My E3D is getting very hot when I'm in a phone call, I was just talking for 14 min and my battery temp was 104 degrees fahrenheit! It happens every time I'm in a call for more then 10min. Does your phone get hot in call too?
Mine gets warm when using the 3g radio
Phone Too Hot
I saw another post about 3D getting too hot but no reply yet. If I'm on the phone for any length at all or playing a game for any length at all, it gets extremely hot. Hot on both sides. I have a fairly thick cover on the back to absorb some of the heat, and it has reduced it somewhat, but I just think it shouldn't be this hot. Could it be the dual processor? Or could there be something wrong with the phone and I need to contact tech support? I'd like to hear if others are having the issue even if you don't have a fix. Thanks.

I have since got a replacement E3D (Due to other reasons) and my new one doesn't seem to get that hot, it gets a little warm (Around the same as my EVO 4G) but nothing like my first E3D.
I think its normal to get pretty hot from heavy use but just being on the phone shouldn't heat it up too much.

Over the past month and a half that I have had an atrix I have noticed that my atrix has burnt me several times. I have it in my pocket and it just gets really hot. It doesnt seem to be the battery as the entire phone is very hot. This has been happening even before I rooted my phone. It burns me through the otter box. Im reluctant to take this back to at&t as i would have to unroot it. Are other people having this issue?
If its ridiculously hot, as it seems it is, thats not normal and you should return it ASAP. Also rooting would not affect heat output in any way.
One, wrong section.
Check a taskmanager when it starts running hot. Find out what is pulling so much processor load to create the heat.
I had this problem, took it back for replacement, then had the same problem on the new device. It turned out it was the Exchange sync causing the Motorola.services process to run constantly and kill the battery.
I solved it by changing the Exchange sync from push to every 15 minutes. I also do not use any sync with Google (mail, contacts, or calendar). My battery life is unbelievable now and the device stays cool 90% of the time.
Wasn't crossposting restricted in this forum?
Ha. Excessive heat. Buddy at least your phone doesn't have a aluminum battery door. Try touching that when your phone is being overclocked @ 1.5 ghz.
But essentially something that is syncing often is causing your phone to use the radio alot. And since its in your pocket there really isn't any airflow to cool it down hense the phone will generate heat.

Hi all!
I hope my post will help other people like myself that ware looking for information regarding this issue:
I installed TempMonitor and followed the teperateure of the device. There are 2 temperatures to measure: CPU and battery.
I will elaborate my findings:
1. CPU temp at rest without sync (push mail turned off) is 28-31C after a while (depends on the room temp).
In slight effort the CPU temp can get close to 50C but normaly is ~40-45C
It seems like the CPU temp is not that important and only when the CPU is running hot for ~10 minutes you feel the heat and it starts to get annoying. Notice that in this point a lot of battery juice is drawn.
2. Battery temp is also ~28C at rest. It gets up to 35C on ongoing effort. Since it is very large (1920mAh), you will feel the heat. I think that the battery is the main heat factor in the device and the CPU and graphic engine running in addition to the battery getting hot will cause the entire device to feel warm or even hot.
3. I noticed that at the beginning, one corner of the device (lower right) got REALLY hot and REALLY annoying at times. After 2 weeks, the heat spread became more bearable. I think it has something to do with the battery "setteling in".
4. Running apps that constantly check for updates and even push gmail, will cause your phone to run 1-2 degrees hotter and the more apps you add the hotter the phone will get at the resting state. Hence, when starting other apps it will get hotter and faster. even PowerControlPlus which is a very simple widget gets the deviec ~1 degree hotter on idle.
5. As the battery gets drained, it emits more heat. Try to charge your phones and not run battery draining apps when the battery is less than 30% or even 40% full.
I will comfort you all by telling you that I have a few friends with Galaxy S and Vibrants and their devices get hot too. A bit less on normal use like browsing but pretty much the same on 3D games and such.
I hope I helped because I was really frustrated by it for the first 2 weeks. I hope it will keep improving. I also purchased a case and hopefully it will help with the heat spreading around the phone - will update.
Please install Watchdog from the market to check if a process is acting crazy.
In my case it was 'Android media process' which ate 50% of all the processing power. There was not much of a performance drop since it occupied just one core.
Anyway Watchdog will give you an alert in case a process exceeds a certain percentage and from there you can google the problem or uninstall the app which is causing problems.
My Atrix 4G displayed a temperature of 37 degrees celsius. The highest till now I have seen. Could be higher though.
Its a dual core processor stop worrying about heat unless its hotter then 50c

