Hot phone

---

Hi everybody. Well I'm running ics Zen 1.2 and my phone seems to get really hot. I have bat stats widget and I will wake the phone up and it will be in the 90 degree range without doing anything. So I checked CPU spy and its mostly in 100mhz most of the time. So my question is are all ics roms like this or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I've flashed a lot of ics roms and have never experienced that. How old is the battery?

Edit: you said that the cpu is @100mhz most of the time. Is that while it's disconnected from the charger/usb?
The phone should go into deep sleep when it's not connected to usb and not being used. I wonder if something is keeping the phone awake. There are apps in the market that can show you wakelock info.

Its weird because in standby my phone will be at about 90 degrees and if I get on it to watch YouTube or get on the web it shoots up to about 100 degrees in no time and I know its killing my battery. I have the new1800 mah battery

100 degrees is nominal when it comes to high heat being bad for the battery. My old phone (Motorola XT720) was notorius for running hot, so I did some research about it and found that you really need to get worried when it starts to hit 50c or 120f+/-. This is when it slowly start to degrade the interior.

I got my old motorola up to 132f one time playing a wicked game of **cough**scrabble. I just backed out, closed the app down and let the phone sit for a few minutes. No harm no foul.

Just for a frame of reference, I have the MLB At-Bat app to listen to baseball games when I am at work and something about that app makes it run hot. 3rd year in a row I've had it and each year it runs hot when I am listening to a game. I have a temp widget on my home screen it and when I listen to a game it hovers around 104f. Knowing that 50c/120f is the danger zone, I don't worry about it too much.

If I can find that old thread of mine, I will post a link for you. Bunch of info in it but I can't search for it now.

Scrabble. Nice

Throw your phone in the water fixes all the temperature issues
