Evo 3d overheating. Common issue among us Evo 3dusers? - HTC EVO 3D

My Evo 3d has been overheating a lot lately. My phone has setcpu set with profiles and the highest it goes to is 1193 and that's only when charging. Off the charger the highest is 972 Max 384 min. Anyone else have overheating problems with their Evo? From a simple Google search it seems to be an extremely common problem.

As a experiment, don't use setcpu for a few days and see if you experience the same thing.

Mine hovers around 38 Celsius during high load times like after flashing a new ROM and getting everything in working order.
Other than that, I think it just gets a little warmer than usual, but nothing to worry about like shutting off to prevent damage.

can i ask why the HELL you have your profiles so bass ackwards? lol
just curious why you have it set higher when it's charging... and throttled down when you are actually using it and need it to be performing optimally and at low temperatures...
the phone is plugged in.... and it already gets warmer from simply charging, that's how it works. and you have it spinning all the way up while doing so, and wonder why it is overheating? come on dude.

I'm using an evo 3d gsm and I'm not getting any issues with overheating even when running intense apps like dungeon defenders.I don't think you should be getting any overheating issues with the evo 3d. Perhaps it's something u installed that is causing a wake lock
issue.

Simple battery saving. Also I use it more when it's charging

Bring it down to about 800 MHz while on the charger, and the same when off the charger.
Simple lesson in physics... If its cooler, its more efficient. Try to keep the battery and processor cool when charging by lowering CPU frequency. It will help.
bastardized rom. it's fast. get some.

Does everyone's Atrix get really warm?

I was just curious if everyone's Atrix gets warm in the lower part of of the phone?
I've read on a few forums people just chalk it up the the dual core processor, but mine gets warm even if I'm doing something as simple as just reading Fox News. I don't know how that could be taxing the processor that much. I don't have much else running in memory which could be using a ton a resources.
Mine doesn't get hot, just pretty warm. I guess I am just suprised cause it's the only phone I've ever had that gets warm like that.
I tried our display model at work and it gets really warm also, so I guess exchanging my phone for another would probably amount to ending up with a new phone that does the same thing.
I was just wondering if it is common with everyone.
Yes, its a dual core phone so its to be expected.

Yeah, mines gets warm too. Maybe try downloading SetCPU and limiting the processor's speed if you can't handle the heat
Anyways, its to be expected especially while running games or watching movies.
How hot is too hot? With fauxs newest kernel mine gets up to 70c
OCd at 1.3 on idle is at 51 celcius. I think its acceptable
Sent from my OC'd Motorola™ Atrix®
What are normal temps?
Also is there an app which will let me see the temp which works in the stock firmware?
I dropped back to the .7 kernel. My processor was getting way too hot at even 1.2 when under load. 70C+ is not good for any processor. Back to 1.1 for me.

Which kernel are you using?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
51C at IDLE?! Mine is at 42C!
What OC you have shouldn't matter, as your phone doesn't run at maximum frequency with maximum voltage unless you are actively using it!
But to answer the OP's question, my phone gets pretty warm too. I just read the temperature after watching a 5 minute HD video, and it was at 67C. If you are using the cellular radio i'd imagine it can get even warmer.
That means the dualcore is doing its job
Using setcpu and CPU stress testing & quadrant benchmarking for almost 2 hours straight one day, mine never exceeded 60C.
I think the 1.3OC(v1.9) kernel is wonderful, I've hit 4.9k scores on quadrant standard. It seems to be more friendly with the combination of setcpu & CM7 also, the later kernels kind of crippled my setcpu profiles and would cause my launcher to FC(I suspect?)
Phone idles at 34C.. probably lower because screen off my max freq is 216mhz(AMAZING BATTERY LIFE) in fact, i usually keep my proc throttled down to about 400mhz and don't crank it up until i need it(again. AMAZING BATTERY LIFE)
honestly... at 400mhz the phone still quite snappy.
51c? unnaceptable.
mine runs at about 30c most of the time.
however i did notice a strange issue that the phone gets alot hotter after you charge it and then unplug the charger, a reboot usually fixes this. i make it a habit of rebooting immediately after unplugging the charger and my phone stays most of the day between 30-33c
this also helps the battery life a lot, i can usually get by the end of the day with 60 to 80 percent left.
If you change your oil every 5k miles and put air in the tires and keep your fluids topped off you should be to.... ummm wrong forum. I though this was the nascar forum.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Mine average on 58C to max at 62C.. Idles at 41C.. It's warm! I got used to it.
Has anyone considered the longevity of the phone and battery from the unit staying warm all the time?
Mine is pretty much warm the whole time it is in my hand when being used. Outside in the sun taking pictures even more so.
I don't think I have any runaway processes. After I restart the phone, I use a task killer to kill everything it boots up with initially. Everything which is needed, like about 4 things come right back up, so I excluded them. But I don't use to to autokill stuff. It's just when I boot up I noticed there are like 30 things started up for no reason being as I just turned off the phone.
I figured I know which ones need to be up cause they come right back up after being killed. But things like Google+, Maps, Gallery...etc...which I don't think need to be running at bootup I kill.
+1 on going back to 1.1... OC'd at 1.3 was killing battery and heating up like crazy! OC'd to 1.1 have no problem with UV, heat, and get 30+ hours battery life with moderate use.
It's not just the CPU/GPU usage what's heating up the Atrix...
That specific area of the Atrix contains CPU/GPU and also the GSM/3G/Wifi and Bluetooth radio chip, which can get really hot while broadcasting voice/data. Even if the radio is idle, if you are on a bad reception area it will be constantly searching for coverage and switching from 3G/4G to 2G, which creates heat and battery drain.