My Atrix has reached temperatures of 70 Degrees Celcius...
@OP: I think ur safe.
how you turn off the push email? someone can indicate your configuration? thx

When watching youtube I reach 42 degrees celcius in the battery and it literally burns my hand. Would maybe return it if I hadn't ordered it from Canada.

thats because aluminium is a conducter which will let the heat out. plastic keeps it in. so if its hot i wonder why? xD

[email protected] keeping it in. Who knew one just needed a gnat's-hair-thick sheet of plastic to insulate their house?
I'm having the same issue, but it's only coming from the bottom half of my atrix, and only since I installed a new LCD. I'm actually worried the heat will destroy my mem card and sim.
I've ordered a new LCD now, so hopefully that'll sort it out.
It's probably just apps constantly eating cpu. My problem is with the laptop dock though. The battery in it gets way too hot. It's the first piece of electronics I've had that actually made me reflex my hand away from the heat.

I am a heavy user may go for hours at a time...Gaming mainly...
While heavy gaming I get aroud 75 to 80 degrees.. I bloody burns my hand to a point i cant even hold it anymore...!
Are you sure? 80 degree ? My PC only 72 degree.What have you done with your atrix

My SG2 seems to run quite hot when doing pretty much anything that requires the screen to stay on, particularly the upper half of the device. I notice the screen itself is quite warm too but according to SetCPU the CPU doesn't go above 38-40 degrees.
Also, it might be my imagination but it doesn't seem to cool down until I do a reboot, suggesting it might be a running service.
Anyone else having a similar issue?
So no one has an issue with their device running hot?

Mine gets hot when i am gaming, or when its sat navving, but it cools down again once i stop doing whatever it was that was making it hot, but it does retain heat thus taking a while to cool.
The screen tends to get hot for me when i am using games/bright stuff, reading my book on there, black screen white text, it doesnt even get any warmer than it would from my hands.
The top gets warmer cos thats where the chips etc are (watch a teardown video, you will see the chips).
I've just noticed it getting quite a bit hotter than I would expect behind the camera (Not seen the breakdown, but I'm guessing thats where the CPU is) when I was playing a few games on it (Specifically Words with Friends and Angry Birds). Just wondering if this is normal in most peoples experience or if its going to burn the side of my leg off at some point?
It should be ok, i've gotten it to the point where touching the camera bit for extended periods of time would be very, very uncomfortable (think a hot, HOT bath) but that's only if you're doing something intensive, usually games.
Right, just been playing Gun Bros with it plugged into the charger, and not only did the battery drop while charging, but it was running at 50c and behind the camera is as hot as Sticks02 points out. Bit worrying really.
Mine still getting quite hot, and quite quickly when playing games. I notice the screen near the top is getting hot too, as well as the back near the camera. Anyone else's screen doing this?

I posted something similar on the modaco website lastweek.
1. Phone gets hot (top half only)
2. Then low battery warning message
3. finally complete shutdown of the phone
Now the phone tends switch of randomly and it's not even hot. I have the latest firmware installed.
Also I thought I'd mention that I did get the battery hot message once then the phone again shut down.
I think this is a software issue rather then hardware, time will tell.
Never had the phone switch off or the battery run down fast. Just the heat for me.

