[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nizaamh:
Ok thanks.Im having trouble rooting etc. so thought i must do something extra. Back to the threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It's normal. All nexus devices are dev phones and come unlocked (gsm)
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
Nice, had the same idea to do one of these over the weekend - you just beat me to it :)

I've done alot of research/ testing heat wise, and the pseudo-scientific conclusion that i've come to is that in a room temperature environment something like 75-85F idle & 110-115F netflix is normal for this gen of phones (Rezound, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S II, etc) - Give or take another 5F if you're using 4G. Seems like some devices are luckier than others & stay slightly cooler, but i'd gauge that they aren't the typical use case. IMO, (along side battery) data is a huge reason we've seen some of the face melting temperatures people have been reporting.

One thing I think would really help this thread is to set an easy to follow format for posting results. For example, here's a few tests I've done:

### Phone Info ###

ROM - Stock

Kernal - Stock

CPU Speed - Default (1.5)

Battery Type - Standard

Case - Generic TPU

## Test 1 ##

Charging - No

Data - 4G (4 bars)

App - Field Runners

Test Duration - 15 min

Start battery temp - 85 F

End battery temp - 112 F

Total Battery Drain - 20%

## Test 2 ##

Charging - No

Data - 4G (4 bars)

App - YouTube

Test Duration - 20 min

Start battery temp - 85 F

End battery temp - 104 F

Total Battery Drain - 16%

## Test 3 ##

Charging - No

Data - 4G (4 bars)

App - Onlive

Test Duration - 30 min

Start battery temp - 85 F

End battery temp - 125 F

Total Battery Drain - 40%

Hope this helps, i'd really like to see people participate - this information will be helpful for pretty much everyone in the Android community with a current gen phone.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Stock rom

Extended battery

Charging - yes

App - shine runner

Duration - 20 min

Start temp - 96F

End temp - 115F

3g, 3bars

This extended battery will get just as hot as the stock, just takes a little longer.

Edit-not quite as hot as the stock, but pretty toasty.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
if it's the battery, then isn't the only parameter we need to test is current draw from the battery? no matter what radios/apps are enabled/disabled. It's bottom line is, the more we're drawing off the battery the hotter it's getting? I'd have to bring a pro in here on how Li-ion works in this form factor and why it gets hot, or what corners the battery manufacturer cut to make it possible!
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
The only time my battery gets hot is when I am in a weak signal area and the phone is searching for the 3G-4G signal. During daily use in a good signal area it never heats up. :)
[HTC Rezound] micnn:
My phone (and wife's also) heats up most notably during charging, especially when the battery is around 99% and going 100%. Usually the temp goes to ~ 45C (115F). In some rare cases, it was too hot to touch (dunno the exact temp). But some other times it would stay cool at all time.

Wife's first phone went into bootloop and her current phone is a new replacement. I kind of believe the overheating was the main cause of the bootloop problem.
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
It's more than just the battery. Also: feel free to post a test - the more data we get from everyone, the better.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
One important variable missing: ambient temp.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I was just playing words with friends for ten minutes:

Ambient temp: 67, Screen brightness: 50%,

4g: ON

wifi: OFF

my temp went to 105F, it's NEVER gone to 105F when playing before... and I play it every evening. It was hooked to the USB charger at the time, and when I felt it getting so hot, I looked at battery monitor and my net charge was negative, so it was using more than it was charging off the usb...

maybe something in some of those apps triggers something that causes the temp to rise? a loop? something?
[HTC Rezound] nev310:
I noticed any time I charge with USB and use my phone it gets hot

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Charging always causes heat. You are forcing power into a small space.

Charging via USB should only get the battery a little warm to the touch. 95* or so at most.

Charging with AC should get it a few degrees higher. I would think over 100* is odd.

as you reach 100% is when the heat should spike to the max temps I mentioned, before that it should just be warmish.

I will check mine to see how it behaves, but all my R/C batteries behave that way.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Replacing the kernel with stock lowered my temps quite a bit. I was around 110-115 degrees after 30 minutes or so. This was with LTE enabled.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Nobody else have anything?
[HTC Rezound] rezound:
noticed most of my heating issues when 4g was on (even when idling on 4g). Leaving in wifi and 3g keep the stock battery cool...on the extended I never really notice the heat, even on 4g.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
I realize that you're trying to keep things as similar as possible, but I had an issue today listening to the broncos game in the NFL app while charging. It got so hot it boot looped. After getting it back up and running I started monitoring battery temps and even with the screen off and just listening to the game, it would get extremely hot. Btw, I have 4G 4 bars. A couple of times I ran to the freezer and put the phone in it for a couple minutes to cool it down as the temps got above 117°F.

From here, I thought it might be the CPU, so I set the maximum setting to 384 in antutu and then let the phone sit there with the screen off just as before listening to the game and still charging. Same thing, phone got extremely hot, 115°F. Although, what I find strange, is I can watch Netflix while charging and even tho it gets warm, it never gets above 115°F and never goes into the boot loop issue. Same exact location, charger, ambient temps, signal, the works. So I'm wondering if an app is just poorly written and causes some sort of excessive use of the radio.

On another note, I had a rezound battery in my thunderbolt and never had any issues what so ever with heat.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
What temperatures are you people expecting to see just out of curiousity? I mean if we run 3d intensive apps, videos, extreme web browsing we're going to see high temps since we are stressing the devices. We do have to remember these are compact devices and they are limited to what type of heatsinks/cooling they can add. From the multiple posts form this thread and others like it, we can see the majority of our devices run at same temps while under load. If it hasn't already been done maybe we should contact HTC and see what they say? Just a thought.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I am trying to find the norms and what is too hot.

I am thinking 115 is normal for heavy use. But we need to be sure, if someone says they only hit 100 under similar conditions as someone that hits 120. it may be that 120 is a problem temp and that 100 is normal. It may also be that the person only hitting 100 is just lucky.

Go play an app that is heavy in 3D, lets see what temps you get. If you go much over 120 it may be an issue.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Running Gun Bros for about 20 minutes gets me up to about 105°F. Right now after the phone had been sitting for 5ish hours doing nothing its at 98°F.
[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
I think it is Ziggy's kernel I have never got 125f when tethering for 30min or playing GTA for 30 min. I am going to try another kernel.
[HTC Rezound] micnn:
In terms of battery heat, I think the voltage should be also a factor... more so than the running apps or signal strength. Anyway, just a guess. When my phone (battery) gets hot, I find voltage to be around 4.5v, which is rather high.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
105 isn't bad at all. Just sitting there and being over room temp less good... charging will cause warming but not idle time.

Yeah, I had issues with ziggy kernel.

4.5v?!?! thats way higher than Li Ion should be. 4.2v is the full charge voltage.
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
I've had 2 batteries since I bought my rezound... the first one after a week would refuse to charge. The temperature on that one averaged around 90-95 .. in high stress it went up to about 110 and crashed. Since getting the new battery i've been overclocked at 1.7ghz and remain @ 80
[HTC Rezound] micnn:
umm... you might be right. It should be around 4.2v. I've removed the battery app to directly check the voltage.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Updated with what little info I could gather. Would still like a larger sample group.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
So yesterday I had a bootloop when I was getting transit directions in Google maps. Temp was super low, phone wasn't warm at all. Before that tho, by about 3 hours, I feel asleep and woke up to the phone cooking my stomache, literally! Left it charging and battery temp was at 140...no boot loops, just ran a little sluggish. A 5 minute stint in the freezer brought temps down to 88ish and was all back to normal.

After those two experiences I'm completely confused on what causes these problems.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I had the odd freeze and boot loops until I switched back to stock kernel.

I am thinking about calling verizon about getting a replacement battery.
[HTC Rezound] kappen:
Well, I can add my experience to this with my Rezound. I never could figure out any single thing that caused it to overheat. Sometimes I could stream pandora across 4g and it was cool... Other times the battery temp would get to 129. I even had it showing the overheat indicator by just surfing the web. Thursday the 3g/4g finally died on it I assume it overheated while I was away from my desk at work (it was streaming pandora on the desktop dock). I received the replacement today and so far this on is staying fairly cool, the highest I've gotten it is 100.4 but I'm still loading apps back on and stuff. So was my original defective or maybe the battery? I'll see how this one goes.

I forgot to add that there were times when my old rezound was on the AC charger that came with it that it would still show a - charge on battery monitor. So far this phone has not done that.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Charging will heat it up. I am guessing it is the battery that is the issue and not the phones causing the heating.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I am always at a computer so I charge my phone using USB 90% of the time, and I have been watching it for heating issues, and it never goes about 30 degrees Celsius, I watched at the 99% to 100% too because I thought I read that it gets hot then but it actually lowered.

maybe a bad battery is the issue and not the phone?
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Solved one if the major overheat problems, got an extra battery and external charger. I just swap batteries once a day and its great. But it is completely random with the overheats. Some games are cool and hot.
[HTC Rezound] Vashypooh:
Usb charges it slow unlike the real charger. 500ma
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
So, I swapped batteries seeing if that helped as some others stated ...did nothing. I also reverted back to a stock kernel and that hasn't helped either. Just sitting idle I'm around 95F...any type of use easily puts my phone over 100F...this is getting frustrating lol.

On a side note, both rezound batteries never overheat in my thunderbolt, charging, high use, both and I have it overclocked to 1.6Ghz, so I'm leaning to more of a device issue, as in the phone itself, whether it be kernel related, the actual CPU, or something else. I do realize a dual core chip will draw more power, but at the same time, these chips were marketed as being less power hungry, so that doesn't make sense either. Only other thing I can think of us something to do with construction, if there's a bad design with whatever cooling system, i.e. heat sink if any.

Just throwing out ideas here.
[HTC Rezound] Dsoto87:
On my phone atleast, my overheating issues have been due to the 4g radio. Turning off my mobile network killed 2 birds with one stone. When playing games, for instance, my phone would heat up like a stove and drain the battery extremely quick . Now I turn it off whenever an internet connection was not needed.

I always thought shutting off mobile network would prevent you from getting text messages and phone calls but apparently that's not the case. By turning off mobile network my phone no longer heats up and my battery life has gotten better. Unlike my Inc trying to connect to 3g, which took forever, the rezound connects to the 4g network almost instantly so its not a hassle to turn on as necessary.
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
I only overheat from prolonged playing of some 3d games, notably deadspace. It gets a little warm when I have horrible service. I can surf the net for hours, and never get over 95 degrees. I wish I could be of more help. I have had 3 rezounds, and they have all behaved same for me. I think mine is from the battery, but have yet to get another to try.
[HTC Rezound] kappen:
Okay, as a followup. Yesterday I kept the phone on Wifi all day and did pretty much everything I could short of using GPS software which will have to wait for a bit. and I don't think the temp ever got over 100 degrees.

Today I turned wifi off and let it run on 4G I just got done streaming 30 minutes of "The Tech Guy" over 4G with the display on the whole time and the battery got to 104.5.

I really think my original phones issue was either in the power circuit or the radio and I'm leaning towards something in the power side of things. I don't believe its a battery issue because I put my old phones battery in this new one and nothing changed it stayed cool.

As far as why? No idea.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Were you using the stock usb and charger? I had problems with one of my generic cables that caused an overheat, phone just didn't like it.

Why would you need a replacement battery if the phone works properly stock?

How to underclock?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
underclocking only improves active and idle battery life. it has no effect on sleep battery life as your device should be running at 0mhz when sleeping until awoken. or so it was when i was messing with the clocks on my old n900. i would assume android would be similar.

the only time it would have any effect would be if your phone is not going into deep sleep. ie. an app is boot looping, or youre downloading, or you've left wifi/bluetooth/gps on. then it may improve battery life a little.

Advice?

Can this method be used to return a rooted/hacked/modified phone to FULL factory stock so you can return it for a warranty claim? IE- will it remove clockworkmod, superuser, and any other traces that you messed with the phone? Also, is this for verizon?

I had a lg vortex I had to return recently due to a blown speaker making my calls sound like a kazoo.

I DID root it (using gingerbreak)

I DID run some sketchy root programs like setcpu, wifikiller, root explorer, wifitether, and a few others

I originally ran ROM manager to backup my rom when I first rooted, but it said it installed clockworkmod (selected LG optimus V from the list and it worked) in order to run properly.

I have slowly uninstalled all of the software, used rom manager to restore my first backup, then uninstalled rom manager, installed gingerbreak, unrooted, uninstalled gingerbreak, uninstalled everything, then did factory reset from settings menu.

As of today the phone looks stock. No superuser. No sketchy programs, I'm just not sure if CWM or something else could have survived the factory wipe from the settings menu. I know superuser survives a factory wipe, so I'm not sure if I still have dirty files lying around. If verizon knows I rooted my phone it will cost me $309 :(

Is that good enough? I don't want to return a device that has evidence files on it, but I have no clue if clockworkmod got uninstalled with rom manager or not. I never changed roms, I never knew how to boot into cwm, I don't know if it's still there or not. Advice?

EDIT: You should note that my phone is NOT bricked- the speaker is blown, so there should be no limit to the menus, functions, or software tweaks available which would be needed to fix my situation. Also it should be noted that I am not the type of person who condones returning a bricked phone to get another one- That hurts us all. Unbrick yourself using a thread like this or eat your mistakes.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtheug:
ok, i was watching qbking77's international galaxy s2 ics leak review (here), and i got to thinking.

the ics version of the touchwiz lockscreen basically displays a circle with a lock in it wherever you touch a finger. you then drag out to unlock.

my idea.

modify it so that you still have that for unlock, but if you touch with two fingers, it displays the speaker, and when you drag them out of the circle, it silences it.

what do you guys think? i'm no dev, so if a dev likes the idea, feel free to use it.

This may or may not be helpful, but I use WidgetLocker and it has an ICS slider theme that allows you to choose 4 different actions, depending on which direction you move the slider. So I still swipe right to unlock, but swipe up for flashlight, left for camera, and down for ringer toggle. Not sure if there are drawbacks to doing it this way (I'm an android noob, still on rooted EG30 with stock kernel), but it works nicely for me.

Hi,

i have a big problem i think... :mad:

using my GN for a while playing or listening music, the phone goes for high temp around 44°C and sometimes this heat occurs for no reason.

Moreover, using go locker when i change the default background to a custom wallpaper, the GN goes to high temp and this issue is systematic!!

The other problem is that with this high temp, my clock widget get freezed on the desk. I need to remove it and add it again when the temp is low (around 30°)

this happens with several clock widgets (BW, Simi, typo,...) and different roms (romow 5.1, rocket v12, cassie v5)

For information, when i received my GN with KJ1 stock rom, i wasn't able to play Angry birds has i had graphicals bugs (can't see birds, balck squares in menu,...)

Then flashed to KL7 (rocket and official) and it was ok

but not ok with KL7 cassie v5

I need your HELP plz, do i have a gpu issue? (dont know has all 3d HD games are working fine)

what should i do, return the phone?
