the phone gets heated up a LOT while charging is it normal for the phone?
Can you define "a LOT"? By the very nature of battery recharging, it is only natural for some heat generation, as I'm sure you are aware.
But as this phone has fast charge capabilities, it is expected to get warmer than we may be used to.
Luckily though, as it charges quicker, the heat generation is short lived, and you don't have to worry about it being hot all the time while plugged in (unless you are using it at the same time), as the charging will drop in potency and cool down.
If you are concerned though, I suggest that you rest your phone on a hard, cool surface while it charges. Not something soft, like on your bed.
If your phone gets too hot to touch though, you may want to head back to the shop
close apps, stop using the phone, let it charge. problem solved.

By a lot i mean significantly hot its difficult to keep on the ear but this happens only while charging when the phone is below 80% and the HOTNESS which i am talking about is generated after the phone is about half an hour on chargeing and between 30-705. i just wanna know if it is normal or not. The phone gets warn on usage but HOT on charging!
I was reading a link another member posted on battery technology, and it said that when batteries are pretty empty to critically low, they charge on a higher current, and then when they start getting "fuller" they start to drop the recharge rate. I can't remember much of the detail now, but from a technical view point, it is standard behaviour to heat up like "that". If you still want to use your phone a lot while it is charging, you could try seeing how another charger works for you. Because it will charge slower and thus, create less heat.

keeping on power save reduces the heat and doesnt drop TOO much performance and double battery so thats a round about for me!
power save still gives 4k geekbench and 50000 antutu so pretty good just a slight bit of bearable lag which you wont notice easily!
thanks happy to know my phone is normal!

Hey last night I plugged in my s6 for charging at around 18 % after 40 min my phone was at 84% but with a whopping temp at 44 deg celsius. I was terrified as phone was hot as hell. Later by reaching 100 it dropped to 39. My phone never goes below 33 deg and average temp is 36-37 deg without any heavy usage with heating near chrome edges. I am scared as samsung is not offering me replacement and they say your phone is safe until 48 deg. Should I be worried??

If the manufacturing days 48°C abs toy haven't reached out you should be OK. Is this battery temp, processor temp, or surface temp? 44° is high, but not to bad if out is processor temp, if it is battery temp it is a little concerning, but add long add it doesn't stay that high much it shouldn't effect much. If it is surface temp it is a big concern add that is to high.
The above is my opinion, based on my knowledge of batteries and computer processors. Basically though if samsung days it's good I imagine it is good.
As a matter of fact, here is a start teens got from my phone. Not charging or anything.

Battery was 28% last night, the phone gained 3% overnight when It usually drains 2%, no usb connection as you can see in the graphic. What could cause this behavior? I’m just curious.

Perhaps its an issue with your battery controller. It was projecting a certain loss of battery but when it did not after waking from sleep it assumed it had charged and displayed a higher %?
That is completely conjecture based in no fact other than those made up by me, so please take it with a grain of salt. =)
i'll keep saying this, but nobody wants to look at the nexus s battery driver code. seems the phone is based off voltage tables, which fluctuate under load, and hence when you charge to 100% and unplug, it drops to 97%. because the voltage drop.
same could apply to this situation, very often you can see your voltage drop like that. especially if you left the phone idle all night after using it hard prior. voltage drops then increases.
Yes, I was using maps very hardly (at least in comparison to the rest of the day) and that’s the reason of the fast drop in the graphic, then the phone went sleep for almost 7 hours. I’ll take a look at what you’re saying about voltage tables. Very interesting info here.

you were using maps right around the time of that drop? then yes that's the reason. i wasnt directing the "code review" to you lol, just more of a general thing that was discussed in the forum previously. sorry
but this would definitely show, in my opinion, why there is also the 100% to 97% drop when taking the phone off the charger. voltage drop always ocurrs here.

No reason to be sorry about, I didn’t take it that way; I just like to learn new stuff about how things work.
its the battery meter. you probably rebooted. the battery meter in android is known to be inaccurate. sometimes after a reboot it can gain or lose percentage. ive gained 25% before after rebooting! in reality, you didnt gain anything, its just the meter being off by a bit.
I just want to know how you get nearly 4 days of use out of a charge!
Don't you use your phone?

