[HTC Rezound] jeffe65:
Today in Phoenix it's ~112°F. I had just bought a car mount and drove home using DailyRoads Voyager video recorder with the car charger plugged in. Battery temp reached 135°F according to CurveFish battery widget.

Inside of a car at that ambient temp can reach 160-180°F sitting in a parking lot. I placed a meat thermometer on an asphalt surface one summer, and it reached 161°F, so the phone actually stayed cooler than I might have expected. But that's an extreme environment to place it in, so I'll need to find a different way to mount the phone during the summer to keep it out of direct sunlight.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Highest mine has hit was 117F

4G streaming Youtube.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
geeze my highest was 115 F and that was watching vids. idk where you guys use your phone......
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
hotest my ever got was 114 F playing GTA 3 for like 45 mins
[HTC Rezound] patrickgerry:
mine went up to 110 when I left the camera on in my pocket.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
102 while charging screen on and 4g tethered
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I've probably only hit like 100°. Maybe.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
113°F, just browsing XDA, not charging or anything lol.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Left phone in car a few weeks back... Found it turned off. When I booted it, I have my temp on on my status bar, it read 152... Then shut down
[HTC Rezound] x70xchallengerx:
The highest I've ever got my phone to is about 114 degrees Fahrenheit, listening to music outside on a hot summers day :P.

However my Asus G51Jx (gaming laptop) 's GPU ( Nvidia GeForce 360M) has seen 100 Celsius! Believe it or not, that's normal/stable temps for gaming on this thing... I've never bluescreened it, besides incompatibility with certain sound drivers :P
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
152F here also, in the dead of winter on first Rezzy; over 140F a handful of other times. It was a Baconator.

Replacement phone has seen 131F pushed hard on weak signal at my home. Doesn't climb over the 120F warning mark hardly ever though, unlike like first phone.

Upset Verizon told me my battery is fine when I was shipped a CLN handset; they made me keep the battery. Puffed up, missing paint now and probably not near max capacity at all.
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
what?!

mine will idle sometimes at 50-55 even if i've closed everything!

---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

my phone got to 135F while browsing gizmodo on the couch for about 45 min, w/ the screen at lowest setting. then it decided to reboot. awesometime.
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
wtf 152 degrees

wow. 152 degrees. and I wasn't even using it at the time!

Phone info:

rezound (completely stock since I got it, unrooted, locked, etc)

rev. XA

3.7 Standard Battery

screen brightness at lowest setting

Screen timeout : 1 Minute

plugged in to oem wall charger for about an hour prev to me seeing the temp.

High Performance Power Profile

Wifi On

Enable Mobile Network Always On

Mobile Network set to CDMA + LTE Auto (connected to CDMA network tho)

Background Data + Auto Sync On

Tasks running: Advanced Task Manager + Temp Monitor

Volume: Silent/Vibrate

what happened-

for the first time in a few months, this morning, about 10 am, i decided to select the "High Performance" power profile on the rezound. However, rather than play with it for a bit like I was planning, something came up, so I set it on the charger and left it.

(normally keep it on "Normal" and at night set it to "economy")

I was doing some stuff around the house and then heard the phone ringing so walked back into the living room, picked it up, and immediately dropped it on the couch because it was so hot.

I picked it up again and unlocked it, clicked on TempMonitor and it was 152 degrees. WTF. I've got it to keep the Celsius temp in the status bar, but couldn't remember what the equivalent of 60 was for a sec.

I held it in front of the AC vent in my house for about 1-2 minutes.

Then I noticed that I had gotten a few calls, emails, and apparently a notification from facebook that I rec'd a msg there as well (thought I had notifications from FB turned off, guess not)

I also rec'd two texts and a voicemail.

Then I remembered to take a screenshot. (see attached pic)

Selected Power off, and once it was off pulled the battery and held both in front of the AC vent for a few minutes.

I think it's finally time to call VZW and ask for a replacement.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it considered Overheating when the cpu hits 120 F? or is that for the battery?

Should I look for any visible damage? Could there be any damage I can't see/get to?

