My tab was sitting on my desk in sleep mode. I picked it up and tried to unlock it and it seemed frozen for a moment, then let me swipe. It seemed fine after that. A few hours later I picked it up again and it was very sluggish and the back was warm and my battery at 15%. (it was at about 50% a few hours earlier) I rebooted it and it's fine, but I am wondering what caused it to get so warm. I know that happens when it's being used a lot but it was just sitting on my desk. There were no apps running in the background. Any ideas what could have happened? I haven't installed anything new in the last few days.
Are you running stock?

And we assume ICS (apart from stock)? But there are quite a few threads on the increased power-consumption on ICS (Stock and other). So might be some run-away process or service. What is the highest battery-user according to the device info? And how much? Has ICS gotten rid of the dialer goof-up for non-3G tablets?
P.S. Like the off limits (slap on the wrist) of the better half's tablet, same here :laugh:
Yes assuming ICS...my bad lol. It was more of a "tell me everything you've done lately" type of question. I have noticed increased battery consumption myself but that's why I switched ROMs today. If I lose a couple extra ticks on the battery in exchange for the performance I've gotten I can live with that
And yes I will lose whatever part of my body touches the wife's tablet. She's heard enough profanity in the last month as I got my feet wet hahaha!
Yes, stock ICS. Sorry for omitting that!
The highest battery user is the screen. I'm thinking maybe the tablet froze and I didn't notice it. Having the screen on constantly for several hours is probably not battery friendly. I'm concerned because it's still warm between the Samsung logo and the camera on the back. It's not hot or anything, just noticeably warm, and it's just sitting there charging. I'm not using it.
I have (or you can do it yourself) to delve in other threads, where they dismantle the tablet. Is it a P7500, or just a plain P7510? I thought that the 3G radio-part was about there where it still is hot (residual heat probably by now), but I can be mistaken. If this is a P7510, then I do not know what would be there at that location. It certainly is not the battery, that is much lower...
I will try and find what is about there, but other solder-happy soldiers must be able to tell you exactly what is located there.
Anybody?

A friend of mine had a similar problem with his galaxy s2 locking up and needing a long-press power reboot to get it working again on stock ICS 4.0.3. The culprit ended up being android os in battery stats, but the problem has not happened again yet. As for the warmth on the back of your tab, this is caused by the processor running at full speed for extended periods of time. If your screen is on, and you are interacting with it a lot, then you should expect the upper left back side of the tab to heat up and not cool down until you stop using it. This is normal... if it continues to stay hot for long periods of time after the screen is off, then you are probably not going into deep sleep mode because of a rogue app. If you are rooted, install better battery stats and CPU spy to do a little more digging. Good luck, I hope you figure it out and get your tab running the way you would like it to.
I figured out what it was. I'd seen the Ebook icon in my app tray and tapped it. It took me to the Samsung App store. I left immediately but that visit apparently installed "Samsung Push Service" which was taking 62% of my battery and causing 100% wake lock. What a POS! I uninstalled it and everything is normal again. Won't ever visit the Samsung App store again.
I froze that app. Ugly. Glad you worked it out!
Hey all!
Yesterday I acquired an s6 edge plus through Verizon. I've noticedone almost immediately that it gets very warm. I checked the temperatures and at its hottest it was at about 170 degrees farenheit. I haven't gotten any overheating warning messages and it hasn't shut off, but obviously I paid a pretty penny for this bad boy so I'm a little concerned. Any input would be great. I'm also attaching a screenshot of what seems to be the normal use operating temperatures.
Thanks guys!

Mine keeps fairly cool. Didn't notice any head yet. Well... while installing all my apps a little bit but that's just normal like on any other device.
I suggest you return your device to get a replacement.
I know... that's not what you want to hear. It sucks.
No heat at all on my phone literally at all I had it on fast wireless charge for hours too didn't heat up at all. Much better than my note 4

If it's brand new there's usually a hell of a lot of activity with updates and media scanners, installations and wot not. It will get very hot during this time. Give it a day to settle down. Mine got warm at this point and now fine.

i've played a few games, had multi-tasking a lot and didn't notice any "overheating" only the normal temp
Thanks for the input guys. Today it seems to be just fine. I restarted it last night and it has been good ever since. Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing. I just do not want anything to happen to my baby
I also had my s6 edge + get very hot and wondered why no shutdown or warning.
Well I'm a little concerned about mine, I was playing a simple game, and after that I went to a program the temperature it's around 55 Celsius on the cpu isn't that to much? And the battery around 36

That is good news. If it starts to happen again, maybe check your battery stats to see what programs are using the most battery. It might help you figure a particular app that might be hammering the CPU.
The last thing I would do is a factory reset; after which wait a day or so for everything to settle down, and if you are still having that problem take it back.
I just received as a gift a used Nexus 7 (2012). It's updated to the latest stock 5.1.1 (no custom kernels or anything) and seems to work as expected.
What I AM noticing however, is that even when just updating apps or games (not doing anything else during that time), the lower left of the tablet (while facing the screen) is getting really hot. The temperature indicator seems to say it's below 42C (I believe it might be wrong, but got no way to actually test it).
Is this normal? I mean I know Tegra-3 SoC is not the coolest out there, but just how normal is for this thing to get so hot so fast? (I checked the battery stats for possible usage from other apps, nothing concerning found there)
Updating apps is hard work on LP or MM. It depends a bit on how many apps you have installed, but it's normal that it's becoming hot ... but after the apps are installed it should cool down rapidly.

