I was downloading asphalt 5 on the hd2 running froyo 2.2 ...the package was 99 mb...so i disabled the screen timout ...and left the screen on so that it can download the game without the wifi getting off ...and that was around 1:50 Am at night ...i was a bit sleepy and kept my phone in between 2 cushions so that there is no light coming from the phone and disturbing me ...i slept ..and when i woke up at 8 :30 in the pmoring ..the first thing i did was to see my phone ...android was running ...screen was on ..the phone was so hot that i had to drop it on my bed ..it was super hot ..i thought that it musy have damaged my CPU ...but i dont know ....i had an battery application which showed my phone temeperature and it showed 65 degree ...omg ....the phone is working ...-------but i must have damaged anything inside due to overheating ???? do u guyzz think so ?
not sure if any damage has been caused, but im running that and i have asphalt 5 and my phone was on charge while downloading and still didnt get no way near that hot and hasnt done while using it for 2 days.

You're all kind of genius ball into one, arent you?
running android with not-yet-perfected-for-HD2 power management (HOT)
using wifi to download 100mb file (HOT)
leave the phone running with screen timeout off (HOT)
..and the killer, stuck it between two cushions so NO HEAT COULD ESCAPE (RETARDEDLY HOT)
With that said, kudos for HTC for having a well-designed phone.

Hehe! i know ! the phone is quite efficient that means ! quietly brilliant ... but still am getting it exchanged for a new one under warranty ..because my keyboard sucks ..because the touchscreen has some fault as reported by many other users ! hope they get me a new one or get the screen raplaced with a new one atleast !

even though i put the fone in silent mode ...but the media sound was still not silent ...so i imagined that if i keep the fone upside down . then if the download completes and the game starts and then i will be disturbed from my sleep ..eheh
because of the games sound ..lol...thats why i kept it bw to cushions ...hahha ! i know its idiotic ...let us consider a new heat test experiment ! which was succesful

Hehehe... since your previous experiment failed... I suggest repeating it again with your new HD2 wrapped in a bunch of plastic bags with boiling water running through stuck in a microwave while downloading ASPHALT through WIFI while your screen is still on through out the test.
Oh and let this continue from 1:30am to 8:30am
lets see how good HD2 really is
You deliberately put your phone between two cushions? Seriously?

You could of cooked scrambled eggs for breakfast on your phone.
mattfmartin: You should seriously become MOD!!1one!!
I used defy before, i worked very well, now I tried atrix, i found the phone is very hot in hand even just browse the internet.
I open the battery door, it seems the hot is not from battery, it is from the low part of the phone, is this normal? It feels uncomfortable to hold such a hot device.
Dual core processor gets hot when under load. It's normal that the Atrix runs hot when under load. Think of it this way.........you'll love it in the winter when you will play pocket data all the time to feel the warmth!
If the temperature worries you, install an app to monitor it.
All those mega hertz generate heat.. You are feeling the after effects of power flowing through the processor.. This aint some silly little flip phone son.
Mine stays relatively cool until I play Angry Birds or go for a drive using satnav and streaming internet radio. Then it gets a tad warm!
"This aint some silly little flip phone son" - I lolled hard.
Lol because it's the hottest phone on market
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
The hottest my phone ever gets is about 62 degrees on the CPU. As long as it doesn't get hotter than that, you should be good.
Use this to monitor temps: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.alldroid.apps.tempmonitorlite
try removing ur memory card and then use ur phone, this worked for me. and little bit of heat is normal
uhm last night i was laying down about to go to bed and i layed my arm on my phone and it was so hot, hotter than my alienware gets xD ive never had a phone or this phone get this hot, it was just charging and such.
Seems like GB update really put that second core to good use. Mine keeps frying my balls from my pocket now.

LOL, cant imagine how hot mine would be since i am on froyo still and its this hot.
I notice it gets hot after GB update ... especially when playing games and connecing to TV via HDMI .. hope official 2.3 update solve this
Maybe it isnt a problem. Desktop Video Cards have a temp limit of 105C.
Because it's a superphone!
after GB update it doesnt get AS hot.

This happens to me when I pass out on my phone drunk... I typically wake up in the middle of the night to my phone burning my back and a terrible headache. So I go grab some water, plug up my phone, PTFO again.

Agreed, advertise it as "Drunk-Friendly"...
On second thought, that seems like something from an info-commercial. So we should definitely only be charged 19.95!
Mine still on froyo, doesn't get too hot.

I used to use my nexus phone while charging.....

what you can do is give us more info. battery temp? cpu temp? custom or stock? the back glass plate is glass so that your quad core cpu can transfer heat through it, thats how its supposed to cool off. thats why it feels hot. has the temp in your area warmed up for spring? btw, the heat isnt harming your phone. if it gets to hot, it shuts down by itself, as a safety. before that, itll reduce the cpu speed to keep it from getting to the shutdown point.