I noticed one person mentioning he had gotten a phone which got real warm but he turned it in and got another that ran cooler.
This is my number one concern because it us the reason I am in need if replacing my incredible.
How warm are your phones getting (such as when running 1x or a heavy game)? Please speak yo because I want to make sure I don't live through this again. Thanks

To answer your question, I was just streaming the Jets/Broncos game from NFL mobile, tethering 4G to my computer and downloading a file at 4 Mb/s, browsing the web on my device, and doing some heavy texting. Battery is fine, phone is a little warm, but not near as hot as my Inc got.
The only time I've noticed mine getting really hot is when I'm charging it.
mine gets warm when i'm using it for like 60 straight minutes in bed before i fall asleep. the hottest it's hit was 40 degrees c, which is JUST as hot as my incredible used to hit when i'd do the same exact thing. but it cools down SUPER fast when you stop using it and lay it down on a table or something. i'm not worried about it.
the main reason for a phone getting hot is antenna issues. if the antenna is struggling(communication wise), it'll cause it to work overtime in an attempt to pull in a decent signal... and by doing so, causes the battery to get really hot.
it can either be the phone or the area you are in has signal issues. I'm assuming its signal related since you mentioned 1X. next time you try a 'heavy game', put your phone in airplane mode and see how the temperature is then.
It is nowhere near as hot mutlitasking as the RAZR is sitting on the VZW shelf idling!
When I first got it and was setting everything up, it did get pretty dang hot.
It's a warm phone at times.
My DInc would get very hot if I used it while charging. It would eventually just shut down completely and I couldn't do much with it for a while. I returned it for one that didn't shutdown quite as often.
I haven't had much heat problems in the limited time since I've had my Rezound.
I noticed that when charging the DInc while talking on the phone, or using the Nav it would stay cooler if I removed the silicone case. That got me thinking. Silicone is a pretty good insulator. We use to make mitts to remove stuff from the oven.
How much of this overheating problem are we creating with silicone cases?
Is tpu the same as silicone, heat conducting wise? I only use tpu.

I have used the Rezound and currently testing the Razr:
Rezound gets warmer due to nowhere for the heat to pipe out. The Razr pipes through the display to keep it from building up. The Rezound gets warmer, since not piping the heat out. I tested the Rezound with my 32gb card and after streaming Flash via 4G and playing N64Oid, the Rezound inside was HOT. Easily as hot or hotter than my Incredible would get with GPS on (that is toasty).
Both device get hot at some point, since 45nm LTE and both using dual core SoCs. The Rezound appears to get hotter, but this is more to do with nowhere for the heat to go.
We will be dealing with the heat and battery life issues until 28nm LTE chips are in devices mid next year (we can hope). The second gen chips should ease the current issues.
Note: The Rezound does not get anywhere near as warm when only using 3G. The 9600 LTE chip is a cookin' inside.
Which is my concern my dinc had severe thermal issues and bootloops once the radio overheats which is about ten seconds into a 1x session. It is simply horrible. I must get a new phone but am concerned about living though this again.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
man, you must've had a bad inc then. my inc NEVER got hot and bootlooped or shut off once in the 1.5 years i've had it.
I just want to know if this is a general issue with the phone or if I have a hardware problem.
I got a replacement geeksquad refurbished phone and noticed something. After using the phone for things like internet browsing, reading, etc. for around half an hour, the top right of the phone starts to get hot. When doing intensive things like playing games, it will get hot much quicker (around 5-10 minutes). I noticed that on ICS ROMs like Evervolv, or ROMs with high CPU usage bugs, that area seems to get warm then hot really quickly (2-3 minutes of web browsing).
The battery never overheats. It's just the top right of the phone.
I can't seem to remember very well, but I don't think my older phone before the replacement suffered from this issue. The battery would get warm on that but it never got hot or anything.
So my questions are:
-Is this a general problem with all Evo 3Ds?
-Is this a hardware problem?
-What is located in the top right of the phone that could be overheating?

