I have some issues, does this common or this is another HTC problem?
When I charged my HTC Battery and keep my HTC Desire ON.. my gadgets become warm, when I check use Battery Widget from HTC Corporation the temperature around 42.5' C
Is it normal? Anybody got this issues too? how to fix it?
What is your ambient temperature? I am charging the battery right now, it has 26C while the ambient temperature is 20C. However as the ambient temperature rises the delta is going to grow as the thermal runaway effect becomes more pronounced.
Mines 30C when it's lying in front of an open window while its 13C outside...
When charging I didn't reach 40C yet but this summer I will.
Also it depends where you put you're desire, I always lay it on my wallet to prevent scratches. This way it stays warmer than it would lying on my desk.
Nothing to worry about. If it reaches 50C call htc
The phone will get warmer when charging with the phone switched on.
There is in built protection against overheating so your phone will not be damaged.

Ambient temp is you're room temperature, or the temp of the thing you keep your desire in, for example in your pocket it will be a lot warmer than on your desk (cos your body gives of warmth)
just curious what is everyone brightness setting and how is your battery life
i like mine at 30%
battery life good, as you can see in the big battery life topic
30% seems to perfect for me too
just enough to hide the lines, and gets around 15 hours with a ton of use.
Sent from Beast ROM with juggs kernal
you forgot to mention at that setting it makes the images more vivid
while you can save more power by having it at 20% or even 15%
but then the images looks like any other regular SLCD display, or even pale if you set it lower than that
I love in Arizona where the sun can be very bright so most of the time i'm at near full brightness
Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.
55% brightness is perfect for me. I found it's the correct setting if you use the stock browser at manual brightness also. Meaning if you turn off auto brightness in the stock browser you can't match the brightness setting with the screen. If you ever tried it you can get exactly 50% on the screen, but the browser only goes slightly below or slightly above 50%. It's a minor detail, but it urked me every time I opened the browser, and the brightness changed.
Anyway, at 55% brightness I get about 18 hours of battery life, and within that my "screen on" time is anywhere from 3 and half, to 4 and a half hours. Depending on what I'm doing. Basic browsing last longer. Games shorter.
I always keep mine at 100% to really use the Super AMOLED screen to its greatest capacity. My battery life varies, with consistent usage, I get a good 4 - 6 hours. I'm currently using the Juggernaut ROM
In a bright room I just leave brightness off. It seems sufficient enough as it is. Outside in sunlight I use 30%.
I always notice my Galaxy Nexus gets quite warm when the screen is on. I was unsure whether this was due to CPU/data usage or something else. Then I noticed that if I leave the screen on while charging, the phone is warm near the top. (Even after fully charged overnight.) With screen off, a fully charged phone is totally cool.
Overall the batter life seems quite short on this phone. Even with just light usage like reading articles, the batter seems to drain quite quickly.... and I have a feeling it is the screen that is doing this.
So I did a very unscientific test: 10 Minutes screen timeout, both set to auto brightness indoors, screens look about the same brightness level.
Galaxy Nexus LTE: Started 68% and ended up at 63% .. had been 63% for a little while so I bet it was about to tick over to 62%. Top of the phone and screen was quite warm. That ends up being 30% battery per hour just to have the screen on and at low-moderate brightness.
Droid X: Started at 94% and just ticked over to 93% right before turning off. Phone totally cold to the touch. Comes out to about 6% per hour.
On my Droid X, I could sometimes get 4 hours of screen-on time on one battery charge -- this would usually happen with light usage like just reading wikipedia articles, etc. Not data intensive stuff. I haven't had the Galaxy Nexus long, but it seems getting over 2 hours is tough. (Both phone I keep on auto-brightness, and it actually seems like Droid X keeps the screen brighter in general.) This is with the same usage patterns and I have the same software configured on both .. syncing the same way, etc. (Touchdown Email and full Google syncing, plus weather app and a few other things.)
In airplane mode on the Droid X, like on an airplane, I used to be able to watch videos for like 5 hours using MX Player easily and have batter to spare. (Hardware acceleration.)
At the battery drain I'm seeing on the Galaxy Nexus, a full charge battery would be dead in about 3h 20m just by having the screen on and the phone totally idle! That can't be right. The screen brightness is pretty low on auto brightness and that's just abysmal.
Anyone else seeing this on their Galaxy Nexus?
Just another test -- all phones on airplane mode. (All radios off) Brightness matched as closely as possible. (Fascinate was slightly brighter than other two but it has a smaller 4" AMOLED screen so I figured it was ok.) All phones on battery status screen.
Droid X Started at 89% ended at 88%. Phone totally cold.
Galaxy Nexus SCH-i515 Started at 56% ended at 52%. Phone warm at top.
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500 - Started at 93% ended at 92%. Phone totally cold.
Fascinate is running ICS 4.0.1 with a gingerbread kernel. Forgot which build of ICS.
Anyway, this can't be right -- only 24% per hour at this rate with all radios off for Galaxy Nexus but even with that, just sitting there idle at the battery status screen would kill the battery in a little over 4 hours.
And I had the Galaxy Nexus on auto brightness but the when I unchecked it, the equivalent manual brightness was about 10% from the left on the slider. (Very dim as I'm inside my apartment right now.)
I will try again with the slider at max brightness....
*SIGH*
OK, WTF! I set my Galaxy Nexus to maximum brightness and did the test again.
Start 52% and after 10 minutes 49%. I don't understand how the usage is less with the screen at maximum brightness! Phone is only very slightly warm at the top too. Much cooler than previous tests. I wonder if this is the auto-brightness feature causing excessive CPU cycles?
Will try again with brightness set to 10% (similar to auto brightness) but with auto brightness unchecked....
Start 49%, end 47%. Only 2% drop in 10 minutes. Phone feels cold at the top.
One more try with auto brightness enabled again:
Start 47%, end 45%. Phone feels cold at top now.
I don't know what is going on... anyone else seeing similar things?
(PS I have LTE disabled since I get a very weak signal in my apartment as it is and I didn't need it hunting back and forth.)
I can kill the phone in about 2 1/2 hours at full brightness as well.
After far too long of shockingly-bad battery life from the stock Moto 360 with no apps at all installed and power consumption of as much as 8% per hour -- and multiple failures to even get to the end of the day without having to recharge, let alone get multiple days -- I want some feedback from my fellow Moto 360 users:
I DO NOT WANT YOU TO REPLY UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
* Latest firmware installed
* --> Ambient mode enabled <--
* Auto brightness or brightness level 1 (the lowest)
If you do, please reply noting your typical battery life in hours and/or your typical hourly power consumption. Please also note whether you have Motorola Connect installed, whether you have any other Wear apps installed, whether you have a watch face other than the default, and how much the watch is being used.
My goal here is to get a ballpark for what power consumption should be with Ambient mode enabled. Please, if you do not have Ambient mode enabled, do not reply.
Have you tried rebooting your phone in the morning, before you take the watch off the charger? Before i did that, i was getting about 7% drain per hour, after doing that for the past few days, i've gotten the following: 4.9%, 3.4%, 3.6%.
Currently, i am not using any facer watchfaces, just the Moto Rotate face.

