The same here regarding the choice of phone and the same story about filming or taking pictures in a sunny day.

BUT this post is not about it but what should we do about it. Somehow SONY has to answer us and acknowledge the problem. Ok, even if it is a few, they need to issue the confirmation that there might be this problem on some devices and what should we do about it. This is how the company should react to their mistakes.
[Xperia Z2 General] nealkoy:
The problem is with thermal handling the way I see it , the phone heats up because all cores are running at max frequency on longer duration. Sony mut have configured the kernel aggressively. It is likely possible this was done to allow 4k video recording even at short minutes time.

[Xperia Z2 General] Anton Sh.:
Non-techie question, does it really necessary to use all cores at max when watching video? Or downloading data over 4g/wifi?
[Xperia Z2 General] SolidR53:
Relax guys, they are most likely working on the problem and will come with the solution of undervolting the cores or work on camera app resource efficiency.

One question, what ambient temperatures are you guys having problems with? Or better, where do you live? (Country and city)
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
If the phone is genuinely getting red hot then of course you need to do whatever necessary to stop the phone overheating and causing harm to components (including the battery) but there IS an issue that can't be ignored/discounted even if some people aren't experiencing it.

The key question is: Is it hardware and therefore unfixable, or is it poor software that is causing the phone to run too hot despite there being no actual need for it to get that hot?

It's not just 4K video (I've come to accept that, unless Sony decides to undervolt as in the possible solution mentioned above, 4K video will be limited. It's not the end of the world, as while I may record some things in 4K it isn't going to be of any substantial length), it's just taking ordinary pictures.

Using mobile data also seems to be another factor. If you have, say, Photos or Dropbox uploading pictures and video in the background, that can also cause the phone to get red hot.

If you've got a good 4G connection and an unlimited data tariff, why wouldn't you want to upload stuff there and then (rather than waiting for Wi-Fi or when charging)? Doesn't seem to be a problem on other phones.

Sure, Google or Dropbox could fix things by having a setting to only auto upload when there's no other (major) CPU usage, but surely a Snapdragon 801 device isn't under stress because two things are happening at once? Uploading a file and taking a photo. If that pushes the phone to overheat, there HAS to be something Sony can do to fix it.

Precisely. If you are getting the camera shutting down so it can 'cool down', when it's just 21-23 degrees (albeit humid and probably hotter when the phone is in direct sunlight) then you have to start wondering. God help those who take their Z2 to somewhere hot this summer hoping to take loads of photos and video.

Mind you, if it's by a pool then you can always dunk it in to cool it quicker!
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Hi guys...

Although I agree to OP and I found this overheating as a quite big problem I expect this to happen.

Z2 has same Snapdragon 800 overclocked and named 801 so that's not device that could record 4K at this setup.

But...

I'm long time Sony user and I'm absolutely sure they will do everything they can do fix this.

It could be fixed quite easy as we all see (simple undervolting will do the trick)

Z2 is Sony's new way and after Z1 which I still have and I still believe it's great device, Z2 is next logical step with a expected issues.

Is that OK, of course not...

But, as I said, lets wait for a next bigger firmware update (I heard it's on its way).

You'll know when it comes because it'll have "2" instead of "1" (17.2.A.x.x.x) and I'm sure we'll have great device after that...

We all know 402 didn't do that so we have to wait new release.

Maybe we get 4.4.3 in that, next, big update...

If they don't find a way to fix that problem in next two or three updates then we all know it's hardware issue and we should find a way how to claim our rights.

To end this long post...

I totally support OP idea but let's give them a chance to fix that...

If that was only 4K problem I wouldn't say anything but heating (not overheating, at least not on my device) is present on video playback, on LTA download....
[Xperia Z2 General] donalgodon:
Well, crap. Just when I am in the market to buy the Z2, I find this issue. Panama is a warm, tropical climate, and I am a bit concerned that the overheating isssue will be even worse here!

Is anyone else using the Z2 in such a climate?
[Xperia Z2 General] platosearwax:
I've just sent a message to Sony about my phone. I didn't expect the phone to overheat in Norway sitting outdoors in 18C trying to take a couple of regular 8MP shots. I see other people talking about CPU and battery temperatures and mine seem a quite high. Indoors at 20C with the phone sitting idle for a half an hour and I immediately see a CPU temperature of 37C. I've never seen my CPU below 34C and have seen it as high as 65C. I'm kind of wondering how I will ever take pictures on vacation in Greece.

