Overheat? - Motorola Droid X2

Had something strange happen today. I was streaming a video through the Netflix app for a little over an hour while I had my x2 plugged into my Motorola car charger. It never missed a beat or locked up or skipped or rebooted but it did get pretty hot in my hand. So much so that I removed the vzw silicone case I had on it. Finished the movie just fine. Later on, as I was putting it in a pocket, I saw some silver down in the external speaker on the back. Looks like the black plastic film beneath the speaker screen bubbled & melted slightly, although it still sounds just fine. Could it have gotten that hot w/o shutting down? Should I be worried?

As long as everything is still working correctly I wouldn't worry. But it wouldn't hurt to give verizon a call and tell them what happened, that way they can make a note of it in your account and if you suffer a future malfunction it will probably be easier to get a replacement out of them.

Sounds like a plan, thanks. Ever hear of anything like it happening?

Never heard of a phone getting so hot that the speaker melted lol.
I do know that the 3g radio in the x2 is like a mini furnace, and was the likely culprit. Wifi keeps the temperature much lower. And the tegra2 has a operational temperature of 26.6° - 158° F. Which it pretty hot, although I'm not sure when the self preservation shut down kicks in, I'd guess around 150° F. So it can get really hot before it will shut down on it's own.
Anyways, like I said before it was *probably* because you were on 3g and using so much data constantly. Now that you know you can try to minimize those situations, or give the radio a break every 30 minutes or so. And use wifi whenever possible.
Cheers

They do get hot, and keep in mind when these phones are engineered they aren't designed with cases in mind. The aluminum battery cover for example is designed to help dissipate heat from the phone. These cases don't allow the phone to dissipate as designed. They are fine for the most part...but so many heavy users are complaining about overheating with their cases. I'd call and see if Verizon would be willing to do something, and then try without a case.
Also...the weaker the signal you are getting the hotter that 3g radio will get. As mentioned above, if wifi is available it will help tremendously.

Update: According to vzw, this thing should shut down before any physical damage occurs to anything. Must have an issue with the phone so they are sending a replacement.

+1. Once the temp reaches a certain point it will go into "cooldown" which basically turns your phone off.
I also agree with the 3G being a mini furnace.
It's an nVidia SoC you are dealing with. They always make chips that run hot.

Yeah nvidia tend to run a little hot, mine for example runs in the 105-115° F range on wifi, any phone I've had with a TI would rarely go over 100° F.

I guess their point is that it should've gone into cooldown before anything actually melted. The fact that it was charging too should not have made a difference.

I agree it should have shutdown, but I don't have a point of comparison. Yours is the highest temp I've heard of.
I wouldn't complain about a new phone though, especially after it was subjected to high temperatures like that. Reliability becomes a crap-shoot after something like that.

I Have Extremely Poor Service -95 To -115 dBm And The Highest I've Seen Is 65° C. By That Point I Knew Something Was Wrong When I Thought My Hand Was Going To Burst Into Flames. I Use A SETCpu Profile For The CPU And Battery Temperatures. I Don't Trust Verizon Saying They Have A Safety Feature For It When I Know My Computers CPU Hits 70° C It Has A Shutdown Feature To Save It.

Droid RAZR Overheating Issues

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.

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.

[Q] Top half of phone gets extremely hot.

Anyone experience this? I noticed when my phone is plugged in and i play a game for 5 mins the top half of my phone gets to 47-48 degrees... Almost too hot to hold. When I leave it alone it stays about 10 degrees cooler. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks for bringing this up, it's quite relevant to my interests.
Mine also gets hot. I recently upgraded my folks' phones to ATT Galaxy S II's (non Skyrocket) and they both get very hot when surfing on battery power via data. My battery monitor widget said 103'F at one point.
My Note also feels a little laggy (not hugely so) and has crashed a couple of times. The battery life is atrocious (coming from an iPhone 4)... I'm considering exchanging it at ATT as I'm still well within my 30 days. Rooting and freezing all the usual suspect apps hasn't helped.

Whats weird is that my original one didnt get hot but was laggy and freezing up. This ones the exact opposite.. Fast as hell and hot. Now i did a couple tests and the only difference was that the white on my current phone had a slight yellowish tint on the original. Battery life i get 12-17 hours on both.

My first note would her extremely hot between 117f and 130f while idle on a charger from the top half up. Used a thermal temp sensor from my liquid cooling to measure temp. According to a friend of mine manager at an att, said the heat problem is the biggest for return and that from what he's found out talking a Sammy rep that the cpu and memory in some units through shipping and handling have been loosened from their respective heat transfer system.
So basically manufacture defect and if it gets hot replace it. It'll hurt the internals.

Is there any overheating issue in S3?

