Hi there,
I've been using DHD for more than 2 months, and I have problem (or feature, depends what month it is
Where I live we have air temperatures around 37°C right now.
When I normally use my DHD, it runs with battery temp at around 31°C, sometimes a bit more. But, If I put it on a windscreen inside my car, it overheats in few minutes reching more than 45°C which is overheting limit. All this means that I can't use my DHD for navigation, or for Blackboxing (DailyRoadrs Voyager, Autoguard).
I drive myy car daily for more than 200 kilometers, and I find my self in very odd situations daily, and if I have to prove my innocence having my drive filmed can help me a lot. Thats the reason I would like to use this blackboxing programs daily.
I was thinking to undervolt my DHD or set lower CPU freq.
Does any body have similar problem or maybe an answer.
Thank you for your reply.
Well if your dhd is in the direct sunlight inside your car it's normal that it's that hot and there is nothing you can do about that.
To lower the battery drain, and as a result the battery temperature, you can lower the screen brightness, or UC/UV your cpu. Those are the main factors of the battery drain.
Furthermore you can turn off the data connection while driving because it needs way more battery when you're driving

Hi Guys,
I have been playing Samurai Vs Zombies for some days now and I notice that when I play the game without the charger connected, the phone does get warm but not super hot.
When I connect my charger to charge while playing, for sometime there is no issue and then phones back becomes super hot and the battery indicator ,which is supposed to just give out red indicating charging, will start blinking red greed red green in that order repeatedly...
Does anyone else experience this and why is this?? What does the lights blinking mean???
Does it mean that the phone is overheated???
It means the battery has overheated and it will not charge until it cools down. This has been my top complaint, as it makes HOX unusable for car navigation, car recording or longer gaming (it will just discharge and then die)
WTF!!!!
Then how the hell will we use it for anything while charging.... You open maps and turn on GPS that will also create a lot of heat... Car navigation is screwed up big time...
I think if this is the case the new base 2.05 will serve much better as people have reported that the phone is relatively cooler when compared to the current build..

actually there is a precoution for this by HTC. when your battery is below %20 the CPU clock will be limited to 1000Mhz. the heat comparison between the 1Ghz and 1.5Ghz is 72C and 85C (these are the values i found out after stressing the device in a really hot enviroment for half an hour).. so when the CPU heat is lower basicly the overall heat is also lower and the device will charge itself again..
the good news is you will never run out of battery, the bad news is it will not charge above %20 and something and mosty you will be using your device at 1Ghz CPU speed.. but hopefully this can be solved with a software update (maybe limiting the current or the CPU clocks while charging)
i think the battery choice by HTC was a complete mistake (the one and only mistake the One X has).. it is not producing 5A but or anything, just an average battery but gets hot very very easily without any valid reason.. besides the unibody design is keeping the heat inside of the device.. i wish one day we will be able to replace it with an bigger capacity and more heating-proof one..
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Nextbit Robin stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Can get hot if using Quick Charge and playing a game at the same time, with the hottest point being the back near the cloud logo. It's noticeably hot, but doesn't seem any more so than other phones.
Getting quite hot for me during general use. On occasion barely doing that much as well. I think the CPU could do with some custom kernel love to try some undervolting and governor tweaking to help.
I think it might have to do with the fingerprint sensor. Mine gets hot with screen time.
My Robin used to get hot but not much anymore with the newer updates.
Mine gets really hot when playing Pokémon go, but I think it's because of being a bad optimized app.
My Robin gets hot no matter what ROM I am using. I have tried stock, AOSPA, Lineage and Omni. I emailed Nextbit customer support about this issue when I first got my Robin (when they still did email support). I went through the battery tests they suggested (FCQ (*#*#6721#*#* on the stock ROM) and Ampere) and provided them with screenshots. They stated that the temps I was showing in the screenshots of the battery tests I performed were 'normal' for the device.
I have found that the Robin is really sensitive to the temperature of the environment that it is in. On hot days, under mild use, the device gets very hot (like battery temps around 110-116 F).
At this point, it is what it is. I think that the excessive heat is a combination of a processor that is known to run a bit hot, combined with the materials that the phone is made of.
I had it to film a concert (sound is ruined on any videos, pictures ok..ish) But the thing, it was incredible hot, i had to stop using it during the concert and it felt like it burned a hole in my pocket for a bit after i turned it off, and it also gets reallly hot around the fingerprint sensor, and the display itself was like a pocket warmer.
Might been cause i used a Thick and robost phone case, cause i am afraid i break it anytime i put in my pocket....
Send it back to amazon and got my money back now. (Bought it just when it dropped to 100$, now its gone from amazon.de.. lol)
I use mine as a coffee maker
Hey im not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. But I live in texas and work in a garage in which temperatures consistently reach 100 + degrees. I know extreme temperatures are bad for electronics especially batteries. I was wondering if bringing my phone to work with me where it sits in that kind of heat all day could be damaging to my phones battery or internal components.
No.
The Battery itself gets up to 48°C under heavy usage.
So yeah, because it's really hot outside the phone doesn't have much thermal reserve, meaning it will throttle down instantly. But as long as you're not using your phone to play games benchmark stuff you probably won't have much problems.
I've used mine in Houston under the direct Sunlight in the early afternoon it was something about 35°C Outside and the phone was above 45°C Feeling really really hot. But the Battery should be safe up to 50°C or 60°C

