Battery Drain is the same as my first phone, but runs a little bit cooler (gets to about 100-104 degrees). I only used it to surf xda(total of about 30min) and to make calls, so I don't understand why the phone should get past 95 degrees.
Even before I rooted and changed to new RUU on the second phone it ran a little warm just off a phone call (about 98 degrees and the convo was only 15min long).
Do you really need 3 threads for the same topic?
Battery issues. Should I try for 3rd exchange?
Heat and Battery
Going to exchange my Rezound
I think it would be as Apple says... "operating well within our thermal specifications"
It is not overheating until the notification led blinks orange and green...
I must admit I did overdo it with the threads, but I paid 200 bucks for a phone not to just "deal" with the heat issues.

That's the way the phone runs. 105 isn't that hot anyway. Stop making new threads about the same thing, and either pick a different phone, or get over it. I don't really know what else to say.
That's for you to decide..

105 is hot when only running for 30 min
Trying to find one that is perfect is like a needle in a haystack apparently...
You are going to have to use your exchange duration until you find that magical one. Nothing we can tell you will fix heat issues out of the box.
I am not just trying to pick on you... the rezound does seem to run warmer than other smartphones and the screen sucks alot of juice when on.
If you are not hitting 120 you don't have a problem.

I understand, but I wasn't asking for a fix. I know the heat issue is more of a hardware issue then software. I just don't want to have to run into problems later if I just try and stick it out, but anyways I got the replacement and the phone is steady at 88-95 A LOT better. I'm Satisfied

your car heats up really fast as well but doesn't overheat does it??? It gets to a temp and stablizes. For mine, on 4g, it will hit 115-120 if I'm streaming, about 105-110 just surfing the web. It's just the way these phones are. Either deal with it or move on.
Mine never goes over 110, and has only hit 115 once, knock on wood.
105 seems normal.

I didn't know my car heated up fast lol. Ur phone is not mine nor did it stabilize at a certain temp... And no I will not "deal" with it that is why I got another phone that does not have the issue my old phones did. Which proves I had two defective phones, and that the phone is capable of being a lot cooler

I have a RAZR that has gone all the way to 144F. it's been 115F just being in my pocket. I tryed for a rez, but I am geting a refurb RAZR in 3-5 days.
The tems are a bit hot, but if your on 4G it's ok. My s2 avg 90-98f and maxs out at 120F. (You really need to be doing a lot to hit 120F on that phone.)

ive never had the battery overheat issue but the battery life on the rezound is worse for me than my tbolt was. hopefully some future custom kernels will fix this.
My phone never gets above like 85. The only time it is warm is when it first boots up. Give it five minutes and it is cold as ice. Even on 4g.

I'd say 8/10 ppl's Rezound can easily over 100 while streaming/playing a game etc. It seems to be a norm for this phone... While on my Gnex streaming I'm only at like 86.

Hello..I am thinking of retiring my sgs for sgs2..Until a few days earlier i had even planned, when to get it..i have played with the phone on stores and its more than amazing..its so much better than everything else out there, its almost alien..
BUT..For a few days i have browsed to reaserch before i spend that kind of money.And it turns out it has MANY issues..
yellow screens
short wifi ranges
pink photos
rf-flaky gps
battery drains
sudden reboots
and worst of all overheats..
I guess for the most part they "could" be software problems..But overheating is a real worry for me..I live in a country where summers , ambient temperatures easily climb to 40-45 degrees celsius..An overheat combined to that could litteraly melt the device..
So i ask of you , already owners..Is it really as bad as reading about it looks?or is it exxagerations?It is not a cheap device so i should proceed carefuly.Thank you..
Its a dual core so its going to get hot and as it has a thin case will appear more hot .
But its not what i term a HOT hot i would term it warm mostly .
The other problems you mention dont doubt that they exist on someone's phone but not on mine from day one .
jje
I am using my second sgs2 now. The first one I had had no issues except a pink spot on photos. (this was gone after firmware upgrade)
Then the phone got stolen....
Second sgs2 now and everything works fine, no overheating or anything, I would say my old sgs got even warmer at times especially when gaming on the charger.
I would say it depends a bit on your device, but overall it should be ok! Im extremely happy after upgrading to be honest (Hence I bought a second sgs2 after the first one got ripped)

