My battery is overheating? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Even if the temperature is not that high at all, according to CPU-Z, my battery health is often "Overheat"? Sometimes the battery health is "Good" even when the temperature is 40> degrees Celsius. So it doesn't make any sense to me. Should I be worried and what can I do to make sure that the battery is -really- overheating and that it's not just a bug in the software or whatever. Because if it is, I think I will need to send it back.
Thanks.

I also have such issue, but seem like not many face this.

I do too. I'll see the T-Mobile notification and it will tell me my battery is overheating, but never when my phone is actually hot. Is this a software issue? Should I be concerned?
Oh, and I have the Z1s.

Today after using GPS with TomTom I reached 51° Celsius, do I should be worried about it?

How much heat normal? And when is it normal?

As i've stated in the Topic , while charging it heats up cools down when full and when i leave it in the phone heats up again. It's shutdown but the region of heatning up isn't the battery its most on the top i think..
Can you share you experience and thoughts of this? I really wanna take care of my new baby
mine goes up to 40°C when I put some real stress on it. Seems to be alright though, didn't have any issues so far.

Atrix HD has been getting HOT lately

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.

Does anyone else here faces CPU throttling issues when the phone is charging?

I've noticed this a couple of times, and I thought that I should ask the members here too. Does anyone else face the same issue? My CPU throttles down 600mhz if I'm using the phone for some time while it's being charged.
I hope it's not a defect
This is a safety feature. Using your phone while it charges leads to high heat which leads to aggressive thermal throttling.
It's working as intended, trying to save your poor battery from over heating and degrading.
So this must be a motorola thing? Because throttling while charging never used to happen with the s3.

the s3 is quite old with different cpu and SO, thermal throttling is even on nexus phones, as already said is to avoid overheating

Latest phones with Li-Po batteries have extra safety features. It is to preserve the health of your battery, and possibly your personal health as well.

Phone overheating issues

HAS ANYONE NOTICED OVERHEATING OF PHONE MOSTLY WHILE CHARGING, GAMING (should expect some heat not this much). I play PUBG on smooth basic plus extreme with no AA and gfx lower settings. Still phone heats up. FAN seems to be a marketing gimmick too. Circulation of air is v poor.
My question is can this be fixed via twrp custom rom tweaks. I'm willing to experiment.
Excuse me. Are you one of those geniuses who charges his phone while gaming?

I think nubia have fake temp status.
Or is that a bug i don't know
When i turn the fan on at max speed. Temp increased. Things like that happen. Or when i come back to auto from performance mode. Tem goes up.
Which is weird. Makes me believe that all this temp and gpu turbo and fan is a gimmick.
Air temp is 26 deg Celsius.

How do you measure the temperature? Was it a temperature of the CPU or the battery?
If your sentiment is not a user error or a fluke, then your unit is defective. Here's what one of the most prolific Youtube reviewers said about the fan - "it was keeping my phone 8 degrees cooler than my Samsung." I assume 8C, not Fahrenheit, because the reviewer is from UK.

YouTube ers are paid. I check the temp stats from gaming app . Inbuilt.
Plus the phone feels hot in hand. Not 8 degrees cooler. And Hunan hand can easily feel 8 degrees change in temp over 5-10 minutes

Instead of admitting that you were sold a defective unit and exchanging it for a working one, you think there's a conspiracy that involves the Nubia corporation and "paid youtubers."
But hey, I'm thinking this guy is not a psychopath. Maybe it's just a user erorr.
Maybe he thinks that having a fan in the phone should make the phone feel cool to touch during gaming.
Maybe he simply doesn't understand that the fan may be lowering the temperature from 55C to 47C, and that 47C will still feel hot to the hand.
Hey guy,
Can you actually provide real world numbers with screenshots?
No one has experienced anything like this before, so either your phone is defective or you have a nervous breakdown.
Yes, the phone overheats while charging but if you switch on the gaming mode to check heat also in certain Celsius comes down gradually and quickly in my case. So fans not a fake gimmick. Also when you are playing games heat is normal for heavy graphic 3d rendering titles like pubg, fortnight I play pubg with extreme HD and it heats but the fan keeps decreasing the heat. My suggestion is to charge where there is air free flow of air like a fan, AC, or cooler to keep ambient temp in control.

There is term called "anpad", search google. Means noob.
In forums here devs try to explore and experiment with every possible problem the OS or hardware may face.
See im not going to respond further to your low IQ behaviour anymore. Good day to you.

Yes
That is understandable, but then what is the fun of a fan gimmick when you need additional external air circulation with AC.
Even with clash of clans. Not much demanding game phone heats up. Plus additional charging while playing the temp increases continuously.
Circulation of heat and cooling inside the phone is poor. I'm starting to wonder if the battery has nay issues of heat while charging.

Low iq behavior? Projection much?
You are the one who's playing games while charging the phone, something that should not be done to a cellphone battery especially with 26C ambient air.
You realize that by charging and playing you are heating up the battery and the cpu at the same time and that's really going to cut battery's life real quick?

Apologies for the mess. Was relyed on Google voice without proof reading. I have edited now.
I'm not suggest to plug in a charger while gaming, it will make the phone hot, especially when you using the original fast charger. Anoher thing is you hae to know you can't get a high performance with the low temperature, if you get a very hot phone, the cpu will running in a low clock speed. The RM3 can get highest score on Antutu so I think the fan is doing something.

I agree the fan is going something. Had the circulation been a bit effective i think it could have been utilised in a more better way.
Anyways i was just charging the phone while gaming to test the heat limits. Not actually doing it.
Still i have noticed battery heat while standby charging

Question Mi 11 Ultra charging slow while gaming or using

Mi 11 Ultra is charging really slow when I play game or even do a normal surfing or using whatsapp
It's really irritating. Any fix for this.? Is it a software or hardware limitations.??
PS: Phone charges really fast when it is locked nd kept aside. Using indian variant and 55W charger that came with box
Its not 67w charger?
It could be a heat issue. If the phone is too hot, specially when gaming 3d it reduces the charging cause it has control temperature module.

In India we got 55W charger with box. And coming to the point, I agree during gaming it might charge slow due to heating issues. But during surfing nd whatsapp-ing if I charge then also it's god damn slow, do u face same issue.?? Can u pls confirm
When locked it charges really fast.
what is your ambient tempeture? it also affects it.
Thats the reason why some people get the 38min charging from 0 to 100 and others get 45min or more

I think the temperature of phone goes up during normal usage than when it is locked. I think that's the issue causing slow charging during normal usage. But I want to know if this an issue with the device or normal.??

That's definitely no issue! The Snapdragon 888 heats very fast and while charging even more. So there is no wonder it will reduce the charging speed to cool down while using the phone.
