Does this problem problem always happens? I'm doubting if buying this cellphone or not. The problem of the heat makes me doubt.
What do you think about that? It happens always?
Thank you for the information.
No Problem
I have a WT19a and I can say it heats up a little just in games when overclocking is done. the battery is around 40 º C temperature. It also relies heavily on the country in which it lives.Here is my country lives in tropical temperature then normal for my living with an average temperature of 30 ° C. . Is quiet because it can not hurt not. The good thing is that he amazes the humidity inside the unit too.
I am very satisfied with my unit.
WT19a GB ROM Original Version 2.3.4
I have Xperia Mini Pro and I also encountered overheat problem. Phone's charging stops at 70% after 12-14 hrs and it becomes extremaly warm, also touchscreen didn't work properly. This manual helped me ^^
But if we us that manual you said, the problem gets solved? or it returns sometimes?
It only happens in "extreme" situtions like games, and big processing? Or overheat happens when you ar in "regular" activity?
Thank you.
On newer smartphones, hard usage(gaming for example) does increase the temperature and it is completely normal, however I have never experienced problems with touch screen.
Long time ago, I also used custom kernel to overclock and then play, temperature went higher indeed(battery was over 40 degrees Celsius), but I still didn't have any problems, even though I didn't play for long time, but only for 20 minutes, to prevent damage to mainboard.
Phone is Live with Walkman WT19i.
But i can see that most of you use the WT19i cellphone. I think i'm going to buy the SK17i. Would I have the same problems?
Thank you for helping me

Nope because I own an Xperia Mini Pro
Sometime,there is a little problem with back button when you have many application running at once.The problem is when you press back button,it delay the back function,example I run many application,then I press back button nothing happen,after 3-4 seconds my phone vibrate and goes back...but I assume this as normal and about the overheat : Every phone does and my phone never ever got touchscreen problem when it is overheat
I have a Xperia mini pro and have no problems related to the touchscreen, concerning the warmth problem it works as expected, and as all my phpnes did so far...then again I dont paly alot aside from emulators...regards

So a friend of mine could possibly be selling me his x10 for a ridiculously low price, which I found out from another friend to be because of (possible) overheating issues because he tried overclocking the phone; and after trying to bring it back down to the original speed it still is overheating.
Before I get into something that would completely waste my money, is there a way for me to be able to fix it so it works normally or would this be something that I should completely avoid all together. Basically, I'd like for some tutorials provided that can help me rectify this problem.
Thanks for any help provided.
its not possible to over clock the phone right now... so idk what your friend did. Also what kind of overheating issue is it? Getting really hot? or shutting down a lot?
Well thats was how I understood it as. And from the sounds of things it seems like it is just getting overly hot.

It's possible it's just his battery that's shorted. Maybe another battery? That or the GPS chip runs constantly... I know mine heats up when the GPS runs at full. I also say try and flash the firmware back to a regular ROM (Without mods).
Those are my ideas. Otherwise toss it in the freezer! haha
Sounds like new need some Arctic Silver, Heat Sink and a 200CFM SUNON!
Its a hardware fault. It will eventualy start rebooting, and after that it wil start shutting itself down or locking... i think its something with the pmu but not sure. If it has warranty send it to repair...