Could the heat possibly damage the internal memory or sd card?

the only 2 progams I always have running:

Advanced task manager

link to the google play store page for the app (no association with the dev or anything, if this link isn't allowed just let me know)

and

TempMonitor

link to the google play store page for the app (no association with the dev or anything, if this link isn't allowed just let me know)

I use tempmonitor to monitor the temp obviously, but the advanced task manager, I use for the "regular kill" feature and every 1 minute, it kills all tasks except itself and tempmonitor (had to get it since VZW location manager and a few other stock programs like FBChat and Mobile Instant Messaging Service and a few others keep turning themselves on over and over)

107 playing dead space and shadow gun on 4G for about an hour a piece back to back
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
wtf? what hardware revision do you have?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Idk? What's a hardware revision?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
under the battery there is a part number sku, the last couple of letters is the revision, XA, XB, etc.
[HTC Rezound] tantran:
139 yesterday I called Verizon and they are sending out a replacement. Also I have the customer service person personal email address so that I can inform them if the phone overheats again.
[HTC Rezound] dabombcra:
The hottest I have gotten is the 137°. I'm on my third Rezound and so far it seems to be good. Only have had it for a couple of days. By the end of the week I should know.

Sent from me Rezound
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
K I just looked and its XE,

Do they go in order from A to whatever based on build dates, and "fixes" or something?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
interesting, I know it was XA then XB, might be time for a trade in.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Do you think they went in order from A to E? Wouldn't that mean there are a bunch of variations? I wish I could remember what my first one was...

Is the life timer measured in hours or days? Also manufacture date was 10/21/2011
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
110F playing tower defense plus charging at the same time

just playing tower defense I think just 103F. I'm just using wifi tether temp monitor
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Just surfing the web, Facebook and texting for 40 mins - 109.5F and it dropped from 49% to 24% battery.

This with a -85dBm signal strength.

And this is my fourth Rezound now. Each replacement has been version "A". I'm almost ready to give up but I might call one more time.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
What you do is check the version when they send it to you and if its the same thing you have now or the same one that gives you problems send it back and tell them to send you another one. Make them work lol
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Yeah, I know I should keep at it, but it's just frustrating. How is it possible I get four overheating Rezounds in a row?!
[HTC Rezound] kenny032896:
the hottest ive seen on mine was 112 deg. f. and that was playing six gun. my hardware rev. is XA.
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
finally had a minute to call vzw customer service, took about 10 minutes total, and they are sending another phone out. so hopefully no more 152 degree temps!
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Call me stupid but how do I check my hardware rev
[HTC Rezound] seeker160:
Mine hit 65 degrees Celsius or 149 degrees Fahrenheit earlier today. I was working on my car earlier and it was 90 or so out (Fahrenheit) and I had my phone sitting inside my car charging and Pandora playing. I'm pretty sure the radio's shut down cause the reason I noticed was that Pandora had stopped. So I took it inside abd threw it in the freezer for like five minutes. When I went back outside later I set it onto of a freezer pack.

Also once the temperature gets pretty high it doesn't like coming down by itself so I would turn it off or move it to some where cold if you can
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
It's under your battey at the bottom of the grey sticker
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Thanks I'm xa too
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
got my replacement rezound today, just put my sim in, so we'll see how it goes.

odd thing is, the part number has no revision, my one i'm going to return is an XA, this one however doesn't list a revision....any ideas why?
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
The second of four Rezounds I've had (Verizon keeps sending replacement phones for the heat issue) didn't have a version letter next to the part number. No one can seem to find any correlation between which 'versions' are hot and which are not. It might not be a revision at all. Could just be an indicator of which assembly line made the phone, for example.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
I have revision XE, and I don't have heat issues unless I'm using it hard in the sun on a hot day.

Sent from my evolving Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
so the rezound I got yesterday, that has no Rev. after the part number, seems to be doing extremely well.

