i havebeen using my phone for the last couple of hours to listen to music and do a bit of surfing whilst bored at work ... the temp has got upto 44 degree's , its not plugged in charging .... is this normal ??
the heat seems to come from the bottom of the phone .....
ive had some hot phones but this is ridiculous - htc really need to sort this before our phones ... excuse the pun burn out !
what temps have your phones got to ?? is 44 degree's ok or is it too high
i dont want to turn the phone screen off every time i use it for a while just to cool the damn thing down.
What phone are you using. I have n HD7 that gets really hot. I mean really if it wasn't for the development on HTC devices no one would be buying them. The build quality is poor from the processor to the display to the housing. That's why Samsung is a trusted manufacturer but lacks development its truly their only flaw.

dude he is clearly using a htc sensation i mean he is in the sensation forum from your response do you even have a sensation and yes its normal for awhile but it stops eventually
I use" Battery Indicator " app and i chill usually at 32-34C.. just played one level of plants vs zombies and im at 42C kinda ridic if u ask me i usually put it down at 41C or beyond to let it cool down
Yep using sensation - the heat is crazy .... ill try the app
how long do i have to put up with this heat before it settles ???
the temp doesnt seem to come from the battery as it radiates at the bottom
i cant believe htc released a phone which causes so much heat - will a firmware release sort it ?? i wonder

BUt relax i think it's normal, is a dual core phone, my Galaxy SII have the same problem but arround the camera, and the screen gets really hot to...
I can't say what of the two gets hot.

Cool it man I'm using the xda app for android and it doesn't exactly tell you where you are unless you navigate there yourself. Also don't ask me why and how I got here I just saw an interesting topic an decided to add my 2 sense. Had a sensation and it crapped out on me within 3 hours. Got a second one same thing after 3 days it crapped out to.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
well today mine got up to 44 but that was my fault. i always take the case off when charging it and i forgot to do it. also i was using it during this.
the case reduces heat dissipation. as soon as took off the case it went down to 38.
so i recommend that if you have a case on your phone and you see or feel that is getting too hot, take off the case.
I wouldn't want to say it's normal however I've had at least 3 sensations that were hitting around 43 to 45deg C just on battery while using Google Maps or browsing the web. The reps (all three working at the time) in the store found it strange that the phone was getting so hot just to the touch.
May have to underclock our devices like the iPhone. shouldn't be much of a difference considering it has a dual core processor right?

The most important isnt the Frequency, the most important is the voltage in the processor...
On SGSII, you have practically the same voltage at 1.2Ghz than 1Ghz or 800Mhz...
So i think is the same on Sensation... lower voltages, or you never get decent temperatures.
Am I being to simple here or is it just the fact so much tech is in the handsets now that it will obviously get hot? I would of thought this is the norm for phones nowadays and without sticking a fan on the back there is nothing that can be done?
Can we compare this to a PC? What temp do processors run at on a PC, and is there a limit before they lag or fail?

You cannot compare a smartphone to a PC, due the pc have an active cooling, and an smartphone have a passive one...
So, the smartphone will get more hot than a PC.
This temps are good, but think this components are more delicated than a pc, so the temperature isn't good for her life.
Played 15min of asphalt hd and the phone got very hot. I took off the back cover off to investigate and noticed the microsd is located at the bottom of the phone. The microsd was untouchable. Hope the device heat will not damage it.
All HTC devices have inbuilt thermal protection. If the phone gets too hot it will shutdown and/or reboot.

Mine got up to 52C while outside using the GPS Saturday.
i think the highest mine has got is around 115deg. (around 46C). this is rediculous i think since it only happens when i play a game for like 20 min..browsing the web reaches around 107 sometimes. but im past my 2 week remorse period so i cant return/exchange the phone at t-mobile, dont know what to do since some ppl say this is normal for being a dual core and wut not, but then not everyone has these overheating issues
Hello, I got a new HTC sensation a few days ago and I've noticed an odd problem with my screen. I've heard of the overheating battery, but for me that isn't the problem. Oddly enough the only thing that overheats is the actual touchscreen, mainly the bottom portion with the haptic feedback buttons. The screen only overheats if the phone is in use for a period of time, but if it's sleeping then it stays cool. I just wanted to know if this is common and if I should be concerned with it.

