So when im playing O&C on 3G this phone get so hot that I can feel the heat even with the otter box case on,the heat is around the top part of the phone,and the temperature reading is 115'-120'F is that because wifi is constantly scanning?..or is it because of the game constantly drain data?

I have this exact same problem I think the reason is because both WiFi and 3g is on running at the same time I think thats why it gets hot

Hopefully thats all it is cause I was goin to return it.& the 3D ac charger push a lot of power into the phone really fast(sorry I don't know the technical terms) and get over 115'F really quick
...I'm now using the iPhone charger,it charge very slow for this phone but it keeps the temperature under 110'F while playing Order&Chaos

I'm having the same issue with my 3vo. I'm hoping this amount of heat will not cause any long term damage to our phones over time.

Ive had this problem when playing games with airplane mode on so I am assuming the processor is the culprit. Just played zombieland usa and my 3vo got up to 110.
Those kinds of temperatures aren't going to hurt anything, i think the auto safety is at 50c or 122f. One of the problems with high temperatures is weakening solder joints. I would say 140+ is the point where things might start getting a little too hot. But the phone will shut down before it gets that hot.

I had the same problem while playing. And also I noticed my phone would get extremely hot while plugged in as well. I checked out a few threads here and figured it wouldnt be a problem. This morning I woke up to a dead evo. My guess is that extended periods at that temp will cause damage. It may have just been my evo as my friend's does not get hot.
I've played on 3g/WiFi for hours on end and my phone has never gotten very hot. Maybe a tad bit,but nothing like what you guys are describing. Idk.

we all know that the battery life is crap on the amaze. It's no surprise. What I've been wondering since is why? why is it such a battery hog. In terms of CPU and ram, it's only slightly higher than the sensation and the sensation has a great battery life. I know the sensation and Amaze are completely different phones and hardware is completely different, but what makes the amaze have such a bad battery life? anyone ever able to figure this out?

Might be the kernel, extra horsepower, less optimizations than the sensation?
I always assumed it was the absolutely stunning screen that did it.

It's the display, it uses too much power and heats up too quickly, which uses more energy than it should, that's just imo though.
i used google maps tonight to get to my daughters swim meet. 2 hours and 29 minutes uptime and my battery literally went from 100% to 35%, no exaggeration. the only thing i was amazed by was how ****ty my battery life is. oh well, 2 more days and this phone goes in the drawer to collect dust

The display for sure since we're rockin' that qHD, now had it been a Super Amoled - it'll make a big difference in terms of power usage. I've set my display to the lowest (helps out battery drainage most of the time) and i've also downloaded JuiceDefender (works great).

with the emerging on aosp roms, we can tweak the voltage that certain parts of hardware get. you never know, this phone might have had a code problem like the gs3 where they accidentally set the voltage too high and the phones battery died like crazy

Maybe you can donate it to one of the developers so they can help improve the amaze for those of us who like it? Just a thought.

Pay 200-300 for a phone to have it for 6 months only to give it to a stranger?
Terrible idea of an investment. Especially since he wouldn't be able to get any benefit since he would no longer own the phone.

I really want to get a evo but I'm worried about the battery life. I do 2 things on a smartphone:
-Listen to music
-browse the web
I do this non stop until the battery runs out. Can someone tell me what battery life/ screen time you get when doing this.

In my experience the battery life on the EVO LTE is great, but it varies more than other phones I've used, based on how I use it. graphics-intensive games and other apps that keep the screen on and run the processor at the same time use it the most. You can do plenty of web browsing provided you keep the screen brightness halfway down, I use the automatic setting and don't notice much battery drain when browsing, but if you turn the brightness to it's highest setting you'll definitely notice more battery drain. I love the 4.7" screen but there's no way a screen that big isn't going to draw a lot of power with the backlight turned up. As for streaming music, that's no problem. I've listened to pandora for hours at a time with the screen off and only seen single-digit drops in battery percentage.
bro i thought the same thing cause u cant remove the battery.. but let me tell u i get great battery life out this phone... i had the og evo and the evo 3d.. and now evo lte.. this phone kicks major a$$!!!!!!

I use mine heavily for many graphics and radio intensive applications, and routinely get 14 or more hours on a charge. GPS is the one thing that will drop me below that. My brother has a galaxy s3 and gets much less.

I for one think that the battery life sucks on this phone. But I only can compare to the phone i had before the droid x from verizon, I could go 24 hours on the droid x but on the evo I get around 16 on normal everyday usage. now suppose I came from the evo or evo 3d phones and had a phone with that drained the power off the phone then I would be saying this phones battery rocks.
but with that all being said 16 hours on a smart phone really is not that bad.
As per the topic, anyone have the same experience? Tips? Is it time to go back to O2 and say "Get this fixed suckas!"
What's your thoughts? All I was doing when it nose dived was checking my settings and scrolling through home screens. Been having this problem for a few weeks that I've noticed.
Thanks in advance.
That happens to me too and also once it was on 30% I used my phone and then it quickly went to 5% and then 0%. Some weird stuff right there.

For some reason I never thought of it as an issue. I felt like all smartphones acted that way when their percentage got low.
Never had it on my One X or my Desire HD. Whilst I realise battery life will lower quicker as the battery level drops losing the last ~15% in less than 10 minutes when I'm not taxing it is pretty ridiculous, IMO

If it was an issue with all phones I wouldn't have been able to get 30 minutes of use, listening to music, on 4% battery during several journeys home before I started having this issue!
I am a new user of HOX+ and I dont know if the temperature is normal or not. I'm using Elegancia ROM and use it only to play Candy Crush or Governor of Poker. My mobile data is rarely on and I often set the brightness level to the lowest. The battery temperature widget says it is running around 43-45 celcius degree, sometimes a little bit more. For me, that number makes the upper back part of the handset (around the camera) too hot and uncomfortable for my palm. Is the temperature normal?
What ROM do you use and how is temperature going?
Afaik its been a common problem. I run Viper XL and my battery goes up to 50C

Well it must be annoying. Ive read some articles about it and the problem comes from the characteristics of Tegra 3 overheating. I think that answer my question about it being too hot. I hope the the hardcase doesnt prevent the heat to go out
I been using for almost a year, it overheated before. In August I gave it to the services Center, when it came back. It doesn't over heat as much as it did. Max temperature so far on my phone is 50c,before 55.

Dang...mine is around 45
Do you measure that temperature when you are playing games or doing whatsoever or right after you turn the device on? Any means or tool you use to preserve the battery temperature?
When i am just texting or browsing it is quite cool, But the heat goes way over the top when I then use it for games after that. I can feel the difference too much.
Is it related to the working cores or something?
I measure whenever I want to. No there's no such application to do that unless you underclock, but lose performance. Take it to the service Center, tell them to fix it, tell it overheats. Mine was first only formatted, then I lied to them about having other issues, so they send it to the company, and they replaced everything inside, when it came back, no more issues. I'm guessing an updated version of the Tegra 3 is released, which fixes overheating issues, so maybe they kept the new one in mine lol

Then i guess its better for the old hox+ to be returned to be replaced
Mine is a gift and no htc service center nearby. I think I have to accept this. Or maybe i could wait for others to post here to see if it only happens to me or not