[Q] Overheating

So, for the last couple of days my phone has been getting real hot when charging. It's not the battery that's getting hot it's more towards the top of the phone. The phone is less than a month old and I've never dropped it. I'm assuming it's the processor. I thought it might have been a ROM issue so I just switched from Fresh EVO to mikrunny and still the same issue. It also got hot and drained the battery while listening to music last night. Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions. I now have to charge my battery with the phone off.
Are you using a stock battery or a knock off extended one on ebay? Also have you overclocked your phone at all? Some kernels will allow you to overclock. You on the stock kernel?
You can spank your phone pushing it too much and the sucker will heat up.
I'm using a stock battery. At first I was on Fresh EVO with the stock kernel and now I'm on mikrunny with one of the anthrax kernels, but I don't think it's an overclock issue because it really doesn't get hot during normal use mainly when charging. If I charge the phone with it turned off everything is fine.
What's you clock min and max speeds when your charging??? Also are you using a stock charger??? If so try a different charger.

I haven't changed the clock speeds from what the standard speeds are for the kernel I'm running. I already tried two different chargers and still the same result.
Sent from my PG8610000 using xda premium
Some of the AnthraX kernels have a problem with overheating. The old v5 ones had it, while the v3 ones did not.
Might want to try another kernel (i heard the unity one doesn't have the problem, and dont think the LeeDroid one does either, dont know if they're compatiable with your rom though)
Agreed. I've had issues in the past with the AnthraX kernels heating up my device. As stated, I'd try and flash a new kernel. Also, what is your CPU scaling set to? I know that IntelliAnthrax (or whatever it's called) was causing major battery drain problems because it would often decide to get stuck at as high of a clock it could. I combatted the similar issues I had by using conservative scaling and a screen-off CPU profile with the max clock set at around 700Mhz. You might even want to try creating a low-clock profile for charging.
If all else fails, at least from what I've been hearing, it could be crappy QC on HTC's end. Sounds like there have been a lot of hardware failures for the Evo 3D.
I don't think it's a kernel issue because I was having the same issue on the stock kernel.

What's the best app to control clock speed? I have setcpu, but haven't used it on the 3d yet.

Ur not alone on this. I have the same issue from time to time. I know it's not the kernel nor my rom cause I had the issue before I even unlocked and rooted my phone. It doesn't happen all the time either. I can go a awhile and no problem and then I get it where it's doing it non stop. Temps like 107 and higher. I've set my clock speed low as hell for changing and screen off. I use the rls 09 kernel that's in the rom I run. I'm not really over clocked either. I have stock battery also and have know idea what causes it.
I'm gonna try underclocking it while charging and see how that works.

I know over clocking can cause heat even a lil bit the phones don't have fans built in to take on the heat from overclocking. Sometimes the phones can get warm if you have big hands and have a good grip on it.
Folks with no overclocking exp shouldn't mess with it.
Tho overclockin the phones I have always thought wasn't a good idea due to heat issues and burnin em up.
On a pc its fine to mess with overclockin due to the cooling effect of the fans or whatever your using to keep the stuff cold.
I set up an underclocking profile for screen off and charging and the hottest I seen it get when charging was 94. I'm ok with that. Also a guy at work has a stock phone and he says his gets hot when charging also.

[Q] charging paused because battery too hot

I am no my second GS2 and the issue persists.
Issue:
When charging overnight, the battery gets extremely hot. So much it warps the sim card. The first phone overheated until it died. Last night the second phone overheated until the warning message “charging paused due to temp” came up. I do use a CPU intensive app that uploads files to my server when plugged in. (so it doesn’t drain the battery). I have used all these apps on my old captivate with no issues with overheating.
I have tried Unnamed 2.2.1 and ICSreweD 1.6.1 roms, but the battery still overheats. Unless this might be a faulty batch from the store, what areas should I look into? At the end of the day, I would really like to continue to allow the app to run while charging. Especially since I have used it with less powerful phones prior. I have read others have this same issue with the GS2 but no solutions as of yet. Is there a different ATT phone that does not have this issue?
Silly question, but I know many who do this...
Do you place your phone under your pillow overnight while charging?
When charging and running a app that requires high cpu usage will overheat the battery. So close it at night while charging.
Damn warping the card. **** that's bad.
One time at football camp i put my shoulder pads in my ass
If you need to keep the app running while plugged in all night, what about using a plugged in profile in set CPU to throttle to 800 mhz Max or something...

