when i'm tethering my dash 3g runs anywhere from 90 to 100 degrees. what is a safe operating temperature for the phone?
Well, while I'm tethering mine on the road, it sometimes gets hot to the point that it becomes unresponsive. Just watch out for the LED light on top, it'll start to flicker red (as if the battery is dying) to warn you that it's overheating.

sometimes when I charge my phone I get a flashing amber light even when the unit is switched off. Does anyone know what this indicates? I thought constant green indicates charged, is the amber light used to indicate a temp problem as my battery seems to get very warm during charging?

Getting warm during charging is normal.
Not sure what flashing amber indicates , though seems to be an indication of text receipt/missed call (whether on charge or not)
Amber=Charging Green=Charged Red=Charge Failure

Means NOTIFICATION
It occurs even when the phone is fully switched off. It does seem to relate to the temperature during charging, I would guess that it indicates that charging is paused due to the battery temp.
I used to have this when I first got my Vario II. It was definitely temperature related and had nothing to do with notifications as there were none.
The only way to get around it was to take it off charge and take the battery cover off to let the heat escape for it to cool down. Then it would start charging again normally.

I agree, it means message/email/calendar/alarm/task during charging and could mean also overheat
So it means NOTIFICATION (or pay ATTENTION please) , it has a big CPU still isn't capable to explain exactly what type of attention is needed
How hot is normal running temp for the battery?
I see mine runs at around 46 celcius most of the time.
What is too hot?
Dear Friends,
I am having the following issue: iGO works great, but when I use the car charger after approximately 30-40 minutes the phone (diamond) gets very hot and it stops charging the battery. Than I have to wait for about 20-30 minutes and I can charge. I did not go more far.
At the beginning I was thinking maybe it gets too much sun, but not, I tried it in a bad weather too-when no sun at all. Does anyone have the same problem-and maybe knows the solution?
Thank you in advance
Hi morbon.. When you use the GPS the phone will naturally get hot and on top of that when you charge the phone while using the GPS, it will get hotter. The phone automatically disables charging when the it gets too hot to stay on the safe side. If you use the GPS alot, I would recommend getting one of those vent holders and turn on the cool air while using it so it stays cool. So dont worry, this is only a security measure and it happens on all our phones.
My battery says 100%, then I turned it off and plugged it back in and the indicator was still white. Huh?

The anorexic manual says Green is 95% or higher. Maybe the indicator had a margin of error or somehow used up 5% of its power cycling (which would be unfortunate)?

I'm not sure of the level that Motorola uses, but with Cyanogenmod 7 on my Droid Incredible the charging light turns green at 90%. Maybe this is a standard Android value???
I seem to be flying through my battery, but I HAVE been doing a ton of stuff. Even playing games via bluetooth and hdmi on my big tv... I'll leave it off and plugged in for an hour and thirty minutes and see if the indicator changes color. Still white at the moment.
EDIT - At full, 100% charge (tells me so when it's on), my LED is White. Someone please verify their LED colors for me...
During charge mine is white/blue. When it reaches 95ish percent it turns green.
Regardless of when the charge indicator turns white, green, etc like many other mobile devices the battery gauge may not be all that accurate. When the battery gets to a certain point, charging stops and discharging begins again. After a discharging for a while, charging may begin again. The amount of charge shown may depend on where you catch it in the cycle. Unplugging it after it becomes green and then plugging it in again causes a "bump charge". This is fairly common behavior and hardly exclusive to the xoom.
If you want to really know what is going on, I suggest using this free android utility / widget...

is yours the 3g or wifi xoom?
I've now found that I'm getting between 10-12 hours of heavy usage, probably. I was playing games and surfing and playing music for 6 hours last night and I wound up at 50%. So I guess I can ignore the LED thing, I guess. It turns red when the inner camera is on.
I'm using a Qi wireless charging kit with my i9505 and am looking for a way of stopping the screen from constantly turning on (in the middle of the night) when the phone drops below 100% charge and re-initiates wireless charging. I've managed to silence the notification by replacing the notification .ogg file, but is there any way of forcing the screen to stay off? Apart from being annoying, I'm concerned about the additional heat that this must generated, and also about possible screen burn-in.
I'm rooted, and running Phoenix ROM v7.3.
Hey Guys,
My release edition S7 Edge started acting up last Sunday. As I was using the phone, it noticed the display to have strange, colored barcodes appearing as smudges on the screen. Pink/purple seems to be the dominant color type and they are most severe when texts are displayed on screen. The phone seems to get hot quicker than normal, and gets hotter than normal when under toll. The screen usually DOES NOT TURN ON AT ALL when the phone is warm/hot. Everything about the phone still works, all functions work.
It has been a few days since I encountered this issue and it has not subsided. What I did noticed is that if the phone was hot and the screen does not turn on, I could cool down the phone externally via air conditioning vents and it would turn back on when its cool enough. The barcode artifacts are also less prevalent, to non-existent when the phone is cold to touch.
I initially thought this to be an display panel issue that needs replacing. Out of warranty repairs is going to be about CAD $340. With the cooling down work around, I am hoping it may be a less expensive to fix issue.
What do you guys think? Help me out!
TL;DR. Phone started having pink and purple barcodes all of a sudden. Works perfectly with the barcode. Display wont turn on when warm/hot. Everything is back to normal if the phone is cool/cold to touch, until it starts warming up due to usage.
