Has anyone experienced the phone getting hot on the bottom area? Even casual usage such as scrolling through social media makes the phone kinda hot.
I included this picture to show where the area which gets hot first. I only noticed it recently.
Edit: I know the phone has overheating issues but I got concerned how it heats up in the bottom part first since the cpu is no the upper part of the phone, hence something else must be causing the heating issue

I don't really know. Does it happen to you too?
Do you experience any unusual battery drainage?
I'm no expert, but judging by your description, you should check what part of the board is there and what could possibly be making the heat.
From what I've read online, a batch of the phones is faulty and has **** cooling so it's basically a lottery.
On mine, there is no overheating even when playing GRID Autosport for an hour.

No not really, no unusual battery drain. If its on standby for the entire night, I'd lose around 4-7%. Fast charging still works and even has the decimals for the charging pop up. Im not really sure but what I heard is that the phone has a faulty IC that's why I'm concerned. Normally the part that would get hot would be the top part as it is where the processor is. But on the bottom, it's the charging port. It tends to get hotter down there first.

Is it hot like all the time or only when charging? Dang I'd be worried too!
Edit: If I were you, I'd open it up and try to figure it out. Maybe try to run it in battery saving mode to see if that helps?

Its normal, i guess? Because yes my phone also heat up but only when playing game or charging!

A friend of mine told me to format my phone and I did. I don't know why but it kinda solved the problem. The bottom part doesn't overheat as much now. I also updated to the 12.5.5 build of global version.
i also got overheating issue but that because i used custom karnel with MIUI EU 12.5.5, well it is because the custom karnel not compatible with MIUI and will cause overheating. So i just flash back the stock karnel and its return to normal no overheating problem phone cool af and playing games not heating phone that much.

Like this,when you are using a Non-Original battery pack,you will have chance to experience this:

Picture from Shadow Nexus
This problem happened since WM2003,when it happened,you will get 83% as top percent of battery,whatever charging or discharging.
Sometimes it will return 100% after reboot.
Backup or Main battery pack???
Main Battery,I'm collecting data
Yes I've been facing battery issues but nothing ever happened like this. Have you ever try Cotulla's BattClear app? It could work.
I had the same issue and some other similar issues but recently nothing happens. I am using the CHS version too.
Yes,I know many chinese user have experienced this problem......

ohh, I don't know, because I still using original battery pack
Can you give me Original Battery Meter???
since we use the same type of battery and as I see we have the same problems with it, what lifetime do you get from it? I get less than 24h. it's the chinese model of dynapack and it is supposed to be 1800mah

Dynapack 1800mAh????
fake battery...
original DynaPack only give 1200mAh...
well it looks just like dynapack,same serial number but it's made in china. i have another 2 batteies an original dynapack made in taiwan and a chinese one that i used for a long time and still it lasts more than 4 days. the problem with the indicator is because the cheap (fake) models don't use the original board but an emulator for it. and so you only get from it a constant 181 mah drain and 26 degrees celsius

