So its been about 2 days so far and the phone is awesome....BUT....not too impressed on the plastic material design.
Should I be too worried when theres like a heat wave with temps around 100 deg F???
Will the phone "warp" or "bend" or will the plastic melt a little?
Ok ok ok....of course, I will not leave it in the car during a heat wave...Of course I will not do that. But what if I walk around with the phone in my pocket. Will the phone warp or bend a bit during those kinds of temperatures?
Battery life is awesome!!!! Well, because I disabled Wifi, NFC, and all pretty much everything including GPS and for about 2 days now, battery level is still around 70%
But, I really dont like the material and I dont know how will this be impacted during a heat wave.
Whats your take on this to all?
Thx

The OP is asking a serious question.
Mine turned into ice cream in my pocket on a hot day. Had to throw my pants out. Phone was never seen again.
But seriously, no it won't melt or warp at those temperatures. Do plastics in your cart melt or warp on a hot day? Most likely not.

Please, this is important to me as I love this phone and I am just afraid that it would be damaged during a heat wave or extreme hot temperatures.
So seriously....Can I take my phone outside during a heat wave with those kind of temperatures?
Even if its in my pocket?
Just afraid that the screen or the phone would warp or bend.
Like I said, of course, I will NOT leave it inside a car during a hot day....But, I would like to carry it with me in my pocket.
Thx!

I'm pretty sure your phone will be fine, unless there's something you're not telling us. You don't by any chance live inside an active volcano, do you?
Every day for last 1 month was hot day here in India before the recent rains that cooled things down couple of days ago.
36-38°C was daily normal high. Did nothing to my 2 SGS4s.
It takes way higher than 100°F to melt or even soften the polycarbonate. My sister has spilled a piping hot coffee on SGS3 back which used similar material without any damage.
So no, 100F is nothing for these phones.
You will always have horror stories of people magically breaking their phones by doing nothing. Those few are there for every device. I have seen them in SGS3 forums, Note forums, HTC One forums and so on.
Those are not the norm. These phones are not the toys made to be used in nice temperate climate only.
THANKS !!!!!! For the quick help on this.
Makes me feel better now.
Don't worry, samsung qc usually already test usage in extreme temperature (-20 ~ 50 celcius). Even there is user youtube video for this test on s3.

I ALWAYS test my new HTC devices by putting them in my owen, if it passes that test then you are good to go!
Seriously, I have not checked the manual but it should say something about max and min operating and store temperature!
If the display still looks good, then you are OK.
The internal electronics can take up to a specified 45C but will even handle 60C at a push.
The least temperature sensitive section is the LCD. Ever seen one die left out in the sun?
Rule of thumb is...If the LCD is OK or the case plastic hasn't melted then you are not the dumb Sh^t you thought you were for not taking care of your expensive electronics...
I learned in my Climate Control class (yeah, 3 weeks all about automotive a/c, lame) that the inside of your car can reach 155+ on a 95F day sitting in the sun. I'm sure HTC plans for situations like a phone being left in the car, as all GPS and radar detector manufacturers do. So unless you think it reached 160ish, I wouldn't be too concerned.
If you find yourself dialling for an ambulance with your charred appendages, then your phone is too hot. Unless you can dial for the ambulance using your TouchPro, in which case you can assume it's fine.
The maximum operating temperature of the device is 60 Celsius (140F).
Heat is generated by current flow, so the faster the battery drains (or charges), the hotter the device will get. In particular, the more data you transmit and the faster you transmit it, the more power you drain, and the more heat the phone will generate.

Yep, very nice Ski slope/village in the Emirates Mall in Dubai.
They are building one here in Abu Dhabi in the Marina Mall but its only about 1/8th the size. We expect a rash of broken noses as they hit the bottom wall.
people please stay ontopic!
I'm sure Dubai & Abu Dhabi are quite nice and the weather is nice and warm,
but this no longer has anything to do with the original post
if you want to talk about vacation/weather, please create a topic in the General part.

What's the device temperature?
i have been a iphone fan since they have first came out... i recently switch from my I4 to the infuse... and i couldnt be happier... Except one thing... the heat... When i am out at the pool with my kid and i am listening to music thru "iHeartRadio" it will switch between my radio app and my music library... and play both at the same time... And i notice the phone gets RIDICULOUSLY hot and slows way down on performance...
Has anyone else noticed these issues? Will rooting and putting the infused 1.5 on help with this? I have jailbroke and unlocked many iphones so i dont see this being a hassle to do...
TIA
yes i have the same problem. Is your phone flashed/rooted? have u did over clocking the cpu? if you did and you have it really high u may want to turn ur cpu down. In my situation my phone was flashed and rooted i had my phone overclocked to 1600 on performance all the time. which burned my vibration cable. You might wanna clear your memory and close running programs this will help your phone a little from overheating.
I've noticed this and I'm still stocked. Of course it happened in the sun, on a 105 degree day, and in a Ballistic HC case. Basically, I was torturing the phone. I wa clued in when the phone vibrated and displayed "reducing screen brightness due to overheat". Turned off the web, took the case off, and 5 mins later all was well.

If you leave your phone in direct sunlight in July, you deserve to have it blow up in front of you.
I'd never leave any electronics in direct sunlight if I can help it.

