Just as the title says. I'm constantly getting alerts for a hot battery. My phone doesn't even feel hot so I have no idea what is going on.

The only time I got that was when I left my phone in the work truck during work one day. I came to check my phone during a break and the sun was shining directly on it. After I moved it into a shaded area, all was good.

I'm wondering if it's the tpu case I have on. I'm getting warnings at like 75 degrees Fahrenheit which honestly don't seem that hot. And I get them when I leave the phone sitting on a couch a bed a desk you name it. Not even in the sun. I'll just randomly get a notification noise and it says warning - hot battery

this is with the screen off???
It almost sounds like a rouge app or something is keeping your phone on at all times almost like Google maps how it gets hot using that. How is the battery life?

Battery life has been pretty good so far tbh. I think I know the rouge process though. My university uses1 a dynamic ip address system for wifi, and when I'm using their wifi I have almost 85% awake time because the wifi has to constantly regain an ip. I think that may be it bit I haven't had the phone enough at another location to test...


Edit here's an example from today...

oh yea wow, I'd either set the wifi to turn off during sleep (my personal choice) or turn if off when not needed, but I guess that would only be necessary if your battery sucked, which you say it doesn't. hope find the issue.

Well, it sucks compared to some of the times I see others posting, but it gets me through the day without a recharge normally. It helps that I set up a virtual router in my dorm room (we're not allowed real routers). When on that network, I lose almost no battery life with the screen off because the ip is static

Is the battery temp alarm part of a battery app you installed and does that app properly read the temp sensors ? What are the alarm thresholds set at ?

built in but i have no idea because it warns me randomly - sometimes at 75 degrees, other times at 90...

It's weird

alright im resurrecting this really quick. Can someone else with a battery monitoring app (I use gsam battery monitor) tell me what the temp of their battery is while they arent heavily using it? to get there in the app, swipe the battery on the top of the page when you open it.

I'm idling at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, which isnt bad I don't think but since I've gotten warnings right around there I figured I'd ask what someone else's phone looks like

I use battery monitor widget pro. At idle its usually close to room temp. That's in an HTC double flip case inside a leather pouch (paranoid). Highest I hit under load is 104f. Nothing like my rezound. If you uninstall your current battery app and use the free version of battery monitor widget and enable "monitor without widget" you will end up with a log where you can see what your phone has been up to.

I got warnings when it was 35-40+, but today I got a warning that it was hot when the phone was cold. My battery was almost dead maybe that had something to do with it

Currently while my phone has been sitting on my desk overnight idling, the CPU-Z app on my phone is reporting my battery at 31.5 degrees C which is 88.7 F and I have never gotten a battery temp warning.

I mean I can convert it no problem so it's not a huge deal. But what I've basically come up with is that one of my battery apps is giving off hot battery warnings at random, and they're not that big of a deal.

Cool, thanks everyone!

I was coming to ask exactly the same question. Mine wasn't even hot when I picked it up! Nor was the sun shining directly on it or in a hot or humid environment. My battery life is normal though.
