Hi, I have a HTC desire, its nice but it gets hot latley when playing games like angry birds for a bit when the battery drops to 20% or so, and I plug in in.. it starts doing reboot cycle.. I think it only happens until the phone cools down.
I know the only real fix for this is a new mainboard, but I am not under warrenty..
any suggestions on how to live with it, or work with it.. someone told me a bad sim card or sd card might do this to the phone... I have already put 2.3 on it and factory reset and such...
thanks
How old is it? In the eu the warranty is 2 years.

Wow, good to see im not the only one. I have the same problems, and depending on the rom they get worse or better. im running CM7 now and i have little problems, but when i was running the ICS beta it happend a lot, both on and of the charger and in my pants pocket or out.
If its overheated and i take out the battery i can smell a sort of molten plastic / overheated electronics smell.
for me it was the same - main problem is motherboard.
in the end service center exchanged for me motherboard and now this problem is gone.
but before this exchange i did following:
* decreased max cpu speed to 576-768MHz (via SetCPU)
* in one of old kernels I was able to manipulate with CPU voltage level, so i was decreasing it for all freq. which was used by me.
* charging only via PC usb ports - when it was able to be fully charged and not overheat
but the proper way would be only to bring your device into service center...
I would also suggest decreasing the max speed
might be that sleep mode doesn't work entirely as it should in some roms, not making the CPU frequency drop enough when the screen is off.
And your device might be getting old and wear is starting to show.
If it's actually damaged, replacing parts may be the only solution
This is a known problem for the first devices. The solution is to change the motherboard, of course at the service center.

You need to pick a good firmware I worth Runnymede AIO V 5.0.1 Special Edition-> Base Runnymede 1.22.461.2 Official Sensation sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5 [CM7/r2] [STOCK] [AD2SDX] [A2SD] [BEATS] [RCTWEAKS] [Aroma Touch Installer]
no problems found! the same problems arise Earlier.
How did you void your warranty? Rooting or installing custom does not void hardware warranty. At least I got my pvt1 motherboard replaced even when I had rooted and used superglue to fix some broken plastic under back cover.

Ya, the phone is just out of warrenty, it really is only 1 year in Canada.. no ifs ands or butts...
But the phone only seems to do the reboot loop when I play angry birds when the battery is low and or when I play angry birds when the phone is charging ..
I think it happend once in google street view...
in other words intense apps... that make the phone warm up and then the sensor tells the phone to restart to protect the processor from overheating, but when the phone reboots the thing is still hot so it keeps rebooting.. only solution is to take the phone battery out and let it cool..
I guess this problem could get worse but it doesn't happen with normal web browsing at this point. I might have to live with it until I find someone to replace the mainboard cheaper than HTC wants.. otherwise not worth it.
I guess lowering the CPU max might be great so it doesn't overheat in the 1st place, I will try that.
I don't really understand rom, I have 2.3 gingerbread, is there something else I can change to perhaps get a better radio signal on this puppy ?

I have this problem, although until recently it only when trying to use it as satnav.
I'm glad to hear it's a known problem though.
I contacted my provider and they said perhaps the battery is getting tired and causing it to reboot due to lack of power. I pointed out that it was the other components near the sim & sd card slots that were getting hot, not the battery, so they sent me another one. I did buy another battery too and that has made no difference either. As soon as I rooted the replacement phone it started getting warm too. I'm also pretty sure that the "replacement" was a refurbed one, since the optical joystick doesn't always respond and when typing msgs sometimes the vibe feedback stops working mid-word.
It's very frustrating not being able to use it for navigation any more (although it works happily with My Tracks for recording routes).
However since I've rooted it, I don't think I'd get away with requesting another replacement phone. I've tried installing other rom's that might run cooler, but when I do they always lock at the HTC splashscreen and I have to restore nandroid backup.
Hello,
i'm new to XDA developers. Should i buy this phone? I'm thinking about it these days but i'm not sure if it is worth. Thanks for your answers.
The same Problem on my Phone! While charging i can not use my Phone.
My solution: Don't touch while charging. :-(
I think I have same problem...my Desire in regular use get worm at 35% and at 38% burns my hand...and what is wors,for 15/20 min. regular use(not havy or gaming) temp. rise from 28% to 37% but something confuse me...last night I play 3d games for an 1 hour and at 20 min. I put it on charger and continue to play games and 40 min. later temp. is 40% and stil no reboot but butom side of phone(not battery...front side (buttons and screen) and back side) is so hot that I can burn my hand on it. I put statistic that battery indicator show(time,%,temp.). So is it like that to you guys? Is your phone have that heat thing for 15 min. of regular use?
Its pic of last night 3D gaming and its all statistic of temp./ % / time...

