As a side note I live in Arizona, hope the phone can handle 115 temps, praying it can.

I also live in AZ. The temperature doesn't affect the phone much when using it normally. However the phone tends to freeze up when using Copilot GPS, because to heats up quite a bit.

Summer has not started yet, the phone is only a month old. I guess the question should be asked to EVO 4G users, It has been in the wild for a year.

My EVO did alright up until about a month ago I dropped it one good time and it began to not handle any ounce of heat. Here in Florida weather. Thanks for the heads up on that app thanks a ton!

Yes, I am experienced the same thing on my EVO, as well as my HD7. The heat tends to warm up the phones just a bit, as long as I don't stay in the sun too long.
Btw, the app is called Battery Doctor

I will be Tampa in about a month, guess we will see if humidity could cause problems then.

46 C isn't an overheat condition, but it's getting close. Your health condition still says "good". My phone went to 49 C yesterday when I plugged it into a new 2.1 amp car charger, and the battery health message changed to "OVERHEAT". I don't believe the charger caused it, since I unplugged the phone, let it cool down, then happily used the charger without heat issues again. I've used a 2.1 amp wall charger routinely as well.
I have an iPhone 4 and I tried running a GPS app on it while mounted to my dash. The combination of the app and the sunlight shining on that black glass cause that phone to shut down with a heat warning pretty quickly.
BTW, the HTC Battery Widget will give you full battery details including temp if you tap it.

I once used the phone in a car using the car dock on a sunny day last week. After driving for more than an hour and 15 minutes, the phone started to flash both amber and green LED's in sequence. When I was looking for the reason why the lights are flashing, I accidentally tapped on the battery widget I have installed on the home screen, and it said it was 50.9 degrees Celsius. I unplugged the phone, shut it off for about 10 minutes, and the temp went down to about 32 degrees Celsius.

I was in Florence when my phone got to 113 degrees. I think it was getting so hot because it was looking for a 4g signal when there was none. I entered # * # * #4636 # * #. To turn off the 4g and my temperature dropped by 5 degrees.

So after todays update i returned my Thunderbolt

Its gone, todays radio made the phone even worse for me, always had a crap signal to begin with but it got almost unusable after the update, i was gonna get a charge but......the store said they have moved back the date to a TBA again, he also said they bionic has been cancelled, i was left with no option but to go back with the iphone, i almost went with a galaxy S, but ive had one of those upto getting my TB and didnt really wanna go back to something i had already had..
To sum it up, the TB is a great device that lacks the testing it required, it seems to have been rushed out with horrific battery life even with custom roms its still crap for heavy users, and poor signal..
Ill buy one again if they get there crap together and fix the obvious faults, but until Verizon releases a good dual core android im gonna have to stick with what i know.

Cool story, bro.

cool story bro, tell me again with subtitles.

I don't notice any change after the update

ThunderBolt isn't for everyone I guess. I love 4G and I can work with the small battery.

Yikess......not sure where you live, but I get fantastic 4 g everywhere in Chicago, have had 2-3 random reboots since I bought on day 1 (which could be less that the reboots on my Dinc), and get reasonable battery life, best phone I have yet to own.

Not to crap on your post , but I took my ip4 back because of bad service. My TB will hold service where the ip4 wouldn't. I will take service over battery anyday.

Interesting.... You took it back, after being rooted and applying the update (that's what your other post said) sounds like someone may have messed up...

I just had 4G turned on in my city (Sacramento) a few minutes ago.. I've had the phone for a while and it rocks!!!.. I am surprised you've had so many issues with your phone.

Yeah and at least you can change the battery when it dies.. You can't even do that with the iPhone, what a great "feature". Two batteries and a stand alone charger only cost $10 on eBay. Besides I get over a day of battery anyways. I think the real problem existed between the phone and the ground...

I've loved my TB since day 1 and have no problems with it other than a slow to find me GPS. I love this phone and would have to agree that the problems for many seems to be between the phone and the ground. Rooted with DasBAMF 1.6.3 FTW!

