Hello I bought a few days ago, this tablet and I have a few problems with it.
1 virtually anywhere as it lightly squeeze he creaks
Second right speaker crackles slightly as the game
3 after taking ROOT I have a feeling that the harder the heats of methyl at the front of the camera and I saw what I eats the battery is 79% it was the screen and I have almost a minimum brightness and battery saving mode enabled

Don't worry about the language issue....
1. As with the "creaks" or "noise" when you squeeze, it seems that some Z2 tablets have this issue. I use a cover on my Z2, and do not notice anything unusual. I would suggest you look at the display, around the edge of the tablet, and see if there is anything unusual.
The Z2, to keep weight down, and keep it thin, is not as strong as some other tablets. So if you are a hard "Gamer", you may be squeezing/twisting the tablet very hard, and not realize it.
As with all tablets, I would advise getting a cover for it. This adds more protection. Paid a lot of money for it, so it needs protection.
The fact is, it really shouldn't be making noises. This is a build issue, and you should replace the tablet.
2. Speaker noise. This can happen to any tablet, and the Z2 does not have the best speakers, especially at high volume. Use headphones/buds. I also might suggest (as you rooted the tablet) to install Viper4Android Audio and see if the problem exists.
3. Overheat (hot area). This is normal on high performance tablets when playing graphic intensive games. I would think the hot area is where the CPU/GPU is located. If the tablet doesn't reboot, then don't worry about it. Root has nothing to do with this.
Finally, battery. Here is how you correctly read the battery usage chart. Let's say you have 100% charge. After a couple of hours use, you are at 70%. So you used 30%. You look at the chart, and see Display is responsible for 70%. Of course it is. The display is what uses the most battery.
So in effect, of that 30% battery loss, the Display was responsible for 70% of it ( the 30%).
Although there are many threads on XDA informing how to reduce battery usage, don't forget to set the "updating interval" on all your social apps (facebook, mail, etc). Maybe you don't need it updating every 5 minutes! You can also install a couple of apps, to check and see what exactly is using your battery. Better Battery Stats is a decent app for checking things. Although after using it, I would uninstall it. Titanium Backup can "freeze" certain apps running in the background, and Greenify can make them hibernate. Just 2 more useful apps.
If the above issues are too much for you, I might suggest returning the tablet for a replacement. You just bought it, so the return might be ok.
I forgot to add that sometimes stops responding to touch or hold.
Hi people, just wanted to ask if anyone had the same experience of your device getting quite warm on the bottom portion where the pins are (seems warmer on the front though). I know that's where the motherboard and all the computing power is at, but it's strange that it can get warm even when all you do is browsing the web using chrome, taking a look at CPU-Z, it shows some things can get as warm as 50-55 degree Celsius, and if I'm not the only one, then is there anything that can be done about it, I mean, it probably shouldn't be like that, right?
That does seem a bit warm for web browsing, I just did a quick test on mine (4K video recording for a few mins) and CPU Z showed temperature just reaching 50C.
Under normal use it seems to range from 45-50, also warm to touch near the bottom. Mine does have a skin and battery mod on so I'd expect higher if anything, but I am using the Turbo Z kernel rather than stock so maybe unfair to compare. 55 is still safe, it seems fairly normal for this phone to reach these temperatures.
Turning off half the pixels when you don't need them may help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=screen.dimmer.pixelfilter beyond that I'm not sure besides using a custom kernel to help.
Are you using the international variant, clocked at 1.8GHz? If it's hitting 55C web browsing on that I'd be surprised but it seems similar to mine with the Turbo Z kernel clocked at 2.15GHz.
Edit: Just noticed mine hit 60C on some thermal sensors in CPU Z after prolonged use in chrome, dropping quickly to 45C after opening CPU Z. I really wouldn't worry about the temperature, it does seem normal.

