Hello.
On the day i got the phone, after 5-10 minutes of use i opened the camera app. Checked the features and it's definitions, 2 or 3 minutes later started taking photos but after the fith picture received a message that the phone was getting hot and some features like face detection, scene recognition and object tracking would be disabled by temperature rise. After restarting the phone and waiting to cool down i opened the camera app and filmed in 4K and also 1080p/30fps to see the results. In 4K didn't get more than 5 minutes. Even at 1080p sometimes it couldn't pass the 5 minutes mark.After the third day of use temperatures seemed to have stabilized and i achieve my best result filming 4K for 8 minutes until the heat warning showed up and it shut down at 12 minutes (recording to the internal memory) and at 1080p, heat warning at 15minutes but filmed for an hour long until i manually switched it off.
But yesterday while listening to music through my bluetooth speakers (wifi, location, nfc and bluetooth on) and surfing the web it got a bit hot.
I don't know if this is normal behaviour for the XZ, as i've seen videos that it's capable of recording something like 39 minutes in 4K.
I did a lot of tests and benchmarks to 3 SD cards, to the internal memory, swapped nano sim card, checked air temperatures, phone temperatures and it seems to get hot really quick. I have xperia Z2 and Z3 and they would get hot but not as quick. On the day i got the XZ i did some 4K videos side by side with the Z3 and the Z3 outperformed.
Today i tried to film in 4k, got the heat warning after 5 minutes and camera shut down at 8 minutes and CPU was around 50º C, battery 45º C...
By the way, air temperature here is usually around 18 to 22 degrees celsius. What's your opinion? Could it be i have a faulty unit and should trade it for another one or is this normal?
Thanks.
Ps. I wanted to post pictures from Aida64 and CPU-Z with the temps but i can't post links since this is my first post. So i'll leave you this:

This may not be a big help, but went I first turn on a new phone or one that was factory reset, I notice it runs hot for a period of time as it syncs newly-made accounts and builds caches, etc. The camera would only add to the heat that's already there.
Is your XZ still heating up after it's had some time to settle down?

I got the phone Thursday, 13th. After first boot and initial set up, i guess it's normal to run a bit hot. But the day after i did a software repair on Xperia Companion. Since then the temperatures are still high. I changed to a new sim card, tried different SD cards and i still get temperatures above 50C on most temperature sensors and the battery temperature around 45-46C. Using the camera for video even at 1080p/30fps i get temperature rise warnings and in 4k or 1080p/60fps it can shut down at around 5, 8, 10 minutes. Some times in photo mode i also get the heat warning and that some functions will be disabled.
On wednesday after arriving home i was listening to music through the bluetooth speakers while surfing the web and it got unconfortably hot to hold in my hands. Later that day, tried to play Asphalt 8 and it was not necessary more than 10 minutes to reach 55C. The next day, while on my lunch time and surfing the web, same happened. Sometimes it lags a bit and using apps to check the processor and other components, i noticed that the CPU cores 3 and 4 normally have more activity than 1 and 2.
I already contacted the store were i bought it and i'm gonna send it back because the symptoms persist. Since this isn't my first Sony phone, i can not believe this is normal. Imagine if it was summer, i could fry an egg...
For Pete's sake, i received this phone on Thursday the 13th and not Friday the 13th
I also checked on Sony support forum that another user is having heat warnings when using the camera.

I haven't seen these concerns mentioned anywhere else, so I'm sorry if it's a duplicate.
I updated to KB1 on the 24th. Yesterday & today, I have noticed unusual battery drain. The battery manager says that my screen has drained 83% of my battery (my battery total is 41%) from a 100% charge. My phone has been on for 7 1/2 hours and the display has bren on for 1 hour, 16 minutes. This just seems like an unusually high amount of drain compared to JH1. Do I need to let the battery stats reset after the update by draining the battery and charging it a few times?
Second issue... Whenever I was using my phone, the back was getting VERY toasty near the SIM and SD slots. I ejected my external SD and the heat has not returned. The same SD card has been used for several months with JH1. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Can't say as I have noticed any heat but I can relate about the display using a high percentage of battery on the phone. I am also typically not showing anything else using the battery other than idle, standby, voice calls, and Wi-Fi. Now for example I am at 10 hours of use, have 62% battery left, and was using the music player for a while at work, updated and downloaded apps from the marketplace, shot some HD video and stills, sent some texts, checked some FB, did some GPS tests, etc. I don't know if 2.2 stock is just very efficient (went about 36 hours before charging and still had over 25% left this morning) and so the only thing using the battery is the display but it seems like it just isn't reporting everything to me. Maybe a few more days of use, a full drain or two, etc and it might start reporting correctly if it isn't already.
Battery is normal, I have noticed some heat though...even went as far as to turn my phone off for an hour today because of it.
I thought it was just me, but I noticed batt drain too

Yeah, I am starting to think the official 2.2 is a major flop. I had high hopes, but so far it just hasn't delivered to my expectations.

