Is the phone really too hot for you guys to hold? mine got hot today when i was doing a bunch of downloading. its getting cold where i live so heating up might be a good thing to keep my hands warm. just as a comparison. does anyone ride a Harley or any other bike? now those things get so hot then when you are riding your nuts are roasting when you come to a stop. at a traffic light or at a standstill i have to stand up off my bike to keep from burning my ass off. now unless your phone is too hot to hold or warms your nuts when in your pocket i wouldn't worry or complain that much.

The aluminum of the unibody is actually being used as an additional heat sink for the processor. Heat dissipated into the aluminum, is heat not affecting the CPU. I have felt mine get warm. But too hot to touch? Not even close.

In my opinion, those claims fall into two camps -- hyperbole or defective device.

These dual core processors generate A LOT of heat. Personally, I find comfort in the fact that the aluminum heats up, because I know it being dawn away from the the CPU. Also, since the SGS2 does not have any metal on the outside of the phone, and the phone is so slim, how is the heat being dissipated? How will it hold up in a hot environment? My Vibrant used to heat up as well, mostly during charging, but sometimes under heavy use.

With the performance being packed into these super slim cases, there is going to have to be some recalibrating of the things that people previously thought were defects.

If my dual core phone is under a heavy processing load, and I don't feel it get warm, I start to worry. Where is the heat going?

htc amaze is getting hot ,sensation also after 15 min playing game on sensation temp

htc after 15 min og playing game temprature was 120 deg,htc amaze also even thru rubber case.sg2 not , ipad not after 3 hours. i thing htc got problem with cooling. i returned sensation and got samsung g2 from t mobil.Very nice phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] McQueefus:
The amaze doesn't seem to get any warmer than my vibrant. It does get a litte warm but not even close to being hot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
All the Android phones I have/had have gotten hot in the conditions stated so far in this thread, I don't think it's a big deal unless it causes damage to the user or an object.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fimanmd:
Yeah, ive had no problems, maybe once or twice it gets hot but nothing too bad. I really have had no problems with my phone, did the temp-perm root method yest, worked perfect, deleted bloatware and have had no problems. Im pretty darn happy with this phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] prinxesita:
This happens to me. After 15 mins the phone reaches 111F. I reached out to T-Mobile and they are sending me a replacement battery free. I called HTC they offered a replacement battery free. Only thing that helps when it overheats is to take out battery for a moment and restart the phone.

Overheating this high seems to be a common thing among HTC phones

120 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? Bc 120 degrees Celsius your phone would melt on its own. at 111F my phone's heat hurts my fingers and burns my face. I"m very disappointed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
the overheating issue is terrible on this phone , even with a case on .
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
Seems like a bit of an exaggeration, people live in places where it gets that hot and you don't see them running inside with burning faces and fingers. Uncomfortable, I'd say it is.
[HTC Amaze 4G] verkion:
Well according to system tuner, my CPUs regularly sit at about 50C. I wonder if the temperature sensor is accurate. Hot water from taps is about 50 to 55 so...I'd say the CPUs are getting quite toasty. That said, it is NOT unusual for modern CPUs to be running at those temperatures. Still, makes me want to take apart my phone and maybe apply some better thermal compound to help conduct heat away better.

Thanks

For some reason i had my amaze under the pillow and talked via bt for good 45 min. After i hung up and located the phone it was extremely hot (it was also plugged into the charger).

When i talk having my phone on the desk or on belt pouch it doesnt even get warm. i guess no pillows for the amaze :-)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
That is true i have noticed the same
[HTC Amaze 4G] PGMMA:
I had heat problems, but only with the case on. I came up with this solution which seemed to fix the problem. See this thread:

You guys should take a look at the atrix or other motorolas. when i had my atrix this was normal. its a dualcore phone with no fan wraped around plastic.. its going to get hot. thee atrix got so hot i got scared it would explode lol, and that was with the screen off charging so it got even hotter when i played games.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rilbel:
That is way too much...

