Is you HTC One heating much?

[Rohan Yadav]

Used HTC One for more than a week. When browsing web with 3G ON , it reaches 49-50*C kinda hot.
What should I do ??
Screenshots attached.

Mine on occasion gets to about 114 ?F when heavily in use. I've had it since May. I suppose it's normal - I haven't experienced any problems as a result.

Cheers!

My One gets warm when the surrounding temperature is hot. It's a metal body and that is expected I think. Under hot Sun, direct sunlight it will become warm very easily

My One gets warm/hot when I use it for long VOIP calls. It also did get really warm once when I accidentally pressed the 'Record video' button in the camera app and slid it into my pocket. I only realized that the camera was running by how hot the phone was in a little while.

It also does get a li'l warm when I play games.

If I use a sat nav app, nav free in particular, my phone goes into meltdown. And if it's a hot day as well then my phone is on the verge of being too hot to hold, literally.

Were you doing anything besides web browsing? What were your ambient temps? I've seen temps as high as that while using navigation in my car, with it charging and with the sun beating down on it. I use a vent mount now and with the AC blasting temps are low.

my One tends to get hot if i use it for bluetooth audio for extended periods of times i literally slide it into the ac vent of the car to cool if off

It's the nature of the device. A solid block of aluminum is basically one giant heat sink. You would be surprised at how much energy is expended (and, consequently, heat generated) changing all those 0s to 1s and back again. Mine has gotten ridiculously hot before, though a straight hour of Beach Buggy Blitz will do that. Look at it this way: better the heat is moved out and dissipated through the chassis than sit around and cook the components constantly.

Yes, it usually overheats when I'm running Google Maps. I've actually had mine tell me that it couldn't charge in the car because the power being consumed was greater than the charge going into the phone. WTF?!?!

That's pretty standard on mine. If I'm lucky my battery power stays the same until I stop using navigation, but mostly power is consumed even though plugged into my car's 12v socket.