these are my reading from the battery pack
Well,now I know why so many people in China have experienced this problem...
Seems it reported a fake capacity sometimes.
But the Voltage of Battery is true.
Reality 83% power never came with 4.1-4.2 Voltage.
83%*1.21=1.0043
82%*1.21=0.9922
Code:
if((BatteryPercentage<84) && (g_bTmpBatteryVoltage>4000)){
IsBatteryPercentNeedFix=TRUE;
}
if(IsBatteryPercentNeedFix){
BatteryPercentage*=1.21;
if(BatteryPercentage>100) BatteryPercentage=100;
}
Hope this works...
Happened again...
Seems my code worked.
i have a battery that has problems only with the indicator. temp, battery drain and voltage appears to work correctly but for some reason the phone thinks it drains faster than it is. it's kinda annoying since when it reaches to 0 it doesn't shut down but in closes tha main functions including the phone and camera. after a reset it shows the correct percentage but agains it drains to 0 in a short time. battery life is normal (3-4 days). Is there a way to override the battery app to somehow fix this ?
Hmm...
Yes, sometime I feel it too.
But, i don't know why, nowadays the trouble seems away.
it would be great if somehow we could patch the original battery app to return the percentage depending on the voltage and we could set the lower and upper values in mV to represent 0% and 100% and automatically adjust the scale. i think that would fix a lot of problems including damaged batteries that still have a working voltmeter
yea me too... happened to me recently, before upgrading my old magician... after upgrading it with cotulla's ROM, still encountering the problem, but it's no big deal...
Funny i don't own a magician anymore but was looking from nostalja & i find this, anyway cut to the chase i have an extended battery on Kaiser and have had the same scenario, all beit i pop battery give 5 mins and reinsert charge and all fine.
Just funny the 83% as i run 2700 and still same %.
Hi, Is there any full proof method of fixing my phone battery so it shuts off at 0%?
My bacon shuts down at 8% - 4% usually.
and when it does shut down it blacks out. I don't get that pop up with a spinning circle saying you're phone is not shutting off.
Well, unless thats how the OPO shuts off by just immediately blacking out?
I checked to see if it was because my undervolt, so i brought back the voltages to stock, and unfortunately, the problem still remained.
I know you arent suppose to run these batteries dry, but it just irritates me that it would shut down at the 8% mark.
So any suggestions and fixes would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If you know that, then why the hell would you want to do it just so that you damage the non-replacable battery and potentially leave yourself with a brick?

The battery percentage displayed on your phone isn't exact, not at all, it's only an estimate based on the voltage level it's detecting at the battery. So if your phone shuts down at 4% it really isn't a big deal. If it's bugging you so much you can use a battery calibration app from the Play Store to try to re-calibrate the battery.
But, if you're letting the device get that low regularly, which it seems like you are, you're damaging the battery. You even admit that you're aware of this. So why do it? Running a lithium battery down regularly decreases its capacity, just like keeping it at peak voltage too much does too. So it's entirely possible that what you're experiencing is a symptom of your own bad battery usage behavior.

Gee, I don't know
Maybe I like to see a full screen on time, testing kernels and roms?
or maybe, I didn't expect my phone to shut down at 8%, so I wanted to see if it wasn't just a one time thing because the unknown piques human curiosity
Maybe as a newer model phone, I'm putting some faith into solid build materials from the phone?
My nexus 4 has been run down many times naturally being at school or work and what not, and the battery still runs like a champ.
Useful sentiments here
Right so I've been playing with my phone that I've had for a while, but never seriously until this past week... and that's when I started noticing that it overheats. Pretty badly.
For example, I was playing Dead Ahead, a game that I didn't think was too intensive since my ipod touch 4g can play the game without any issues aside from some lag. All of a sudden after like, 20 minutes of play time, the damn phone starts getting so warm that I can feel it through the protective screen I put on my phone's front. After running a temperature check, it was near 40 degrees C inside there.
The weird thing is that it seems to take forever for it to cool. An hour after the above incident, the cpu was still clocking in at around 35 c, After I read a Cleaner(esque) App to kill all the running apps to try to prevent any more issues.
So I guess the question is, what's wrong here? I saw on the forums that the phone has a tendency to overheat a bit, but this type of overheating is ridiculous. I'm using the official OP flip case if that makes any difference. If y'all need stats and stuff just tell me how to post it/what you need and I'll gladly provide it. It's a shame cause I like this phone, I'd hate to have to dump it over an issue like this.
40°C is nothing to worry about, these phones can get way higher than that without any real serious consequences. I'm pretty sure I've seen mine over 60°C. Just sitting here typing this message on Tapatalk has me device at this temp:

So don't stress, and remember games are very CPU and battery intensive, so it's natural for it to heat up a bit. And really, 40° on any Android device is actually a pretty low to mid temperature. So it isn't overheating, if it was overheating it would shut down due to the thermal shutoff. It's just heating up, and not very much.