For me the issue of screen was never there, it only appeared yesterday (its been more than a month since i bought my sensation). Yesterday i was playing a game and the battery was at 8 % so i plugged the charger and kept playing for another 15 minutes. When i exited the game and then after 5 minutes i checked i found that screen's bottom portion was heated up and not working properly. Launching other applications and doing weird stuff. I checked the temperature and it was at 40, i let it cool down and when temperature reached 37, the screen has become less hot and it started working properly and is fine since then.
The only thing that i m worried abt is if that heating might have caused some permanent damage to screen.
Have any of you owned an android device before? Pretty much all of the ones i have had heat up ESPECIALLY When connected to wifi,charging and playing games.~Only difference is this one has more than TWICE THE POWER of any of my old devices, i would worry if it didnt get hot.Just my 2 cents

I have owned a fair few phones and had every android t-mobiles released in my hand for at least 48 hours and non show heat problems like some of these devices.. i think when the undervolting is done and a scalling the problem is decreased.. But my first sensation died while on charge and was stupidly hot round the touch buttons.. My second sensation hardly gets hot but is now awaiting UPS to take it in for a power button repair..
The architecture of the chip and the expected heat output should not cause the other components of the phone or the chip die to critically fail.. These are the first generation dual core cpu's and I am sure they will learn by the mistakes made with having the ariel's etc in the wrong places.. shame we have to be guinea pigs.. Will be good to see if they have took notice and the XE doesnt suffer some of the issues..
the back cover issue has certainly beeen attempted to be address'd they have 3 revisions of it out so far...

Hey guys. I'm a new T-Mobile customer with an HTC MyTouch4G Slide (or the Doubleshot if you prefer). I came from Sprint with a Samsung Epic 4G.
For the most part, I love my doubleshot (even if I miss the screen size of the Epic), but I've been experiencing something weird. Every couple of days my phone will just randomly reset of its own accord.
I exchange the phone after the first few times this happened, and the second few. This is my third straight Doubleshot now, and I thought I was in the clear until it hard reset last night without me asking it to.
Relevant info: this has occurred with phones that were both S-ON and S-OFF, rooted and unrooted, stock ROM and with ROMs made by both CK23 and Undead.
Is anyone else experiencing this with their Doubleshot, and do you have any suggestions on fixing it? It's not a major dilemma, more of an annoyance, but I figure it's a $600 phone - it shouldn't do crap like that.
Never had or even heard of anyone else with this issue. How do you carry your phone, in your pocket with other kinds of electrical devices?
Just throwing random stuff out there because I've never head of this (not saying it cant happen)
If I'm out and about it's in my pocket with absolutely nothing else. No keys, no coins, no other gadgets. I'm a bit paranoid about keeping my screen as scratch free as possible (yes, I have a screen protector).
If I'm not out, it sits on my desk near a couple of Acer monitors and two small Sony satellite speakers for my computer.
Do you think the magnets on those speakers could be affecting your phone? I remember on older TVs if you kept speakers next to it, it would distort colors and picture
Not likely. The magnetic drivers in these satellites are tiny to begin with. My phone isn't that close to them, and there are few, if any, parts inside a phone like this which are susceptible to weak magnetic interference.
Seeing as how this hasn't really happened to any others, here's some ideas:
Are you running modaco recovery 4.0.0.9?
Since it has happened to you on several phones, do you think it could be software related? Maybe there's something which is running process(es) in the background which are causing your phone to freeze up and become unresponsive at which point it simply resets itself.
Yes, as to MoDaCo Recovery 4.0.0.9. It's entirely possible the problem could be software related, but I can't think of anything that would be consistently running on my phone to cause the problem.
I have a rather strong addiction to the built in task killer and tend to open it and run a "kill all" any time I'm done using my phone to ensure memory is already free for whatever game/ap I intend to run when I start up again.

That might be the problem right there. Try not doing that.
Task killers are a no go.

That doesn't make a lot of sense though. One, this is the one built into Android, so I can't imagine it hurts anything. Two, why are the resets seemingly random? This particular phone has only done it once, that I've noticed. The previous phones did it damn near every hour in some instances, a few times a day in others.
They don't appear to have any correlation to task killing.
OP, maybe you're really pressing the phone's limits with intensive use. Have you noticed that the phone and battery becoming hot after even 10 min or so of gaming/surfing/texting,etc? Perhaps the battery is overheating, which causes these random reboots. It's only a guess though...
Oh and I hate how the battery gets so hot. Anyone else experiencing this dilemma? My previous Android phone's battery didn't become nearly as hot as the MT4GS's.
No the task killer is only to kill sense items and basic apps. HTC added it not Google.

