I just picked up the sensation at a Walmart store and after setting it up and charging it a little I used a APP track walking mileage and the temp shot up to 109 + after only a few minutes. I shut the app down and checked it again and it still is 109. I let it set for a few minutes and then put it on the charger and it is 107 and holding. Is this normal for this device. It seemed to heat up right out of the box when I first turned it on. Anyone else have similar issues?
Edit: Temp went down to 96 and than I got a phone call which last about 30 seconds and it shot back up to 103. This cannot be right?
yeah after a lil while mine got pretty hot also
Mine has been on and idling for several hours and it is 73.4F while the room is 73.1F. Of course the connection type and strength will make a difference. I am connected to 4G at 3 bars.
Sensation getting hot & battery issue
Yes, mine too. Also got at Walmart yesterday. Battery is draining quickly even with maximized power saving settings. Begins getting hot with continued use within 5 or so minutes. Called HTC Support who suggested taking back to Walmart for warranty replacement.
Can anyone specify how long you have to actually BUY the phone after receiving your invite? From reading the OPO forums, I've seen 30 days and then your invite goes to next in line and then now I'm reading you only have 24 hours?
I don't intend in taking 30 days to buy the phone but at least a little more than 24 hours...

Hello, I just bought a gear s2 classic. And I updated the firmware. Now the battery life is not good at all. I mean is it normal at the begginning, until it gets stabilized or is this a bad unit? Thanks in advance!

I have had the same thing happen with 2 replacements. I waited a week on the first one and it didn't get better. (went from 100 to 50 percent over night) so I exchanged it. The second settled in after 3 or so days. I think this firmware version uses more battery though.
I don't have a problem like that with mine. In fact I took mine off the charger Friday morning before work. I was wearing a motorcycle jacket so I put it in a jacket pocket when I left work until I got home that evening. I forgot to take it out of the jacket pocket and put it on the charger until Monday morning. It was still up and running with 16% power. Mind you the watch was not in use the whole weekend but it kept its charge much better than I expected. I put it on the charger in the morning and just didn't wear it that day.
Mine isn't much better than my S7 Edge (if it even is). Still lasts the day though.
I can't get through half a day. I haven't really used the watch either. Charged it back to 100% before the gym. Used it just for HR with S health. After the gym I'm down to 20%. That doesn't seem right at all. Gps is off. 4g is off. Wifi is off. Screen was set to 5 minutes because it'd be nice to actually see my HR while I'm working out. I don't understand why the screen doesn't stay on during a workout. 8nc9nstantky have to tap the screen when it goes to AOD every five minutes.
I did just update the firmware yesterday so it has two more days before getting sent back. Between this and the Bluetooth issues on my Chromebook Plus, I am not too happy with Samsung at the moment. For the first time since I left my Treo for their flip palm phone I don't have a Samsung phone. I'd this keeps up, I'll have zero Samsung in the stable.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Moto G5 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Phone can reach 9h SOT easily when on wifi. Battery backup combined with overall performance are the best features in this phone.
Too much improvement coming from 2 yr old htc one m9+ and battery is atleast 2 to 3 times better than that of htc its crazy. I didnt expect this from 3000mah
I have not been able to use my G5 Plus enough to kill the battery. I've gotten to about 5 hours a couple of times with at least 40% remaining. My Pixel would be down to 40% before 2.5 hours.

It's depend on how we use, when we play the game the sot decrease and when we use simple video play like each movie offline the sot is high.
Moto have a gud battery backup, especially the processor done excellent work.
Viper ROM with Dolby / viper rooted stock kernel
At 53%
Best screen on time of any phone I've ever owned. Even better than my original Moto G. Which I didn't think was possible. Getting consistent 4 hours of screen on time at 50%. I
Amazed myself. Couldn't believe it. There are so many things that this phone does better than my lg g5, my dad s7, or the iPhone 6 it's crazy. My lg g5 would be dead by the end of the day when I pulled a 14hr day at work (in our hub 5-7 hr screen off YouTube red, than 5-7 hrs of screen on, maps,GPS , googling while driving around). Got home at 7 pm Friday with 40% (I did a top up charge mid day from maybe 65ish to 90ish.....) But still.....
I am once again impressed. Excellent phone. Wish I would have researched phones ...which I will do from now on. Could have bought another Moto with the money I spent on my lg g5 (extra battery, power button, etc)

Usually would get 6-7 hours SOT over 24-30 hours. Heavy user, but where I live has really bad reception for my carrier, so I get a lot of idle drain from the mobile standby.
I use my phone a lot. Web surfing, forums, games, texting, not too many calls. Best battery life I've ever had and this my sixth Android. Still bootloader locked and running stock, I may not even bother to root this one.

I'm currently at 4 1/2 hours screen on time with 46% battery remaining. I can easily get to 8 hours. I'm running the amazing AOSPA Rom right now as well. I stream a lot of music so I could probably get even more screen on time without all the music streaming.
i just got this phone wednesday 8pm and got a full charge in 1 hour, is sunday 8pm, 4 full days standby time plus 5 calls under 3 min each and 5 hour SOT total and i still get 32% battery left, this battery-snapdragon 625 combo is AMAZING, i come from 2016 top phone samsung S7 edge and i love this phone already. just got the best silicon lottery or what?
Tried to see how long it would last lowest I got the battery to is 31% and that had 6.5 hours screen on time. rooted with greenify. Was quite the surprise coming from a m8 getting maybe 2.5, if I was lucky 3 hours
In 2 weeks, I have twice now gotten 7+ hours SoT over a 16 hour period in mixed WiFi/LTE usage, and still had over 10% battery when it was plugged in at the end of the day. My last phone, a Moto X Pure Edition would be on the charger twice to make it though that.
No root, all services running, precise location and location tracking enabled, Google Assistant enabled, WiFI and BT on all the time, auto screen brightness, etc... I do nothing to conserve battery and on my average day I am still at 50% or more when it goes on the charger.
3 months in now and battery still great. Yesterday for example left with it at 65% around 1 pm and got back at 11 pm with still about 30% and used it quite bit. Compared to all phones I've had or seen in my family/friends circle this phone's battery life is amazing.

Hello, in 3 months you only used TurboPower?
Battery in Moto G5 Plus is very good. I usually get 7-8h SoT, but sometimes it increase up to 10 hours.
Completely stock UK G5 Plus here, i get 8 hours no problem.

Absolutely unhealthy to keep your battery draining that long. The longer the period is discharge, more harm to the battery. You should charge it every night, never met it get too low.
If you discharge your phone from 100 to 0% about 300 times, it will lose 20% capacity.
If you however discharge it from 100 to 50% 600 times, it will lose less than 7% of it's capacity.
So charge your phone every night.
Here's scientific proof for those who think I'm speaking nonsense.
