I have noticed on my device that when you run the wifi radio and turn on the blue tooth that the blue tooth will not operate or atleast not operate properly. However if you turn wifi off bluetooth works perfectly fine. Just appears to be a conflict when both operate together.
Also has anyone figured out the overheating issue with the radio during extensive use? The phone will stop charging when the radio heats up to much from steady use. IE tethering or sprint TV.
keep the phone cool...

I keep the phone rested on a bag of ice. But this is rediculas, there is no call for a user to need to keep there phone resting on a bag of ice to use it.
Umm, just an FYI but the PPC 6800 does the same thing when actively using wifi for a long period of time. It will overheat especially if the keyboard is NOT extended and as a precaution, it will stop charging the battery.

It has been lightly said this is so, but in a yr of use and 6 ppc6800s I have been unable to replicate any of the symptoms.
the problem is this phone is on tiny and you have those radios and the processor running nonstop, things will get hot. i have not experienced those issues and i use wifi at the house due to me being on the fringe of cellular service. i also use BT at the same time... not always but i do use both, and the only thing i have noticed is the phone will still charging but that is exactly what the phone/battery is designed to do so thats not a bug and i dont think you are experiencing a bug..more likely just the results form the device getting hot...
not much you can do other than to keep the screen off when you can and try and keep the device cool...

I do understand that this is to be expected with that much going on. However, I'm on my 2nd touch pro because the first got so hot it wouldn't charge, not only with wifi use but also long telephone conversations. My current TP they sent me gets hot, but not THAT hot, and has never stopped charging. Some of the phones are simply better built than others at this point. The quality control over at HTC is really missing the mark.
There are a couple threads over at PPCGEEKS about this issue.
That being said, I love my TP and look forward to great use out of this baby.
i hear you but when Li-ION batteries get too hot they will stop charging. thats not a BUG but a SAFETY FEATURE. if your current device has not yet stopped charging then the battery has not gotten so hot as to make it unstable. i also agree some phones are built better than others--thats the cost of mass production.. cars (lemon law anyone?) and other items that arer mass produced folow the same suit....

It's not the battery getting to hot, the battery stays cool. It is the actual physical device over heating from the radio in the top portion of the phone. The phone itself overheats not the battery and it stops charging as well starts flaking on its wifi and BT capability's.
the electronics in the phone and baattery have thermistors that register the temps. if the environment AROUND the battery is past a certain temp level, all charging stops. again this is a part of the setup of devices that use Li-ION. if the device continued to get hot and continued to charge/maintain the battery power level, that could cause sreious issues if nothing is done about it.
again, sir, that is NO bug. its a shame the phone is so tiny--this makes it difficult for the heat to go anywhere--but keeping the keyboard open could help somewhat..
not trying to bust ya bro.. just pointing out some information...

Yeah, the safety feature that kicks in with charging the battery isn't a bad thing at all. Annoying, yes.
For what its worth I have done a little reading and this isn't just a TP issue. I think any phone with that much under the hood and being that small is going to have this issue, for now anyway.
Check out what people are saying about the G1 being hot

cforster,
i have always said that--re: the phone is so tiny with all thats going on inside that the heat has no where to go.
i remember overclocking on a pentium 3 400mhz to about 700mhz, that thing took a HUGE heatsink, so then i think my phone has a 528mhz cpu in it, and it probably doesnt use a heatsink at all, probably just a single layer of aluminum to spread the heat so i can't complain...my phone gets hot when wifi and gps run while im driving, i wish it wouldnt stop charging but it does, i just have to hold it in front of my a/c vents for a while and the charging re-starts where it left off
Guys, i've seen this happening even with my iPhone. When i put it in the car stand and the charger is plugged it will stop charging after a while because i have hot air from the vent blowing on it.
Any phone with a Li-ion battery in it will have such a fail safe mechanism cause you REALLY don't want that bat the catch on fire.. The industry as a whole has already had plenty of problems with Li-Ion batteries..

