Hi All,
i have figured something out:
If i charge my MDA PRO and i touch the (RVS) solid body of it my finger gets an energy shock. I Only feel it as the MDA PRO is closed.......weird!
If I open the screen and i touch the body i dont feel it.
More of you people has felt this? (i mean if you are charging the phone and calling with it (so put the phone at your face :S) i dont know if this is normal ????
Ok that was it, just fresh figured it out so i thougth let post it......!
nobody?
What you feel is a slight static charge from the metal casing. I've had a few devices like this. I think its due to the high amount of current/voltage being delivered to the batteries.
No shock, but if you slide your finger on the shell of the device, you can feel enrgey passing through the device which is quite normal.
yeh, i get it all the time with my XDA Exec..... nasty loud snappy static shock. anything we can do to avoid it?
Wear your slippers when if you are walking on a carpeted floor. This is dangerous as it can cause damage to your data on you RAM and ROM if the conditions are right.
ok ok thanks guys so my universal is OK
i thought maybe something wrong!
OK Thanks!
ps is there an way to remove the t-mobile logo at the top (at the shock-plate hehe) without scrathing it...? And has someone done it (is there an picture available how the device looks like then?)
I've noticed that the device is pretty hot. I'm not sure, which is why I want to verify this with you.
I've used the "Battery Indicator" app which shows that the temp is 34-37 Celsius.
Does that seem about right?
Thank you
yep that's perfectly normal : )

Really? Cause it always feels hot in my hand....
Could it be that I'm just hot (cause the weather here is hot as well)?
What would be too hot ( I mean what temperature ).
I've had the phone restart itself twice yesterday after getting too hot (don't know the temp it was at though)

34-37c is absolutely normal. Its quite cold where I am atm, and the battery is 37c.
You've also no idea that the phone restarted due to heat. I've gone through 5 replacements now for various reasons, and they all got pretty warm under use. However one of them got stupidly hot, so hot you couldn't even hold onto it without hurting your hand. Thats why I got that one replaced.
And yes, if the ambient temperature is hot, it'll make the phone feel hotter aswell.
None of my GSII's have ever restarted on their own though. Could've been due to an app/widget though.
There has been 2-3 threads on this, one of which I created myself.
It's normal for the device to get quite hot, especially around the camera at the back and the screen near the top of the phone when gaming or watching videos over wifi. It shouldn't get so hot it can't be held though. It also doesn't help if you have a case on the phone, especially a thick gel-type one. I'm currently looking for a thin perforated cover, like the official Samsung one, but unlike that one with protection for the top and the bottom of the device. I suspect these holes will help with heat dissipation.
The phone has inbuilt safety for overheating I believe, although mine has never gotten hot enough to activate it. The phone will shut down if it thinks any more heat will lead to damage.

Thanks!
Was just about to ask about the case, since I bought a black gel one.
So do any of you know of a case that won't affect the heat ( a lot )?
I am honestly afraid to walk with the device without a case so that I don't break the screen (or scratch it) or break the phone in half (it looks so delicate!)
Like I said, the perforated covers look the best for preventing heat build up, although the official Samsung case doesn't protect the top or bottom corners, which perversely are the most likely parts to be damaged if the phone is dropped. I'd like to get hold of a cover that looks like that but with all round protection.
But, is it also "normal" that the phone gets incredibly hot when you play music with headphones on?
I seem to have experienced all the issues everybody went through (except for the shutdown) but nobody ever mentioned music (i am talking about 3 minutes playback not hours!)
Anybody with the same issue?
Take the back case off and smell near the top left of the phone..
When mine got hot a weird smell came from it.
It's probably worth checking with something like osmonitor that you haven't got a stuck task.
A few times mine has got really hot and it was a process using 96% cpu...
Most recently it was SocialHub which I don't even use! Had to reboot the phone to stop it as it wouldn't die.
I also had extremal heating in that area while playing angrybirds and after I move app from SDcard to internal memory - All comes OK. So I suppose it is because your apps ar data (music etc) located on SD and some of them due to speed limits heats during work. (it is in addition to WiFi and other network activity). Cause when I plug SD into comp by adapter and perform long file framsfer it also heats
So is this thing hotter than the original Galaxy S? I can live with the phone at that temp, but any higher is questionable.
It will shut down if it gets to hot. And I guess it takes quite a bit because a few months ago on engadget.com I saw some video of an iPhone a palm phone and I think a nexus one on a grill to see which one will either break or shut down first. And after like a minute on a grill it finally shut off. So I wouldn't worry about it unless its so hot u can't hold it. Once with my evo I was using 4g GPS Bluetooth. And charging the phone and it got up to around 115° (around 46° in celcius) and was fine. I shut it down tho when I noticed it got that high tho haha

Mine (running XWKE7) went to 50 c when gaming "we rule" in game hub with charger plugged in. No external SD installed though.
Also keep in mind that fatter phones have more space to dissipate the heat. This phone is thin thin. That heat has to go somewhere! That's why I want a case that vents

Swyped from my overclocked GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I think my phone is sometimes very hot.But after I have ROM KE7 I think is better.

as soon as I start playing "real football 11" i can essentially cook an egg on the phone. Other games are fine though
Could it be due to the installation of overclocking apps? Didn't notice it was this hot during my first few days of usage.
In the first few days after I got my SGS II the phone went really very hot every time I charged it or when I played a game or even when I watched a movie.
Since I use Lite'ning Rom and banned some system apps the problem vanished.
So for me it seems to be a software-sided problem.
Alright so I posted before about my screen sticking, I need to restate what problem I'm having as it has completely changed
Problem: Touchscreen will not fully register "drags" and "holds" instead, registers it as a tap and just ignores all other movement.
this causes problems scrolling in Gmail, browser, and other apps. It also makes it impossible to play angry birds or any other game because I cannot press and hold. I also have extreme difficulty using pattern unlock. It simply registers a tap.
Things I've tried:
Happens on stock 3.2 (I received XOOM with this, nothing older)
Happens with a rooted ROM (tiamat's hammerhead) and related kernel and custom recovery
I've tried removing the XOOM from my folio case, it also happened in the rubber case and when it was in my bare hands
I've already modded the touchscreen controller (Placing foam on the controller and connector so more pressure is put on it when the lid is closed).
I've rebooted the XOOM Multiple times.
When flashing ROMs, I did a full data/cache/davlik wipe. I've only done this one time.
This happens when docked and charging too.
I've throughly cleaned my hands and the touch screen with alcohol wipes, I've also tried microfiber cloth.
I'm on the verge of re-selling this item and trading it in for an iPad or ASUS Transformer (which I really don't want to do). I bought it used from another person who claims they barely used it, and I believe them. This thing still had the plastic wrap on it and is immaculate, flawless, pretty much perfect condition.
I've googled around and this is an uncomfortably common problem with nobody really giving any answers or suggestions on fixes..... Anyone know something I can't find?
Haaallpp??? IDK What else to do!
Amen to that. My one has had the same issues out of the box. I have sent this away for early life failure (Telstras DOA process) only to come back with no fault found. It takes the fun out of using the tablet to the point it becomes a chore. I work as a rep in telco and have seen many xooms with the same issue.
There is nothing anywhere that provides a solution and never gets acknowledgement. If anyone has found a solution if you can share that would be great.

Min ehas same issue, something isw rong with the tempreture xoom's screen can't handle, everytime it happens for me I press the power button 2 times, so the screen goes off & on & everything goes back to normal.
When I traveled to a colder place than where I live, it never happened to my xoom, higher than 30°C it happenes (most of time more than 33°) & less than 29°C you're good to go & it never happens.
I can't blieve such an issue in this very great tablet.
Oww & by tempreture I meant the battery tempreture which is affected by the weather, mine works awesome in 25°

If you are overclocking, which definitely can raise the temperature, you should think about setting a high temperature profile in Set CPU or CPU Master, whatever app you are using. That way, when a certain temperature is reached, the cpu goes to only a certain speed until it cools down.
I really hope temperature isn't the culprit... I live in Arizona and its over 85 most of the time...over the summer outside temp is 115+ normally, kind of ridiculous.
I'm getting very disappointed with this XOOM thanks to the faulty screen that seems common... I think I'm gonna just auction it off and be done with it :/
Hey,
I've Galaxy Note 4 N910G. It got heat up with use. It got so much heated up that it can iron clothes. I noticed that it happens when I increase screen's brightness, and one biggest thing to notice is that whole body is cool expect the upper part (where camera lies). And in upper portion, screen side is hot when touched. So I remove plastic case and check whether battery or camera, sensor are hot, but it didn't seems to, only the area that lies under receiver is hot when touched.
I concluded brightness factor due to following reason:
-I've played GTA LCS to a very long period in very low brightness and phone didn't heat up a lot, but yes, a little.
-I've then played the same for very same period but with mid brightness and phone started heating up, then a lot!
-I've used my Note 4 for a very long time downloading and installing apps in minimum brightness and it doesn't heat up.
-I've played on the music with screen off for a long time, and it still don't heat up.
-While backing up or doing anything in TWRP recovery it get heat a lot.
It doesn't mean that I should you Note 4 with minimum brightness. It was running on stock firmware, so I flashed Dr. Kretan custom Rom, I thought it would help, but it doesn't.
Please help me, what should I do?
Hmm that's a strange part that heats up since the CPU is on the side near the power button. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/rZAAWFWV4qobuSI4.huge
Normally when a device gets hot at a certain point other than the CPU it usually is water damage or a broken IC (component) on the mainboard.

i guess its snapdragon chip problem, mine gets heat up but not until where i can iron clothes, as twrp backup doesnt heat mine, flashing and booting rom for the first time will heat up. i always try to cool it before anything bad happens

Thanks for your answers. I notice this thing again with Xposed module for CPU temperature in status bar. And you got it right, it is CPU issue, so, how can I fix it? Should I underclock CPU? Or is there anything on market like some heat sink compound! I really have no idea. Ironing of cloth is just saying to show what I'm talking about, currently when it get heat up, I put it in front of Air Conditioner! I appreciate your answering.

i do that too when i feel like its really getting hotter, you can underclock cpu abit but no too low. any other method to fix that heating im not sure. i guess underclock and play your phone in a cold room is the solution
Anybody else have this trouble.I drive a semi and use Google maps constantly. After 2-3 hours use,it's gets very hot, the sides are almost untouchable
Iv'e noticed that myself but I'm also having heat issues throughout. The phone has been getting hot even with no apps open. I would reboot it and it solves the problem but 2 or 3 days later, same thing. Not sure whats causing it but I can definitely agree with you on the gps. Happens all the time when I use it.
same here. German phone with Aroma Superman Rom 1.8.1
. Google maps or navigon are burning that phone. hope for Software update.
Having excessive heat deteriorates electronic boards, and it's parts much much faster. Along with the phones antenna, screen, and parts that are glued like the digitizer thats glued to the backside of our screens won't last nearly as long. BUT, there are apps out on Google Play Store that supposedly are made to cool your phones CPU down, or whatever is making our phones get so hot...