Thank you for your reply, I have the international variant (UK), fully stock, I just wasn't sure if going for a custom kernel or a ROM (the one made by janjan seems to be the way to go) would help this or make it worse. It's strange how I would rather go for custom software made by an enthusiast instead of updating to nougat in fear of bugs, but it is what it is, huh.
Edit: is it just me, or some of these phones cameras are not in the middle of the circle that they are mounted it (dont know how to explain it better), for example my front camera sensor is shifted to the right upper part of the circle, doesn't seem to affect its performance though.
No problem I'm running stock with Turbo Z kernel at the moment to up our phone from its underclock of 1.8GHz (UK here too), set up a few profiles in kernel adiutor and I'm very impressed with performance. Agreed, I'm likely going over to N to try Daydream VR soon but so happy with this using Pixel Launcher, animated Nav Bar and G assistant etc. All very stable and smooth at the moment so it's a tough call.
Not sure about the camera thing, perhaps noticeable on my front one but depending on the angle of light hitting it it's hard to tell. Not seen any issues with it either :good: , maybe just a bit of manufacturing inconsistency.
I was just noticing last night how well mine stayed cool after prolonged use actually. I believe that even if this thing gets hot it has a great cooling sync body and dissipates quickly. JerryRigEverything's screen flame test on moto z lasted 3.5x longer without damage than almost any other phone, not this issue, but perhaps promising on heat durability.
Sent from my XT1650 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It sure does, mine can get warm but the second I stopped using chrome for example it cooled right down again. Durability of this phone from that video was really impressive.
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 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 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!
I'm no gamer, but I didn't faced any heating issues so far.
Maybe I can't speak about heat as I used to use a galaxy S4 exynos (it's a portable cooker in case you don't know, easily reaching 96°c when just browsing on battery), this never heated, the temperature is about 45°c and it never felt uncomfortable hot, actually it never felt hot even in high external temperatures, I don't game on my phone, also I don't do highly demanding tasks, but I guess this phone can stand very well against whatever demanding task you want..
Ya very less heating in rn4
This phone is cool as... Hm, how to explain this.
Imagine hell.
Now imagine it has frozen.
That's the heat level of RN4. Snapdragon 625 does it job.
My phones been fine, up until this last few weeks...
Where I can't hold a charge for more than half a day... And even running phone a USB socket on the computer, the phone still discharges faster than it can charge. Battery getting hot too... I've tried looking to a culprit app that might be churning the cpu. But even process Explorer isn't showing high cpu use from any given app.
The battery app which shows what apps drain most doesn't seem to show it either.
Really worried and nearly giving up. Might do my first factory reset in the 2 years I had this phone. Maybe time to root it and install another rom, Any suggestions?

Just trying to comfort you - you are not alone!
First, it's my secondary phone and I use it only when I travel. So not sure since when that happens. Maybe since a week or so.
Now I can lose like 30% in one hour, and the phone gets really hot. I used the last 2 days. Example, this morning it had 100% after overnight charging. I went for breakfast and lost 30% in one hour (rarely use the phone when I was out).
Then I charge a little in the car, phone went went from 58% to 64%. Then for no reason battery life was normal again and by the end of today I had about 20% - and then suddenly withing 20 Minutes it went dark.
I have the phone for about 2 years, this problem is very new.
What I try right now after reading stuff on the internet, so it must be true:
Remove all updates to Google Duo (this app can't be removed) and disable the Auto-Update for it in the PlayStore. Lets see..... (it's an app I never used, had to lookup what it actually is). Did that 15 Minutes ago and phone is already much cooler.
Ok uninstalled updates to duo and blocked auto update in playstore... ill see if that helps... Thanks for the tip
I must admit though, this had made me consider getting a new phone... but I dont really want to the phones good (when its working right) does all i need i to do.... Sure newer phones are a tad flashier but not enough to make me jump to get a new one.
Wow, That appears to have worked..... I mean its not really long enough yet to tell but it does appear to have stopped the fast draining and heat... At least for the first few hours....
Thanks
So if it really is duo causing this battery drain, why do no battery analysers seem to show that?
And is it doing it to all smart phone with duo and I guess it's latest patch installed?
Has duo been spying on us? Has it been running the camera and watching us while we sat on the loo, which I'm soooooo currently not doing..........
Thanks! The recent heat issue after an update had me thinking i need a new phone. I really like this phone, its lasted me by far the longest, and best run times of all I have ever had. I was worried about fire, did a full factory reset with no installed apps, but heat was still there. I removed updates to Google Duo, and stopped any future updates as listed above, and its running cool and clean again.
Once again thanks for this post!
Yep can confirm now after a few days... no heat no fast draining... Google Duo was the culprit... is it a but that just affected mediatek cpus? Or do all android phones suffer this bug? is anyones heads rolling at google for this farce?
ITs fine and good...... no options.
While charging and playing games or using heavy data apps.... it wont get heated like expected when connected to electricity.
When on power banks it works otherwise , gets charged and increase in temperature.
One of the best thermal performance I have seen on a smartphone, thanks to the Snapdragon 625 chipset powering the phone. It had no competition back when it was launched.
Using this phone for gaming almost baked my hand
Not sure if you guys experienced this, but I was playing around with the Google Assistant in Akinator and my device temperature went sky high up to the point where the phone notified me that it has to dim the screen and take action against that.
I set my phone to the max resolution and framerate, and I also keep it in the silicone bumper they shipped.
Did you guys ever see this happen too?
P.s. it wasn't charging.

No issues here, in fact I've been impressed with how cool it stays. Hammered some benchmarks and it barely went over 45c
This is obviously just sat idling now but I've been using the phone for over an hour on max resolution, 90hz and no power saving.
I faced the same in two instances. One, when I was transferring files through Xender. Second, when my Google Photos were syncing with cloud.
Received the same notification as well. The phone was untouchably hot and battery drained a lot faster.
My assumption is whenever there's a big load of data transfer, the phone turns unbearably hot.
I really don't know why you're experiencing this, I have barely put my phone down today and it's been ambient temperature at best including when playing COD. I've got a fair sized file transfer going here and temperatures are absolutely fine
I should also point out before my first screenshot at 10am I had 17 hours standby. I've used my phone on and off all day for web browsing, music and some gaming and in the second screenshot 10 hours later I still have 30% battery remaining and it's not once gotten hot at all. Running 10.0.3 since yesterday afternoon.

