[Q] HD2 get so much heat when use

I have htc hd2
it take so much heat when I use please take me to right way

Try not using it, then it will not be hot.
Seriously, it's got a fast processor and so it gets hot easily, and hd2 has no air conditioning
Just if you use it too much, let it cool down once in a while. And don't hold it so firm in your hands, let it breathe a bit.

many roms over here support undervolt, that's the best solution both for battery heating and life, do a search.

Your hands are a better thermal conductor than air, so it's better to wrap your hand around the hot part to transfer the heat to your hands. Even better, lick the hot part of the back of the phone then blow some air on it, evaporative cooling will quickly make the phone cool again. It's the same reason why it feels cold when you blow on your hand after dipping it in water.

[Q] Will a TPU case affect phone performance due to thermal throttling?

My N4 should be arriving in a few days and I'm thinking about getting a case. I'm leaning toward a TPU case rather than the perpetually OOS official bumper, but I was wondering: would a TPU case slow heat dissipation enough to engage thermal throttling more frequently, thus affecting the phone's performance?

Probably, but I don't think it's something you'd notice under regular use.

I have a tpu case and I think so far it was worth the 9.95. I so not feel the heat from the glass the phone no longer slides on things. I do not think heat is worst with the phone. For 9.95 it is a good choice. There is a few threads on the TPU ones take look at those they have pics.

Maybe in benchmarks but you won't notice in normal use. People care way too much about benchmarks. If the phone feels buttery smooth then what more do you need?

Cool, thanks everyone! I ordered the case and will see how it goes .

Is my case sealing in heat?

So I've noticed my phone tends to get hot (not nearly as bad as some users described) but noticeably warm. I don't game much but I will watch high def videos. Tonight I noticed it was very cool after a day of typical use. I checked my CPU temp and it was running 10 to 12 degrees cooler than usual at between 41o 46 Celsius.
Only thing I did different was last night before going to bed I removed the case and left it off. There's a link to my case below. If you're using this case or a similar one I'd just like to hear your experience.

I like the case and don't think the higher temps are cause for alarm. But if Id be open to trying a different one if it provides good protection and keeps it a little cooler. Thanks.
Edit--sorry that link doesn't seem to direct you the right way. Its the Unicorn Beetle Case.

Well any plastic case is going to have a detrimental effect on how your phone deals with heat. If you use your phone bare, as in no skin or case, it has the entire metal body to transfer heat to and dissipate from. Plastic, or leather, or anything but metal, doesn't have that kind of heat conductivity and will act like a layer of insulation that prevents your phone from dissipating the heat outside.
tl;dr: yes cases will make your phone heat up more

But it's safe to use, let's say, a Spigen Thin Fit right? I mean it'll hold a little more heat, but not that bad, as this 810 v2.1 should throttle itself long before the danger threshold right?
About to get mine in today..

There are number of things that will protect your phone if it reaches dangerous heat. The CPU and GPU will throttle, the phone will shut itself off in order to not generate more heat if necessary etc.
I use a Spigen Rugged Armor and I also have a Spigen Thin Fit. Both of them will make the CPU and GPU throttle more but it's barely noticeable with or without the cases.
No need to worry about the hardware, the battery might not be great in 2-3 years but you can replace them if you're a little bit handy.

It won't overheat. The 6P does throttle aggressively though and you can see it in the performance.

Thanks guys. I noticed the phone getting a little warm, but nothing too major. Take my thanks!

Ergonomics (in-hand feel)

Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the Asus ROG Phone feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

if you use your pinky to hold the phone up, you might want to stay away from this phone.
the "glass" could be plastic, that meets at the edges of the back of the phone will start to irritate your finger/skin. after 4 days with the phone, I feel like it's almost like cutting into the skin.
The cause of this is the gap that inherent between the "glass" piece and the actual body

I hope it's better than the design of the Razer Phones with the speaker grill 1-2mm higher than the screen as my thumb's feel like they get cuts in them from swiping from top and bottom edges.

before I bought this phone I was using S7 edge and I must say , this is a big and heavy phone. I'm still getting used to the big screen and the lack of the home button. I love the phone but it's heavy

Been using this phone from past few days. It's very difficult to hold this phone while gaming especially if you use your little fingers at the bottom. I think without a case it's gonna be difficult to use. But am just used to it. May be it would take some time. But the phone itself is amazing for the few features.