My Xperia started overheating and now its having very frequent restart cycles from several days. Is it a hardware fault in the Xperia X10?
At least on my first x10, it started like that, then only went worse. the first sign was when doing generous amount of traffic (heavy browsing, downloading some apps at the same time...) it started rebooting. After that it started doing it whenever it got network, during calls... even when reflashing.
So I would flash back to stock, then take it a day for a ride with.a backup phone. If it reboots even once, send it to repair...
I'm also experiencing the frequent reboot problem. It seems the best solution I've found was to send it back to SE for repair/replacement. That solution is unacceptable for me, as I spent $600+ for an imported x10a when it first was released, and as such, SE has deemed my phone "gray market" and I would need to pay for repairs.
I love my x10, but $800 for a phone that's still severely outdated and lacking some high-end functions is just not worth it.
I am convinced that the problem stems from a faulty temperature sensor in the motherboard. My phone is definitely not hot to touch, and it seems that just placing it in front of a fan alleviates the rebooting problem.
Do any devs know of a way to disable the temperature sensor either through an app or via adb?
Its doesnt look like bad sensor, but a bad ic on the board or a bad solder point.
For me it ended up getting stucked even on the bootloader, where everything is 'out of order'. The only way i got to reflash it was using my car's air conditioner at 16 degrees... didnt have warranty either, so the board now resides half dead on my desk...
Ouch. Sad to hear. Did you order a new mb or a brand new phone? If just the mb, mind sharing where you got it from and the price?
I bought a second x10 and left the other one for testing and parts... though this x10 is starting to get a little warm too, lets hope this doesnt die too...
The display ous on max, turn it down...that's why it's hot as hell

lol you did just like me i bought another X10 today check my (motherboard problem thread) guys pls if there anything to avoid this problem tell me from now , i have 2 X10 now
I would like to know if anyone have similar issue?
It wasn't as noticeable or i just can't remember if it does this before i updated with wolf cynomod 6.13 v4-v5 2-3 months ago on stock.
But lately, i found my phone shut off itself whenever it start heating up. I got a temperature measure app from market but it doesn't show me what exact temperature when it does this.
For example, after 5-10 min use of google earth, my phone will shut off and reboot.
Is there a way to fix this issue? or could this be an issue with my battery ?
It issue is heating because i have a plastic case with x10 in it, it would shut off 5 min after use with it and 10 min after use without it.
Sorry if another topic like this existed, i did a search and couldn't find any. Maybe i just got the wrong keywords.
yeah i experience the same issue ever since official 2.1 update came out. Figured it was just the phone called SE and they said its not Software issue but a Hardware issue and send it in with Proof of purchase.
My batter does heat up specially when im playing games and have it charging.
i read something about faulty the motherboard on some X10's.
Im never tried to replace the battery if u wanna give it a try and let us know if that helped you or not.
mine has restarted with no WLOD it's just weird but still no overheating
I changed my charger from Stock to the universal SE charger. Then I never faced any battery heating issues
I had the same issue with my Xperia X10. I had bought it from random guy without warranty. But i had luck that guy wasnt bad, and he came after 1 hour i called him, and gave me a new one Xperia. Now when i play 3D graphic games, it heat as hell , but never restart , if u have warranty go to SE and tell them about your problem , they should replace your motherboard and it should work good . Good luck in solving this problem. ( And sorry for my bad english )
I think it is a issue with the battery being able to deliver enough power on some devices. Mine has a tendency to restart when moving around, especially with wifi and GPS enabled. When I leave work, where we have a company wifi, the phone often turns off around the point when I pass out of the coverage area if I have wifi enabled. Wifi off is never a problem. I would expect that if it lost connection, it would try to send at full power to connect to another source.
This never happens if I drive, and plug it into my car charger. Therefor I think it might be the battery that is not able to power my GPS wifi and bluetooth at the same time...
This is a battery issue. Mine never had a problem but my friend's phone would heat up like that and shut down. Replaced the battery and all is good.
Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem with my X10i, it randomly turns off by it self, below are the times in which ive noticed this:
Phone is charging and i am texting at the same time or talking for like 5 mins and then turns off
phone charging and it gets too hot and it turns off
phone turns off when hot generally,
i play a racing game for 20 mins and it turns off.
When it turns off it tries to reboot, it boot it s then turns off again, i have to take the battery appart, wait for 10 mins plug it back in and turn it on.
This gets annoying as it shouldn't really do this and its not as if i put my phone on top of the radiator in order for it to get hot.
Please help
Ps. it did this on android 1.6 and 2.1 so that didnt fix it.
Regards
Well, this is definitely a hardware problem... you should return it to warranty or try and get it robbed to activate insurance if you have one... lol

