I've been noticing a good amount of heat up by the camera during moderate use. I thought this was a CM7 problem since I had been on it since day 1, but I am now on UnNamed and the problem persists. After some googling it does seem that many other people are having this problem. Not on WIFI, and not in a poor signal area either. Just wanted to see if anyone had any leads as to the cause. What is a good app for monitoring CPU usage by app?
Yes, it may get a little hot but it isn't something to worry about as far as I know. I've gamed for three hours straight and not had any problems except for a low battery life!
yeah mine gets hot near the camera during use but i dont think its a problem
I use a battery monitor.
From what I've read, it will shut off for protection. I've heard that as long as it doesn't ever get too much above 130 F, you should be OK.
Now if it constantly stays high, there may be a problem. Mine stays around 80 F most of the time and the highest I've ever seen is 99 F but i don't game much or use my camera. One thing you don't wanna do is charge it while hd gaming or charge it in a hot car. My infuse reached 146 F one time doing that.

Somehow 'Words with Friends' caused my phone to really warm up a lot. More so than I've seen with any other situation and on numerous occasions. Luckily I suck at that game and uninstalled it...
Mine is cool unless i put a thick case then itll burn up

When I first got CM7 running on this thing, I tore through the market installing the apps I'm used to. When I was finished, I noticed that it was indeed a bit warm in the area you described. It wasn't hot enough to cause discomfort, just warm enough to note.
I notice when my phone gets hot in that area when it is around 30% remaining and I charge it. I also notice that when it is charging, it really isn't charging but battery is draining. When I got home and charged it at 30%, I left it sitting there for about 30 minutes and when I checked the phone again, it was at 25%. GPS and wifi was turned off. I decided to power down the phone and remove the battery for 5 minutes. I started working fine after that. I noticed it getting hot again today when I plugged it in to charge at 40% but this time it actually was charging. I am running stock rom but rooted. Should this be a concern?
Seems as though a lot of people are having a variation of this problem. Hopefully it is addressed soon.
The CPU will always get a bit warm if it's running.
If it's getting very hot when the screen is off, you've probably got some background task wakelocking the phone.
My phone's screen gets pretty hot when I run web videos/flash videos on HSPA.
Runs a tiny bit warm when i'm running pristine 3D Tegra games on it...otherwise no.
Isn't that a little bit sad?
Since the support for this phone is realy crap.
I have the issue where the bat does not charge to 100%.
I have to remove the cable when it hits the green LED (99% full) and reconnect it again (LED turns red) to get to 100% finally.
When I contact HTC they tell me to send it for repair.
Buit this is obviously a software issue, not a hardfware issue.
An update would fix it easily.
My GF has same issue, and I swapped tyhe phone at the store in the first week because of this. New phjone exactly same problem.
Help?
You need to see a number to know your
phone is charged 100% overnight?

Normal behavior. And if this is the only issue you are having (not really an issue) you are doing pretty well. The phone has a built in overcharge protection (as all phones do) that will charge the phone to 100% or just under then let it discharge to 90-95% and then charge again to 100%. There are SBC kernels for other phones that will change this effect by charging to 100% and then trickle charge it to keep it at 100%, but none made for the EVO3D because it really doesn't seem like a huge deal. And if you are really sending phones back over 1%, you are one picky dude.
I think your thread title is wrong. There are some great fully functional ROMs out there.
The battery will fluctuate from 95%-100% while on the charger. Think it's an HTC issue, or maybe Android. This isn't something to get all pissed off about IMO, maybe I am missing something though.
yep.. is 100% normal.
i'm running on a shawn3d 1.4 rom, with a akernel v10.07, have a battery life of over 2 days, with bluetooth and wifi on, medium use..
everything but I mean everything works..
so euhm... whats the problem again???
OP,
Why you butt hurt?
Just kidding. These issues are all normal for android phones. I have seen these issues on the Heroc, OG Evo, Samsung Epic and now Evo 3D.
It is not that I am picky.
You must agree that it is quite anoying if you sleep for 8 hours while charging, and you then see a green LED, but then to see 99%.
When you for instance have the alarmclock ringning, you drain 2 or 3%.
It is not normal behaviour I think. PLus bat-life was 2 days in the first 2 weeks, now I barely last a day.
Any thoughts?
Edit...: 3 HTC phones before NO problem at all