Guys, I am planning to buy a Galaxy S3 but a friend of mine who owned an s3 told me that it generates a lot of amount of heat.. Can anyone please confirm or deny the issue?
Thanks!
Deny.
jje
but if your s3 is placed in the sun it is getting very hot and it will reboot by itself.
happend to me. i had to pull out the battery to stop the re-re-reboot process
I have yet to feel any significant heat on the S3, even while charging. My S2 on the other hand would get warm frequently but it never bothered me.

It overheats with the overheat app it comes with. I managed to bake a potato in one full charge.
Compared to my old HOX, the SIII is a fridge.
It warms up ever so slightly if you run some benchmarks on it but its the equivelant temperature to breathing on your own hand.

Today while charging the phone I dropped it in a bag of unpopped kettles. Guess what I have now. Popcorn. Boy does this phone overheat.
Yeah, I was just confirming if it was a fluke. According to him the phone even overheats while making call which IMO is not possible.
YES
OK this sucks.
Years ago, I got the Iphone 4 and you had to put a cover on it because of the antenna issue.
I get the S3 and to protect it, i get a cover and within no time, after putting it on the phone, the phone overheats, locks up, lags,
If i am charging it, it locks up. I was driving shortly after i put the case on, and it kept making noise but i was driving so i couldnt look at the phone. then once i got home. i noticed it locking up and really warm, bottom right hand corner.
This really sucks as i love the phone but I do know, overheating like this is not good for electronics and will lessen their lifespan.
anyone else having cover issues?

It gets rather warm when it running stuff that puts quite some load on CPU, GPU whateverPU, yah, but not to an extend where one could call it "overheat".
So far it's always been below 50°C - I think that's a "no" on the original question.

Note 2 temps?

Got my Note 2 about 2 weeks or so ago and like it so far. However, I notice it runs pretty warm consistently. Using system tuner, the temp is upper 40s°C Most of the time. And this is just sitting in my pocket, not gaming or anything intensive. Anybody experience this? The screen is pretty warm and is even uncomfortable to hold to my ear. Any help is appreciated. I did look and didn't find too many threads about it with the Note 2, and apologize if I missed any. Thanks!

Your device probably has a lack of thermal paste on the motherboard or they didn't put enough past in between the display.

Have you run any benchmarks? If there is an issue then it won't be good for the phone, but it'll tell you if it's throttling from heat issues. You also may be able to trade it at verizon with just the heat issue since it's noticeable so fast, but I'm not sure..
Ran a benchmark and everything seemed fine for that test. I'm resetting it now and will see if that makes a difference. I'm just past the two weeks and know I'd probably get a refurbished if I went to exchange it now. Everything else is working fine, so if this can be figured out then I'd much prefer to keep this one. Thanks for the advice guys. If anyone else knows something else to check before I possibly exchange it, that'd be great!

We have the same issue.. First install the android tuner, remember that the battery temp is not the same as the CPU temp.
I have my note that sits 38-42 CPU temp when Idle and 28-32 battery temp.
When I am browsing I could really feel the heat on the upper part of the screen. my CPU temp rise to 47-50 and my battery temp rises to 32-34.
Check your note.
I was browsing rhrough the forums and saw that you had the same problem too. My CPU temp is about 42C idle and goes up to 50 or just over when doing pretty much anything. My battery is about 33C at idle

Turns out it was an app or two causing it. I think one culprit was running wallpapers through picspeed instead of saving them first. Lesson learned and still monitoring cpu and battery usage. It's now running normal temps (low 30s even 28-29 sometimes when I first wake the screen). Thanks for the advice!

Ya, I would say try changing the battery. Someone did a test a while ago where they took 5 phones in put them in something and lowered the temp by 10f every 30 mins. At -10 batteries that had just been charged said low, then I think died at -20. Then at -30 they all had screen problems and battery problems. And I think they almost all stopped working completely at -40. But all they had to do was return the phones to room temperature again and they were all fine. I'll try and find the article but wat I'm saying is I don't think the cold damaged the phone but maybe the battery

I hope you are keeping your Amaze in a warm pocket. I recall seeing a story several years ago about an Air Force plane that overnighted in Fairbanks AK. They were carrying LCD monitors for southeast Asia. Turns out that all the monitors were ruined when their screens froze. LCD = Liquid Crystal Display, and liquid can freeze...
EDIT: having looked it up online, I'm not sure if the story is true or not, but many LCDs seem to have a -40c max storage temperature.
Hmm can't quote you ^^^
Yes its in my pocket its not -40 its like -10 to -35 at most, LCD is fine (thanks for info btw) just data and battery life (even when I don't go outside the battery don't last long, like 2 hours) since data don't work with right APN and everything I'm going to just get another phone, until then gonna try to make it work, any help would be appreciated.

As for the data, you might try replacing the battery cover, which houses the antennas.

Could possibly be due to condensation issues. I had a phone a few years back that suffered in the Ohio winters, which get nasty but don't compare to those temps. Also, as I understand it, cold kills Li-Ion batteries quite nicely.