I can see ROG phone users having extra muscles on their pinkies

As the previous comments, this phone IS heavy. 200g after 30 mins takes its toll on your hands and fingers.
For a horizontal hold, your pinkies will start developing muscles or you learn to hold it with both anular and pinkie fingers on the bottom. But this leads you with less space to move your index fingers to reach the air triggers.
In Vertical mode, it is a very regular use, albeit the heavy weight of course. One handed operation is possible if you have big hands / long fingers, but on an average use, you might need to use it with both hands, one for holding it and the other for interacting with the screen.
About the fingerprint reader, even if it is on an odd position, I got used to it very fast. It is accurate and had not had problems at all with it. Although at the beginning, when using the silicon protector for the back, since it has the opening for the cosmetic vents, you end up mistaking this holes with the fingerprint reader hole.
The earphone jack is on the bottom, so for using it on a regular basis, you will need to have your phone upside down on your pocket. It is a bit weird at the beginning, but you get used to it. If you are using this connector on your car, be careful to set the phone horizontally, or use a cradle, otherwise you might damage your cable or the connector itself.
For charging, I found no troubles using the bottom connector, and while gaming, the side USB-C connector is a blessing.
Overall it is a smooth experience, but you will suffer initially because of the phone weight.

Priv thermal issues improved

I've been using my Priv for a year and a half now, without showing it much mercy. Without a case and a screen protector, it held up very well until I took a fall while holding it and cracked the screen. I decided to transplant my motherboard into a defective but like-new unit, and was shocked to see how the heat from the 808 distorted the copper foil that was supposed to help dissipate it. Also, my unit had way too much thermal paste just poured in it, which seems like an afterthought because the upside of the processor doesn't touch any proper heatsink - only the metal frame of the middle of the phone. After reading that a user achieved some improvement by sticking tinfoil between his 810 equipped Xperia Z3+ and an external case, I decided to try to put some tinfoil between the back side of the processor and the back casing. Removing the back housing is very easy and doesn't require any tools, so later modifications and tweaks are not a problem. I covered almost the entire back of the device with tinfoil and closed the housing back on it. The result is quite amazing - the spot where the 808 is placed, where the device used to get so hot I could not comfortably touch it, is now only mildly warm. To confirm that this solution actually worked, I installed antutu both on the modified and on the donor device. The modified unit held the processor at 1500 mhz under the stress test and did not feel hot at all. The unmodified unit dropped quickly to 1200 mhz and stayed there for the entire test. The unit feels a little snappier now, but I do think that the major improvement is in not having to hold that hot potato anymore. Regardless of this fairy tail, I will be purchasing the Key2. Another lesson learned from comparing my old device to the new one is how much an amoled panel degrades in the course of 18 months. I am not bothered by burn in (the bottom stripe is bright compared to the rest of the display), but the display itself is much less vibrant and the colors are much warmer after all that use. It will be hard to part with the beautiful colors I get from the new replacement panel, but overall an LCD has the advantages of maintaining its quality over time, and also being much cheaper to replace. A screen for the Priv costs around $120, while Keyone LCDs cost less than $50.

I wouldn't try that for these reasons:
1: tinfoil is conductive AFAIK, so it might cause an undesired shortcircuit between some exposed contacts
2: for the same reason, it might impact the antennas
However it makes sense from a thermal only point of view!
I'm just curious if you considered the points above and took care of where and how to place the tinfoil?
And did you notice any change in reception quility?
