I recently noticed that my EVO 3d began over heating at moderate use. The battery isn't what's hot though. It's definitely not software related because it just started to and I've been running this Rom for a week now. Does anyone else have this problem? Or what do you think is causing it?
Mine overheats, too. Especially when I am just browsing the internet or playing a game. Its probably just the screen though, because when I check what uses up battery power in settings, the screen uses up the most.
I had this only when I was using certain ROMS. (i.e. AOSP GB or CM9)
Also, when the CPU is OC'ed it tends to get quite hot for me too.
Since there isn't much info from your end, there's not much else I can say here
Thanks I just found it strange that my battery didn't get hot, but the rest of the phone did. I'll try a different Rom and see if that works
Btw I'm not overclocked. I'm running chubbz Ville c2 port

Exactly what the title says... I tried searching but didn't find anything so pardon me if there was already a thread on this here.
I did some google'ing and there wasn't much for specific info, just sounded like guesses. I read in a thread here if it was over 33c (91.4f) then it was getting too hot, and I also recall somebody saying if it was over 107f then it wasn't good.
Any legit info on this subject? I may contact HTC to find out if they have a range they consider normal operating temp for the phone.
I remember when I got my phone I was playing with the demo in the VZW store and it seemed hot to me. I didn't get actual temps from it but I don't think my phone feels any hotter than the demo phone was.
I sometimes run the phone overclocked, sometimes not. Doesn't really seem to make any difference in heat anyways.
Someone told me 45 degrees C, is too hot, which I think is 113 degrees? (C x (9/5) + 32)?
How are you getting the temp? I have been concerned about how hot my phone is getting also. Spare parts that my Battery is at 43.2 Celcius.

Any temperature you're pulling from any app, is not even the actual CPU or other chips in your phone. It's being pulled from the battery. That said I firmly believe your processor is a good bit hotter than the battery having much experience in computer overclocking and cooling for many many years (see 12+ years hands on experience) so with that in mind, I would have to say...
40* celsius is my breaking point. Once I hit that I basically stop whatever I'm doing and turn off the display to let it cool. It's pretty hard to hit this temp, even on UV/OC'ed kernels, but with heavy radio traffic, screen on max brightness and a high cpu load its possible.
Well my phone is hitting 100+ consistantly. The temp reading I'm getting is from the setcpu widget.
I have been backing off the phone when it hits 100+. I'm running gingeritis 3d and the mr2.5 radio right now. I tried mr2 and some other non-3d roms but its still heating up, seems like its even doing it when at idle.
I may go back to froyo, and even unroot and go back to 100% stock to see if that makes any difference. I don't want my phone to blow up on me haha.
Thanks for the response. I may still contact HTC to see if they have a temp range recommendation for "normal" use.

i've had some problems with gingerbread roms too...if the phone is noticeably warm or hot in your hand for no good reason...it's either an app you have installed running wild or you're phone doesn't like the voltage of the kernel you are running....some phones are more sensitive than others.
what kernel you running??? you can try imo's latest kernel...out of the box it's pretty stable

Lol, I'll tell ya how you get that temp. Have a car that has a broken A/C and a windshield mounted car dock. That being said I have a SetCPU profile that fires off a notification sound whever the phone gets over 44C and underclocks the processor. I usually still take it off the dock to let cool down.
Also, I recall that at a certain point (not sure if its ROM specific), my TBolt started flashing the amber light to let me know that it hated me for heat abuse.
I just want to know if this is a general issue with the phone or if I have a hardware problem.
I got a replacement geeksquad refurbished phone and noticed something. After using the phone for things like internet browsing, reading, etc. for around half an hour, the top right of the phone starts to get hot. When doing intensive things like playing games, it will get hot much quicker (around 5-10 minutes). I noticed that on ICS ROMs like Evervolv, or ROMs with high CPU usage bugs, that area seems to get warm then hot really quickly (2-3 minutes of web browsing).
The battery never overheats. It's just the top right of the phone.
I can't seem to remember very well, but I don't think my older phone before the replacement suffered from this issue. The battery would get warm on that but it never got hot or anything.
So my questions are:
-Is this a general problem with all Evo 3Ds?
-Is this a hardware problem?
-What is located in the top right of the phone that could be overheating?

Getting warm alil bit is normal due to heat of your hand and so on use wise. But hot to the touch burnin your hand due to heat then your having some weird issues.
Phone shouldn't get hot that quick. You on a stock rom? I would throw stock back on with stock kernel toy with it see if it still gets warm..

Its kind of in between warm and hot. Its not extremely hot but gets to very uncomfortable temperatures. Kind of like how the back feels when the battery is around 42°C.
I don't think its being affected by surroundings but since the problem is completely non-existent while outside in cold temperatures, that might be the case. It also gets hotter quicker while in hot environments. The reason I don't think this is the case is because its only that one spot. Also, I don't put my finger there often.

For some reason I never thought of trying a stock ROM...
If it persists with these issues, which it probably will, I guess ill need a replacement.

