I've had my thunderbolt for awhile now and ive been noticing how hot it gets when streaming movies I downloaded a battery temp widget and at ruined it gets above 107 wstreaming movies or downloading, I do live in Atlanta and it is on the high 90,s but I didn't seem to b noticing this on my incredible. I'm rooted and have been running diffrent time running gingeritis v1.0 now
If you're that worried, quit overclocking. Also, not all the heat is from the cpu; some is given off by the internals related to the antenna, but shouldn't be a problem unless it's used excessively over a long period of time. I've had it overheat and reset from doing a large download over LTE for a few hours.
Not really concerned more curious to wether everyone else is seeing fast heat up to
It's almost 100 degrees out, you are streaming movies and OC'd, and you are wondering if the phone getting hot in conditions like this is abnormal

You have to remember that most of that heat is generated because of the reactions within the battery to supply power to the phone. So the more draw you put on the battery the hotter it's going to get. Lithium batteries are notorious for running high temps when being charged/discharged. It's part of the price you pay to have more capacity is a smaller space.
I flown RC heli's for years, so I'm very familiar with how lithium batteries react. They pack alot of power in minimum space, but they can be dangerous is certain situations (that's why cars like the Prius still do not use them in production because of the fire risk).
Just a bit of info to think about.
There's a good thread on xda that's has documented on several test that LTE is the cause of the overheating. The test was done on stock ruu with no OC. Of course being Oc'd doesn't help your case, but I've noticed LTE in weak areas can raise battery temperature up to 107 degrees Fahrenheit without streaming video or having any rogue applications running. I've also reduced cpu speed to 744 mhz with no luck. Hopefully new RUU releases will address this problem.
I'll post the thread when I get a chance.

I don't believe that is the cause at all, as I have 4G, and use it, where I live all day, and OC to 1.4, I have never had overheating problems at all. He was outside in almost 100 degree weather, streaming movies, there isn't a fan cooling the phone, that temperature is normal.
I'm outside during the week in 80-85 degree weather, streaming music on a sunny day and my phone gets hotter than normal, because it is working harder than normal.
The OP is downloading or streaming movies in hot weather when it gets hot. 2 data & processor intensive tasks, you can't expect it to stay cool at normal temperature in conditions like that.

That's certainly another factor I didn't consider.
I understand all that I've played with all the processor speeds and observed how of reacts in difrent situations compared to the incredible and even on 3g under all same conditions it heats up at a way faster rate, not saying the reason its overheating isn't my fault nor do I ever let it get past a safe level just wondering
OP, trust me your phone is not "Overheating" at 107. If it gets to 125/130+ then you have a problem but these phones were built to withstand the temps you are seeing.
Basically, don't worry about it.
The biggest thing i have noticed is that when i recharge with the power cord at home, it don't get hot. But when i recharge with a cig adaptor, it runs pretty hot. But on the flipside of that, If i use my wifes cig charger that came with her LG ally, it don't overheat. These phones are drama queens about charging

That may be because of the quality of the chargers you are using. Electrical power is kind of like water. The bigger the pipes the better the flow. If you have a good pipeline, less heat because the battery doesn't have to work so hard pulling the electricity in.
A wall charger (spec'd for your phone) is probably the best choice, you wife's cig charger may just be a bit better quality with thicker gauge wiring.
I know this is a pretty simplified explanation, but hopefully it makes sense.

i've gotten close to 130 on several Thunderbolts. and it's not even that hot in SoCal yet. i've seen over 1200ma before a few times. this was on non-rooted Thunderbolts.

it's also possible that the Ally requires less power. The Thunderbolt is spec'd for charging at 5V/1A. If the Ally is 5V/800ma, then it would not get as hot when charging the Ally. Out of curiosity, what does the charger spec as voltage/amperage?

My TBOLT gets pretty warm, but I've never had any real problems with it. I did however when I was on the Incredible. I agree, I wouldn't worry about it.
Okay just to let buyers know, the evolution 3d does not last as long as the anker battery. I have both and used both for a week, I would say theres a 15% difference. If I get the chance ill do a video run down test, but my hypothesis to this is the fact that the Anker produces so much less heat. Its ridiculous how much heat comes out of the OEM batteries

You know, I was thinking exactly the same thing about the heat.
Ive seen the tests where the anker holds around 13% more charge than the htc battery, then I see posts were people get up to 30% longer use out their phone using the anker. After using the anker I can confirm the phone feels a lot cooler during heavy use. These type of batteries discharge quicker if they get too hot, so it makes sense that it should perform better than its capacity compared to the stock battery if it keeps a lot cooler.
Cheers
Agreed, I wish the OEM batteries were built from the same materials. The over heating causes the battery to burn more when doing every day tasks. Cause I'm sure people by now know that a battery running at 35C will deplete faster than a battery running at 25C. I am looking into the Mugen 3D battery. THe problem I have with the anker is that it messes with my vibration, but no one else seems to have this problem. WHen I say messes with it, the size difference causes the phone to vibrate weirdly.
I have heard reports that the EVO 3d battery runs cooler actually and runs longer, but Im not sure what to think, id say the difference could not be as high as 15%. I have the anker and it runs great, I decided to buy the EVO 3d battery aswell, from a reputable dealer, and ill give it a go and see, im just checking for heat differences.