Thanks for the tip. Rebooting the phone should have precisely zero effect on the watch's power consumption; I'm pretty certain this is nothing more than placebo effect. I'll give it a try tomorrow though, just to rule another thing out.
Ambient Mode on. Auto Brightness. No Apps. Latest firmware (whatever is latest on 10/13/14).
I get at least 16 hours. I haven't had it go dead yet. 20-30% left by midnight. I think it got down to 10% once?
Moderate use. Music always playing/updating. Texting/emails are the only method I use for communication and it's fairly frequent (a few notifications an hour) and I occasionally ask it stuff. I never use the heart rate monitor.
Ambient/auto bright. Off the charger at 745 am, it is just about 12 hours later and I am at 20%. This is very typical.
I run a few apps including wear mini launcher but nothing crazy. Motoconnect installed on phone as well. All software current.
Ambient on, auto mode.
I wear it from 2 days, yesterday I've had about 15 hrs (7am to 10pm before death). Moderate use, some notifications per hour and about 20min of navigation. Didn't receive calls or used cardio. Stock watchface and some apps installed.
I also got 15 hours from 100% to 2%, with ambient ON. I don't expect much more without a substantial software update on both the phone and watch sides.
I did this yesterday and the watch had used 12% every hour. I constantly shook it to keep the screen on, every time the screen faded out.
My 360's battery life has actually been much better than I expected, even with Ambient Mode On. I've been using it for about a week with ambient mode enabled, brightness at level 3, and I still get about 20 hours. I've got a few Wear apps installed, like Wear Mini Launcher and one or two others. Without ambient mode turned on, I get about 24 hours or so. I expected the battery to be terrible after all the reviews but so far I've lucked out on my 360.
Off the charger at 730 am and dead at 9pm. I love the watch and will suck it up and deal with it but the battery life sucks.
Mine consumes about 4.5-5% per hour with ambient on, medium usage.
Kinda double than I get with ambient off.
No one is running facer, right? My battery life seriously sucks with this app.
I get about 12-15hrs before its completely drain.I have ambient light on auto brightness as well.Couple face watches nothing fancy updated to the latest firmware.