Shame to.. because I would use the wifi all day at work if I could keep it cool.. best thing I have come up with is a small ziplock and putting ice in it and setting the phone on top of it.. leaving the keyboard out doesnt help..
I purchased a Droid RAZR on the day it was released and it has been running just fine. As of right now I am satisfied but I ran into something that worried me slightly.
Earlier today I had my phone in the Kickstand case/belt clip and hadn't used it for about an hour. When I took the phone out of the belt clip it was scolding hot. Battery, screen, all of it. I regretfully didn't have something to monitor the temperature to check what it had gotten to, but it was nearing pain just to hold.
Has anyone else been running into overheating problems with their RAZR of this magnitude or does anyone know any cause/solutions? Any input would be appreciated.
Sounds like you had 4g turned on and a lot of activity going on
also sounds like it got hot, i did not "overheat".
My razr gets warm in the case too... Does your case have a magnetic closer thing? Mine does and I am wondering if that is playing a part as I know old motorola droids (Droid 1 ) would not play nice with magnetic cases.
Mine has never been got hot. Not even warm...
But I've heard that many of you are experiencing problems like this so, maybe, it's my device the exception.
P.S.: Always running in HSPA+ with data connected. It got a little warm after 30 minutes of playing on WebTop (on my ATRIX LapDock)
I noticed this today. Went without my otterbox on an after 10 min of listening to pandora the thing was almost to hot to touch. Going to exchange this.

No it does not.
And there were not a lot of activities going on. Up until that point I had made a phone call. That was it. And I checked to see what was active and there wasnt aanything that shouldn't have been.

Mine is XT910 and it is kinda cold even after surfing HSPDA+ for 15mins. The 4G LTE radio in the XT912 aka Droid Razr should be the cause of this issue. I believe they'll roll maintenance updates soon enough to fix this kind of baseband issues.
My device too has been getting hot. I have the Droid Razr. It will overheat with no case, weather i am streaming in 4g or not. constantly losing 4g connection. also once it is over heating it will begin to powercycle. I have also noticed now due to the over heating the kevlar backing now has a huge air bubble underneath it where it has come detached. you can run your finger across hte bottom and just hear the popping sound of it moving around.
Check in Display Settings if In-Pocket detection is ticked. You never know. It is an active process if ticked.
For the past couple days I've noticed when I am in bed I've been using my fiance's EVO 3D charger and it's been heating up the screen pretty good, hot enough to really feel it on your palm of hand, not warm, i'm talking hot. I unplug it, shut it down and within minutes it's cool again.
is this an LTE phone?
I noticed the phone get hot (noticeably hotter than expected) the first day of use when I was hammering LTE and opening/closing things. I didn't use LTE a lot after that. I used the (google) navigator app in the car for a good 11 hours straight and it barely got warm but using 3g.
Since then, I've installed the leaked update which contains a new radio and updates the os to 2.3.6. I've been running 4G and It hasn't been anywhere close to hot. It might get SLIGHTLY warm while downloading/watching some youtube vids but it seems much improved.
No such issues with mine. Scolding hot? You sure you are not exaggerating a little?

Man, Razr has a high voltage battery..... dont ever try to charge it with another phone's charger,,,,
you can charge via laptop.....
My GSM RAZR does get hot, but after about 20 mins of browsing the net + chatting + fb all using 3g....get worried at times...but it goes off. just hoping for my back cover not to bulge, like some has.

Just how 'high' do you think the voltage is on the battery? I have used various chargers and they all work fine.
I had to echange my Razr after 2 weeks because the camera kept freezing but 4-5 times I would feel my pocket get hot. It was very hot and would partially drain the battery quick. Only have 3G in my area. I would reboot it and it would cool down.The new Razr has always stayed cool.
I've had similar problems in the past with my phone randomly becoming extremely hot and the battery dying within a few hours. I eventually downloaded an app called Android System Info on the market. It will tell you exactly what processes are running and how much of the CPU they are using. I found out that a process named android.process.media was starting and hogging 70% or more of my CPU at random intervals. After some research I figured out this was possibly caused by my phone attempting to sync with the media on my micro SD card and failing, but continuously retrying.

