Just how hot does it get? And how long does the battery last? With constant use and without?
How's anyone supposed to help you without any information?
We all suffer from crappy battery life some worse than others. It all depends on how you use the phone some days I'm lucky to get 3hours from a full charge (usually when the kids are shouting at me) but others if I hardly touch it it'll last 2 days at least.

I know..about wildfire's crappy battery life...the main problem is over heating...Ive heard that overclocking gives out over heating...but in my case I didn't overclocked it anytime...it overheats on using internet connection..like browsing downloading etc...I hardly surf 30min and my cell start heating..!! Is their any battery voltage problem on my device..?

Iam using cynogenmod 7.0.3..
528mhz
Browsing- 30 to 60min at max
Downloading time - 20-30min
Now during these two times my device starts heating...specially during downloading(apps,songs etc)...
sent via HTC wildfire cyno7magma using xda app.

Normal running temperature is between 25-35 degrees, obviously when downloading, playing music etc it will get hotter, there's other things that can affect temperature too though such as outside temperature if its hot outside the temp can shoot up pretty fast when using the phone with a heavy load.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that HTC said the phone could handle 60 degrees Max and my guess is your hitting around 40-45 degrees (that seems about the norm from what I've been reading from other users) there's apps in the market to measure temperature and I'm pretty sure the battery monitor in spare parts tells you the battery temp.
If your getting anymore than 45 degrees I'd say there maybe something slightly wrong but if not don't worry about it, just give the phone 10 minutes to cool down everytime it gets warm.
And may I ask is it plugged in charging while you use? because that will add to the temp too.

there's a free app called "elixir" which has a widget that you can adjust for tons of info (CPU, free space, RAM, wifi, tethering, ... everything basically) including battery temperature. You can check it out if you want.
When I tethered outside in the hot sun my battery got to about 42 degrees, I killed it then and cooled it, but as said before it should be able to take that kind of temperatures (mid/high 30's are no prob)

Playing a game on HTC One

Hi guys, I want to buy the HTC One and I am a big gaming fan. My question is, how much batterylife takes it to play for example Shadowgun for one hour on this device?
Thanks for any answer.

For me it takes about 3 hours and the battery is depleted ( playing a movie+reddit browsing).
:/
Though I'm on the pre-battery fix update (1.26.771.2)

I would say that one hour of ShadowGun takes between 20 and 30% of battery. I'm on 1.29 that has improved battery life, specially while the phone is on stand by.

Yesterday 25-30mins of shadowgun (where cpu is not faster than 1GHz) took 25% of battery. Wifi was on, screen brightness around 40%, GSM signal weak. So it seems that max is around 2,5h with no wifi/data and good reception.

Put it in airplane mode whilst gaming

Yep, heavy 3d games kill the battery, but the trade off is that games look AMAZING on this phone.

yes always do this when gaming or watching movies ,if your in a poor signal area it eats the battery looking for strong signals

One is fantasy, one is reality.

Lol from my experience you can't play anywhere near 1 hour of shadowgun till the battery is completely dead

Not true. Playing shadowgun or dark meadow uses more battery than the charger can provide. You should get a couple hours or so though

a COUPLE of HOURS? damn, I really must have got a faulty device... 10 mins of dark meadow and boom 20% of battery is gone on my phone. Not joking, I even made a thread about it and I can get just barely around 3 hours of screen time from a full charge, and this is with juicedefender ultimate on. HTC One X has a great battery on stand by but if you actually USE the phone and by that I mean just put the screen on its worse than horrible

Couple hours is when plugged into charger. Without is less but I havent tested it.

At this moment I have the SGS2 and the game uses 25% per hour playing Shadowgun (no joke). The phone does not get warm at all.
Modern Combat 3 takes about 50 to 60% of my battery per hour. And it heats up. Why does the One X uses so much battery on Shadowgun? Anyone?

Shadowdun is enhanced for Tegra 3 devices, so extra effects and and overall better looking game, all 4 cores are being used vs the dual core GS2.