There is no such type of issue on my evo 3d. I've tried around 15 different ROMs and all were functioning as they should.
The issue you have posted is not an issue. If you see green LED and numbers below 100% then your phone went to 100% before but you havent noticed that. I advise you to keep your eyes on the battery icon when the LED is red and % are near 98-99. You will notice it goes to 100% and red LED turns green. Then the numbers will go down as your battery discharges.
It is an overcharge protection made by the manufacturer.

What ROM are you on? Try a custom ROM for better battery life. I'm using ViperROM and plenty of people provide screen shots in that thread of their own findings (e.g. ridiculously long battery life).

You want your battery percentage to stay at 100 when you charge it? Get rid of your 3d, get an evo 4g, put a froyo ROM on it and use a sbc kernel. Other than that, quit *****ing. Like others have said its a built in over charge protection from HTC. Some may argue if its actually needed because i used an sbc kernel on my old evo ever since it was available and never had a problem with my battery. But is like 3-4% really that big of a deal?
Saying that there are no fully functioning roms is a bit rude imo, there are tons. I use warm 2.3 and it has zero problems.

It's not a issue, it's supposed to be that way. It has a "maintain" function once it reaches 100, it will let itself drain back to 95, the charge back to 100, then back down, etc.. It's to maintain the battery correctly .
Dumbass with a smartphone.
It's not an issue you idiot. It's so your battery doesn't die for good after a short amount if time. They're not supposed to be fully charged like that. Educate yourself instead of looking like a fool.

If a lithium battery were brought to 100% and the charger kept charging it to keep it at 100%, you would have far worse issues than a 5% fluctuation, you would likely have a house that has burned down. Lithium batteries are very picky about their voltage, too much and they go into a runaway exothermic condition and become fireballs, too little and they go into a runaway exothermic condition and become fireballs.
Check out youtube videos about damaged or overcharged lithium batteries.
Honestly, this is a problem with all Android phones, I've gone from the EVO 4g to the E3D and I've had the same issue, though I wouldn't exactly call it a "problem"...
What I do when I wake is unplug my phone, check my email/social networks on it for a few minutes, let the battery drain a few % points, then plug it back up while I shower. It sounds weird, but unplugging and re-plugging really helps, as my battery then stays at 100/99% for at least an hour after I leave my house before beginning to drain.
I've noticed that if I don't do this, the battery drains a lot faster than it would if I had...
Hope this helps
yea it is eternity 130
Ive been using 1800s lately..2 of them that i charge with an external charger that came with them. Usually getting around 18 hrs at normal/heavy use. Considering i was lucky if i ever made it 12 hrs on the stock 1500, it was a good deal.
So both 1800s were dead and the plug in charger wasnt charging for some reason...phone kept restarting.. so i popped in the stock as a last resort and it made it 1 day 13 hrs and might have kept going if i hadnt taken it out at 4%. Really??
What changed it? I had charged it on the external charger and itd been sitting unused for a few weeks. Or does the phone adjust to longer cycle times when using extended batteries?
Ill have repeat the experiment and see if i get the same results.

This comment was unnecessary. He's just asking a question.
Anyway, it may be a calibration issue but regardless how are you getting your battery to last so long? Do you not use your phone heavily?