I've had 4g on the entire time since I turned it on,

AND I STILL HAVE BATTERY LIFE.

granted its down to less than 10%, but I've had the screen on max brightness since yesterday, watching lots of videos and web browsing.

i even set it to play a 25 minute video (720P, ~500mb filesize) then a few music videos after that and it never broke 105 degrees, normally if I let the entire 25 minute video play at max brightness, it'd be over 130 or 140

so far, so good!
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Interesting. Because the one I had that had no version letter was one of the hottest ones I've had. There really doesn't seem to be a correlation between that version and heat.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
U r the only other person ive seen with XE, I have it too and it NEVER gets hot, or warm either really.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
I got an XA and an XE. Xa is mine and xe the wifes. I have never had her complain about heat. And trust me she complains about the smallest things. Like why she can't pinch to zoom on facebook mobile page on chrome beta. Lol... Any way. I have had a first production run rezound in October, yes it was a dev model. Revizon was 0. I didn't have that one very long but the first time I ran both cores up to 1500, I produced some heat. Not horribly hot but more so then normal. My XA gets warm under those same conditions though. I haven't overclocked or static clocked the wife's yet so I don't know how that one would handle it. And also the only other time I get heat on the XA is after/during an extended amout of tethering wile charging. I have never noticed it get hot wile just charging or just tethering.
[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
I was able to get mine to 131, after playing a game for almost 2 hours straight while waiting on my wife lol.
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
Well, mine got to 123 last night during a 15minute call to my Mom. Went from a fresh charge to 87% in that 15 minutes, too. And this afternoon while calling Verizon to see about getting a replacement, during a 10 minute call it got to 118, and combined with another 10 minutes of browsing, so 20 minutes of use all total, it went from 69% to 25%. This is definitely not normal.

The Verizon rep said I'd have to take it in to a store.

Mine doesn't have XA or XB after the part number, it has ******001-00 B. So I'm not sure if that's a REV or not.

Also, I have a 3.8V battery it came with, and 2 3.7V "OEM" batteries I swap out (Keep one in my purse, one in the charger, and one in the phone) and all of them do the overheating thing. I put "OEM" in quotes because I got them off eBay, and while they look right, the paper doesn't wrap around the bottom like the one that came with the phone. That could be a difference between 3.8 and 3.7, or they could be knockoffs.

Hope we all get some ReZolution soon, HTC is my favorite (DInc, TB, now ReZ, and an HTC Evo View Tablet, too!) and I keep telling my husband he needs to get one. He's got a Bionic that has been having problems with the 3g/4g handoff.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
To be clear Danariel, that is exactly the same P/N I have, that "B" off to the right end is the design revision you have. Nobody has been posting the whole part number info string, but assumedly they are commonly identified by the letters at the end. P/Ns are not unique numbers that need to be protected like serial #s or IMEIs; they are for manufacturer reference for stuff like servicing. Not asking people to post their full ones, just saying. :) So far I've seen XA, B, XE, and possibly no letter revisions in this thread.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_number
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
(edit: sorry for two posts.)

This is actually a good point. The letters could simply be analogous to a specific mint of a coin. The rest of the P/N is where any consistency in this hypothesis can be found. Is there even more than one plant pushing out this phone?

And also have to consider that newer part revisions are not necessarily better in quality for temperature management, possibly just cheaper and simpler to manufacture.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Just youtubed for 45 minutes. Then watched a Lara Fabian Moscow concert for 1 hr 31 minutes, temp was at 96.9... Probably because I was holding the phone with both hands the whole time. XE revision.

Edit: phone was also being charged the entire time...
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
Went to Verizon today and spoke to the guy who sold me the Rezound, told him I had 3 batteries and it does it on all 3, they are next daying me a replacement. Went ahead and got an ext battery for 50% off, too, and temp is currently 118. So NOT the battery.

Edit:

I agree, the P/N isn't the S/N or the IMEI, so I don't see any reason why we shouldn't post the full number. Mine's 99HNU001-00 B if that could possibly help.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Keep the data coming in, guys. Sooner or later, we are going to find some correlation.