SGS II SGH-I727 exploded in pocket. Photos inside

My friend almost lost his nuts! He said he heard a sound, a burning sensation on his leg and as he pulled this piece of junk out of his pocket he smelled burning. There was smoke coming out of his pocket and out of the phone. LoL, He said he was scared.
My friend didn't even own this phone for two weeks before it nearly burned him! He said he wasn't even using it; just idling in his pocket and hadn't been used for awhile.
Here's some photos:

Funny, I was just reading a day or so ago about an iPhone 4s that caught fire and thought to myself.... "Well, that'll never happen with a Skyrocket".
doh.

Yup didnt you guys here yet? Because of this there is now a recall...all skyrocket owners must reaturn them to the closest at&t store they will be exchanged at no cost for a at&t galaxy nexus which was not supposed to be released until christmass day... but they are releasing tomarrow instead

Sent from my Google Nexus S.

was probably a fluke, i dont know how you would cross battery connections without some sort of a jumper/maybe a liquid that would cuase this. its like putting 2 nine volt batteries ( the square ones end to end ) eventually they will melt/maybe explode from the heat building up.
i can see this happening if something small got caught in between the battery and phone connection while re-seating the battery.

If it is truely an AT&T skyrocket, maybe AT&T sent the remote distruct command when your friend put a Roger's SIM in his phone.....

this thread would be on bgr

Will be interesting to see unfold. We had a local Guy claim that a motodroid exploded near his face last year. He went public and went after Motorola claiming glass shards cut up his face etc. I want to say they determined dude had dropped the phone which cracked the screen and everything beyond that was staged.

the problem was obviously a battery fire, not the phone itself
this could mean it was a faulty battery or the contacts might have got wet by the closest source of spill
after all it was near his balls, according to the OP
just return it to rogers and get an exchange, you'll need a new SIM card & SGH-i727R anyways

Verizon SIII 32GB Blue Brief Review Video

Guys earlier I posted an unboxing video in another thread. That video is right here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BryoOlaWQaU&feature=plcp
Then I spent the next 4 or 5 hours trying to get the freaking thing activated. That finally happened, but I haven't had much time with the phone. Anyways, here's a quick video showing the boot up, and some speed tests on 4G LTE. This phone is beast! (it may be sideways for a bit but I've rotated it to the right in Youtube, sometimes it just takes a while)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wovT50uGfLw&feature=plcp
Feel free to ask questions, I can try to post more videos over the next couple days but my schedule is literally booked for the next 2 days so I'll do what I can.

Good job

It's looking like the Verizon version is going to have sweet sweet battery life!
The phone starts at about 50% and I still have stellar life out of that! I had rebooted it and connected it via usb to try and get adb shell. Otherwise it would show nearly 20hrs of battery at this point!

Have they fixed that 34ma battery drain issue yet? Officially? I'm a nexus dude but seriously considering returning it and getting in on one of these s3's. Just switched to Verizon and I love, love, love the network. Haven't been with vzw since '07.
I'd also like to know if there is still the bleeding/weeping/leakage of the back lights on the white version? Like there was on the white galaxy s 2.
Thanks.

I'm not aware of this battery drain issue you speak of. If it exists on my phone, I can obviously obviously with it. The cell standby numbers are way too high, especially considering I was on full LTE coverage all night. My epic4g had a similar issue and it was fixed via software fairly quickly.
Mine is blue so I can't comment on your other question. Yes, the Verizon network is AWESOME!

"The cell standby" that is the Battery drain issue he is referencing, it is not really a "real" drain issue, more a reporting issue.

Even with the drain issue that battery life is awesome. Thank you for posting your initial thoughts and battery stats.

After I get fully charged up again today I will leave it off any charge and post the full drain stats.

Normal temperarure of the tab

I am using cm9 and i am under the impresion that the tab is getting warmer then with the stock rom. Also i have the a6 kernel.
I am using the normal speeds min300 and max1008 hrz. Wat is the normal temp for the tab2. I am getting 38 degrees after using the tab for about an half hour. Is this normal?

How are you guys able to measure the internal temperature of your Tab 2. I was under the impression that it doesn't have a temp. sensor to measure it.

Various battery monitoring apps provide temperature information and I am sure there are some apps that simply provide temperature information alone.
I have been curious about what a good or "okay" temperature range is for this device.. Or any tablet really.

do not use CM9, it will break your warranty. And the custom kernel is bad, most xda developers are still immature kid who just want to toying with android
and if you overclock the cpu, your tab will be dead in 2 years from now