Some higher power decided you deserved an ungodly amount of battery life considering two 1800's broke on you
I've no idea as to why this would happen. You got quite lucky my freind!
Just to clarify for future reference, battery calibration has never been and never will be relevant in accurate battery readings. It tracks what hardware and software on the phone have used the battery, nothing more.
Anyway, I don't have an answer for you. The fact that you got significantly less battery from your 1800's as opposed to your recent stock battery experience simply doesn't make sense. Could you have been using one of your 1800's and not realized it? I know that sounds silly, but that drastic improvement from a considerably weaker battery is illogical. I think you're missing something.
I could be wrong though, and for your sake I hope I am. I hate the stock battery. It's horrendous. Trident 3800mah ftw!
I am a heavy user most days. I turn the data off most nights and mostly just use wifi at home. I didnt play as many vids or any games that day but none of that matters most of the time. Light or heavy use and i usually get crappy battery life. The 1800s being the exception. Not broke...i just hadnt had time to charge them..the external charger is very slow..im talking 6 or more hrs for a full charge. So honestly no idea how my stock battery outlasted my 1800s... im going to put it on the external charger and try it again next battery change. Couldve been a fluke.

Obvious lack of a read is obvious. Please, do read the entire original post before making a response. It comes across as rude, and is simply not productive. It isn't necessary.
Thanks!
It was definitely the 1500... the batteries look different and the 1500 actually counts down accurately...was nice having that again for a change. The 1800s i have seem more for the atrix than the x2 or theyr from a batch that just dont report accurately. It goes from 99 down to 1% within the first few hrs and then just stays at 1% for the majority of the charge. So i never know when its going to shut off on me.
The 1500 is charging..so ill give it another go whenever the 1800 thats in now dies.

Mine has done that also, more than once. Doesn't seem to effect anything though. Seems to go away after a battery pull. Weird.
It mustve been a fluke. Used the 1500 again and got maybe 16 hrs. Thats still longer than what i usually got out of it when it was my daily. Letting it die completely and then using the external charger does seem to extend the charge cycle a bit..but thats nothing new.

That big drop off at the end always happens to me when I upload a big video to dropbox or I sync my T-backup to dropbox.
I don't have Wifi at home.
I have seen it mentioned in here a couple times now about "letting the battery die completely" don't you all realize how HORRIBLE that is for the life of a Li-on battery?! these batteries were DESIGNED to last longer and stay "healthier" when you plug in when it gets down low on charge (say 15-5% with 5% pushing it cuz its gonna shut off real soon) tho I do understand it's difficult to gauge when to plug in using a 1800mah(aka Bh6x battery) due to inaccurate readings by the system (it's best to use a widget that will show in real time the voltage left and when it gets low throw it in charger).
ALL these battery "calibration" apps& techniques have been lieing, they almost all day to drain battery completely when that's just a bad idea (not to mention "calibration" isn't actually necessary IMO anyways)

I see those "empty spaces" sometimes as well, usually happens if I have rebooted, pulled battery, gone into BSR , time got screwed up somehow (I set time manually most of time cuz i found using automatic setting seems to make my phone wake up for no apparent reason..if I need to reset time I just check the automatic box for a minute and the time/date goes to what it should be then I uncheck it)

Possibly random process
I have gotten my razr to 125 F, (52C) But that was charging, 4G, netflix, HDMI out, bluetooth on and docked. Have had it at 108F with only 3g, and some games or high power programs.
Also will shoot up to 102 randomly in my pocket (higher sometimes, it was uncomfortable) till I rooted and set a cpu governor for when screen is off.
Just registered here and posting from my tower. My device, droid razr, felt like it was getting too hot with average usage. It is my third replacement since February but that is a long story.
I called VZW tech support and they never heard of such a thing LOL. Anyway, I posted the issue on a couple of forums and learned about a great widget called BatteryLife. It is available at the market for free and happily is not one of those apps that requires you agree to let them have access to everything you own and your first born child.
After installing the widget today I find my device runs at a low of 85 Fahrinheit to a high of 105. At least so far. The widget displays battery usage and current temperature. So one thing I found out was that a device can feel hot compared to our body temperature but be within a safe range of operation. Hope this is helpful.
I took the phone to Motorola service centre and they said that the phone is getting unusually hot. So they took it for observation and said that they will get back to me tomorrow. They said that they will replace it if necessary!!! So hoping for the best!!
Mine has done this a few times as well. Yesterday I was reading with my bible app for about 10 minutes and it just got smoking hot. Wasn't using data wifi or anything. Its like it just shot up in temp. Over the weekend this happened while in my pocket. I rebooted it both times and the temp came back down. I did not notice any force closes or anything running weird. Is there a way we can see what the culprit is? Maybe a logcat or something?

