today was my 1st day having the droid X, so i had ALOT of customizing to do... anyways i was playing around with it for maybe 40 min tops nonstop and the battery got to 111.3

Mine hit 131 charging in my bedroom and searching for 3g/service this morning. Obviously it stopped charging a while ago because of the temp. Its only at 15% after 3 hours on the charger

I know this is an old topic but I really didn't want to start a new one. Today I had my DX on the motorcycle here in FL. I was testing out the nav turn by turn directions through by blue tooth ear buds. Once at my destination the DX was hot to the touch. I don't have a case on my DX yet. I was thinking some cases would heat up the phone more then others. Leather would vent the heat better then plastic? I ordered a cheap leather case from ebay until the seidio cases come out. Now I am wondering if the seidio cases will hold the heat in.

I had mine in the car dock navigating today. When I got done I notice the battery was 127.2 degrees. I'm going to start watching it when its over 100 degrees outside and in the sun.

I have definitely had my battery go over 100...I live in AZ and work some times out in this god damn heat.

My battery just hit 113. I wasnt doing anything but lying down looking at wallpapers haha. My hand was burning and even my finger was getting hot by touching the screen.

I'm not joking, but 1 time in May I was running maps and it was blazing hot out and theres no ac in my work truck...it hit 155! I turned it off, before it did any damage. kinda scary.

yeah maps/navigation really does a number on the battery. thats why root is so important. with the use of apps like SetCPU you can set profiles to scale the processor back when the phone gets too hot.

Yes! After the first 3 days I was disappointed in the battery life. I called VZ and they sent a new battery, which I used for the first time today. Of course you must send your old battery back or you will be charged.

Is the new battery better?

100 degrees Farenheit is nothing to worry about. My phone heats up to that while charging.

Scanning one of the threads someone linked, max temp on the droid 1 was something like 105*C, which is damn high.

100*F = 38*C
100*C = 212*F

Processors are hot little things, and the inside of your phone regularly being 30-40 degrees hotter than ambient temperature isn't too far of a stretch right? So, unless your backplate is literally too hot to handle I wouldn't worry.

edit: mine is sitting unplugged at 89*F and I haven't touched it since last night.

Mine hit 127*F, I was using Navigation only and not in a Cardock on battery... I immediately held it in front of the AC vent to cool it down....

 

[jamesk84]

I had mine on the car mount and GPS running the temp was at 126.7 or 127.6 I forget what one but either way it was hot.

If you take your battery out, you can see on the side where it says it is rated for 140F/60C.

Personally, I wouldn't let it get that hot, but 120 seems plausible if doing navigation and streaming, or playing a game.
