Wow, it gets HOT!

Anyone else noticed their Desire getting extremely hot? Noticed it when connected through Tmob UK HSDPA - haven't noticed at any other time but then I have only had the Desire a couple of days and have used it mainly on WiFi.
I noticed the bottom of the handset was getting VERY warm, as was the screen! Turned off sharpish and it's been alright since but then I haven't been on HSDPA again, only WiFi.

i thought it was just mine, also gets quite hot during charging as well.

mine too
hi, mine is very warm too, not only during charging. Battery gets hot after about hour, using wifi, installing, etc..

not just me then, that's a relief. Come to think of it I had just installed a few apps. Wondering if one of those could have caused it. It really was uncomfortable to hold and quite worrying!
Considering a hard reset just in case.

Got my desire yesterday...and I've been using it non stop...and its hotttt!!!

Hmm, I have been using it all day long as well ... but on Wi-Fi ... also played some games for couple of hours.
No hot .... Slightly warm yes, but un-notice-able.
I turned off almost everything:
- No auto-update
- Bluetooth OFF
- Animation off
- Always on off
- GPS off
Am I lucky?

My Battery is (apparently) running at 40.7C, and its not even warm to touch, God knows what yours may be at!

The cause may be the HSDPA, i remember when my S730 was getting really warm when connected through HSDPA, but when 3g or wifi was connected.

I dont think it will get too hot on wifi .. seemed to be just when I was on hsdpa. Not been on hsdpa since home tonight, only wifi and its not noticeably warm tonight.
Will see what happens tomorrow I guess. Maybe I should get a temp monitor ready!

Mine never gets hot over wifi, i've been using wifi only for about 10 days as i used my 1 GIG data bundle. It does get bit warm while charging and as soon as it charge to 100% then its cool as ice.

Welcome to smartphones . They all get hot these days, especially after an intense data session.

Obviously wern't as smart as your desire..... All my HTC's with big processors and integrated GPU's have got hot after long sessions. I'd say that the 200mhz processor wouldn't get very hot........... compared to a 1ghz processor.......

mine got really hot today, only noticed it after taking it out of the table, it then switched itself off, I actually thought phone went kaputs!
removed battery and left it for a few minutes to cool down and after switched it on no problems!

No.
HSDPA = 7.2Mbit/s
3G = 3.6Mbit/s

Doesn't get even luke warm for me under any usage scenario... around 30c is max I've yet seen under videoing loads with WiFi and a bunch of other things running. Had this for 2 weeks now.

Was just pointing out that I've used smartphones for some time, not necessarily making a direct comparison. Same processor as the HD2 though and that never reached the blistering temp my Desire seemed to reach yesterday.
Odd, not done it since, even on hsdpa so perhaps it was a hungry app after all!

Mine getting hot everyime I use 3G data connection. even 10-15 mins and the back will be hot, getting hotter with further use.....
Normal our faulty set

I think it's quite normal they get hot. Also depends on how you use the device (what kind of connection etc) and how good the signal is.
If you charge your device at the same time you use a heavy data connection and/or playing a game I guess the battery will get quite warm!

Phone gets very HOT

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for a cupple of months now and I noticed that it get so ****ing HOT. I can feel that it burns a little bit in my pocket when the phone is there. The strange thing is that it gets this hot only when I am not connected to wifi or are at a place where the 3g connextion isn't that good, on the buss for example. So what do you guys think that I shuld do? Can I even return it now?
Thanks for answers

Are you going to try and return it?

Also could be the kernel i have the same problem though

The only time I have noticed my phone getting very hot is when I stream music or use Wifi-tether.

Mine gets very hot only when I'm downloading torrents and don't have a wifi connection.

What baseband are you on? Was trying to sort out my phones heat and accompanying drain for ages! Exactly the same symptoms (only when using 3g, particularly with poor signal.) . Turns out my issue was baseband. Switched from kk6 to kl1 and so much better. Might be worth experimenting.

