I've had this phone for nearly a year (8 gb AT&T version). It is completely stock running Android 4.1. Lately, the phone has been getting extremely hot with even low to moderate use, to the point of having to even stop using it for about 15 to 20 minutes to let it cool down. and the battery seems to be draining a lot quicker than it ever used to be (5 to 6 hours).
When looking at the battery stats, it says that "Android OS" is eating up most of the battery, which seems atypical to me; usually its the screen that eats up most of the battery.
So is there anything I can do to fix this? I know rooting and installing a custom rom would probably help the battery life, but because the device is still under warranty I don't even want to take the chance with it, because my contract expires in October and I don't want anything to happen to my phone in between then.
Like I said, the device is still under warranty so is overheating/lower battery life a plausible reason to get a replaced phone? Also, would I have to go through Motorola to do this or through AT&T? Any insight is greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Battery is a reason and I'm sure it overheating is also so if you do in fact have a warrant and don't want to run a custom rom I'd bring it to att.

I remember when I was on a road trip my HD got extremely heated to the point where the phone itself wouldn't let me do anything (error message saying the phone was overheated) Maybe you life in a hot place? That was my issue at the time. Excessive use?

Have you been using the stock charger?
I agree with echofiive. I've noticed the overheat warning when ambient temperature is very hot.
I'm not sure your condition would warrant a replacement though

I live in New Jersey, so its typical summer weather but I don't think the weather is the cause, it just gets really hot from normal use. I'll give an example, I was sitting in a car a couple days ago (not the driving) and was bored so I decided to play some candy crush. I played for maybe 5-7 minutes until the phone got too hot to even touch. I never got any error messages or anything but I had to put the phone down because it was too hot. I also checked that the battery went down about 5-6 percentage points, just for playing a simple game for 5-7 minutes; candy crush is not a very demanding game like some 3D games are. the same thing happens when i'm just using the phone on facebook/twitter/browser etc. for around 10 straight minutes, I end up having to put the phone down. I was never having this problem before which is why I am concerned and my warranty expires in less than a month so I want to try to get a replacement before the times is up.

Yes I use the stock charger with the stock cable. I occasionally charge on my computer, but thats only once in a while. And even though I haven't gotten a overheat warning yet, I'm sure if I used it for just a little longer than I usually do I could probably get it (and burn my fingers in the process). Wouldn't that warrant a replacement? The phone obviously isnt supposed to get that hot that fast, and the battery isnt supposed to drain that fast as well.

Hmm, the problem seems to be battery related then. Some sort of short between terminals?
I guess you could take it down to the store and explain the situation. They'd probably have to open it up to have a look. I have a feeling that by swapping a new battery it might get fixed.
And as for battery usage, my Android OS is also consuming more battery than the screen so that really isnt a valid indicator. Im not sure exactly how hot your phone is getting because a warning message should pop up on your display.
Let your phone completely discharge till it switches off. Then recharge till it hits 100%
Try this cycle atleast twice and then use it and see how it works out

Yeah I'll definitely try to do a few power cycles. I may be able to get bette battery life that way. Not sure if it will help with the heat but its worth a try. And I will probably still go to AT&T just because I still have warranty so I might as well give it a shot.
Maybe its just too hot for my general comfort, maybe thats normal for a dual core phone, it just seems hotter than usual. I do have a case (that I usually dont use) that I can put on to maybe make the phone not feel as hot while I use it.

