Too hot to handle?

[matt2783]

I am still wondering, is this acceptable? I mean, for me to use this phone for it's purpose, and in that it is ruining my phone/battery. To me, that just doesn't make much sense.

I think it's completely unacceptable. I've had my Droid 1 for 17 months and never had any problems like that. I use navigation a lot too. I would guess that there is something defective with you're phone.

You've had the problem on and off the dock, right?

I think I will do a factory reset, and try it running stock without anything added to the phone.

I don't know. I live in Louisiana and I've run the navigator with the top down for about an hour and a half and have had no problems. I would agree with turning down the brightness and checking for something else running in the backround.

I've been having this problem where it starts discharging even when plugged in during extended navigation. I'm about to go on a 3 hour road trip. I use a vent mount. My current plan is to take off the battery cover, and also implement a profile in d2 overclock where the frequency drops once the temperature goes above 50C (although I believe this is the CPU temperature and not the battery temp, someone confirm?) I also typically use pandora or another audio app while driving. I will report back on my findings!

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold, call the ghostbusters and they're in control!

It's the battery temp. That's the only temp sensor in the phone.

During my drive today, I found one solution to the problem to be to just downclock the phone while it is in the charger (my clocks are 300 Mhz/15 vsel, 723 Mhz/36, 994 Mhz/50, and 1265 Mhz/65, I found setting the frequency b/w the 300 Mhz and 723 Mhz while being charged/using navigation/pandora prevented the discharge problem, also I'm using the smartass governor but idk if that makes a difference). Having the battery cover off had no noticeable effect. Causing it to downclock only after reaching 50C/122F also didn't help b/c the phone still got too hot (maybe making the temperature threshold lower would do the trick, I noticed that discharge problems occurred after going over 43C/110F on my hardware, it seems to take a while to cool off even if you downclock after a temperature trigger so the best bet seems to keep it at low frequencies/temps). Anyway even at those relatively low clocks navigation/pandora (running simultaneously) did not lag (I remember my Droid 1 stock max clock was 600Mhz so that makes sense). Hopefully there is a solution for those who are not rooted (water cooling should work ) :icon_ banana:
