[Q] Phone & charger heats up? - HTC Wildfire S

Hey, I don't know if this is normal, but when ever I keep my phone on charging, the charger heats up. And with about 1 hour of continues usage, my phone warms up. It doesn't become that hot but warms up.
Is this normal?

Yes it is normal
Nothing to worry about.

Phew. That's great. Thanks mate

No problem

Heat protection ? shut down ?

Hello,
Yesterday I forgot my phone in my car at 8am...
In the day I call it from my work, and it didn't ring, direct to "answering machine" (?)
at 7pm, I came back to my car, the phone was OFF, I powered it, 87% of battery remaining...
I don't know it was OFF, so my question is : Is there a heat protection that shut down the phone ?
Because I don't know why it was off.
Thank you
My phone gets pretty damn hot. Never had it shut down on me.
Was is plugged in?
I have had my phone restart on me a couple of times now due to the heat issue. Without the phone being charged i get battery temp readings of 41 degrees. It gets higher when plugged in to the charger
Your car interior can get over 60 degrees C in a short time if in the sun! I wouldn't be surprised if the phone shut itself down.
I've seen 40 degrees plus on normal usage and the phone seems fine.

Charger defective? Overheats & intermittent non charges

I've notice since day one that the charger gets excessively hot. So much so you can't hold it longer than a few seconds before you have to let go. Is that normal? Lastly, I noticed it would charger much slower, at times. If I let it cool off. Reboot and start the charge again, it goes back to charging normally.

HTC 10 overcharging?

Hi. Please excuse my English. My HTC 10 remains warm as long as it is plugged in, that is, even several hours after the green led started to flash. All my previous phones aborted the charging process and cooled down after the battery was fully charged (Of course, I use the bundled charger). This is very concerning. Does it mean that the phone overcharges? I always turn my devices off before I plug them in and begin to charge them. Thanks.
I think this pretty normal. What means warm to you? 40degrees celsius on charger is normal for this device. It does not matter if you charge while turned off as the quickcharge technology works either way and will not quick charge after reaching 80% load. I recently read an article of someone who charged his 10 with an google pixel c charger ( usb c 5v, no quick charge). His 10 loaded normally until 100% but charging procedure did not stop and phone shut down after reaching 50degrees battery temp... maybe your charger is faulty!? How fast does it charge?
I can tell you that my phone tends to get warmer (keep in mind I said warmer, not hotter) when it is plugged in and I am doing stuff (Youtube, browsing, etc...). It will most likely keep warm unless you are not doing anything. I try to not charge my phone overnight since I usually get up to go to the bathroom or get water in the middle of the night, and since I only got like 2-3 hours of sleep left that's when I plug my phone in. You say you turn your phone off when your phone is charging so I'm unsure why it would get hot.
Clarifications
Thank you very much, xperia x root.
By "warm" I mean that the actual phone (not the charger) is above room temperature, unlike any of my previous phones, indicative of redundant electrical activity, which, to my fear, might be overcharging. This is why I wrote that I turn my device off before I charge it: it means that the phone does not consume power, and thus that there is no charging-discharging routine going on. I am yet to measure my phone's charging time.
There's really no need to turn off your phone every time you charge it. My phone gets slightly warmer when quick charging compared to using the regular charger from my previous M9. If you Google "overcharging cell phone", you'll find so many articles about how it's a myth because the phones are smart enough to know when to stop taking a charge when it's completely full.

Yeah i meant the phone too. This phone is always above room temp . Nothing to worry about. While Im typing here(chrome desktop modus) my device battety temp is 40degrees. While using phone during charging it even gets 46 degrees warm, before throttling very hard. I'll watch temp today when charging after reaching 100% and post my temp.

Thanks, xperia x root. When the phone is off, it should, eventually, reach room temperature. That's why I fear that my phone's warmth indicate overcharging. I completely understand that it is unnecessary to turn the phone off while charging, but if it is on, you just cannot know if the heat is due to overcharging, or some operation of the processor. This is why it would be most helpful if you would, only once, for the sake of our experiment, charge your HTC 10 today while it is turned off. And I think you shouldn't watch the temperature, but simply touch it with your hand and feel if it is in room temperature or not. And it would be very helpful if you examine the phone's warmth sometime after the green light is on -- one hour, for example -- to be sure that the phone had enough time to cool down. Thank you very much!

My HTC 10's charging time looks normal, on par with what you see and hear from other consumers and reviewers : it took 1:33 hr to reach 100% from 10%.

Heating during charging

Hi. I am using the bundled moto turbo charger with my phone and have noticed that the phone sides and back get hot mid-charge when charging and cools down when the battery is about 80% full. Is this a problem with my phone/charger or does it happen with you guys also.
Its cause of the Turbo charger
That's absolutely normal. Don't worry.
Yup happens to mine too. Heats up quite a bit and then cools down after a while
Clean your charging jack once with hot gun with paste.
Sent from my E10i using XDA Free mobile app
No need to be worried then as its common for everyone. Thanks.
It's completely normal, phones from ~2-3 years ago (before quick charging) didnt have this problem because they didnt have to dissipate the heat generated by forcing 15 (moto Z) to 25 (moto X) watts into the phone. Phones pre-quick charging only took in ~5-10 watts which is much easier for a phone to handle, although its also much slower. If you dont need to quick charge I would recommend using a normal power brick which will charge it slower, but also generate less heat. Some people think the heat can cause the battery to lose capacity quicker, while manufacturers say it doesnt. Honestly I dont know which is true so I cant say. I personally so far have charged over night on usb (~2.5 watts) and its done charging my phone and my moto mod by morning from <30% to 100%.

No need to worry, that's completely normal. The phone turbo charges until it hits the 80% mark, then the turbo stops and until 100% it charges normally, like any other phone, so it doesn't get hot. During the turbo charge it's normal that the phone heats, as it uses more power to charge faster, and from 80 to 100%, it begins to cool down, because it uses less power to complete the charge.
Normal
compared with x style
z play is nothing:laugh:
A potential work around
I realized that if you remove the back cover (style mod) while charging and keep the phone a little raised from the surface the extreme heat is not experienced.
You could try and confirm.

Heating when supercharging mate 20

Hi guys. I'm using this mate 20 more than a month now, and it's great. I haven't got any problems, but every time when supercharging it, the phone heats up itself. I don't know really if it's some kind of problem or normal reaction. Charging with the charger in the box. The phone is not in use when charged. Any advice is helpful. Thanks in advance

When u charging leave phone be .. don't do anything with it .. heavy !
If it supports Quick charging or SuperCharge, your phone may heat up during charging, due to the increased voltage. In order to reduce heat when charging, do the following:
•Avoid using your phone when charging. Using your phone at this time may increase its temperature.
•Charge your phone in a place where heat can easily dissipate (such as on a desk). Avoid charging in places where heat does not easily dissipate (such as on a bed).
•Power off your phone before charging it. Back up your data regularly and update your phone to the latest version available.
•Use a Huawei standard charger to charge your phone.
yes it heats up considerably when supercharging 1st 50%
also when playing pubg with performance mode on even off
so dont do both
