Hey guys, just out of curiosity, how hot does your phone battery normally get while charging?
I noticed that on average the temperature increases to around 90-92 degrees fahrenheit. However, sometimes the temperature remains at 87;
It gets noticeably hotter while I am using the phone and charging at the same time, however, I guess that is to be expected.
While not charging, the temperature stays at an average of 83 degrees fanrenheit. I am not sure if such an increase in temperature is normal.

Normal. Charging and usage together will create lots of heat.

Ah I see, that is reassuring, hopefully I hear the same from others too
Surprisingly, mine is about the same. I'm charging my phone wirelessly, and the hottest it got was 88.7.

I had switched my phone off and kept it in box waiting for the screen guard to arrive .
During my way to office , i dont know somehow it got booted .
It reached 134 degree fahrenheit (57 degree celcius) , when i opened it in my office after 15 minutes of commute .
Switched it off for sometime and back on , back to normal temps .
Can this kind of temp damage anything for a short while ?
Help much appreciated .

Doesn't sound normal to me. Try a factory reset to see if it resolves the issue. It it continues to do this then you probably want to take it back to the store.

I havn't experienced anything again and currently its running at 27 to 35 degree celcius .
If somehow it got booted during commute , since the box was closed and all , no heat could escape properly . Is is safe to assume that because of the closed box the temp reached higher ? (I had also covered the phone in the plastic it came with) .
So i guess the phone reached its temp limit and kept restarting inside the box .
I want to know if such temps for short duration could have damaged anything , as the phone is working fine otherwise . (Today i'll turn it off and keep in my pocket and commute and see) .
Help much appreciated .

A battery temp of 27 to 35 degree celcius is normal. If you want to protect your phone, get a case and remove that plastic wrapping that the phone came with.

LOL , the plastic wrapping inside the box was just for commute , i was waiting for my spigen on that very day .
But this mystery will never be solved , why did it boot in the first place in the same box the manufacturer gives us (it has to commute on seas and land) .
if it boot cause of commute , why did it reached such a temp in such a box .
Anyways , thanks .

hi,
I used a xda diamond with Igo navi 8.3 for GPS navigation in the car by temperatures around 35 degrees celsius. Unfortunately Wifi was enabled (even more heating) and the sun was shining on the xda's case - suddenly the device switched off itself.
I put it in the shadow, batterry and cover away at let it cool down - but since days it won't start anymore. The initnal screen is displayed, but when the numbers of the software versions would be displayed the device turns itself off again. The same when I try without the SIM card.
Does anybody have a clue what I could do to make the device working again? Or has a part really died by heat?
Thanks for advice

You could try a different battery in it. The battery could be the only bad part. Worth a try.

after some more days of waiting and recharching the battery over 10 hours the device startet again and since then its working - maybe the battery's chemical elements got a damage through heat which was healed during some waiting time....
Thanks for advice!
I've been having some abnormal temperature in my N1 today, and it's got me a little bit worried. It's at 35ºC right now, while not doing anything. It's been a hot day alright, but I doubt that can have such a strong impact can it?
What is your phone's temperature when idle? What can be considered "outside normal"?
31c in the daytime, 28-30c at night.
i believe its safe, anything under 45c
It's weird though, it had never done that. I even turned it off for some time, but still. The antenna cover is definitely hot.
26.3°C right now.
26.6 'C here now..

