When should I be concern about my HTC one when it gets hot
Can't tell you the point to where it's bad but I know I got mine up 120 and it's still usable but I think that's really hot.

Well my One reaches 105 degrees when charging but it stays between 98 to 103 degrees
I think its common sense that when it gets really hot, to let it cool down and not overwork it. Otherwise, the internals are in jeopardy of frying. I read somewhere that it's bad for the battery when playing intensive gaming while it's charging and the phone DOES get really hot then.

There are safeguards in place to prevent it from getting dangerously hot. In particular, Lithium polymer cells must not be allowed to overheat from charging or over discharging. Most of the internal phone components will have SOA temps far higher than your pain tolerance of holding! Of course these components are TINY and not effectively sinked to the chassis so indeed in case of catastrophic failure high temps can be realized quickly. In simple term of the laymen: it lets out the magic smoke!
In practice, the aluminum build *should* allow for better heat dissipation verses a resin frame/enclosure. It could be said that a metal phone would be ok to "feel" hotter than a plastic device due to its more efficient transfer of heat.
Leaving a device sit on a dashboard in the sun is a good way to do perm damage to the battery!

Over the past month and a half that I have had an atrix I have noticed that my atrix has burnt me several times. I have it in my pocket and it just gets really hot. It doesnt seem to be the battery as the entire phone is very hot. This has been happening even before I rooted my phone. It burns me through the otter box. Im reluctant to take this back to at&t as i would have to unroot it. Are other people having this issue?
If its ridiculously hot, as it seems it is, thats not normal and you should return it ASAP. Also rooting would not affect heat output in any way.
One, wrong section.
Check a taskmanager when it starts running hot. Find out what is pulling so much processor load to create the heat.
I had this problem, took it back for replacement, then had the same problem on the new device. It turned out it was the Exchange sync causing the Motorola.services process to run constantly and kill the battery.
I solved it by changing the Exchange sync from push to every 15 minutes. I also do not use any sync with Google (mail, contacts, or calendar). My battery life is unbelievable now and the device stays cool 90% of the time.
Wasn't crossposting restricted in this forum?
Ha. Excessive heat. Buddy at least your phone doesn't have a aluminum battery door. Try touching that when your phone is being overclocked @ 1.5 ghz.
But essentially something that is syncing often is causing your phone to use the radio alot. And since its in your pocket there really isn't any airflow to cool it down hense the phone will generate heat.

Hi all!
I hope my post will help other people like myself that ware looking for information regarding this issue:
I installed TempMonitor and followed the teperateure of the device. There are 2 temperatures to measure: CPU and battery.
I will elaborate my findings:
1. CPU temp at rest without sync (push mail turned off) is 28-31C after a while (depends on the room temp).
In slight effort the CPU temp can get close to 50C but normaly is ~40-45C
It seems like the CPU temp is not that important and only when the CPU is running hot for ~10 minutes you feel the heat and it starts to get annoying. Notice that in this point a lot of battery juice is drawn.
2. Battery temp is also ~28C at rest. It gets up to 35C on ongoing effort. Since it is very large (1920mAh), you will feel the heat. I think that the battery is the main heat factor in the device and the CPU and graphic engine running in addition to the battery getting hot will cause the entire device to feel warm or even hot.
3. I noticed that at the beginning, one corner of the device (lower right) got REALLY hot and REALLY annoying at times. After 2 weeks, the heat spread became more bearable. I think it has something to do with the battery "setteling in".
4. Running apps that constantly check for updates and even push gmail, will cause your phone to run 1-2 degrees hotter and the more apps you add the hotter the phone will get at the resting state. Hence, when starting other apps it will get hotter and faster. even PowerControlPlus which is a very simple widget gets the deviec ~1 degree hotter on idle.
5. As the battery gets drained, it emits more heat. Try to charge your phones and not run battery draining apps when the battery is less than 30% or even 40% full.
I will comfort you all by telling you that I have a few friends with Galaxy S and Vibrants and their devices get hot too. A bit less on normal use like browsing but pretty much the same on 3D games and such.
I hope I helped because I was really frustrated by it for the first 2 weeks. I hope it will keep improving. I also purchased a case and hopefully it will help with the heat spreading around the phone - will update.
Please install Watchdog from the market to check if a process is acting crazy.
In my case it was 'Android media process' which ate 50% of all the processing power. There was not much of a performance drop since it occupied just one core.
Anyway Watchdog will give you an alert in case a process exceeds a certain percentage and from there you can google the problem or uninstall the app which is causing problems.
My Atrix 4G displayed a temperature of 37 degrees celsius. The highest till now I have seen. Could be higher though.
Its a dual core processor stop worrying about heat unless its hotter then 50c

