Hi guys,
I don't know if it's only on my device, but since I have the WP7 Roms my device starts sometimes to get very hot. It usually happens when I play high res. games after 5 min.
Do anybody knows why that happens?
Is there any solution for that problem?
Can it be that the HD2 really don't fit the system requierements for WP7?
At the beginning I didn't mind, but after every time, my battery runs out of energy quite faster then normal and it starts to suck me.
Thanks
After playing some games or using some apps my phone gets very hot to. My solution was to get some bread to get a toast while i had the heat on.
I guess you cover the battery door with your hand or something, and the phone can't get enough cooling. Gets very hot from time to time, and I have even removed the battery a few times to make sure it didn't blow up or melt or whatever.
Annoying. You are not alone!
Same Problem here. When I play movies with the HTC youtube app, my hd2 will reset.
im having the same issue, it seems like with any app even market place is does it to me
It is a possiblity to get a better cooling for the HD2, the battery cover is made by Aluminium, long time ago, I found a thread here where someone polished the battery cover to make it more beautiful.
But as positive side effect there was not color which could reflect the heat back to the battery so it was getting better!!

PS: At beginning use 1500 with Water at the End use 3000 also with water.
The paper is really fine you should get it at a car shop, I got mine there.
It is normal that it takes time, I needed 1 hour for mine
I'm curious now... what would happen if we throw some arctic silver on the door? Does anyone know if it stays mushy or does it harden?

LOL! Funny stuff!
I don think is windows 7 I thing is the MAGLDR 1.3 cause its happening on Android too.
I have windows and Android in dual boot the problem started after I upgraded cant watch movies or play games for more then 5-10 min max.

Would be a nice reason but I always thought that the Mag 1.13 only loads to grant the access to the Rom. I didn't knew that it stays running in the background
consistent overheating can cause permanent damage. you guys might want to go back to android.
I never tried Android, but I heared it is still a little big buggy and that WM is more stable on HD2

the person you heard from is absolutely wrong....try it!
overheating is the only reason im not on wp7....hope the next release will somehow not heat up
My HD2 did same reboot and freezes especially when on charge. I found overheating problem and solution for my own HD2 runing WP7. It may work(should) work for all others if phone still operating when cold. But it requires disassembly of phone. CPU and flash located on the bottom side of main board - close to LCD. When i opened phone i found that metal shield which covers cpu is almost touching metal back of lcd (back of LCD even covered additionaly with cooper foil which is good. So some phones may touch this big piece of metal with cooper and works well, but some not then problem comes. So my idea was to get thermo contact all the way from cpu to that metal backing of LCD. I opened shield cover of cpu put thermo paste on cpu and other big chip, close cover. I put 3 layers of additional self adhesive cooper foil on the back of LCD metal, so when i place board back cover will touch foil with a little preassure. put thermo paste betweet cpu cover and foil layers, place board back and assemble phone. It is now perfectly working in any conditions. I didn't have even any single reboot after modification. It is T-mobile HD2. very stable now. If any question ask.
WP7 absolutly stable on HD2. The only one problem is take out heat from cpu. All unstabilities related to overheating. I already prove it on my HD2.
It is kind of design mistake, which can be solved with some effort.
i mean overheating of CPU(as it is main source of heat) and close area around. If heat is distriruted widly around then temperature of cpu and its area drops much.

I am really interested to try that.
I don't know if it's ok for you but could you maybe please make an video on youtube and share the link for that?
It would help a lot of users here
When i did that modification i was not 100 % sure it will help as much as it is now. So i didn't record any kind of video or picture. To record it now i have to disassemble everything again, but it is not as easy as 1-2-3. If i will have chance to modify another one than defenetly i will record video. But at least you can find now official HTC video how disassemble and assemble phone back. Search for 'disassemble HD2' on internet. When it will be disassembled open metal cover of cpu(back of the main board) with small screwdriver or knife - you will see Qualcomm cpu, put white thermo paste on CPU and memory and close cover. You need cooper foil - amount of layers you adjust according to your particular situation it could be 1,2,3,4 layers of foil to have phisical contact. to metal backing of LCD. It is dificult to believe, but after that i have like totaly different phone.
Even WP7 battery symbol show much more accurate level of capacity left. I am not sure, but seems like battery operation time is also increased(difficult to measure 100%). If done properly no one will regret.
I do not have this issue on WP7 at all, either thru high internet use or high app use or anything, either in Android or WP7.
-2.15.00
-mag 1.13
-DFT ROM
I want to add some - most difficult for me was to remove plastic case. Take your time and use only plastic tools when you remove casing from phone. Actualy it is not as simple as it is on official video. But if case removed you can say 70-80% is done. The rest is just take some time. Do it with care and all will be OK.
I saw another thread about the phone getting hot but couldnt find it.. so im making another thread
When i play certain games the phone gets very hot near the top left.. both sides.
When i take the cover off the back i can smell something.. its not a burning smell.. iv never smelt something like this before.. its like a really.. really weird liquorice smell.
Iv downloaded some temperature apps but none of them give the correct reading.
The game i was running is "Dungeon Hunter".. i even ran an old snake game (the ones from old nokia phones) and even then it got really hot. Though most of the games i play on it the phone doesnt get hot.. just warm-ish
So i was just wondering what temperature app should i use and does your phone get really hot/ weird smell coming from it?
Thanks!
ps: even though the phone is cool now i can still smell it
mine2gets reli hot, even the footy game crashes
Im really thinking of sending this phone back now.
The smell i get off of it is not normal at all.
I get scared of the phone overheating/ burning when playing games etc..
and again.. after 1hour the phone still smells the same..
My phone got pretty warm when I played some zombie hunter and browsed the internet. After an hour the area around the lense and the screen were very warm. Though I wouldn't say they were uncomfortable to use because of it.
As for smell, apart from the new phone/plastic smel, I didn't notice anything.
My advice: if you notice weird behaviour you think can be traced back to heat, give it back. Otherwise, trust the built in safety stuff.