Phone's components are absolutely fine all the way to 113 F, which is 45 C... After that they MAY start to get damaged in the long run, but so far, I have yet to see my Amaze surpass the 110 threshold as the max temp after a while of Angry Birds and what not, while charging, was 107... So don't worry too much.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GGWC808:
Where do you go to see your core temperature on your phone? My phone gets hot enough to discolor my phone case. I don't know if it's because the case is cheap. It's supposed to be a TPU case (I bought it off ebay). I play hanging with friends quite a lot on my phone and the display is on for quite a bit of time. I can feel my phone get really warm in my hands and when I turn off the screen and put the phone in my pocket, the warmth from the phone can get quite uncomfortable. Just wondering if I should be concerned?
[HTC Amaze 4G] GGWC808:
Ok, so I found out widgetsoid has a temperate display. The hottest I've seen my phone get is 43 C. Is that too hot? Rilbel says that the max is 45 C before my components start suffering damage, is that true.?
[HTC Amaze 4G] h82w8v6:
cooked batt.

Just yesterday my amaze reached a temp. Of 136.5f at this time the battery was around 8% power and I shut down. Later when I goto power up, I get only recovery (cwm) with no back light. Will not boot. I test the battery and get a power reading of 3127mv = fried battery. Will not take a charge..... So I get a new batt. And all is well. Point to the story is get a batt. Widget with temp. Sensor reading and keep an eye on it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] astromanic:
yea, i seem to have probs with my amaze overheating as well.

At times it gets up to 58 C (136F) Do you think i should try to send in for a warranty replacement?

I have two oem batteries and it seems to overheat with either one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GGWC808:
Yeah, i think you should. I emailed HTC about the amaze phone temperature and they said that spec is up to 50° C.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
It's the type of ROM your on when I was on AOSP ICS it never gave me the overheating problem now that I'm back on Sense it feels like its about to explod
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lyian:
This long thread of overheating issues is forcing me to rethink getting this phone, even tho design wise its what i want :(

Are there any better suggestions, or is the overheating issue really blown out of per portion?
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I think its blown out of proportion. The only time I've ever had my amaze get hot was when I was really using it for everything, playing a game, music at the same time etc. but the most I got it up to was in the 30's, 38 deg I think. Any other time, its in the 20's with moderate use, and in standby under 20.

Its all dependant on what you're running, wether you know about it or not. I've installed apps before that weren't compatible with my phone and they would suck the battery dry, and heat it up at the same time without me knowing, so knowing what is going on with your phone and what its doing is important.

If your phone gets hot, whatever it is, check to see what's using up the battery, you might have an app that's draining it. And of course, this can happen to any phone, not just the amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GGWC808:
I think it's a hit or miss on this phone. I hear lot of people say their phone stays cool and a lot of people like me have their phones get hot. I personally have had my phone reach 48°C when I'm on the phone and playing Little Empire. It's so hot that it hurts my face if i put it up against my skin and has discolored 2 of my cell phone cases. HTC and T-mobile say it's normal.

And my phone is completely stock if you're wondering.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I am on mine right now, while charging and it isn't even warm to the touch, yet randomly it will get warm. I never had it got hot, that you couldn't touch it.

I 2nd the hyberbole comment....that or defective device.

Not even fair comparing a plastic phone to a metal unibody phone....
[HTC Amaze 4G] beardedricky:
Mine hasn't ever overheated but every once in a while I'll stream a starcraft tournament at work while the phones plugged in, that will make it pretty toasty but that's to be expected with a dual core imho
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
glad to hear that I'm not the only one concerned about how hot my amaze is getting. I used to get conerned that the processor was getting a lil toasty, but as long as my battery stays cool I don't mind the heat

35 ~ 45 C for a battery is ok right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] the show stopper:
random reboot is because of sim card. if u get the wifi calling enabled sim card ur phone will stop rebooting randomly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Mine gets pretty toasty when I'm playing games, or using Google maps with gps. But it normally is towards the top of the phone.

I'll have to check how hot it really is getting next time.