Here's an interesting point:

I decided to switch off 4G for a few days. Man, what a difference. I can browse the web almost indefinitely without it getting over 100F. Turn 4G on and it will quickly rise to 115F.

Granted, 3G isn't the answer when browsing YouTube or streaming a HD movie on Netflix, it will definitely get me by for regular day-to-day use.

Which begs the question - if this is LTE radio related, maybe we need to be careful what we wish for? The Rezound has one of the strongest LTE radios on the market. My brother's GNex seldom has a signal as good as mine. If the fix possibly means throttling back the LTE radio power, is that a solution we really want? I would rather use 3G on a daily basis and flick 4G on whenever I know I'll need to speed.

Not a long term solution, obviously, but one that works for the present. How about you guys with smoking Rezounds?
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
Mine has spent the last 10 hours at 120-121, plugged in on WiFi with the screen on for Alarm Clock mode. No 4G use here, and before I went back to stock for the warranty return, I had it set on 3G and WiFi only to conserve battery life. The phone call heat of 123 and the heat from the other day were all at my house on WiFi.

edit: And after being unplugged for less than 10 minutes, it's already back down to 98.
[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
View attachment 1148972my highest thus far... Talking on the phone watching a video on Facebook.. it jumped right up
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
Damn, didn't that hurt to touch?

I got my replacement today, I'm trying to push the temp up to see if it's a good one before I re-root. Just did some Youtube while plugged in, then phone call while plugged in, and got to 98.7. I think this one may be good to go. *fingers crossed*
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
What's your revision?
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
This one's 99HNU001 -00 XA.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
My current one is 99HNU001-00 B, same as your returned one...

My first phone that *I* returned was XA. So ah, yeah. lol My observance was B heats quicker but has a lower ceiling, XA heats slower but when pushed on gaming like Shadowgun or GTAIII, or charging it can climb higher than 120 degrees Farenheit easier.

Interesting to see how it works out.
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
Well, I don't game on the phone (PC gamer, not phone gamer, lol) so this may be alright for me. Yep, we'll see.

I've been pushing it a little, charging and surfing, charging and Youtubing, charging and talking on the phone, but so far it hasn't gotten past 102. Hoping this is a good one, because I'm about to root this bad boy. :-)

edit: HOLY FRICKEN COW! Took me HOURS night before last to get S-Off, get everything back to stock, re-locked, and S-On again. Just re-rooted and S-Off'd using hasoon's tools, and it was a breeze! Got the damn wire trick first try this time. Whew! Now to find all the ROMs that are on the 605.10 leak, and decide if I want to use one of them, or Newt's OneXxX which I already have a backup of...

edit 2: Oh, yeah, then I get to root my husband's Bionic. :-P
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I just got my Rezound that I got on the day after launch day replaced with a CLN Rezound on Tuesday and the battery gets a lot hotter than my first one (had to replace it since the data radio was acting faulty). My first one wouldn't really get that hot but this one is definitely noticeable even under normal usage, although the temps seem average/low compared to what mostly everyone else is getting. While charging it was at 112F without a case, while downloading stuff via 4G it probably gets that hot too (or hotter) I just started monitoring it now.

I had to use the same battery for both phones, it's a 3.7v Model BTR6425B Stock battery. The new phone is rev XA and I believe the old phone was also XA. I seem to have lost my extended battery so I can test and see whether it's the phone or the battery that's causing the battery to heat up. :(
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Every time I see a post in this thread its like a knife to the part of my heart that loves HTC. Their quality control has been an issue with their new phones. I wonder if that is what is causing their massive decline in sales, along with their tight security. HTC is shooting themselves in the foot. And slow updates isn't helping either.

