When my phone is in the car wirelessly charging and streaming music on Bluetooth, it runs hot. When I also use google map navigation it consistently overheats. Has anyone else noticed similar behavior? Any advice? My S7 with the same programs and configurations does not overheat in the same situation.
This phone heats up considerably with wireless charging. Just use a normal one if heat is a concern, or, buy one with a fan. You should also disable fast wireless charging.

I have a customer with one of these phones who complains it is running hot, so hot they have to move it away from their ear.
I have one too, configured with push email, and it's fine. Is the high temperature normal? Their phone also drops calls. I think the phone should probably be replaced but wondered if there was a known problem and simple solution. I access it using Pocket Controller and it's set up fine.
Sometimes the customer leaves bluetooth on alot even though they don't use it all the time, and with bluetooth it sometimes routes calls to the headset, sometimes not. Oh, and sometimes the phone radio turns off by itself! Sounds defective to me!!
Any thoughts?
One last thing, is there a way to permanently turn it off when it's not in use? Switching off the phone radio isn't enough.
Thanks.
You can't turn off the Treo Pro. Turning on\off doesn't effect the power drain that much to heat the battery a lot.
The only thing that could get the device a lot warmer than with normal use is turning on WiFi or by making long phone calls..
My guess would be that the device has either a battery problem or something is wrong with the hardware of the Treo Pro. It's not normal that you have to move the device from your face because of the heat.
Quickest way to test if it's the TP or the battery is to try a battery if you have one
Thanks mccune. I'll contact the suppliers.

My phone runs extremely hot if i have processes running in the background, like, Google Maps...
I think we have to make a difference between 'hot' and 'warm'. I don't believe that there is any chance of someone getting his ear burnt.
I've had my treo pro for few days now, and have noticed that the temperature at the back cover rises when the handset is with the gps in use, especially when searching for satellites
Running hot..quick battery burn...Winterface!
I wonder if the owner is using Winterface? I tried (and liked) this launcher, but it cut my battery life in half and the unit felt very warm all the time. Trying Mobile Shell for now...
They weren't using anything other than what was supplied on the phone. They just made a lot of calls.
The phone was returned and my customer had the same problem with the replacement. I think what feels warm to most feels hot to them (sensitive ears).
The phone has been replaced with a Nokia E71 (supports exchange mail).
Seems runs cool and the battery lasts ages.
hi,
i often plug my phone into the cradle which allows me to charge my phone and connect to the pc . when ever i dont on my pc. i use my phone as replacement and use it for occasionally surfing, stream online radio, while charging via the cradle.
will concurrent use of phone and consistent plugged in spoil the battery or the phone ? will this bloat ot shorten the batt life ? i notice my phone runs at 50degree celcius on tbattery. is that a normal.range ?
thanks in advnce !
no one knows ?
any advice here ???
Lithium batteries like being topped up as opposed to running them right down so that will be good for your phone. 50c sounds a bit hot although the phone can get fairly warm while playing graphic intensive games but as long as it cools down while idling i would say that that is ok.
My phone(S4 i9500) is using more battery than it could charge.. If i use my phone while charging, the battery will drain but slowly.
Need a way to save battery, i don't play heavy game, these are the apps i use
Facebook
messenger
whatsapp
pokemon go
clash of clans
clash royale
Udemy
please suggest me a way to fix the battery drain issue as well
Change the cable/charger. The charger should be a 2A charger. Anything under will not output the maximum current possible to the phone.
A cable can also affect how much current the phone gets. Cables wear out over time making them less and less effective.
If you feel your phone is charging to slow, change the cable. A good rule of thumb is to get a thicker cables. Those usually are more effective than thinner ones.
Use an app called Ampere to measure your charging current. The S4 should have a maximum of 1900mAh charging current. Since your battery drains while it's charging, I assume you will get something like 500mAh.
Your charging probleme is not a software issue, unless the device limits the current while in use.
the battery after a few years he will change
Ever since I got the device, I've noticed that whenever I get bored and put the wood stylemod on that came with the device, even in standby, man this thing heats up a lot. Anyone else have this issue?
I have seen this in other forums. Do you have Gsam Battery monitor installed? My bet is theres an app running in the background. Gsam can tell you what apps are running.
Try leaving bluetooth and wifi off when not in use, turn off bluetooth in location settings, not sure if it would help but I did that day one, always have the style mod on when not connected to the speaker, only time I notice heat is while charging and casting fpse to chromecast.
Mines having no issue at all, and i always have wifi Bluetooth on
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.
