If I remember it should be. Last time I looked at mine it was 50 degrees.
Oh ok... Thanks.. I just hope the phone doesn't bulge up..

That doesn't seem right at all, while hosting a wireless hotspot for 3 devices my phone doesn't get above 80 F. How how (to the touch) does it feel?
I can feel the heat from the screen and also from the back when I just place my hand over the phone!! It happens when I play games on my phone (angry birds and so on).. And after sometime it goes back to normal..

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.

I just played dead space for 20 min and it got to 41C
I just got the phone from the service center in the morning and it hadn't heated up so far.. Actually haven't crossed 37°c.. The service guy just formatted and flashed the ROM. I have been using the phone normally till now but haven't installed some of the apps I had previously.. So will do that and let you know.
Anyway the service guy said that he will replace the phone if it still has the same problem.

Much better than the 4G? Someone...anyone?
a little too early to tell i would imagine.. i can let you know tomm
but kinda hard to compare it to my evo since i rooted the phone as soon as i could... spend a year with the phone rooted
so of course, the phone was better than a stock evo
i dont think this should be bad, as long as you turn your data off and all those other things you can do to save batt.
of course, at 1st everyone will be playing with the phone, so its hard to say but with normal use it should last as a phone like thing should.. smartphones have never been known for their batt
Ive had it on since I got it and its still alive
Battery life is a lot better than the stock Evos for sure. It is a lot better than the reviews you've been reading, or comments about it for that matter.
For know battery is great for me. But i can really tell you tomorrow if the phone still alive after work!
My bet is that they aren't regular Sprint users and don't see the "4G on" button as some sort of suicide switch like we do....they get sent a review phone to review.
Then they rag on Wimax for a while neglecting that it's in fact a relatively more robust protocol and it's the frequency involved that causes the horrible signal propagation characteristics Sprint/Clear's WiMax has become known for...
...and then they applaud Sprint for getting on board the LTE bandwagon, even though most (who understand) consider it the lesser protocol....even though Sprint's LTE will be high frequency and just as ****ty (or ****tier) as WiMax.
...WiMax with Verizon's LTE frequencies would be amazing...ahem....in theory, of course.

The jury is still out for me.
I took it off the charger at 6:00 (EST) this morning. Sent about 12 text messages, checked facebook, checked twitter (then closed app), did a few minutes of web browsing, listened to a downloaded podcast on my car radio via bluetooth (~45 minutes), wifi has been off, 4G off, bluetooth off after I got to work, and i'm at 70% right now.
EDIT: Forgot to add I use Push gmail and push active exchange from work set to "as mail comes in" on M-F 7a-7p then it switches to once every 30 minutes.
Did you guys calibrate the battery with the charge technique 8hours on 1 hour off and turn on two minutes then turn off and charge for another hour

Is anyone's battery really bad? I woke up to the battery at 830am est at 80%. I took 2 3d pictures and use trillian for about 30mins. My 4g gps and wifi are off and tuned 3d off after taking the 2 pictures. I'm sitting at about 60% and it's only been about 2 hours. Not sure if it's just my phone and if i should exchange it.

Where do I check for this info. This is what my battery usage looks like right now:
4 hours on battery:
Display: 83%
Cell Standby: 5%
BeyondPod: 3%
Phone Idle: 3%
Android OS: 3%
Mediaserver: 2%
Bluetooth: 1%
EDIT: Just saw this:
Uptime: 11:57
Awake Time: 9:46
If I'm reading this right, the phone only slept for 2 hours last night? Is this normal?
Mine has been wonderful. Can't put it down... So my awake time is high. I think there is wake lock issue with facebook for HTC friend stream syncing. I don't use it now, but noticed it yesterday. Apps that were battery hogs on my 4G are not so bad on the 3D.. like word with friends.

I was getting insanely bad battery life, I lost about 50% within 30 minutes. This is what I did to fix it, I applied the OTA (still was getting bad battery life) then I did a factory reset on my device and let it charge all the way up to 100% over night. So far I've had it off the charger for almost 2 hours, haven't really been using it a lot but I've lost only 4% in 2 hours. I can really tell a HUGE improvement.
i let mine charge all the way plus some then took it off the charger and starting messing with it.
as my previous post...ive been texting and doing calls rather heavy while having wifi on and i took it off the charger around 530 600 am and its now 2 here and im at half or so.
the battery is doing well for me. also this thing charges so damn quick.
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.