I also feel like it isn't telling me everything that is using battery. Since the update, I'm only seeing Display (always on top), wi-fi, and cell standby.
To add to the SD heat issue, the media scanner has been running for about 5 minutes now and still says that 0% has been scanned in the notification bar.

I can't say I have had any issues with the media scanner taking an unusual amount of time. I have over 1000 songs, about 6 full length movies, photos, music videos, etc, and I can't say it ever runs more than about 20 seconds or so.
Just plugged my phone in and didn't notice any heat, but was still only showing display, wifi, standby, voice calls, and idle. Battery life itself though is still good (at least good enough for me - 24 hours + on a single charge with moderate use). I have been stock since I bought the phone back in August.

Go into MyFiles and delete your Android folder then reboot. Sometimes the media scanner freezes due to the cache in the Android folder.
I've also been having a lot of battery issues. Twice today my phone died within 2 hours of being off the charger. The first time was 1 hour and 15 minutes with sending and receiving 2 texts. The second time was 1 hour and 45 minutes, no texts. I didn't have GPS, Wifi, or Bluetooth on and didn't use the phone except for those texts. I used to get a full 14 hours + out of my phone before updating to froyo!

Is there any sort of side-effect when deleting that cache folder? The scanner also hasn't been running since a reboot so that may have been a fluke.

I also am experiencing terrible battery life. On jh1 with heavy use I would have to put the phone on the charger which was expected but it would be fine for the rest of the day without any problem. Now I'm having to live off of a charger. I haven't experienced heat issues but I haven't had my SD card in either.
Another issue I've been wondering about other people having is sending MMS. Before the update I done this without any problems at all, now I am very lucky to send one. I read somewhere that the MMS limit was actually smaller after the update, though I have no proof of this. I was just trying to send a couple 2-4 second audio clips that can't be larger than a few KB.
I had a Droid Incredible before this and was root doing everything under the sun with it, when I got this phone I didn't feel the need as much. This update has proved me wrong and I will be jumping on a custom ROM real quick like.

I decided to completely drain my battery. It died after 2 hours of screen use (over the day) with texting, web browsing, a check-in or two on Foursquare & Gowalla (no GPS,) and a little gaming. Display, Wi-fi, & Cell Standby were the only listed items for battery drain. I don't understand!
I just bought a Captivate and updated to 2.2. I also have a quick drainging battery issue. Are the phones defective or are all of them likes this ?
Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurbished phone from T-Mobile's insurance replacement. My brother gave the phone to me instead and opted for something else. So phone right out of the box had 100%, used it lightly and I noticed every 4-5 minutes that i spent looking at the screen the phone would drop between 1-2% and this is just me looking at settings and downloading updates. So I figured maybe it was just the updates being intensive.
So I get my case and screen protector and I turn off my phone and let it charge on off to 100%. Turn it back on and start using it like I normally would (keep in mind if I have stamina on) I like to have my screen brightness at the highest while watching videos so I watch 3 videos over my LTE connection on youtube and then I hope into my car and listen to a audio book that's already downloaded. Time lapse was probably about 30-40 minutes.
When I get home the phone is down to 85%. Is it normal to lose 15% in less then a hour on this phone? This worries me because I want to utilize the life log and during my 9 hour shift at work I listen to spotify about 6 of those hours... maybe I have a dud battery? Every where I go everyone says it lasts all day with moderate use... but at this rate my phone would be dead before my shift even ends...