Ok, sounds promising. Can you elaborate on that a little bit please? What settings did you use etc?
Ahhhhh.... My gf phone having this issue.. and i think the problem is the sdcard, class 2 and use it for a2sd..
But, i tried to unroot the problems still happen, even without sdcard, the best way for me is leave this phone.. :-(

simply installed it, and it had it run at lowest speed on idle so it could remain cooler
(you can check the settings on it to see what it runs on idle and modify to your needs anyway)
I have similar problem like yours. I suspect the problem is come from SIM because there is no this kind issue happened IF turn to flight mode or tool out the SIM.

Title seems daft, but I have not experienced any hot parts of the phone, yes they get warm but not hot. I've got a yellow patch in the bottom right of my phone, i'm just wondering if getting it hot would sort it out? It was fine when I got it, then it just appeared, it changes size too!
Thanks in advance.

ps, I've played on THD games I tried a stress test but it didn't really heat up.

SetCPU stress test?
That'd only be CPU, but I bet you it gets hot!

Good point, forgot to say that too! Having it charging heats it up quite a bit more.
Google earth, 3d buildings enabled (centred in a 3d mapped city obviously). Top right corner of the screen and the corresponding reverse section gets blistering hot in a minute or two.

Funny, I was just checking that very thing last night to see just how much hotter my bad One X gets over my good one.
Dark Meadow the Pact, both phones side-by-side playing the game at the same pace. After about 10 minutes, the "good" phone's screen surface temperature measured 100 F, the "bad" one's measured 106 F. Measurements taken with an infrared heat scanner. I've "felt" the screen on the bad one much warmer to the touch, almost burn your skin hot.
I got my phone very hot whilst playing shadowgun and running system tuner on performance governor. Forces system to use 2 cpu's only. I almost had an oven in my hands.

I don't know why is my Galaxy Nexux (Sprint) has been getting so hot. I unlock the boot loader and then root with SDK . I installed Cyanogemod 9 and I like to play two game in my GN Bat Walk, Briscola and there where my GN go's up getting as up to 129c. I tryed some other roms and kernels but no change. I'm right now with Paranoidandroid. Any Help will be appreciated.
You ever try using an app like setcpu to check your MHz settings?

129C? As in ~250F?
I think you're a bit off there, but make sure your not downloading anything over mobile data.
Playing HD video makes your GPU or CPU (based on rendering methods) hotter. Sometimes very hot to the touch.
If there's a evident dip in battery life, then it could be an issue with the CPU running when off.

If you had my phone in your hands when it gets HOT. Believe me you would't say that and the applicacion that i talk about is always warning me when the phone gets so high. I think i'm going to unroot and block the boot loader back to see what happens. THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

i regularly reach the automatic shutdown/safety temp of 110C, by choice. at that temp the cpu shuts itself down. 65C is well withing the normal range, and well below the throttle temp. feel isnt a good judge of temperature. feel is relative. try this experiment and you will understand. take 3 glasses of water, one hot, one ice cold, and one room temperature. put your right hand in the hot water and your left hand in the ice water, for several minutes. now put both hands in the room temperature water. your hand thats was in the hot water will feel like its in cold water when put in the room temperature water at the same time. your hand that was in the ice water will feel that the room temperature water is cold. if the air around you is cooler, the phone will feel hot, if the air around you is warmer, the phone will feel cold.
Just thought I'd throw this out to see if anyone else has encountered this problem. Yesterday I was using some apps on my Note 2 (TomTom, voip, wifi and 4G ...) and I noticed the top of the phone getting rather hot, to the point that it was becoming uncomfortable to hold to my ear. This was much hotter than normal. I shut down all the running apps with app manager, but the phone stayed hot. CPU was running only about 10%. Finally I had to reboot...then it was back to normal. Its worrying that it could at some time be damaged by overheating. Has anybody had this problem and/or know what might be causing it? Thanks.
i got the same problem when playing a game in 10-15 mins it heated up pretty fast especially the front near samsung logo it was like over 100 degree
The only time I experience overheating is when I'm playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. It happens after about fifteen minutes of play. I haven't had it get uncomfortably hot but I always stop playing the game as it becomes abnormally hot. It's a shame to because I would like to play NFS more that fifteen minutes.