Because of the glass back it may seem hotter, whats the actual temperature? And battery temperatures are not the same as cpu temperatures
Yeah!!! Its summer now here!! Da temperature is around 35°c nd falls by nearly 5°c in da night

with warmer temps around you, expect the device to get warmer. cool seasonal temps also keep the device cooler

Custom kernel with undervolting will help with temp and battery life. Star there.

The phone gets hot not warm not pleasant talking on it
Long calls are just not possible

My phone usually gets hot when I'm using 3g but don't get more than 2 bars of signal, try switching to 2g if you know that you're in a place where you won't get a good connection. Or even better, when you're talking, you might as well just turn mobile data off

Yes I am also facing this problem since I got it but their is a solution flash rasbeanjelly ROM and Trinity kernel if your familiar with rooting .

op.. its supposed to get hot. that's why it has a glass back, to cool off quicker. thats why you feel the heat. if you are worried about heat, dont buy a quad core device. buy a dumb phone and itll remain cool.
but that is not a problem with s4 or note 2 ??
so that doesnt justify

its not a problem with the n4 either. the problem is all in your head. again, it has a glass back to transfer the heat out of the phone quicker. because its glass, you will feel it more. s4 and the note 2 have plastic backs, so you feel it less.

besides op, what temperature is it reaching that you are complaining about, how it feels isnt an accurate temperature reading.
Guys stop embarrassing me
Actually I'm not comparing about heat on the back that's tolerable but its get way too got near the earpiece so that's why I'm complaining
I notice it a lot when I get a call in between my 3G usage

way too hot is what temperature(cpu temp)? im not trying to embarrass you, im trying to let you know that its normal, but you refuse to accept it. so, give more detail, what temp is your phone reaching? hot isnt an answer, hot and feel are relative terms.
The s4 does get hot too, I just had it.
But on the bright side, the nexus 4 is cozy in the winter

there are a few out there, i use the trinity kernel toolbox app. just search cpu temp in the play store. for battery, 60C is the safety temp. for cpu, 95C or 100C is the safety temp. the cpu os near the top of the phone, thats why it feels hot near the earpiece. its normal for the phones cpu temp to shoot up while the cpu is being used. when the screen goes off, itll cool down quickly.
im using trinity kernel now and have installed the toolbox and it shoe 1026 hz clock ??
why is it undervolted ?

Thats not undervolted, and I suggest you dont touch voltages atm and if you do make sure "set on boot" isnt checked.
That speed is just set lower, not sure if that kernel does that for you but you can set that higher if you wish.
all right ....running trinity and its not that hot now
Hey guys , today when i was using mobile hotspot and my battery was low so i connected charger and used tethering while charging , but after some 30 min when i touched my phone again , it was as hot as a grilled chicken and even my hands were hurting when i touched it , i think it was 80 degrees + , but i didnt had the software to check temps , but it was hurting to touch , so i wanted to ask that if its normal and happens to everybody while using mobile hotspot while charging ? Also my phone was so hot , but it didnt shown any warning nor it rebooted or shut itself off , but i immediately turned it off when it was that hot , but i have to say that i never experienced any such extent of hotness before on this phone , even i did browsing , games and huge multitasking , this was the first time it was that hot , so should i not use tethering altogether ? And if its common issue ? Pls guide me. Thanks.
Edit : I never used fast charging or wireless charging
Any hint guys ?
Anyone pls?
This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
Will get you a temperature. Feeling hot to touch could be anything above ~40-50C as proteins cook at ~42C. This is normal range. 80C is pushing it. Find us an actual temperature first.
Any questions, feel free to ask

Thanks for reply bro , however i used tethering now and installed the app you suggested to monitor temps, but to my surprise, i couldnt get it on that level of hotness even using tethering while charging with apps running , but as i said before it was much hot without any apps running with only tethering and charging.
Phone info app said temp was 42 degree when it was ok to my hand , but i can only guess that if my hand is uncomfortable due to hot phone it should be around 70 ~ 80 degrees , but it was damn hot at that time , i dont know why i couldnt get it heat up to same level , i will report back if i got heat issue again , also i request everyone to see if their phone also does this behaviour. Thanks

Glad it's not happening again. If it's a one off then I reckon dont worry about it. If it happens again, get us a temp and let us know.

Hey bro , just got the issue today , but a little less hot than that but it was still much , the weird thing is that when it was that hot , the phone info app showed 85 to 90% cpu usage , but i was doing nothing , no background apps , and all apps on sleep through device mantainence , and i was only using mobile hotspot while charging , now phone was extremely hot and i did a restart and took screenshot which is attached
Now i dont know the reason of this weird behaviour. After restart temps dropped from 49 degree to 45 according to app , before restart it was 49 degree and cpu at 85% to 90% load , after restart cpu showed normal load and temps began to low , when i took ss it was 45 degree, so i guess in real life it could be more than what app was telling because my hands felt like burning when touching phone , so at previous occasion when that happened and i created this thread , temps must be around 55 ~ 65 degree range , thats really strange behaviour though. Any hints from anyone appreciated
Hey guys , i guess no one has this issue ? Or any hint pls
