I just bought the Xperia Z2 a couple of days back, and I love the phone, except it Overheats, quite alot, very easily
It gets to like 50C at times ) by doing simple tasks like web browsing on Chrome and 5 minutes of gaming, even small games like Temple Run, the heat doesn't affect game-play, but it's really uncomfortable to hold such a hot phone
I know most smartphones get warm, warm I can deal with, but this is clearly getting hot.
Can anyone help me with this as this is really annoying, also will this be fixed with the 5.0 Lollipop update?
Here is the proof and the phone details

Do you get an overheating message? Does your phone shut down because of the temperature?
If the answers to the above is no your phone is not overheating, it is 'a little hot' quoting the pic in your post.
Hello. It´s two weeks since i bought my Xperia Z2 and i have never felt any problems regarding overheating. If you don´t get an overheating message as o0 Matt 0o does suggest, then i think there is something that keeps running, maybe a sort of an app or service that keeps running in the background. Check it, maybe that can be the culprit.

My friend has a Z2 and he faces no such issues, it doesn't say overheating, but it's hot as hell, soo hot that I can't touch it , it went to 55C once with no apps running , I'm going to get a refund tomorrow
It can be a faulty device. I think its better that you get a refund, and then buy a new one, or ask for them to get a new one.

So a friend of mine could possibly be selling me his x10 for a ridiculously low price, which I found out from another friend to be because of (possible) overheating issues because he tried overclocking the phone; and after trying to bring it back down to the original speed it still is overheating.
Before I get into something that would completely waste my money, is there a way for me to be able to fix it so it works normally or would this be something that I should completely avoid all together. Basically, I'd like for some tutorials provided that can help me rectify this problem.
Thanks for any help provided.
its not possible to over clock the phone right now... so idk what your friend did. Also what kind of overheating issue is it? Getting really hot? or shutting down a lot?
Well thats was how I understood it as. And from the sounds of things it seems like it is just getting overly hot.

It's possible it's just his battery that's shorted. Maybe another battery? That or the GPS chip runs constantly... I know mine heats up when the GPS runs at full. I also say try and flash the firmware back to a regular ROM (Without mods).
Those are my ideas. Otherwise toss it in the freezer! haha
Sounds like new need some Arctic Silver, Heat Sink and a 200CFM SUNON!
Its a hardware fault. It will eventualy start rebooting, and after that it wil start shutting itself down or locking... i think its something with the pmu but not sure. If it has warranty send it to repair...

My Xperia started overheating and now its having very frequent restart cycles from several days. Is it a hardware fault in the Xperia X10?
At least on my first x10, it started like that, then only went worse. the first sign was when doing generous amount of traffic (heavy browsing, downloading some apps at the same time...) it started rebooting. After that it started doing it whenever it got network, during calls... even when reflashing.
So I would flash back to stock, then take it a day for a ride with.a backup phone. If it reboots even once, send it to repair...
I'm also experiencing the frequent reboot problem. It seems the best solution I've found was to send it back to SE for repair/replacement. That solution is unacceptable for me, as I spent $600+ for an imported x10a when it first was released, and as such, SE has deemed my phone "gray market" and I would need to pay for repairs.
I love my x10, but $800 for a phone that's still severely outdated and lacking some high-end functions is just not worth it.
I am convinced that the problem stems from a faulty temperature sensor in the motherboard. My phone is definitely not hot to touch, and it seems that just placing it in front of a fan alleviates the rebooting problem.
Do any devs know of a way to disable the temperature sensor either through an app or via adb?
Its doesnt look like bad sensor, but a bad ic on the board or a bad solder point.
For me it ended up getting stucked even on the bootloader, where everything is 'out of order'. The only way i got to reflash it was using my car's air conditioner at 16 degrees... didnt have warranty either, so the board now resides half dead on my desk...
Ouch. Sad to hear. Did you order a new mb or a brand new phone? If just the mb, mind sharing where you got it from and the price?
I bought a second x10 and left the other one for testing and parts... though this x10 is starting to get a little warm too, lets hope this doesnt die too...
The display ous on max, turn it down...that's why it's hot as hell
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
lol you did just like me i bought another X10 today check my (motherboard problem thread) guys pls if there anything to avoid this problem tell me from now , i have 2 X10 now
Hello,
first I would like to apologize, if this has been already discussed or asked or if posting in a wrong section.
Just I'm very worried and I don't have much time to browse and search for a solution now, so I decided to ask.
I bought my SGS2 in June. So far everything has been more than fine.
Usually I'm charging the phone during the night. 2 days ago, when plugging it off the charger, I noticed that the
phone was really hot.
A little bit earlier I had installed the GoPower app. It had showed a warning, that the battery is over 50'C.
Now I'm thinking if that might be caused by this app... ? Or just earlier there was nothing that would show me
the warning. But on the other side I think that I must have felt the phone getting hot...
Please help me!!
it maybe because of app, when i install swype and plug in charger it goes to 48C
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I have swype installed in my ROM. Never used it though Now I have uninstalled GoPower and we'll see how it will behave on the next charging...
Any other ideas please ?
It's not the Swype keyboard. I use it all the time without any over heating even when charging. You must have apps running in the back ground.
Anything 3D intensive can cause overheating.

