HTC Touch HD heating problem.....

My new HTC touch HD is kinda heating up too fast. After just 1 hr talk straight talk, its really heated up. Is this normal, or is there something wrong with my battery or my phone itself.

And aslo the battery takes too much time to charge fully. Could someone help me out, Thanks...

    i have changed my htc touch 3times because of overheating..i finally give up..it seems the phone itself heats up with moderate use

    I have the same problem, after charging all night the phone last for two hours and then the battery runs down when hot, within half an hour. It seems to be the electronics at the bottom of the phone which gets hotter than the battery. But this could be because the battery is delivering too much current.



    The manufacturers website help line could only offer absolutely useless advice of hit the reset button inside - which is normally for software issues, not hardware issues. It is the most expensive piece of telephonic junk I have ever purchased

    I bough the unit a couple of weeks ago. In the first charge, it heated up and made me think hmmm!

    Afterwards, it heated up 5 or 6 times. Everytime it heats up the battery goes down in a 7-8 hours without hardly using the phone. I kept it in stand-by while heated, the battery went down the same. If it does not heat up, the same battery lasts whole day with 4 indicators intact.

    Battery does not heat up. I used a little application to monitor the battery and the temp fluctuated btw 20-24 degrees even when heating up.

    Strange thing is that I cannot reproduce it. It just happens randomly (of course when you just need the phone most).


  • posbiyik2 May 24, 2009

    I'd need to add that while doing the tests I mentioned below, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS were all off. The only radical thing I do with it is occasional internet browsing (over 3G, no pictures) and make/receive calls. But during testing, I did not even do that (except for receiving calls).

Dont forget you should be closing off the programs in the top right hand corner (pressing home or changing program doesnt close the program so make sure you are usually only running about 50%) and yes it is normally hot my friend and i both have one and we have already seen that both our hd's are quite hot on the back but not scorching... the bat should take up to 4 hrs most to charge off a wall and with regular txting and small (1-10 min calls) a couple of times a day and a little bti of web browsing the phone bat should last a day least.... (again make sure in setting wifi is off when not using and under settings/connections tab/com manager that this is all turned off (just to make sure)) especially remember that even closing the web browser in top right hand corner can leave 3g running so click on the 3g icon (depending on provider) on the top tab and disconnect it (also save u data usage)) atm im running for about 2 days off a charge at least and all i have done recently is reflashed my rom off the htc web site and whenever not suing the phone put it to sleep using the top power button (one press but im sure u all no).

Hope this helps! :D (great phone when you learn how to work it!)

You might be able to downclock the phone's processor with OMAPclock. This could be a design flaw. I wouldn't worry about it if it's not 'too' hot, and it works fine while it's hot...

Hi,

The heat is normal...unless it's scorching hot...then in that case there could very well be something wrong with y our battery. It takes a few hours for the battery to be charged completely with the phone turned off.

Vibration for text message

Hi,

I use an HTC Touch. Hopefully the menu should be the same in Touch HD as per the Touch. Try this..
Start -> Settings -> in the Personal tab, click Notifications -> u might see 2 tabs -> select Notifications tab again -> select an Event (here it is incoming SMS) -> below you'll see the Vibrate option -> tick on it to enable it -> Select OK to save.

Hope this helps, If so, rate me.. thanks - billa..

HTC Touch HD restart problem

Check the battery connection, if the battery is loose/moves around when you touch it with your finger, try putting a piece of paper on top, or the side, or which ever way it moves. So the battery will still touch the battery contacts. If this isn't the case, try doing a hard reset. Go to start>settings>system>clear storage. (It's like this in my htc diamond, not sure about the touch HD, but should be same) which will erase all data/contacts. Make sure you sync your contacts to your pc to save them!
