so, does it ? i got a bit alarmed by the people looking for ideas to cool the phone LOL (they sound pretty serious oO )
well any device gets warm when using chargin, but im asking wether your gets above what you would call 'normal'
Nope. It gets warm but not hot (unless i overclock it, then it gets quite hot lol)
My Nexus used to get much, much hotter.
It gets warm, all smartphones do. No worse than my Nexus One in general use.
If you really want to be impressed, use it as a sat nav for more than half an hour in the summer
My N1 was scorching after that, and the digitizer stopped working 'til it cooled down.
no problems here
Like everybody's saying, it does get warm, but not too hot

You could better ask for temperatures because warm or hot are subjective

Hi,
when im using GPS-Navigation my Milestone always becomes very hot after a while of usage.
It does not seem to be App-dependent since it became hot when using Navigon as well as when using Sygic.
Mobile data is disabled, screen at auto-brightness and CPU at 800Mhz max.
Does this occure to someone else?
Is this normal or can it brick my phone?
I dont want anything to melt inside my phone (j/k its not that hot actually..)
yup ...
i put it in front of the car vent system so ac can coll it down
but this is common, i have a friend with a htc desire that has the same problem and same solution.
Alright thank you. So im not alone..
But could it become so hot that it damages some HW-Parts?
Mine also becomes fairly hot when using GPS and data connection - even on stock rom without any overclocking - so this seems to be "hot by design"
But I guess the heat could cause a 'bubbly' keyboard to fall apart.

i think so .. that's way i use that method to cool it down.
I've used the milestone gps to log my sailing activities in the sun and ambient temperatures of +30degC. Never had any problems to say the least except for the hot rear. IMO its normal for the milestone to run a bit hot coz i've also noticed similar issues when using only wifi. So don't think there is much you can do. Just thank motorola for building a tough piece of kit.
Is anybody nexus 7 overheating? It seems that the back of my tablet seems to be getting hot out of nowhere and i do not know why.
Are you doing any intense gaming? Could be that causing the N7 to heat up. My One X does the same, but not enough to be uncomfortable. Not got my N7 yet.
Mine gets very warm while charging, and slightly warm when using it. Nothing major though.

Mine gets pretty hot along the left edge of the screen. My brightness is stuck on max though so I think it's the LEDs.

hello...?
My phone got so hot it called me maybe.
It gets warm after gaming for 30 minutes - 2 hours, haven't tried it with full brightness yet though.
Should I try to return the tablet?

More than likely there is nothing wrong, unless it's so hot that it's uncomfortable to hold.
Edit: Never mind. I see you starting multiple threads with different problems. Just return it.
Mine gets warm at the bottom back portion when watching hd videos w/o hardware acceleration (mkv to get sound). The battery temperature remains low though. It must be tegra3 in that spot getting warm, which is normal.

I am having a bunch of weird lag too, something unlike regular nexus 7's. I think I am gonna return it and get a 16 GB for now.

It's a computer. It has a thing called a processor and batteries. Those things get hot. heat is not the same as overheating. If your tablet gets slightly warm to the touch, maybe even very warm, chances are its fine. If it gets so hot that your tablet burns you to the touch, catches on fire, etc, thats when you have a problem.

Install a battery widget, it will show you the temperature. Mine normally is about 27 C. Working/Gaming 30C-33C Charging around 38 C
I think anything under 40 is safe.
I am currently using a GNEX that is now almost 2 years old so i am due for a new phone. So far the Xperia Z is at the top of my list followed by the HTC One.
However there is one thing that bothers me about the Z. The overheating issues i have been hearing about.
To current Z owners. How bad is this issue and has Sony explained what is causing this and if they intend to fix it?
I don't think there is an overheating issue. The phone back gets a bit hot under certain conditions but never has it affected my use. I have a feeling it is due to the tight packaging of the phone and the use of glass which causes this, but I really isn't an issue. Don't let that scare you away from the phone.

Yes, it is not a problem at all. Trust me. Also, I integrated the 3-phase thermal protection into my custom kernel and it works like a charm, keeping it cool all the time.
It does get warm rather quick but it is really only a warmth, not "hot". My old milestone 2 used to be permanently warm and quite hot when using it (especially internet use on 3g). My S2 was usually pretty cool, but got close to painfully hot when playing intensive games like modern combat. So far, the xperia Z hasn't got as hot as either of these phones for me.
The phone does get hot but only when using chrome so I'm sure its not an issue just a bug. I know that phones can get a little hot and I accept that but when I first experienced the heat coming from the top of the phone it was enough to worry me. I am however confident that it will be resolved so I'm not worried.
I really never heard that issue before...
Buy this and amaze

To be exact there is no such thing in the XZ as overheating. At least I did not hear of "overheating". Some phones tend to get a bit warmer during intensive tasks, but not excessive.
BTW, the difference between a bit warm and overheating is that overheating is actually a thermal "shock" that would usually lead to a restart of your device, or a smoking device.
well mine gets hot when i use the screen a lot. System Tuner shows me that the cpu gets up to 49 degrees. I'm really thinking of buying Cooler Master 212 for the cpu I'm really concerned about the cpu life.

