Does your phone get hot charging USB?

Please, I'd like to see feedback from people on what circumstances people are seeing their phone get hot charging USB. If your phone gets hot on a USB charge, try powering down the phone completely and then charge on USB, does it still get hot?
And please, if your phone gets hot on USB charge, post how you're charging, your ROM, and how hot does it get? There are many applications for this. I use Battery Snap, you can use any program you like. If you don't have a program, please don't guess at the poll, but feel free to post results in a reply.
Also one would assume ambient temperature in the room is typical, but if yours is not (<20c, >28c) please post that information too.
Please answer the poll by the typical range of temperature your phone gets on a USB charge. I'd suggest charging around the 50-60% mark to get more consistent results.. For example charging if the phone is at 95% wouldn't be useful information etc..
One more slight constraint; if your phone gets hot "one time" but not other times, I'm inclined to think there was something else going on with the phone at that time. If your phone is consistently hot when charging USB then post results here.

Reserved in case I need to add any info..

I charged my phone off my Dell M6400's docking station today, started the charge after pulling the phone out of my horizontal case and the phone was 29.5C, I looked multiple times at the highest I saw it was 31.3, and most of the time 31.1. Using Battery Snap for the data. Started charge at 80%, as that's what charge it was from this morning until 4pm when I started I do not have USB Debug enabled by default on my phone, nor did I have mass storage.. When I got the mount prompt I just hit the back button.
Phone is about neutral to the touch, slightly cool. Normally when it's on my desk like this it's fairly cold to the touch, so I'll have to update later when I've put the phone in the same place without charging, but I'm guessing it's a few degrees warmer on the charger than off of it.
I'll repeat this a bit over the weekend here too as I have time, this time I'll set the phone sit on the desk for a while first, check temperature, then charge.
Please do post when you provide input on the poll so we know the circumstances... I mean, if your computer room is 35C and your phone gets 40C charging, I think that's reasonable My office here is around 24-25C.

Charged again today from about 75%, house is around 23C (wife likes it cold..meh) and the phone was 27C max charging on USB.

My AT&T Nexus One purchased June 2 from Google overheats and reboots.
Here's what I've found out:
I charge with the original AC Adapter and this only happens when I'm charging and the battery is LESS than 40%.
If the battery is 50% or higher, it's fine.
When the Battery is less than 45%ish, the phone gets hotter and hotter, from 33C up to 39.3C (is what I last see), then it will SHUTDOWN AND REBOOT. When it reboots, it would be about 37-38C. If it's still under 45%, temp will keep rising again, till 39.3% and REBOOT again, takes about 5-10 minutes for this to happen.
Weird thing is, if you pop the battery out and FEEL it, IT IS NOT HOT AT ALL. It's the DAMN phone that OVERHEATS.
2 nights ago, I was charging and reading in bed. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES IN A FREAKING ROW.
7AM EST, I called HTC, and doing a Device Swap.
Have not received my replacement unit yet. Funny thing is, HTC told me they send out device swaps of JUST THE PHONE, no battery no battery cover. So I have to keep my battery and battery cover. And I told them about my overheat/charging/battery issue, and they said if it still happens to mine, they can send me a new battery.
Anyways I will be testing the replacement unit with my battery and make sure it's VERY low to see if it overheats and reboots.
Other info: This happened in OFFICIAL STOCK FRF91. I'm currently running CyanogenMOD 6 RC1.

Hmm, yeah that sounds like hardware problems to me.. Curious, what are you using to measure? I'd assumed the battery temp stuff was really the battery, not .. something else?
In my case when my phone is cool, the whole phone is cool, not just blindly looking at numbers of course.

Again, would the folks voting really high temps try the things in my first post, and let us know what the ambient temperature of the room is, how hot the phone feels vs the measurement, what's being used to measure it... But particularly I'm curious if totally powering down the phone makes the problem go away.

Dial *#*#INFO#*#* then select Battery Information. It will tell you temperatures there. But I think the temps there is phone temp not batt temp, since in my case when it days 39.3C and I pull the batt, it feels less hot than the phone itself.
Also for my case, it does get hot and reboot while USB charging. Reported 3 time in a row again yesterday and I got pissed and HAD to turn the phone off.
Anyways, waiting for my replacement u from HTC.