Hey,
Thanks for the reply, i have also noticed that when the phone turns off it make a small clicking noise.
Thanks for the suggestions but im in greece and i have no insurance cover and the phone was given as a gift so i don't know what is up with the warranty.
Totally a Hardware problem... Just take it to the nearest SE Repair. It'll cost you though.. :\ They Charge really high if u dnt have wwarranty.
Any ideas on which hardware could be causing this? do you reckon it could be just the battery getting too hot? or something else?
You will still have warranty even if it's gifted (through imei )

Oh nice i hope that is the case, i 'm not sure if its been a year though, how long does the warranty cover?
One year. Warranty is for one year and two years on special contract basis if i'm not wrong.
If your phone keeps restarting, (Heating) another issue could be wrong (or high) OC settings (like setcpu to high values) or something. Which fw are you running atm?
Try reflashing to Stock and see if the same thing happens?
I had the similar issue , I flashed it to Wolfs 2.2 switched off the mobile, Removed battery and let it cool down. After sometime it fixed the issue by itself

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLASH, i have seen tutorials but everytime i set my phone to usb debugging mode it over heats and turns off
Have nearly same problems. Looks like you have fuel gauge ic problems, max17040, to be exact. Or Qualcomm PM7540 power distribution ic, which is much worthier. Does your battery level changes sometimes after that glitches, and returns to normal after battery re-installation?

yes that does happened sometimes, the battery is on red and the phone crashes, but then when i take the battery out and plug it back in after 10 mins i get a white bar in the battery so in theory it has more battery than when it crashed.
hello guys ,I have to say i came back to htc because i really love it ,but this time on htc one x + which i think i have choosed the right thing (between a plastic s3 ,with bugged firmwares ,etc ) , After i bought i went to home and charged it a bitt ,then i started to install apps to personalize it more ,etc like a normal guy . After 20 mins my phone started to overheat and the camera was so hot ,i'm afraid to don't fry something ,i know is winter but seriously i didn't wanted a stove ,anyway after a deep search i've found a "Fix" if i say , but i don't wanna use it till i receive more information about it .There's a guide like this
1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
What exactly is doing , and it is a truly fix ? Or my "normal" overheating is normal ?
I'm on stock rom ,4.2.2 android,didn't tried any root or something else to modify him .Thanks in advance
Also i forgot to mention , the notification light is low ,i barely see it when is on charge or receive a notification .
EDIT: oh yay ,now my notification light stopped working,sometime is like a inch of dust and sometime is not ,and only orange one is working while charging ,green doesn't work . Shall i try a toothbrush?
Use your common sense, take it to the service center. My phone used to Overheat, now it doesn't even when playing Real Racing 3 for two hours on a charger

but at least is that "Fix" working with all those combinations ?
There's no overheating issue with One X+ in general, it's just Tegra 3 SoC getting very hot under heavy load. Definitely use Power saver mode to cap the CPU at 1.3Ghz when gaming, this helps a lot to reduce heat output (although it still gets hot)! Also don't charge your phone while gaming (or vice versa)! If you experience high temperatures on normal use, you should check your installed apps, maybe something locks the CPU to high frequencies or causes high cpu loads in background. Also i don't recommend using any app to control CPU frequency, they don't work well with stock kernel and may mess up frequency scaling.
In case all this does not help for you, maybe you have to send it to repair.
Hi,
I noticed my xperia 1 mark III is overheating even in normal use, especially in 120Hz mode. I hope sony will fix it as this device is really scalding.
It really burns!
This is the hottest device I ever had
Software version: 61.0.A.11.23
You're burning up your battery. Time is of the essence, resolve this issue fast. Shutdown the phone if it gets too hot!!!
Auto thermal shutdown may not protect the display/mobo especially if in hot ambient temperatures, in direct sunlight, or when charging.
Keep brightness at 50% or less.
Factory reset.
If that fails...
Find the apks or/and services causing to high drain.
If that fails, return the device.
The clock is ticking, Mr Wick tic-tok...
This is a serious problem. I took some photos and videos (4k and slowmotion) while standing in the sun. Outside temperature was about 23°C (73°F). After about 5 minutes I got an overheat message.
An app that I installed earlier registered an internal temperature of 40.5°c. It felt really hot to (while in a bumper case).
After I put the phone on a granite kitchen table it cooled down in about 10 minutes.