were you charging the phone at the time? cuz mine gets hot when playing games with it being plugged in. there was once when the temperature shot up to 50 degree C which quickly went back to normal range after unplugging the phone.

I wasnt charging my phone at the time.
also the battery is fine it doesnt get hot at all.. its just the top left of the phone.. where the CPU is?
Does any one have or know of an app that shows the correct temperature of the phone/ CPU?
bump
again.. any one know of an app that gives an accurate reading of the CPU temperature?
My phone got pretty hot earlier, I was playing angry birds whilst plugged in, the screen was getting very hot, the top in particular.
I use a hard-ish gel case. The one with the kick stand
It's normal for phones (especially thin ones, where the back is plastic) to get hot during heavy CPU intensive use. This is very common when charging also. As a general rule of thumb, it should never exceed a heat you can't hold. So if you are finding it really too hot to hold or uncomfortable I would definitely take it back. Otherwise, as long as it doesn't exceed 40/50 degrees, it's likely ok.
However no phone should be smelling like that! I suppose a new plastic smell might occur if it's brand new, but certainly not as you describe.
PS: Just a thought... do you have a case on it? Often, a plastic / gel case can make the phone a lot hotter and I suppose that could also be the source of the smell?
its normal to get hot whilst charging tho, i guess the phone has safty measures if it gets too hot.
Maybe its more of software fix for games rather than hardware problem, just like my pc graphics card that used to get very hot and force a restart but once a software update (firmware) came out and installed it was fine.
The CPU is probably specced for like 80C, heat shouldnt be a problem unless you place in 40C sunlight or something.
The smell is of course another matter.
I didnt have any case on it.
Iv returned the phone for now and i might wait for the iphone5
Don't get me wrong.. i love the phone but it shouldnt be getting that hot/ smell coming from it when hot.
Who knows.. i might rebuy the phone later.. but as of right now my mind is set on waiting for the iphone5.
Thanks for your help anyway =)
Did you ever smell SGS1?
If you did, is it same kind of smell or not?
It smells too really weird if you take the back cover off, really not a big issue I think.
I have the same problem when I played the Pro evolution soccer. After 3 minutes, the zone of the virtual direction pad was very very hot. I think it's a problem when we push hardly on a very thin screen multitouch like GS2. It's really a serious problem. Anybody can verify? I think this should be a sticky topic!!!!!!!!!!!

Was it the top end of the phone? If so then that's where the CPU is, so its got nothing to do with a thin multitouch screen. That area is bound to get hotter than the rest of the phone.
Problem is that everyone got their own definition of "hot". I mean, even my computer monitor is "hot" at the top and bottom while its cold at the center (backlighting heat it up). It doesnt hurt its function the slightest. Electronics do this, plain and simple.
I find it very hard to believe that Samsung could have missed heat dissipation issues, unless they never tested their own phone for a single minute.

Yes, it was the top left end on my phone. I quitted the game as soon as I realized that the phone was burning really really hot, in 20 minutes before I have to turn it off. I can't imagine a phone can be "hot" like that, it's unacceptable. Try the game Pro evolution soccer and you'll see. I'll try some more games to verify
The phone feels hot (well hotter then you would expect) when I am playing game, browsing webs or charging it. I am a little bit concerned but decided to keep the phone which is such a powerful mean machine and too good for me to let go.
I hope they do honour the two years manufacture's warranty if the phone does melt in the future.

If you use a custom rom or root your phone it will void your warranty so you will be left with a very nice £500 melted slab.

I understand that electronics get hot but atleast a screen has air vents and because its much bigger it can spread the heat around the product.
Did you ever smell SGS1?

