Hi all,
my Ameo has the following problem:
When leaving the device in the car without AirCo running (eg customer visit) it gets warmer than usually....
When I'm back and trying to phone with the Ameo it is loosing the connection. This takes some time until AirCo was cooling down the car (and the Ameo). Afterwards its is running normally.
Who knows about that ?
Dieter
imho thats a normal reaction and this could also happen to any other electric device when getting too hot.
why don't you take it with you ?
hi mojo,
but there is a little difference between warm and too hot ;-)
I'd say warm with approx. 35-40° - too hot means in my eyes 50° and more...
Dieter
60C is the maximum Dopod says the battery can handle. But it doesn't mean you will get optimal operation from the device. It will overheat and fail.
(This happens to all electronic equipment and it is up the each individual to protect it properly.)
With the temperature reaching 60C the battery will discharge at approximately double speed, and also shorten the lifespan of the device by about 50%.
They strongly suggest that you never operate the device in higher temperatures than 45C for any prolonged time.
Do not leave the device exposed to direct sunlight inside a car, on a table at home etc. It will overheat and potentially fail.
You wouldn't leave your children or your pet in the car when it's that hot. So why do you leave the PocketPC in there? Even the thought of doing this gives me headaches.
Mine actually fails to take a charge when it is just sitting in the cradle doing TomTom stuff whilst I drive with aircon on but I am in Spain and the sunlight though the screen does make it very hot. I am having to reposition it or try to duct some aircon to it. It is slightly more sensitive to heat than my previous ones, but it also does MUCH MUCH more so like me, in future, try to protect it

I've noticed it previously during usage (like on the internet while having MSN running, or while playing games)
but I just got off a phone call which lasted about 20 minutes, and the front (and back) of my phone was just too warm for me to ignore. I would have suggested that it was the heat from my cheek against the phone but that wouldn't explain how the phone was quite noticeably warmer than my cheek.
The backlight wasn't on (i doubt the LED backlight would cause much heat anyway).
Does the mega have any internal temperature sensors like PC's have? And any software to read them?
My previous phones NEVER got this hot on even hour long calls,
and mix this with the fact that at my work one of the PDA's blew up a few weeks ago (was the battery), it just makes me that more paranoid!
I am going to Hard Reset soon anyway as things started running a little slowly recently, I hope it will also stop any hidden processes that may be running in the background and overworking the cpu. But I would still like to know of any software

I think its pretty normal to heat up during long conversation. Their manual also says "Using any function for long time will heat up the phone", but only upto a level.

i've never experienced warming of the phone which is coused by operating it , well maybe just a lil utube watching for an hour but it was warm of my hands , i'm only worried when i leave it charging and after 15-20 mins LOL ! the phone is HOT i know that is normal , just sharing opinion
Heat comes from 2 sources in general external and internal.
External is from sun, your hands or phone in your pocket. On longer run this is not good for battery life.
Using navigation in your car during summer can run your phone real hot and feels quite uncomfortable! From a 20 min call it should not. But this is subjective.
Internal heat is caused when your processor has to work hard; like when several programs running and processes in back ground. You can check and kill them with task manager (FDC soft task manager) and batteryguard. Also soft reset kills most "unwanted" processes. A good indication for high level of processor activity is when your battery level goes quickly down.
Its normal mate, on mine when i use GPS for long time it does the same, processor works hard and battery gets hot.
Not sure if navigation alone causes your battery to run hot. Since navigation can run on 200Mhz processors and Mega processor has much higher clock speed it is overspecified.
The influence of phone close to windscreen and therefor impact of light/sun may be much bigger. When I run navigation (TomTom) in winter phone stays nicely "cool".
Not sure if it could help but once i noticed the Mega too warm and discharging instead of charging, after i connected it to the notebook via usb cable!
Rebooted PC and HTC and everything luckly returned normal...

Indeed a soft reset in most cases solves this.
Hi all,
With continuous use (even 15-20 mins of web browsing) the phone is warming up. The temperature goes as high as 40-42 deg C.
Has any one encountered the same problem?
It gets very irritating that with slight use the device is heating up.
Yes same problem. Maybe due to metal case.
If you read the manual you will see it's clearly stipulated that when the phone is charging or in use for extended periods of time it heats up. Perfectly normal !
Also the heat will dissipate through the aluminum case, which is why the phone feels hot. I have an iPhone 2G and it doe the same thing. Nothing to worry about .
I have a serious probleme with my Leo HD2 T-Mobile which I bought from USA; it is overheating and stopping charging after about 10 mn of using GPS (Tomtom, ou IGO) in my car.
Anyone has a solution for this probleme?
That's kind of a short time. I know I can get away with at least 30 minutes or more depending on the temperature outside ( no AC right now) before it will start acting up.
You could try flashing a different radio. Might have to go through a couple before finding a good blend of lower power(less heat) and good reception.
If you have something other than a hard case on your phone take it off , that rubber shell that comes with the HD2 will overheat your phone in record time if using GPS or other heavy apps for extended periods of time ...
Also turn off 3g(you are driving, this will stop it from searching constantly for 3g), help save power and heat, make sure wifi is off ...
I drove 4 hours today using TomTom the whole way, and did not have a heating problem , but don't stick the phone up on TOP of your dash in the direct sun, it will get soo hot you can't touch it, even if it is off, the phone is black and metal collects heat like no body's business ...
Also a good point is to unplug it from the charger once in a while, like a half hour every 2 hours ....
Just some pointers that I use, and mine does not overheat ...
Its a known issue, while using the gps, the phone is working at full cpu speed, and its charging at the same time, If the phone sees fit it will use some of the power coming in and use it to power the phone more so then charge the battery.
I used to come across this problem a bit, using it as a tether most of the day as i am a service tech and use it in place of an actual cellular modem.
i was using my phone for google maps yesterday and it was pretty hot.
the phone of course got even hotter since the screen was on and gps on and loading maps constantly
not burning hot but it could definitely use a fan.
i tried to locate some kind of heat dissipating tape or something similar to our silicone covers to put on the back of the phone
the only 2 things i can think of is copper tape, some kind of textured or wrinkle finish film as well.