It is serious. Turn off the phone when it feels very warm before it goes over temperature.
Using a AMOLED display in direct sunlight is never a good plan. Limit it to seconds of use.
I have had this same problem since I got it to the point where I got an alert that some apps would be shutdown.
US Version purchased from Adoroma in the states : 61.0.A.11.23
Just another aggravating issue with this phone. Some are having boot loops of a sort also! What is wrong with these companies? Can they not produce a decent product anymore? 1300.00 and it's junk???????????
I am getting overheating as well, a little warm most of the time I use the phone.
Definitely was the 120hz display turned on. Less warm when the 60.
When using the wireless charger.
Anytime I use the cameras.
I am on the latest update as well.
Hm, very intriguing issue with $1300 flagship smartphone from such a respectable brand. I had similar problem with Xperia 1 II in several occasions. And... I think I know what's the problem (not bloody hot SD888 as you might suggest!). Please have a good look at dissasembly video:
Then compare it with $390 LG V60 ThinQ disassembly video from the same guy. Spot the difference! And it is - missing cooling system on Xperia 1 II / 1 III whereas LG V60 has quite big copper vapour chamber! Maybe that's why my LG V60 never gets really hot. So the question is ... WTF are you doing SONY?!
Well, I just sent back my first Pixel - 5A - for overheating. I have been watching the 1 iii and the 5 iii as a possible purchase...but I am turned off by the dedicated assistant button that might possibly be remappable... but for sure I will NOT buy either of these mark 3 phones if they overheat! Makes me sick just how badly most new phones are functioning.
Yeah same, it seems to turn off randomly when using the cameras and when 120HZ screen is on.