Alright thanks that makes me feel a bit better.
when using wifi/4g in my house, i watched video, browsed fb and even shared internet and all. below i'll give my observations:
in wifi:
watching video, fb and browsing, whatsappin: the phone get very very slightly warm like not warm just the bit different from the phones usual temp like it hovers around 33-34.
when gaming in wifi it goes arounf 36-39 (NOVA 3) battery never crossed 31..
4g in my house, battery arounf 32-33, temperature around 37-39 for all.
but when i step out of my house, like when i'm operating my mobile in train/bus and the ambient temperature varies from say 28-32, my phone gets considerably hot and today, i was travelling in Bus and the ambient temp was around 35 and i was just browsing , watching videos and fb, my phone became hot like it even would have touched 43-46! i felt it hot to touch, is this norma(it's making me extremely paranoid)l!!??? if this is the case what happens if it's summer here, the phone would become blazingly hot, coz in summer ambient temp would be around 36-44 and all!!
Is this normala or am i unlucky for the second time ? I'm getting paranoid!
Just hit them back up

Are you serious.... When the ambient temp is 35 degree what else would you expect... Every phone on the planet will get that temperature. Can't believe you had a phone returned for this. You know the front of the device is black and absorbs light... When the sun hits your phone it's gonna heat up also. This phone is the best Android phone when it comes to thermal throttling.

With heavy multitasking, I hit 60+. Not regularly, but it has happened. The temperatures you're hitting are normal for me. I've had zero issues with the device. I have an OtterBox case, so I don't feel the heat as much. Honestly, I barely even notice heat at those temperatures. Considering the fact that the body of the device is aluminum, it's going to easily get hot to the touch.
Also, my One would almost always run between 45-70, and I've had that since launch. Used it heavily daily for years, and I still use it regularly as an app development device. No issues.
These devices have extremely powerful processors. They get hot. There's not an easy, efficient, way to cool a processor in a device like this yet, but they're designed for heavy use, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi first of all thanks for the reply.. I'll tell you what really made me paranoid.. Every evening I travel in bus and train and the ambient temperature would be from27-28_29.. I use 4g jio.. I just browsw/fb/insta.. In minutes my phone near the earpiece on the screen gets warmed up and it'd go around 40-41. Then I lock it it cools down fast but when I unlock it in seconds again starts warming up... My friend using same 4g in moto g4plus but his screen is cooler than mine... Please my one last doubt...
This is nothing lol. I live in Scotland so just now ambient temperature range from 5-13 °c and in my house 21-23°c and my Z3+ hits 60-70°c easily on heavy use. Benchmarked it one day and hit 90°c. The joys of the 810 chipset. Anyway away to upgrade to the OP3T so i should see and feel a massive difference.