Also it would only get hot like that is data connection is consistently working. You might want to also check if there are apps that are constantly connecting in the background that you don't really need.

Well yes I have apps that requires data connection like twitter but I think a Smart phone like Galaxy Nexus should be able to handle that without getting super hot.

I have a cdma galaxy nexus and my phone gets really hot also but i notice when my phone gets hot it is when their is crappy signal or low 3g signal

My old one used to do that as well and it was a radio hardware issue. Received a replacement and all is well. I was within the 1 year warranty.

It was actually my 2nd replacement. My first issue was with the phone bootlooping (not related to ROMs) after about 3 months after purchase (only rooted). It was that replacement when the radios sucked. Phone was always hot and it ate through a full charge in about 4 hours. The phone was going into a deep sleep when inactive (verified with CPUSpy) and the Phone was eating the wakelock (BetterBatteryStats) as it kept looking for a signal. Didn't matter which radios I used (4.0.2 or 4.0.4) the results were the same.
Turned that phone in stating just the phone was eating the battery looking for a signal (battery showed red for phone signal) and they sent another replacement. This one is ok (running Gummy 1.0.1 with 4.0.4 radios).

I can vouch for this. I usually have my wifi on at work and at home with no heat issues at all. But the last two nights I was at chili's which had no wifi so I turned my 3g on and within 10 mins of super slow browsing my phone was getting ridiculously hot. I read on another thread that if the 3g signal is low or weak then it will continuously ping the server which causes something inside to heat up very quickly whether its the radio or cpu. This is definitely an issue but I'm not sure if its fixable with a new kernel or radio flash.

Hello.
For several days I have exactly the same problem.
Since I install AOKP milestone 5 and franco.kernel milestone 3, my phone started strongly hot.
Temperatures can reach 66 degrees, and the rear cover gets really hot.
Is it a hardware defect or problem is in the settings or Rom/kernel?

On 4th OneX should I give up and get an S3

I really like 95% of this phone but I can't get one with no major issues. These are the things that are making me considering switching to an S3
- battery life still isn't great on the latest update. S3 should be much better
- inconsistent wifi - I don't have the hardware problem on this one (previous ones have) but staying in the same spot, I still a signal which fluctuates alot, where other devices recieve a consistent strong signal
- Chrome browser - really like this most of the time but I frequently just get a blank white screen and no amount of reloading works - it affects any website and all open tabs.
- overheating..especially when on charge (playing games) it flashes red/green or even just browsing (on low brightness) it gets very warm to touch (high 40's degrees C shown on Batter Monitor Widget)
I'm on stock BTW and am not a root-er so I'm not considering other ROMs. Had an S2 previously, liked it but not too keen the gingerbread look which the S3 seems to have stuck with on their ICS touchwizz) Any advice appreciated.

The S3s wifi is awful I have both. The S3 also gets very warm when playing games and charging. The issue with chrome is the app not the phone. Mine does it on the s3. The battery life would be better of you had more than one battery. As far as a single charge goes they are about the same.

Chrome is like this because it's beta man. It's not because of the phone. I have this problem too.
Use Opera, it's perfect and damn fast.

Fair enough on the Chrome thing. I thought the s3 battery is meant to be a fair bit longer lasting (it's more powerful for starters). Guess these phones will run hot, just didn't expect it to stop charging as it's overheating when just browsing etc.
Which of the two handsets do you prefer?

I prefer the one x myself & I know you can mod it but I was basing this as if it was stock no mods. & the s3 lasts a bit longer but not a major difference. I was plugging them in the same time.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have both s3 and hox. I use the hox over s3. The pros far outweigh the cons. Especially if you dont intend to root and use custom roms. Stock cheezwiz on sgs3 is just pathetic. Sense is miles ahead and with the latest update it rocks. Stay with the hox.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have the htx one x my colleague has the s3 we don't notice any significant difference in the battery life. The HTC does not last playing sonic for the tigra. Also if wifi is intermittent the battery drains fast.
I get a day easily under normal use though.