I think new firmware would probably sort it out for most folks, but I am starting to wonder if I got a defective unit.
[Xperia Z2 General] Anton Sh.:
I am from Tallinn, Estonia. Temperature outside 13-20 degrees.

We could wait of course, thnx for the support by the way. but I guess that position of Sony could've been more clear on that.

If we have it here, with 13-18 degrees, you are going to have the same or even worst in Panama
[Xperia Z2 General] Anton Sh.:
Mine is from the same supply chain, they are for Scandinavia and Baltics. And the same problem here, so either we do have defective devices or we both would be saved by update?

now at least I DO UNDERSTAND why we're they filming penguins in the advertisement video of Z2 :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
Haha :laugh:

That would explain it. It wasn't just a random example, but how Sony expects the phone to be used!

I do wonder if the Z3 will have a major hardware redesign. We can expect Snapdragon 805, but I am thinking the casing itself will be changed (no doubt to reduce the bezel as much as possible) and will be able to dissipate heat more effectively?

If so, it will of course 'prove' that Sony is fully aware of the problems... but fingers crossed, software updates can be made to reduce the impact as much as possible.
[Xperia Z2 General] progressfx:
i onderclocked cpu clock and overheating issue dissapered. problem is S801.
[Xperia Z2 General] astoncheah:
i live in Malaysia. daytime temperature outside is 28-33, i can barely take more than 10 shots and the msg pops up then shuts down the camera. not to mention 4k video.

now i switched back to s5 which doesnt have this issue (in fact i never had this issue with my s2,s3,n2,s4,s5) and i feel the s5 photo quality is much better. but i like the timeshift-video in z2:)
[Xperia Z2 General] HeartUnderBlade:
What did you underclock your CPU to?
[Xperia Z2 General] nealkoy:
What I really don't get about this phone is why it heats up when only watching videos in YouTube. The stock kernel is too aggressive in high frequencies i figure..

Sent from my almighty Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] Anton Sh.:
but will underclocking result in lower productivity? And would the phone be slower? Also it should be done by Sony, not us...

Thats the question... I do not care about fancy-pancy 4k video, but the main functions should work really goood
[Xperia Z2 General] nealkoy:
Agreed! YouTube streaming is Android 101 for Smartphones IMHO. Damn Sony fix this issue already!

[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
Just a few words from Sony customers service...

I asked two questions and they answered (via email) in one and a half hour.

That's very good and it shows we can actually talk to them, will they accept our requests and recommendations - that's something else ;)

OK...

The question was referring to 4K heating/overheating issues...

4K video recording is an advanced technology which makes high demands on any processor if used for extended periods. Xperia Z2 is designed to shut down the camera automatically when the chipset reaches a certain operating temperature. Although we do not restrict the length of 4k recording time available to users, we make a clear recommendation that users shoot in bursts of a few minutes at a time to minimize the risk of shut down.

With SteadyShot enabled, users can experience the very best 4K recording, but having this feature enabled does place more demand on the processor. For a longer recording time, customers should switch off SteadyShot and still enjoy high quality 4k video recording.

So...steady shoot could actually be the main problem or solution - whichever you like better ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
This is what i thought but people have said here steady shot or not makes little difference to none when it comes to heating.

Not using it means less cropping or wider FOV.
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
My idea is that we all file a complaint to them (just go to sony mobile support and send msg)

It would be something else if they get hundreds or even thousands of same reports.
[Xperia Z2 General] raducanmihai:
I'm sure that the problems we see are a combination of bad software and some hardware faults. For most cases a software update should be able to fix the problem (undervolting or whatever they think of) but for some it's clearly a hardware fault.