Um what? What kind of phone did you have before? Did it have better battery life? Because the only phone I've ever had that had better battery than the Z3 was my Z1C (usually 7 hours)
Also, max brightness and 5 minutes per 1%? You know that equals 8 hours of screen-on time? IE a better battery than ANY PHONE ON THE MARKET HAS? You need some perspective, your expectations only make sense if you came from a Nokia 5110
I had a iphone 4S before this. My expectations are like this because every where I read reviews everyone says "insane battery life" "Lasts all day" and even the sony site boasted how the phone can last all day with stamina off and with stamina on it can last 2 days and with stamina ultra supposedly a week. This is why I'm worried about what's going on with my device.
If there are better sources with realistic numbers i'd greatly appreciate it to put me to ease.
I just set all the settings on my phone to get the maximum battery life except ultra stamina and even froze/disabled apps that i don't need. Yet I'm still draining just the same, I like to watch videos on youtube and play spotify and watching vids on youtube for about 30-40 minutes I drain about 10% with all the new settings. Brightness is also on minimum now and have that option for it ticked as well.
Just wanted to give feedback on the phone and having it for a week now. The battery life is truely amazing, It almost drains nothing when in standby its like the phone isn't even on at all yet sync is coming in with updates. This is a great phone and I have yet to have it die on me before getting home.
Hey guys. I'm from Brazil and I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920I). My previous smartphone broke almost a month ago, so I may have gotten unused to a high end smartphone. It turns out that it is feeling warm during light use like browsing or Facebook. I can't tell if it started after the firmware update because it was one of the first things that I did when I turned it on for the first time. The temperatures that I am recording hovers around 38 °C to 44 °C. When I switch from Facebook to CPUz it is recording around 52 °C but starts dropping right away reaching around 43 °C. It is not hot, but it bugs me since it doesn't seem right to an octacore smartphone feel warm when browsing.
*I've just recorded a 1 minute video in ultra HD and when I switched to CPUz the temperature was at 70 °C, but also started to drop, stabilizing a little at 51 °C.
I've already cleared the cache and did a factory reset.
Do you guys think that I received a faulty smartphone?
I have the same problem on SM G920F which i bought several days before sometimes it goes around 36c battery and 63-64 cpu with no good reason for , like light usage(like messenger,snapchat) it works fine but its heating up and feels quite annoying for hand did anyone experienced same thing, and will buying a case for phone at least make feel better for hand?
Well, my phone was at 48 °C - 54 °C when it was in my front pocket and running only 4 apps on background (WhatsApp, CPUz, browsing, and outlook). It is not even hot in Brazil right now. Honestly it doesn't seem right!
It is normal. The CPU is just too powerful for heat to not build up.
Rest assured I played Walking War Robots on my phone for an hour and a half until my phone was hot enough for me to not be able to hold it comfortably. Nothing happened, I let it cool down for 10 minutes before Fast Charging it.
If it does not show any overheating message then it is not a problem.
Well considering it was built to be premium model its kinda dissapointing , like being 5 minutes on snapchat or 10 minutes of light usage makes him warm and a LOT of worse phones cant heat unless you like play games 10 minutes or really load them.If i put a case its heating like 10-15 % more.
I m suspicious because i havent seen a lot of people complaing about heating verry few people complainted about this.But phone is really great only problem (for me) is heating.

Thank you, I appreciate it.
It makes sense that such a powerful CPU would generate some heat, but at the same time simple processes like these
shouldn't cause any level of warmness. I also checked the battery temperature which could be damaging for the phone
and it didn't raise the temperature as much the CPU. My phone had just 2 days of use, so I sent it back and I'm waiting for
a replacement. I will keep you posted.

I will say it once again. It's normal.
Ive had this phone for a couple of weeks and im a bit disappointed. The battery life is average at best and the stock charger is not a fast charger. But the thing that annoys me the most is that when i use apps like snapchat chrome and YouTube the phone heats up and it feels very uncomfortable. is this normal because i know snapchat is a huge drainer with the camera and all but if i have the app on for even a couple of minutes and maybe youtube and whatsapp in the background it heats up bad and its really annoying. Im not playing any 3d games is this normal?
I haven't had any heating issues. I don't use snapchat but I do stream alot on Netflix YouTube and I watch premier League games. As far as my battery goes I get a full day out of it so I'm happy with that
Absolutely not normal.
Every evening when I go to bed I browse on it, youtube, music, even mutlitasking with the split window feature and some evenings I can browse/watch youtube for hours.
I have never encountered that it gets even slightly warm, same with my previous Sony XZ.
I had mine in the center console on the way to work and it got very hot and also discharged in the 50min from 100% to 84%. There were not specific apps running.

Battery defect or factory defect just compare to the other unit of your friend so that you can figure it out.
Many complain that the Pixel 6a gets hot or overheats. I have also seen videos were people claim it's only in the beginning while the phone "learns" your usage habits and how to optimize itself accordingly. But later on it doesn't need to run all of its processes like in the beginning once it figured you out, so to speak. (The exception being when you record a 1080 video at 60 frames, which even later on can get problematic.)
Can Pixel 6a users chime in here and recount their experiences? Does the overheating last past the first few weeks after purchasing it?
Bonus question: are the signal issues some complain of widespread, or not?
-----
I really want to get this phone, but I hesitate due to these two issues.
I didn't have overheating issues since I bought the phone 3 months ago.