But, mobile components are built to take a lot more heat than say a desktop pc with a fan/ water cooling. My laptop gets into the 105s celcius sometimes. Darn Toshiba and their terrible cooling.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Mine only gets warm when I use wireless tethering for my bro's galaxy because he has no data plan. It runs fine for other cases
[HTC Amaze 4G] dementor123:
Same here. Its only when I am using GPS or playing games. And its only the screen that gets hot. Temperature of the back of the phone is ok.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lyian:
Well that doesn't sound abnormal really. My Touch Pro 2 will get hot in those instances as well, and if most of these "overheating" issues are due to intensive app use then i don't see how the phone is to blame as im sure nearly every phone would react similar.

Games use alot of graphic/cpu power, and GPS keeps the phone from going to sleep (may also be somewhat processor active.)

Camera No Longer Working

I think the overheating has finally gotten the best of my amaze. It normally tends to get very hot when i have it on the car charger and have the navigation app running. I know its overheated because the charging light flashes the ember color unitil it cools off. My HD2 use to do this all the time.

When its overheating the front glass is hot and the back near the camera lens is extremely hot. Now my camera will not work. Whenever i load the camera app it loads and then freezes at a black screen with the status bar faded in. The phone is unresponsive until a battery pull or until the phone resets itself. If i press back or home nothing happens while its freezes but the phone does vibrate like crazy when they are pressed sometimes.

Any idea what this could be? I've reinstalled the ics leak and wiped quite a few times with no results and was unable to go back to stock gb ruu in the bootloader. I sure do hope that this is not a hardware issue but looking at the timing of the camera acting up and the overheating, highly doubt it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] n_babyk:
ics leak

This is the same problem I have screen overheats battery runs quickly.camera don't autofocus properly and browser lags a lot when scrolling. I need to get back to stock T-Mobile gingerbread what's the nearest to do that I'm not rooted bootloader is locked still.
[HTC Amaze 4G] howhi50:
I tried going back the same way i upgraded to ics and it didn't work. I got an error saying that the current system is newer than the one i am trying to flash and have to turn off the phone w/o flashing back GB.:confused: I guess it can't be done.
[HTC Amaze 4G] The Analog Kid:
Damn!... if I only had read this before I got my own Amaze 4g, 6 months ago... Whatever, the song remains the same: Issue comes and goes randomly; sometimes gets hot when charging off, sometimes when on, sometimes both; sometimes in use, sometimes when not; sometimes it only gets gently warm, sometimes it gets scary hot; sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Frankly this is really weird. Some say it's because of some app running in the background. No, no: I've monitored this and in my case they are apps that you're not into kill or get rid of, like Gmail or Chrome, or some other very important system app, so... not a solution there. WTF! mine has overheated so much, that the plastic surrounding the two camera led flashes had been distorted by melting point! and that is NOT normal (as HTC said)... Some say, metal case built phones, all have this tendency, but the Amaze has no metal case, it has a metal battery door, yes, but no metal case here. Oh yes, it's "amazing" how this phone gets hot. But it's also "amazing" how it happily drains it's battery and how long it takes to recharge, "amazing" it is. Tho, it would not be "amazing" if some day mine (or yours, sorry) dies on mysterious overheating causes. My own particular "diagnosis"?... Ok, this model was actually built and ultimately came to us with some electrical/electronic defective hardware design that we all have to live with, if we all love the Amaze 4g that much. And, you know?... I do.

CASE UNSOLVED? :beer:

Sorry Jack... I'll be back!

Hey everyone,

I found a few older builds of the Ubuntu font compiled for Android but I wanted to make sure I had the new hotness. This is Clockwork flashable but you could also extract the fonts from the .zip and move them to system/fonts/

This is version .80 from font.ubuntu.com. Enjoy! :)

(please report if it fails to flash for some reason.)

I just substitute the full 1.3 .zip for the CM7 and gaaps .zips when booting with the original install image and it works fine. I recommend everyone who installs CM7 to the eMMC save their original install SD card for future needs and buy a 2nd one for use with CM7. The 1.3 .zip now seems to be missing from the drop box site though so someone will need to repost it. It was linked in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690&page=29
[Nook Color General] vn33:
Thanks for a very useful thread ... even though I already have mine running on CM7 since last month, really grateful for the info regarding the Facebook FC.

