I'm not sure if anyone has noticed it so far.. when charging the phone, and you do intensive WIFI/3G downloads (like updating apps from Play for example), the back of the phone at the camera area becomes really hot after awhile, and the LED indicator, which normally shows a always-on Orange light, will start to blink orange-green-orange-green...
After a day of experimenting, i think that the orange-green blinking is an indicator to tell us that the phone is running too hot, and needs to cool down before charging can continue..
anyone has similar experience?

I have beed using one x for last 2 days, charged it twice fully but it does not get too hot, a lill hot while charging but no bliking led as you said
*#*#4636#*#* > choose Battery Information
The temperature and status will be listed there. I'm guessing that it stops charging at 50c

it doesn't get that hot if you're not using the phone while charging, but try charging AND using the wifi/3G at the same time. within 10 minutes, my phone got pretty hot at the camera area.
I had a flashing led last night too

do you mean while charging or with normal use itself ?
All smartphones have this problem including SGS2 and Iphone 4s.
If you use max brightness + games for more than 10 mins it will get very warm no matter what's the brand or model you use.
The only treatement is to decrease brightness or downclock the CPU with SetCPU (temp profiles)

install battery indicator and check the how miuch the battery is heated, I have checked it quite a few times and it should within 30-32 C which is normal
dont find it getting heated with normal use, I am keeping the player on for many hours and calls etc, only when I charge it gets a bit warm but again not hot I would say

Not excactly but it became also hot for all when I charge
Orange green indicator will happen when you are charging the phone (orange) and when you have a notification (missed call, msg, downloaded app). Heating up happens naturally when you do work on your phone while charging. It will happen even if you do nothing while charging.
A Dutch website called Tweakers.net tested the temperature in comparison to other phones, and found it got hotter than other phones when used intensively. See attachment image to see what I mean.
What is says: "toestel" = device. "frontpage" means they let the browser display the frontpage of their website. Shadowgun is an intense 3D game from the market. "Shadowgun + lader" means playing Shadowgun while connected to the charger.
I only experience the high temperature when playing games on my phone for 5 mins onwards. Charging is fine. I think mine is working pretty fine considering I resides in Singapore where everyday is summer.

I forgot to mention they also say that this heat is felt through the entire body of the phone, as where on other handsets the heat is concentrated in one place.
It's perfectly normal dude!
It's the screen that gets hot and because the One X has a 4.7'' screen it's all over the phone

i never leave the screen over half the brightness so hope its just this
i'm starting to be concerned honestly, Desire/Nexus 1 are operating at their maximum thermal capacity and it used to get hot too, Desire HD has snapdaragon2 with very relaxed thermals and to be honest i don't like to have a hot rod in my hands, the DHD always feels pleasantly cold
the thermal image posted by DomCowell seems fine and normal when compared with other phones....i dont know

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.

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 .
My dear friends,
My brother has just bought One X but it has severe overheating when hold to the hands. It also retains charge for barely half the day! We checked but no update from Htc. Please help. Thanks.

What version you on at the mo? Latest I believe is 1.29
Root the phone and flash it with faux 002 beta 3. You'll put down 5 degrees minimum

If u use it a lot and such it will get hot, around 40-45.

Relax.
Battery life for the first two weeks will be appalling, but after two weeks it settles down. You should expect no mpre than 24 hours with average/moderate use though.
Plus for the first 3 or 4 charges, mine was also getting quite warm. What is happening to you sounds completely normal and should get better over time.
What software version is it? (Settings > about > software information)
How much screen on time does he get? (When almost flat: settings > power > battery use > screen)
What is he normally doing when it gets hot?
I noticed my phone was over heating (red/green flashing led) when using YouTube desktop page while charging. Then I turned of the 2d hardware acceleration in developer options (This is off as default) and it stopped. I also gained 30 minutes of screen time.
Also, when you say overheating, these things do get hot, that's normal, can you define overheating?
I use Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 (1.29.401.11) and my phone gets "very" hot after 5 minutes while playing Shadowgun THD.
Not only the backside of the phone, but also the touchscreen gets very hot, so that it doesn't feel comfortable to touch it for more than 3-4 seconds...
Hope this issue can be somehow fixed by new Tegra-Drivers or something else...

You do realise that ambient temperature across the world varies by over 60c? Your statement is meaningless for somebody who lives in northern Sweden or Egypt, for example.
I'm in the middle east our temp is 25c today I just gamed Sonic 4 episode 2 for one hour CPU ne er crossed 72c and batterry around 45c
.....by the way lots of apps in the background will increase temps during gaming
and remember firmware 1.29.401.11is the best in terms of temps, worst was 1.26
Wait for a week or two before you root. In case something is wrong it would be hard for you to return. By the time the hardware will settle down.
CPU temperature
I have some apps that see the battery temp. Wich app could you use to see the cpu temp??

if I let turned on only 2 cores, is that still enough power to play such graphic intense games like Shadowgun THD?
With angry birds it shouldn't be a problem, I guess.

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
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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.

I've become somewhat obsessed with the many battery issues. My phone runs just below the threshold ie. ~125F that you don't want to cross for batteries or processors. And that's with just light multitasking. I can't imagine playing games on the One.
It's an aluminum body! Why doesn't it leech heat?
I'm gonna look into a new phone for the summer.
I am also from California and my phone gets hot from time to time. Case is a big factor on the cooling side. Plastic, rubber, and silicone are good insulators and will keep the heat in. i would recommend removing the case when phone temps get to 115+F
I live in PA so I have never gotten a warning about the battery temperature reaching that limit, but I have been alarmed sometimes just at how hot the phone feels when I am using it heavily. It's hard to tell with a case on but without it, if I am running backups/restore in recovery or playing games, even in the cooler climate it has given me cause for concern.

I keep mine uc all the time and it rarely gets hot. I've never had to mess with the thermal settings. The CPU is so powerful it really doesn't need to be as fast as it is in my opinion. 1.55ghz seems to be right where it should be. No lagging at this speed and the difference in performance is negligible at best.