I have my 6a 2 weeks and I don't have any issues with overheating or bad signal.
Thanks.
Anyone else?
Overheating in the sense that it shuts down with a warning? No, never. But the phone does get annoyingly hot, especially when charging even if I'm not using it at all. That's the phone plus the weather in my country isn't helping. Phone regularly touches 40° according to battery guru, when charging can go up to 43°.
On WiFi things are very normal. Mobile data however is a very different animal. It you have poor signal especially expect this to get pretty hot. Like stated above though, not shut down hot just hotter than what I consider normal. 35-40c battery temps on stock with those conditions isn't unusual.
Initial setup for sure gets toasty as well.
For whatever reason (latest updates maybe?), I've noticed recently that not only does my 6a not overheat, but the battery consumption has dropped significantly. At my admittedly low level of active usage I can easily go two days and still be over 50%. I might try for three full days soon.
I dont have any problems with overhiting , i have phone about 30 days. Playing games recording at 4k no heat problems at all.
Damn bruh...another 'overheating' thread?
Yes. The 6a may get fairly warm in some specific use cases, but it doesn't actually overheat as in start throwin' out warning messages and start throttling or worse, crash/reboot that I've ever witnessed. Actually mine seems to run slightly 'less warm' since A13's beta 2 & 3...just before I flashed a custom kernel. A few things to consider besides differing usage scenarios. If you're using a case, it may not only hinder cooling a little but probably 'feels' less warm due to the insulating properties as well. I try to go with a minimalistic case...it may not provide a lotta cushion if dropped but I'm hoping the improved grip offsets that point. And ofc the thinner the skin to less it retains heat. I went with a grippy Spigen Liquid Air or something like that.
Above all, I keep in mind that the 6a has the same processor as the [email protected] P6 PRO and that also helps me to forgive n forget that it can get toasty at times...plus thst resulting Tensor 'grin-factor' tho...
...just my 2 centz ofc
If you're using mobile data or using the phone as a hotspot thing gets very warm.
Normally, I've only experienced the phone getting very warm when I'm playing a game and charging the phone at the same time. However, on a recent trip to a foreign country, my phone (and its camera) stopped working because it was hot outdoors (around 80°F) and I was outside for 30min or longer. My friends' iphones didn't overheat though.
I haven't experienced any signal problems.
Mine never overheats. Its just warm enough to be a hand warmer, but not enough to damage anything

No overheat warning. Phone felt very warm, froze up and apps would barely respond or it would keep on rebooting. Tried a few times to power off, wait a minute, and then power on to get that last photo, but didn't work. After I got out of the heat for a short time, phone went back to normal. Felt hotter like 95 degrees, but weather report said 80s.
Nothing wrong with my phone per se. My guess is that my phone was in direct sunlight for 30 min. I myself was dying from the heat. And before that, I was already taking pictures on and off for an hour (in the heat but not direct sunlight). I've used the phone before in hot weather without issue, but this time around, it was continued use and in direct sunlight.
My 6a definitely overheats and shuts down sometimes without warning. This has happened numerous times even when the phone is having light use (chrome or connected to android auto). I would say there are 2 factors. When the outside temperature is hot (35c or hotter - which currently in Australia is a daily occurance) and when the signal is not strong (also a very common occurrance here) - when this happens the phone can overheat and shutdown within minutes even with little use.
From my exp. signal strength seems to be the biggest issue. The pixel seems to literally burn through the power when signal is weak and get hot.
Generally I have had a 50% chance of getting a 'Your phone is hot' warning - other times it just turns off.

You should RMA the phone. Sounds like a faulty device to me.
Also, just hot ambient temp does nothing to a phone. If it gets direct sunlight, thats unsafe for the device because of how hot it can get (if you measure temp in your car, it gets up to 60-70C+ easily.) If I use my car in hot sun, I aim an AC vent to its back and then the phone is super chill all through the ride.

Yes, I think I will RMA it. - I don't agree re ambient temp. My phone certainly seems to shut down more often when the ambient is hotter. Also, re the car. I had the phone in the glove box which is separately cooled to 21c and even then it would overheat, - I suspect related to poor signal. But yes - will RMA it.
Try safe mode first. You may have an app which is misbehaving. I've never had my 6a overheat, it will sometimes get a bit warm when charging, but that's it.
