Anyone else having temperature issues?

---

After logging the temperature for a few days I've noticed a direct correlation between phone temperature and battery life. The phone drains 1% every 3-4 minutes when its at or above 35. when its around 27° or lower it only drains about 5% per hour... I'm having an issue however. Today my phone was extremely hot. Right under 40° all day... with the screen off 90% of the time. Tonight I'm doing a test I've removed the back cover and its nowhere close to as hot as it was.before. I'm starting to think the battery cover is too close to the battery and internals thus causing overheating issues. I love this phone but I may try to swap it out for another while I still can. Has anyone else noticed similar issues? I'm underclocked at 800mhz screen brightness 10%. Does at&t charge a restocking fee if I return it?

well there must be a big current draw for it too get hot. android has a bug that shows up occasionally where the radio consumes large amounts of power. also 2.3.3 has a similar bug where the system wont sleep, this should only effect gingerbread but it may just be more frequent in gingerbread.

check battery usage in settings>about phone. if anything other than the display is over 50% there is a problem. if it is android system then shut it down and pull the battery for a few minutes, start it back up. if it is the cell radio then put it in airplane mode for a minute and take it out of airplane mode.

removing the cover may help it stay cool but there isnt enough heat there to cause battery drain, instead the cause of the battery drain must also be the source of the heat.

was almost thinking bout buying this phone as its very hot in africa this could burn my hands

I am on my second Infuse.


My first one had battery charging issues, and compare to the current one it was also a battery hog. I did not put two and two together until the current one i have, but the first one would get hot around the camera area with just streaming slacker while browsing the web.

I exchanged it like 4 days after i got it due to it taking 6.5 hours to charge from 5% to 100%.

I just had the same issue... it was down to 10% so I put it on the charger... 3 hours later I looked back and its barley on 40%. It took 7 hours to fully charge last night. Something isn't right. Now my screen is completely set to off and I'm underclockong and its gone from 24° to 39° in 5 minutes.

please check the battery usage in about phone. if anything other than the screen is around 50% there is a problem, the solution may be as easy as starting airplane modeand turning it off
