[Q] General questions about significance of heat, battery, sense reloading issues

Hi guys,
I've been waiting for the SGSIII announcement before deciding on a new phone, and am currently torn between them. I've been reading a lot of the threads here, but naturally for some of the potential issue people are more likely to post if they've actually experienced it so it's hard to tell how significant it is.
BACKGROUND: I first had an HTC Hero and LOVED sense. Then I moved to an original Galaxy S because I love AMOLED screens (I don't care about colour accuracy, I love extreme saturation and contrast). I then moved to the SGS II last year.
However, I have always hated Touchwiz and themed and rommed the heck out of it to look more like stock ICS. I've always looked back at Sense with envy though.
So the following questions are the major things holding my back from a One X:
1) Is heat an issue? My SGS II would get hot on the front with web browsing on max brightness after a while and playing games, and I have the new iPad that gets very toasty, but I wouldn't want anything that can actually be concerning or affect my usage (eg: the need to stop playing games for a while or adjust screen brightness). Also does it warm up when doing non-game tasks like web browsing or general non-game apps?
2) I always use my phone on max brightness, how much screen-on time could I expect on a single charge? Is anyone coming from an SGS II able to comment on if the battery life feels longer or shorter than the SGSII?
3) I've heard a few people complaining of it and experienced it on an in-store demo One X, so how often does Sense like to spend a few seconds reloading after exiting an app? Is it frequent or a rarity?
4) While I'm aware that some One X have creaking / shifting glass at the top edge (an in-store demo model I tried had it), has anyone had it develop over time or should you be able to know out of the box if you have a dud?
5) Does the white model pick up marks / discolouration from sitting in pockets without a case?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

1)no
2) not long
3)barely ever
4)duno not had it yet
5)picks up marks but can be easily removed

1. Heat isn't an issue unless you live in a particularly hot place. Think 36+ celcius room temp.
2. Max brightness on the HOX can really blind you. It's stupidly bright and even at 30% brightness is very very visible. I just leave the auto brightness on, it's been working very well I get an average of 3.5 hours screen time with 3g always on, and playing graphically intensive games.
3. Sense only reloads if the app you're using uses more than the system has free. So it clears Sense from RAM since it's not being used right that moment for the app you ARE using at that moment. Some ROMS have an option to keep it in RAM, which eliminates the restarts.
4. I received a good copy, and have no experience with any physical defects other than a slight yellow tint at the bottom, hardly noticeable unless you're looking for it.
5. Scuff marks would probably be hidden better on the white one, but regular wear and tear dirt would probably make the white a ....brown xD

Heat has been a huge issue for me.
I have 2 HOXs, both UK T-Mob. Both get terribly hot.
Playing games whilst charging causes it to overheat (battery temps in excess of 55*c, uncomfortably hot to the touch).
I also use it as a wifi hotspot (again whilst charging) and it stays quite warm.
The other day I was on the phone, using it as a hotspot and charging it simultaneously it got VERY hot, to the point I couldn't comfortably hold it to my face. I happened to be topless at the time and absent misguidedly placed it on my stomach, camera side down. That physically hurt, the camera ring was painfully hot.
(To preempt any "well don't do that then" comments, none of my usage is at all unusual. My old handset (Desire HD) could manage that fine. The overheating is poor design)
These temperatures are unacceptable in my opinion, but there's not a lot to be done about it I'm afraid! At the end of the day, I still think the HOX is the best handset on the market currently, I'm not a fan of the galaxy (aesthetics + AMOLED is grainy).
The phone doesn't seem to have suffered any actual damage from the extreme heat by the way.
My honest advice is to wait. Every handset that I have purchased on launch day (Xperia x10, DHD, HOX) has had MASSIVE teething troubles amongst its user base.
The HOX will probably improve, buy one in a few months, or go for one of the other phones that may be out by then!
Above all, buy from a reputable retailer with a great customer service record (Amazon would be a good choice IMO).
Regards

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Samsung Galaxy S7 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

what i find is that my device (S7) stays very cool under conditions that my other device (m8) would overheat. now i dont play traditional games on my smartphone but i do run chess engines against each other on all 4 cores and typically after about 10 minutes i would have to stop because my m8 would reach over 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit). under more strenuous conditions the s7 only reached 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) after running for close to an hour. although the phone got physically hot which may be alarming, but i relied on an app to measure the internal temp. once i get a case for the s7 i probably wont even notice.
all in all, these results blew me away. i will try this again after i root the s7 and overclock it. but for now im very impressed.