I think it's the case for warranty replacement or even return if possible. This is one of the reason why I don't buy expensive brand new phones parallel imported (not officially sold in my country). Just because it means no proper warranty, no service, no nothing.
My Xperia 1 III is getting extremely hot even when taking photos (only 2-3) then get message about hot temperature and apps shutting down.
I use Streamlabs mostly (sometimes Prism) to broadcast to YouTube, foundthe phone almost useless! Overheating in seconds from start of s stream! I'm using my old Samsung Note 10 again as Sony wasn't simply useful.
Now I found a solution to it (sorry solution is too big word)
- I've turned "object tracking" off in camera
- I've turned autofocus on in camera
- I've turned 120hz off
Today we had hot day here in UK (27 Celcius ) I did my tests.
Streamlabs at 1080p , 7000kbps , 30fps run outdoor for about an hour smoothly. Connected to charger started to overheat.
Not to mention that tethering makes it hot quickly (so with Samsung).
Prism at 1080p 60fps run smoothly for couple of minutes and then crashed.
Didn't connect the charger.
I use Streamlabs to transmit 5-6 hours of stream into YouTube using mobile network in most if the times and whilst driving (so changing stations constantly)
I found that using WiFi it doesn't get as hot.
Also charging makes it very hot - SONY advertised it as able to by powered directly by a charger without charging battery, how and where do I find that option?
Is it available using car charger with quick charge 3.0?
I like the phone , like the shape , size and feel to it. Camera is OK (I own Sony a6500 )
Hate the fact of poor selfie camera in such expensive phone (I do live streams using selfie cam too)
Right I've ordered a return of my phone and have 30 days to send it back what alternatives do I have? Really like the SONY if it wasn't overheating I'd love it. Is there a solution to it? Cooler anything?
The things I like about the phone are:
*shape and overall feel in hand
*Cameras are ok don't really see if they great quality or not will still use my a6500 camera.
*Like the fact that can use sd card
*Love finger print reader in power button and seperate camera button
*like the fact that there's no rounded edges - hate them in my Samsung Note
I blame my problems with overheating by poorly made apps not the phone itself and not sure changing the phone will change it.
What are the options should I consider? Samsung S21 Ultra ? iPhone 12,13?
I'm a SONY fan and had many if their phones and that's why I'm looking for a solution otherwise would send it back straight away...
Can anyone help me with my problem?
Many thanks
Bart
Unfortunately greedy sony didn't provide any cooling solution to mark 3... Check disassembly videos, there is no any cooling solution at all, like you will find in asus - small vapor chamber etc. Literally nothing!
They knew snap 888 is overheating. They must have tested this device before releasing it, isn't it?
But no, still didn't apply any cooling solution. And that's a big shame and huge problem of this device.
Not sure if qualcomm provide any updated drivers to assess this problem or not. Or if sony will try to fix it. So far they did nothing and still it overheats. Mine too and you are right by saying that on 3G/5G it is hotter than on wifi.
I wonder how they can market battery as capable and better for 3 years with such hot device. Temperature of course has huge negative impact on battery longevity.
Sad but true
I'm quite shocked! Thanks for the info about disassembly videos...
I'm thinking if getting a cooler which you attach to the body.
What I forgot to mention that cameras itself (the lenses) don't get that hot is the area under them and closer to the centre. So must be processor and lack of cooling system.
Not sure what to do...
We have a hot weather now so I will test it intensively (if I was a Sony tester I'd never allow for the phone to be released like this).
Heating problems is why I keep saying that for any SOC/CPU/GPU manufacturer to keep upping the speeds of these things is STUPID! I can virtually guarantee that from now on every new CPU produced by all OEM's is going to overheat! Have you ever walked into a data center, with hundreds of servers running? You have to wear ear protection because the roar of all the internal cooling fans is deafening!
So then "we" attempt to put similar CPU's inside a device the size of a small remote control WITHOUT a fan and wonder why it overheats? There are only so many ways to keep the phone(s) cool. Use them while frozen solid in a block of ice, or better yet, stop running so many CPU/GPU intensive apps all at the same time. It's simple thermodynamics at work here. The more you have running at the same time, the harder the SOC needs to work, the hotter it is going to run. Another solution, that is literally unacceptable to most people, is to code in a lowering of the speed of the SOC. If this needs to be done then it becomes very clear that building a new, faster SOC every year is STUPID!
One more thing... I've heard that Xperia 1III is capable of powering the phone directly without battery charging to lower the heat...Does anyone know how do I turn this future on?

Thanks a lot , tomorrow I will be testing - doing long live stream on YouTube using Streamlabs, I always keep my phone under charger as I drive HGV sometimes for 3-4hrs non stop so battery would die.
It also going to be hot day here in UK and having the phone close to windscreen won't help - I know I shouldn't complain about overheating in such circumstances but my phone overheats even when taking photos although I have a feeling that after last system update its looking better , also as I mentioned before switching off object tracking has improved how smooth camera works using Streamlabs and Prism.
I'm considering buying a cooler for my phone too.
I will post my report tomorrow of how it went.
Many thanks

I found the future now in Game Enhancer app, you can power it directly. Not sure how it will perform yet. Tomorrow will send my report.
I often run streaming app in the background and not sure if Game Enhancer will work that way. I run nav app (Sygic Truck).
Heat problem has gone down significantly for me after the latest update yesterday. Usually the phone got really warm even with me just browsing using Chrome or going through Facebook. Now even when playing ROK or Mobile Legends it doesn't get that warm.