Hello..I remember seeing you often on sgs subfora.I hope you are happy with your upgrade!
Would you say it is like 40 degrees warm?or 50 degrees warm?As i said if it escalades too much on an already high ambient temperature it could fry it..
Also..Do you use a case?I suspect that would make heat problems worse?
I'm planning to retire my 6 months old SGS and get an SGS II!
I know I can't go wrong with this choice ;-]
Hi,
-yellow screens
if my sgsII screen is yellow, than it should be So no problems there, all colors are like they should be. I really like the display
-short wifi ranges
I heard that from a friend, he tried with another friend and iPhone 4 had better range for wifi. Where the sgsII had no connection, the iPhone still could use wifi.
in my apartment I can use the phone everywhere. router is on the one side of the house, bed on the other side (~10m, 2 walls) and it works. It shows 2 of 3 for wifi. So its okay for me
-pink photos
none, I read the post here and tried it out with a white wall, flash and no flash. Bad light. But picture was still perfect.
-rf-flaky gps
GPS works fine for me
-battery drains
its a smartphone, so you need to recharge every day or every second day. Depending on how much you use it. Like any other high end android device.
-sudden reboots
No reboots yet
-and worst of all overheats..
it is getting hot.
but no problems for me.
It's gettin colder very fast if you stop to use it.
But even when I used it over an hour (plugged in) I had no problem with holding it.
Overall I like the phone. I dont want another one
buy it. i love this phone. Nothing to complain about. I came from a decent phone too!(atrix)
Please don't take the general section at face value. I have a sgs2 from first batch with no issues. After any device release, the section will be filled with false complaints.
Most complaint threads will have the most post versus positive threads. Most if not all complaint threads are bs with very few actual members having problems.
No phone is perfect but my device is running great.

Using a case now and it does make it a bit worse, but I havent seen the temperature going above 37 on the SGS2 yet. SGS1 got 42 sometimes. never saw 50 or something like this..
I do have a small problem now..

If I open the pictures fullscreen on this post, I can see some lines on my screen. On full brightness I dont see them, but with lower there are vague lines. I might check if other phones have this to, can some people here check it for me?
This is a minor problem, and I havent noticed it before someone pointed it out. The branding is also an issue if you make it an issue, this is software not hardware so can be fixed.

I've got to 50 before, using google maps and navigation beta simultaneously. It is a dual core phone though, and obviously is going to have a bit of sizzle behind it when pounding the processors.
I'd say go for it, it really is an amazing phone. The so called problems that have been raised are so superficial that they are near to non-existent. e.g. to see the yellow tint you have to turn down the brightness, use a certain coloured grey background, use a camera to take a picture of it, and then use photoshop to compare the colour of the two sides.
Come on folks, really.
I've used it heavily for a week and have had no overheating problems, you can always check the task manager if an application is misbehaving, it even blinks red if it's hitting the cpu hard.

thanks for the answer on overheating mate..your problem is nothing to worry about..its called banding and it exists on all amoled screens...it is more apparent on shades of grey colour..if you use winamp you can probably see it there on the main screen as well..nothing to worry about.i guess the new samoled+ will also have slower burn in time so it will not become worse soon..
i am not an expert in matters like this,but woulddn't it help if we could get replacement back covers made of thin aluminum?it would also ensure that if the phone dropped it would land on its back and not on the screen probably.
Are you 100% satisfy with your E3D? Why/why not?
Had mine for two weeks now...
Can't say I'm that happy. Random reboots, reception issues, and things like my battery discharging even though its plugged into my USB annoy me.
Stickin with it though, I have faith in this thing.
I am very satisfied with it in an "off-the-shelf" capacity. There is virtually no lag, and does everything I would expect from a non-rooted phone very well.
I don't have any of the issues though. No reboots, screen issues etc.
Once it is perm rooted it will be perfect.