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.
Lol not sure what happened here.
I left my phone off charge to take a shower at 60%, came out and it was 20%?
Im on MIUI Rom 1.11.11
Is it just bad calibration or something?

Did you also see a significant drop in raw battery voltage?
Most likely the fuel gauge just glitched or reset. 40% in 20 minutes = 2 amperes drain, our device simply can't pull THAT much current, not even close.
Does if really equate to that much? I have seen a few cross ROM battery complaints ND I'm pointing my finger at the Facebook app

Fastest ive had mine drain down is when I left PocketCloud logged into a VNC session. It will run it down close to that fast.
Ya, Id take it off teh charger, reboot and see what it says after that.
When I was running CyanogenMod 7 this would happen all of the time to me. My battery would be at 98% and then suddenly after about 5 min, it would read 50%. I'm not really sure what caused this, but CyanogenMod 7 is the only ROM that I have had this issue with.
I'm now running Miui and I haven't ran across this issue yet.
I did read that calibrating your battery should solve this issue though.
Possibly similar to what a few of us encountered here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325164
It had to have been pretty hot to draw that much current that quickly. It's a 1650mAh battery. It will provide 1.65A for an hour from fully-charged, until it is discharged. You lost 40% in, say 15 minutes. That's 160% in an hour. Or about a 2.6A rate. Nearly 10 Watts. Sammy spec's a 9 hour talk time rating on 3G. By comparison, this means normal battery usage during a phone call is about 0.18A. Think about how warm the phone gets during a call, and compare that to how warm it'd have to get if you were sucking juice at 14x the normal rate.
If it wasn't really hot, IMO, either there's something wrong with the battery or your issue is "cockpit error".
Minds did the same thing today. I think it was from a old theme I applied.
After the theme was converted my phone started acting funny.
The screen started to lag
Phone got extremely hot without even being touched, just laying on my bed.
Phone kept rebooting
I didn't have any of these issues until I added the theme

It did happen to me too, I just added a new theme (GOlauncher app) and the phone has started to get hot without using it, and the battery goes down very fast.
So, i will make this blunt... This non overclocked phone gets hotter than any other mobile device i have tried...
I am already on my second one, after number one hit 125 while sitting on my desk. This one has hit 114, which is still unacceptable really, since the room is climate controlled to around 74...what happens when I use it in the summer??
Now, by virtue of need (infrastructure tether) , I am using the ICS beta, but I cannot believe it will effect it that much. I have a 3.7v battery, so that should be good.. I will admit that I am in a building that does not do well for 4g, but frankly, my phone burning itself up just searching for a signal is unacceptable as well...
I am about ready to throw in the towel and try a GNex, even though its radio problems scare me too...Any advice guys?
what apps are running, also is this while it is charging?
Just want to start with a big thanks for all of your work over on the nook boards. The overheating has been an issue since the start. I am on my third because of it. I only reach high temps when playing games. I can stream movies all day long, and never get over 110. I am waiting for an aftermarket battery that can handle the drain from this beast phone. I guess it depends on what you will use your phone for. Glad to see you here, and hope you stay. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck....