Right now (indoors with cool temp) its at 80.6*F
Outdoors mine will get to about 90 - 95*F usually since I am using 3g, sometimes GPS, and the brightness is maxed out.
I dont let it get passed 99*F though since that would harm the battery. Good thing is though is it's never gotten to that point
32C right now. I've gone over 50C when using it as a GPS in sunny weather. Battery seems to be fine. Replacement battery at $25 (cheaper if you shop around), so I figured an average battery lifespan of 1 year isn't a big deal.
Damn, you guys have cold phones. Ive never seen my phone below 32c. Even if I check in the morning right when I wake up.
25C.
Lowest I've seen often is 21-22 C, but that is only overnight and I put my phone on airplane mode.
For those of you with hot phones, do you live in hot climates? I've noticed my phone stays warm when I'm out in the sun.
Also, make sure you don't have widgets/etc syncing all the time. I set them to 1 hour at most, and often 4 hours.
29.6.......
Running FroYo and OC kernel atm, so usually range from 26C-38C, anything higher than 40C freaks me out so I set up failsafe on SetCPU. Lowest I've got was 18C/19C with Enom's 1.8.1|IR's kernel.

Got widgets, news, contacts & email synching all the time. So my phone is constantly over 30c. Goes under 30c at night time (less activity perhaps). Regardless, the battery should be sufficiently warmed if you want to keep a charge. Just don't hit the 50C mark too many times though, which is pretty much unavoidable when you use GPS a lot.
But I've noticed that after upgrading to Froyo 2.2 the battery seems to run cooler and drains much less compared to 2.1. That and a boost in performance is short of ingenious on Google's engineer's part.
However, I reverted back to CM 5.0.7.1 cuz it's just not as polished yet. Waiting for CM6 instead.
I think there definitely is something wrong with the phone... I woke up and it was cool when I took it from the stand, then I browsed a couple web pages and I canalready feel it getting warm. It got burning hot when I charged it yesterday, too.
In case it is a hardware problem, what could be the cause?
I've just removed the battery and, surprisingly, it's cool. It's the antenna cover, the plastic part at the bottom where it says HTC, that seems to be getting hot. Does that even make sense?
Ok, this is going to sound odd but I need to know if our G1 phones with froyo installed could be "held on " if near a magnet when not in use.
I rooted my wifes G1 to match what I have in mine(chromer4.5). She has always had hers stock until now. After I got it all set up, the battery was horrendous while mine was fine. Same phone same age. She did install a couple of widgets I was not familiar with so I removed them 1 at a time. I removed a clock last night and left the phone, battery at 55 percent, on the table not charging. This morning, about 8 hours later, it was at 54 percent. I was sure the clock wan't it but I said "what the hell" and gave it back to her declaring the problem over. She charged it to full and stuck it in her case. By lunch it was at 35 percent. I was stunned. The only difference was it was in her case, one that closes with magnets in the flap. I know there is a car dock app for other phones that can use a magnet to turn on.
If any one actually took the time to read all that, is it possible there is some driver using the compass sensor to keep the phone running in the background when near a magnet?
Thanks,
I highly doubt this was a magnet. Its possible and no electronic device should be near a magnet anyway. But not sure. Did you check if she had more running processes going on than you? Is her screen set brighter than yours. Does she have her screen set to turn off at a certain time. Could of pressed against the case. Popped her screen on. And stayed on? This are all things to think about maybe.

I'm still trying things. I have mine "cooking" in the case now and the results so far are not conclusive. I lost 10 percent in 1 hour with phone doing nothing. I will keep trying different combinations until I think I know exactly what the pattern is. I have tried to set everything the same.
My next test will be to turn the phone around in the case. The magnet location is between the word 'google" and the camera.
I will also try to lay the magnet in the same spot and get a logcat to see if anything starts.
Any news yet? Id like to know. I'm learning from you also uno