Well got my replacement Nexus One today, serial number is higher than my 1 month old Nexus One.
I got it go to up to 39.8C and it did not shutdown and reboot, but stuff started crashing.
Music playing would stop, then if I try to start the song again or choose another one, Music app would Force Close.
Started Navigation app and that right away FC.
Anyone experiencing this?

I think you are using a goofy USB cable, or your room is HOT. Because the only time I've had my phone overheat, I was at a pool, in the sun. The phone's temp was 45 c also. I could still use it, but it was burning hot. An app notified me of the temp (I had it set that way) and I turned the phone off.

I'm using both the original AC adapter and usb cables from google.
Also AC has been on it's under 80F in the room.
The other day on the unit that keep rebooting, when I was navigating, i had to hold it up to the AC vent while i was driving to be able to use it... lol... sigh.

I usually only charge on ac but i think i can easily hit 37-39 while charging for over 30 minutes. Its has been up to 40.5 before i think but there were no crashes or anything. everything was stable (its hot but not enough to be seriously scared or anything)
the room at night is around 24? varies alot but the phone also sits on my bed and/or pillow/blanket. try not to cover it when i sleep.

Charging problem

So my HTC One does something really weird sometimes and im afraid if this keeps going on something bad will happen to it.
since i got 5 months ago this has happened like 4-5 times. and i charge it every night. so, sometimes when I charge it and go to bed I wake up and check the phone and even though it was charging when I left it it has only charged for like 20% and even though its connnected to the charger the charging icon wont show. plus the phone is too hot. and i dont mean warm or hot on the back. I mean too hot to touch everywhere, not only the back. Everywhere it has aluminium its too hot. this has only happened 4-5 times and I immediately take it off the charger wait a bit to cool off and then start charging it again and everything is fine. While its hot no warnings pop up and the phone works just fine, but its extremely hot and even though its connected to the charger it doesnt charge. why is that?

bump

Hey,
This might be a problem with the charger.
Try using the original charging set provided with the phone.
Is there anything you do with the phone that may be considered out of the normal when you charge it?
Worst-case scenario, this might be a hardware fault. In that case you should be able to claim it under warranty.
Good Luck

Something similar happens to me on occasion. It'll be plugged in but when viewing in/out mah, it actually shows it's draining. Less than when it was unplugged, but still draining although it says ac plugged in. (using battery monitor to view btw). When it does that, and it's left plugged in (like overnight), it's abnormally hot when I check it. I have to unplug it and then plug it back in (sometimes a few times) before charging levels go back to norm.
Sent from my HTC One

It happened on me for 1 or 2 times as well, the only different is mine is not really hot. After i flashed custom rom, it seems everything is fine. I guess maybe there are some bugs in the original rom. Now i am using the rom based on google edition. Good luck

I am using the original charger and it does this but it also have done this with a samsung charger i have used some times. something else that I noticed is that when I'm charging and using the phone sometimes the battery percentage drops.

Fixed screen, at first green light on charge, now not booting and overheating charge

Hi today i got my nexus 6 back, after a smashed screen, i put it on charge and at first i had the green light in the speaker grill, then after a few minutes that light went out and nothing much happened when i tried to turn it on, i left it to charge for a while and when i went to check on the phone, it was getting quite hot (probably as hot as it would on heavy gaming).
Basically i don't know the issue here, im hoping it is a minor thing as at first something did happen, then the overheating with nothing happening. Do you reckon this is done for, or it is saveable?
Thanks

Personally, I'd return it because they messed something up during the repair.

I reckon so. Because i opened it up myself and a bit later on after i had a fiddle, i was able to boot it and get off photos, so clearly the only issue here is the screen. But now the screen at least looks fixed, the rest doesn't seem to want to do much.

Charging loop overnight? Screen may be damaged.

