Does everybody's vibrant heat up like crazy when they are charging their vibrant?
yes I have two of them and they get pretty hot ( you can feel it in the back side underneath speaker)
Mine as well gets hot but it doesnt happen all the time. It's charging right now and it isnt doing it. Weird...
it usually won't get hot unless you're USING it while it's charging.
Mine used to go up to 116 degrees while charging, but them I swapped it out and my new one barely goes past 95

Yes mine gets very hot also. How do you know your phones temperature? Theres a temp guage built into the phone?
Play Sims while charging. That's how I'm planning on keeping warm this winter. Oh wait, Sims keeps crashing now...

Try disabling the Wi-Fi and GPS while charging it....Seems to stay cool when I do this on mine.
When using up a lot of energy and charging at the same time it causes the heat...this is one of the problem with the current battery tech :/..
from experience with other phones..wifi + charging = hot as hell..if you really must use wifi while charging for say tethering then I suggest putting it on a metal surface(which will act as a heatsink in a way) and it won't get hot.
I'm from down south.. And mine sits at 110... seen it at 115 before... Ive never had another phone get as hot..

I noticed this as well too. Seems that it is more noticable if you put in on charging soon after using wifi/gps intensive apps. Maybe they stay on longer when it sees it is on ac power? I even had one point where after over an hour charging there was no noticable gain in battery charge. I imagine it was using so much power that little was left to actually charge the battery. In all cases, a reboot fixed the issue and it charged quickly with little increase in temp.
Kinda remides me of my previous windows mobile phones. Sometimes an app would "hang" even though there was no error message and the app appeared to close down fine, I would notice my battery would be used quickly and the phone would be very warm. Usually it was an app that used wifi or gps that caused the issue. Maybe the app crashed before giving a "release command" or similar to the hardware and it kept on running at full power?
It happened to me twice. My phone went past all of yours. It got to temp of 143F. It was really hot all over the phone. I had to turn it off and take out the battery for it to cool down. It wouldn't even let me charge it cus it was too hot when the phone was off. I woke up to 18% battery charge after 7 hours of charging. It said that the display was using most of the batteries. I believe when you plug in your phone, i noticed a change in the brightness setting and i dont have automatic brightness enable. Now i make sure i fc everything before i charge and the brightness is at 0.

I use battery life from the market, also the phone had a temp gauge but to access it I use the "my device" app from tmobile > storage and battery > battery level
My phone only gets seriously hot, 122 degrees, while using the gps on full brightness

Normal. Remember different phone and different processor .... winter they should be cooler even while charging.
Recently I've noticed my phone dropping percentages within minutes, I've been on my phone for about 30 min just moderately surfing the web and it has dropped almost 30 percent. I tried juice defender, although it seemed it
worked somewhat it was really messing with my data connection. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

As of right now I'm just rooted with the update.zip, I did lag fix but unlag fixed shortly after. Didn't have this problem when I was stock battery actually listed a good amount time.
There are bugs with the displayed battery % not being accurate. Especially if you power down the phone while it's charging.
My Vibrant just eats battery by the minute... I am honestly not sure what is going on. IT's 2.30pm and I barely used the phone and it's down to 53% now from 9am.
What can I do to fix this? I have rooted and installed lag fix from this link

Yea compared to my last two smartphones, the vibrant battery life is no worse. It's definitely better than the n900. But no smart phone's battery life has compared to my blackberry's I used to use.

Fix permissions via recovery! Drain your battery till power down and recharge it fully while off if possible.

I had this issue. Turns out my battery had swollen due to over heating. Excessive use while on the charger. In the end, it would take 7 hours to charge 80%. Hence why it was on the charger.
Doesn't sound like you have the same issue. But of you start experiencing charging issue coupled with rapid draining get the barry replaced. No issues anymore.

From a full charge to not even totally dead cause I fell asleep I had over 4 hours screen time on first full charge. Will see how it goes over the next few days.
on my first charge from 100%-14% I got 4 hours screen time.
Ah four hours is a bit disappointing was hoping for 5-6

I am very interested to see what people are averaging on their devices. It is the one thing that i was concerned about when i chose the One and made me doubt my selection. So far(3rd charge cycle) I am on 5 1/2 hours screen time and 26 hrs up time. I expect your phones to definitely have better battery life. Will be interesting to see. Wife has a S3 and will be looking at S4 but says battery needs to improve a bit to move to the S4. Will keep an eye on this thread.

4h20 with 20% remaining, so about 5h30. it's the 2nd charge. But yestesrday I was rather on a 6h basis, it all depends on what you do. I've tried many web browsers and they seem to drain much more battery than the stock one.
Today at work I streamed for about 8 hours on 3g. Bout the same as my og evo with extended battery
While charging and streaming TuneIn radio app through Bluetooth speaker. It's pretty hot though..
Here's mine, ambient temp is 28c. Not charging only TuneIn Radio dreaming on data.
46 degree c now. It's not that bad considering it was 64 earlier when charging and I live in Singapore

That is nothing, my GS2 would get to 80c.
It's the battery I worry about as 25c is peak operation 40c it's already lost half of its life before recharge. The batteries get hot during charge though isn't probably a bad thing because it increases capacity.

