My Sensation was down to about 40% charge so I plugged it in.
A while later I picked it up and it was incredibly hot.
I unplugged it at which point it said the battery was at 0% and shut down.
I let it cool off and then tried to switch on.
Nothing.
I plugged it back in and it booted up but the battery was at 1%.
It's now charging normally 8% so far and does not seem hot.
Anyone else come across this ?

That seems similar to the G2X issue. Like overheating, right?
Haven't had it on my Sensation 4g yet
A defective battery perhaps?
Hmmmm. It seems fine now. Fully charged and cool as a cucumber

Did your mobile connection or wifi ON while charging? Mostly heat problem happen when there is an activity of upload and downloading something through mobile connection or wifi.
I always switch both setting to OFF condition while charging.
I use to have Desire and DHD, both showing hot condition each time i'm download something

That seems like a bit of a crap deal if that is true.. I have a iPhone 3GS at the moment & I can download 2GB files over night whilst plugged into my charger & yeah I get a bit of heat from it in the morning, but nothing that causes any concern. Im looking to get a Sensation as soon as Orange (UK) announce a release date... Not being able to download over night due to heat reasons is a bit sh!te..
I really must stop reading all the bad things about this phone as I'm slowly turning away from it :-(

Still downloading/checking updates for email, Facebook, Twitter (if you have them), Calendar, or any other apps that use WiFi in the background.
Turning WiFi off while charging is the best option

This is absolutely ludacris. I've never heard such crap in all my life, not saying what you're saying is crap, but the fact you have to turn Wifi off whilst charging is total <enter swear word here>.
Are you telling me one of the most powerful smart phones on the market cannot handle Wifi being on as well as charging... Im shocked & considering a different phone.
It happened to me the first day as well. Not getting got and turning off but it was burning my hands it was so hot. It hasn't done it in 2 days now though. Probably just adjusting. Still dangerous though

You are correct. It is nonsense. I have sync'd 2gb of mp3s and videos from drop box over wifi whilst on charge with no adverse effects at all. My phone is running wifi and bluetooth right now whilst on charge and it's not even warm to the touch. This was almost certainly a one-offand probably a fault in the charging circuitry causing it to overheat.

Lets hope it was. I've had my heart set on this phone since I first heard about it 4 months ago. Theres a number of things that keep popping outta the woodwork thats seriously making me reconsider.
Dust getting under the screen... I mean come on.. I used to get dust under my Nokia 402 12 years ago... Is Dust REALLY still getting under screens?!?
Touch screen problems... Are you telling me this phone was not tested to hell & back and this problem wasnt ever notified before?
Slightly off topic, but it's just annoying to see these problems coming to light 7 days before I get it! lol

question are you using a silicon phone cover?
wow. good for you guys! you have a "HOT" phone. hehe
My sensation hasn't had a hot issue though. since the weather here is so cold. 0-5 degrees so, my sensation hasn't really shown any overheating. maybe you guys just need a heat sync attached to your phone.
i notice mine only gets hot when using it in a game, with the overclock 1.5G... i do notice taking off any cover (like my gel case) seems to dissipate alot of the heat but looking at temps it has only maxed out at 28 degrees... isn't this thing capable of 40 or so before it starts to die out?
The only time i get overheating is wheb playing 3d games for long periods of time. Other then that its all fine. And the issues about dust under screen hasnt affected me at all and i doubt it would affect you seeing as htc must have addressed that issue in the latest batch of phones.

This has not happened to my Sensation(i am using a 'half-cover' from Nillkin) but this actually happened to my GF's Sensation yesterday, and she is using a silicone case cover..
Might have been just a glitch...but your phone is much better than a iPhone by far...jailbroke or not...android FTW

It's too hot to hold right now. I walked around my workplace and lost 4g. Nothing is running on the phone. I've lost 20% battery in the past half hour. Something is wrong :/

Turned phone of for 10 mins. Battery dropped from 26% to 16% between restarts. 4g is back, heat is gone. What could be the issue? I know this phone has been having problems on Verizon's 4g network

Not really worth posting... you are doing something to cause the cpu to run crazy.. the only time i have ever got it hot is in games or if im tethering for any extended period of time. Battery life will suffer horribly from this.. so far ive been able to drain this 2100mah Battery within 6 hours. Dont posts pointless babble plz.

