Noticed it as well. My advice ?

Step 1. Buy a silicone gel casing.

Step 2. Place it around your phone.

Step 3. ???

Step 4. Profit.

Basically just ignore it - I'm pretty sure up to 40 celsius is alright, and the only reason why you notice it so much on Arc is because of how thin the device is. With summer coming though, I'd lay off gaming in direct sunlight :p

[Xperia Arc General] jakhan86:
mine averages around 35. my 3G is always on and when on skype vc for a long time, it hits 43/44 too. but its due to the thinness of the handset.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
It make not be incredibly thick but given the size of it's footprint, the components can probably be spaced out a bit more allowing the heat to dissipate more effectively.

My arc also heating up when I play dungen defender is really really hot especially the LCD screen...i feel that the tempreture is more than 60C ... will it damage the phone?
[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Jesus people, youre running a 1GHz CPU and a 3D graphics card flat out in a package not much bigger than a PCMCIA card, i think you can expect it to get a little warm.

When i think about the size of the heatsink+fan i had fitted to my first 1GHz desktop CPU to keep it from melting itself into a puddle of silicon, i'm amazed that modern phones manage to keep from spontaneously combusting.
[Xperia Arc General] azian_advanced:
^ what he said. remember, with higher processing power comes with higher heat discharge.

kinda offtopic but compared to the x10 where the cpu is under the battery, the heat would transfer to the battery causing it to overheat and reboot. i'm glad SE placed the cpu away from the battery.

it also seems like they've added a larger metallic plate (can be seen under the battery) in the Arc for improved heat dissipation.
[Xperia Arc General] D-jack:
+1. although bat temperature almost the same with my old phone, arc definitely feel err, cooler?
[Xperia Arc General] conscubus:
Hi guys,

My first time to post here, I know its normal for arc s to heat up when playing games. But is it also normal if on idle? it heats up to 38 degrees celcius. It concerns me because it drains my battery so much. Thanks!
[Xperia Arc General] realfelix:
all CPUs nowadays have a temperature threshold up to 70°C .. that means if the phone hits this temperature it will shutdown automatically, if this doesnt happen you dont have to worry :) and i think you will feel the difference between 40 and 70°C :P
[Xperia Arc General] conscubus:
Thanks for clarifying mate :) . What concerns me though is when its idle after charging @100% sittin' there say like 10-20 mins, check battery and boom! almost 50% was lost.

Ok, you mean the Home Screens. Sorry, I thought you meant the desktop of a computer OS like Windows 7 or OSX. In which case I was stumped.

There's no option for that on the A500 it seems. Not sure if that's due to Acer or Google. But you can put your games in the Game Zone if you wish, I use that as a replacement for Home Screen folders. Just go into your app drawer and look for the Games shortcut. It also links to Multimedia, ebooks and social so you can throw those kind of apps into those areas as well and switch through quickly.

Hope this helps.

[Captivate General] underoath1:
Hey all. Sorry ahead of time if this is being posted in the wrong section.

I ran AIO on my rooted captivate running 2.2

I clicked flash custom rom which booted me into recovery. This i selected the firefly 3.0 zip file and in the recovery i didn't see the option to intstall from zip so i chose to reboot phone which brought me to the yellow downloading screen and says do not turn on target.

Its been hung there for about 30 minutes. Im not sure why because i didnt chose to install the the rom package.

Is this going to be a brick? what would be the recommended course of action to take from here?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
the big triangle is download mode. you dont need to be there.

hold volume + and power until it reboots.

read the instructions that AIO gives you!!!

you were supposed to click "re-install package " 2 times,

then choose "choose zip"

read the instructions.

READ ALOT MORE THAN JUST AIO BEFORE FLASHING!

the forums are full of information to learn!

this is programming a phone. it is not childs play and there is ALOT

to learn before you do anything. you CAN permanently do damage!
[General Questions and Answers] Bvizzle:
I go out at night mostly so by the time i leave the house my phones battery is about 75% full. I have the LG G2x. My question is sometimes before i leave i'll see that it's 75% full so i'll charge it back to 100% before i leave. Does charging the phone without it being drained damage the battery? should i just leave it alone next time i go out? sorry if this is already a thread just point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
You're not damaging your battery :) But if you never drain the battery completely, i'm not sure how good the battery will be after 6 month, so i recommend you drain it completely every couple of weeks.
[General Questions and Answers] l4g4rt0:
There are several opinions about keeping battery health for more time. Recharging at 75% is not one of them, but it's not the worth of it.

Here's what i know and what i've heard:

* some manufacturers (laptops) have software that don't allow the battery to charge when it's over 80 to 90% - they say it helps on battery life

* it's common sense that you should recharge when you have 20 - 40% and do a full cycle once in a while (this is what i do)

In my opinion, charging only 25% of the charge in a regular basis will not really help to keep battery life...

[General Questions and Answers] l4g4rt0:
Yes. You should not drain your battery all the time. Use normally, charge it when below 40% and yes, charge it back to full - that's the ideal thing.
[General Questions and Answers] Przeszczep:

[General Questions and Answers] xotennisbabexo:
So I've been reading all these articles about rooting the Samsung Captivate and they all seem to say that rooting gives you the equivalent of admin access and basically its really useful.

What I want to know is if it is safe? I'm not really good at these things and I'm afraid that if I root it I might just screw up my phone because I don't understand what I'm doing. Also I've read that rooting your phone can sometimes render your phone unusable...is that a serious issue for the captivate?

I mainly want to just be able to have a complete backup, and be able to download apps from third party websites. (I have AT&T) I think rooting lets you do all that.