The question here is does it throttle and how fast does it start throttling? A lot of people are complaining about the heat but really it should be hotter. The new heat pipe is supposed to disperse the heat to the frame away from the processor. Now if it is only hot where the processor is located like my s6 then that is a problem.

I've been pleasantly surprised with how cool the device stays as well. I keep it in an Incipio DualPro (although I find myself taking it out often either for Gear VR time, or just because the damn phone is nice to look at) and tend to go on usage binges frequently. Even throwing in a little gaming here and there (mostly Clash of Clans which used to warm up the S5 pretty easily.) So far, so cool. Even wireless charging (slow or fast) seems to run cooler.
If it's throttling to keep the temperature averages lower, then it hasn't been of detrimental effect to my own usage patterns so far.

I am actually hater of Android phones, but the features provided by Samsung Galaxy S7 and edge S7 are truly amazing. actully I personally saw after charging all Android devices they get heated. But I must say this S7 and S7 Edge are not from this family. Also there are some great features like water residence technique.... etc.

does it get hot when constantly using the facebook app(Like my S6 overheats sometime when using it often due to heavy usage)? i'm buying the S7 next week

After a few days of use I can say that it does not even get warm much less hot while doing anything I normally do, including gaming and I play a wide range of games on my phone including some pretty graphical ones. The only time it has felt warm at all was when I was first downloading and trying all of my VR games, not sure why though because I played a couple hours of VR last night and it did not heat up at all, maybe it was burning in?

Both my S7 and my wife's S7 get very warm. I immediately noticed it on the first boot for both devices when the Play Store was installing all of our apps. Installing about 50 apps took over a hour. I think both of our devices are defective as they are not consistently running smoothly as well the LTE speeds are 50% slower than our previous S6 and S6 Edge. So far a factory reset has not corrected the problem for either device. That said both S7's still score very high with Antutu 128000-129000. It's all very odd.

I switched from the M8 to the S7 and my M8 never got this hot. My S7 is always getting warm and the battery life sucks. I got it 3 days ago and have yet to play a game or watch media on it and it still heats up and the battery is down in the teen % by late afternoon.

Qualcomm SD820 sucks unfortunately. Gets hot, bad battery life, ****ty DAC.

a bit off topic.. how is that incipio case working out for you. i've been eyeing it but haven't read any feedback. is it a slick case or does it have some texture for the grip? rubbery or plastic? thanks for any help.

I had the same model case for my S5 and loved it. It was bulky but was the kind of added protection I was looking for when i was out hiking or backpacking.
The version for the S7 (S7 Edge, specifically) feels more streamlined to me. Definiteky thinner materials, and because it has to keep the two long sides of the phone fairly clear due to the edge screen, it's a good bit more flexible (i can pop the phone in and out without having to first separate the two case layers.) I'd expect the non edge version for the s7 may be more in line with what I remember from my S5 days.
That said, the grip/texture is a nice balance between slick and grippy. It has a rubbery feel, but it doesn't snag on its way in and out of a pocket. Its just enough to know that it won't slip outta the hand.
Meanwhile, on the heat subject again, the s7e managed to reboot itself during a VR session and when it came back up, it seemed to have forgotten a lotta settings. Edge panels were no longer selected, double tap home yo launch camera went away, and probably 8 or so others that I noticed eventually. Easy enough to set them back, but thats the first time ive ever seen something like that on an android device. I can't say for certain that it was heat related, as it couldve rebooted due to any number of unfound software bugs, but it certainly had become fairly toasty during that session.

so in other words you'd recommend this case? thanks for the info btw. very helpful.

No problems with heat or battery here. Way cooler than my s6.