NO YOU CAN'T
if you use 5V charger your phone overheats after 10-15 minutes.
if you use 3V charger (usb output from notebook) your phone will use more power than charger can supply and will discharge - however much more slowly comparing to just being on battery.
OS - 1.28 .

Hi all,
My phone is so hot! Over 50C Battery temperature. I can hardly hold it...
Am I the only one?

Actually 50c is around the point where the heat triggers a pain response.
As for the heat no you're not the only one, if you are rooted you can use core control to turn off cores to lower heat.
If you're not rooted or unlocked then take it back it is an issue.

My phone too gets hot and so does my mates HOX. I can hit temps up too 54 even 59. Common issue so they say

My hox got to 57 on 1.29... Now on the new test firmware it will just hit 50, most times its around 45 on tegra games... Wait it out. The temperatures aren't right but they'll be fixed soon.

Hi all, not sure where you're getting the actual degree values from or I'd share.
Anyhow, my HOX used to get so friggin hot I thought it would combust, and that was just from normal use for maybe 30 minutes tops. That was all stock, and with a couple ROMs I tried before.
However, now it never gets even slightly warm... yesterday I used it nearly 8 hrs straight, not even slightly warm. I'm on eXoDiZeD ROM, it's included stock kernel, and using No-Frills CPU with max 1.5GHz and min 102MHz, ondemand.
I see absolutely no performance loss, but get easily 2-3x longer battery life, and amazingly no heat at all, not even screen gets warm like it used to. Just my two cents for the pot.

My hox is relly coold..
But have no program to check the temp on it
Maby you can tell me some?

Mine gets up to 45 max.. Did never notice higher temperatures

Battery widget by Elvison shows temp
The highest I have seen is 42 degrees running 1.28

When quoting temps you should state whether its battery or CPU. The latter can and will be hotter

My One X actually got so hot that it fried my processor. HTC replaced it for me. I had a Malaysian One X and they replaced it with a European One X. This one still gets hot but nowhere near as hot as my old one. I would have to put my old one down because I couldn't stand to hold it any longer especially because that metal ring around the camera would burn me.

HOX Overheating after 5 mins of use ?

Hello XDA ! I have an HTC One X. I have been using it and now I started to track my Battery temperatures. I am running ARHD 7.1.0 Custom Rom and my battery temps in my house in IDLE are about 26-30 Degrees. When I start using it inside afer about 5-10 mins of playing Dead Trigger or Real Racing 2 the temps are about 45-47 and after 30-40 mins they are about 50 degrees and I dont think this is normal for a battery. The phone becomes untouchabe at the top. Today I was just browsing the web outside (where its really hot - about 38-40 degrees) and after 5 mins the battery was 56 degrees JUST FROM BROWSING ! I wanted to ask if this is normal with every HOX and is there any fix. Sorry for my bad english

HTC says it's normal for your phone to reach such temperatures -_-. But the 2.05 base leak has temperature fixes. My hox doesn't get that hot as often as it used to after I installed Arhd 7.1.0
And yes my phone also got that hot just by browsing internet.
Sent from my HTC One X

So if I continue using the phone after the battery is over 45 degrees I won't damage it ? I always stop doing everything if the temp goes over 45. And what are your temperatures ?

Yeah nothing should happen. Mine is around 40C
Sent from my HTC One X

Mine also gets quite hot. Next time it does I will take a reading and post back.

@Op,
Use it not abuse it.
Why don't you tell your experience to the developer of the custom rom rather then opening a new thread?
Like this you won't get an answer, a waist of space.

@laurentius26
I didn't think he was talking about the ROM, its a HOX problem.
Lot of people are facing it and 2.05 base seems to have fixed it for most of them. Mine still heats up while browsing once in a while but its much MUCH lesser than before.
@OP
Try another rom if you think ARHD is the problem. Imo the rom isn't the problem.

