[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Yes, totally true.

My sensation is getting extremly hott... yesterday y played Fast 5 for aleast 1 hour, and i put back her case, and touched the MicroSD metal... AUCH, its BURNING!!! arround 60cº!!!!!!!!! like my PC with Overclock at 4.2Ghz...
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
For me the phone only gets really hot when I'm doing like three battery hogging things at once like talking on the phone while playing home run battle 3d and charging the phone... when I'm on the phone and playing home run battle and charging the phone the phone is still losing a charge because those other two things I have going on are big hogs after about thirty minutes or so its starts getting hot.another way it gets hot is if I'm playing home run battle and then I stop and just leave it idle the phone heats up pretty hot. I've came back from leaving the phone sitting there for twenty minutes or so and the phone was definitely hot..so I guess don't run too many apps simultaneously that consume battery...
[HTC Sensation] Dandandroid:
besides the hardware dangers, heat means lost energy, and it heats a lot.

so probably if/after it will be fixed we can expect better battery performance ..

so i'll open a case to HTC and see whats up with that..
[HTC Sensation] fryrice8850:
is this happening to all htc sensations? (euro and US tmobile 4G) i have a US tmobile branded sensation 4g and yes the phone heats up like crazy. just from simple tasks like sending txt, phone calls, and checking emails
[HTC Sensation] taqri85:
That will infact be great.
[HTC Sensation] vickytom:
There are two holes in the rear of the phone, towards the bottom; below the 'HTC Sense' writing. I've looked on my son's DHD and he doesn't have these.

I had to use my phone as a modem on holiday this week and also, as a sat nav and the temperature rose to 44 degs.

I take the case off now, in case the holes are there as vents for some kind of cooling mechanism.

Incidentally, if the holes aren't vents and anyone knows what they're really for, I'd be really grateful! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] x-mann:
I think, some software for disabling 1 core, and activating second when you really needs, will do the solution ( heating problem) becouse its useless to use 2 cores for simple apps what you dont need 2 cores working .
[HTC Sensation] animaleyes76:
Put your sensation on camcorder and record in 1080p for 40 mins and feel how hot it is!! MENTAL :o)
[HTC Sensation] frostmore:
I also have the heat issue.

Going like over 42 degrees celcius for simple task like surfing the net or listening to music.

Phone getting hot is normal but going over 40 is madness.even my inspire 4g,when doing things like playing games,listening to music or surfing the net does not go over 40 at all.

I think the issue is with the clockspeed as well as actively disabling the the 2nd core until its needed.

If we can spread the load between 2 cores and a lower clock speed,it should reduce the stress on one core thus reducing the heat.but that could also mean more heat since we are using 2 core at the same time,both of which are generating heat.

the thing is,there aren't many kernels and roms out there that actively use 2 cores at an UC'ed speed.If anyone ccould test this out,probably we can pin point the issue and solve this heat issue once and for all.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
The only time mine goes above 40c surfing the net is when I'm in a very poor signal area (0-1 signal bars) and I'm trying to load web pages and its taking ages to load them due to virtually no signal. after a while mine gets up to around 45c. Normally though surfing with a decent 3G signal I dont see above 38c.

Since changing to the Anker battery mine feels a lot cooler in situations that were making it hot with the stock battery. Now when surfing with a very weak signal it feels about as hot as the stock battery did at 38c but certainly nothing like 45c felt to the touch. Note: the Anker battery doesnt report the correct temp so can only estimate from touch.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
My sensation heats up really quick especially when playing games. For example 30 min of fruit ninja and the phone temperature rises from 32 degrees to 44-45 and can continue more and more.

I have it for less than two weeks and don't have any warranty because i bought the phone from other country.

Anyone know if the temperatures are normal and safe or my phone is faulty ?

I just have to say that the bottom of the phone is hot but not something that can be disturbing to my fingers.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
I would say anything above 50c (whilst off charger) is faulty unless your in a place with ridiculously high ambient room temperature.