I tried watching YouTube for almost 10 minutes (indoor, 23 degrees C, plastic case on, brightness automatic on highest setting) and I had a maximum CPU temp of 50C (usually betwwen 46-48C) and battery 33.6C (almost constant). I then started a 4K recording (same conditions, saved on internal, steady shot ON) and it lasted 5 minutes (I stopped the recording, but I got overheating message CPU at 65C/battery 39.8C). I started a 1080p recording right afer I checked the temperature and I stopped if after a few minutes because I got bored (no overheating message, CPU at 60C/battery 40C).
[Xperia Z2 General] tel033:
Yours seem good, what batch is it? (if it does have anything to do with it :D)

I don't care the 4k **** but if I'm not able to take more than 5 photos on a summer day I'm screwed..
[Xperia Z2 General] raducanmihai:
It's a Vodafone Germany unlocked (bootloader unlockable YES) batch 14w15 but I don't think that matters.
[Xperia Z2 General] platosearwax:
The answer I got from Sony was to do a software repair. Haven't had time to do that yet but will this weekend. They said also that if that did not work that I could take a copy of the mail I got from them and the phone into a Sony service center and have them check the phone out for possible fault.

I am encouraged by the folks talking about undervolting. Makes me think that this could be solved with some firmware adjustments.
[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
I'm quite sure they will fix that with one of next firmwares...

If guys here could do that with something simple like undervolting I'm sure they can do that as well...

The main question is will they do that :)
[Xperia Z2 General] lywyn:
I tweeted [MENTION=1346574]SonyXperia[/MENTION]gb about the camera overheating issue, they replied saying they knew nothing about it. Responded back with a google search url and nothing. Tried asking for comment today, nothing.

I suspect they know and just choose not to acknowledge. I love the phone but they are ruining my opinion on their products.
[Xperia Z2 General] jonmorris:
It would be very dangerous to admit an issue that could turn out to be a hardware problem, and prompt a recall.

Most companies won't dare do that and will only acknowledge a serious problem when there's a fix, or it's dangerous, or if there's a chance of a major lawsuit that it would lose.

In many cases, individual complainants are given a replacement device or refund as a 'goodwill gesture' that admits nothing. In some extreme cases, people are compensated and made to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
[Xperia Z2 General] Anton Sh.:
Tried to do it. Not helping. Had the same suggestion from Sony guys.
[Xperia Z2 General] platosearwax:
Premature post maybe because I have not had the chance to test taking pictures in the sun, but I have run the software repair and one thing I can say is that the temperatures I am seeing now in the same situations as before are definitely lower than they were. Just picked up my phone which was sitting idle for the last half hour in a 20 degree room and the temperature of the CPU was 29C and the battery was 20C. A week ago those readings were 37C and 34 respectively. So there is improvement. Will test the camera outdoors tomorrow.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What recovery and version are you using? Did you try to download the stock ROM again, or check MD5 to make sure the file wasn't corrupted during download.

Did you try a Sense based custom ROM, there are several based on either the AT&T or "international" stock ROM, that are very close to stock, just debloated and with some optimizations (which are both good things). Personally, I'd recommend the international base over the stock AT&T ROM, anyway.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akb1ajay:
Thanks XDA and the author of this wonderful guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

I was very sceptic towards this rooting thing as there is always some risk involved but dared to go for it. So I have successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (version 8.4.8). But I need some help because I don't want to do anything in this without any proper guidance. Below written is the current situation :-

I used the second method of rooting in this(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117) guide (manual method) and successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9, then I downloaded the KFFirstAid and used it to backup my Kindle using option 13 "Baclup The Entire Kindle To The KindleBackup Folder". Then I installed Google Play Store using option 18. It worked fine, I got it clean, no problem.

But later in the day I uninstalled "Amazon appsotre" using my root privilege and IMDB app from Kindle. Now I am unable to search from within Kindle using integrated search function. I downloaded Amazon appstore from their website and installed it but it did NOT enable integrated search,I still get "unified search has stopped" massage(I don't know if rooting or uninstalling those apps caused this). Using Titanium Backup pro I made it (Amazon appstore) system app but didn't help.

So my question is,

1. if I want to restore my Kindle to its earlier state using "KindleBackup Folder" from KFFirstAid what sould I do?

OR

2. I remove Google Play Sore from Kindle system apps using root privilege and then connect it to PC and use option 22 in KFFirstAid to unroot it and then factory reset it?

OR

3. I remove Google Play Sore from Kindle system apps using root privilege and then unroot Kindle using SuperSu app settings menu (an option is there in SuperSu settings to unroot)?

OR anything else feasible?

Things look scary to me as this is such a power full tool. I want to know how to go unroot and make it normal so if in future if I need to.

If rooting and installing was a breeze with this Kindle should I consider installing 2nd-bootloader and TWRP and custom ROM?

Please help me.

EDIT :- Factory reset solved unified search problem.