I'm still very much a noob at this.

One suggestion for more info regarding an issue which many noobs like me may have: How to expand the partition to use the rest of the SD card. On my 16Gb card, it now has four partitions: Boot, 2x unallocated, and Storage. Using EASUS PartitionMaster, how do I expand the fourth partition ? Do I have to delete the two unallocated ? Any further info regarding this would be very much appreciated !!

If I use App2SD, which partition would those programs go to ? Seeing that I already booted from SD, the Apps are already on the SD, right ? No need to "move to SD" ?

Thanks ahead for the schooling !!:)
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
For your first question: just right click the 4th partition, select resize and then make sure everything is selected.

For your 2nd question: I'm not exactly sure as I do not use an SD install. Maybe someone else with more SD booting experience can help but what I am thinking is that all of your apps are on the 2nd or 3rd partition but when you use app2SD they get moved to the 4th partition.

Unfortunately you cannot use the 8 failed boot method if you replace the stock recovery which most do when installing CM. That is why I used the method I did with this guide. It works no matter what is on your internal memory.

I'm probably slow but your provided link is for rooting the 1.2/1.3 NC using ManualNooter. It has nothing to do with reverse back to stock ROM.

And, the complete wipe near the bottom of the first post, again, has nothing to do with reversing if currently running custom ROM on eMMC.

Thank you for taking the time to put it together. It has really helped me understand what was needed to get my NC up and running.
[Nook Color General] zhourj:
This is a really helpful guide for beginner.

I want to ask some thing about the whole workflow. I've used other Android phones to play with rooting and flashing new roms, but NC is quite new to me. So still need to make sure about something.

In this guide, there is nothing about rooting. And when I use CM7 from a SD card, I don't have to do that and already got the su in terminal. So I suppose if I just flash CM onto the eMMC, I'll get root access anyway. I don't have to root it right now in its stock system, right?
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
-Updated the Restoring to stock guide to use a 1.3 and the newest clockwork it's on Android Central for now but I might move it over here if I get some time.

Nope, no need to root if you are going to flash CM7 because of the ability to boot a custom recovery from an SD card.

May I offer as a suggestion to try the script mentioned in this rather long XDA thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

The script changes the settings used by the underlying Android memory manager. I found it quite useful under 2.2 and just as helpful under honeycomb. I most like that it makes the launcher "hard to kill" which is great. I hardly ever leave an app and go back to the launcher to just sit and watch as it reloads. You have no idea how much better that makes it feel when I'm using my streak.

Thanks to whomever suggested trying this script in a previous thread here.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
And will drastically change the behavior of your device.. And this has nothing to do with his problem, he's talking about some weird lag that happens after he boots, not a problem this script would "help".

I tried this script on my Nexus One, as I tend to do a lot of stuff at once, and it did nothing but annoy me. I never have launcher kill problems, so perhaps it's just not for me.. but I found that apps I could normally run simultaneously would be killed when I went back to them.

Example, running Car Home, Waze, and Gas Buddy on my trek to work. On top of the normal stuff running.. Normally Gas Buddy will be left in the background and I can bring it right back up, but after several different settings in this script it was always killed. Not to say this isn't a good thing for some people but it works better for me without it.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
You don't have to root, it comes prerooted...

All you have to do is flash the Clockwork Mod recovery for Honeycomb which is 4.0.1.9 if I remember correctly (it has it's own thread) and then download the R6 HoneyStreak (R7 is buggy on mine that is why I suggest R6) and you flash it from Clockwork mod...

And the script is junk, it has been stated in several threads that the most it does is help the Launcher to an extent, the memory from the custom ROMs on the Streak 7 and Streak 5 conflicts completely with the script, all you get is a placebo affect once installed

[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
You can't skip the mbmloader, it is for all intents and purposes where the lock on the bootloader is stored and checked and the reason why you can't flash it it because it is impossible to revert it once it has been incremented to a new version with the new encrypted signature.

This is done specifically to prevent flashing back to any previous version once you have run any OTA update.zip that contains an mbmloader newer than the one on your device.
