Cold weather and your phone.

Just recently moved to Chicago. I work out side quite a bit, and will be in the winter. Normally I keep my phone in my inside jacket pocket when I lived in Atlanta, No where near as cold there. Was just wondering what do you all recommend? Keep phone inside somewhere or do you think between my body warmth and the jacket, it would be fine. Not sure temp would start to damage the phone. I know when I came up here for New Years my old tour(9630) in just my pants pocket started to freak out.
Thanks for your time.

what u need is a hiking backpack, a generator, and a toaster to put ur phone in

Phone temp. doesn't affect much depending on how low of temperatures we are talking. anything lower than 0C (30F) I would get worried about. At lower temperatures issues with battery and LCD's happen. So I think as long as you keep it in your jacket close to your body heat it should be fine.

Yeah, in your inside pocket just body warmth will keep it safe. The only things I have noticed with cold phones is batteries discharge faster and lcds will stop responding. I have had a few phones freeze inside my truck when I leave them inside when I was hunting, but besides probably killing the batteries faster than usual I have not had any serious problems. Just warm them up before you turn them back on!

Lol @ hiking and toaster. As far as how low for temps I wouldn't think anything below 0 but then again this will bemy first winter up here working. Its not like I plan on being in the cold long. But you never know. Thanks for the quick replies. =)

I used my g1 in temps ranging from 110 to -10 (farenheit) with only minor issues. At warmer temps the battery seemed to discharge faster and below 20 the screen wasn't very responsive. As stated above, just keep it in an inner pocket when cold.

Welcome to Chi town. Enjoy your stay and the crappy politics. 30 degrees or below for more than an hour it goes in the inside pocket or I will stash it somewhere inside a building till I am done working outside.
good day.

Cold temperature couldn't cause serious damage to phone, only that it could sluggish, or make a fully charged one turns to low battery. You might encounter some screen problems but nothing a warm room couldn't fix. Definitely, your cellphone can surely survive a day on the slopes without worry.

Max non-operating temperature???

Here's a question that you can usually find in any electronic devices manual that HTC somehow left out. What is the maximum and minimum non-operating temperature for this device? Story below....
This morning I woke up to an alarm that was only vibrating... when I reached for my phone, I found it in a puddle of water on my night stand. Somehow, during the night, a water bottle had tipped over on my night stand and dripped on my phone all night. I work at a company that builds and tests electronics and so I have a temperature chamber that I can bring to any temperature I want to try and get the water out of the phone. I've shut off the phone and stuck it in a bucket of desiccant packs and I'd like to use heat to help that water move to the desiccant packs. How hot can I get this phone while it's in the off state without melting everything on the inside?
Thanks
Kyle

just submerge it in alcohol.but i'd make sure the battery was dead first

[Q] Heating issue

my phone gets really heated up even with normal usage, i.e., even if i just turn on the screen and look at settings menu or view photos etc, it reaches till 32 degrees, and if i turn on a game like riptide2, it reaches till 36 degrees very fast. same with charging,even in idle charging mode it reaches 36 degrees.
while idle, screen off it remains between 29 to 31 degrees
i checked with OS monitor, there is no rouge app eating up resources that ll heat up the mobile
Please help, if this remains the case my battery will wither away fast

In case you haven't notice, this is a water and dust proof phone with IP58 rating.
So expect a little heating from its tight protection where water can hardly get in.
As long as it didn't get too hot and make you uncomfortable, I think that's pretty okay from a user point of view.

thats true but when it gets beyond 34 degrees it gets uncomfortable , specially if ur on a call
wat i really wanted to ask is if this is normal and all u get the same temperatures, else i would return the phone for a replacement

Can't tell that is normal or not cause I've only one NTT ZR, but it do reach almost 40 degrees after running Antutu benchmark three times(take off back cover and uses IR thermometers Aim to the area near main camera).

So far it doesn't get too hot under heavy gaming or prolonged phone call AS LONG AS you are under a good ventilation.
When I was on a trip to a beach under a scorching sun, my camera stops functioning after shooting roughly 10 pictures.
It says "Cannot connect to camera due to high temperature in camera"
So if your phone gets too hot even you're in an air-conditioned room, you might wanna check it out.

It is normal until it gets 38 degree, after 45 degree you might see some malfunctioning on touch that doesn't work correctly, You then should cool your phone down immediately (turning off your phone might needed on some cases!)

Hot
Yep, it often stops the camera when it gets hot. Of course it happened more often in the summer. (folks down under: I know your summer is just about coming )
There is process running in the background Overheating monitor (or whatever) that is called. I do not recommend stopping that as you may burn your CPU or so.
By the way, do you guys then say the cover with the rubber seal is just the top of the crop, and due to the compact design, it sort of resist water in general, anyway? In summer it happened that a couple of drops of water got under the back cover. I was a bit worried.
Of course the usb charger slot cover does not seal that well as on day one - I am getting my dock next week or so.

hey, i've just got my ZR few days ago.
i played 2 straight hours of real racing 3 today. drained the battery empty from 60% charge, either way, the device was defenetly not cold, but it didn't overheat.
i was comtrable holding it and i got no notifications about over heating, more over i paused the game at one point to take a picture of my cat who came bugging around, the camera worked just fine when it was hot.
i live in israel, ain't excatly the coldest country in the world...

Nice cat, but clean his eyes, dude!

Don't worry about the heating problem I watched videos where the sony Z (which is quite similar to our device) gets to a 47 degrees Celsius and then it stops heating, the processor downclocks and everything is fine. If you think that this is heat check what the LG Optimus GJ does, you can practically light a fire with it . All of this is due to the fact that it's sealed and can't cool down like other devices. Samsung Galaxy s4 also has these problems and lots of other devices too. Here is a video of the Z (it's in russian but you'll understand from the temperatures) that can show you how it compares to other devices (as I said our device uses the same chip so the results are similar) it also shows the battery performance.

Smell from the bottom of phone

Hello! I have a smell from the bottom, smells like acetone, nail polisher. Especially it is smelled from 3.5 jack under heavy usage, smell is almost consistent. Is it normal and do you have it?

Maybe a battery fugue???
Be aware and contact ti warranty

was it hot?

Yes, it was hot and turned off automatically during wide angle 60fps shoot for an hour when it was on Android 9. When I turned on it after, there was 1 percent and it was a long usage after with this 1 percent. This situation was repeated during a month. I have Android 10 now, all good except the smell, temps are:
Core 38C
Battery 28C
In usual use. No overheat now
60hrz has less smell then 90hrz as I observed.
Don't you have it, phone users? How to get rid of this smell?

I use Rdmi note 6 pro and I have same issue.No battery drain,no puffiness but the smell is consistant

Question Redmi Note 10 pro

Does it has a heating issue.
My black phone always feels a bit hot. But the performance doesn't drop. I think because of the glass back I can fell the heat. Because I checked the cpu temperature it was about 37-40. And my room temperature wat around 35+.
And another thing is that the charging time is a bit slow considering it's 5020mah and 33watt fast charger. It takes around 1 hour from 15% to 80%

This morning I charged from 7% to 100% in just over one hour no problem there.
I have the orange gradient design and only feel it getting warm during charging.