Yes that's the same area, near the phone speaker and logo, where mine was most hot. I'm thinking it could be cpu or graphics processor but I don't know the internal layout of components. But it seems odd on mine that it stayed hot after shutting down any running apps and only 10% CPU. Maybe something running in the background.
That is where the uber powerful quad core monster is grinding the gears of awesomeness at a mind blowing brain zapping 1.6 billion gigahertz lives at. And his girlfriend mali400 lives right next door and she is pumping out all the eye candy she can to satisfy the pleasure receptor s directly into your braiiiiiin.... Lol
In other words yes that's the main processor and graphics chip suckin up the battery. While it does that it's generating heat as a by product. It's completely normal. Nothing to worry about. Happy gaming. And it takes a while for it to cool back down to ambient.
Hope that helps

Did a quick net search on this and found a few forums reporting this problem. i.e. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...es-your-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100-overheat.html
I reported the overheating to Samsung Support. They said they have had no reports of the phone overheating...sounds unlikely after several months and millions of devices sold. Support suggests doing a data wipe from the recovery screen as this will "resolve most problems". Really? ???
Could be a firmware issue which Samsung will find and fix if they get sufficient number of reports. I suggest you report it to Samsung Support: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/...click on "live chat" for mobile phones.
Need for Speed is a game provided by (presumably) Samsung. If you can't play it for long, it seems like that represents some kind of inherent problem with the device. My concern is whether the overheating will be an ongoing, recurring problem. That would limit the usability of the device.
It's not clear if this is a problem that is worse on individual phones or if this is a problem common to all Note 2s. If its individual phones, then I'd probably like to return it for one that doesn't do this.
It seems the Exynos cpu is located near the speaker/logo. "System Tuner Pro" app reports system temperature under "CPU"
Mine is overheating while charging..I Woke up to a battery too hot message..the only thing different is I'm using a flip cover now,I took a screenshot of the temperature, and this was already cooled down a little..anybody know what this is? It's only been happening while charging though...

Samsung Note 2 Overheating Culprit
Two specific reasons : Quad core processor, Aluminium wiring.
Reports of deformity of the note 2 trickling in slowly. Try using processor hungry tasks and see it drop its jaw in 2 hrs.
they cant recall it, now its getting cheaper every day.
Try clearing the cache, supposedly things can occasionally get discombobulated. Last time my phone was about to set fire (gs3), cleared the cache & dalvik and it went back to normal.

I live in Chicago and summer days are already here. My Note 2 has started to let me down, since yesterday my phone is been up to 40c without any used.44 while charging. I dont think this is normal. Im on stock rom. Thank you in advanced.
Overheating persists
My 2 weeks old Galaxy Note 2 gets abnormally hot on the same area(rear camera part & the front phone calling speaker) while on charging, while playing games usually Modern Combat 4 or otherwise, & i am on stock rom as well. ...if anyone has a resolution for the problem then please share..
I just bought mine yesterday and this is my first tablet. I like it mainly for the size and the s-pen. During my 1 day of use I immediately feels that it's heating up a little too fast around the left side (maybe this is where the battery is). Do you guys have the same problems.
Thanks.

I think that is where the CPU is. I'd install a terminal shell and run the "ps" command to see what process(es) are using CPU.
update:
I've installed Diagnosis App and it's showing ~40C when playing games... Is this normal temp for a tab?
Thanks
Is it normal for a device to heat up under heavy use? Clearly yes. Is it normal for a device to heat up while sitting there with nothing going on? Clearly no. Does your computer heat up when you use it? This is no different, except that there is no fan to help keep it cool. If you are not seeing any problems, reboots, crashes, or abnormal battery drain, why are you worried?
I think CPU problem.
I think the problem is can be CPU.

Totally normal. About 104F, that's not even close to hot. Don't even need to start getting worried until you hit 120 or 130F.
This is starting to be the question that gets asked on here every day or 2. Already about 4 other threads asking this exact question.

I agree with you but, Do you think it's normal when I start to use it and after 10 minutes of web browsing, facebook and downloading apps it increases its Temperature level around 10°C? This is my first tablet and I'm worried about that. I compare the temperature with my Razr i and their behaviors are similar but, comparing with a Sony Tablet S it reaches 30°C doing the same processes. I hope you can help me, I just made a phone call to the shop where I bought it for a device replacement, but it wouldn't have any case if all Note 8 devices present the same problem.
Thank you very much!
This is now my second 8.0 and I really feel that this runs much cooler temperatures. Writing notes for several hours or casual playing I felt the first Note 8.0 also heat up a bit too much (still comfortable to hold) from the left side whereas this second runs nicely without heating up. Also what I noticed yesterday was the while charging the chargers was just warm when before with the first device it was actually getting hot.