I have to agree about this. Mine has gotten extremely hot atleast to me because of flashing etc..I stuck it in the fridge LOL just to cool before continuing with flashing. While it may feel hot it might not be in danger.
Having that widget is cool (no pun intended ) I've been charging my razr to 100% before I go to sleep.
It was @ 82 Fahrenheit when it began, starting @ 60% When I checked it after it reached the full charge it had gone up to 84°.
Off the charger overnight it had gone to 90% charge and the temperature of the device was 82°.
As an aside, if I use my car charger the temp goes up around 8° or so. I'd encourage anyone to get that BatteryLife widget. You'll know what is going on with your device and if there is a warranty issue you'll be on firm footing to prove it.
BTW, after about 15 minutes on tapatalk my device is @ 96.5° F.

Anyway the service guy said that he will replace the phone if it still has the same problem.

Disable what you dont want to look at for now, and then when the new method comes out you will be able to root. Its very frustrating that i cannot root and custom rom this phone. With that said, it runs really smooth on stock rom.

How long does the battery last you? Can you go a full day with above moderate use (3hrs screen time+) without a wall outlet? I'm asking cause my first full day with it only gave me 7hrs and so when it reached to 20%. That's not too good. I'm using it on tmobile hspa so no lte either.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
it played dead trigger perfectly, took 1% battery from playing for 3 minutes or so. I read the dna's usage battery is 7 hours
i went from a full charge yesterday at 7am to 20% this morning around 11am, I didn't do any gaming I was at work for 8 hours then driving and watching a movie so it wasn't but light usage, but it's supposed to get 7 hours nonstop usage and the lock screen conserves battery like crazy
I guess I'm a little puzzled. I work in an environment where after the drive to work (typically with my DNA plugged in), I work at a desk all day (a lot of the time with my DNA plugged in), and drive home (typically with my DNA plugged in).
Am I the only one on this board who does this?
The very first day I had the DNA, I tested the battery to see how long it would go with my normal use. It went about 5 - 6 hours before I felt the need to plug it in (about 20%).
But, this isn't what is typical. How many on this board actually NEVER plug their phones in during any part of the day? To me it doesn't make sense that anyone would do this. Even for those of us that travel, we can always plug in at the airport, bus station, taxi...etc.
The battery wasn't designed to last us an entire work day, and we have to use some common sense here.

I guess I'm a little puzzled. I work in an environment where after the drive to work (typically with my DNA plugged in), I work at a desk all day (a lot of the time with my DNA plugged in), and drive home (typically with my DNA plugged in).
Am I the only one on this board who does this?

It usually lasts all day easily for me. 5ish hours screen on time and 15 hours off charger.

Mine will last all day for me but I generally keep it on the wireless charger when I'm at work.

it played dead trigger perfectly, took 1% battery from playing for 3 minutes or so. I read the dna's usage battery is 7 hours
i went from a full charge yesterday at 7am to 20% this morning around 11am, I didn't do any gaming I was at work for 8 hours then driving and watching a movie so it wasn't but light usage, but it's supposed to get 7 hours nonstop usage and the lock screen conserves battery like crazy

I've heard disabling fastboot helps some wake lock issues, but idk if thats true for sure...give it a try?
I wouldn't switch to the S3..its a much inferior device when it comes to specs (minus battery life) as it is an older device...