I haven’t seen this after reboot, this happened after awake and it wasn’t sudden. Phone without signal in the graphic is the “airplane-mode” It wasn’t off. I know that battery didn’t gain any charge, of course, It’s just the weird behavior of android reading battery information.

lol, yeah, It was a very quiet week.
it would be awesome if you could test this if you dont mind. turn your screen brightness to max, make sure your on 3g and not wifi, open google maps and scroll in one direction for about a minute or 2, check the battery percent and voltage. then turn off the screen, leave it sit for a few minutes, then see the percent and voltage readings.
maybe try a test a few times just for fun...you wanna place as much load on the phone as possible, so maybe even turn on the camera flash?

does any body else has an easier way, or can recommend a market app to test the battery life by using full features?
Quick test here:
Beginning with 3728 mV, stress the phone a little and It drops to 3622 mV, then I let the phone sleep for couple of minutes and after wake it battery shows 3730 mV. It seems to show higher values than those that were present before sending the phone to sleep. What could be said about that?
I’ll do another test with full charge and more stress, but for the moment, my phone is charging, yeah…. Finally.

its too bad my app (my sig) doesnt work for the nexus s, because i just recently added real time voltage vs current graphing, taking 2 second readings, for these exact circunstances. its fun doing these types of tests on my n1. but the battery driver and model is too different in the nexus s to use the app...
n1 doesnt use voltage at all for percent readings, but my hunch from code was the nexus s does. that's why i was so curious. check out some screens though for fun. you can really do some interesting tests with such high sample rates.
Everybody knows the problem of battery draining in our beloved Cappy
I found an oldschool solution.
Drain your Cappy's battery to the end
enable gps
no battery saving mode
enable wifi
Maxed brightness
After that let it charge for the night until it's 100%
After startup it will show you 97% but its 100%.
Im with wifi for 2hr and the battery draind only 7%
Also hope that this solution is not like "thanks captain obvious"
hope it will help's u, share your findings after using this method.
Using perception 10.4 and speedmod k13b
Sry for my bad english...
I will try you old school method
Old school method worked on old school NiCAD batteries that suffered from memory. New school LiON batteries do not.
Ok for me. I simply restart my sd gingerbread androïd. And my android consums only 6mA in sleeping mode.

If you haven't done it in a while for a Li-on device it will recalibrate the charge controller, but it doesn't increase the actual chemical capacity of the battery like it would for NiCad.

I've heard it's only bad if you leave them down for more than 12-24 hours. If you put it right back on the charger, I think it's good once in a while. That's that Apple recommends for theirs, anyways.

Heat is the enemy of any battery. The lower you run it down the longer it will have to be on the charger to get back to 100% and thus the longer it will be exposed to heat. Calibrating the battery and then wiping the stats should be all you need to do. I easily get 25-30 hours out of my battery with moderate use and I rarely let it get below 30%. And if I listened to Apple I'd have an iPhone.

Yeah, but these devices often get run down and charged. I think Apple's right on this. FYI, that's about the Macbook, which I have one, not the iPhone (don't have one of those).
Here's what TechRepublic had to say about it:
Lithium ion
Of the types of batteries mentioned here, lithium ion cells have some powerful advantages. They have an energy density of 150 watt-hours per kilogram. Like NiMHs, Li-ion batteries have no memory effect. That is, they don’t lose the capacity to fully charge if they aren’t fully drained. Left on the shelf, they lose the least power. Their discharge rate, at 10 percent per month, gives them a good storage life (but they must be used within two years of manufacture). This means that you can grab one that you charged up three months ago, and it will still have about 70 percent of its charge left. If you’re maintaining a number of laptops, that’s good news.
These batteries also have some important disadvantages, however. They have a volatile chemistry. Each lithium ion pack in your laptop must have its own electronic protection circuit that protects against overcharging, over-discharging, and too-high current. Each cell of the battery pack incorporates a built-in safety vent. All three battery types have a safety vent, but unlike NiCad and NiMH batteries, which can withstand some overcharging, the vent in lithium-ion batteries is designed to disconnect the battery permanently if it ever has to be used. It does not reseal. The potential danger of this type is why Li-ion batteries come as a sealed unit including safety electronics. As a helpful part of the circuitry, each Li-ion battery provides a charge indicator. Pressing a button will cause a row of lights to be lit, indicating the charge, as shown in Figure A.
I was surprised to learn that of all the batteries, lithium-ions have the worst useful life. Though they have a slow discharge rate on the shelf, all Li-ion batteries irreversibly lose capacity over time. Even after one year, they lose the ability to be charged to full capacity. Cadex tests indicated that their practical service life is only two years. According to Cadex’ document, Batteries for Mobile Computing, “Li-ion batteries should not be stored for long periods of time but consumed like a perishable food.” On the other hand, while they don’t deliver as many cycles as NiCad batteries, they do provide up to 1000 cycles if they’re used within that two-year lifespan. They are also maintenance free. Not only do they suffer no memory effects, they don’t need to be periodically discharged and topped off. Like NiMH batteries, shallow discharges actually increase the number of cycles. Unfortunately, these cells are expensive. Keep in mind that your IT department might be better off with a smaller, rotating inventory.
As you can see, there's nothing to be gained by discharging them completely. BTW, Apple laptops have circuitry that prevents the device from discharging the battery completely to prevent damage. I'm not sure our phones have this, so their advice should not apply here.
Android only lets the battery discharge to ~40%, WinMo6.5 to ~30%.
The point is (was) that there's no memory effect and therefore no valid reason to be discharging these batteries completely. The "old school" method just doesn't apply here and could actually shorten the battery's life in terms of charging cycles.