Am I the only one with a perfect E3D? I've been reading threads from other site as well. A lot of people had problems. On the released date, I called sprint rep to upgrade. Ever since the day I received it, never had any problem, but for some reason still not satisfy. Maybe because there's no permanent root s-off?

I was happy with the EVO but not Sprint. Sadly i blows in my area (or PR entirely) dropped calls, goes straight to roaming in the first floor of my house, average data speeds or 200kbps and a all time low of 7kbps etc. It wasnt worth the switch from TMO.

For me i am Happy but would be happier if the stuff was better implemented, seriously HTC no Hardware Acceleration for 2D or Browser, They could have just taken the stuff from CM and put in, Also Animations aren't that smooth, when i plug in via USB the screen responsiveness goes down. 3D is something i am loving. Woulf be happier if they had put in a 8mpx camera in there to go with a 5mpx or just 2 8mpx
This phone gives me a boner every time I turn the screen on.
Everything is pretty much perfect except for the green tint thing and I'm hoping they'll fix that with a future software upgrade. If not, it's still not a deal breaker for me.
When I'm browsing the Internet or doing any lengthening tasks my phone gets hot. Sometimes it gets hot in my pocket even when I'm not using it. Today i played a game on it and it was a little hotter than i think it should be. I'm thinking of taking the phone in.
I was.just getting ready to post something like this. I have never had mine get hot while not in use but def during heavy use at the top back gets hot. I'm not sure what too hot is...
I have to add myself to this list....waiting for bestbuy to get some in so I can exchange it. Mine got hot in my pocket as well and was enough for me to feel it on my leg. I called HTC and they said I would need to send it in....I am sure Best Buy will get them sooner.
Also my wife has one and has not seen this issue.
The funny part about when I called HTC was when the guy asked me to goto a Sprint store and have them try another battery......I started laughing so hard at the guy.....I asked him if he really works for HTC. Then reminded him that this phone does not have a removable battery.....
I have noticed some heat from prolonged use as well. Not quite hot enough that I am concerned, but it is noticeable. I use the battery indicator app and haven't seen the phone go over 100 degrees F, which did happen on the OG EVO while charging with the screen on (GPS, etc). Curious to see if this is widespread.
I noticed this also. While using the car app with the screen on my phone got extremely hot. Once I turned the screen off it cooled down. This kind of defeats the purpose of have a car/navigation app... Right?

have you seen the teardown of the one s? you can replace the battery. the term "removable battery" is for consumers to know they have easy access to remove or swap out the battery themselves because its placed on the outer casing. a "nonremovable battery" is inside the casing of the phone but is still easily removed and swapped just like any other part of the phone if you have experience taking apart phones, but the only place you would find a spare "nonremovable battery" is at a Sprint repair center. what you did was pretty rude, bro.

Today my phone got hot while in my pocket. I had other phones do that so I'm not that concern over it and I will most definitely not be bringing it back to Best Buy. People need to be checked out by doctors for OCD.

Piece of cake to replace the battery (with the proper tools). Judging from the video we could be seeing extended batteries in the future. Now if HTC did something dumb like hardwire the battery in then it wouldn't be possible.
I've noticed mine getting warm, but generally when it's being used. Maybe the Op has an app that's not playing nice. I had that happen once on my OG Evo. Uninstalled the offending app, and never had it happen again.
You have a CPU that's running at 1.5GHz, and is dual core. You run it hard it's going to get hot. Combine that with a high current draw the phone is going to cook. I use SeePU to monitor the usage of the processor. Nice app, caught a couple of apps misbehaving after seeing the bar graph for the CPU getting pegged, and staying there.

here is a break down, essentially comes apart the same way....nice! Much easier actually than the 3d was to take apart.
my phone gets warm when im using 3g data but stays cool if its turned off. i guess with the new lte phones coming out that's normal maybe idk?? anyone think that this is a problem worth worrying about?? only reason im concerned is i paid retail and i want a good phone that's not messed up and if it is i still have time to return.