Great to know that, I have no clue why we are facing this then. I was hoping it will get better with the future software updates.
Also, there's so much less to read about OnePlus 7T Pro compared to OnePlus 7 Pro. Seems a lot of people did not go for it hence the development is really less, I hope it catches up soon. Waited for so long to get a OnePlus device.
I am facing the same issue, sometimes I'll be doing literally nothing but messaging and the phone will become uncomfortably warm like in the 60's - 70°c also my battery life is quite lower than expected around 4 hours SOT I'm going to try a factory reset and hope for the best
Having exactly the same issue, brand new unit. Delivered today, CPU temps reaching 85 Celsius ! (updated to latest Android 10, not charging, not playing games or doing any intense tasks).
I own a OP6 and OP2 and never felt such uncomfortable heat while holding the phone, hoping its just a deficient unit and not a general problem with the OP7T Pro.
Pic attached.
Google hasn't had the best track record with their previous Pixels. They've all seemed to have at least one hardware issue. The Pixel 5s have overheating problems for example. Just wondering if anyone has run into any issues?
Haven't heard of any... but it's early in the game!
My 6 got hot during the initial setup, but once I turned off the 5G it cooled off a bit and I stayed on Wi-Fi.
Only a bit of warmth during initial setup, nothing that concerned me much.
The phone got very hot during charging.
Ok i just received my pixel 6 pro few hours ago and i am noticing heat issue around the back, starting from curve area, as i keep on using i can feel temperature in the back and screen as well. Really disappointed. I dont know what shall i do next

I am having the same exact issue. I went to the store and they told me that they will send the phone for assessment and will take a month. Ridiculous
Nope!
Video recording literally stopped after 7 min of 4k 60fps because the phone got too hot.
I got a message telling me to wait until the phone cools down. The screenshot of this message didn't even save..
My pixel 6 pro is getting hot during normal use too. Guess they need to update.
Yes it is getting extremely hot only by using insta, facebook, TikTok. No games installed. Left side of the phone starts getting warm then screen and back.
My phone was delivered on 26th Oct still have same issue. It looks like it'll be a case like snapdragon 810
My phone was overheating and battery drain a lot but since i put 4G on prefered nerwork, battery isn't draining anymore and don't heat no more.
Usefull or useless ?
My Pixel 6 Pro overheats recording 4K 60 and stops after 10-12min. Room temp 25c with no case.
I tried 4K 30 with the same results.
1080p 30 on the other hand can keep on going indefinitely I think. I got a message at 28min that the phone is getting hot, but it didn't stop the recording. Around 40min it reached thermal saturation and was fluctuating between 43c and 44.4c. I stopped it at 48:49min.
I think the new camera sensor overheats before the SoC and stops the recording.
my pixel 6 is overheating on a daily use. battery tab in setting telling me Instagram is sucking the battery, so I guess it's because of Instagram.
pixel 5 performed much better, to be honest. the battery also doesn't last that long. it's kinda disappointing. i thought it could be because my initial install somehow went wrong, so i am actually right now backing all up to do a factory reset. But after finding this thread, i seem not to be the only one, .. struggling with the idea to send it back.
do you think they will fix it? nobody else seems to complain. i mean no review ever said anything about overheating..

i will give this a try. if this will still drain my battery and overheating the phone I will go back to my pixel 5. glad I didn't sell it that fast
My pixel 6 is overheating on 4G/5G and battery drains fast. Browsing YT, video freeze and hangs. Same scenario, but connected to wireless network, getting +8h SOT, no freeze, no heat.
Just so everyone understands.
The P6 back cover plate is a heat sink.
The back plate is lined with copper to pull heat away from the electronics.
So with this in mind, the back plate can get hot while charging or heavy use.

Yeah, this has been surprising to me. So either Google is sending an altered version or reviewers don't use the phone that much and just make the video. Literally everyone I know who got the pixel 6/pro can feel the heat within few hours

I'm kinda glad to hear I'm not the only one, but it's pretty disappointing.
I now factory reset my phone without transferring old data from my old phone, just used backup'ed data from google one.
I need to test that out. definitely changing the preferred network type from 5G to LTE helped a bit. but battery performance still seems to be horrible bad in comparison to the Pixel 5.
it seems like you can not rely on youtube reviews for smartphones nowadays :/ looking at you Marques
I do run my phones with a case so sometimes hard to tell. Only time I experience warmth is running a couple mobile games, but they did this on my Pixel 5 as well. No extreme overheating or extreme battery draining experienced.
