Why is my phone always hot???

My phone is literally hot all of the time. After about a minute of use it will become rather warm in my hand, no matter what ROM, kernel, or if I'm on JB or ICS. Oh and it didn't used to be this way. What's up guys? And suggestions to fix it?

Do you have a kernel that let's you OC if so the processor could be above 1.5ghz which would cause this. Try setcpu if you find it running higher

Had the issue to before. Was a bad kernel.

I flashed the stock kernel and ROM earlier but still running hot...

Our phone gets noticeably hotter than most phones because of the processing power. You gotta figure that our phones are running at a higher RPM than most others. Hot/warm is normal when you're actually using your phone. I recommend downloading an app like system tuner to check the actual degrees. I run about 120 F for a CPU temp when doing things on my phone which is normal. I've been told that a cpu temp of 150+ is when you need to worry and unplug and remove the battery etc to let it cool. Battery temps are normaly 109F and I've never seen mine go higher than that.

My first phone always got warm with minimal use. My replacement not so much.

Your phone may be defective, or you have a bad kernel, or maybe even an odd battery.
In any case, I suggest closing all background apps every couple of hours and maybe even undervolting your CPU when your screen is off to keep it cool.

It could be the rom... try clearing ram... or try underclocking the cpu

hey there, i happened to see there is a solution about hot phone issues, check it out http://forum.ksmobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=8&highlight=hot

I happen to be that problem and I observe it after a several flashing of Custom Rom and alll I notice is it depends on the Rom you flash and it's kernel or if you are on the stock rom, it supposed to be that your apps including background apps are drinking the juice of your battery. You can try Greenify to limit the background apps

[Q]Miro heating up

My Xperia Miro gets heated up manytimes. at first i was ignoring it. but now i feel its happening again and again.
sometimes when i use whatsapp, sometimes when i play games, sometimes when im on a call...and most importantly whenevr i put it to charging, it gets heated up the maximum!
what could be wrong?
ive experienced this problem both on stock and other custom(BL NOT UNLOCKED) roms.
anyone facing such issues?

What temperature? As lomg as it doesn't increase above 46 iit should be ok
Sent from my X10i using xda premium

reduce brightness and uninstall apps that you are not using. Some apps still run in the background so it will keep using the CPU then it heats up and draining your battery.

how do i check the temperature?

[Q] Battery drains extremely fast PLZ HELP!

My battery drains so fast it's not even funny. I went to sleep at 11PM with battery on 85% I woke up at 8AM and phone was totally discharged. I can't show you my bbs screen right now because I have no stats on it right now but it looks like AudioOut_2 does it It was saying 10%/h so yea.
Is there a fix for it someone plz help i used greenify to hibernate powerAMP i freezed play music i have no other music players i didn't use youtube
or any app making sounds also i found something called sound fx so i disabled it but firstly this was like 3%/h but now its 10%/h and that is not what anyone would like to see. If there is some fix other than wipeing everything and reflashing rom i would be really happy.
I have huawei u8850 cm 10.1, 16gb kingston sdcard,

Hit the wrong button first of all you have something that is out of control my first suggestion is to get an app from the play store like CPU spy or similar and run it for a day to see what is causing the drain I would almost bet that you have a rouge app that is doing this. If you restored any thing with data this is where I would start

What kernel do u use?
Maybe it's the kernel.:angel:

I don't think it's kernel because i have no big kernel wakelocks but i could be wrong. also there was a new update for my rom which said it has battery fix but when i flashed my phone never gone to deep sleep when i looked to kernel wakelocks in that rom there was 1 wakelock that was never letting my phone sleep. so i tried searching for solution to my biggest wakelock which is gtalk_async_con_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.androidendpoint and connectivity service which both said about an hour. should i flash the new rom and tell you what was the biggest wakelock?

Problem is mostly common for kernel problem.
My suggestion is to use stock

To support Me.

So i flashed the new version of the rom and 1 kernel wakelock called msm_serial_hs_dma is preventing my phon from deep sleep my phone is on 2 hours and it's preventing my phone from sleep 2 hours. I tried to find fix but only thing i found was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786981. And i have no idea what the heck did i read there.so yes it's something with kernel but no other person was saying the same thing as me. They say it really fixed they're battery life. but the battery life I have now is like 4% an hour it's not really that bad but no that good. Also people say the wakelock is somthing with bluetooth but i didn't turn on bluetooth a long time now.