Not all of us can be basement dwellers.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Now now, it has nothing to do with being a basement dweller.
Example:
If you're out by the pool and want your phone near you, wrap it in a towel.
If you're out rebuilding the back deck and want your phone accessible, put it in a safe drawer of your toolbox or in a case on your belt.
Direct sunlight is the enemy when paired with heat and humidity; not 105 degree heat alone.
I'm not telling anyone the only way to protect your phone is to board up your mom's basement and never come out. Use discretion.
my infuse (with or without infused 1.5) runs hot when playing games within 10 minutes. that's what i have observed
To clarify, it was in the sun for less than 5 minutes, I was standing in line. And no, I am not going to carry an umbrella just to protect my phone. My point was more to the effect of "my phone is actually trying to protect itself", versus "damn overheating iPhone".

mine was also purchased in HK, is it the same as you have, fxzy?

This kind of protection doesn't feature overheating problems? Specially when u use Overclocked Kernells?
My I9003 gains temperature when i use it for a long time, and i think that with a cover like the ones u mention the temp could be worse, affecting directly the processor

as far as I know, any cover will act as a heat barrier, causing temperatures to rise. on my phone, the only time it gets hot is when I play games while charging, or I sleep through my alarm for an extended period of time (lol)
installing any app that provides a heat alarm will help you know when to just stop and let the phone rest

Hi I had purchased a Galaxy Note 10.1 recently and have been playing around with it. A concern I had was that on the upper left backside of the device, below the silver plate on the white surface, the device feels warm compared to other areas of the tablet when using any apps. Is this normal or not?

Hi erica, how long have you had your tablet? Has it ever really bothered you too?
"Feeling warm" is normal for anything with a modern CPU inside it. If you put your hand directly on the CPU (or the heatsink covering it) in a desktop or laptop computer you may burn your hand since it can reach huge temperatures of 60 degrees plus.
This review shows the Galaxy Note 10.1 to reach 45.9 C on one corner of the back when under maximum load:
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 had no issues regarding temperature. Even after long periods of full utilization during our stress test, the Galaxy Note did not become excessively warm. While the upper left corner exhibited slight hot spots on both the front and back side with temperatures of 45.9 degrees Celsius (115.6 degrees Fahrenheit), this temperature is still rather trivial considering the fact that our test was conducted on a hot summer day. During daily use, the surface temperatures of the tablet remained comfortably cool and under 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees Fahrenheit) at every measurement location. The internal components showed no risk of overheating in any case and even the AC adapter barely warmed up.

Since it's plastic, that'll never feel "hot", just warm.
You should rarely reach maximum load if you use well-behaved apps, though some games will tax it a bit. It's actually pretty amazing what processor power can be achieved in this thing without getting too hot or requiring a fan, thanks to the ARM architecture.

So if the tablet reaches 52 C, thats alright? I really don't know specifics like this at all but would a tablet such as the asus tf700 feel the same way? I mean heat wise on a everyday medium load?
They actually get considerably warm being they are made out of aluminum. I had the tf201 and 700. It's not too hot though but you notice it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I am using system tuner to see the cpu temperature and I am getting high as 55 C. So I am in the green right? What is the highest the temperature can be and my tablet can still have a good lifespan?
A few things:
1. When I pointed out the review of this device that said it got to 45.9 degrees, that's the surface of the outside of the case. That's different to the CPU temperature, which will invariably be hotter.
2. Tools that report CPU temperature are invariably misleading. There are so many different ways to measure it that mean different things and sensors can be calibrated differently on different devices. I'd say leave it up to the engineers that built the tablet and trust that they built it to tolerate any heat it generates, which they will have had to.
3. Aluminium of the TF201 won't be getting warmer because it's aluminium, it'll just *feel* warmer because it's aluminium - even if it were the same temperature. It conducts heat to your body more efficiently as a metal. As a result, the case itself will actually help cool the tablet better, but don't go assuming this makes aluminium cases better - the engineers would have accounted for this in their thermal design, and we're not talking about all that much heat here anyway.
At any rate, this tablet doesn't get hot enough to worry about - far, far from it. The amount of warmth you feel is normal and in a tablet like this will never get close to approaching the heat required to reduce the CPU's life (unless something goes terribly wrong or you put it in an oven or something). It's not even worth worrying about. I'd worry more than in 3-5 years' time the battery capacity will have deteriorated to the point where it'll give you noticeably less battery life - because that will happen. If you're going to worry about overheating, worry about your laptop instead. If its little fan stops, is blocked or fills with dust, it is actually *quite likely* to overheat the CPU eventually - not that you're likely to notice, as the CPU will just throttle down.

While I was changing batteries after gaming, I found that the region where SDcard is inserted was hot. Other areas were relatively very less hot, a little warm.
definitely an issue. my friend's s3 also had some issues on his sdcard.
That area is much hotter than the other areas because that is where the CPU is located. Obviously when gaming the CPU gets very hot ~55-70*C so of course the heat is gonna dissipate into that area next to the SDcard
Also don't forget that the phone is very thin which means the hardware is placed by each other so when the CPU and gpu start throllting obviously it's going to start heating since the phone is thin and the hardware is bunched up together. It's normal.. just like when you have sex you get very sweaty because you and your mate are producing heat
That's indeed a very good analogy.
