My Diamond is TOO HOT!

I mean you can fry an egg on that thing after almost 5 minutes of use. Never happened to my TyTn II.
Anyone experience this ?

It's a feature Helps to keep your hands warm.

How many degrees does it reaches?
(Try to look at this using something like BatteryStatus...)

Im still within my 15 days swap policy. I can exchange it if the device if faulty. But if his is a common problem to Diamond then I will just wait for a better ROM that might fix it.

A new feature of Diamond!

Where does it become hot (hottest)? The middle part of the back, where the battery is?
Or lower or upper part? Or the whole unit?
I am just wondering if this is a battery problem or if this is due to hot chipsets...
Either of them would not be good news... honestly

I've an idea to fix this.....
Try to use it inside the fridge.....

You can't say HTC didn't warn us thought... they said they would be launching a HOT new phone... who new they've meant it literally

Its actually the lower part of the phone just under the battery. Its very uncomfortable to hold. I just don't want this thing to explode one day.
Obviously, Im the only one who had this additional feature on his phone.

Dont feel left out I, also have that nice feature however it's not that bad. I, removed the battery cover and it's warm at the bottom while battery is rather cool.

I remmeber back in the day when I first got the Tytn II its had the same problem but after the chefs started cooking custom roms the problem went away completely to non existent. I'm assuming its a ROM issue.

Seems to be where the QualComm chip is (see attached image - snipping tool 4tw )
If the image equals the real architecture of the Touch Diamond, the main processor is the reason for that. Probably not the smartest idea to just put it right beneath the surface...
Judging upon this, the Touch Pro should actually do better (even if the chip gets so warm) because the keyboard is between the main unit and the palm of your hand.

That makes me wonder if there is some stepping problem of the CPU running on full throttle by what reasons soever... If this gets fixed this might also have a significant impact on battery life.

Can't wait for custom roms to see what this device is really capable of.

i disabled the htcflow and i watched the microprocessor's activity with the batterystatus plugin. nothing unusual. it might be that WITH htcflow the the situation changes....

Looks like touchflo puts so much stress on the processor. Although its 524,if not mistaken, it feels a lot slower than the tytn which is 400Mhz.
Disabling touchflo changes the whole situation. The device is very fast and responsive(Still Hot). But whats good it is without the touchflo!!!

same here that thing is bloody hot not to mention horrible battery life on wifi since you must use maximum power for it to work properly...
anyone got a link for battery status?
I will try to deactivate touch flo 3d and put the cube much more convenient I think, anyone tried that ?

YES . I wanted to mention also that the Wifi sensitivity is really bad you have to crank it up to the maximum to work decently. This is a radio problem and im sure by Sept. when they release the US version rumors have it that it will have an updated ROM version from HTC tackling these issues.
I still prefers a cooked ROM

My diamond is getting hot - yours too?

Hi,
I'm using the diamond for a month now, and when i'm on a call for lets say an hour or less, it becomes really hot - i feel like i ll be able to cook eggs...
anybody experienced that?

LOL Yes
Wifi on helps u to oveheat your fingers in winter, really usefull xD
Srsly, gets so hot, its normal

Yep, gets hot but not that bad.

your rom and radio effect the temperature somehow. i remember early radios it got realy hot then 1.00.25.05 came out and it was solved.

when i ll be able to synch my diamond =!!!

in mine diamond temperature depends of using wi-fi
if i'm using wireless lan and the "power save mode" is turned to best batterry mode there is no such a hot....but on "best performance mode" temperature of the phone is much higher...
so i think that everything depends of wi-fi

I got the diamond less than a month ago, I also felt that it gets hot, especially when you're working him hard but I upgraded the ROM a week ago, and I think that it's better now...

Yes, once you have found the right radio/rom combo, heat like that shouldn't happen in general use. Mine used to over heat with SwiftBl 7.5 ....don't remember the radio I had back then.....after the switch to 2.03 roms and for me, the use of 1.08.25.20, it has been running much cooler.

Come on it's 600 mhz there running *notso optimal* inside that tight case
Ever navigated 2 hours? Almost starts to shine then.
Chips can be around 85 degrees before malfunction, so let it be. You manage 50 degrees with diamond, that's safe but feels very, very hot.

mine gets hot when i recharge it

My phone gets hot when in use or charging.
Doesnt bother me as its a small phone and as already stated the heat is a side effect of the componets working hard!

on a sunny day ,in the car, plugged into the car charger and running tomtom gps, homescreen plus shows 53°c after 10mins.

Well I guess it may not be any danger for the device itself but I'm pretty sure it's not very good for the battery since heat can overexcite the chemicals in the battery & shorten its overall lifespan.

off: give your phone a girl to chill him up )
on: yeah mine too when i use gps, internet and charge the battery

Mine gets hot when I turn Wifi on.

[Q] Over Heating Issue

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.

HTC One overheating

Hi I bought this phone few hours ago. After using it for a while (not heavy gaming, just browsing the options and stuffs), it gets extremely hot in the back. With a monitor app I can see that the temperature is about 45℃ . I'm on WiFi , mobile data and NFC deactivated. What it could be?

mostly its because its made out of aluminum which transfers the heat away from the internals. so it will feel hot but after a week or so it will settle down

I'm gonna wait few days and if the problem remain I will return it back. Now I'm charging it turned off and there's no overheating. Weird, what could it be?

Mine peaks at about 48degC when using navigation, or using hangouts for video call. Other than that, normal use is around 33-40degC and maybe 27-30degC from idle. Overnight its about 23-26degC according to Gsam.
It does get quite warm when you use it, but it also cools down very quickly due to the material.