In the store try an app called CPU sleeper it makes the phone sleep when the screen is off may be this will help

Have you tried better battery stats that's another good app along with greenify
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda premium

Did you consider changing the battery? I had the same issue with my HTC and I solved it by changing the battery

Ok firstly i told before that i have bbs and there is this kernel wakelock called msm_serial_hs_dma that is waking my phone about 95% of the time. And my battery is built-in my phone . but i calibrated my battery and i hope it will get better. Also thanks everyone for trying to help me.

Heating issue with new 4.2.2 Rom

Hi today I had heating issues with the new 4.2.2 rom, before rooting and after rooting.
Now with cpu control I saw it work on 99% load the whole time, I rebooted and it's gone now.
like 2% battery in 10 minutes. So yes maybe this version has a bug.
I'm still hoping for CM 10.x because we also don't have camera control on lockscreen if you use PIN to unlock.
bye

I have no problem with battery drain. Also not with over heating. But the lockscreen problem its also by me.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app

For heating issue, the phone is extra hot when charging than usual, probably because of the SetCPU app incompatibility issue with 4.2.2 (1200mhz all the time).
For battery drain, yea as mentioned above, 1200mhz all the time...
Overally, we need a better kernel for this 4.2.2.

If it is really a cpu problem u can underclock ur cpu or use an another govener. But for this ur phone has to be rooted
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app

Yes I changed the governer to conservative / noop. I am on the lookout for this bug, it has not returned yet. I had it twice, before and after rooting. I don't know what program is doing this, if it happens now I can see what is doing it.
It's a bug in the rom.

Hmm if i can get my pc running again is would start searching too. But at the moment i have so problems with my network drivers and ndiswrapper xD
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app

I have flashed 4.2.2 two days ago, I haven't experienced any battery and/or heating issues as of late.

I've found that sometimes when you opened the gallery app and done some photo viewing and thing like that with the gallery, it stayes at 25-50% running cpu in the background. I don't know what I've done because sometimes it's just normal. It stops when you fully close the app.

Actually i do have an s2+ and noticed that my phone was heating up quite a bit and started to drain battery a bit.
What i found was that gallery was syncing all my photos with google+, and i didn't want my photos being on g+ even as a backup.
So i switched the autobackip and sync fo photos off and problem solved

High CPU usage/no battery life.

I need a way to debug my phone and figure out what is causing such high CPU usage and poor battery life. After startup, my phone sticks at 100% until it freezes and restarts but sometimes I get lucky and it goes down a few percentages but freezes again when I start multi tasking a bit. I don't know what changed. Any app to debug or log what's going on?
Also my phone will read a low battery amount and when I restart, it jumps up 20-30 points

Search for better battery stats here on xda. That would be a good point to start... But dont put too much effort in breaking down what the issue might be, just go and buy an anker

Change governor if it's performance, to something else.
On what rom are you, what kernel, you need to tell everything.

I've been using various apps (android system info, better battery stats, battery stats plus, watchdog) and I'm getting nothing. Nothing is hogging my cpu at all...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app

Install Wake Lock Detector to find out which process is hogging your CPU time.

From what I can tell, all the normal startup apps (mesages,facebook,widgets), are using full amount of CPU. All of them. The blue bars were full. That's for the few minutes after startup being 100% usage. Still investigating the random spikes that occurs while using my phone. It's a matter of being able to open and use this app as my phone becomes unresponsive
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app

So I've been running apps and periodically monitoring my CPU. When it starts to get above 80% on both 0 and 1, I check what's up with wakelock detector and it doesn't even list the app I'm using when my cpu spikes like dolphin. It happens often with dolphin, tumblr, games. But they don't appear in wakelock.
The apps that do appear are barely doing anything

Maybe you'll also find the CPU Spy Reborn app useful to monitor CPU load over long periods of time

I found someone with a very similar problem, only it's happening even with mobile network disabled

battery drain is a big issue with me as well

Yeah. I reinstalled my rom after a full wipe. Looks like it cleaned my CPU problem. But my battery life is still only 4 hours. My screen being the biggest drain according to all these apps.

What's your battery ?
4 hours is very low. Maybe you need new battery..
And which rom exactly do you use ?
I used Inspiration 1.0.1 for a log time and i had the best battery life on this rom. it works fine with lower CPU/GPU frequency. Vipers 5.0.0 also seems to have nice battery life (i'm on it now).

My battery life is 5 hours when I was using ViperS 3.1.2
Now I update it to ViperS 5.0, battery can use 6~7 hours, so cool !!

Etc. Where it's 5.0? This always happens to me with vipers Rom. I always find at that there is a new thread for a newer version from someone else
