU is just too powerful for heat to not build up.
Rest assured I played Walking War Robots on my phone for an hour and a half until my phone was hot enough for me to not be able to hold it comfortably. Nothing happened, I let it cool down for 10 minutes before Fast Charging it.
If it does not show any overheating message then it is not a problem.
Well considering it was built to be premium model its kinda dissapointing , like being 5 minutes on snapchat or 10 minutes of light usage makes him warm and a LOT of worse phones cant heat unless you like play games 10 minutes or really load them.If i put a case its heating like 10-15 % more.
I m suspicious because i havent seen a lot of people complaing about heating verry few people complainted about this.But phone is really great only problem (for me) is heating.

Thank you, I appreciate it.
It makes sense that such a powerful CPU would generate some heat, but at the same time simple processes like these
shouldn't cause any level of warmness. I also checked the battery temperature which could be damaging for the phone
and it didn't raise the temperature as much the CPU. My phone had just 2 days of use, so I sent it back and I'm waiting for
a replacement. I will keep you posted.