I think it also depends on the room temperature.
48 degree Happens on my S2 either..nerver bothered about it...whats d reason behind it?
Darkman,you should try GB for eg-and see if its any better.My wife was running 4.0.4 stock and hers would heat up like yours.Sent it to Samsung and they just reloaded 4.0.4-which meant nothing fixed.
We then sent it back to our retailer,and they sent it to Samsung,who sent it back to us-still overheating.
Our retailer then credited our account for what she paid(£450) and told her to destroy the phone.
I have loaded rootbox/dreamkernel onto it and its running perfectly okay temperature wise.
So if I was you Id try a couple of things and if its still too hot then Id brick it so you get a new mobo for free.
Dear theunderling,
what is GB for eg please ?
You are pretty lucky as per your story. Just there is no way for this to happen in my country.
A friend of mine bought a Galaxy SIII, which wasn't ringing, after let some time unattended.
He sent it 3 times back for service and he requested his money back and after staying more
than 2 months (!!) without phone, they finally repaired it. What a scam !!!
Yes I was lucky.My wife bought it from a "catalogue" company(you pay like £10 a week).It was a woman from there that credited the account and told my wife to destroy the phone.
I wasnt going to bother paying for it if I didnt get satisfaction.
The phone didnt seem to be working properly(like yours) on 4.0.4,but not a problem since I put on rootbox.....so theoretically its a farce.
And every time she sent it back and forth she had to wipe then reinstall everything.
Samsung only seem to give a good service to total muppets that brick their phones.
They seem to penalise normal people who have genuine warranty claims through no fault of their own.
And I once had a motorola phone that was faulty.Van driver came to my door,took it away,then took it back repaired within 2 days.
And I only think its funny about my wifes phone because when I said in one of my threads(the motherboard one) that I was paying £450 for a s2,a guy was meaning I was a mug.
And Ive ended up getting a perfect s2 for free......lol
Good luck and GB means gingerbread.

hey endritkanani,
I have the same issue, As in my Galaxy S2 will get hot at the same portions you have marked in the photograph. A battery monitoring app also shows the temp to be around 48 celsius for the battery. I assume its hardware related as the temperature increases even if I charge when the phone is switched off.
Have you been able to find any solution for your issues?
PS: the problem started for me after I sent the phone for repairs related to the proximity sensor. However the service place said that it had nothing to do with them though I doubt that.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

If anyone reads this my d710 got hot as well while it was on stock ROM. Apparently if it;s the battery itself getting hot from normal use or when charging, it might a sign of a battery going bad, and purchasing a replacement would be a good idea.
Hey guys!!I am going to buy this for my wife. She will most likely use it for the girly thing ( no graphic intensive games!). I watched a lot of video reviews of the M4 aqua. None of them addresses the heating issues. But a lot of written reviews have mention over heating. My question is :
1. How bad is the Over heating Problem?
2. How often do you Face over heating problems?
3. Any over heating during day to day activity?
4. Can you make an omelette on the back of the phone while over heating??
TIA.

It used to be very bad before the latest update, now it's much better, but I can still feel some heat, and sometimes it stops the camera from launching if it gets very hot.
It usually gets hot when using data connection and watching youtube videos and such.
The phone heats on the top and I hold it from the bottom, so I hardly notice it when it gets hot.
I'm not sure if you can make an omelette but I'm not going to try
And please if you're planning to get this phone, make sure you get the 16GB model or else your wife might murder you
Hey everyone. I literally just got my G5 in the mail a couple hours ago and went through the setup process. It was plainly obvious that the phone was really hot. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know if this is a common thing or if it may just be my phone....
My LG G5 is not received.So I don't know.When I get it,I will answer this.
Mine gets a little warm after heavy use and while charging, but I wouldn't call it hot. Try pulling the battery and see if the battery is causing the heat.
Mine also got hot during the setup process. I was adding my gmail account and fiddling around with it while it was charging and it got noticeably hot. Haven't had a problem since then.
I was playing with one in the ATT store and it seemed to be getting warm on the back just to the left of the fingerprint reader (if looking at the back). I wouldn't say it was hot, just warm.
Most phones heat up a bit during setup, just like some do during updating. I'm guessing it may be a little more noticeable with the metal design.
Verizon unit here and mine was also hot when setting up but quickly cooled down. I will add that i did not have my phone plugged in when setting it up.
Mine was really hot during the setup process. If I'm doing nothing with the screen off, it's cool. But doing anything with it, generates more heat than I would like. Taking photos feels like I'm holding a hand warmer.
I read LG isn't aggressively throttling the CPU like Samsung so at this point that's what I'm assuming is going on.
It would be nice if there was a straight forward way to compare temperatures objectively instead of subjective descriptions like warm, little warm, hot, too hot.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it happens after your initial device set up. Normally with the LG's I've noticed that they get hot during a first boot and setup. The only other time I've experienced it like that is if I'm playing a game or on Skype.

