I'd just like to find out if anyone else has found that whilst charging that the watch can become a little hot?
Yes, it gets hot when charging, it's fine after a few minutes tho.
Should be fine
For me the issue was that it got hot and stopped charging. Some other people commented that it depend on power source, if charging of pixel power adaptor or charging from laptop. I didn't test with laptop yet, just limit to short charging so it doesn't get hot, because it will battery if it gets hot too often.
gets nice and warm for me, totally normal for wireless chargers, especially in devices this size. Never got so hot as to be uncomfortable to wear right after charging.
Yeah, charging with for example Samsung 25w charger, watch gets hot after 40% of charging and stopped at 90%, charged with laptop, no issues, not so hot. So it depends on charger.

I went to sleep last night leaving the phone to charge with the wall charger. This morning the phone only had a 71% charge and was ultra-hot. These lithium batteries don't like high temperatures.
Anyone else had these high charge temperatures?
It seems faulty ...
I did couple of times charging overnight, and so far so good ... always came back with 100% and cold.
i noticed that if i leave the phone to charge battery down on my leather couch it heats up but on my glass table it is fine think it to do with heat distrabution.
so to save any problems i bought a desk dock charger and never heated up since
Do you have a link to the desk dock you bought?
I was quite disappointed that the Desire couldn't use the Nexus One's stand so I'm interested in the alternatives.
Mine gets very hot when charging from the USB on my computer (and it charges veeeeeery slowly), but using the wall charger it charges fast and stays cool to the touch...
I an charging with the wall charger as we speak with phone on and from 6% and though the phone is very slighty warm it's definately not hot.
Maybe you didn't put the usb in properly and had a bad connection?
Was wifi on?? That affects heat. Any running apps??
Charging with the wall charger normally charges my phone from 10% to 100% in little over an hour while staying cool. I never do anything special to stop apps, last night nothing special was running (no movies or music or heavy cpu stuff).
The heat was located at the lower side of the phone. Under the battery lies the cpu (and gpu) and they were radiating the heat in my opinion, not the battery itself.
Hi all, brand new but I've been a lurker of the Tmo s6 edge forums.
Anyway here's the predicament. I got my S6E yesterday set it up, used for the rest of the day with no qualms.
When I went to put it on the charger it was at 7%, i thought to myself, I'll use an Apple 5W charger for a slower charge throughout the night.
I figured the slower, low powered charge will be better for the battery.
As it was charging it stopped in the middle of the night at 20%. From there, the phone constantly went from Charging, not charing, charging, not charging; repeatedly until I woke up to discover it at 7:20AM. I plugged in the phone at 2:30AM. It must have been in this charging on/off loop since 2:45AM or so. The phone was pretty toasty. The screen was on and the phone kept making that noise when you connect/disconnect from the charger.
So my question. will 4ish hours of everything i just mentioned fry the battery?
Edit: By fry I mean significantly reduce the overall battery lifetime. The phone seems fully functional.
All that noise and you didn't wake up earlier?
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. I've used Blackberry and older, non-fastcharging Samsung chargers on mine.
Had the same issue on my S3, it's battery lasted four years (gave it to my brother as a gift).
If you really want to check what's happening, get a $5 USB current monitor plug in adapter on ebay. It shows what voltage it's outputting and the current. I noticed that my old AT&T Note 3 OEM charger's voltage was actually high at 6V or so. This is to charge the device faster, but it didn't work well with any other devices or even portable battery packs.
So I've been using the wireless fast charger from Samsung and have noticed that my phone gets much hotter than it does with the wall fast adaptive charger plugged in normally. What's worst is that when the phone reaches 100%, it still stays hot. I'm talking hotter than the phone gets if playing a game full brightness for a while. Anyone else have this going on? Is this normal? And if it isn't, would I benefit from a reset or is this a hardware issue and I need to get the phone replaced?
I think that's normal,whenever I used a wireless charger my phone got really hot. Even at 100% ,if its sitting on the wireless charger it will still try and charge it and keep it at 100%(not overcharge) just as if you left it on the cord charger it keeps it at a 100% if you know what I mean
During charge, it's warm to the touch. But, not at 100%.
Make sure you have the the authentic Samsung wireless charger. There are lots of counterfeit out there, that will continue trying to push charges to the phone even at 100%.
I do have an authentic one, from best buy. So it's the wireless charger at fault, not my phone?
I just bought an use xl. The oem accesories were never used seems he was charging the pixel mostly in his car. Now im using the official oem charger and cable and heat up the phone like crazy. It does say rapid charging but even the time went up to 3 hour estimated time to fully charge which is crazy. Now using a galaxy s7 edge dock charge and some spare usb c cable i had the phone does not heat up,. Charge in quick charge and it take like an hour and 20 minute to fully charge..... Im i missing something here?
Charging time left is not static it changes with temperature. If your phone is already reached 42 45 degrees which generally correct it slows down charging. And also it heats up if you are using your phone during fast charging intervals which is first 20 min. Also even when you don't use it, it heats up because of wake locks (charging). Also i realize a hot climate is a factor. For oem charger it can reach 3 amps so it is normal for heating and most other chargers supply less so it does not heat up. Soo it is like a design problem you can charge your phone super fast but it will heat up so charging speed will vary but i think in the end it will still quick enough.
Why do you think they advertise quick burst charge instead of quick full charge ?
Previously coming from S8 & Note 8, while playing power demanding games plugged in it would hold and charges just fine but now it's barely gaining any. It says "fastcharge" but doesn't feel like it at all... anyone having similar issue?
I been on 4% past 30mins or so while playing Lineage 2 Revolution. Sometimes, I would lose 1~2%!
I have the same issue. I am charging S9 via cable with quick charge 3.0 adapter in my car. Some times it charging fast but sometimes it discharging even in idle. I found that it can be related with phone heatup. In sunny weather phone is warm (battery temperature about 40C-42C) and phone not charging. If I put phone in shade then it start charging in 5 minutes