After I installed froyo, every time i use my N1 to surf the net, it get hot and lose battery charge fast. I don't know it is normal or what but with eclair, it was never like that. Maybe it is a bug but i need some suggestion, should i just wait for google officially release froyo or should i call HTC to replace the phone?
if they would even do it.... certainly does not sound normal at all.... can you just go back to 2.1 and see if it is ok?
Dude, I'm so glad you posted that, I have been worried the whole week because I am having the same problem.
I started noticing it a few days ago, but didn't think it was important because it was a specially hot day here is Spain (we reached 38ºC during the afternoon) and imagined electronics would be affected too.
However, it continued during the next days. The antenna cover (where the letters "htc" are written gets mildly warm / extremely hot for no apparent reason, although surprisingly the battery is cool when removed. Last night the phone had a temperature of 40ºC after having been idle all evening and just using the browser for ten minutes.
I also think it can be because of Froyo, since I didn't have this problem before installing it. However, if it turns out it IS a hardware problem, what would happen? Would htc repair my phone, or replace it altogether? I've never had to send a phone back for repair so I wouldn't know.
My nexus that I just bought last night gets a little warm near the bottom. If it hurts to touch it then it's "hot".
I think it's just that you're paying more attention to your phone now that you've modded it. Kinda like when you get a turbo kit installed on your car. You start paying more attention to it. You hear things you've never heard before. Wondering if the turbo kit is causing problems. When in all reality it's been making that noise before the kit you've just noticed it now. Hope that shed's some light on it.

The question is, it gets a little warm when you're doing what and after how long?
I've also considered the possibility that I'm just more aware now, but I really don't think that's the case. The phone is not boiling hot (as in, it hurts to touch it) but it's not something you would fail to notice either. If you grab it in an horizontal position, the heat definitely gives you an uncomfortable sensation.
I used to feel my phone getting hot after using the GPS for a long time, especially under the sun: but not it happens after browsing for 10 minutes at night, that's just ridiculous.
well i guess i wait until official froyo release and see what happen.
i too noticed this problem. especially the rapid battery draining during browsing jumps out to me. when idle or doing something else, battery life is normal. when the processor is intensively used, i believe the battery drains at a disproportional rate to other use.
stock 2.1 and mine gets pretty warm at the bottom of the back when using for extended period or when its charging. Been the case with most of the smartphones I have had so I just wrote it off as normal, even more normal as this is the thinest smartphone I've had. Coming from a Touch Pro2.

Yea, you just described my situation but when I turn my screen brightness to minimum, the rapid battery drain isn't so bad. The battery temperature stay around 97 to 98 F. I hope the official froyo release will fix all this.
Guys, I have installed the latest CM and the heat problem seems to have gone away. I have to keep checking but can you try and see if it works for you too?
This is an issue with Froyo. it doesn't happen with eclair. anyways i noticed it to. The only time it gets hot is when the phone is in the charger and i'm playing with the phone.
It seems my android system is destroying my battery , it is always at the top of the list with display usually coming in well under. This screen shot was taken with very little use today. I upgraded the battery to the andida 1980 mah battery and I have been using juice defender ultimate and I do get a few more hours out of the device but the android system is still the largest drain. any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Welcome to the club. I charge mine twice a day at least.
Dude, no kidding. I charge mine 2-3 times daily, plus the whole time driving to and from work. Android eats normally 50-60% of my battery. Sadly, I still love it. Plus I work for at&t selling these things. I tried the 3500mah battery, but I hate having a naked phone.
I'm not sure what I'm doing different but my android system is at 30-39%
sent from my Lg Thrill running Thriller. Using the XDA app.
They say it's some sort of system glitch but no one knows the cause. I'm running Thriller which is amazing. Much better than stock. These phones have a lot of potential.
Change the Launer, try Launcherpro, after installing the launche reboot and see.
After a ton of research this is what I've found. I think its the answer as to why the battery is getting drained, but there doesn't seem to be a fix. I installed Juice Defender which has throttled my OS from coming on and leeching the internet whenever it feels like it. Sometimes I get cell standby, phone idle and display above android OS, which is a god send.
I found this out using Battery history and Betterbatterystats.
The main culprit seems to be the Suspend command. Google knows about this issue and LG had to of known but they released Froyo on the Thrill anyway.
Issue 11126
I use watchdog to monitor mine. At first I set it to alert me if it ever went above 30% which should be way to much but I got it so often I decided to move it up to 50% to give it a little extra time to "suspend" my phone. I get less alerts now so it must be working eventually but I've had it alert me at 80% before...suspend....using 80% processing power to put my phone to sleep?!?!? Thats rediculous. So you go into the "partial wake" section of betterbattery and battery history and you find out that the main culprit of keeping your phone awake and fighting "suspend" is either the "dialer" or "datatracker". Dialer seems to encompass anything that uses the internet but I could be wrong so that one is pretty broad. DataTracker turns out is your Fast Dormancy. There are many threads on the internwebs that tell you how to disable fast dormancy as its more of a neusance than usefull if the carrier isn't tuned right for it but none of these seemed to work for me so for now I'm stuck letting dialer and FD fight Suspend and just catching it when I can with Watchdog. Gingerbread can't come soon enough and hopefully its a version that fixes this as many users in the "issue" thread were using GB.
I lost tons of sleep over this and the only thing I could do was install Juice Defender. I hate depending on a 3rd party app to control and throttle everything on my phone but so far I still get all my push emails fairly instantly and really don't even notice its there, I still just hate the idea of it. but, for now it works. Yesterday I was at 27% after 17 hours of moderate use. Phone calls, emails, texts and maybe even some 3D gaming but I couldn't remember for sure. I also use Battery Graph to give myself a visual representation of my battery throughout the day and that helps me see when and where my batter is getting drained or if its going to sleep properly. Keeping my Wifi on also seems to drain it so unless I need fast internet I have it off. It doesn't seem to sleep properly when its on even if I have it set to "sleep when screen off" as the phone still likes to "partial wake" and run wild on the net.
Sorry if its long winded and confusing but after tons of research on this I've come to accept what I've found. I hope it has helped someone.