Define moderate use? I struggle to get over around 14 hours of use. Usual stuff includes 2 hours of music, maybe 50 to 100 text messages, up to 5 minute of calling (rarely make calls), and little to no WiFi or games. I do use the data network a bit, having Facebook and Twitter and stuff syncing every hour. But overall, my battery life sucks.
That's actually not bad for everything you describe. Remember in a smart phone the more the screen is on the faster the battery dies.

And if you're syncing in a mediocre (1-2 bars) network coverage area it takes even more power than when you have 4-5 bars. I generally have about 2-3 hours of screen on-time between charges, several phone calls and texts, e-mail pushing every hour, some game playing, some BT on while in the car, some Market/web surfing and every other day I track my MTB rides with GPS while listening to music via BT. I put the phone on the charger every night, but I do carry a spare battery just in case. I wasn't getting this kind of battery performance on Eclair, though.

I'm on day 2 of using my UK Note 20 Ultra and the battery life is leaving a lot to be desired. Today I'm currently sitting at 49% battery with 1 hour 30 minutes screen on time. I'm using it very lightly as I'm mostly desk based while working.
I know the phone is still "Learning usage patterns" but this seems very little usage to be sitting below 50%. Is anyone else seeing similar?

similar scenario for me unfortunately, i got 3 hours SOT which bought it down to 14% before i charged. Will give a week or so to see if it improves before deciding to return it or not.
Yeah you need to give it time and completely discharge the battery before charging again
Same Uk Model, its been absolutely appaling.. the things also getting too hot all the time doing basic stuff but forcing the dim screen. I'm really not too happy with this so far.. just had an update so maybe this will improve things... though as above gonna give it a week or so to see if things settle down.

Same here this thing gets super hot, just light browsing socials the screen gets warm. Just typing this out had lost me 1%. Have you got bad standby drain also? Mines terrible with absolutely nothing running. Samsung are theives not upgrading the chipset in this phone but giving the US brand spanking new Snapdragons?
Today was my 1st day using the note 20 ultra at work and I also had below par battery life, got around 2.5 hours sot during a 12 hour shift at the end of which the battery was below 10%, phone was on medium/low brightness using lte with low reception and my phone also got warm to the touch when browsing.
It takes about a week or more to settle for sure but these early reports are looking really bad @ the Exynos especially in terms of batterylife and unusual heating.
I ended today on 13% battery with 2hrs52mins SOT. Also find the phone gets extremely hot when doing basically anything for an extended period. Can't see me keeping this past the end of the first week, there's so much ground it would have to make up.
should i pull the trigger ? i can save mad money on the exynos version
i mean roms will be amazing for it
which can help it
Overnight about 8h now use battery dropped 12%
I'm not an exynos fan but getting 4:30 SOT and no heat at all. I haven't opened any games yet though just installed them
Just done a rolling video test with the Note 8 and Note 20 ultra. Both on full brightness playing the same set of files.
The Note 8 display is brighter and more colourful. After 3 hours or so the Note 20 ultra has 82% left and the Note 8 has 76%
If you look at the difference in battery capacity (4500 vs 3300) and the difference in screen size then I would say the Note 8 performs better even with the brighter display.
Im currently on snapdragon, but my s10+ was exynos and I never had this drain you guys are experiencing. This is unacceptable. I hope you guys can figure it out.
Remember the battery takes a couple of days to "learn your usage"
I never trust those marketing gimmick said it will learn your usage and batt life will improves... Just put all apps you did not use into deep sleep and frequent use into sleep. That give me 6 to 7 hours SOT 120hz with 10% left
4th day in Exynos. Phone has been on for 3 hours, 45 mins SOT consisting of browsing socials, no apps running in background 75% battery remaining ? This is terrible, can't see it getting better....
This is mine...
I'm getting about the same as my Note 10+. Moderate use all day and still have 30 to 40% left. So I'm happy.