Hi everyone, yesterday I used NeMa's battery calibration to reset the batterystats on my Xperia Z3 Compact running the latest Cyanogenmod. I had done it when the phone was charged at 100% and noticed that the battery instantly dipped to 99% afterwards. I took note but I wasn't worried at the time. Last night I left the phone on its charging dock and slept for about 5 hours and 30 minutes. When I woke up I picked up the phone and noticed it was hot. The screen was fine at the time so I checked the battery percentage, saying it was stuck at 99% which leaves me to believe that the battery was stuck in a charging loop from a bad calibration. I texted someone and also noticed that the Swype keyboard was laggy and unresponsive, but with my lock password, etc. it seemed to be fine.
I powered the phone down and slowly tried to dissipate heat with warm water and later colder water. When I tried to power the phone on, it had shown normal booting until the end when the screen gave out. Currently, it will show normal LED lights up top and calls will still register, but the screen is dark and doesn't seem to have promising digitizer input because I can't answer the call even though I know where to touch the screen to answer it.
Has this happened to anyone? This is my first encounter dealing with this. Any fixes (screen response or proper calibration), or would I just have to get it repaired?

Hello, check this things out
only 2 ways to find out if the screen is working or not working at all
a) a very dark place... start the phone.. maybe the screen is not iluminted proprey ! and maybe the screen is visible ...but very limited.
b) buy a mhl to hdmi cable.. to connect from phone to a smartv.
And see if the touch respons.. if yes the only the screen i out.. if not the screen +touch is out ( dead)

Yeah the screen and digitizer are fried. I'm going to try and return it to the seller stating a defective battery. Has this happened to anyone else? I just need to know if there are any fixes to this if I were to get the same phone.

Poor seller, you blew up your phone with bad software and water and you want someone else to pay for it.

top part of phone get hot after screen replacement

Hello
My screen cracked so I ordered a new on ebay. However after I have put the phone back in its shell the top part gets pretty hot. I opened it and started it without the aluminum shell to test and there were no heat? Anyone know what it might be?
Thanks In advance!

That isn't likely to be the screen. My phone gets warm too. About 4 days ago out of nowhere I noticed the upper part of the screen feeling warm, it turns out my phone had stopped sleeping properly and Google services had resumed chomping on my battery when the screen was off.

Tho when i don't keep it in the aluminium case it's not warm at all, turned on and I have logged on my simcard/wifi. I have left it on outside of the case for 1 hour and it don't get warm at all. However in the case it gets super hot as soon as it boots and then after 15-25m it turns off probably because it's too hot

Happened the same last night with me.
Put a download and slept, and in the morning it was all drained of battery and it showed that it shut down after minutes after I slept with 90%battery.
It was weird. Had to keep pressing power button for 40 sec approx for the phone to turn on.
It's working fine now though

did anyone of you even read my post? I said after a screenreplacement. It didn't just happened randomly. however i fixed it. I removed the camera and the earspeaker and reinstalled them used some alcohol on the contact points on the case and the earspeaker and it seemed to fix it if anyone has this problem later down the road

Hi jullleee, I have the same problem as u after I replaced the screen. The phone getting too hot on the top (one plus 3). On charge it becomes more hot and faster on very high temperature than without charging. Also the battery dont charge . Why did u reconnect the ear speaker and the camera ? Thank you in advance

For anyone coming across this thread I just had the same problem when replacing my Oneplus 3 screen. It seemed to work, and I plugged it in, but it said "battery too low charge for a while", then I got the 0% and seemed to charge and then restart, and then be back at 0% and be stuck in this boot / charging loop. My battery had died hard when my screen died so I thought maybe it just needed to charge for a while, but the top half of the phone got very hot.
So I took it apart again and it turns out the issue for me was with the top ribbon cables that cross the battery. Where they connect to the main board was very tight and it was difficult to get both of them in place properly. Usually they kind of overlapped and one stuck up slightly. It was fixing their placement before bolting down their cover that fixed this issue for me.
Edit: Never mind. Still searching for my issue. Taking the back case off will let it work normally but whenever i snap it on it goes back into this charging loop, I still suspect it's an issue with these two cables and the case is putting pressure in the wrong spot or something but I'm not really sure yet.

I had the same problem, the issue was the fact that i plugged the ribbon cable the other way around.