I am having the hot battery issue too. Even with the Anker 19 mah battery... I swear it actually could cook something. My boyfriend has the same phone, and it doesn't happen to his.

Anthonayy, nope. Not really. I can go more than a day without needing to recharge with my usage pattern. I am not a heavy user.
Undeadk9, even if the task killer is only to kill sense items and basic apps, I'm not using it to kill anything besides that. Also, my use of the task killer has shown no apparent correlation to the rebooting. The reboots are seemingly random. Typically they occur when I am *not* using the phone. I'll look over and all of a sudden, boop! My phone is resetting itself. It might happen far more often than I think, but I've only witnessed it one time with the current phone.
I may have over-exagerated my use of it before. I typically just use the task killer before I open a memory intensive game (like Asphalt) because the games tend not to run right if I try to open them without enough available RAM (big shock).
Seconded.
I have not rooted and run a stock mt4gs and have had this happen once every 3-7 days. Again sometimes I am using it and sometimes not. No apparent cause.
I did just chalk it up to a bad out of memory error, and the device just resets as a failsafe.
In re: to hot batteries the Anker has been a big win in that area. It will heat up once in a while but not nearly as much. I have had the reset occur with both batteries (OEM and Anker). Also the reset is not a problem just a minor annoyance.
I haven't ever experienced a hot battery. On my G2 and wifes Glacier both got hot batteries big time.

@ first I thought it was a rom problem, then I remembered it happened once with stock.
To anyone having reset issues. You need to do a warranty exchange. That is not a known issue with this device. Rooted or not.

We're talking about the phone resetting, if the Sense interface is rebooting, we got another issue. lol
I just bought Samsung Skyrocket phone from ATT, initially after about 20 mins of video or voice chat phone was getting really heat up at the back by the camera. I exchanged the device but still the same issue. Is this just how Skyrocket works or is there a setting which can be changed? It is getting heat up than normal phone
Mines been fine. The only tome it'll her hot is if I'm playing gta + charging the phone.
Or if I'm talking + charging; and even then its after like 5 minutes of use

They get warm under constant use. Make sure your battery is seated well. If it causes issues with the phone exchange it again, otherwise I think it is normal for these phones.
Any phone will get warm (not hot) with prolonged use. My inebriated girlfriend kept me on the phone for 2.5 hours last night. I wouldn't say it was ever more than "warm." By no means uncomfortable.
Same problem. After 15 mins of talk time i wouldn't be able to hold the phone close to my ears. I don't two devices can be wrong, its probably something wrong with the manufacturing of Skyrocket. I am very disappointed and returning this back unless someone here has a trick to reduce that heating? Thanks
Try charging and running GPS at the same time, and you can cook your hand. I was guiding my wife yesterday trying to find car dealers and with the phone plugged into a car charger + running GPS, I had to set it down because it was getting too hot to hold.
Doesn't seem much different from any other phone I've used GPS extensively on, other than it got to those temps a lot faster than most. I mostly figured that was related to the fact that it's such a thin device.
If I use navigation while I'm driving, it gets more than warm.
If I charge it while navigating, it definitely gets really hot. I believe it may even overheat and the GPS turns itself off temporarily for a minute.
It gets warm during phone conversations.
Other than that, it stays cool doing anything else like playing a video for even hours.

Hmmm...then really whats the point in having this phone when other phones do not have this pbm
have not had any issues with the phone, only been warm when tethering via hotspot
Mine gets pretty toasty when charging and talking and using GPS, but I've got a case on it as well (which probably isn't great for the battery) but I don't notice the heat as much because of the case.
Check your actual battery temperature and see what it is when it is warm and post the results here
Mine gets warm if it's sitting in my pocket in an area w/ spotty connection. Needless to say, my battery also drains very rapidly when this happens, too.
dumb question..how do i check?
Mine gets heated under extensive use...I used wifi and slacker for 3 he's and if was warm.
rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
I tried the following:
i) rooted the phone
ii) removed all att apps
iii)disabled 4g
Used for 15 mins to make a call, still same issue it gets rediculously hot. I can say for sure it is definitely gets hot than a normal phone.
Wanted to give ONE last try, exchanged the phone at att store and this phone also had same issue. I gave up and returned the phone. I might get a S-2.
I would just wait...at this point there are at least 3-6 new devices coming out and the sr and s2 will be old news

