phone gets hot

[beast-61]

Hi everyone just an enquiry, my xperia z gets really hot when using Google maps especially when using the sat navigation, used it recently to find my new place of work and was only on the satnav function for half an hour, got a phone call and couldn't hold it against my ear it was so hot that can't be right..... Many thanks.... Darren

Maps are huge battery killers unfortunately, if you also keep location on all the time it is even worse.

So I gather it's normal for this to happen, it got extremely hot..Many thanks for your reply alexdon.

I have experienced this several times when using maps continuously (google maps).

What firmware are u running I'm still on 4.4.4 are u on lollipop yet does that make a difference?

I have Z1,not Z,but I think lollipop will have the same outcome. You can also search around the forum for other ideas or wait to get other.

Ok bud cheers for your help.. Am very happy with the phone other than that it's new got it replaced cos my xperia t kept turning itself off and Sony couldn't resolve it so they sent me this tis a cool enough phone... What's the z1 like much of an improvement over the z?

I think it is better in terms of camera,processor,RAM,battery backup. But Z was the first of this awesome generation.

Have my eye on the z2 next fits well in my hand and like the dimensions better looking too prefer it to the z3.

Nice choice, have you looked at Z3 compact?