I also changed my launcher to Go Launcher and it helped LG Home stop using battery.
So there I started out at actually 70%. After swapping to launcher pro, rebooting, and charging, it's gradually gone down to 40%

My android system is at 23% with GO Launcher EX. It's the third at my list with Cell Standby leading with 34%
I've been unplugged for about 2 hours now. Oddly enough my phone only says 21 minutes. Android system is back at 67% and standby is at 10%.

You all have to remember froyo isn't the greatest when dealing with resources hence why Gingerbread was released so hopefully once we get that update things will be much better.
If you use cwm, try battery calibration. when you reset it the battery meter become more accurate.
I use up my battery from 100% downto 40%really fast. but the remaining 40% looks far more than the first 60%

today is the 4th day with my Moto X...and i'm a little worried about my phone because of my battery issues.
the first day i got my phone, it came with 50% of charge and after some usage it got down to 14% but then, suddenly it dropped to 3%. I have some experience with this issue in my previous android phone, so i just tried a charge cycle and it is pretty much ok now.
BUT THEN
yesterday, my wifi was on and i was charging my phone and it went really hot, according to Antutu Benchmark the temperature was 45.1°C (113.18°F)... i quickly unplugged the phone, and it cooled down within 3 mins..
now today morning,
i made the phone shut down itself by draining its battery, kept on charge, i was not ussing it, only wifi was on and the temprature went 44°C (the charge was around 30-40%).. i left the phone as it is.. and then when the phone charged up to 92% it got better (37°C)
IS THIS ALL NORMAL? DO YOU GUYS FACE THIS?
if not, i'll have to replace this, so please help...
apart from this, i noticed that the device runs for a pretty long time at 1% charge
My phone definitely gets warm when charging. I don't have any apps to tell me the exact temperature, but it doesn't scare me. 45 °C is far below what the electronics can handle, and I wouldn't be concerned, it is well inside normal operating range in my opinion.
My battery is currently 102°f on network surfing the net unplugged. I've seen it as high as 113° and have not had any issues with the battery. I'm still getting 24+ hours between charges.