This phone will be worth about $10 by the time the CPU is affected!
hope so !
Hi,
Just thought i would let you know. I had my Xperia Z three weeks. On sunday it was on charge and my phone rang. I took it off charge and answered the call.
The screen was extremely hot then it cracked in my ear. There are a few others that i know of on sony forums who reported this issue but Sony are refusing to replace my phone saying its not a "manufacturing issue".
Im left without a phone and starting legal action against them.

I also happen To have this issue, my phone gets got to the point it hurts my skin! I even use a case and the case gets really hot too
When i play S.surfers for about 45 minutes I see that the game doesn't run smoothly.Eventually the display also becomes warmer and that results that the display does not respond properly on my fingers.

with the latest firmware (.244) the phone runs even cooler than with the previous firmware (.423). Also, intensive games lag less.

Does the htc one still get extremely hot? I would like to know because I'm stuck on 4.1.2 in the USA and am patiently waiting for 4.3 and I'm curious if that was fixed in 4.2.2

So far I didn't see the phone get hot. It can get a bit warm but nothing else. All stock 4.2.2
Thank u, warm doesn't sound bad so my only flaw with this phone will be fixed when I get my ota!

One reply can't tell you anything. It depends heavily on how it's used and what's installed.
Keep in mind this phone has a metal case so heat from inside is conducted out much more easily, so it feels hotter than a phone with a plastic shell. This is actually a good thing since it means the phone can cool itself more easily.
Hot whenever i play my games > 30min Or Youtube > 30min
Any other usage doesnt seem to make it hot.
As i am from singapore, the surrounding environment alone makes it feels warmer already
It only gets too hot (but not extremely hot) if it's on a charger and I'm playing graphics intensive games or watching YouTube for half an hour. But that's normal. Any electronic device produces heat. And without an effective cooler it is 100% impossible for any device not to get hot when "under heavy load".
TLDR: it gets hot when pushed but not out of the ordinary.

heat is reduced in 4.2, they changed the thermal configurations. but i have no idea where you live. if youre in singapore, then theres no way itll stay cold. if you live in greenland then itll never get hot.
From what i read, the metal casing acts as the heatsink for the CPU, so really all that heat you can feel is whats being taken away from the inside which is pretty much a good thing

Let me put it another way: the heat is absolutely not a problem.
Don't know how it was on 4.1.2 since i got mine a little later when 4.2.2 was already available and i downloaded it in the first 5 minutes.

Hi guys,
Im new here and fairly new to Android coming from the iPhone (I know....what was I thinking with apple?)..
I have the first HTC One for Verizon, I love this phone and generally don't have any problems with it. I have been testing out ROMs and have been pretty successful with them but the only problem I have is after steady use, maybe 15-20 minutes the phone gets hot. (not burning my hand hot..) But just out of concern for the phone, is this normal or is it damaging to the phone? I'd like to try to make this last the 2 year contract I just bought.
- Thanks in advance

should be OK, the cover acts as heat sink, that's why you can feel the heat more than other phones. afaik, the max HTC specification temperature is 55C.
when the phone goes beyond specification temperature (eg using navigation in the car in sunlight while charging) the LED will start blinking red, and charging will be disabled to prevent damage.
EDIT: you could install an app to monitor temperature; GSAM can monitor batter & temperature
and if you use a lot of apps that use high cpu, you can think about installing a custom kernel with more "aggressive" thermal options

I've never had any problems. When running CPU intensive apps, my battery goes up to 45C but not more.
The hottest I've noticed it was using navigation in the car (but didn't check temperature as I was driving), but I almost never use that anyway.

Htc Does fell hotter than any other android phone , yes! cause its metal it conducts heat !! , i personally think its good that it conducts heat as it cools down at a better pace than any other phone..
Htc one feels nice on the hands in the winter.

I've found in the ROM I am running an app called Trickster MOD which displays all the temps and clock speeds. Staying steady around 40-45c depending on what I am doing. More toward 45c when playing games. I guess as someone said before, because of the metal casing you can feel the heat coming from the device. Thank you for your feedback everyone.

LOL on the heating part :silly:
but sounds about right on the temperature, my phone also stays between 40 to 45C when using games or graphic/cpu intensive programs; i've had it since about march or april, and no adverse effects (so far?)
i almost never use navigation, but if you want to test temperature, try it, it REALLY heats up.
