I purchased a Droid RAZR on the day it was released and it has been running just fine. As of right now I am satisfied but I ran into something that worried me slightly.
Earlier today I had my phone in the Kickstand case/belt clip and hadn't used it for about an hour. When I took the phone out of the belt clip it was scolding hot. Battery, screen, all of it. I regretfully didn't have something to monitor the temperature to check what it had gotten to, but it was nearing pain just to hold.
Has anyone else been running into overheating problems with their RAZR of this magnitude or does anyone know any cause/solutions? Any input would be appreciated.
Sounds like you had 4g turned on and a lot of activity going on
also sounds like it got hot, i did not "overheat".
My razr gets warm in the case too... Does your case have a magnetic closer thing? Mine does and I am wondering if that is playing a part as I know old motorola droids (Droid 1 ) would not play nice with magnetic cases.
Mine has never been got hot. Not even warm...
But I've heard that many of you are experiencing problems like this so, maybe, it's my device the exception.
P.S.: Always running in HSPA+ with data connected. It got a little warm after 30 minutes of playing on WebTop (on my ATRIX LapDock)
I noticed this today. Went without my otterbox on an after 10 min of listening to pandora the thing was almost to hot to touch. Going to exchange this.

No it does not.
And there were not a lot of activities going on. Up until that point I had made a phone call. That was it. And I checked to see what was active and there wasnt aanything that shouldn't have been.

Mine is XT910 and it is kinda cold even after surfing HSPDA+ for 15mins. The 4G LTE radio in the XT912 aka Droid Razr should be the cause of this issue. I believe they'll roll maintenance updates soon enough to fix this kind of baseband issues.
My device too has been getting hot. I have the Droid Razr. It will overheat with no case, weather i am streaming in 4g or not. constantly losing 4g connection. also once it is over heating it will begin to powercycle. I have also noticed now due to the over heating the kevlar backing now has a huge air bubble underneath it where it has come detached. you can run your finger across hte bottom and just hear the popping sound of it moving around.
Check in Display Settings if In-Pocket detection is ticked. You never know. It is an active process if ticked.
For the past couple days I've noticed when I am in bed I've been using my fiance's EVO 3D charger and it's been heating up the screen pretty good, hot enough to really feel it on your palm of hand, not warm, i'm talking hot. I unplug it, shut it down and within minutes it's cool again.
is this an LTE phone?
I noticed the phone get hot (noticeably hotter than expected) the first day of use when I was hammering LTE and opening/closing things. I didn't use LTE a lot after that. I used the (google) navigator app in the car for a good 11 hours straight and it barely got warm but using 3g.
Since then, I've installed the leaked update which contains a new radio and updates the os to 2.3.6. I've been running 4G and It hasn't been anywhere close to hot. It might get SLIGHTLY warm while downloading/watching some youtube vids but it seems much improved.
No such issues with mine. Scolding hot? You sure you are not exaggerating a little?

Man, Razr has a high voltage battery..... dont ever try to charge it with another phone's charger,,,,
you can charge via laptop.....
My GSM RAZR does get hot, but after about 20 mins of browsing the net + chatting + fb all using 3g....get worried at times...but it goes off. just hoping for my back cover not to bulge, like some has.

Just how 'high' do you think the voltage is on the battery? I have used various chargers and they all work fine.
I had to echange my Razr after 2 weeks because the camera kept freezing but 4-5 times I would feel my pocket get hot. It was very hot and would partially drain the battery quick. Only have 3G in my area. I would reboot it and it would cool down.The new Razr has always stayed cool.
I've had similar problems in the past with my phone randomly becoming extremely hot and the battery dying within a few hours. I eventually downloaded an app called Android System Info on the market. It will tell you exactly what processes are running and how much of the CPU they are using. I found out that a process named android.process.media was starting and hogging 70% or more of my CPU at random intervals. After some research I figured out this was possibly caused by my phone attempting to sync with the media on my micro SD card and failing, but continuously retrying.

Disregard that message as it is ridiculous.
If the Razr couldn't be used with a standard micro-usb charger then they would have put a proprietary charger port on it. And secondly, even the cheapest plug-in charger has far more juice than what a laptop USB port provides.
When I first received my RAZR, it too became very, very hot at times. Uncomfortably hot. To the point where I feared for internal components. On the plus side, some of those 'black blotches' under the screen seemed to disappear.
As above, narrowed it down to the media scanner. Solution was initially to use the phone without an SD card, but that was hardly a long term fix. In the end, I rooted, froze the terrible Blur music app, hid as many folders as possible with .nomedia files, and used the feature of PowerAMP that disables the system media scanner for its database.
Have not had the same problem on 2.3.6 firmware, thankfully.

So like with the original EVO, I used it to navigate with Google Navigation. The phone heated up sometimes but not by much. However, the EVO 3D seems to heat up the point of almost burning at the touch. Anyone else get this?
Some of them overheat. My first one didn't, my 2nd one did, my current one doesn't. My girlfriends first one did her current one doesn't. Her's was exchanged specifically because of it getting too hot. Mine had screen issues.
You should exchange it.
Well when you use navigation you are using the GPS, data to keep the map current, display to show it all. All of these things cause the phone to heat. If you have it charging while navigating it will heat more. Heat is a totally normal product of hardware doing its job.
Now, if it gets burning hot, melts your components, anything like that, there is call for alarm.

Yeah, well whenever im using my GPS im usually not using it as a phone. But when I do happen to get a phone call, its like putting a hot coal against my face X.x.
I mean it's hotter than a laptop would be if it was running full on. Maybe I will exchange it...I don't want there to be problems in the future.

What temperature does it get to? Was it charging while using it? Was the sun on it at all? Was the air on in your car, or was it hot? All of those things can.play a role as well, especially while using gps.

The only time i over-heat is when using the MHL adapter. Havn't tried playing 3d intensive games for longer than 10 minutes, so not sure about that (i'll try later tonight, they won't let me play at work).
Might be that the screen is on too long at high brightness rather than just the processor taking in to many inputs? Or it might be the 4g, cause I was streaming movies when watching on the MHL... it'd be nice to know what people are doing that makes there phones overheat so we can analyze more results.
Never had an overheat on my rezound. I run wifi daily all during work. usually only streaming pandora or gmusic over wifi. netflix on some days but never gets hot. mostly on wifi so not sure about 4G.
With the 4g network down in Chicago yesterday I was plugged into a wall outlet and streaming through a radio feed via dolphin and my phone wasn't overheating in 2g. Coincidence? I think not lol. Will be testing my replacement rezound starting today we will see how this one goes.

its through amazon wireless and they give me 30 days from the shipping date to return. They also did overnight delivery for the nes one which was awesome.
anyways I just played a game that over heated my phone to 115 then I stop pulled the battery. I'm waiting a half hour or so so my phone cools down then I'll do the same game with the nee battery and we'll see how that goes. If it over heats I'll repeat the process in the new phone. Sure hope its just the battery
Are you in an area that gets a good data signal? When I was in an area where the phone was working hard to keep the 4G signal,it would warm up.

I have good signal but the 4g is irrelevant to my overheating. I turn it off. Clear all apps. Start the game (little war game or whatever) and it gets over 110 degrees atleast after ten minutes.

Ok I recently installed Eclipse ROM on my MMX2 phone hoping it would increase the speed and extend the battery life, but no noticeable change in either of those categories. I use my phone alot and understand that is part of my battery drain, but I have noticed when using my phone to either surf the www or play a game or even talk on it, the heat is almost too much where I can barely hold the phone without thinking i am going to burn my hands.
Today I actually paid more attention to it and took the back battery cover off and it was surprisingly cool to the touch, even the battery wasn't hot, but below that it was scorching!! The heat is radiating from near the speaker cover (my speaker isn't near as loud as my friends Droid-X but that's a different issue for a different topic).
Does anyone else experience this issue with either the MMX2 or the DX2? I assume they are very similar phones.
Thanks!

