This device is Hot - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

This device runs so hot. When I'm playing mine craft or on youtube this phone gets dangerously hot.
How how hot does your xperia ion get?
Is there a limit on how hot it should?
Does heat take a toll on battery life?

According to an app I have, "Battery Widget" my battery has got to 114°, it was 110 outside at the time. Its at 95 right now.

Mine is only at 25°C which should be around 80°C right now. Max I've seen on my ion is ~35°C(95°F). I'm using Battery Widget as well.

I don't have a battery app, so I can't know exactly how hot it gets, but it definitely gets way too hot! If streaming music over Bluetooth, this thing gets crazy hot! Literally HAVE to take it out of my pocket!

Phone getting hot

I have noticed that my phone grts VERY hot when watching a youtube video on 4G. Also playing games, and just generally using 4G makes it very hot. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Never noticed much of a temperature increase on my phone.
I can understand it heating up like a laptop when under heavy load. do you have an app that tells you the battery temperature ?

This happens to me but playing games not so much video streaming... I have battery indicator, drop the notification bar down and battery temp is about 40oc (Aussie metric) so not sure what that is in Fahrenheit.

Yeah my phone also gets hot occasion, only "very hot" when I'm charging it and it's on my bed or under my blanket. I figure that's due to it not being able to air out properly

i think it is normal for the phone to heat up when multi tasking . my phone gets hot too , it even scares me a little lol.
Batteries heat up...it's normal.

Lets put it this way..
I stopped my car once because I thought my leg was on fire, I jumped out of the car as if I was burning..
Through heavy jeans..
It was my phone (older one)
We are holding high powered devices wrapped in plastic and metal (mostly plastic)
More powerful than many older laptops, WITHOUT any cooling devices..
its normal and will shut down if it get too hot

i need help reading battery graph

So i would like to learn how to read my battery graph also this is the rom im running atm...
Also my question is how do i fix this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
fix what?
It looks like your battery took a steep dive. The graph shows at what rate your battery discharges. Since youre on ics, battery life isnt going to be phenomenal. What are you trying to fix?

Actually it was having freaking awesome battery life til like two days ago so i just wanted to know why it took that steep dive, and how do i prevent it is wat i ment by "fix it" thanks

Why is this happening to me? Screen issue epic 4g

What can cause my screen to use 80+% of my battery I'm running aokp milestone 6 w/ nyan kernel on my epic 4g
Can anyone please help
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
In 32 minutes, your screen has been on 30 minutes of that time, hence the high percentage... Nothing looks odd about that. If you think it is killing your battery, you should probably look elsewhere like not going to deep sleep, or constant syncing. Need to see better battery stats or cpu spy... If that is the concern.

Well, from your pics, it seems that your screen was on for 30 of the 32 minutes that your phone was on battery. Takes a lot of power to light up a display. Most folks can get by with a days worth of battery with 3-5 hours of screen on time. Some do better, some do worse.

I just don't think you realise how much of a battery eater our screens are... that is perfectly normal and the way it should be....

It just seems strange to me but if you guys say its normal then it probably is

This is 11 minutes of screen on with crappie reception.

How hot can cpu be without being unstable?

I am using setcpu to put variety of profiles and one of them is cooling profile. Which basically is underclocking so cpu cools down a little bit, so my cpu doesn't have any trouble. Right now I have my cpu temperature set to 73c, but I wanna know how hot can gnex cpu can get without causing any trouble thanks!

110 the phone will shut down. I would set the limit at 80 personally. Though I've never seen over 62, rarely higher than mid 50s.

80s? That sounds a lot to me but who am I to judge? lol
Thanks so much
I agree 80 does sound a little hot, but keep in mind there's no cooling fan or anything and the components are enclosed in a plastic case + any case you may have.
I usually only see 60 when I'm doing something like running GPS in my car with no ac and the outside temp is already 105 Fahrenheit.

I play games from time to time and that gets pretty hot. Max at around 70 maybe? But this thing gets super hot when using while charging....

For most Processors 80c is really pushing the limit on tolerance. You generally don't wanna go higher than upper 50s low 60s.

so you're saying I should set out around 60, correct?

Temperature?

What sort of temperature are you guys seeing while playing games? Am getting 40c kinder hot to touch after while. Shame because battery life is just so good.

It should be fine, it doesn't get any not hot than any other device. You just feel it more because it's metal.
It's actually better for the device, because the heat is getting expelled. Unlike plastic phones where it stays inside of the device.

40c under load is great. You just feel it because aluminum is a good heatsink material.

Yeah mines about the same as yours between 35 and 45
It's ONLY hitting 40 & you are only feeling it because of the design intent. Think of the alloy body as a heat exchanger, just like the plate type used to indirectly transfer heat from boilers or steam generators to water for domestic or hydronic use. Just like in those applications, metal alloys are much better conductors than plastic composites (which is why insulation/insulators are made of ceramics or composite materials), so the transfer of the heat energy away from the device internals to the cooler ambient atmosphere is much more noticeable on the M8. Other devices are also generating as much heat, but they are relying on ported vents & copper heat tape to remove a much more limited amount of heat away from the device internals. You also notice it to a much lesser extent on those composite plastic devices because they are using insulative materials, so more of that heat energy byproduct remains inside the body for a longer period of time. The only time the plastic devices really have an advantage is in hot climates, when the device is being used in a windshield mount & even then, once the device heats up, it still takes longer to dissipate the accumulated heat load.
40 degrees Celsius is a testament to the laws of thermal dynamics & why you see the M8 dissipating more heat energy.