Sorry didn't make that clear enough. The phone had been on for 3 hours, only have 45 mins SOT left with 75% battery
It has been decent for me so far. This is the first charge cycle. But i was at home in wifi all the time (with 120hz adaptive setting)
I am new to the forums so I don't really know if I am posting this in the right section.
My poco x3 pro is less than a week old and when I charge it using the original charger, it warms up considerably around 50 celcius (cpu temp not battery) .( I don't have a thermal thermometer but I used cpu-z)
I am quite worried that this might damage some of the compenets or if I should return this defective product
To those who also have this phone, does anyone face the same problems?

More info needed.
Fast charge will rise the battery temperature.
What is your environment/surround temperature?
Do you have AC/ air conditioner on?
What ROM are you using? MIUI version?
Sim card with mobile data or WIFI only?
What apps are you using?
Are you using your phone while charging?
What were you doing before you start charging?
Did you try leave it aside to cool down and then start charging?
There are many more questions that may relate to temperature of charging.
Show the battery usage in English and make a screenshot. Then post it here, so people can try to figure out what the problem is.
CPU temperature is not accurate. Battery temperature is.
I use fast charging.
The temperature here is around 25 to 30 celcius
No, I don't use air conditioning
I turn off my device while charging
miui 12
The heat is around the rear camera section (near the cpu)
I played some games and browsed before charging, the phone was hot while playing the game so I let it cool down and the temperature rose while charging. (The temperature rose even if I charge it without playing any graphic demanding games)
It is understandable that fast charging increases the temperature of a phone considerably but the heat was orginating from the camera which is close to the cpu, not the battery

If it happen recently, disable Google app. Then uninstall Google app update.
This seems to be Google app faulty update from Google, happens on many other Android phones that updated the Google app yesterday.
You can do it on phone. No need to flash something.

Then reboot.
Battery temperature measurement is more accurate to the actual temperature. CPU temperature is not.
Prepare a room thermometer.
On the phone, download ampere app to observe battery temperature.
Cool down the phone for 30 minutes without doing anything.
Then open ampere app to see the battery temperature. Will see it's close to the room temperature read from the room thermometer.
If you still feel the CPU of the phone is hot, then factory reset.
After factory reset, let it rest for 30 minutes. See if the temperature is still going up to 50 degree celcius while charging.
CPUs are better temperature tolerable. Batteries are not.
This is the temperature of my battery however most of the heat isn't orginating for there. It originates from the rear camera
I don't think it is a software issue because as I said, I always turn off the phone while it's charging.

The battery temperature seems okay.
If you think it is hardware issue, find Xiaomi to repair it or request a phone replacement.
If after the replacement it's still the same, then the phone is just like that.
You can debloat without root or unlock bootloader to reduce CPU usage a bit.
MIUI system is not that good itself in term of heat and battery, so you can try custom ROMs.

I am new to the forums so I don't really know if I am posting this in the right section.
My poco x3 pro is less than a week old and when I charge it using the original charger, it warms up considerably around 50 celcius (cpu temp not battery) .( I don't have a thermal thermometer but I used cpu-z)
I am quite worried that this might damage some of the compenets or if I should return this defective product
To those who also have this phone, does anyone face the same problems?

I believe this is because the chip that regulates and send the current to the battery is located on the top of the phone, more likely on the same board as the camera and soc.
The current from USB port where the charger is connected is not directly responsible for the charging. The current is rerouted to the component more likely located on the motherboard where all the magic happens.
This is why that part of the phone is hottest when charging. This is the case of a lot of other phones. Once the battery temperature is in respectable degrees I do not think you have anything to worry about. Device nowadays are equip to automatically manage overheating that will cause danger to the users and the device itself.
Thanks for the reply
So is a temperature of 41 degrees normal while fast charging?
Can anyone else share their charging battery temp

Normal. I had fast charging for 30 minutes, environment temp is around 30°C. Battery goes up to around 40°C.