Stop worrying about these chidlren toys .. Buy a note 2 when it comes out...

I think the One X is better with the new base(2.17), and with Jelly Bean it's gonna be awesome, so don't get an S3!

I'm on my 3rd hox now, WiFi is really bad have to be in the same room as router, not acceptable if you ask me.
Yes this is a great phone but I can't keep hanging around for getting a phone works as it should.

Because he has an HOX so of course he's entitled to be here. And enough with defending HTC and bashing the disgruntled customers. They're entitled to voice their dissatisfaction. Just because you dont have to change many times to get a defect free handset doesnt mean you can rely on that to claim that HTC has done a good job w the manufacturing process. You're HTC's customers, not their employees. NO need to get worked up when somebody complains about a real issue.

Withe the last 2.17 released no WiFi issue at all if you already on this release and still have this problem you should check your router.
In other hand don't believe that the S3 is better than the one X , the first thing you gonna miss is the one X brilliant display.

Make sure it's not a WiFi antenna disconnection, make sure that your router is not on a channel where there's loads of interference, make sure that your phone is on 2.17.

1. S3 isn't, AMOLED EATS battery compared to S-LCD2. Unless you get another battery, in which case you'll blow the One X away.
2. Make sure there isn't any interference on your router, and make sure that the fluctuations are not affecting actual use of WiFi.
3. Chrome does this for everything.
4. Overheating will happen if you charge while playing games. Don't do it on these phones unless you really want to destroy it early from overheating. If you're going to charge it, leave it alone and stick with light use. Undervolting can also help with these issues, but if you go too far you will cause the phone to randomly go into bootloops that require a power button hold down to fix, or having the phone fall into a sleep of death.
WiFi signal fluctuations may also just be the phone's signal indicator actually being more representative of true signal. The only way to really know is to look at something like WiFi Analyzer and compare the dBm.

It's the same problem I've had with all three phones, when I squeeze the top right of the phone the reception goes full, but the first few weeks of using the phone the WiFi is perfect.
I'm pretty gutted that I'm movin on because I really like this phone, I'm not the biggest fan of Samsung but its the only other equivalent at the moment, I've had the hox from day 1 and its been great while the WiFi works, that's the only reason I'm changing, other wise I'd be HTC all the way

Phone heating to 130°+

I'm having a huge problem with my S3 heating up at the bottom of the phone, right around the sim card slot. I've tried CM10.1 and other similar ROMs and TW ROMs and I'm still getting this problem. My phone hasn't been through any trauma at all and this just happened from one day to another and I find that extremely strange.
Also kind of worried about things melting down on the inside, even tho I know it might not happen.
Can anyone out there help or point me to the right direction.

Are you using your phone and charging it constantly while this occurs? If it is happening while dormant on all roms, might be a specific app or the phone itself is giving up? Not too sure to be honest without more info.

130 degrees?! Where are you getting this info from? I can't even TOUCH mine when it hits 105 and it has an Incipio case on it! At 130 I'd be worried about the battery exploding to be honest.
Have you tried running an "empty" ROM on it? Just a basic ROM with nothing installed?

Crazy part is that it's not the battery that's getting hot. Its that plastic cover right under where the SD card and sim sit. I used a friends infrared thermometer and the highest is 132 but it averages 120-125. And today I used a "empty" ROM and just ran the browser for instagram and some Facebook, about 15 minutes in it got extremely hot. Also tried TW ROM "empty"

Sounds like a phone on the way out... Although I've never used an infrared thermometer on my phone I'm sure its not heating up to those crazy temperatures. When I use it heavily it gets warm but doesn't really ever get too hot unless I turn the screen brightness all the way up, then the screen gets hot.
I know of the area that you're speaking of - I'd consider replacing the device.

seems like your problem is much worse. return your phone back to stock and tell samsung to give you a new one. this is very dangerous. especially if it sits next to your leg all day!

