Hi there, may I ask those who are using the HD, does the HD has a heating problem? I know that winmo devices heat up, and it can be felt especially obvious in devices like the Sony's X1. How about the HD?
My HD doesnot have this problem.
It heats up quite alot, especially when connected to a computer. But it's not a problem. Everything works fine, no freezing or rebooting.
Mine does not, my Omnia had a real problem with heat
mine gets warm after a lot of use but i wouldnt say it gets HOT ever
I have GPS and WiFi on all the time and it is quite hot. It's got even hotter when it is charging. You can use it as hands warmer in winter ;-)
Mine gets a little bit hot when I use it in combination with my carcharger!
Is the heat an annoyance when you guys put in your pants/jeans pocket?
The heat in my pants has nothing to do with my Touch HD
Nah doesn't get hot if left in your pockets idle.
It can get warm/little hot when charging or using anything intensive such as streaming youtube etc.
it gets warm when charged/connect to PC, gets a little bit hot when i talk for a long time directly on the fone, but no problem if i talk over a bluetooth headset.

Ic...alrights, thanks for all the inputs, everyone.
Just picked up this phone today, and so far I love it! The only complaint I have about it is how warm the back/underside gets after using it for a little bit (more than 5 minutes). Does anyone notice this happening with their phones?
Short answer: No
Long answer: No, not at all
Mine doesn't get hot at all. The G2 I had prior got very hot.

The only time my phone gets warm is when I playing angry birds. And If I play angry birds while it's charging it gets hot.
For whatever reason, after rooting...it was getting a little on the warm side when I installed setcpu. It didnt seem to be working correctly anyhow so I uninstalled it...no more warm phone.
im runnin it stock out the box with a few apps downloaded. i have only felt it getting warm when i have had the wifi tethering(hotspot) on.
Mine doesnt at all.... my nexus one used to get warm while charging and i havent experienced that with this device at all
For those of you who are NOT experiencing the phone getting warm, do you have your phone in a case? I'm wondering if the cases are keeping the heat in, thus making some of the phones get warm.

So you are saying that the phone in a case is keeping it cool...?
Regardless, mine is in a case, and it's very cool to the touch. In fact, SetCPU says the battery temp is 77°F right now.

No, I was asking if people who've claimed their phones run cool (not hot), is it because your phone isn't in a case? Mine is in the T-Mo case that has the rubber insert with the white plastic backing, and it definitely gets warm after using it for a while. I'm just wondering if having a case on these phones is making them run warm, as if the heat can't dissipate from the phone.
Sorry for any confusion.

No case here.
My first MT4G run very hot, especially with wifi tethering on, and had connection issues. Returned and got exchanged. My new phone doesnt have the connection issues and run much cooler with better battery life.

Hmmm...possible QC issue? Mine gets a little warm from time to time, and may be directly related to what's running. I've been on the xda app for a good 30 minds now and it's a little warm on the battery door, but not significantly, and definitely not hot. Playing Angry Birds it gets warmer, but that **** consumes battery like it's goin out of style anyway.
I've not noticed it get uncomfortably hot at all though.

The only time my phone has gotten warm so far was after a couple of hours playing Angry Birds. No case.

Same here. I was thinking maybe it was the metal back-plate acting as a "conductor" from the heat of the battery, but thus far, I've only felt it get hot while playing Angry Birds (no case too).
Hello, I'm just as you are, Brand new out of the box, I'm using it a bit...gets warm.
If its charging...gets warm. Battery goes down fast also. Not that I dont play with it but I cannot make it thru the day with single charge. I will propably get two more batteries.
Mine seems to get warm pretty often and I don't feel like the battery is lasting very long either, I have posted in some of the battery threads about that topic. I wonder if I need to return it and get a new one.
It doesn't seem like it should get that warm so frequently. I have a case but I only use it when I am out and about, and it still gets hot when I use it at work or home without the case on.
Mine wasn't perm root running stock. But running iced glacier with the overclock kernel, it gets warm, even though I don't overclock it. Stock stay about 32 C, iced glacier gets up around 42 C
I have not noticed mine getting warm at all, even under heavy use such as Angry Birds. My G1 on the other hand, would get quite warm even under moderate use.
Seems like when,i use my phone between 20 30 min intervals it gets real hot in the back. I have a case and the whole case gets hot.
Today while listening to pandora for 45 mins while cutting my hair it just turned off. Phone was hot....
Anyone else with this issue??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I don't have a case but I ran pandora for 2 and half hours today and the back was still cool to the touch.
I haven't had any issues with this. Used the sirius/xm app for about 2 hours and it wasn't even warm.
mine actually gets really hot as well. i used google navigation for about 30 minutes today and the back got really hot, mostly at the bottom half of the phone. i have a incipio feather case and the case got warm as well. i haven't had the overheating affect any performance issues though but am a little worried that it's getting so hot. are you going to bring yours in to have it looked at?