Mine has gotten up to 101.5 degrees. I think it just because it is so thin and the sheer power the device has. My concern is would a case cause one to over heat?. By case I mean one totally enclosed, like a Otterbox.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
maybe the evo really is this summers hottest handset
Mine stays pretty cool,85-90f.Only thing that seems to make it run hotter than that is playing a graphically intensive game like GTAIII.
Mine definitely heats up regularly under several circumstances.
1) Prolonged moderate use.
2) Heavy processor usage (Blood and Glory, Zen Bound, etc)
3) Car Dock. I was testing my battery charger. A stress test of sorts. GPS, Music Streaming, Bluetooth, constant screen on.
I'm using a battery app, and my temps in the car hit 116 degrees easy. (I also live in Florida which doesn't help the heat issue)
I also noticed if I'm playing certain games with the charger plugged in that I'll hover around 100.
I think it's a consequence of the small form factor. I started taking off my TPU case during certain the really hot times to aid in cooling.

My OG Evo got really hot after i first got it then eventually never got past warm. Might be just new parts need to get worn in a little
both my phone and my wife's get hot the weird thing is that you would think the phone would get hot around the battery but it actually gets hot around the nfc antenna
I just want to say that if you have chronically high temperatures and short battery life, you might want to seriously consider that your phone is defective.
I just replaced my Rezound due to an intermittent problem with the touch screen (the problem only occurred when the phone was hot, lol). I was able to port a nandroid of my old device onto the new one, making sure that radio/kernel versions were identical, and all the problems I ever had are completely gone.
I just used the new phone for over an hour. The temperature is under 100F, and my extended battery is at 90% None of this would have been possible with the old device. I'm beginning to count the touchscreen failure that prompted me to make a warranty call as a blessing.
A lot of time and effort have been expended here to deal with this power-sucking heat problem. I don't know if it's something you can configure away, but I don't believe you shouldn't have to. Some people complain that the Rezound is too hot. When others say it's not so hot, I think we just write that off to the fact that everyone uses the phone differently. Well, I'm thinking maybe it really is just your hot phone that's the problem.
I've seen users dump their application list in the search for the culprit. How much time did Scott Crosler spend mixing and matching kernels to find the cause? It had gotten to the point that I wouldn't talk on the damned thing for more than a few minutes because it was uncomfortable to be holding that hot brick up against my head.
There are threads where people compare the hottest temperatures they've observed on their phones. We take for granted that this phone runs hot. Well, it doesn't. Maybe your phone runs hot, but other phones do not.
This is an expensive device. You'll end up paying hundreds of dollars for it by the time your contract runs out. If your phone's running hot, and you've been looking for the source, or if you've resigned yourself to a phone whose use has to be moderated to keep it from getting too hot or running down the battery prematurely, then I'm here to tell you that you might want to swap that sucker out for another one that works right.
I just got my third fix it rezound where people had similar problems. On the most recent phone, it was really slow, I mean really really slow with everything. It was also having a high heat/excessive drain problem. The guy bought two new phones because he wanted something faster. Unfortunately he had rooted his wife's phone against my advice so they were probably identical.
After I received it and saw the phones behavior I understand why he got a new phone.
The first thing I did was s off it, then I flashed a new RUU and did the entire process twice.
That eliminated almost all of the problems, performance wise it was running great. But the battery was shot. It had just suffered way too much temperature abuse. I put a new battery in it and its like a different phone, its rock solid.
I agree with the guy in the first post. If you've been fighting issues like that, and you flash a stock RUU and are still having problems after trying a new battery (as in one that wasn't in your phone back when the firmware was wonky or when you were running mismatched firmware and patching the broken stuff, send that sucker back. Get a replacement, because its an amazing device when its right.

I've had 2 this week and sent them both back. The one I have now is my second one which has a messed up front camera that I got back in February. The first one they sent me earlier this week for over 120 degrees just from charging. That was the first one I experienced with actual heat problems... The second one I got yesterday had a seriously screwed up proximity sensor so I put it back in the mail about an hour later. I sent them an email so we will see what they say I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do, I literally do not have time to worry about a defective phone that I have spent close to 800 dollars on.

You're heat issues sound kernel related. I was able to make my phone behave the same way with a custom kernel.