Well, it's definitely getting uncomfortably hot (not just warm), that's my biggest concern. I wonder why nobody complained about it like how the S810 is getting into the ground hammered today =/
As far as apps go, just the standard Google stuff is installed + 4 Tegra-optimized games, but nothing was running in the background according to the battery and app indicator so those can't be the cause.
I've had my new phone for almost two weeks now and noticed that it runs uncomfortably warm. I noticed this right at the start in fact, a few minutes after I first turned it on, but as the built-in apps updated themselves I knew that would heat it up. It still got warm afterwards though, even before I installed my usual apps and transferred my data to it. Just having it switched on and fiddling about with the built-in apps was enough to make it heat up significantly after about 10 minutes use.
I then installed Battery Circle which reported a toasty 43 degrees centigrade. This seems rather too hot for comfort and the battery drain is quite significant - it dropped from 100% to 75% in just under two hours of use (not totally continuous) of web browsing, BBC and Facebook apps etc so I wonder, is there a hardware problem with my phone or if it's just the 808 chipset that's prone to running hot and hence normal for this model? Overall battery life even with moderate use isn't exactly fantastic, either and rather worse than my old Moto G (2014).
I did Google it, but couldn't find anything conclusive, even on XDA, with quite a lot of people seeing this issue and an equal number not seeing it, so can anyone shed some light on it? Is the upcoming Marshmallow update with its improved power management likely to alleviate it?
Although I like the phone and the performance is very good, I might just return it because of this issue and get a different phone. Prerequisites are stereo speakers and a minimum of 2GB RAM for smooth, stutter-free operation, everything else is not so critical. Any suggestions for alternatives? I paid about £350 for it off Amazon and would like to spend about the same on a possible replacement.
Same here, just browsing internet for 10 minutes, and phone turns noticeable hot.
Android 6.0 installed yesterday, same hot issue in the new ROM ( bootloader locked, ROM stock, recovery Stock)
Purchased in Amazon (399 + tax)

I own MXS XT1572 (Indian dual sim variant) and it does not get as hot as you say... but yes, after 1 hour of internet browsing it does get hot enough to feel uncomfortable in hand. 10 minutes is something I noticed in one of my friend's Moto X Pure... and another friend has no issue with his moto x pure...
So maybe yes it can be a problem with half of the devices...
Well, good thing about 6.0 update is: temp is about 10degrees cooler from lollipop. I been doing the exact same thing and noticed the change. Pretty much constant gaming with full gpu use. Must be updated kernel or gpu. I'm hoping devs can look into this and come up with a rom/kernel to tweak these settings little bit more to make this device solid and put heating issue to bed.

That's great news.
Been using it over the last couple of days in this colder winter weather without it getting excessively warm. It looks like it's quite sensitive to the ambient temperature, so I wouldn't be surprised if it suffered thermal runaway on a really hot day and burned itself out.
Do you people recommends to send this phone to warranty with this issue?
Just using Chrome for 5 minutes and battery show 42 degrees (celcius) , i dont remember any other app doing the same thing
Thanks in advance

Do you have a new phone? You sen the old one to RMA ?

I was running the battery dead out-of-the-box due to Google shovelware. Disabling as many Google apps as possible and using a browser with an ad blocker has me ending the day at 45%. If you have any ad spewing apps, get rid of them too. Buy or find ad-free versions of your apps.
Just had the Priv for a week.... so far its a great device, but has its issues....
Firstly, the curved screen is not the most practical, specially when grabbing your phone.... second of all, for the first time, its overheating....
No root is horrible too.... hoping that someday soon, the root is coming out....
my priv also sometimes so hot, esp the screen
I had a Priv a while ago and would get super hot when browsing the Web.. I think the back of the phone is pretty thin so maybe that's why but even then.. It gets pretty damn hot

Mine normally doesn't... or maybe it does but I have the sliding case around it so maybe I don't feel the heat...
However, last Friday, out of the blue a message popped up in notification saying something like "you're wifi is being disabled to prevent the device from overheating" ...I was driving at the time, so obviouslynot doing anything actively on the phone... just had Waze running. Have been an Android user from the beginning ... have had phones with known/documented overheating issues, but never had such a message crop up.
In anycase, I immediately rebooted... when the phone restarted, I lost cellular data... and spent the next 3 hours worried somehow the radio has fried... requested an RMA, put questions on XDA and BlackBerry forums... came close to resetting the phone..until... I went in to Data Usage and realised, Cellular Data had aslo been disabled when the phone overheated!!!
No overheat since...
yeah, she gets damned hot.
doesnt seem to stop it working though
All Blackberry apps updated via Play Store?
Make sure that all Blackberry apps in Play Store are updated. When I first got the phone(end of December) phone was also getting warm-hot. I was in play store, but it didn't offer me any Blackberry apps, but I searched the store for "Blackberry" and it came up with the apps and I saw that they needed to be updated. After that, no more heat, at least not bad and on par with other devices. I don't play games on phones, so won't comment about that
Mine got incredibly hot when I first used it - restoring my accounts, apps, data etc but today is my first day of proper use and it seems just fine. No problems with heat at all.

Have a look at what's chugging away on your device and see what's sucking your battery. It'll be in your battery stats.
I found mine to get very hot and that's even compared to my Moto X Style (which also consistently runs warm) and my Z5 & 6P despite them having an 810 instead the 808. It's disconcerting how warm / hot the device runs and the thin carbon fibre frame only seems to enhance the feeling of it being too warm.
It's making me reconsider holding onto mine tbh.

I don't know if any of you are on TMO but disabling their crappy My Account app solved my heat issues.