Same here, used navigation for about 20 minutes and the phone was very warm.
im not sure what to make of this. the first day i had the phone, i had a missed call, and the phone got pretty warm in my pocket.?!?!?! later, talking on the phone and it got to be almost HOT.
yesterday i had a couple of 20 minute browsing sessions and the phone just got good and warm. but it dosnt seem to effect permormance at all, and the battery isnt draining too fast or anything, so im not worried about mine at this point.
nope mine is always cool as a cucumber
Mine gets warm/gentle hot when browsing or doing any stuff that needs data transfer over 3G/H.
Have a movie going on (from SD) for ~2 hours now, and it is still cool.
Having come from the N1 where this was a constant issue I can tell you it is due to placement of parts. The CPU sits immediately behind the lower part of the phone. Heavy CPU use will result in a hot phone.
Also keeping it in your pocket will heat it up too. Body heat and background processes that use the CPU.
It is only and issue if you are very hot for a long time. Can result in reboots and crashing.
The back of mine did get rather warm in the car after using Nav for ~30 minutes, however this doesn't seem any different than what my old Tilt did and is normal for smart phones.
If your phone does actually get hot enough to power itself off, then I'm guessing either you've got it in a very poor case (or warm pocket with no ventilation), or it's defective.
Pandora alone shouldn't be enough to make the phone hot. I'd suggest try running it with the phone sitting on a table and no case. If it still gets hot after 20 minutes, exchange it. If it doesn't, get a new case.
I also have the feather incipio case. It got so hot it crashed.... Nice case but worried if it keeps getting hot it may, cause, life of phone to, be a lot shorter!!!
If it happens again I'm going to take it to ATT.

My Atrix that I exchanged today was getting warm alot also. Shoot the one I'm using now is warm. I figured the phone just has that problem. I have a friend who complain of theirs getting hot. Neither of us have experienced the shut down issue though. And I get it just from browsing the web!! I would have expected Motorola to discover this temperature problem during testing. They probably decided "it's not extreme, so we'll still sale a couple million." Heck Apple HAS BIGGER issues with signal problem & they are still selling like Red Lobster's biscuits.

Same here, the bottom of my phone gets warm from just browsing, which I'm not used to at all. However, it's good to know that I'm not the only one, although I wish none of us experienced this.
I seems when im only using edge 3g or hsdpa it gets hot ....not when using wifi

INFUSE overheating HELP
So I got a replacement infuse and still I have the same problem temperature on it gets really hot. I haven't let it to hot mainly because I don't have a case or cover on it.... it only gets that hot when using it while charging and its not the battery. The hottest points are the SIM card and top right corner on the back....any help would be appreciated
yea im overclocked soooo i kinda expect some heat +(wile useing my custom webtop it gets real warm and sometimes the setcpu -cpu temp alarm goes off too but i havent had it ever reboot on its own i generaly just pull the batt for a few min and its all good

Hot
Same thing... I am using Faux's 2.0 kernel. Using Antutu CPU Master Free for now to adjust speeds. I've seen the temp @ 41C a couple of times. I have the profile set to powersave with a min of 216 and max of 1300.
I have not had any shutdown issues but, I do have an issue with my widgets disappearing on me randomly.
I just started a new job where I'm in a truck all day. I've been using the GPS, the radio, with facebook, twitter, texts coming and going like crazy, weatherbug elite running all the time, among other things. My phone gets hotter than you can imagine, keeps giving me a warning of overheating, and sometimes it randomly restarts... Anyone else ever have this problem with overuse?
Case on phone?
Do you have a case on your phone? I have a softgel case on my DX, and it runs hot when I have the screen active for long periods of time and either the radio's toggling between a weak 3G and 1X signal, or I'm using the phone as a WiFi tether.
When I remove the case, the overheating goes away. It seems that the DX uses the metal case to help dissipate heat.

Do you possibly know how hot it gets exactly? There are plenty of apps that can tell you this. A temp of over 40C is usually bad but if you're under that I think you're ok

Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas how to keep my phone cool in the summer?
Since the touchscreen works with heat, I can't use it in the summer.
In the manual i think it said it doesn't work above 35°C room temp., but in the summer it gets about 45°C in the shade.
It's only spring here, and it already makes touches that I didn't make, I use-to blow on the screen to keep it cool, but it doesn't work now.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Kind of the same here. Summer is about to begin, and my Galaxy S i9000 gets really hot - in the following places:
- just to the right of the Samsung logo in the top-right corner
- on the screen surface
- on the back where the battery is
and then if it gets too hot it automatically reboots, crashes and has a really bad lag.
Doesn't anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?? It getting very much hotter here.

Um isn't that gunna keep the heat in?? 55°C SIM Card, isn't probibly the best idea....
When battery is discharging,the inner electric resistance becomes bigger/larger,especially when calling/playing music/gaming.But the current that the phone needed mustn't reduce,so a large amount of energy will be wasted and of course,the battery gets hot.
BTW,when the battery is under 60¡ãC,it's safe.
Regular data connection/high CPU occupancy rate/blablabla can make a device hot.
Maybe you can try to flash a stock rom and see the problem solved or not.
Sorry for my poor English.
My phone goes up to 55°C with no problems, just my fingers sweaty lol. Only happens when I'm charging, on the phone and using it at the same time though.

Thanks for the post guy's :laugh:, but the main problem really is: when the room temp. is hot, it causes the phones temp. to rise also, and then it doesn't register touches on the screen. This also happens when the phone is really hot [thanks for the tips, I'll turn data off, and not use while charging.]
I am seriously considering freezing my phone, to cool it off enough so that I can use it.

thats for sure mate.Room temp. went high,of course the device got hot,theres no doubt~
next,about unregistered touch,the touchscreen we are using (what's the name of it ??),the best temperature to use is between 0-35C,when it's >>(higher higher )than 35C(50C and so on )there will be some unregistered touches so dont worry if this 'tooooo high' temperature only lasts for a short period of time.But if the screen works in the highhighhigh temperature,it may cause damages.