I have tried so many things its hard to bring you up to date but I am 100 percent sure the case is the source of the battery loss.
I used the case for a day while my wife just kept her phone in a pocket. I was down to 20% in 4 hours of very light use while she had 83% left after 9 hours.
I do have an additional theory for why it drains the battery. It could be blocking the signal so the phone is constantly seeking signal while in the case.
Today she is going to put the phone in the case with the screen facing the magnets.
I will post the results of the test.
Hmmmmm wierd
sent from my superfroyo dream
The case must be pressing buttons on the phone, if ditching the case does not solve the problem.
-charge phone to %100
-turn off phone unplug charger
-reconnect charger and wait for led to turn green
-turn on phone and repeat until phone says %100 instantly and led turns green instantly.
^ This fixed my battery problems i recommend you try it either way (you might get some extra battery life).
Froyo + magnet = battery trouble ? why ?
Just curious to see how hot your phones have gotten.
According to my BattStat widget, my phone hit 65 degrees Celsius last night. I couldn't even hold the thing!
I had ScoreMobile running (which when running, I've noticed the phone get warm before)
The phone was plugged in and "charging."
The phone was also under pillow, under my head.
So, what's the hottest your phone has ever gotten?
i have often gotten it to 60c when i surf the net a lot, video, downloads, etc

Why are you charging your phone under your pillow? That cant be good for raising the temp of the device...
I kinda fell asleep. I don't usually leave apps running when I go to sleep either.
Hi, I bought a SGS a few days ago. Everything was fine at first, but then it started to overheat even for a few minutes of use. It is around 32 degrees celsius when the screen is off, but even if I do nothing and keep the screen on for some time, it shows 41 degrees celsius. If I open a game or the music player it becomes 48.Not occasionally, every time I do the same thing. If it was a graphically intensive game it would probably be 55 easily. I deleted everythng and did a data factory reset, it slowed down the speed of the heating but the same thing happens eventually. I've checked similar threads and someone said even a temperature of 55 degrees is normal, but that can't be true since when the temp is 48-49 the phone becomes really sluggish, and apps stop working. Any ideas?
The most important thing is though, I dropped the phone once. However, it wasn't an issue that day and the day after. I don't think they are related, what do you think? Is there a cooling system that might be damaged? I don't want to send the phone back because there are small scratches around the silver part of the phone because of it and they might resend the phone saying it is the user's fault.
Lastly, the Froyo is installed now. If I upgrade to Gingerbread is there a chance that it will help the temperature stay normal?
I have had temperature of 60 degrees. It's pretty normal, I don't think gb would change anything from it.
When the temperature is about 50, the phone starts to lag badly, the browser lags and the games freeze. Before this, the highest I saw was 36 when playing a game.
As far as I know, when it hits 60 degrees, the phone turns off automatically, are you sure? It becomes very ucomfortable to hold too.
Definitely normal when the phone is doing something intensive. Phones don't have cooling systems - do you want a fan at the back of the device? Also, the phone can go beyond 60 degrees - it doesn't turn off when it reaches 60. If there is a defense mechanism it goes beyond that point. The battery on the other hand stops charging if the phone reaches a certain temperature. I don't recall any sluggishness with the phone at high temperatures or at least nothing like games freezing. One thing to do is to reduce to minimum the brightness of the screen coz Super AMOLED screens tend to produce a lot of heat at high brightness levels and that's what mainly heats the phone so much. Also, you can get a kernel with which you can undervolt the cpu - that will keep the cpu cooler.

I've never monitored internal temperatures, but....
Mine very rarely feels hot to the touch. If I played Dungeon Hunter for a half hour it would get pretty warm (not hot though) but that's normal I'd say. Send it back to Samsung Service Center - this phone costs half a grand, don't chance that it's slowly cooking itself to death!
Oh and I didn't find gingerbread to make a dramatic difference, wouldn't expect it to solve all your problems. Sorry dude.
try uc/uv-ing the phone, might help:\
I told you there was something wrong . It might be normal, but the beginning of it was definitely not normal. The thing is, when I set the alarm, the phone starts overheating. It goes to 40 without starting any apps, and sees 45-48 under 5 minutes of use depending on what I am doing. When I turn it off, it hovers around 36. I've never seen it past 38 even when there are three apps working. I've noticed this a few hours ago and still am still testing it, so I am not 100% sure, any of you had a problem with the alarm? It sounds even more reasonable because the time the phone started to do this roughly coincides with the time I set the alarm for the first time.
Hopefully the alarm is to blame, I can live without that .
