I know lots of users are experiencing overheating. I'm just wondering if it's all or just a select few of the phones. My phone has been perfect aside from the overheating. No sounds screen or pink button issues. I'm debating whether to call amazon and order a replacement. I'd hate to get one back that has more problems than the one have.

its part of having a 4G phone. the radio's to blame. same thing happened with the Thunderbolt, Charge & even heard of people with Bionic's having the same issue.
So getting to 117° in 15 min of play is normal?

The only time i over-heat is when using the MHL adapter. Havn't tried playing 3d intensive games for longer than 10 minutes, so not sure about that (i'll try later tonight, they won't let me play at work).
Might be that the screen is on too long at high brightness rather than just the processor taking in to many inputs? Or it might be the 4g, cause I was streaming movies when watching on the MHL... it'd be nice to know what people are doing that makes there phones overheat so we can analyze more results.
Never had an overheat on my rezound. I run wifi daily all during work. usually only streaming pandora or gmusic over wifi. netflix on some days but never gets hot. mostly on wifi so not sure about 4G.
With the 4g network down in Chicago yesterday I was plugged into a wall outlet and streaming through a radio feed via dolphin and my phone wasn't overheating in 2g. Coincidence? I think not lol. Will be testing my replacement rezound starting today we will see how this one goes.

Mine overheats after continuos anything. Always on 4g. It's been to 140.1 before and is reguraly above 120.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Mine was heating up to just below 120. I contacted our rep who offered to switch it out. I told him I'd be happy to just try a different battery, but he said he'd rather switch out the whole thing. 3 days later I have another new Rezound. So far, no heat issues. (Knocking on wood.)
Is the the battery itself or the phone. I got my replacement phone today but has pink buttons so. I'd rather just swap batteries

its through amazon wireless and they give me 30 days from the shipping date to return. They also did overnight delivery for the nes one which was awesome.
anyways I just played a game that over heated my phone to 115 then I stop pulled the battery. I'm waiting a half hour or so so my phone cools down then I'll do the same game with the nee battery and we'll see how that goes. If it over heats I'll repeat the process in the new phone. Sure hope its just the battery
Are you in an area that gets a good data signal? When I was in an area where the phone was working hard to keep the 4G signal,it would warm up.

I have good signal but the 4g is irrelevant to my overheating. I turn it off. Clear all apps. Start the game (little war game or whatever) and it gets over 110 degrees atleast after ten minutes.
original phone overheated both batteries. Testing new phone now

Are you 100% satisfy with your E3D? Why/why not?
Had mine for two weeks now...
Can't say I'm that happy. Random reboots, reception issues, and things like my battery discharging even though its plugged into my USB annoy me.
Stickin with it though, I have faith in this thing.
I am very satisfied with it in an "off-the-shelf" capacity. There is virtually no lag, and does everything I would expect from a non-rooted phone very well.
I don't have any of the issues though. No reboots, screen issues etc.
Once it is perm rooted it will be perfect.

Ever since the day I received it, never had any problem, but for some reason still not satisfy. Maybe because there's no permanent root s-off?

Lmao mine takes about 6 to 7 hours to charge and it will sit at 99% and keep charging succks lol think its staying awake .
I was happy with the EVO but not Sprint. Sadly i blows in my area (or PR entirely) dropped calls, goes straight to roaming in the first floor of my house, average data speeds or 200kbps and a all time low of 7kbps etc. It wasnt worth the switch from TMO. Good thing they let me reactivate before 30 days of cancellation and its like it never happened im back at 5mbps land and my phone works at home now horray!!!