after setup, (not charging) installing all my apps it got warm but not where i would have to put it down.
it seem that this phone have a lot of problem............... should i go pick up my package?
Verizon user here. I didn't notice anything warm during setup but I noticed on my first test call that after about 10 minutes it was getting warm to the point of being uncomfortable. I've a text message restore running for about 10 minutes now with the display on and the phone is cold to the touch. Not sure what may be causing the temp variances. An unlocked CPU sounds plausible which i'm kind of okay with. Has anyone notice poor call quality. According to the person I was talking to my voice would go through periods of crystal clarity and inaudible garble. Not sure if it was on my end or theirs. I'll return with updates.
Got my My LG G5 from T-Mobile... After 3 days the phone has been overheating, and every 10 seconds it drops Mobile Connection...I went through a plethora of tests with T-Mobile Support and they determined that I need a replacement device...so waiting for the replacement...One other thing, I notice this happened after calling T-Mobile to Unlock the device...So not sure if there is any correlation between my issue and T-Mobiles Unlock App, T-Mobile said the two were not related.
I did factory reset and left for 10 minutes after first boot then setup my credentials and left phone on WiFi for 1 hour before I did start downloading

The only 2 times i had the phone get warm was whdn i setup it up and when i tried to film a 4k video while charging it and it caused the phone to stutter and even the clips stuttered.
I think there are communication problem here, when people mention hot, how hot is it, as different people defines them differently, I know my friends phone is only warm, but he just say hot.
all the LG phones i heard get HOT or overheated. this has been happing for so many years, nothing new.
i notice this 4 years ago with my LG phone. i thought they would have fixed it by now.

Hello all,
I've used a z5c for a short time a while ago and my experience with it was downright terrible. It was overheating, getting annoyingly warm while doing basic tasks, whenever I got under 15% there was an annoying red light in my face, there was an orange light always on in the night when it was charging, and then the screen shattered from the tiniest drop. The battery life was also poor, despite it being great on paper. Anyway,
Did the (marshmallow) system updates fix the terrible heating situation?
Is there a rom out there that fixes the heating issues?
Is it in anyway possible to disable those lights?
I'm planning on buying a new one (with tempered glass protectors) if these things are possible.
Thanks in advance for answering!

The .224 update brought new life to the z5c but it still has all of its usual flaws. Overheating is still an issue, I regularly see temps in the 140*f range but it is a major improvement over the 170+ from lollipop. The battery lights are all able to be disabled so long as your rooted, I don't see how they're an issue though, every phone I've ever had has had them and I prefer them. Battery life is improved drastically. I used to not make it 4 hours before going dead on lollipop,now I can make it through a whole workday.
Also note that I've never tried the official build of marshmallow or the kernel. I went from lollipop straight to xpower ROM and androplus kernel.
I am currently on Marshmallow, there is still overheating issues. In fact, I'm just on facebook and its getting a little warm. If you're in hot countries too it can be quite a problem, I live in England so it isn't as bad, everything is always cold so I can literally just place my phone on something cold like a desk and it will just be back to normal temp, but then obviously increase again lol.
Yes lights can be disabled with root.
Cyanogenmod13 actually disabled unnecessary stuff, and actually stopped it from overheating multiple times. However, cons of CM13 is that the camera doesnt work etc..
Im on marshmallow and the phone got alot better but **** these sony phones bro. Think you might be better of with a other brand because this z5c will be my last sony for a loooooong time.
Is there anything else out there that's similarly sized? Is z3 compact a better phone?

As along as you can live with side charging and flaps the z3c is all around a better phone. Unfortunately there isn't anything even close to rivaling this phone or to replace it yet.I refresh news on the xianomi mi5 mini, htc h10 mini, and s7 mini weekly just to make sure lol
DON'T buy it, seriously i'm done with Sony , last android i'll ever buy
Ye, me too. I just want a smaller phone that's as powerful as the big guys. And I don't want to switch to an iPhone