Most apps won't affect temperature in any real way.
Tethering requires broadcasting wifi signal, and equivalently large wifi broadcast (broadcast SSID, and all data) at an equal speed to the ultra-fast 4g.
Now, this 4g phone (as well as ANY OTHER LTE PHONE RIGHT NOW) will overheat if you download a 300-500MB file at a fast 4g speed (like 25 MBit for instance).
Overheat. Untouchable.
Wifi tether (even on 3g) will overheat a phone if you're using a decent amount of data (rather than using it for short bursts).
My HTC Eris, I had to leave the back battery cover off, and put a cold can of soda (with a paper towl in between to stop moisture) to keep it from overheating.
The Rezound will get so hot that you literally can't touch it.
Charging WHILE you tether will make it a lot worse, as the chemical activity within the battery (to charge it) is going to increase heat. Add that to 4g cell phone connection, and the wifi antenna getting hot broadcasting, and you've got a 125 degree phone (which IS hot enough to start breaking solder points).
If you have it OFF the charger at that temperature, you will notice that the notification light is now flashing orange/green back and forth. This means that the unit is overheating and should be shut off, immediately.
Get the extended battery to hang out and wireless tether for a while. It generates a whole lot less heat if not on the charger, and seems to (maybe due to the case that has more space for air in it) not heat up quite as much, in my experience.
Tethering can overheat your phone. 4g can overheat your phone. Add charging to that, and it doesn't matter how many rezounds (or GNEXes) you get. These things have no real ventilation, and there's no indication that they're going to start designing them with good ventilation that I know of.
Good luck, power user. Users like you force them to think about their poor designs and improve them. But it definitely won't handle a lot of 4g tethering without overheating. I'd expect that, without ever even having a Rezound (even though I have one).
They say 130 is the kiss of death for the Rezound but even if you're peaking in that neighborhood I'd swap out the phone for a new one. 120-130 degrees...That's like keeping lava in your phone and hoping it doesn't melt.
I hit 130 with my Inc1, and it was fine. Just navigating, not charging, for 30 min did it lol.
Mine heats up excessively and burns thru battery even sitting idle with airplane mode enabled and GPS turned off (damn Verizon and their location agent they snuck in with the update). The issue here is:
A) I'm not using it nor touching it period for a few hours at a time and its still already below 30% battery without my having used it.
B) yes I have an extra battery but when I try to switch out batteries it goes into a bootloop and won't recognize the Sim card for the next half hour.
These are my problems. I have yet to exchange it cause let's be honest...who here enjoys setting up a whole other phone? Should I seek a replacement?

Back it up to your ext card and exchange. Don't forget to hard reset. They are sending refurbished units with prev owner data out there. Should only get hot when playing intense games or streaming lots data.
I had this heating and severe battery loss problem. There were times my phone would run fine and other times when it would lose 40% battery in 30 minutes. It seemed to be worse when I was moving around the city (changing towers???). I even had one experience where I turned the phone off and it continued to generate lots of heat until the battery died while supposedly powered off.
I tried every stock and rooted GB rom (no ICS) on XDA and a few not on XDA. I finally "fixed" it by RUU'ing my phone to the latest OTA, rerooting and reinstalling all my apps (no TiB). My phone now runs about 16 hours on a charge and only gets slightly warm (never hot) when you would expect it to.
I did a fair amount of reading and never did find an answer but my suspicion is that something between the rom and radio got out of sync resulting in the rom not controlling the radio properly. No science. Just a theory...
Hope this helps someone, somewhere. I know I've gotten lots of help from others on here.
Thanks!
Had many heat concerns/ issues with my rezounds in the past, now have a phone that games at about 115. My opinion after much research is that a 115 peak is about normal for this generation of phones (Gnex, S2, etc). Anything better than this is not the norm and if you get one that stays cooler, it's just luck. I had one that used to get around 150 so at 115, I never even notice anymore. My rule of thumb is to just keep exchanging the hot ones until you get one in the comfort zone. Unfortunately, it's just the reality we're dealing with until they start equipping better cooling solutions.
OK, first I think we need to understand if people are talking F or C when they throw out numbers like 124. If that is C, you have a seriously defective unit. If that is F, that is like moderately hot tapwater, and neither too hot to touch nor hot enough to damage solder joints. If it were, the computer I'm typing this on would be dissolving in my lap.
Welp
I have many a thread out there on this topic. I did 3 swaps for new units during my extended "no regrets" window, and this past week got 2 different refurbs for comparison. Here is my 2 cents (but based on a LOT of research and testing):
1) These phones run hot. If you look hard enough at XDA you will see people posting along the lines of "I don't know what you are talking about, I use my Rezound to chill a beer" and other such. You might be best to ignore those people.
2) There are some VERY bad Rezounds out there, but those are easily found. Those that jump to 130 straight off because they started to download some updates gotta go back. That was refurb 1.
3) My experience is that idling at 75-80 will produce 106 on a short HD game, 110-120 on a longer HD game. You might get 113 on Navigation. It will heat up to 100 on surfing (longer if you have more), but otherwise topping out at 120. If you fit within this, stop your search, and try to enjoy your phone.
Again, just my 2 cents.
I haven't done extensive testing, but I have noticed that when my phone has overheated it has always been when I left something running on it when I locked the screen. I've started hitting the home button every time I put down the phone for more than a few minutes and I haven't had many problems. I definitely get toasty when I play games while charging though.
As someone else already mentioned, the phone needs to get quite a bit hotter than most people are experiencing before it starts having problems. With how small the phones I would expect you would receive an instant 1st degree burn from touching it before the phone actually had problems. 150 C is somewhere around 302 F. For reference, I usually solder 400 F.
My first rezound got around 135 degrees I took it back the next day.