This is what i am worried about too. Since the battery are not removable. Hopefully the heat won't cause any damage to the battery. :fingers-crossed:

Batteries are made to withstand much hotter than 40c If it wasn't the case, batteries would just die in ambient temp in some summer countries

It wont do damage to the battery as long as the battery doesn't go over 60c. It just means it'll discharge quicker and you'll have to put it through another cycle. Modern phones have like 2 years of cycles in them in you charge each day before until the life starts to become noticeable that it dropping off. I think I saw something where they're at about 80% after a year of charging per day. At the same time not using the battery is bad for it too..
So tbh I wouldn't worry about it as contracts last 2 years.

Yeh but they discharge quicker as they become hot, usually the battery doesn't get hot on a summers day unless you leave it out in the sun. That is why they die so quickly under heavy use because they get really hot.
I've seen my battery hit 47 degrees. I asked HTC tech support about this. The guy clearly had no idea but went away and asked someone and came back with the answer that, so long as it's below 55, you should be okay. I hope he's right.

get kernel tuner and look at the "battery temperature". Some apps like GSAM takes the processor temperature and not the battery temp.
Or also dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to the battery statistics page. You should see there your real battery temperature. It's kinda strange about you guys reaching 40c on battery temperature as I live in a tropical country and this month is peak of summer season. And I only get like 27c on my battery temperature right now with regular use.

This is the most puzzling issue for me so far
I fully agree with @Terrorantula the problem is at hot temps it consumes battery quicker
i was using my uncle's unit for a while and i reported it doesnt get hot easily, my own unit is different though, its around 40C all the time during ordinary use as well
im worried about both drain and throttling in gaming
now i have a like an OCD about the previous unit
definitly we need to look into this, the funny part my own unit is supposed to consume less since its PVS3 vs PVS2, im even thinking we got it all wrong about PVS maybe the lower PVS is the better one?
How is the temperature while playing heavy games like DH4
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
I get 40-41 on DH4. Maybe a few moments hit 42.
Right now, I'm charging my phone and using some low-demand apps and I'm sitting at 38. I believe it usually sits a little lower than that.

DH4?
Dungeon Hunter 4. It's a decent looking game, so I imagine it pushes the phone fairly hard. I've come across times when it has noticeably slowed down. But that may be due more to lack of optimizations for the S600.
It's a gameloft game though, so you know they will try to screw you for money. And that is definitely the case with this game. Really good game, but you gotta be patient.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I get high temps very often, I guess this is the cost of the premium aluminum build.
I'd think the aluminum build would help keep temps lower as it transfers heat more easily. I'm guessing the S600 and the battery combination are the cooker in this one.
...how the hell does Samsung get away with it's faster clocked s600?

Mine was getting warm from the start. Thought it was lack of SIM, put that in and made some adjustments and its getting pretty darn hot... Am I alone on this?
When I first got it and put it on the fast charger and was playing with it. I noticed same thing it felt really warm even after i had it off the charger, but today I have not experienced the same. I have been using it pretty regularly but have not had it on the charger or played any games (at work) so I will report back once I do

I always wondered why my ear glowed the the dark after using my phone.
@Fantach read up on SARS levels on phones. It also makes the area of the body warm.
I plugged mine in with the Turbo charger when I got it (was at 43%) and did all the downloading and updating apps. It felt pretty hot, so I checked it with Gsam battery and it was 118 degrees. That's hotter than my M9 gets doing the same thing, but the M9 stays hot longer.
After it reached 100% (which was pretty fast), it cooled down pretty quick... It also didn't take too long to get back down to 70% (maybe 3 hours). Standby time is pretty good, but SOT seems to drain the battery pretty quick. But this is a new phone (basically a new ROM flash) and will settle in a few days and I expect to see better battery stats.

Heat is 100% fine. And Motorola Nexus 6 was a lot lower than iPhone.... Like myself and 2 other guys said. It's like the phone adjusts. It gets very hot AT FIRST, then it drastically cools down. Did an Antutu and it didn't even heat up. I swear, heat isn't an issue.

Thank you for your clarification, i feel much better now :victory:
Mine got hot today as well. It was downloading my apps. A little more past 100 apps from the Play Store. It's not a constant issue since I have been using the MXP
I've had this phone for 3 days and it has not calmed down. Still gets hot and this screen destroys battery time. It has nice standby but when the screen is a battery hog. The temps get high with any real usage. My Nexus 6 has been much better with temps and battery. Wondering if it's a bad faulty batch or if this is the processor/screen.
It's a shame because this phone is a dream besides all that. But I am suspect to keeping this with the overheat and battery drain.