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
For me i am Happy but would be happier if the stuff was better implemented, seriously HTC no Hardware Acceleration for 2D or Browser, They could have just taken the stuff from CM and put in, Also Animations aren't that smooth, when i plug in via USB the screen responsiveness goes down. 3D is something i am loving. Woulf be happier if they had put in a 8mpx camera in there to go with a 5mpx or just 2 8mpx
This phone gives me a boner every time I turn the screen on.
Everything is pretty much perfect except for the green tint thing and I'm hoping they'll fix that with a future software upgrade. If not, it's still not a deal breaker for me.
Anyone experience this? I noticed when my phone is plugged in and i play a game for 5 mins the top half of my phone gets to 47-48 degrees... Almost too hot to hold. When I leave it alone it stays about 10 degrees cooler. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks for bringing this up, it's quite relevant to my interests.
Mine also gets hot. I recently upgraded my folks' phones to ATT Galaxy S II's (non Skyrocket) and they both get very hot when surfing on battery power via data. My battery monitor widget said 103'F at one point.
My Note also feels a little laggy (not hugely so) and has crashed a couple of times. The battery life is atrocious (coming from an iPhone 4)... I'm considering exchanging it at ATT as I'm still well within my 30 days. Rooting and freezing all the usual suspect apps hasn't helped.

Whats weird is that my original one didnt get hot but was laggy and freezing up. This ones the exact opposite.. Fast as hell and hot. Now i did a couple tests and the only difference was that the white on my current phone had a slight yellowish tint on the original. Battery life i get 12-17 hours on both.

My first note would her extremely hot between 117f and 130f while idle on a charger from the top half up. Used a thermal temp sensor from my liquid cooling to measure temp. According to a friend of mine manager at an att, said the heat problem is the biggest for return and that from what he's found out talking a Sammy rep that the cpu and memory in some units through shipping and handling have been loosened from their respective heat transfer system.
So basically manufacture defect and if it gets hot replace it. It'll hurt the internals.

Ya, I would say try changing the battery. Someone did a test a while ago where they took 5 phones in put them in something and lowered the temp by 10f every 30 mins. At -10 batteries that had just been charged said low, then I think died at -20. Then at -30 they all had screen problems and battery problems. And I think they almost all stopped working completely at -40. But all they had to do was return the phones to room temperature again and they were all fine. I'll try and find the article but wat I'm saying is I don't think the cold damaged the phone but maybe the battery

I hope you are keeping your Amaze in a warm pocket. I recall seeing a story several years ago about an Air Force plane that overnighted in Fairbanks AK. They were carrying LCD monitors for southeast Asia. Turns out that all the monitors were ruined when their screens froze. LCD = Liquid Crystal Display, and liquid can freeze...
EDIT: having looked it up online, I'm not sure if the story is true or not, but many LCDs seem to have a -40c max storage temperature.
Hmm can't quote you ^^^
Yes its in my pocket its not -40 its like -10 to -35 at most, LCD is fine (thanks for info btw) just data and battery life (even when I don't go outside the battery don't last long, like 2 hours) since data don't work with right APN and everything I'm going to just get another phone, until then gonna try to make it work, any help would be appreciated.

Could possibly be due to condensation issues. I had a phone a few years back that suffered in the Ohio winters, which get nasty but don't compare to those temps. Also, as I understand it, cold kills Li-Ion batteries quite nicely.

Usually Navigation does that to any phone, and I can only imagine a metal one.