I have a Milestone X2 and my phone has never gotten hot where I can't touch it. It gets warm when i am playing a game or something. You might have a bad connection with your speaker. Take notice if it gets warm when you listen to something? While charge or only if you are using your phone with a game.
But generally I have not experienced this with my phone. I would let someone take a look at it! I work at a Cell phone store and I have heard of devices getting so hot that it physically did burn an individual. The phone itself did this because one of the servos where not attached properly.
I would also try a different charger...
The only time mine gets really warm is when I'm constantly using wifi. Other than that its cool.
A big culprit of the DX2 overheating is the Flash software. Check to see if you have Flash 11 installed. Others who have had this issue have either removed it or used a previous version of Flash.
I'm wondering if I have ANOTHER bad S3. First one never heated up at the bottom but had a bad volume rocker that didn't work. Got it replaced and now this one always gets hot at the bottom. My usage hasn't changed... I'm wondering, is this normal.

I just got my phone yesterday so I haven't really had time to use it. However, when I was downloading all of my apps from the Play Store, I did think it was very hot on the bottom half of the back.
That being said, I'm going to go to the store tonight to get my phone replaced due to loose/clicky home button.
Mine only gets hot at the bottom when playing intensive games like Dead Trigger on max, which seems normal. If it is getting hot all the time on normal use that doesn't seem very normal.
Mine gets hot at the bottom with normal use. :-(
warm at the bottom with normal use. nature of the beast. slim, high powered phone, its gonna get hot
Mine gets warm sometimes on its own with the screen off and everything just sitting in my pocket. Without playing very graphically intensive games though, it won't get what I consider hot. At least coming from my old DINC.

yeah mine gets slightly warm at bottom under light to moderate use. doesnt really bother me at all.
It's a powerhouse phone that's so slim of course you're going to feel the heat. If anyone thinks they have a problem with their phone download "Cool Tools" and you can check the temperature live.
I know during easy use like sending a text the phone is cool.
Moderate use like surfing the web or watching a video the bottom half gets warm.
Heavy use such as playing Dead Trigger or Nova will cause it to get hot. But just like any electronic device the more use the hotter the temp. Sadly phones unlike desktop PC's don't have cooling fans.
WARM/HOT IS OKAY! STOP FREAKING OUT PEOPLE!
Mine has only ever gotten slightly warm at the bottom, and never hot or noticable. That was while constantly dropping in/out of service and heavy usage. Other than that it has been very cool, even when charging.
Also those with a case will feel the heat differently as well.. If you have a case you're less likely to notice the heat.
Those without a case will feel the effect more.
Either way too many of you freak out over nothing.
I think this is funny because when the new ipad came out (which i love btw) everyone was writing articles left and right all over the internet about it getting hot.
It's normal for it to get warm/slightly hot especially when using it while it's charging. But really anything after a few minutes of use will make it begin to warm up. Then toss in videos or games and it will warm up some more. As phones get more powerful and thinner the more we will feel the heat. I mean these are miniature computers but unlike laptops or desktops they don't have the luxury of a fan and ventilation system. The heat has to go somewhere right? Every dual core phone i've used gets warm. My Sensation actually gets extremely hot (HTC said it was normal), and my Bionic gets pretty darn hot too.
I returned mine because it was getting extremely hot after only 5 mins of lite web browsing. Back to my S2 or Gnex I guess.
I hear what you guys are saying, but my first one didn't get warm. I don't do any intense gaming or watch videos. I use the Facebook app, instagram, I text and make a few phone calls. The second one gets warm and the first one disnt... Same usage