Definitely cooler than my s6 and to the person stating this phone gets hotter than his m8 did, you DEFINITELY must have a bad phone. The m8 and m9 always got very hot in my experience this phone is almost like ICE in comparison. My s6 even was cooler than either of those 2 and the s7 is even cooler than the s6. Battery life seems to be a little better than my s6 as well.

Pretty rough
I switched from my old S4 to the S7 on day one, and equipped it with all of the same accessories. I work in a kitchen, and it's often extremely hot on the line, but even in an Otter Defender my S4 would rock all day as a bluetooth music player connected to our soundbar. Ever since the switch I will get between 30-45 minutes only running DoubleTwist on BT before I get a hard reset from overheating. I've taken to leaving it in the pantry, but now I have to run off the line every time I want to change the song or the volume. As a desktop builder I understand the compromises between heat, performance, and cooling, but this seems a little sensitive.

I have g935f. Before that i had G920f and i have to say, best phone i ever had in my hands. No heating... Playing games for a few houers and no throtel no overheatin. Batthery is much bether than on S6, but i think that MM for S6 is more optimized for S6 then S7. Abouth heat, i think that the diference is in CPU. Exynus VS Snapdragon...

Can I just ask you. What's the average temperature your device sits at when using it? And the maximum you've gotten it up to. I need to compare mine to it as I came from a s5 which didn't really get hot. But because the s7 is new I'm also quite paranoid with the heat and need to see if I have a defected device or not. And please state wether you have exynos or sd

Do you have exynos or snapdragon? I've got exynos and I experienced a average of 33 degrees Celsius, is that normal or average

I don't have any temperature measuring programs on the phone, but it rarely even feels warm. It will show heat a little more than your s5 does because its glass and metal but the s7 runs cooler than my s6 and the s6 wasn't really a hot phone either IMO.

Possible Deal Maker/Breaker Questions Regarding H8Pro

The comparisons between Honor 8 Pro and OP5 are going overboard but I am still left with some serious questions:
1. Has anyone's Honor 8 Pro survived drops? The Gorrila Glass 3 doesn't convince me 100%.
2. The OP5 seems to be resistant to water droplets/mild water contact. Does the Honor 8 Pro survive the same?
3. The most important question though is how serious and common is the heating issue? Some are okay with it, some say its dangerous. Can someone explain how badly it heats when using the camera and playing games?
I am in love with the Honor 8 Pro. If the above worries dont turn out to be very serious, I will be glad to be a part of this forum
Help me guys!

Regarding the first 2, I don't think anyone will do it on purpose for test. Device screen getting shattered on drop is pure luck. Well, gorilla glass 3 is more scratch resistant than shatter resistant. Gorilla glass 5 is more shatter resistant than scratch resistant. ?
The phone does warm up a bit upto 43 degree Celsius according to reviews. It's upto you whether you find that comfortable or not.

I'm a casual games but do occasionally try stuff like screen recording while gaming, etc..
taken a few photos..
in both cases, the heat isn't enough to make me feel uncomfortable.
I guess heat on"metal" phone is perhaps a good thing as it means heat is being dissipated via back case.. no?

1) I have survived a drop. I am not used to such smooth back finish and I was casual on taking it out of my pocket and it slipped on solid floor and not even a scratch, neither on the back or the glass. Phewww! Escaped!
2) We are having monsoon here and now n then it has again survived the drizzle and wet pockets.
3) The heating issue is quite normal. After almost 2 weeks, according to my use, it seems now there is not much noticeable heating. On the first few days, I was crazy on VR, streaming in FHD and 2k, games and stuff. Now on occasional gaming and regular stuff, the things are much cooler.

Of course, its a good sign to know that heat is being let out but there must be a limit to it right Anyways, seems like the heating isnt worrying

Thank you for a detailed answer, I am relieved that the heating problem has subsided but can you please tell what's the case while recording videos?

Not the right person to answer since I don't record a lot of videos! The videos that I have recorded till now are not more than 10 mins and while recording those, it warmed a little and definitely not uncomfortable! And yes the camera app never crashed or stopped working neither there was any lagginess or slow down later on!