No the phone I have now has no heat issues. I'm saying the CLN replacement they sent me got super hot just from charging. i sent it back lol. It was completely stock
It was revision A, the second one I got with the proximity issues was an XA, the one I currently have is an XE I got it back in Feb
I don't consider my phone to have heat problems, but others would. It will get to 117-118 on 4g streaming. This has been consistent across both rezounds I've had. If I switch over to wifi, phone doesn't touch 100. I think its just the 4g radio on top of everything else.
Curious to the OP, are these better temps on wifi, 3g or 4g?

Your temps are pretty much normal. Mine will stay around 110 streaming Netflix on 4g which is very good I think. But 120 is supposed to be max but is nothing for this phone

I think it definitely is a hardware rev issue. I've got one of the "good" rev B. phones and I rarely see over 100 degrees in a controlled (indoors) environment no matter how hard I push it. My wife's Rezound is a rev. XA "pink button" phone and it gets hot and does all kinds of crazy things I've never seen on mine.
I should also note mine is overclocked at 1836 while hers is bone stock never even been unlocked.

I am on my third Rezound because of heat issues. I love the phone, but this heat issue has been something a lot of us have been complaining about since the phone came out. Verizon has been good about replacing the phone, but I have lost several batteries because of the heat issue. Once the phone gets to hot, it starts cooking the batteries. At least that was what I told.
I agree that if your phone is overheating, you do want to get it replaced. My third phone heats up when I am watching NFL Redzone. I have not had it overheat like the other phones but it does get quite hot. If I had a complaint about this phone, that would be my one complaint, it gets to hot.

Mine heats up when outside and when using screen at 100, but I live in Florida with temps in the 90s, so I come Indie and cool off. It can do a lot in the heat like for short calls and taking pictures but no angry birds on the beach.

Seems better everywhere. I am doing an apples-to-apples comparison, though. On my home WiFi, the old phone would get up into the 120s with continuous surfing. The replacement phone is almost 20 degrees cooler. It's comfortable to hold, and I'm not constantly wondering if my hand is getting microwaved.
I'm on my second Rezound, and this one gets hot as balls. My original one didn't but I had to get it replaced because the data radio was constantly shutting off due to a botched s-off or it was failing. It will be a year next month that I've had it. I'm probably going to ditch it for one of the Nexus devices soon.
Well VZ sent me some lame email this afternoon apologizing and saying I should get another rezound tomorrow. If this one is messed up I'm taking it to the store and throwing it at someone.
Just out of curiosity what exactly was the touch screen issue you had?
I've felt that when mine get warm/hot the touch screen is either less responsive or inaccurately processes the touch to a different location on the screen.
Is this the problem you (and apparently others) are experiencing?
I guess I'll have to see if I'm still covered to get my four replacement b/c otherwise I really love this phone (as long as I don't go to far from a power source).
A (rezondingly confused) bug
Sent from my subtle and sublime Viperized Rezound.
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!

my note hasn't overheated yet like my razr,razr maxx hd would. I can play gta 3 all day and it stays at normal temps.
Thanks for the reply. And sorry for my ignorance but what'sconsidered a"normal" temp for this phone?

I was sitting out in the cold at a dog park playing N64oid for a couple hours, never could feel any heat from my phone at all. I never have.
Man, I hope that doesnt mean something is wrong with the phone. I just restarted it and I immediately started feeling heat from the screen when it turned on. Are there any ways to see if an app or something is the cause rather than hardware, etc? I'm trying to keep an eye on any apps I downloaded and might reset the phone as a next step...

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

Where did your note made from? What country? Mine came from china and assembled in vietnam.
Ill check in a little while. I tried resetting it and it was doing better at first but doing the same thing again. Easily going over 50C if I'm just in the camera for about 30 seconds and most ither apps. Might just exchange it, even if I get a refurb, and take my chances

I doubt verizon stores would have gotten refurbished phones by now. I exchanged mine last saturday for other reasons and got a new one.
My phone has never overheated (unlike my Razr maxx constantly did), this thing is a beast.can't wait to get my kickstand case.

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!