Disregard that message as it is ridiculous.
If the Razr couldn't be used with a standard micro-usb charger then they would have put a proprietary charger port on it. And secondly, even the cheapest plug-in charger has far more juice than what a laptop USB port provides.
When I first received my RAZR, it too became very, very hot at times. Uncomfortably hot. To the point where I feared for internal components. On the plus side, some of those 'black blotches' under the screen seemed to disappear.
As above, narrowed it down to the media scanner. Solution was initially to use the phone without an SD card, but that was hardly a long term fix. In the end, I rooted, froze the terrible Blur music app, hid as many folders as possible with .nomedia files, and used the feature of PowerAMP that disables the system media scanner for its database.
Have not had the same problem on 2.3.6 firmware, thankfully.

Decided to try to call Verizon and again inquire about heat. I was very specific in the inquiry ... basically that I was just checking to see if Verizon had any notes about heat, now that the phone has been out for a while.
The CSR said she did see something about exchanging batteries and would pass me on the tech support as a warranty issue.
The tech support person, after a seriously long hold time, said she reviewed the Verizon trouble database, checked with a teir 2 analyst, and even called HTC.
Not surprisingly (once HTC was involved) she came back with:
1) We recommend people with heat issues use a Vinyl case to help with heat [I guess Vinyl has heat-dissipation capabilities I was not previously aware of]
2) Hard reset the phone
3) If you are streaming and your phone gets hot, stop streaming for a while
4) Buy an extended battery [did that, still gets hot]
5) This is a very powerful processor, so it will get hot.
#5 is the key. It means"we have found the excuse that will get us out of this".
The tech rep said she saw nothing about battery exchange. She acknowledged MANY internet reports about heat, but said that Verizon can only do what HTC says they can do; and that hopefully HTC would take all these reports and develop a software fix that manages the heat better.
So no joy from Verizon, which is killing me because I really want to unlock and root, but am staying away in case the phone is no good. Of course, for all I know, I don't have heat issues, but too many people saying things like "I never go above 105" have me paranoid about my phone (which can get to 115 in regular game play, and once got to 120 in a car). If I knew that "Relocked" wouldn't be an issue if I ever had to warranty in the future, I would go ahead, but ... ugh.
Anyway, in case anyone wanted to know.
Damn talk about a run-around. Normally my phone doesn't get warm until I really start using it...for example...One day just cleaning up the house and streaming Pandora for hours allowed my phone to get fairly warm.
It's never shut down on me or anything but it still is worrisome. Makes me wonder if there is an issue with all these phones but not many people REALLY use them to find out.
Well
My phone has never rebooted on me, and perhaps too many people claiming their usage never gets the phone above X degrees is simply too specific to each person to actually mean anything to anyone else (and all these stories have done, is F'd with my mind, making me think my phone runs hot when maybe it actually doesn't) ...
but, I'll tell you this ...
This is all well and good for a phone released in November. When summer rolls around, and the ambient temperature is no longer low, I think we are going to see a lot of problems and fast. If the standard user gets to 105 in a room that's 70, that means the standard user will start seeing 135 when it is hot out. Those that can get to 115 right now, that's an explosion waiting to happen come July.
I have had two Rezound's. I stream audio all day long at work, either iheart radio or sirius radio online.
Both these services cause ANY phone to get rather warm. I'm not sure what temp my first one went to, but it got so hot in my pocket I thought it was going to burn me. Even using a 2750 batt it was going dead in like 4 hours.
The phone was two weeks old. I called VZ & they wanted to send me a refurb. I told them NFW & they finally agreed to send me a brand new phone. The new phone barely gets warm in the same conditions & that same 2750 battery lasts all day now.
My phone on average use gets about 100-105, 110 if the screen is on and on full brightness for a while. Highest I've seen is 125 when I was using an MHL adapter for over an hour, then the phone shut down. Other than that I haven't seen any shut downs related to heat. I do agree though that come summer, this IS going to be a problem, but hopefully by then they'll have figured out a way to better manage heat... I hope.
Ya know, I think people are losing sight of the fact that the power of these cpus has increased dramatically in only a couple of years. I'm typing this on a dual core 2.2GHz lenovo laptop that has cooling fans, and is running 109f doing very little. Why should we expect a dual core 1.5 jammed into a metal and plastic brick without vent holes, much less fans, to run cool?
Well ...