I never owned the SGS1 but at first when i bought the SGS2 i did smell it every now and then when it was warm but it didnt smell of nothing.. though when it got really hot it started to smell.
its amazing how ive played with my phone to death the last 3 days and never got hot. Maybe a little warm but nothing uncomfortable. Maybe the first batch had some defects or something but mine is running perfectly. Only problem I am having is all these damn warning signs that popup.
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

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.
I just bought the nexus 4 and it was running very smooth on stock. But the battery life was kind of bad and the back got hot very fast. I decided to flash faux kernel. Then i set the governor to intellidemand (like many suggested) and didnt touch anything else. Now the phone lags a bit and it heats just as much as stock. Anything i've missed?

you have a quad core phone with a glass back, itll get hot with use and youll feel the heat escaping through the back glass. this is normal.

your battery will get hot too, when playing games, especially when plugged in. what temp is it reaching? how about cpu temp? hot doesnt say much, hot/cold is relative. give me a temperature. i dont use faux kernel, so i cant help you with it. i use trinity kernel at its default(1026mhz, all 4 cores enabled, ondemand/deadline. again, heat is normal. having a glass back just makes it feel like its too hot. the glass is there to cool off the phone, transfer the heat to the atmosphere. if it was plastic or metal, it wouldnt feel as hot. if your phone gets too hot, itll reach the safety shutdown and shut itself off. before that point, thermal throttle kicks in too cool off your device. all thermal throttle does is reduce your cpu speed.
I wanted to start the topic about over heating.
My N4 is very hot when i use it normaly. I instaled battery info and i have buld infos. Battery temp. Is about 37°c but it feels like 50°c. Its located around the camera.
Is that normal? Does anybody else have that overheating issue?

37C is normal. I've seen my battery go up to 46C before heavy throttling, but generally it sits around 35-42C depending on what it is I do. My thermal throttle starts when battery hits 40C.

overheating isnt an issue for the nexus 4. 37C is normal, the average human body temp is 37C. things "feel" hot on the back because the back is glass. its glass so that it can transfer heat out of the phone quicker. its safe for the battery to get near 60C and for the cpu to get to its cpu shutdown temp(95-100C).

Both 37c and 50c are normal. You don't have an overheating problem and neither does anyone else on our forums. We reaaaally need a sticky about this. I'm not trying to be an ass about it, but this has been beaten to death. Just because the phone feels warm doesn't mean it's overheating.

Hey everyone -
Not sure if you've experienced this but I have the At&t HTC One 32GB model and I noticed that it heats up when watching videos or even downloading something. It gets over 100F as I have a battery monitor which informs me and I feel how uncomfortable it is. anyone else expericing this and maybe we'll need to root and Use Set CPU to add a profile which underclocks the CPU when it goes over 90 or something like that
I could just have a faulty device but i've read a few articles where people mentioned this but it doesn't get much attention -probably because people don't wanna bad mouth the phone so to speak. who knows
Maybe a Kernel and software update will help along with battery drain.

The heat is normal, you will find that the SoC can safely go up to 60 degrees Celsius and possibly more. The reason you feel it is due to aluminium being very good at dissipating the heat and as your hands are touching the metal, they conduct that heat
Its really just a case of either getting a case/cover. OR hold the device with two hands with the bottom of your palm (wrist end) pressed into the two sides of the phone (landscape) This way you get minimal heat to your hands and the device can cool itself as more air will get to the back

Its really just a case of either getting a case/cover. OR hold the device with two hands with the bottom of your palm (wrist end) pressed into the two sides of the phone (landscape) This way you get minimal heat to your hands and the device can cool itself as more air will get to the back

sounds great but it even heats up when the case is on it.. all phones heat up but this is pretty hot. i bet if they did that melting butter experiment with this chip, it will melt with absolutely no problem lol. this may sound strange but sometimes when im holding it and its hot, i use my mind and it cools down off and on.. goodness knows i be trynna make that work because i know how everything is really connected but yeah
hope they address this somehow
thank you for your response and others

Yeah its just due to the metal honestly. In plastic phones the area where the SoC is gets extremely hot and just as unbearable to touch. BUT as this is an aluminium unibody the heat spreads all over. The reason I said to hold the top and bottom of the device where the speakers are is because there is a plastic strip separating the middle piece of metal from the two sides, meaning these sides are cooler to hold.
Yes, mine one can get quite hot especially when I play game. However one the other hand, I find it cooling down extremely fast comparing to my GS3 which does take time to warm up also to go back to comfortable temperature.
Must due to the aluminum back which transfers the heat faster than plastic.

In my experience, gets One XL got noticeably hotter than the One when performing the same tasks.
Everyones heat tolerance is different. Phone gets WARM when im watching video. Couple minutes later it's not hot. So it's definateky not a issue.
Plastic insulates the heat, aluminum dissipates heat. No brainer here

Metal conducts the heat but can also conducts the cold.
Let my phone in my cold bedroom during the night and took it in the morning it was like the phone was left outdoor

even the battery charge dont take as long as some people mentioned here
I found mine to get really hot as well, just by surfing on wifi.
I thought it was normal, and still do, but if anyone here has One's that don't get hot at all, please tell, cause then I'm gonna get a bit concerned.

Previous posters hit it right on the head. The aluminium body acts just like a heat sink sucking moving heat from inside out and then your hands act like an insulator keeping the heat there. The OG Droid did the same thing. It's just part of having this design. Keep in mind though it does an excellent job of stopping your phone from hitting critical internal tempetures.
