Ok I recently installed Eclipse ROM on my MMX2 phone hoping it would increase the speed and extend the battery life, but no noticeable change in either of those categories. I use my phone alot and understand that is part of my battery drain, but I have noticed when using my phone to either surf the www or play a game or even talk on it, the heat is almost too much where I can barely hold the phone without thinking i am going to burn my hands.
Today I actually paid more attention to it and took the back battery cover off and it was surprisingly cool to the touch, even the battery wasn't hot, but below that it was scorching!! The heat is radiating from near the speaker cover (my speaker isn't near as loud as my friends Droid-X but that's a different issue for a different topic).
Does anyone else experience this issue with either the MMX2 or the DX2? I assume they are very similar phones.
Thanks!

I have a Milestone X2 and my phone has never gotten hot where I can't touch it. It gets warm when i am playing a game or something. You might have a bad connection with your speaker. Take notice if it gets warm when you listen to something? While charge or only if you are using your phone with a game.
But generally I have not experienced this with my phone. I would let someone take a look at it! I work at a Cell phone store and I have heard of devices getting so hot that it physically did burn an individual. The phone itself did this because one of the servos where not attached properly.
I would also try a different charger...
The only time mine gets really warm is when I'm constantly using wifi. Other than that its cool.
A big culprit of the DX2 overheating is the Flash software. Check to see if you have Flash 11 installed. Others who have had this issue have either removed it or used a previous version of Flash.
Has anyone else experienced this? My friend was checking out the phone and played with the camera settings for a bit (i.e. burst, panoramic, etc). When it gave it back to me, it was fairly warm but I figured that it's normal. However, after being in my pocket for a couple minutes it felt abnormally hot. Took it out and killed all apps via the task manager and it cool off pretty fast. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
I had a similar situation, but dont know if this is what happend to you.
I also had a friend playing with the phone taking pictures and when he gave it back, it was hot. I think what was happening is his house has bad Sprint service and I have the pics upload to G+ and because the service was bad, it was having trouble uploading them. That was my guess anyway, but maybe im wrong.
I'm wondering if I have ANOTHER bad S3. First one never heated up at the bottom but had a bad volume rocker that didn't work. Got it replaced and now this one always gets hot at the bottom. My usage hasn't changed... I'm wondering, is this normal.

I just got my phone yesterday so I haven't really had time to use it. However, when I was downloading all of my apps from the Play Store, I did think it was very hot on the bottom half of the back.
That being said, I'm going to go to the store tonight to get my phone replaced due to loose/clicky home button.
Mine only gets hot at the bottom when playing intensive games like Dead Trigger on max, which seems normal. If it is getting hot all the time on normal use that doesn't seem very normal.
Mine gets hot at the bottom with normal use. :-(
warm at the bottom with normal use. nature of the beast. slim, high powered phone, its gonna get hot
Mine gets warm sometimes on its own with the screen off and everything just sitting in my pocket. Without playing very graphically intensive games though, it won't get what I consider hot. At least coming from my old DINC.

Things like this are a big reason why I'm very hesitant to exchange my phone even though it has problems. You might always end up with one that has worse problems than the first one you had.

