Hi Guys,
I want to purchase this phone next month (due to expering contact).
But I read on android authority that this phone regurarly overheats.
I rather trust the people here who uses their Alpha on regular basis.
Is it true that this phone often overheats like the S2?

I have had mine 2 months and its never overheated for me.
Now it gets warm like any phone but only when you hammer it. Its in a case all the time also.
The Android Authority are not the authority on this occasion.
The phone is super fast and a real underrated handset. You wont regret it.
Any other Q's just ask.
same hire
Mine isn't over heating ,

I would strongly advise you to do so. Even though this phine isn't popular, it still has flafship performance and (for me) quite satisfactory battery life

after 1++ hour of gaming, the area near the cpu had the same temp as all the other surface (im talking about the area of the backcover),
so im guessing , the phone doesnt have overheating issues.
in this pic u can see where the cpu is located:
(notice the 2 metal plates, cpu is under the big metal plate(near his thumb))

As for the small battery, believe me this device uses the energy very very very efficient

Hello Folks,
some days ago, I bought from Ebay a new battery to my mother's iPhone, I bought a battery with 2430 mAh, I had searched for one like that to Lumia 800, I have a WP7, LG E900 with a battery like that and I can use it for three days without change the battery, any one here can say here a find a battery like that to Lumia 800?
Thanks!!!
dont use batteries that arent made only for your phone or produced from nokia in your case.
If its a fake 1)the battery life will go down very fast 2)you will for sure have a problem when charging your phone with extreme temps and lastly there is even a chance with chinese or fake batteries that they will explode(not like a bomb but still will ruin your phone) if exposed in high temps(sun etc)
All replacement batteries arent that bad. Before buying read the reviews in amazon etc. For example I had an "extended" battery on my Samsung galaxy s and I never had any problems with it, and it really improved the battery life. Though I remember news about exploding phones when using these replacement batteries. Yes, of course there is a risk, and it is a risk that you should think about. In my opinion your Lumia 800 is too expensive to gamble
i thought you couldnt replace batteries for this phone?!? isnt it like the iphone, ie built in (cant get it out)

It can be replaced but you need to take the phone apart. It is not very difficult though.

that looks cooool lol
got my standard battery to last 4 days 12h.
although i only use it for texts, light calls and light music use. oh and the odd internet browsing. the lack of apps is the main problem. theres some cool ones but for games i use my tablet (android)
Getting my phone tomorrow and am concerned reading several reviews saying it overheats? Is this a problem for anyone? How frequent does it occur? Should I be worried? Thank you in advance!
I usually run my screen at 50 and I've had 2 times when I worried about temp. Once was when my text bogged up trying to send had 4 sending at same time. The phone began getting real hot I deleted text restarted phone then retyped text and temps dropped. Second time was when I went to send an email. Seemed like it took a while to send once it showed sent in my sent box the phone began to lower on temps. Both times this happens I was on WiFi and with losing net I switch from 3g and 4g all day. Not sure where the problem was but it went away quickly

No problems like that on my end. Although most people don't realize that these smartphones can actually run pretty hot around 100 F or so and that's normal, although it is very unsettling feeling your $600 device get that hot.
I'd be curious to see people use something like System Monitor that shows what their phones are running at during the day.

Unless people are playing games or watching videos, the phone shouldn't be that bad, people probably could do a little better job of debloating and hibernating things and their phones wouldn't get so hot... Just my opinion though!

x2. Any heavy processing load will cause it to get hot, when the processor kicks into high gear a lot of electricity runs through it and will raise the temp a significant amount. This is normal and nothing to worry about. Processors are typically designed with temperature controls which will slow the processor down when it gets too hot. You don't have anything to worry about.
Plus, if something does happen to your phone you would be covered by warranty and insurance if you have it.
Hello,
I'm surprised that this issue does not bother anyone too much, on Internet are very few contributions. I have Z5 compact for 5 days and from the beginning it started to heat up. From the first turn the phone start heating. I didnt do exacting task, common settings. When I play game it starts heating up quite noticeably and uncomfortable. I've tried, according to various tests on the net, shoot 4K video. The result is that after 2 minutes phone shut down due to overheating of the phone. This is not normal, that there are videos on net, where 4K shooting lasts about half an hour. Is this normal? Do you have someone experience with that? How did you solve that? Does have complaint sense? Only adds that this is the second phone of the same type, the first showed the same problem of overheating, I took it the next day after buying back and storeowner my phone readily exchanged for a new one. However, the same course. I do not think I was unlucky on two defective pieces. Please, give me advice.