Just mess with a stock one if it stills happens then it's a hardware issue..
Mine gets pretty hot there when I'm using 4g and wifi tether. Hasn't damaged my phone yet and I've been using the 4g/wifi almost everyday for about 2 months now.
changed my 3.8 battery for a 3.7 and now I dont have the charging/quick drain issues anymore
but my rezound still gets HOT and pretty quick too
anyone have any fixes or ideas?
I'm running an ICS rom...Jolez ICS Sense Redefined-Always Brilliant!
awesome rom...
thanx for any help

Well first off, what are you doing to get the phone hot? Or is the phone just getting hot sitting idle?
how hot and what are you doing like said before... phones get hot its just normal...
it does not get hot at idle just when I am browsing internet or navigaton or viewing videos

Well alright then. How hot does your phone get when doing this, temperature wise?
Your device is defective. Had similar issues. Spoke to htc tech a.d confirmed. I used to run temps in the 120's doing simple apps . New unit is great and cool on most uses. Battery life has doubled too.

Good to know. I can never charge my phone with 4g turned on for more than 10 minutes. It always starts blinking. It would suck to say that my phone is defective. I keep waiting for a fix, but I might have to call this one in and get a new one.
Where does this 3.8 vs 3.7 rumor originate from? I have a 3.8v and have had ZERO issues with heat, what defines hot? Physical heat or CPU/Battery temp?

Uh...last time I checked navigation and browsing the web over 4G will make any phone get hot. Specially navigation. Mine stays very cool all the time, except when doing some decent 4G browsing and specially navigation.

I agree, every phone I've had has gotten to highest temps using GPS. Its just part of computers, everything gets hot after high usage, its normal. If your phone gets too hot, it'll shut down like a computer would or a rezound OC'd.

Yeah, thats not a rumor. Do a search for 3.8v and see all the posts that have been over this. 3.8 has major issues with heat, if yours doesn't consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Also if you do root, stick with the GB roms. ICS roms have problems with charging past the high 80's for battery capacity.

Have you tried another Rom? I remember installing joelz ics sense Rom and immediately started getting heat issues

I've only gotten temps of 101 after hours of use, I've also had none of the other problems talked about.
Heat
When I called Verizon to see what they could do about my Rezound running hottish (gets to 110 after running Sentinel 3; around 113 in navigation; idles in the 70's), I was told that Verizon and HTC have never heard of these phones getting hot, or heat being an issue, but they had helpful hints:
1) If you are streaming, stop streaming for a while
2) Put on a Vinyl case
3) Buy an extended battery
4) Hard reset
5) Realize it is a computer without a fan, it will get hot
So there you have it. Per Verizon, they don't get hot so your initial premise is apparently wrong. jk.
I tested 2 refurbs. First one shot up to 130 almost instantly, and that's when I learned what real heat was. Second one mirrored my current Rezound # 4; idled hotter on side by side, but temperature increased less when running the same apps. Decided to return both refurbs and keep my current.
Is anyone else running into heat issues with ICS ROMs? I recently did the downgrade method and I am S-OFF 1.40. I flashed an ICS ROM and I've noticed poorer battery life, but also my phone gets extremely hot if used for extended periods of time (an hour plus). It seems to only be when I'm on a 3G connection and not when on WIFI or 4G. I've noticed the heat is coming from the top half of the phone and not the battery.
Interesting. I've noticed the opposite-my phone runs cooler and has longer battery. Since the phone is running warm, it sounds like a runaway process or app that is taxing the CPU and draining the battery. You could try Watchdog to monitor for runaway apps. Also, try BetterBatteryMonitor or some other app that tells you what is draining your battery.
Thanks. I'll give those a shot.
Apparently the culprit was Dolphin Browser. I guess the new update that I downloaded around the same time I rooted and flashed ICS is causing the battery drain. Time to look for a new browser.
Try Dolphin Mini and with a CPU frequency switcher, you can specifically choose how your processor will behave.
Okay so I'm switching from my incredible 2 and ordered a rezound and it came like 3 days ago and my 4g sim card hasn't come yet so the rezound hasn't even been activated. So one day I picked up the phone and it was really hot. I thought that was weird since the phones screen was off and it wasn't charging. I just want to know if its normal or not? I ordered a 1980mah slim acesoft battery just in case.
Many people have reported hot phones, but I myself have never had it get above 100. Check to see what is running in the background.
I can get mine to 114 easily just by playing music and surfing the web. Won't go higher though. I tried. And bad signal will cause it to overheat like a mother f'er. I have the extended battery and had 65% no signal, after only 13 hours with 20 minutes screen on time I'm at 37%. Its awful. Never had this issue with any other phone. Looking at the nexus or maxx currently as nothing I do improves battery. Prior I was on sprint with the evo shift. Single core always overclocked to 1.6ghz it was a rocket and only overheated when I really pushed it super hard. But never to higher than 109. This phone is just rubbish. Also to more directly answer your question yes it will become a pocket warmer at times for no reason. Im on slim rom with literally NOTHING syncing automatically. And it still heats up like its trying to do something.

I've noticed with my old dinc and this rezound that they will get hot as the battery gets very low.
My current setup with Newt's One X runs cool on my phone. The only time I see it heat up (105) is when I'm doing stuff in recovery.

same here
Seems like overheating Rezounds are more common than normal. I've never had a problem unless I'm playing an intense game.
If you put a case or skin on the battery appears to get hotter due to heat buildup and transfer. Make sure any case has matching holes the same as the battery cover. Just sayin.