I've run CM10.1 RC4,5, and Many Nightlies, as well as Stock Deodexed and whatnot, with many different kernels (Ktoonz, Stock CM, etc), and I have an Otterbox Defender (And tonight will be an Otterbox Armor). I live in Utah, so we get some fairly warm temperatures and whatnot. My phone never heats up above about 50-60 degrees. I mean i never expose it to heat or sunlight that much, but I cant see a phone getting 130 degrees.

Piss poor performance only on Verizon model?!

Just curious what other Verizon owners are experiencing. I love this phone and am keeping it, warts and all. But from other forums I'm getting the feeling that the Verizon model has a lot more issues than other models. My main gripe is I'm getting a total freeze of my phone, nothing happens on screen and button taps do nothing at all, this lasts for about a minute then the phone comes back, but everything runs very very slowly, then eventually it will run normally again. I'm also seeing a ton of lag, specifically something will run or animate very slowly and stutters, like for example if I close an app the animation of it shrinking can sometimes be fast and smooth, other times it's slow and stutters to the point where you can almost count the frames. My wife has a Note 7 as well and she had one episode where she was using WhatsApp, her phone completely froze on her and then after a minute or so just rebooted.
I've also had issues with wifi calling dropping calls left and right. I've had issues with the phone not wanting to switch from a weak crappy wifi signal to cellular. GPS was dropping a lot initially, but I haven't seen that issue lately. Battery life overall hasn't been stellar, but I hope that just means it is still breaking in.

I'm on Verizon and experiencing the same crap.. love this phone as well. I have disabled all the bloatware too

i have experienced the same i am not sure what gives but i hope an optimization patch is released for it soon.

Totally agree. I got the Moto Z about 3 weeks before Note launch and that phone is fast. I figured the Note would be just as fast. Nope. The Moto is very fast to unlock with fingerprint. Note has some delay and goes to lock screen then open. Bit hokey if you ask me. I get a lot of lag doing normal things. Was using Nova, thought that might be it so went back to samsungs launcher. Kinda helped. Just does not have the zip I thought it would. Might forgo the s pen and swap with my wife. Hopefully N will help, but we all know VZW will f that up too.

Mine hasn't experienced any of this. Maybe try a full factory reset from recovery?
Mine unlocks instantly with fingerprint. Iris scanner is OK as well.

Good lock is better and faster imo. I couldn't find it on galacy apps but worked just fine from here.

Moto z is tempting, so thin and a great looking phone.

I just have to say. GTFO with your magical phone. 9 hours SOT. Give me a break.
I can't comment on poor performance on the Verizon Note vs others because I haven't use the others. I will say, some performance is poor.
Thank goodness we have root tho. Maybe we can fix some stuff the Big Red dictator screwed up.

Lol so how do we figure out screen on time then because according to you if i go into my battery settings and it shows screen on 9 hours that isnt possible

My phone is running buttery smooth! Slightly over 2 days battery life! No complaints.
For those with the issues, try a factory reset and dont disable anything. Run the phone and see if it still happens. If so then you have gotten bad phones.

I'm just now reading about some of these issues people are having. I've got a pre order phone. Delivered on the 19th. It's been a dream from day 1. Better than my note 5 by far. My 5 was dropping calls and battery dying in a day. Haven't dropped a call nor run out of battery. My s6 edge plus was horrible. Only had it for a day. This looked similar so I was a bit nervous. Other than it having an issue with either the gear app our the bluetooth sending ringtone to my gear s2 on all calls regardless of ringer settings I've got zero complaints.

I haven't had any of these issues on my Note 7. I have had it one week now. Battery life is decent, but I don't know what the stats look like since I am always near a charger. I took the ota halfway through the week and it didn't seem to affect anything one way or the other.