My Atrix has reached temperatures of 70 Degrees Celcius...
@OP: I think ur safe.
how you turn off the push email? someone can indicate your configuration? thx

When watching youtube I reach 42 degrees celcius in the battery and it literally burns my hand. Would maybe return it if I hadn't ordered it from Canada.

thats because aluminium is a conducter which will let the heat out. plastic keeps it in. so if its hot i wonder why? xD

[email protected] keeping it in. Who knew one just needed a gnat's-hair-thick sheet of plastic to insulate their house?
I'm having the same issue, but it's only coming from the bottom half of my atrix, and only since I installed a new LCD. I'm actually worried the heat will destroy my mem card and sim.
I've ordered a new LCD now, so hopefully that'll sort it out.
It's probably just apps constantly eating cpu. My problem is with the laptop dock though. The battery in it gets way too hot. It's the first piece of electronics I've had that actually made me reflex my hand away from the heat.

hi guys i find that when i use the phone for a little bit like on voice call or playing a game the phone become literally super hot and its reached 45 degrees c according to my battery indicator app is that dangerous and is anyone else had the same problem ?
my sgs2 also overheats! i don't know why
Whatever electric device You switch on and make it work it gets warm. If You make it work HARD it gets warmer to hot.
If You work it in summer and direct sunshine it gets hotter than under the same workload at the Northpole at Xmas.
CPUs produce heat under workload the same do screens. The higher the frequencies the hotter they will get.
It is simple physics. So what ?

i understand that the cpu and other hardware can produce heat however i would have thourght there would be some sort of heat regulator that would underclock it to reduce the temp like in setcpu when rooted. at what do u think is the highest temp the phone could go before killing it self ?

Normal cpus can go to 70 - 80 degrees C. I would say now if the phone doesn't go over like 55 degrees it's fine.
I don't think this is normal personally. My phone has become hot a few times now and I think it was wifi sharing process causing it both times.
I ended this process using the System Panel app and carried on using the phone in the same way and the phone cooled right down again.

I have frozen wifi sharing so I don't know. But my phone almost never gets hot except if I download big files.
the reason the phone gets hot is because the phone is very cramped and cant dissipate heat effectively . the simplest example is a laptop and a desktop, even though both may have the same configuration a laptop gets much hotter than a desktop because it cant dissipate heat effectively as a desktop which has much bigger heat sink

I've been using my i9300 S3 for a few days now and it seems to heat up on the lower back when using wifi/data extensively. It's not hot to cook an egg sort of thing, but it seems hotter than usual.
Any of you experience such issues?
Hello
I am first time android user. Even i noticed this. Please let me know if it's ok.
It feels normal to me though....but I guess extensive usage may increase heat, just like computers and other electronic devices
I noticed the heat issue a lot more when I just got the phone. It still warms up a bit but i would say it is normal.
Though it did get pretty hot on my last flight during take off that I had to turn it off. Didn't want my expensive phone to melt.

It's normal I wouldn't worry about it to much although it will get warmer if it is being charged while using the program.
I am facing a similar issue ! My question is what temperature is safe enough ? I mean I have used few battery info apps. I have got a temperature reading of around 42 - 43 degree Celsius ! Is it normal ?

Do you own a computer of any kind? Not even that, any electronic device... a TV, PC monitor, anything? Use it for a while, and then report back to me any changes in temperature....
Is quite normal as long as your palm doesn't feel uncomfortable with the heat.

