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.
I have through time noticed my phone being quite hot to the touch while it's being charged. Be it while in it's (condom) case or lying inadvertently underdeath my pillow while I sleep. My battery life was never great, but was sufficient, but I'm afraid now that it's at about %50-60 of what it once was.
I haven't treated this phone any differentyl than I have the other phones I've previously owned, but the durability of this battery is suspect! I'd love to get a battery replacement for it, but I don't think that's an option at this point.
Anyone else notice this? I've read another post where someone else noticed similar results with their battery life while charging their phone and playing games.
First of all, all smartphones gets hot while playing games and charging at the same time.
And charging the phone do generate small amount of heat, so do not put it underneath your pillow while charging. (shouldn't be hot to touch though)
If you are not doing anything mention above and the battery is still getting dangerously hot while charging, contact Google customer service (if its from play store) or your carrier.
*Do not use third party charger if possible.

Did you ever think about that this phone has a quad core processor that throttles at 70 degrees Celsius. That's 158F. Where's the heat going to go? Surely the heat will go somewhere but it will heat up the plastic somewhat.
FYI: shouldn't sleep with your phone under your pillow.

Hey guys I replaced my 6p battery with an eBay unit that's clearly not an oem replacement. It does the job so far however whenever I'm outside in the cold this thing drops to zero in a matter of minutes. I'm thinking it's probably because it's a cheap Chinese knockoff. You guys know of any places where I can source an OEM replacement battery
Thank you

I wasn't able to find one. Ordered several that said they were OEM but when they arrived they were some knockoffs. Huawei ended up replacing mine despite being out of warranty.
I haven;t been able to find a genuine battery either. Some randomly turn the phone off. Some have no temperature sensor so there's potential for overheating. One of them wouldn't charge past 93%. On the positive side, I am a pro at opening this phone up now. Kind of miss having 2 extra batteries that I could swap into my G3.

Funny...I saw that one just earlier today. The thing I found interesting is that the sticker on that "OEM" battery looks a fair bit different than the sticker that can be seen when a 6P is disassembled...so that smells a bit fishy to me personally
Just bought this battery from amazon,
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IOJSN3E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ive been playing music and its been holding charge more than the battery that was in there.
i will let battery drain zero and then charge it up and see how it holds up. It came charged at 33 and after 30 minutes of use its at 30 % ..
im excited to see the results, the battery was $13 USD and got delivered in two days, came in a yellow bubbled envelope and the battery was in a little box that said nexus 6p
one thing i noticed was that the flex cable was running from the bottom of the battery as opposed to the OEM that ran on top of the battery, it sits well, but honestly i did see a gap in size. the OEM battery actually filled in the whole compartment and the after market one left some space. i attached it and now im using the phone outside in the cold (im in Riverside CA) and its raining outside, and it seems to be holding up..
opening the phone wasnt hard, got the needed tools from a local dollar store, phillips precision screw driver, a hobby blade kit and it was super simple to open.

Will be interested to hear your report back after some continued discharging and recharging and seeing how it holds up. My battery life is manageable still, but it certainly isn't great lol I just don't know how much I want to open this thing haha
So after draining the battery a couple of times I'm charging it it would seem that this battery is holding up very well definitely holding up better than the battery I had before. This is still happens from when I charged it from 0 to 95 it sticks at 95 and doesn't move from there up until I disconnect and reconnect the cable but after that it does charge up to 100..
On Accu battery the battery reports at 97% health but I'm sure that the difference is probably off due to calibration. One thing that does puzzle me is the capacity that the battery is reporting the capacity that I see even though the battery is a bit smaller than the original battery is reporting 5413 mAh . I'm guessing that after a few more runs it would fix the capacity amount because it doesn't seem right. Yesterday I didn't notice that the phone got very hot in the matter of minutes while laying down on the counter charging at first which kind of worried me because I have never had that issue with this phone before. The phone is working way better than it was before and I could have got it sent out to Huawei and got replaced but I wanted to fix the battery issue as I grew fond of this phone and would not trust a replacement phone to make up for this one. Opening up the phone's very simple I found it surprising that it was so simple as it just takes a hobby blade and a playing card a debit card to slide under the battery and patience I was done with the process in about 15 minutes at the phone running and the battery was charged at 32% I will report back periodically but I honestly do believe that this battery is of good quality and definitely does hold up 2 what was advertised

Does the battery temperature change or is it a constant temp? Sounds like one of the batteries that I tried. It would stop charging around 95% too. But it had no, or non-functioning temperature sensor that read a constant 25 degrees. I deemed it unsafe and disposed of it.
Now that I think of it, you're right. Its at a steady 25 degrees on mine as well

They probably used a resistor in place of an actual temperature so the circuit would give a false reading instead of no reading at all. That's disturbing because fast charging uses the battery temp to adjust it's charging speed for safety and longevity of the battery. And it says a lot about the quality in general and what other protections were omitted. Having said that, I think the chances of actually having a problem are low. But even that was too high a risk for me.

If there is no, or circumvented protection circuitry to prevent overheating and shorts, which it appears there is. Then the worst that can happen is thermal runaway followed by venting flame at 1,000 degrees. Similar to the Note 7 or hoverboard videos you may have seen.

the higher one i'm speaking of is after charging it. that's the capacity it calculated, but that's been changing every time after i charge up, i left the house today at 10:30 and took the phone off the charger then, right now at 2:34 pm Pacific Cali time i am at 73% on L-OS Rom,
i had noticed that CM based roms always drained faster than stock roms, so im running this rom to see the longevity of the battery life on this vs stock to finally come to a conclusion on battery quality after i run stock

Cool. Thanks for sharing your results. I am currently in RMA hell with google and my 6p. They keep sending me refurbed phones with original batteries. My OG which was manufactured in December 2015 had 95% battery life and the ones I have been receiving have been 72% and 84%. Currently waiting on the 3rd one. Hopefully a reliable OEM aftermarket option surfaces JIC.

General question about doing a RMA with Huawei...do you have to send your phone back first and wait several weeks to get it back or will they send you a phone first and you have a certain amount of days to send your old one back, or else you get charged the full value of the phone that was sent first?
thanks!

That will happen no matter what.. enjoy your phone... get new one after year or two.
This guy just likes to troll, don't pay any attention to him. Look at his post history.
For the record, 44C is on the higher side but my M7 regularly hit 48C and had the same battery life it did out of the box a year later. There are varying degrees of battery quality. You'll kill your battery more leaving it to trickle charge all the time than from 44C temps. You'll also kill it faster the more times you charge it to 100% than the temps will.
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.
9
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.

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 ?