Thank you. I was getting really concerned
So you know where I'm coming from, I upgraded from a 3a, but so far...?
The fingerprint reader is ace, and works no matter how sweaty my finger might be. No issues at all. It just works.
Screen is great, and far better than the 3a when it comes to colour temp.
Battery is big! From 100% to 15% today, day 2, and I've managed 7.5 hours SOT. That's with YouTube videos, browsing, a few hours of podcasts over Bluetooth.
Tensor is fast. I mean an abacus is fast compared to the 3a, but still, this thing is smooth, and the phone isn't even notably warm https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/.
And finally, this thing feels big compared to the 3a, but way more premium. It doesn't feel cheap.
So while there's lots of negative reviews out there from tech reviewers, hopefully you can find balance in the voice of a normal phone user.
Also coming from a 3a (XL though) I agree on how premium this feels (and is) comparatively. The screen is absolutely improved and the SOC is night an day better.
Thats said, FP under the screen sucks....I REALLY wish this still had the rear mount physical sensor. While I havent had the same nightmare stories others have this is no where near as good a FPR as the 3a was.
Battery is less vs my 3a XL but that had a lot bigger batter vs the normal 3a. Heat is a mixed bag, sometimes its unnoticed and sometimes it gets very toasty. Its a lot better now with my current kernel vs stock, but with added power comes added heat.
All in all though, yes depending on what device youre coming from this is a LOT better. This isnt a premium, flagship device and people need to stop comparing it with them. Its also not a cheap Chinese brand with questionable everything. This is the nicest "A" series device Ive seen/used.
had pixel 6a for 2 weeks, coming from a rugged phone with 5800mah battery, so for me pixel6a battery looks ridiculous, sorry google

I've found battery to be mediocre at best. 6-6.5 hrs onscreen over 12 hours or so. Low brightness, just flipping around social media and web and chat. But that is with LTE only, with some or all WiFi would be different story. Deep sleeping fine. Deep sleep drain is pretty crappy as well.

me with normal use, always 5g with optimal reception, lasted 12h from 100% to 10%. Good point with wifi but I had not the possibility to compare
12 hours on 5g is pretty good with this device stock. Make sure if you havent already, to disable adaptive connectivity, and try LTE vs 5G.

Screen on time with 6a? Unbelievable. Wouldn't even come close. All reports, reviews, anecdotal user reports show this isn't possible. I've been testing it thoroughly for last month and definitely impossible.
No screen on time, just my normal phone use, and Google says It lasts 24h, it's not true

Ahhh sorry. Didn't mean to sound like a ****. I could have just asked if you meant screen on time. Thanks for confirming. Yeah LTE and WiFi when possible, if screen on/battery drain is important should make a big difference.
Out of the box this is one of the worst devices I've used in a LONG time. However, my old OnePlus 8 (dd) had to go. Just to charge I had to hold the cord at an angle, and quick charge stopped working. Then random reboots and freezes killed me. I could tell the phone was on its last legs. Same glitches regardless on stock/custom. Battery lost a lot of charge in one year.
Either way after trade in I paid $188. It's a sidegrade, which is totally fine. Most CPUs perform about the same outside of benchmarks. Battery and heat are my only complaints. Hopefully the 8a/9a are better because the rectangular shape, and camera visor have really grown on me.
Deep sleep 2 hours. Use 20 minutes, battery down to 83% :/ Honestly it's just terrible. The phone gets hot just flipping around FB. Otherwise it's fine. I'll hang onto it for a year and trade it in for 7a hoping they get these issues solved somewhat. We'll have a clue with 7 and 7 Pro. The heat I can deal with but battery life is weak. That also I can deal with but just disappointing given the device is great otherwise.

24 hours off the charger with 4h screen on including 50 min of gps, browsing, YouTube, and some music streaming. Battery down to 43% which is acceptable for my needs.
Have found that PIA VPN was burning huge amount of battery... Much better battery life without it. Looking at about 8 hours onscreen over a 20 hours with LTE.