This was taken just as I read your thread here..
Mine acts the same way as you.it doesn't really ever get to a "normal" temperature. I cant bare to answer phones calls on it, it's uncomfortable in my pocket, and holding it to use almost burns me and leaves my habd sweaty. I don't shoot videos or play games, mine heats up I'm guessing from the screen alone or just data. I don't really know.
I've had mine for just over a week and the issues are kind of piling up to where it's going to be on eBay soon.
Hi all,
I'm about to purchase this beautiful phone, but as I'm not planning on any heavy mobile gaming ( believe it or not, I just like Asus, ROG, the audio setup and the form factor), I'm very interested in knowing how the battery life is with regular use.
No official review goes too much in depth on this matter.
How is the standby time, SOT, using it as a regular smartphone (mail, social, youtube, camera etc)?
Thanks a lot for your input!
This is the first phone I've ever owned where I get 2 full days. I lose 2 or 3% overnight. Overall, battery life is amazing.
You must have everything turned off. I am not even close to that on stand by ...
I came from a Pixel 2 XL. All my apps are the exact setting and the Pixel 2 XL has a smaller battery and it last longer the entire day then the ROG phone
With this phone I am having to find ways to get better life. pixel 2 XL didn't do any or that. On my pixel 2 XL I even have Always On and music ID turned on
ROG Phone owners will have to wait for custom kernels and maybe even custom ROMs because something is eating the 4000 mah battery of this phone like nothing. Many tests have proven a poor battery life, very poor considering the battery size.
Whatever it is ... It's in the system

It does seem clearly off. Do you have the WW or Chinese version?

Post the picture of the battery usage to zentalk forums too the staff there maybe can give the engineers something to go off of
Battery life is ok, Will last me about a day with normal usage and 8 with heavy ones. I got rid of FB and use metal instead. I use black theme in all The app offering it as well.
I am using my new Asus Zenfone 8 Flip the second day. I am disappointed. I use it normally as all my other phones, a bit of videos, a bit of photos, browsing youtube. Half a day battery is flat. The screen was 60 Hz. Battery settings: Optical/Dynamic. Double checked if there is any draining app - nothing found.
All my other phones would work at least three-four times longer (and I had very good phones!). I am disappointed. It is not worth the price.
Battery is fine for me, not worse than op7 before. Although I charge only up to 90%.
But in total, I'm not that happy either - the fingerprint sensor kills it off for me.

After using Xiaomi Mi Max 1, then Mi Max 2 and Mi Max 3 with their unkillable batteries that can work 2 or even 3 days in a row, I wonder how even people pay that money for phones that hardly survive by the end of the day.
Fingerprint sensor sucks too. Indeed.
Has anyone noticed that if you listen music from Spotify or youtube in background with an adapter and you open a game (not an app, only game) the music quality Will lower extremely? It Is really annoying
it shouldn't... powerusage seems quite average.

But for some reason the WiFi test seems worse.

Why don't you just take a Bugreport and upload it here: https://bathist.ef.lc/
Then you would know why battery life sucks

You may press a bit when setup but to unlock you just need to put/touch a little and sensor will scan your fingertips. Easy to unlock

Cannot Check again, I swapped back to op7.
Now, half a year later I am on op9pro ;-)
I just got the 8 Flip and I was also expecting it could last over 24h on my non gaming use.
I installed GSam, Naptime and Greenify to try to save some battery, but I'm still struggling to save battery.
Disable 5G? Just got the phone. first thing I did.. I don't give a f... about 5g..