Also, I see all this talk about ROM's or something and I really don't understand what that is.

If i root my phone, will it wipe any data I have stored on my phone, like contacts and apps or something? Will I still be able to receive software updates from AT&T?

Please help...Thanks sooo much!!!
[General Questions and Answers] l4g4rt0:
Hello there,

In first place, ROMs it's the name we usually call for the OS images that you run in your phone. You have the manufacturer ROM, with (probably) operator stuff in it. You can have a very different OS image, with different layout, more options (there are beautiful things around like CyanogenMod), etc. So, installing new ROMs sometimes is like installing a new Android OS on your phone (not exactly but something like that).

Rooting your phone doesn't clean your data, but it's always a good practice to do an application/data backup. Backup software: Titanium Backup (i use it and i really like it).

By adding an Android Recovery loader, you will have the possibility to make a nandroid backup which really allows you to keep EVERYTHING! (that happens after you root the phone, of course).

Advantages of having a rooted phone:

* removing operator applications you don't like in the standard ROM

* run 'root-only' software

* installing new ROMS

* upgrading the OS version of your phone to higher than supported by the manufacturer (some features may not work in this case)

Disadvantages:

* you may void your warranty

* you may brick your phone

* you can be messing around for a long time before having your phone stable once again :) (if you are curious to keep trying different ROMS, and app2sd and other add-ons)

Bricking your phone may happen if in the procedure to root your phone you need to flash it. In my case, I have a LG P500 and had the Android 2.2.2 - to root it I had to flash a 2.2 version and that was the risky part (some people say that 1 in every 4 phones get bricked in this procedure which I find very exagerated!)

So read the procedures carefully and have your phone with battery full before doing any rooting procedures. Do things calmly, follow every single step and if your get unsure of something, stop, ask, and after that move forward. You will be really happy when your phone is rooted !! :)
[General Questions and Answers] xotennisbabexo:
thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] adt6247:
The previous responder was a little zealous with the warnings. I have a Captivate, which is rooted and running a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7).

First, rooting will not brick your phone. In theory, you void your warranty by doing so, but it's really easy to restore to factory state.

I don't recommend a custom ROM for someone who has basic questions like you've just asked. I'd reccommend first trying to get root, and run apps like Titanium backup, SGS Tools, etc. Be careful, research what you're doing, and make lots of backups. So long as you can enter download mode, you can flash back to factory.
[General Questions and Answers] gio22:
I was right where you are last August. I agree with ADT who says that you should root first and then work with apps that require root. Titanium Backup has been the most valuable for me out of all of those.

The chances of bricking your phone when you only root it is minimal. I guess it's possible, but honestly, I cannot see how. There are 2 files that are required called Bootloaders. Think of these as the AT&T screen and then the Samsung screen in a stock Captivate. If you do anything that changes/replaces these, you stand a great chance of bricking your phone. You don't do this when you root, only when you do something like try a custom ROM.

When you root your phone, you won't really notice anything different at first. However, if you look at your apps you will see a new one called Superuser. It is the app that is needed to run "rooted" apps. Also, once you root your phone, you will be able to take advantage of Amazon's market which has a free app a day.

If you decide to "unroot", it can be done rather easily, and you will lose the ability to do things like run rooted apps and Amazon apps (including any you downloaded).

I would recommend that you read as many posts about rooting as possible before you finally make the plunge. Read, read and read again. Make sure you know what you are doing before you do it and the risk of damage is minimal. I have bricked my phone many times, including the power button not working and was lucky to get it back. I learned the hard way by not knowing to read, read and read again.

Good luck!!:)
[General Questions and Answers] gio22:
One other quick point. If you decide to play with custom ROMs, I recommend you stick with the ones that run Froyo, not Gingerbread. The Gingerbread ROMs are just starting to come out and I believe are not for someone just starting out. The instructions are a bit more complicated and the chance of bricking your phone are much greater.

The Froyo ROMs are much easier to install. However, as said in my last post, I'd get used to rooting your stock phone first before going that way.
[General Questions and Answers] gamestorm:
stick with froyo and play with custom roms. To install custom roms just flash the custom rom in the recovery mode. :)
[General Questions and Answers] l4g4rt0:
You're right guys. I mean, changing the bootloader is the risky part of the process, not the rooting itself. But the risky part is flashing a ROM (if that's needed to root the phone)...

In my case I had to downgrade my phone (LG P500) before applying root, so it was risky from the start - anyway, depending on the phone model, rooting / installling bootloader can be more or less risky...

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
I usually let my fascinate plugged in whenever I'm in my house. I keep my laptop battery away from being overcharged, but should I be aware of overcharging my phone too?

I know it discharges when it reaches a full charge, but it's still charging since it does receive current right? I don't want to shorten the battery capacity due to overcharging..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
Your battery will stop accepting the charge when it reaches 100%, then trickle drain down to about 95%, then accept charge until back at 100%, then trickle down again and continue this cycle until you unplug. Everything I read about the Li ion batteries said even though there is this function built into the battery to prevent overcharging, you should not leave the phone on a charger for an extended period of time once it has been charged fully.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coltronathon:
on the other hand... how long does it take to significantly shorten your battery life doing that?

$15 for a new OEM battery? If it gives you peace of mind, I'd just charge it whenever it's convenient.

Are you sure you can brick your device with that?

I don't think so. Because on the Desire HD, the phone makes its own backup of the radio. So if you flash a corrupt radio, the device automatically restores the working one.

That means that you can't brick your phone by flashing a radio.