Idk why these phones are so different on heat. Mines only gotten to 107 once. I've seen it get to 103 a couple of times since I've had it. A phone shouldn't get 110+ that's kind of crazy imo
[HTC Rezound] drt054:
120 b*tches!!!! But since SlimROM and newest leak, haven't seen over 104. Slim #ftw :D
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
112.F

And I have played N64 emulator , watched videos, lots of internet. Bought mine December 12th last year.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Hit 127F last night after three hours of WiFi Tethering and streaming Netflix while USB charging. Running Nils 5.4

This is my fourth replacement Rezound and I'm trying to decide whether this is normal operation or if I should call Verizon one last time and get them to switch me to the GNex and give up on Rezound for good.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
I'm in the exact same boat I'm on my fourth rezound running nils 5.6 Rom and I can get over 120 easy I kind of want to complain get a gnex but kind of don't want to because of all of the horror stories with the radio. I might wait like 2 weeks and try to get an incredible 4g it might work since they're selling that phone for $150 and the rezound for $200
[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
116F was the highest I have seen. It was also 97 outside that day in a car with no AC using navigation for three hours.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
got a replacement rezound due to my nand memory crapping out (that's my guess). Touch screen went unresponsive, then after trying to reset it and getting nowhere, I tried to run an RUU and got a partition error.

My replacement gets every bit as hot as the original. It hits 125 playing jelly wars and low 100s with just regular surfing over 4g.

The weird thing is that when wifi tethering on my old one, I never got over 100 while tethering, but jelly wars send it thermonuclear... Go figure.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGreg:
I know my input wont be that well taken since I own a RAZR but thought id chime in here, got 157 playing angry birds with 4g on, charging and mirroring to HDMI, fyi this was also on my old one, dropped the phone 30 min after that in the rocks out front and it shattered, the thing was too d*** hot to put in my pocket.

New one hits 120 then wont budge, friends maxx hits 125 and turns off (moto protection firmware?)
[HTC Rezound] THE-COPS:
Holy sh*t...what do you guys do to make the phone run so damned hot? How hot does yours run inside an air conditioned home? How hot with 4G off? Or did someone already ask and its halfway back somewhere? I thought my phone was hot enough hitting 112.. how the hell do you hold that thing running at 130? .....let alone 150..got damn
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
I hit 120 for the first time today. But I was on a smoke break at work and it was 102 out. :P

Sent from my Business ICS Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] evol4g:
I have you slightly beat, one time I fell asleep with my eco and it wound up under my pillow... the temp when I woke up was 149f... surprisingly the phone still works great, same battery and all
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
This an old topic I see. But still no definitive answer? Or have we settled on it being a hardware issue with no real solution? I'm on newest firmware running ota+ and am running hot multiple times a day:(
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
It's a hardware thing. Some phones are just heaters mine is cool:D
[HTC Rezound] Danariel:
I had the overheating problem, though not to the extent some of us did, and one of the older firmwares paired with Adrenaline 2.0 helped me out.

However, I'm now on the latest firmware, with the global stuff, and waiting for Adrenaline 3.0 to come out. I'm running one of the rooted stockish roms and not having heat issues.it still gets over 100 F sometimes, but not much over, and it goes back down while still screen on .
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
from what i noticed the newest kernel on running viper rez rom it doesnt seemm to really get over 120 degrees anymore for me.. just waiting for kernel source and some dev magic and im sure we can drop that temp some more. as well as some battery drain..
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
I went through four Rezounds with Verizon's warranty replacement program before they switched me to a Galaxy Nexus. Now I'm suffering from poor radio reception. Since the heat on the Rezound is linked with LTE usage, and the Rezound has phenomenal LTE performance, I've decided that you get what you pay for, in a sense.

What I mean, is that if you want a powerful LTE radio, it comes at a cost. I think I'd rather have an LTE radio that is powerful and runs hot, knowing I can turn it off and control it, than a phone with a weak LTE radio that runs cool.

That said, it may not be nearly as much to do with a variance from one phone to the next as it is from one region to the next. If some of you have phones that are running cool, it is likely because you live so near to a cell tower that the radio is running at low power.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
I feel a little dumb; app killer ended my over heating it seems. Still should never get as hot as it did but....
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i think its more along the lines of HW and SW im on my third rezound and this one has ran the coolest so far.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
When I switched from stock rooted GB to Adrenaline 2.0 ICS my phone runs about 10°C cooler.