45c is quite common with the stock HTC battery during heavy use though, I saw 46c max on mine before changing over to an Anker battery.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
Wait. Did changing the battery help you solve this over heating issue ?

By changing battery i mean not htc stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Since changing to the Anker battery my phone feels cooler to the touch yes. Only problem is theres no way to know the exact temperature now because the temp never changes on the battery monitor when using 3rd party batteries.

What I can tell you is the back of the phone never feels any hotter now than when the stock battery reported roughly 37/38c. The Anker battery also lasts roughly 20% longer for me aswell. Not bad for £9.99 off Amazon.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] frostmore:
actually,heat from the phone is expected,its just that to have the phone over 35 degrees that bugging the **** out of me.

My inspire never gave me such an issue.and i have put my inspire through hours of heavy game play while listening to music and having wifi on.the temp never made past 30.with the sensation,simple task like surfing the net is going over 40++???

which brings me to conclude it has someting to do with the kernel and clockspeed of the processor,as well as the load.

whatever it is,dual core phones getting hot in the region of 40 degrees is unacceptable.a normal sane person would think his phone will die out sooner than the warrenty period!

either htc comes up with a solution to this heat issue or very soon,they are going to have ppl asking if their next phone has the same heat issue as the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] nvmextc:
Using google navigation for about 90 minutes today, nearly drained my battery completely and phone was too hot to touch, got up to 50C at one point.

It normally does get up to 45 with moderate usage as well.
[HTC Sensation] cozmic1988:
The Anker battery does seem to make the phone run a lot cooler.
[HTC Sensation] DazzXP:
Mine can go to 50C when playing games and charging never had it as a problem.
[HTC Sensation] droidgirl74:
maybe not quite the same, but previous to my Sensation I had a slightly overclocked Nokia N900. In its hottest days it had around 48C while surfing and at the same time listening to music, so I don't see 43C that dramatic (yet)... the N900 is still alive and well, btw :D
[HTC Sensation] lazers378:
For me the issue of screen was never there, it only appeared yesterday (its been more than a month since i bought my sensation). Yesterday i was playing a game and the battery was at 8 % so i plugged the charger and kept playing for another 15 minutes. When i exited the game and then after 5 minutes i checked i found that screen's bottom portion was heated up and not working properly. Launching other applications and doing weird stuff. I checked the temperature and it was at 40, i let it cool down and when temperature reached 37, the screen has become less hot and it started working properly and is fine since then.

The only thing that i m worried abt is if that heating might have caused some permanent damage to screen.
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
I have the same issue. I have recently bought gameloft game asphalt 6 and I start playing it before my temperature was 33 c. But after 1 hour the bottom of the screen got too hot so I had to turn the game off and when I checked the temperature was 48 c. It was burning up mad and think this problem will happen to every HTC on the planet even my hd2 used to get this hot when I used to play asphalt 5 and the Max temp it went up to was 50 c.
[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
Even I had this issue I was playing asphalt 6 and my Bluetooth wifi and GPS was on screen Brightness was full and after a while it give me error saying battery low please change it to AC mode and I checked the charger it was on but rather than battery going up it was losing it crazy the was
[HTC Sensation] frostmore:
can anyone confirm that once switching to anker battery from stock,the tempreature issue is gone?

also,htc evo 3d battery can be used on the sensation,it will be nice if some one can confirm the heat issue on that as well.

seems like once switching to higher cap batteries,the heat issue is slightly gone.
[HTC Sensation] cozmic1988:
Heat issue was reduced, but not eliminated with my Anker battery
[HTC Sensation] Speedy72:
Never seen temps above 43 degrees celsius in my sensation. In rest it's about 37. After angry birds it's about 41 to 43 i think depending on the intensity of gameplay
[HTC Sensation] junglejunkie:
Mine got to 51-52C today while gaming, just ordered an Anker battery for $12.99 I will see if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] walo1:
No solutions so far?