Greetings to all the XDA community. I felt like i had a bunch of different problems with my new HTC One, that encompassed a few different threads, so i was wondering if Im the only one with such problems. If any of you had experienced one or all of these problems please let me know what you did to fix them. I appreciate your input, first time HTC owner here
1. Battery life very very subpar. Charged it for 4hours out of the box before using the first time, battery fell from 100 to 20 in 5 hrs of regular use.
2. Battery charge time is terrible. Takes 3 hours to go from 30% to 95%.
3 Wifi scan range is horrible. My Note 2 picked up 2 bars of wifi in my room, while the One cant even connect. Sitting 10ft from the Router, bars keep fluctuating from 4(max) to 1, sticking to 2 bars mostly. I dont want to burn through my cellular data allowance atleast at home.
4 Camera resolution in very average, I know its only 4 "ultrapixel", but it could be muh sharper even with that.
5 and ofcourse, the legendary capacitive buttons, especially the Back button. Unresponsive half the time, responsive after 3 soft touched (and one frustrated one). I dont mind them lighting off at times, but the unresponsiveness is unacceptable.
The build is gorgeous, no problems anywhere. The speakers are just awesome. The phone feels amazing in hand. But if i cant get wifi in my own house, and the buttons keep being so stubborn, i cant spend 2 days with that, let alone 2 years. Am i being too picky here?I hope so, cuz i REALLY love this phone for its PROs.
Please let me know what you guys think!! Thanks!!
My only problem is that battery seems to not last long and the gap on top. I wonder if I can exchange it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
i didn't notice battery life issues (esp coming over from my nexus s) but I probably have less background stuff running than most-- I actively shut down facebook syncs, google talk, etc.
no issues with wifi antenna whatsoever.
the capacitive responsiveness issue is documented and supposedly fixed in one of the upcoming OTAs.
Sounds like you may have a defective device. I'd exchange it.

They advertised the phone as GAPLESS so if theres a gap and you think is bothering you then you free to return it ( if you still on you 15 days )
Half of the top of mine is gapped from between the head jack and the power button all on the left side id guess roughly 1/64th of an inch..maybe less it's hardly a concern that's how miniscule or a problem it is to me.
As long as it doesn't display screen issues and get dirt beneath I'm fine with it.
It's not falling apart and I use an otterbox anyhow.
It would be far more realistic to let the phone grow old.... maybe drop it ...crack something let wear take place....so it looks legit... have a good reason to get an exchange/assurion claim.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't know about T-Mobile, but I know many international customers have gotten warranty exchanges because of gaps. If the gap is big enough that it bothers you, ask for an exchange. It is definitely ridiculous on some units I've seen.
About charge times, it charges normally up to about 90% then slows down much more than most phones. I think it's very well-implemented given the totally non-repairable nature of the phone. I just finished charging an hour ago, and it charged from about 30% to 90% in under 2 hours, then spent another hour going from 90% to 100%. It's much better to charge slowly at the high end and preserve the health of the battery. Also most people probably know this, but charging over USB from a computer is much, much slower than using a wall charger (and wall chargers vary in power output as well).
Can I just go in a T-Mobile store and ask for an exchange for the small gap? & they'll replace it?

I am having the exact same problem as you (#5 above) with the capacitive buttons. The Back button doesn't respond half the time. It is really frustrating. The Home button too respond especially when double tapping to bring up the recent apps list it doesn't respond like half the time. I thought maybe it was a software issue. I guess it's a defective device then?
I have read that the buttons can be fixed through a software update by htc, though I have no idea when tmobile might push it out. For people in Europe with the same problem, they claim the OTA fixed it.
If that's the only problem you have, it may be with waiting for the ota or a custom rom with fixes.

I got mine online, so im not sure of in store availability.
Thanks to each and everyone for your valuable advice and experiences. After countless hours of online research and tech support, I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people are having a at least one issue out of the box with their phone. HTC seems to have rushed this phone into the market in an effort to beat the S4 in timing, but in doing so they have caused quite a few quality control issues with undoubtedly the best smartphone at this time.
I bought a S4 to compare side by side before I made my decision, and after days of deliberation it seems that the One is superior to the S4 only in the flawless design and excellent speakers. This is purely my opinion, but after putting them side by side in my room, and seeing full wifi bars on my s4 and the one struggling to get just one, I must with heavy heart return my One. I came from a note 2, looking for a 1080p display and connectivity for my media consumption, and HTC could only provide one (pun unintended).
With all of you struggling with issues with your phones, good luck. I guess I'm staying samsung for now.
My older HTC One X also has poor wifi in my house. My iPad picks up signal great in my house but the minute I start walking away from my wifi router the HTC One X drops connection. Seems like wifi reception is not their strong point in all their smartphones.