Batteries naturally degrade over time. That simply speeds up the process slightly (light tasks) or slightly more (gaming). I've done it on all my 7 smartphones (including my first from 2011) and all the stock OEM batteries are working to this day.
I've even gamed heavily (when I enjoyed those things..) on my S2 i9100 and iphone 4s and both those phones get awesome battery life to this day. The S2 was even left on a shelf in the garage over an entire winter lol.
It's just the word damages could misguide people so I wanted to clarify.
But charging temperature can vary between two identical smartphones. My first iphone 5 was rather cool to the touch while charging where as the warranty replacement I got (dust under the lens, they swapped it for a new one) I got tends to be warm and even slightly uncomfortable to hold while using the device moderately and charging at the same time (same charger). It's just variance in manufacturing. No two processors are alike, no two batteries are alike.
thanks for your reply everyone... i guess i'll have to live with it..
maybe i'll just avoid using my phone while charging..
So I got my nexus 6 this morning, and as I've been using it, I've noticed it gets hot, not warm, I mean hot, I placed it screen down on my bare tummy, and it burnt :\ I've never had a phone do that before, I've left it off, unplugged for now to cool down. Anyone else having this problem?
I've had it happen with my old Motorola Atrix 4G after installing a new ROM, and going through installing apps and such. It's not entirely uncommon, but it can be a little jarring. Seems like it's most likely to happen when there's a lot of stuff going on at once. Kinda like getting the new phone, getting all the apps you used to use, updating existing ones, etc... all at once. lol
Install a CPU monitor and see what its running at. Also check the battery temperature and let us know because mine is usually cool even when I run a benchmark at 2.9ghz

it will get hot when plugged in, no matter what. have you checked to see how much voltage is going through the charger? it much more than on any other charger that ive ever owned.
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the LG V20 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
What heat? The battery gets a little warm while charging. Once charged it reverts to room temperature.
i did a test. now the file got corrupted (because i used both, horizontal and vertical mode) so,, if i get to fix it i will upload it IT last about 3 hours playing 1440P videos, but the battery warmed upto about 41-42C. If the corrupted file doesnt fix, then im going to do a 1080p video and see how long it last.
Warm, similar to S7 Edge
I know Samsung is getting heat right now, but the LG did get warm when doing the initial download and setup. Not hot, just warm. During charging using AIDA64 I saw temperatures around 50c at times, and the battery temperature was up to 36c. This is similar to the temps on my S7 edge. I was not doing a fast charge, just using a regular wall charger with the included cable.
This phone is perfectly fine, and does NOT heat up any more than the average smartphone does. No need to worry about anything here...
I haven't noticed any heating at all, Even when setting up.

Just got my v20 a week ago and this thing runs cold all the time. Im coming from a HTC 10 and it's quite nice. My HTC 10 would get hot enough while charging it or playing a intensive game it needed to be stuck in a case or it would almost burn me.
My V20 was running hot, over 102°f
I had 32% battery life when I pulled the battery and waited 2 mins before I turned phone back on. When I turned phone back on, I was at 18% battery life and it's still declining as I'm writing this. WTF???

Same here, had it since it first came out and never had any heat issues with it. I swear these manufactures release updates and cause our phones to start acting up wherever they release a new device. It started happening after the G6 was announced and I received an OTA update for bug fixes! Bug fixes my ass, they just want us to buy a new phone!

Actually I had this problem a week ago. I had an LG V10 before that did the same thing then a few days later fried. I had to return it for warranty repair then sold it. Fast forward to an LG V20, love it had it for a few months then suddenly it was draining battery fast and getting hotter then normal. I downloaded a few battery apps to help me trace the culprit but to no avail. Finally one day I just powered it off for about 2 hours and it has been back to normal since then.
Very strange and got me a bit worried about another chipset frying or another bootloop... lets hope not.:good:

I have played asphalt extreme for at least an hour straight a few times on wi-fi, with the screen between 60-70% brightness and have not experienced anything except minor warming.

Need to follow your update cycle, getting phones and keeping it until they stop working. I have so many phones that I've collected, I used to switch out just for sake of changing phone shape etc.
I'm on v20 and intend to use it until it dies.
I does heat much more than expexted