Battery should be rated for 60c should be kept under that.
CPU has a thermal cut out at 99c

Lucky you are to not have had your hox heat up. Mines reached points where I couldn't charge it while browsing on edge because the battery was overheated. The new base however my phone barely heats up. But then my usage has changed compared to when I was on 1.29

My Hox (old one... Currently at repair center) gets 47c outside in the top of screen and camera (yes I use a laser temperature meter), battery at 53, and CPU at 94c... After 15/20 minutes of playing tegra games, or just stressing CPU for 10 min using stability test.

Currently I have played Shadowgun THD for a couple of minutes and now I'm using Xda premium and also browsing the Internet. My cpu didn't go above the 45°c The higher temperature is only because of the game, on regular use my device temperature stays constant.

you`re wrong
its not cpu temp for sure its bat temp for cpu temp use sytem tools and go cpu
pic.1 look at current widget for batt. temp.
pic.2 look cpu temp.

I almost burn mine out the other day... It even turned itself off... (I fell asleep whilst playing Max Payne with the phone on charge). I would say it got to about 70oC! THANK GOD FOR AUTO SWITCH OFF ON TEGRA 3

@Darkony, yep you're right indeed.
The CPU temperature goes up and down from 40 till 70 degrees on my device depending
on uses (it reaches 70 degrees but cools down very quickly as well).
The battery temperature reaches 47 degrees, (4 runs with StabilityTest app).

after two months of owning the HOX and now running the leaked the 2.05
it never overheats or blinks or whatever
it does get a little hot during non stop heavy gaming but thats it
i can even play on the charger

My big concern is the 47c in the top of screen :/ really hot you cant touch or answer a call

[Q] Note 2 Overheating Problem

Hello XDA,
I have just bought Galaxy Note 2 (using the stock rom 4.1.2), on second day of use I have installed "Need for Speed Most Wanted". After playing about 15 minutes the upper part of Note 2 (around of the camera) started to heat up then I have stopped the app so on that it have returned to normal heat. I am so confused, do you suggest me to bring it back to store? or it is normal? have you ever had overheating on your Note 2 before?
(The mobile data was on, I was not running any apps on background, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi was off, brightness was full)
Thanks in advance!

When im playing nfs ..I also experience this one.. I guess it is normal..as long as the heat is tolerable and not too much

Thats where the exynos processor is!
It's a quad core'd beast phone without any external fans to cool off the heat. It would naturally get hot when playing GPU intensive games such as NFS.
In short its normal for it to get heated that much and all should be well.
Cheers!

And also lower your brightness.. it eats alot of battery considering nfs is also a power hog.. they will make your phone really hot

Anytime

Yeah don't worry about it. Phones ALWAYS get warm when doing processor intensive things. The problem is that phones are getting thinner and thinner, and that means less and less room for the components to breathe! While it's fine and dandy that it's getting warm, it should never get too hot to handle. Otherwise, it's OK .

similar overheating problem
hey guys, i have a similar heating problem with my note 2 but it occurred after i rooted my phone with the toolkit. the overheating happens while just using the internet browser. has anyone had this problem after root?
thanks in advance.

I experienced the same last night when I played it from the external SD Card, not sure if it was the same when it was in the local sd..

I experience heating also while playing games like NFS, Osmos HD etc. I monitored the cpu temperature and I encountered temps from 55-60C so far. In stress tests I see around 75-80C. I think is kinda hot.

No, only the hind part around the camera lens. The front and/or upper (or even whole) part around the screen is normal. Surprisingly other 3D intensive games like Beach Buggy Blitz and Blood and Glory do not get that hot like when playing with Where is Perry? game, which is a 2D game, but I guess it is more CPU intensive.

These are not problems, the heat has to go somewhere. The cpu operates safely even at temperatures above 80.
If your phone suddenly gets hot for no reason, your cpu is spiking probably because an app didn't release its lock on a high cpu frequency. Kill the rogue app.

Do you have a source for showing the ideal temps for the cpu chip? I must confirm that 65C is normal under heavy load.