Really? My ipad 2 and ipod touch (yeah I'm migrating) never had issues playing the same game with overheating...
but if what you say is true then I guess it's ok, but it was still getting warm enough that it was getting a bit hot to hold...
More importantly I think there's still a battery draining app on the phone since it woke up dead this morning after leaving it unplugged at night so I think that may be the issue... at least I hope it is. Now I need to go back and uninstall everything up until this issue first presented itself.
Oh I'm running the OTA cyanogenmod if you're curious, thanks for the reply.
My N5, running XtraSmooth + stock Google kernel recently started heating up a lot. Now I know its summer time and naturally it would tend to get hot, but my father's N5 is always very cool to the touch. Even in an air conditioned house running a stability test brought my N5 to temps as high as 86°, whilst the other N5 was just about hitting 50°. My battery gets notably hot too, and of course that hinders my battery life too. Does anyone know what's going on?

My guess would be you have an app/process running full wack on your phone running up the CPU and draining battery. Look at battery stat screen maybe that will help. Try factory reset and run it empty for 30mins or so (no account no apps) then set up one account and app at a time.
Android malware/virii are on the rise, and I was hit with something that did this but did not show up on the battery monitor of any app.
I strongly suggest an immediate full wipe and clean flash, as well as changing your passwords if you truly want to be safe.

Hey, I tried that earlier today but to no avail, battery stats look normal, Facebook is the only third party app that uses battery, but only 2% at that too. It's only kept the phone awake for 50s, and CPU total is 2m so it doesn't look like its Facebook, but my battery still idles at 40-45°. I wiped and started again from scratch but first I let the phone set for 2 hours to let ART finish carrying out any optimisations so the phone could cool down and perform optimally. Antutus stress test still ramped my CPU all the way to 80° whilst the other N5 hit 71° this time around, it quickly went back down and cooled off quickly yet my Nexus took forever.

Mines stared to do it too I'm on stock and ElementalX. I've hit 85°C and as it's still rising turned it off. I've seen a few reports of this. I've no idea what it is but suspect an app update. I've used greenfly and Amplify to lock everything down and it seems to work. Its at 52 and charging ATM. Until I did that I couldn't use the phone and charge at the same time

I just changed ROMs altogether, even after wiping I was still getting ridiculous temperature gains, more worryingly so for my battery. I remembered during winter to keep the phone cool I added adhesive copper to the battery and CPU, I applied thermal paste and made the copper thicker, I also *removed* the copper from the battery, since during summer time it'll only make things worse. That seemed to have worked since my battery isn't anywhere near as hot anymore. The CPU still gets very hot - around 80° still, but it seems to level out much quicker than before.

Hi all,
My s8 plus is getting warm when it is in my pocket but when i keep it outside , it stays very cool. Also while sleeping as well if i keep my phone under the pillow it is warm when i pick it up in the morning, i am not sure why this is happening
I have even switched on block accidental touches option, its still the same
What could be the issue, my idle battery drain is very bad as well , i am thinking its linked to this issue.
My guess is that the screen is on or coming on.
If it's not the screen IDK.
Thanks for the reply.. if the screen was turning on, it should be visible in the battery usage right, but its not , yesterday night I kept my phone under my pillow and my battery drained almost 25% .. attaching screens ..
Another strange thing is if I sum all the drained mah it's only coming around 500 mah but battery has nearly lost 40% .. what drained my remaining battery ?

Any software that's using Wi-Fi causes this. It was caused by Alcatel link app for me. I forced closed it and it was fine.
I don't have any wifi related app installed, and I am confused why it happens only when it is pocket or under pillow , I think something to do with the proximity sensor but I am not able to nail down the issue. And the battery usage is completely bonkers , it cant even show what drained the battery and what was happening that time.

Have you run a comparison, from full charge, between outside pocket, off vs inside time re: drain?
Check the apps usage list or install s.t. like Greenify or the like as a secondary check.
Install a data monitoring app and see if what processes work in the background.
I have the same problem. But then I realized that the pillow and the pocket are warm because of your body's temperature. As long as there aren't any battery drain issues, it is nothing to worry about.

:good:
If anyone is interested .. this is the battery drain if I keep my phone out .. fair drain around 5 to 6 %
I think it's AOL.
After a full reset and no apps installed , no more heating in pocket or under pillow, so it was definitely one of the apps , Android battery usage is useless i guess, it cant even track what is draining the battery.
what other battery apps track the usage of apps correctly?