Hi guys,

I'm having this issue since I bought this mobile in France 2 months ago; I was thinking it was due to Kernel so I changed it but it didn't help it only got worse (Random rebooting probably due to the overheat) and after I installed a few ROMs and I'm on ARHD 3.6.0 & reduced the frequency of the CPU, it's still get hot but not as before & the reboot has stopped.

It would be appreciable if someone can help us with this "old" issue.

Thanks

Hi guys,

There is a similar thread about this issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259247

I've tried Anker batteries and it did not make a difference (tested it for over a week) and I have the overheating problem at the bottom of the phone (not the battery) even when in stock ROM or even in the bootloader!

I returned my phone for repair and received it back this Saturday after a 1 month wait (!). Still not working. Will return again.

P.S.: Anker battery temperature display does NOT work. This is well documented on this forum.
[HTC Sensation] marcopolo:
My Sensation XE starts heating up right after I plug the battery in... Even before I turn it on.

I am wondering if this issue is related to the Bad Battery or the phone. I have requested for a replacement battery which should come in 20 days.

The worst part is, my phone do not survive even 4 hours with very minimal usages (mostly screen off and sometime calls).

It depends, are you unlocked? Plus, search the Market for HTC Connect Setup. You need USB Enabler found here on XDA so you can see your WP7 in Windows Explorer & TouchXplorer to move the file from \My Documents/Zune/Content/(One of the sub directories) & rename it back to CustClear.provxml as copying via USB Mode renames the file to #.z (Hint match file sizes).

Have you actually tested this yourself on mango?

Im a little hesitant because the OP now says that it bricks your phone...

Edit: Tried your way (I'm an impatient sod) and it worked, Didnt brick my phone. I'm on mango btw :)

And that dehydration hack is AWESOME on mango!

Combined with the multi-tasking it ROCKS!!!!!! :DDDDDD
[HTC Inspire 4G] jojojohnson7410:
Dear community,

I sincerely apologize. I seriously did not think that would've happened. Honestly it was my first time and I thought it would work, as I had performed the update on my friend's Inspire 4G and it worked [Honeysense HD]. I didn't doublecheck the script in there, and that was my error. I really am sorry.

I am currently trying to redo it and this time, I will gather a bunch of my friends in order to test it out on several devices and several different roms. If it works again, I'll post it with caution in case anyone else seems to be having problems (when I first flashed CM7's fix, it sent the phone into a bootloop and stopped the phone from working).

Once again, I apologize for such a noob mistake. I honestly thought it would work and I will never, ever let that happen again. I'm only trying to learn more about the android system, and I wanted to help out, even though I didn't have a Inspire.

If anyone's phone was damaged, please PM me. >.<
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I didn't flash your fix, but thanks for the apology.

Just so you know, you don't need to go to the trouble of testing it and posting it again. This fix isn't needed. All of the ROMs in the Inspire section either come with the fix already in place, or they've got a fix that is flashed separately, that has already been tested by the dev of that ROM. For a "universal" tinny fix, there is already a thread for this. So any additional tinny fixes are simply not needed.

ROMs are the Read Only Memory, or the system, of the phone. with root, you can change it. devs here have made some insane roms. may i reccomend synergy? sense 2.1/3.0 gingerbread combo. just make sure to wipe data and partition sdcard first.

kernels are the bond between hardware and software. there are currently none for sense gingerbread roms becasue htc hasn't released the source yet. froyo and aosp are wide open tho.

radios are, well, the software for the radios.

You can pretty much flash whatever you want. I would go through a few different ROM's to see which you like the most. Some people love the plain and fast speeds of Cyanogen, others love HTC Sense. It's all preference.

Be sure everything you flash is compatible with the other though. Kernels especially. You'll find yourself really lost if you try to flash the wrong kernel and send your phone into boot loops for 30 minutes. :)

Okay, so if I have root I won't lose root if I flash one of the gingerbread roms. Got it. I think I want speed and responsiveness (this phone stock is blazing fast compared to my intercept). This is the first phone I've had with sense and I really like it. I think I'll look for a rom with sense. I do have access to 4g and don't want to lose that capability so I need to stick with sense 1.0 to avoid any problems right.
