Re: Overheating MX4 - cases for phone safe or not?

 

Hi Krzysztof,

According to Meizu, they do have this hardware design to turn off
the device when battery temperature over 60 Celsius for the
protection.

And about the bug #1469369. It was updated with comments about the
fixes which was landed. Please feel free to comment in the bug for
the issue you have. We may need separate bugs to track different use
cases such as using youtube.

BR.

Dear Marco,
there is one bug

It's critical, it's new, it's for a long time now and no milestone.
I think that Community or Canonical has strange policy about labeling bugs.

    Hi Krzysztof,

    this problem affect me too.
    My Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition (with Arale r4 installed) have
    overheating when I use it for 10 or 15 minute in YouTube or
    similar websites.
    The same thing happen when I'm on a call for 10 minutes or more.
    The phone burning at the top.

    I see that the top of the phone it's more subjected to overheat,
    because in this part there's CPU and GPU and both use the
    aluminium frame as a dissipator (you can see it in YouTube, in a
    video that show you how to disassembling the phone).
    Right now i'm using a plastic (transparent) back cover that permit
    the dissipation at the top and bottom of the phone.

    I don't know in case of high temperature whats happen, I think
    there is an automatic shutdown, like a pc.

    You have opened a bug for this overheat problem?


    Best regards,

    Marco Graziotti

    But I'm concerned about overheating MX4 - in case heat radiation
    is limited. When phone reach really high temperature that can
    damage it, does phone automatically turn off? (like in many
    laptops - if temperature reach some high, risky value, they turn
    off immediately)