yeah mine gets slightly warm at bottom under light to moderate use. doesnt really bother me at all.
It's a powerhouse phone that's so slim of course you're going to feel the heat. If anyone thinks they have a problem with their phone download "Cool Tools" and you can check the temperature live.
I know during easy use like sending a text the phone is cool.
Moderate use like surfing the web or watching a video the bottom half gets warm.
Heavy use such as playing Dead Trigger or Nova will cause it to get hot. But just like any electronic device the more use the hotter the temp. Sadly phones unlike desktop PC's don't have cooling fans.
WARM/HOT IS OKAY! STOP FREAKING OUT PEOPLE!
Mine has only ever gotten slightly warm at the bottom, and never hot or noticable. That was while constantly dropping in/out of service and heavy usage. Other than that it has been very cool, even when charging.
Also those with a case will feel the heat differently as well.. If you have a case you're less likely to notice the heat.
Those without a case will feel the effect more.
Either way too many of you freak out over nothing.
I think this is funny because when the new ipad came out (which i love btw) everyone was writing articles left and right all over the internet about it getting hot.
It's normal for it to get warm/slightly hot especially when using it while it's charging. But really anything after a few minutes of use will make it begin to warm up. Then toss in videos or games and it will warm up some more. As phones get more powerful and thinner the more we will feel the heat. I mean these are miniature computers but unlike laptops or desktops they don't have the luxury of a fan and ventilation system. The heat has to go somewhere right? Every dual core phone i've used gets warm. My Sensation actually gets extremely hot (HTC said it was normal), and my Bionic gets pretty darn hot too.
I returned mine because it was getting extremely hot after only 5 mins of lite web browsing. Back to my S2 or Gnex I guess.
I hear what you guys are saying, but my first one didn't get warm. I don't do any intense gaming or watch videos. I use the Facebook app, instagram, I text and make a few phone calls. The second one gets warm and the first one disnt... Same usage

Got mine yesterday, noticed that it also gets warm on the bottom.
Have one of those belkin cases that covers the rim but leaves the back exposed, so I definitively notice it.
However, as some have said, wouldn't worry to much about it.
OP, do you have the exact same settings as in your old one? Mainly motion actions, Svoice listening for wakeup command all the time, etc?

My temp goes up to a max so far of 34c so I'm not worried..

Got my third one and so far in 3 days, same usage as before and no heating up whatsoever. Same settings, same apps downloaded and all.

Hi all.
So as the title suggests after playing Reckless Racing 3 for about 15 minutes the battery temp goes to around 40 degrees Celsius and after exiting the game the tablet every single time reboots.
Anybody else has the same experience?
Do you think it's a hardware fault and i should have the tablet returned?
Thanks in advance for any input on this.

Mine overheated and shut down from downloading apps for 15 minutes. Well I assume it shut down die to hear. Got very hot turned off. ::/
40 degrees isnt hot

Not Rebooting, just freezin
I'm having something similar to what you decribe happening. After some sort of graphically intense use, my N9 feels warm to the touch and eventually freezes and produces a garbled image on the screen. Forcing a reboot is the only way out. Has anybody has an experience close to this?

Bit of a revival on this thread but I've got this problem (overheating, scrambled image and then reboot). What did you do to solve it (if at all) in the end? seen others say that HTC have a 2 year warranty (which mine would be just in) but then also need a proof of purchase apparently, which I dont have.
I've searched and googled . I cannot find a good fix for the heat issue . I've turned off location , ran cleaning apps , reduced brightness , and others and still extremely hot on power button area while downloading or watching a video . Is there a kernel tweak for this? anybody ?
I don't have this issue on mine

I have same issue. I've had the issue for awhile. My phone gets so hot, that many times it feels like the screen is going to melt. I literally can't touch it sometimes, it is that hot. It actually hurts to touch the screen. Many times it's popped up and had to shut phone off because of heat.
This is when nothing is running. I am completely stumped.
Also lately my LTE is stupid sloe, so I force it into wcdma[4g] only and it's much faster.... How does that make any sense?
Idk I'm getting bunch of problems, that I'm absolutely sick of this phone now. My G4 ran 100x better. So did my G3 and G2.

I've reduced the heat dramatically even at a benchmark it didn't get extremely hot like it did before . Deleted bloat, downloaded the v10 tweak on this forum that tweaks the build.prop and others. Turned off gps and wifi related things. Did alot. Battery life is great with screen off but will drain on average 1% every few minutes with screen on
I have never had any heat issues. Sure it gets warm from time to time. (especially out in the blazing summer sun) but never so hot that the screen will melt.
I'm still in 100% stock. The only strange thing would be recent apps list disappears but a restart fixes that.
The only time mine overheats is when I run Facebook live..
I actually get a message about overheating. Lol.
