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 .
While using phone (longer) or while playing games with Brightness set to 70-80% the phone tends to overheat and freeze.
But when brightness is set to automatic (in my current enviroment its mostly low brigthnes) the whone doesnt overheat or freeze.
Is this behavior normal for HD2. IM using it for 4 days now.
Freeze on heating is an issue with the HD2. Mostly when batt-temp goes over 45 °C.
Gives a lot of fun in high summer
either send it in for repair or replace your battery. I use my phone constantly when plugged in at night and it has never frozen on me dispite 100% brightness and being in a silicone case..
my gf is a chef, and she has to constantly go in and out of a freezer at work. the freezer is set to 0 degrees fahrenheit.
but she doesn't stay in the freezer longer than a minute at most.
her phone stays in her pocket, and when she comes out of the freezer, it's powered off.
according to articles i've read, if your phone powers off due to a cold environment, don't power it on right away. so she would wait to power it on. and when she does, its power is depleted to 0% - 5% all the way from 80% - 100%. but it doesn't happen all the time. other times is the phone would be really warm.
and only one article i found, claims that Samsung phones are operational from -4 through 122 degrees fahrenheit. (and Apple phones are operational from 32 through 95 degrees fahrenheit).
should i buy a new battery? or is the phone itself ruined?
What is normal temeprature on this phone with normal use messenger,wifi facebook ... my phone is 60celisius but not hot, normal with hand
On high load, the CPU can get up to 70 degrees. But the phone will thermal throttle if it gets too hot to prevent any damage.
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.