Set it with setcpu or tasker. It's likely running at 1200 mhz all night right now. (assuming you don't OC). Try throttling it down to 500 or 800 mhz, it should help. Not sure if there's anything that limits specific apps though.

Also great for battery life

If you absolutely have to leave your phone performing such intensive tasks all night, this is what I would try.
As twiggums said, it is probably running at 1200 all night and just melting itself. Unlike most computers, everything in our phones is passively cooled. Something else you might try is removing the battery cover (and any phone case) and placing a fan blowing directly on it. I know that is extreme, but so is what is happening to your phone.
Hope this helps.
I have also experienced this and it's really annoying. I couldn't love a human child as much as I love this phone but the overheating is not cool. I was using my phone to navigate while charging and once it got so hot that it locked up and another time it paused the charging due to thermal issues.

Since my PC is caseless it wasn't that hard pointing a 120mm fan to it.

IIRC entropy mentioned some time ago that he throttles CPU to 800 mhz when using nav and charging...keeps it cooler and allows for slight charge rather than drain...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Yeah I'd suggest possibly throttling the CPU. I charge my phone while driving and stream Pandora and use navigation. I've got mine set to Max out at 500 while screen off and it works fine.
Ideally our phones should be able to handle sustained 1200 mhz. But then when you add a case and the heat generated while charging I guess it's too much for some. Guess it's the price we pay to have a beast of a CPU
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
thanks for the tips on throttling the cpu. i had thought about that and will probably do it but i still thinks its really lame that we have to do this. i dont even have a case on my phone. what are people who arent rooted and cant underclock their cpus supposed to do? oh well i guess
I have started to notice this on my phone. it happens when I'm in the car only though. Here's the situation.
It seems anytime I run Navigation my phone cranks up in heat to the point that I can't touch it. Is this a ROM/Kernel issue, or a problem in the phone itself?

Well if your sig is correct and you're running at 1600 MHZ, I'd say that's probably why. Running at that speed for prolonged periods is likely to generate some heat.

I run Set CPU and my sig isn't correct. Well, the 1600 mhz isn't at least. I have it capped at 1000. It's just odd that I can multi task any number of applications without a problem. I use navigation and instantly, the only application I can use is that one. Running Pandora or the phone or the phone interrupts pandora or the phone interrupts navigation and I get this error and the screen gets untouchable.

Hmm possibly reflash your ROM. I can run nav and Pandora fine, and my phone limits my CPU to 500mhz while screen is off. Or at least try reinstallin maps/nav, sounds like its gobbling up way too much CPU for some reason.

I told Pandora to not turn off the screen. I would think that Nav would do that natively or else it would negate the purpose of it. I wonder if maybe telling Pandora to keep the screen on and Nav keeping it on natively makes it think really hard and heat up.

[Q] Heat issues?

My new TP seems to get rather hot. Is this an issue? It seems like the heat is worse when surfing and changing at the same time.
I would say that there may be an issue. Mine never got above 92 degrees. But its almost always at room temp ( around 70 degrees). Now my phone gets up to 104 if surfing the web on 3g so I guess it depends on the device.

I estimate that the temp is rather high. Not just warm, but hot. Most of the heat was located in the middle of the back cover.
Do you have an app or widget that display core temps?
mine is getting hot also while browsing the web, and battery is getting low pretty fast. this only happens while using android stock browser.
after switching to another browser the heating stops almost instantly....

mine get hot only when charging, I have mine clocked at 1.6Ghz on preformance mode, and it doesnt get hot when playing games.
it more noticeable when not useing the dock, I think it charges mush slower and thats the only reason is not getting as hot.
of you look at the design of the Prime the battery spans the lenght of the prime, so the heat will be middel but over the lenght of the tablet. if its the CPU from overclocking or over use, the hot spot will be top left middel.. ( if that make sence)

same here basically. plus nothing to be worried about. Prime has a fail safe in it THST if it gets too hot/overheat, it'll automatically throttle the CPU speed down so it can cool off and reduce the CPU temps. prime will never overheat out of control and burn itself up.

By always, you mean all the time? Or just when doing a certain thing (playing game, watching video, etc)?
The phone should NEVER get hot. It will get warm after watching a video or playing a game for an extended amount of time, but never hot. Also, take off the back cover and see if the battery is hot. If it is the battery, remove it IMMEDIATELY, there is a chance it could explode.
AW: Phone always getting hot,
If you oc the phone to >=1,5 GHz/ 320 MHz you could also call it hot if you play 3d games ^^ "hot" is a little bit subjective, imo its warm not hot, but other might see it different...
But if its always hot, something is wrong with your phone....
If you have root you can check the CPU and battery temps with kernel tuner (if supported by kernel) or similar apps
Cpu should stay at <30° at idle and <50 while using it a long time; battery is throttling itself @ 36° afaik, but should stay under 33° if your not benchmarking and charging at the same time....