It's possible the tower you're connected to is having issues, causing you to drop back to 3G which might also be having issues, causing your phone to fight for a signal.
Loss of signal makes everything go nuts on a phone. It pumps up the antennae to try and hold on to any signal it can see. This also increases the drain on the battery which generates heat on it's own.
In certain stores, I have to turn my phone completely off (sometimes I can get away with just turning off mobile data), as even maintaining a voice channel is running everything at full blast, murdering the battery and scorching me (not really, but it's still hot).
The phone's SOC should have a safety switch that will force it to power off if it gets TOO hot. Unfortunately for our comfort, too hot for electronics is MUCH higher than too hot for our skin.

yes this is what I have been thinking. Although sometimes I will lose 4g until I restart my device. I think it's somewhat of a software issue over a network problem.

Agreed. I think the problem is along the lines of 4G dropping and the phone is trying to reconnect to it with no success. Is this debug info in the logcat?

It could be. I've never personally had occasion to pull a logcat, so I'm not sure what kind of information gets stored in there.
My phone also did this yesterday while idling except, I did lose 4G, it just wouldn't charge cause it said it was too hot and felt like it just came out of the oven (ofcourse it was mid 90's here yesterday) but IMO still shouldn't get that hot when not in use.
The information about signal should be available in logcat.
My GNex would do this. It would struggle to find a signal and heat up significantly as a result. Battery life suffered. This would happen in my office, but not at home where I have a better 4G signal.
Switching to WiFi at the office helped, but was not really a solution to the problem which certainly can occur when you don't have WiFi available.
As a note the GS3 doesn't do this for me, so it appears that the radios are better in this device. Doesn't help you much, but hey, it could be worse I guess.

This happened with my Fascinate.. where it had died due to running out of juice. And wouldn't turn back on or even charge with the in car charger due to Texas heat being 104 Degrees scorching at that time.. -__-". Had gotten an error temperature message with phone will not turn on/charge due to temperature too high risk...

All phones do this. There's a local grocery store that I swear uses a cell jammer, you get 20ft through the doors and a full 4G signal drops to nothing, not even 1xRtt, not even voice or sms. All throughout the store, until you walk out the door, then wide open signal again. I have seen my battery go down like 80% in an hour in there until I figured it out and started putting it in airplane mode when I go there.

Most buildings like grocery stores and such are built with steel framing, rather than the wood that gets used in regular houses. This creates a faraday cage effect when you walk through the doors. Depending on the construction, it can be very strong and effectively block most signal from getting in.
I have also seen this effect in manufactured homes/trailers, as they tend to use steel framing rather than wood.

It's the only building anywhere around here that is that dramatic of a change. Every other grocery store or mall or home or office I have a 4G signal.

Yes it's all do to the radio. Those of us, in a fringe area have to suffer tthrew this. If I'm at my house I can get 4G upstairs and 1x in the basement. This causes the phones battery to drain much faster and cause great issues. I recommend using a different kernel if you are comfortable with it. Also use deadline/smartass . It takes some tweaking, but it will help. No matter what we do we have to face the fact that 4G devices kill battery life.Your not going to get no more then 4 hours screen on time. I love the phone don't get me wrong but the only all day battery phone is the MAXX. I have one also and Motorola s radios are killer lol I wish I could stick my MAXX radios in this baby Another thing its download CPU spy , see if your phone is actually sleeping. It could be a rouge app , contributing to the problems to. I just picked up a 4500mah extended battery , it was the best 30 bucks I ever spent. Good luck and let us know if it was anything else then software related.

The device does warm up from time to time. Mostly when the phone is not in good reception area in 4G mode. Also it heats up sometimes when there is constant downloading of apps. I have noticed temperature hovering between 26 to 36 C degrees and you will feel heat around 33-34C Deg. Other times the phone is cold.
It really looks like a software problem! These changes Temperature Like this.
Does not make sense to me. I had those phones There was no such thing.Only GPS AND GAME It was warming up.
Why should a device to warm up in normal use! iPhone 6 not warming up in normal use
I've played Real Racing 3 and Crazy Taxi City Rush without it getting hot. Barely warm in fact.

Is it normal that suddenly the device got heat while charging after 2 months of using ??
Anyone please ????

This probably is the normal temperature, but something seems weird to me with this phone. While it has the screen off, it gets cold very fast and feels "good" on the hand. Right when I power it on and do some task (no need for gaming, Facebook or Chrome is enough) this gets hot fast. Is this normal with this phone? My previous one(Zenfone 2 Laser) only heated when under heavy gaming.