Isn't Gorilla glas 3 and 5 equally resistant, just that the gorilla glas 5 does have some extra "stuff" (can't bother to Google it)? And the 5 lacks oleophobic coating which means it doesn't resist crease as well, at least that was the case with the P10 Plus in EU.
The heating hasn't been an issue for me at all, though the hottest it's been around here is about 24C. Mostly do gaming when I notice the phone getting warmer.
I can also confirm that the phone stays on in minus Celsius degrees and let's you take photo without a problem, if it helps

For the phone to stay in minus celsius temperatures, I am assuming you are living somewhere high up longitude or altitude wise. Anyways, thanks for your valuable input

You assume (longitude) correctly

I don't think they're serious

Honor View 20: Gamers' Secret Weapon?

I'm addicted to mobile gaming. Every morning during my commute to work I get out my phone and start playing Fortnite. Sometimes I get so absorbed in the game to the extent that my 50-minute commute passes by in the blink of an eye. Naturally nothing gets me more excited than new tech that could make gaming better, even something as simple as more screen makes me happy.
But this notch really gets to me. A lot of times I thought I'd pressed the right button, only to find out that I'd actually poked the notch, and in the next second I'm out of the game.
So when I heard about Honor's new notch-less View 20, I thought that could be the phone for me. My only concern though, is whether the hole-like camera is robust enough to withstand scrapes or bumps. I'm quite clumsy and don't want to break it every time the phone slips out of my hands. The new design looks a bit fragile…
Has anyone got their hands on a View 20? Any gamers have phone recommendations? Please let me know if you think the money's worth it!

Hi there,
I have the honor View 20 and would like to start off by saying, this is one of the best phones for gaming. It has the powerful kirin 980 paired with huaweis GPU turbo 2.0 and has liquid cooling.
Regarding the robustness, I would definitely recommend buying a tempered glass screen protector as the glass on the phone isn't gorilla glass so you'll see scratches form when you drop it or put it in your pocket with for example your keys. This goes for the back of the phone as well. I wanted to use the phone for a day without the case and once I got home found that there was a faint scratch on the back. So definitely get a glass screen protector and either buy a case or use the one included

After playing a few games on the Honor View20, I can say that it is definitely one of the best options for someone who spends a lot of time gaming. The phone never got warm and the performance is amazing. It will be interesting to see how to ToF camera is used more in the future for gaming. They have a few games that use it now, but it's more or less a gimmick at this point. Overall it's a very good gaming phone.

camera/timelapse over heating???

Hello Gents,
I work at sea and I get some long ass shifts.
Ive been dabbling at timelpase photography.
I find that FV5 is one of the better programs. It has better low light capture than say Lapse it Pro. IMHO
I have made a box (shoe box sized) to shield it from the elements with a borosilicate window, and a cell phone tripod adapter. It seals up water tite. im happy with Ver. 1 so far. With an 8500mah battery Id guess I should be able to shoot for 8+ hours except for heat.....
the G4 gets bloody hot
90C hot in about 3 hours.....
Ive stuck a copper heat sink in behind the cpu as per some of the online tutorials.... however it doesnt seem to do that much.
Im sure its taking up the space between the cpu and the chassis. I did some simple testing and Im not sure that the stock cpu shield makes contact with the cpu, I think theres a small gap.....Ive tried a .5mm piece of copper that is the exact shape of the cpu metal cover, and covered the cpu side with electrical tape to prevent arcing/shocks etc, then cut out small square for the cpu and gpu (w thermal paste) (for the gpu too as theres an online video that eludes to the fact that the GPU tends to add to the heat load of the G4, so why not....). then a smearing of thermal paste on the chasis side. A quick note about the Alu chassi within the g4.. its not that flat/smooth.... makes me wonder why....
however but thats not my question....
My question is this;
I see 90C heat (seen in CPU-z), and it gets too hot to handle, and the heat kills the huge battery, Im lucky if I get 4 hours of shooting/timelapse (with screen set to remain off while shooting). Is it solely the cpu thats creating the heat? Why?? Whats creating all the heat?
My G3 used to do the same thing.....during time lapse. Do all cameras create this much heat during timelapse?
I noticed the camera is encased within the chassis in aluminum. does it create alot of heat? I was thinking of making a small copper heat sink for it too...
Cheers
Alan