See the problem is, because of the nature of smartphones, and that android is actually a linux os, many problems people face are'nt actually hardware problems. They are problems caused by installed apps and settings the user themself had done. Dumbphones, blackberrys and iPhones lock off this functionality, which is y I don't consider them a computer in ur hand, android is. That being said it is both a blessing and curse, this flexibility we have

Guys, I would like to know if any of you are having the same experience that I am having right now.
My Samsung Galaxy S3 is overheating to a point that it can burn me a little if I have it inside my pocket.
Is this normal for a device that's not even rooted?
Some people told me to give it back but I would like to know first, cause I seriously hate talking to these people from the help desk.
Any help will be appreciated
Dunno - i've been playing a lot of games ( glwg, asphalt 7, shadowgun etc...) web browsing, pdf editing and viewing and generally using it for what it can do.
Haven't had any overheating problems in the few weeks i've had it, been using that way both in an otterbox defender and naked.
I've seen here and there others mentioning overheating issues but i've yet to experience them firsthand.
My last device suffered some painful to the touch overheating issues which were completely solved by ditching the stock battery and going with an aftermarket one. I've also seen some reference to this being a fix here too.
Not having overheating issues and having been pleasantly surprised with the life of the stock battery for the screen size of the device, I haven't gone aftermarket yet so can't give a firsthand account of how that helps, if at all, but figured i'd toss out what little i've seen so far.
I haven't had any major battery issues until this weekend. I used Google Navigation for 4 hours in the car while charging. I was only 10 – 15 minutes away from my destination when my phone shut itself off...when I needed it most! I tried rebooting...nothing.
I haven't experienced any issues with my S3. However on my previous Galaxy Nexus I did, once the cause was a bad rom/kernel combination the other time later on the battery just gave up on me. I called Verizon and asked for a battery replacement...I told them that I have used another battery of my wife's phone since she owned the same device at the time and with her battery the phone would work just fine without over-heating. The Verizon support guy sent me an extended battery for the inconvenience. I'm always lucky Verizon. Hope this helps.
I have.....not really concerned...bc i had that same problem with my og evo 4g and 3d......

When you sell over 10 million of them a few are bound to be bad (heck 1% failure rate gives 100,000 bad batteries). That said it doesn't seem to be a common problem so I would definitely hold out for a free (to you) replacement.
I find my phone gets hot when I'm in low service areas.. I would venture to guess it's a radio issue..

During about a 10 min email \ web visit with my S3 after a workout, I noticed that the phone was physically hot, to the point I thought it might be too hot. This, coupled with a "no sim" message today, at random, and some crappy battery life, is driving me to visit the local verizon store tomorrow and get it exchanged, just in case. (still in the 14 day window)
Will let you know if it's any better for me.
This is a common problem?

The "no sim" message is, but I can't seem to find a real fix that will work in the US yet. I have seen cell towers blamed to sim cards not being clean to wifi screwing with things. So, I am not sure what really is the root of the problem.
With regards to heat, not sure. It feels like it's hotter than it should be, with normal use. Hotter than my iPad gets with constant use.
I only feel my phone getting slightly warm after playing games for a while. But that happened with my last two smartphones so I'm not really concerned. About as warm as my DInc2 and nowhere near as hot as my LG smartphone.

No problems here running latest cm10.
I exchanged my initial S3 today at the local Verizon store. I explained it was running hot, the battery life was abysmal, and I had the dreaded "no sim". The salesman and manager started to explain to me there was an update and they couldn't fix it... for about five minutes, until I asked if they could explain how the 14 day return policy worked. They immediately said mine was DOA and would be happy to give me a new phone. Five minutes after I got home from the store, I got a "no sim" message... starting to think its definitely a cell tower \ verizon software issue. Oddly enough, my battery drain is a lot better, so it wasn't all for naught!
My phone does get pretty warm at school, but I chalk that up to having terrible service while indoors. Other than that, it doesn't get that hot.