I agree with that no issues. I suspect a lot of my concerns comes from various people at XDA saying "I stream 1080P while playing Reckless Getaway while listening to Pandora over 1x while on the telephone and my phone never gets any warmer than 32°F/0°C".
Unfortunately, without someone with one of those magic Rezounds standing right next to me, running the same game (for example), there is no way to REALLY know if a phone is operating normally or not.

I welcome this problem coming in at summertime as they may be forced to replace my rezound with one of the new quad cores or somethin.. dont get me wrong I love this phone but if a defect got me the latest/greatest I'd be all over it..
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.

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?

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).

Hey everyone. I literally just got my G5 in the mail a couple hours ago and went through the setup process. It was plainly obvious that the phone was really hot. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know if this is a common thing or if it may just be my phone....
My LG G5 is not received.So I don't know.When I get it,I will answer this.
Mine gets a little warm after heavy use and while charging, but I wouldn't call it hot. Try pulling the battery and see if the battery is causing the heat.
Mine also got hot during the setup process. I was adding my gmail account and fiddling around with it while it was charging and it got noticeably hot. Haven't had a problem since then.
I was playing with one in the ATT store and it seemed to be getting warm on the back just to the left of the fingerprint reader (if looking at the back). I wouldn't say it was hot, just warm.
Most phones heat up a bit during setup, just like some do during updating. I'm guessing it may be a little more noticeable with the metal design.
Verizon unit here and mine was also hot when setting up but quickly cooled down. I will add that i did not have my phone plugged in when setting it up.
Mine was really hot during the setup process. If I'm doing nothing with the screen off, it's cool. But doing anything with it, generates more heat than I would like. Taking photos feels like I'm holding a hand warmer.
I read LG isn't aggressively throttling the CPU like Samsung so at this point that's what I'm assuming is going on.
It would be nice if there was a straight forward way to compare temperatures objectively instead of subjective descriptions like warm, little warm, hot, too hot.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it happens after your initial device set up. Normally with the LG's I've noticed that they get hot during a first boot and setup. The only other time I've experienced it like that is if I'm playing a game or on Skype.

after setup, (not charging) installing all my apps it got warm but not where i would have to put it down.
it seem that this phone have a lot of problem............... should i go pick up my package?
Verizon user here. I didn't notice anything warm during setup but I noticed on my first test call that after about 10 minutes it was getting warm to the point of being uncomfortable. I've a text message restore running for about 10 minutes now with the display on and the phone is cold to the touch. Not sure what may be causing the temp variances. An unlocked CPU sounds plausible which i'm kind of okay with. Has anyone notice poor call quality. According to the person I was talking to my voice would go through periods of crystal clarity and inaudible garble. Not sure if it was on my end or theirs. I'll return with updates.
Got my My LG G5 from T-Mobile... After 3 days the phone has been overheating, and every 10 seconds it drops Mobile Connection...I went through a plethora of tests with T-Mobile Support and they determined that I need a replacement device...so waiting for the replacement...One other thing, I notice this happened after calling T-Mobile to Unlock the device...So not sure if there is any correlation between my issue and T-Mobiles Unlock App, T-Mobile said the two were not related.
I did factory reset and left for 10 minutes after first boot then setup my credentials and left phone on WiFi for 1 hour before I did start downloading

The only 2 times i had the phone get warm was whdn i setup it up and when i tried to film a 4k video while charging it and it caused the phone to stutter and even the clips stuttered.
I think there are communication problem here, when people mention hot, how hot is it, as different people defines them differently, I know my friends phone is only warm, but he just say hot.
all the LG phones i heard get HOT or overheated. this has been happing for so many years, nothing new.
i notice this 4 years ago with my LG phone. i thought they would have fixed it by now.

I had the V10 for about 4 months, only get s warm, not hot.
Setup no heat, installing all apps for 20 mins no heat. Lots of photos not heat. Not seeing an issue with over heating