I dont get how the battery is operating at a high temp ? , when my phone says battery at 35C or more if you take the case off its not the battery thats hot its the phone under the sim and memory card ? is it just me ?
i think its suggestable that when the phone gets hot its the heavy use thats running the battery down and not the heat as the battery (in my phone anyway) has maybe only changed by a degree or so
i dunno this is just something thats been bugging me whether it is the battery or is the the processor ....

I agree, even when feeling the back of the phone cover when its hot it feels like the heat is mainly lower down the back of the phone than where the battery is positioned. However, If its mainly the processor thats getting hot and not the battery, why does the Anker battery make the phone feel cooler compared to using the stock battery? ...Hmmm, could it be beacuse the Anker battery is metal its acting as a kind of heat sink for the phone? ... keeping it cooler.
Cheers
this thing is damn confusing me so much... I have to choose between Anker and Eco 3D battery...
I just have a concept that Anker will not give much charge cycles compared to Eco 3D battery

I agree with you on this
It is the battery heating up when using an EVO battery. The Anker does run cooler for some reason. The Anker does not report temperature, the EVO battery does however. The Anker is actually a 1700mah and the EVO is supposed to be a 1730mah but I have not tested it to confirm it. I will probably do this in a couple days to see if it does in fact hold as much as the Anker because I personally prefer OEM to aftermarket when it comes to batteries. Heat or not.

I use the Chichitec battery and it runs great. It does not get nearly as hot as with the original Sensation battery but I know for a fact that it can't go through as many cycles.
I got the two batteries and the charger for $30. I used one battery more frequently and discharged with every new ROM I flashed. I found over time that battery #2 (I labelled them) was not holding a charge as long as #1 which I'd discharged fewer times.
As such, I don't discharge my batteries anymore after reading that these kind of batteries have actually gone through a cycle when it's below 50% and complete discharging is bad for its life. Overall, I get more battery life out of these batteries than the stock batteries.
I've looked around and either most people are confused as to whether they're talking about battery temps or CPU temps or cannot come up with a definitive answer.
I'm looking for an answer on CPU temps and not one of those "I've seen a phone get up to 1000 degrees once and still work" I mean I'd like to know what a phone can consistently(hours at a time) run at without causing damage.
Reason I ask is when I tether my CPU is at 140 F and the Battery is at 109 F. Now I'm not too overly concerned about the battery I'm fairly confident that 109 isn't damaging it. I am concerned about the CPU though as I have no clue when the "danger zone" is tripped temperature wise. If someone could enlighten me it would be appreciated.
When it's gets that hot, I'll remove my battery and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then I'll swap it out for another new battery off the wall charger.

Usually at this point I remove the back cover and place the phone upside down in front of a fan which cools it but I would like to know if this is even necessary....
Higher temperatres for batteries are not good for them at any time, they will speed up the degredation of the battery itself. That being said, it routintely gets 109 degrees in the summer where I live and I rarely have a battery problem, you will noticed a shorter life span on batteries both while they are being used and over several charge and discharge cycles. The battery will naturally heat up while charging, especially using the rapid-charge methods most phones use right now or when charging from a very low charge.
As far as the CPU goes, 140 degrees is about 60 C, most CPU's can tolerate up to around 70-75 C without causing problems. Also, IIRC most boards have a cutoff if the device gets too hot to operate, I know the iPhone does so I would imagine that Android devices do as well.
That leaves it a matter of your own comfort, if it is too hot for you to actully hold onto and use - that I have seen before, in which case the best method for cooling it off is to actually turn the phone off, remove the battery and let it sit at room temperature until the device cools. Using a fan will work but is far less effective. The use of power-saving mode can also help because a good portion of heat in the battery while discharging is due to the CPU and Power Saving mode sets the CPU to favor lower processing speeds, which of course lowers heat. This does assume you're not doing something with your phone that will tax the CPU.

Are you confident about the CPU temps??? I put the fan on my phone because I still want to do the same functions I am doing(mainly tethering using upload and download)

Just flashed to CleanRom and my cpu is OC'D TO 1.99 GHZ. I was wondering, it feels kinda warm, so what temperature should be normal?
Another thing to keep in mind about batteries and high temperatures is that the negative effect from the high temperature is at it's worst the higher the charge level. So if it's going to be getting hot--it's best to not keep it plugged in constantly.

