Is the heat that bad?

Currently I'm considering buying this phone, and I've heard mixed opinions on the heat issues. I've never owned a Snapdragon 810 device, so I really don't know what to expect. Is it enough to consider getting something with an 808 instead? Will it overheat in the middle of taking a 10-minute video? How much does it take for it to get too hot to use?

S6 Edge easily heat issue

Hi,

I got a new S6 Edge on 14-Sept.
I found out it is easily heat no matter on what. Examples, download apps, software update, whatsapp, facebook, games, battery charging, etc.

I felt very uncomfortable as it is really very hot and i think can burn my finger. To prevent this, i now only can scroll the screen by putting the phone on something else, like on the table. You cant even touch the metal at side because of the heat, will feel pain if touch for longer time.

i using 5.1.1 OS. Anyone has the same issue? Or shall i go to claim for another one as this might be a defect device?

Heat Issue?!

Well hello everybody, i v been reading some reviews today and many of those mention heat issue on Axon. The thing is that i am after a new phone, looking on moto x style right now but the axon (elite international) also caught my eye. So please, tell me you experience about the heat, when does it heat the most and how bad does it actually heat (highest temperature etc.).

I need your help to check my theory: why many users don't have heat issues!

I have seen many reports on XDA and some other forums that many users have NEVER had heating issues, their Antutu are even over 50k. And I have seen a guy compared his Z3+ with his friend's phone in 100% conditional (preinstalled software, latest 251 firmware, background app, temperature at first,...) and the result is strangely diffirent: his phone didn't have heat issues as the camera was all good (just warmer than Z3 a little bit), but his friend's phone was hot and automatically closed the camera.

As all of you have already known, SONY USED TO FIX THINGS MANY BUG, FAULTS, AND RESOLVE MANY PROBLEMS .... in their later manufacturing weeks product. For example: A Xperia Z1 which was manufactured in late 2013 is hot, yellow-tinted screen, micro-USB protections are easily to be ripped off,.... but all the phones in 2014 and later are not having these issues.

So I think maybe, just maybe (and that's why I need all of your helps), Sony actually've done something on all the Xperia Z3+ that being manufactured on later weeks+, so that's the reason why many of you don't have heating issues or battery like others. This is likely to be happened because Sony actually acknowledged about the heating issues, and I don't think they won't do anything about it since the heating issues have been hurting the company.

So I want all of you to check your phone to me these informations:

Phone colors:
Region:
Cus. number:
Firmware version:
Heating status: very hot or not, and is the camera auto-closed thing still bother you?... more details if you can.
Battery status (SoT...):
manufacturing date:

This is how to check your manufactured week: In the simcard tray, you can see a small piece of paper (look closer), pull it out with a pair of tweezers or anything you can (the same thing I do to remove the sim card tray, my fingers are just too fat for that fiddly thing) and you will find found the information you would find usually behind a battery cover of other phone like Samsung's and such, the IMEI number, other serial numbers and of course, the manufacturing date. Write it down to me as above.
Example: 15W15, this means the phone was manufactured in 15th week of the year 2015 (between the dates April 7th to the 13th).

Thank you very much for helping :)

Heat && slowness with any custom kernel(ael/emotion)

Hi,

When I first got my Note 4 I flashed it with a custom ROM and Kernel maybe an hour after I bought it, and since then (that almost a year ago) I was never with the default ROM + Kernel from Samsung ,as I was annoyed it was always full of bloatware(they even put facebook app comes as a system app).

However now with 5.1.1 I've had non rooted defualt samsung kernel+Rom for 2 days and it was smooth(no issues/slowness and even the best score I've gotten on antutu- over 52k), never got a hot and was fun to be with.

Now I've flashed AEL just to get root and it started getting a bit warm/hot even after not using it with heavy loadings, (even after underclocking ) and the same with other custom kernels I've used this year for 5.0.1 (emotion mostly,ael, and the one that comes with CM when using cm).. and thats even after I deleted 60 useless system apps and made only the needed apps to start with the phone!
the phone feels smoother/less warmish with default kernel + bloatware then without.


Did you guys notice over the past year that your device gets a bit warmer/sometimes slower when actually using a ''better'' custom kernel with much more optimizations and development?
can it be that the default kernel is actually better?