Install a custom ROM and kernel and limit your background tasks. You may just have a bunch of things running using your CPU.
Thank you all!
Hey all thank you guys very much for replying to my thread! i'm really feeling okay instead of getting paranoid with my phone.. although i'd be very happy if you guys just clear me this last doubt!
today I was playing NOVA 3 connected to wifi in an ambient temperature of 25C, 5-10mins into gaming, CPU reaCHED A MAX OF 41c and at around 20 it maintaining at 43 but jumping sometimes 45.. this is gaming, but i get the same temperature just browsing in knda same ambient temp while I'm travelling. and also browsing in wifi/4g(fb,insta,chrome) in my house in ambient 25-27 gets the phone phone to 35-37... and the rest of the pat of the mobile is cool, even the back side is normal, only the small portion between the earpiece..
why is this happening? is this normal(it'd be great if you guys clear this)? if yup y so? and why phones like oneplus x and moto g4 etc have relatively less temp than OP3..
I know it'd be irritating to answer kinda same question again, but this would my help paranoiac freaking out for my mobile will go down..
thanks in advance for your replies

Because the Oneplus 3 is a lot faster, the Temps you are giving are n even close to hot... This has been one of the cooler phones so far.
Like others said, those temps are completely normal. Hell, I'd even expect them to be higher with your fairly high ambient temps.
About comparison with other phones - it all depends on internals and design. OP3 is made of aluminum so it'll dissipate more heat into the case - you'll feel it better. Other mentioned phones are plastic, so they'll contain more heat inside (you'll not feel so much heat, but the cpu may even run hotter).
And OP3 has cpu located just below the camera, so it's normal that it reaches top temps in that upper center part of the device.
P.S.: You talked about loads and ambient temps, but didn't mention screen brightness - that also plays a massive role in running temperatures.

for me mostly brightness bar will be in the middle... i never use it with high brightness..
Just get a case and maybe a screen protector so that you can't feel it getting hot.

hey ya !! sorry to disturb you again and again.. just a urios doubt.. what'd be the temperature of the phone or how hot can it gets, when u use 4g and fb app in ambient temperature of 29C and 33C..
mine got arounf 38-41 for the 1st cse and around 43 for the second case..
I know i'm being paranoid, ,but please, clearing tis would help stop worrying a bit
All the temps you posted are normal
About Moto g, it has much weaker SoC. A Ferrari's engine gets much more hotter than a toy car. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with Ferrari
4G /3G active usage can get hotter than gaming. That's also normal

Nothing much to worry here. Even I use Jio all the time. My OP3 get a lot hotter than any other device I use before. Reasons I knew are these.
1. OP3 rock with a high end processor. Say SD 820. Other phones you mentioned are consisting of relatively lower end processor. So internally they might heat up more that OP3 while doing high processor intensive tasks, but the plastic casing keep the heat inside, as OP3 is made up of Aluminum that being a metal heats up so quickly and and u feel more hotter in hands than the other ones and also it cools faster.
2. AFAIK the processor is situated just below the Camera bump. Hence it heats up very quickly at that area. Irrespective of outside temperature.
3.While using 4G network it's obvious that the phonehave to communicate with the network at a very high rate than 2G or WiFi. So it's clear that it will heat up. Also using high processor intensive application like Facebook gives the processor high stress and it heats up in no time.
Remedies
1. Use a case. That somewhat helps in insulating the heat.
2.If possible use WiFi rather than 4G network. That will considerably helps your battery life.
Conclusion.
Don't worry about the warmth of the phone.Its normal. Just enjoy using the phone.
Never Settle.
Cheers.
Clearly never experienced a SD810 device. I'm sure Snapdragon took there name too seriously with that chipset. I could hit HIGH 80°c in seconds playing basic games, using the camera and under heavy usage. Had to tailer my use around my Z3+ but now I have the 3T I can do what I want and it never goes past 50°c so far.