Is there a windows mobile application that tells you the battery temperature?
I have a Nexus One as well and there is an Android App called battery indicator that will show you the temperature of the battery so that you don't overheat it and degrade your battery life.
Dunno if you can do this on Windows Mobile turn by turn directions yet, but when I am using the GPS on my Android Nexus One I usually turn off the screen since it still says the directions even while the screen is off. If I have to have the screen on (in case I'm on compact city streets with quick turns) I always make sure to hold the phone close to the air conditioning vent every 7-10 minutes or so to make sure the phone doesn't overheat. GPS + Screen on is a hot, Hot, HOT combination

WMWifiRouter shows the temperature of the battery, not sure about any others though.
Install BattClock form Zuinige Rijder, configure and You can monitor batt temp nicely.
Now in summer at temps over 30°C the HD2 gets really hot when on the car dashboard navigating.
At approx. 43°C it stops loading when in a loading cradle in the car (LED flashing orange) and very often freezes then.
Last time - after freeze - I took out batt and it was damn hot, reinserted, started HD2, temp showing 63 °C (!!!!!!!!!!), after some minutes froze again at temp 65°C
Contacted HTC-support on this issue, just sent me an advice for repair service, no explanation why this was not taken into account during development since it´s not a faulty device but a general misconstruction.
Works nicely when ambient temp below 20°C or cloudy sky.
don't all computers shut down at a certain temp???
Why would our smartphones be any different?
I dont have any issue's with my battery getting hot at all, running android though the processor gets pretty warm...
Hi guys and girls,
I've got my A5 a few days back, and at start it worked great. I've messed up with a lot of software, tried everything out, and instead of uninstalling everything I thought it'd be best to do a factory reset. That's where my problems started.
While I set up the phone and installed all the apps (updated) that came with the phone, connected to a 100Mbps optical internet via AC wifi, I lost about 15% of battery. Okay, who knows what the phone needed to do, lets move on.
Next day I was just using Whatsapp, messaging with my gf, and the phone was a bit warm with 20-25% brightness (auto-off). The battery temperature was 32-33C, and I used an infrared thermometer and measured 33.5C on the back of the phone at the Samsung logo. Then I just browsed the settings, setting up my phone a bit more, and it was still getting warm, getting anywhere between 31 to 33C on the battery and around 33C with an IR thermometer. I still can't say much about battery drainage but the phone is getting pretty warm even while browsing the web or doing non-intensive tasks.
Does the A5 2017 get warm or is it just me? Should I RMA it?
Have a520f, 33C is near average. But it's also dependent on the weather. Fast charging or charging with the screen off will raise it. If it wasn't always like that, maybe something in the background is using the CPU, checking for updates or notifications. The CPU/GPU is like a car engine, running at various 'speeds' and 'weights it is carrying', and it does get warm. Only if it gets hot, then it's a problem. Many apps could do those checks once the screen is turned on. Uninstalling/changing settings will only help with battery life (percent drain), the temperature is ok. The a520f (and a510f) also has touchboost, temporarily raising the CPU clock when the screen is touched. Might be noticeable with background tasks while using a keyboard.
Thanks friend. Didn't know about "Touchboost", you opened it up for me a bit there.
While the screen is off, It's perfectly fine. Once I take it in my hands, it starts to get warm around the Samsung logo. It's probably screen + apps + nowhere to dissipate heat, but I wasn't noticing it at start. I've only had it for a couple of days now. I don't know about the battery drainage, with a charge lasting me ~40hrs with 7h SOT I wouldn't say it's draining at all - though my screen is at low brightness, 1/4 max.
Just wanted to see what you other guys are getting as I thought it was high. My ambient is around 24-25C all year long. I've seen tests where people weren't getting more than 30C at all, but as you said, it's the ambient that dictates that.
Idk if this is only with mine but sometimes I turn the phone off completely and put it to charge and it happens that it can reach like 35°C without touching it. Now the phone is plugged, I only browse with chrome facebook.. and it is like 37°c. That can happen when it is not plugged too. Using wifi seems to be better though.
I dont think I have an important battery drain because it can last about 6-8h SOT normal usage.
Onr other thing, when I turn on the mobile hotspot, the battery drains way more than usually and heats up too.