S3 overheating
Krico is absolutely right. It happened this morning when I was charging thru a notebook using both devices at the same time. And the heat lingered on even though I unplugged it. So I switched it off and now it is back to normal. Tks.
The phone can get pretty hot using WIFI and 3g extensively or 3d games. This is normal, electrical components heat up after prolonged use, your computer heats up your tv heats up. As long as the phone isn't burning your hand or exceeding 60C you should be fine. My phone gets warm to the touch and noticeably heats up but doesn't get HOT, if your phone ever gets HOT, turn it off to avoid damage.
I use an app called temp cpu v2. It displays a few interesting stuff incl. battery temperature. There are probably other apps like this.
With wifi on I get around 26 degrees but it sometimes goes up to 50 (or a little more?) on 3d games using wifi.
While charging it gets a little hotter.
Anyone else notice the htc one aluminum backside gets extremely hot when the cpu reaches over 100 degree. Usually this happen when I'm charging the battery or watching a youtube video. Sometimes it too hot to hold in my hand and I have to set it down and turn off the screens in hopes it cool down.
My galaxy note 2 always stay at 84 degree unless I'm playing games, but even the it doesn't feel really hot in my hand.
Yeah the metal conducts heat better so it can feel a lot hotter. Maybe a case could help.

Mine gets fairly hot with heavy use. Not too hot to hold however. It doesn't bother me. If it's getting that hot through a case I would trade it out for a new one just to be sure.

I've gotten mine up to "too hot to hold" temperatures while torrenting, listening to music and web browsing all at the same time with screen turned up to max brightness.
Mine would get really hot in the few days I had it, but now I don't notice it anymore

The aluminum body of the phone conducts heat a lot better than the plastic of other phones. So while it feels hot, its actually better for the phone, because the heat is going into the air (or into your hands) faster than it would with plastic.
The phone will throttle the cpu if it gets too hot, and completely shut off if it gets way too hot.

That doesn't seem normal to me. While my phone is charging, it doesn't get that hot. It also charges slowly. I'm guessing this is to preserve the battery. Even with usage, it doesn't get abnormally hot. Only when I start playing games. But it feels like normal heat. Not something I should be worrying about.

That is why aluminum is used for so many heatsinks on computers, cars and many engines. Its a great, lightweight, heat disperser. On the flip side though you feel it working with the warmth.

That blinking red light and extreme heat is a signal that the battery received "too much voltage" or extreme temperature, both can permanently damage the battery and circuits.
Do what you want, but it won't be the last time you have a problem. Also, are you using the stock charger?

After disabling the BatteryGuru I luckly don't have this problem anymore..!! PFIEUWW!
I know the red blinking light is for extreme overheating, and I know that is a really bad sign..

Mine get hot too, when i'm using it on LTE for awhile, I guess this is normal, it wasn't that bad, my iphone5 also do the same.
Z is a little better on this.
What temperature are you guys getting. Mine is usually around 104f, too hot even with a case
Just noticing that my phone is getting hot and never happen before

mine gets hot all the time. its thin and its got alot of heat producing power under the hood. seems to heat up most when using cell network mostly. Though i can play a 2 hour long movie off storage with airplane mode on and it stays decently warm.
id say its normal operating temp if the temperature is around 90F (32C)
only time to get concerned is if the battery gets near 150F (65C)
but normally the phone will alert you when it gets anywhere near that hot.
can check out This App that ive used a for a while it lets you put a thingy in your status bar drop down and will tell you the battery percentage if its charging its temperature and will also let you make custom notifications. for example itl notify you if the battery exceed a temperature youve set. or if the batteries gotten low etc etc
I think you need to be more clear. There is a difference between the phone "feeling hot" and "being hot" The metal exterior is more efficient transferring heat to your hand, due to physics. I have found that the phone itself runs just as cool or cooler than the S4, and that's what important. Are you monitoring the internal temp and are concerned or are you just referring to how warm it feels?
Normal. Even my body heat in my pocket causes the phone to warm up.