This laptop is running at 120F just looking at this website, and it has active cooling.
Imagine a 1.5GHz dual core PC and then unplug all the fans, including the one on the CPU, and then close up all the openings in the case. Do you think it might get a little warm?
Not only do you have the CPU generating heat, but the more current you draw from a battery, the hotter it gets. And we all know how this phone can draw the battery.

There is something wrong with your phone. I swap batteries instead of charging, swapping out 1 extended battery for another (got them onsale at verizon when they were 20 bucks), and the phone boots up in about a minute.
If it is bootlooping, then I would try a hard reset first, then contact verizon and tell them about it.
As far as the OP goes, if you are in a poor signal area, I have read in multiple places that phones use more battery and generate more heat if you are in a poor signal area.
Swapping this for a Nexus will probably get you no 4g at all.
I wouldn't worry about the phone unless it was consistently getting so hot that the LED starts flashing amber.
My Rezound has peaked at 140 according to System Tuner Pro. I was charging and web browsing as soon as I woke up, like what I'm doing now lol. Was on 3G. Also, I wasn't overclocked at all. Governor wasn't even on performance lol.

lol dude, there is no point in ignoring us people who say our rezounds run cold, because of the fact that there's rezounds out there that don't exhibit behavior like yours.
i've seen all of your threads, and commented in all of them, and you got 3 shotty phones, plain and simple man. my phone never reaches over 100, even with over an hour straight of screen on browsing, facebooking, youtubing, gaming etc. so there, i have a normal rezound. it's from launch day, and it's never given me any problems like that whatsoever.
so no, don't ignore us who have cool running phones, because there IS such a thing..some people just have really bad luck dealing with it.
also keep in mind that the past two phones you got WERE refurbs. you do realize the refurb pool is gonna be full of hot running rezounds, since a lot of people returned the phone due to heat problems, right?
I believe some of the Rezounds get hot due to software issues. My phone will stay room temp and run for 16+ hours on a standard battery while running any GB rom . Once I flash any ICS rom my battery averages 90 to 120 degrees. As it is charging next to me right now, it is sitting at 104 degrees while doing nothing. I could switch back to a GB rom right now and it would be sitting around 80 degrees. So I believe some if not most are software/firmware issues. I am not saying their aren't ones with hardware issues but it can't be all of them.
I have ran the OTA update and am running Senseless ICS.
So , all of yous posting about your outrageous phone/battery temps...I tried to make mine get hot. I went outside in 96 degree heat standing in direct sunlight for 25 minutes, screen back light turned up to maximum, and playing Goldeneye on N64oid. Wow..closest I could get was 119. It was hot, but it was still quite useable. No 125/130/140/150 degree temps. Btw, to be exact, I bought my Rezound online on November 26th last year.........battery life still sucks @$$...
Oh, and Verizon car chargers are garbage...:-B

Sure...but..I just couldnt see a phone getting that hot. How did they hold it without burning themselves, let alone the screen melting... :-O . I was just trying to see how hot it would get...seeing if it would get near those temps..
Trying being a place with bad reception and turning your wireless tether on. and playing an onlien game on your tablet. or charging your phone and using it to play games.

At that temp your battery's already overheating.
If you can get it that hot, I'm sure there are things you could do that would make it hotter. Try talking on it for two hours with marginal signal strength. A 125-degree phone is not a pleasant thing against your ear. And you're most of the way there -- don't think your Rezound wouldn't do it.
Maybe you should run that 119 temp against some other types of phones for a reality check, instead of just comparing it to other Rezounds.

The kernel doesn't like when you attempt to manually change the CPU speed (both up or down) so it overheats. My phone's battery mysteriously died after 2 hours of idling once because I didn't know about it.

Might explain why my phone doesnt wake from charging overnight. Damn thing
The hottest mine ever got from use was 109 F. I left it in the car on a hot day once and when I turned it on to check temp it was at 130 F