Getting warm alil bit is normal due to heat of your hand and so on use wise. But hot to the touch burnin your hand due to heat then your having some weird issues.
Phone shouldn't get hot that quick. You on a stock rom? I would throw stock back on with stock kernel toy with it see if it still gets warm..

Its kind of in between warm and hot. Its not extremely hot but gets to very uncomfortable temperatures. Kind of like how the back feels when the battery is around 42°C.
I don't think its being affected by surroundings but since the problem is completely non-existent while outside in cold temperatures, that might be the case. It also gets hotter quicker while in hot environments. The reason I don't think this is the case is because its only that one spot. Also, I don't put my finger there often.

For some reason I never thought of trying a stock ROM...
If it persists with these issues, which it probably will, I guess ill need a replacement.

Mine gets pretty hot there when I'm using 4g and wifi tether. Hasn't damaged my phone yet and I've been using the 4g/wifi almost everyday for about 2 months now.
Is s6 edge have heating prob when we use games or do video chats???
A heating problem, no. It will get warm if you push it but it is well within anything normal. My m8 got hotter and from what I can tell the m9 will get even hotter.
s6 edge get hot
I buy new s6 edge...last night i was doing skype video chat..and its get very much over heat even difficult to touch...it...i ask from dealer he said its normal in everyphone
Thats y i ask...
Mine gets hot with YouTube and app downloads/updates. Hot enough where the camera disabled the flash because of heat.
I think is a problem with the edge, and needs to be fixed.

not have any problems with heat...
Mine barely gets warm, even when playing demanding games.
Got my Phone yesterday. During setup it got so hot that I had to take a break. Multiple breaks because i couldn't hold it any longer. I will see how it's doing today.
Battery dropped after one hour already 11% today... Maybe 30min screen on time has something to do with it
Just needed to get it out of my pocket.. GSam nearly 30°C
Dont know but it feels extreme Hot.. maybe the glas surface?
While surfing on my way home it reached 35°C and this feels really uncomfortable!
Mine also gets starts to get warm rather quickly. Usually starts on the back of the phone near the camera. So I guess that's normal? I'm just wanting to make sure it's not my phone that has a problem...
SuperG03
Bought yesterday Alhumdulillah. It was quite hot, did a factory reset (one is enough, else do twice). The max temp i'm getting on full load is 42c, idle is ~31c.
HTC phones can go very got... you can easily reach 70-90 degree
Mine can get pretty warm. At times it is cool and other times it can get warm to hot.
Mine barely gets warm, even when stressed. I firmware updated and factory reset it as soon as I took it out of the box though.
I stressed tested mine with a few antutu stress tests back to back and couldn't get it over 31C. Ambient temp around 22C
Hello all,
S6 edge user in india here, mine is a 64gb model. Any heavy/slightly heavy usage gets my phone to heat up. So much so that it becomes uncomfortable sometimes. To be double sure of the issue, i installed AnTuTu benchmark app, there i found a temp section of the device.
I did a small test. Please see.
Room Temp: 26-28C
Device temp before the game: 31C
Played the game (Duck Tales Remastered) for 10 mins.
Device temp just after the game: 35C
I dont play games on my phone due to this. Is this normal, or shall I be taking the phone to Samsung official here?

all OK..HTC phones gets hot they reach 90c ..therefore no problems if your phone can get that warm..it's a PC powerphone..you have an Octavia core processor..and likely nothing what cool down..on PC you have a fan..or..simply think about that such temperature is normal
...
Mine is weird. If i watch video ok YouTube o browser based video, my phone can get pretty hot. But when playing games, it doesn't feel hot lol
I have the same problem, when i use Chrome it gets very hot about 72C .... Did i need to send it back?

Dude stop advising people that it is acceptable to have a phone reach 90c...
Anything about 40-50 is an issue. These arm based cpu have low thermal limits and usually do not get excessively hot under normal to light heavy use
My s6 is not warm to touch but keeps shutting down to cool off. Now the phone has been off for 10hrs and will not let me charge it due to battery being too hot but again the phone isn't even warm to touch