I was off the charger at 745 yesterday and dead at 615 which is my worst day ever. I do get a ton of notifications due to work email. I turned off ambient for today and cannot believe the difference. Ambient mode uses at least 2x the battery vs not having it enabled.
Off the charger at 745, it is now 2 pm and I am at 83%. I didn't expect it to be this drastic of an improvement.
I really like ambient mode, but it is tough to justify when the watch is dead in 12 hrs due to it.

Couldn't agree more. In my opinion, ambient mode is simply not a feature of this watch because it is not usable. And that's with a brand-new battery, too. Two years from now, you'll likely have to recharge twice a day just to get through the day with ambient mode enabled.
I have ambient mode on and use Facer and and I can last a full day from averagely 0830 to sometimes around 0100 in the morning. Lowest I've gotten is to around 4% and that was almost near 0200.
But my stats are from light to moderate use. Didn't use navigation or other apps extensively, just time checking and occasional clearing of notifications.
I find the responses here interesting. Maybe I just have a great model. I admit that I probably have what people would consider light usage (it's a damn watch not a phone!) so take it with a grain of salt I guess. But with ambient mode *ON*, I've been going from about 9-10am to 12am (14-15 hours) and ending the night at 66%! I turn off the watch, and then use it for another day the following day. Today, would have counted as my 3rd day in the row without a charge, but it was at like 25%, so I charged it for about 5-10 mins (not sure what percentage it was at.. probably like 30-32%), and went from around 10am to 4-5pm. So basically 2.25 days or so of battery life with light usage. Oh, I also use a black background, and stock "classic" face which probably contributes to this as well.
128
I did a test over 2 days, first one with Ambient Off and second with Ambient On. It was "scientific" as the usage varied slightly (i.e. I used it as and when I needed on that day) and found that on day one at 10pm I still had 20% battery left and on day two when I got home from work at 18:30 I had 15% left and it was dead by 10pm.
With the news Im hearing about the watch being more responsive to wrist movement and turning off I will be using it with Ambient Off. Im satisfied with the battery life - I put my phone on charge every night already, no harm in also doing the watch especially as its so simple.
Hi guys. I've searched every post about heating problems but I have a question about S20/S20+.
When I use it for basic stuff like Facebook and whatsapp, my phone battery temperature gets 35c after a few minutes. If I open intensive cpu apps, it raises to 39, 40. I am using Ampere app to monitor.
Is that normal? Do I have to worry about it? I live in Brazil and ambient temperature inside my house is 27c.
Can you share your battery temp here after using the device for a while?
35c to 45c is well within the thermal limits of your device. Naturally if you live in a tropical area the ambient temperature is going to be higher and thus would have a negative impact on the device's temperature.

Just realized that if device hits 40c Celsius, it automatically turns off 120hz. Just happened with me. If I use camera for more than 15 minutes, it hits 40

That's normal. I'd be more worried if the device didn't do that automatically. Prolonged camera usage (esp 4k) causes a lot of devices to heat up regardless of the brand.