I just want to say that if you have chronically high temperatures and short battery life, you might want to seriously consider that your phone is defective.
I just replaced my Rezound due to an intermittent problem with the touch screen (the problem only occurred when the phone was hot, lol). I was able to port a nandroid of my old device onto the new one, making sure that radio/kernel versions were identical, and all the problems I ever had are completely gone.
I just used the new phone for over an hour. The temperature is under 100F, and my extended battery is at 90% None of this would have been possible with the old device. I'm beginning to count the touchscreen failure that prompted me to make a warranty call as a blessing.
A lot of time and effort have been expended here to deal with this power-sucking heat problem. I don't know if it's something you can configure away, but I don't believe you shouldn't have to. Some people complain that the Rezound is too hot. When others say it's not so hot, I think we just write that off to the fact that everyone uses the phone differently. Well, I'm thinking maybe it really is just your hot phone that's the problem.
I've seen users dump their application list in the search for the culprit. How much time did Scott Crosler spend mixing and matching kernels to find the cause? It had gotten to the point that I wouldn't talk on the damned thing for more than a few minutes because it was uncomfortable to be holding that hot brick up against my head.
There are threads where people compare the hottest temperatures they've observed on their phones. We take for granted that this phone runs hot. Well, it doesn't. Maybe your phone runs hot, but other phones do not.
This is an expensive device. You'll end up paying hundreds of dollars for it by the time your contract runs out. If your phone's running hot, and you've been looking for the source, or if you've resigned yourself to a phone whose use has to be moderated to keep it from getting too hot or running down the battery prematurely, then I'm here to tell you that you might want to swap that sucker out for another one that works right.
I just got my third fix it rezound where people had similar problems. On the most recent phone, it was really slow, I mean really really slow with everything. It was also having a high heat/excessive drain problem. The guy bought two new phones because he wanted something faster. Unfortunately he had rooted his wife's phone against my advice so they were probably identical.
After I received it and saw the phones behavior I understand why he got a new phone.
The first thing I did was s off it, then I flashed a new RUU and did the entire process twice.
That eliminated almost all of the problems, performance wise it was running great. But the battery was shot. It had just suffered way too much temperature abuse. I put a new battery in it and its like a different phone, its rock solid.
I agree with the guy in the first post. If you've been fighting issues like that, and you flash a stock RUU and are still having problems after trying a new battery (as in one that wasn't in your phone back when the firmware was wonky or when you were running mismatched firmware and patching the broken stuff, send that sucker back. Get a replacement, because its an amazing device when its right.

I've had 2 this week and sent them both back. The one I have now is my second one which has a messed up front camera that I got back in February. The first one they sent me earlier this week for over 120 degrees just from charging. That was the first one I experienced with actual heat problems... The second one I got yesterday had a seriously screwed up proximity sensor so I put it back in the mail about an hour later. I sent them an email so we will see what they say I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do, I literally do not have time to worry about a defective phone that I have spent close to 800 dollars on.

I don't consider my phone to have heat problems, but others would. It will get to 117-118 on 4g streaming. This has been consistent across both rezounds I've had. If I switch over to wifi, phone doesn't touch 100. I think its just the 4g radio on top of everything else.
Curious to the OP, are these better temps on wifi, 3g or 4g?

I think it definitely is a hardware rev issue. I've got one of the "good" rev B. phones and I rarely see over 100 degrees in a controlled (indoors) environment no matter how hard I push it. My wife's Rezound is a rev. XA "pink button" phone and it gets hot and does all kinds of crazy things I've never seen on mine.
I should also note mine is overclocked at 1836 while hers is bone stock never even been unlocked.

I am on my third Rezound because of heat issues. I love the phone, but this heat issue has been something a lot of us have been complaining about since the phone came out. Verizon has been good about replacing the phone, but I have lost several batteries because of the heat issue. Once the phone gets to hot, it starts cooking the batteries. At least that was what I told.
I agree that if your phone is overheating, you do want to get it replaced. My third phone heats up when I am watching NFL Redzone. I have not had it overheat like the other phones but it does get quite hot. If I had a complaint about this phone, that would be my one complaint, it gets to hot.

Seems better everywhere. I am doing an apples-to-apples comparison, though. On my home WiFi, the old phone would get up into the 120s with continuous surfing. The replacement phone is almost 20 degrees cooler. It's comfortable to hold, and I'm not constantly wondering if my hand is getting microwaved.
I'm on my second Rezound, and this one gets hot as balls. My original one didn't but I had to get it replaced because the data radio was constantly shutting off due to a botched s-off or it was failing. It will be a year next month that I've had it. I'm probably going to ditch it for one of the Nexus devices soon.
Well VZ sent me some lame email this afternoon apologizing and saying I should get another rezound tomorrow. If this one is messed up I'm taking it to the store and throwing it at someone.
Just out of curiosity what exactly was the touch screen issue you had?
I've felt that when mine get warm/hot the touch screen is either less responsive or inaccurately processes the touch to a different location on the screen.
Is this the problem you (and apparently others) are experiencing?
I guess I'll have to see if I'm still covered to get my four replacement b/c otherwise I really love this phone (as long as I don't go to far from a power source).