Wow 48°C is very high! I think there's something wrong...

There's nothing wrong with that. It's all dependent on the user and his tasks. Devices with aluminum body are known to get hot rather quickly, and as mentioned earlier, it's because aluminum soaks up the heat away from the internals of the device (like the motherboard, processor and such) and therefore prolongs their lives. Plus, if you lay the phone down for like five to ten minutes it'll cool off quickly. I use the HTC Double Dip Flip Cover and I don't have to worry about that - of course it's not a viable solution since not all of us like cases, but it helps, plus I love the kick-up stand feature.

So you think it's normal that it gets very warm after few minutes of normal use?

Unfortunately, yes, that's how it is designed to be. I used a Galaxy S3 for quite a while and believe me, hot plastic isn't fun either, especially because it stays hot for a long time and doesn't cool off quickly, and also the internals of the S3 got hot as well (not just the body) which shortens their lives and also drains the battery fast. It's the same with the S4.

mine got very warm for the first week or so but i was flashing a new rom everyday and i still flash very often but it doesnt get as hot as it did when i first got it

Thanks for all your answers Now my phones is pretty warm even on the screen, gonna turn it off for a while xD Maybe a software update could fix this?

Perhaps, but there aren't any software updates as far as I am aware; the only official OS is 4.1.2 at the moment. If you want to root and go for a custom ROM, I'd recommend either Android Revolution HD 10.3 (for a fully stock experience that's quicker and more stable than the stock ROM) or Trickdroid (which is basically also stock-like but has many nice tweaks and additions) - I have not experienced any overheating issues ever since I went for ARHD and then Trickdroid, but then again I only started taking note of this about a week after I bought the phone; you need to let it completely settle first and not judge so early.
Good luck

Yes I'm gonna wait until Friday. Now I've turned off my phone to let him cool down. After I've turned it up, in few seconds it gets go 40°C (104°F). I've just turned it up!

I've had my One for a couple of months now and everything you've described has been normal for me. 48 is definitely at the high end of temps I've seen on the phone, but the battery and CPU are both capable of surviving that for short periods of time very easily. If you're really concerned you can install something like CPU-Z or CPU Monitor to track the CPU frequency in real time: if the phone gets too hot (by it's own standards) you'll notice the clock throttled to lower than 1.7gHz. If its not throttling, just enjoy the warm feel
Also, when you boot the phone up as you mention, it will of course warm up quickly because its doing a lot of working turning things on and setting up again. 40 is normal use temp for me.

Well that seems high rather quickly. I'd wait a couple of days and monitor the temperature levels and with which activity. If things don't get better, send it in for a replacement. I'd call HTC and notify them about this and see what they recommend doing in the time being. My average temperature is 25 degrees and with browsing and such it usually increases to mid 30s.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

BTW, the quicker you drain the battery the quicker it heats up of course (for many reasons). I prefer my screen brightness at 90% and all services running all the time, which I suspect it's why mine runs at 40 while others may run normally in the 20s or 30s. What things/settings do you have going on right now?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

90% brightness and a lot of background services will most certainly increase the temperature and drain the battery quicker. I have almost every service that I do not need hibernated by Greenify and the brightness set to Auto, even Auto seems too bright for me. That most certainly helps with battery draining as well as heating issues.

Just turn Power Saver on. You won't be missing the slower CPU speed cos the GPU speed is not reduced. Most games will still play perfectly well and you won't even notice any increased lag in any app. Go into the Power settings, click on the Power Saver word, turn off what you don't want then turn Power Saver on

Actually Power Saver mode slows my device down and the UI becomes a bit slower and a little less responsive but it's nothing annoying. In fact, whenever I miss my Galaxy I turn on Power Saver mode so I can experience the slower UI, but even then it is still faster and more responsive than TouchWiz. Haha!

My UI does not slow down even a little bit With Power Saver on I can still play Asphalt 7 at 60fps.

That's nice I suppose. I just turned it on for the sake of trying and you're right, the Ui is still pretty responsive and snappy. Perhaps I was talking about the One X and not this one. I am losing my memory. Lol

Is your Note 4 warmer then typical

Those of you that have your hands on the note 4 already. Does it seam to get pretty warm while using it? The back side to me felt a lot warmer then I would expect from a portable device. I have to be honest I am used to having a hard case on my note 3 so maybe this is normal.
Thanks for your input

I haven't noticed it myself but it is not unnatural that a device gets a bit warm with extended usage. Downloading, streaming, gaming etc will somewhat stress the device. Especially the more you're doing at one time. Happened to my Nexus 5 all the time.

and, since you are in Florida, its still summer there I assume, so its bound to be warmer than it might be here in the beautiful midwest
plus, getting a new phone warm is gonna happen, since you probably havent put it down for more than 10 minutes so far

Thanks. It did take about 20-25 minutes of solid usage before it started to warm up. I do not typically keep the phone on that long but of course i had to configure everything over again so it had longer then average use on it.

Just got mine today and it got a little hot when I applied the OTA update! I'm going to watch it!

Mine got pretty warm after rooting and working it to apply all of my root apps. But it's not hot enough to worry about.

Let the phone settle in. You want a hot phone. Record 4k video for 2 min.
NOTE 4

It definitely gets warmer than my m8 did. Nothing alarming though.

Mine run very cool under heavy usage and i play lots of graphic intensive Games one of those games being Solforge which use to get the Note 3 very warm...but note i got Power Saving restrict cpu performance on which I think drops cpu to about 1.3Ghz each

Mine is far cooler than my note3 and note2. Very heavy use and its rooted , never warm to the touch