It may not have dawned on you yet but that battery does not "hold the full charge amount (in mAh) anymore" is in most users mind the very definition of "my f****** battery is gone"!
With the all the pressure on the manufacturers to make the batteries small and the urge to build faster units the usable battery lifespan takes a hit. Even a 20% shorter battery charge time feels frustrating when heavy users may already struggle to make it last a full day with some phones.
So, "way longer than that" (3 years)…? I don’t think so!

I have never heard anyone being able to prove fast charging causing shortened battery life. There are a lot of guessing around, but the only difference I have seen is that the phone gets slightly warmer to the touch both after fast charging with cable and wireless. Not so hot so that I would suspect damage. After all, since the charging ends a lot faster the total amount of heat surely isn't higher than that with slow charging. Using the phone will sometimes make it warmer than this.
One could perhaps suspect a higher risk for fire with fast charging, but there is no proof for that either.
The choice is yours!

If you want battery to last longer you do not need to disable anything, instead follow these steps
1. Charge battery to 80 - 85% and not 100%. Stop leaving it overnight.
2. Don't let it fall to 0%, keep it between 20 - 80% charge.
3. Do use phone while charging. You do not want battery heating up.
4. Top up the battery in between your day but keep it within the range above.
5. Keep phone away from to much subglight or warm temperatures. Heat is the biggest enemy of Li-on batteries.

This might have been true many years ago for on old generation of batteries and phones, not for the batteries and smart phones of today. You cannot damage the battery by over charge, there is automatic over charge protection.
You equally cannot do harm to the battery by using it all the way down. There is protection against this also. The system will sense when it is approaching the level that will do any damage at all to the battery and shut down.
No need to worry, just use your phone. There is nothing you can do to make the battery better or worse!

No you are getting it wrong. Don't leave overnight not because it over charges but the fact that you don't want to go upto 100%. Plus everytime you go to 0 battery loses it one cycle. Whatever I say is based on Google research and latest research so it still holds true. For battery longevity never take it to extreme and avoid heating it.

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Google Pixel 2 XL can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Charging speed is fine and fast.

I'm finding it slow despite the fact it displays fast charging while using official cable and charger. My Note 8 is so much faster.
Mine 2 XL was really slow,It took 2h to charge from 30% to 100%.
A Youtuber points out the same issue, he got 2h 30m to charge 2 XL from 0% to 100%.
According to what I have seen from YouTube reviewers, charging speed is ridiculous (not in a good way). How can I possibly leave my Oneplus 5 dash charge for this?? Sigh.
For me it charges quite quickly up to 95%, but the last 5% are a drag. And I'm using the cable and charger that came with the phone.
My OG XL charged much quicker!
Wow, the bad news is just piling on. I might have to cancel my pre-order.
please calm down a bit. Charging slow the last part after 80% or so is not bad but very good because it saves your battery. There is nothing to prevent this so if OP5 charges the last part faster the battery will wear out faster.

Yes, they are supposed to throttle the charging after it hits a certain percentage (sounds like 80 in this case) but once it gets high enough the high amps can damage the battery, possibly overcharge it etc. 2.5 hours from 0%-100% doesn't sound terrible to me but maybe I'm not as picky as most....
Did anyone try charging the phone with a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible charger to see if there's any difference?
Mine charges between 2500-2800 mAh before the threshold with the screen off, around 1000 mAh with the screen on.
When charging at home, it takes 2hrs from 20%-100%. I just started charging it at work, and it shot up from 20%-85% in 15 mins. Now it's charging slowly going to 100%.
What kind of mA are y'all getting? Seems around 2000 at best which is pretty underwhelming. Half that with screen on...
This is with the out of box charger.
I want the good camera but man does op5 do so many things better than this at half the price. ?

I feel the same way. OP5T could potentially be better in most segments except for the camera which obviously is the best thing about the Pixel 2.
Asking again, did someone try to charge the phone with a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible charger to see if there's any difference?

Dont have my Pixel 2 xl yet but I'm also thinking about getting OP5t instead.
Better Display, better charging time, overclocked processor, less bezels all in all less issues .. :/ Not sure anymore.

Yep. Not sure anymore is exactly where I'm at unfortunately.
At this point, I've decided to just wait until December-January to see if anything changes with the quality of the screens/issues with the Pixel 2XL, if it gets better - I'll definitely get it, if not? See what the reviews for the 5T say and get it instead if they'll be positive.
I really, really wanted the new Pixels to be a smash hit and was ready to place my pre-order right away, but I'll let time to its thing for now since there's WAY TOO much negative surrounding the 2XL and for a good reason I guess.
you are paying the premium for camera these days. op5 pretty much does everything else better imo even with jelly scrolling.
Just plugged my phone in now. 74% and it says 52 minutes until charged. :-/

That's straight up slow charging. Poor performance.

You mean to say that although the chip is compat with QC 3 there is no QC 3 charger included with the phone ?
