So I was wondering what temps you guys are seeing when your phone overheats.
My phone reboots when it hits 37 C, which seems awful low. Anyone else seeing such low reboot temps?

Mine doesn't reboot that low, the highest I have seen it go was like 43.7 or something
I've never had my phone reboot due to overheating even at 42°C. Running CM6.01

Hmm, this is getting frustrating. I've begun to reboot at around 37 C. Is there any way to change that number? Anything to reset?
Is that CPU or battery temperature? If battery then the CPU would be much hotter.

Battery... but it's weird. The battery temperature gets to 37 C, and then reboot. When I very distinctly remember it before going 45+ C without a problem.
And now I'm bootlooping. Seems to start up, and is still too hot, then reboots again. Anyone have this happen to them? Lower temp reboots?
Sounds like you may have permanently damaged your device, if your battery temp were 40+ degree celsius your CPU temp would be a sustained 15+ degrees hotter. Running your device this hot often certainly could damage it over time.

Try a standard or increasing voltage kernel if possible.

No no, my battery isn't that hot for long amounts of time, just, like when I'm surfing for a long time or something. Trying an undervolted kernel now.
Do you have a backup battery that you can try - see if you get the same results? Batteries do occassionally stop working properly.
My phone would reboot when using GPS in the car if it was on the dashboard or mounted - I checked the temperature when it booted and didn't get stuck in a boot loop and it was around 45c.....
I returned the phone to stock and brought it back to vzw, they gave me a new battery, phone still runs somewhat hot even stock.

But mine is rebooting at 37-38 C. Which is awfully low. I'm RUU'd, S-oned, and factory-resetted and STILL it happens. So it's a hardware problem.
Gonna take it into a Verizon store and demand a replacement on the spot x]
I can advisr from personal experience on your symptoms that you have one choice ... Return to verizon for a refurb. This is what happens when you have an early incredible with a faulty hardware radio. It gets to the point where it starts trying to compensate and super heats. You must return.
Every other suggestion would be a mask to an existing well known hardware problem.
I once left my phone in a black bag on a hot summer day. It went up to 50 C with no problems. It didn't reboot or anything.
I have one of the original Incredible's from launch day, it is usually around 43-45. Sometimes it gets warmer than that playing games. Never actually had any problems. The hottest it ever gets is on Z rom's. Those things have gotten it to 50 .
I'm on CM7 W/Slayher's 2.6.37 kernel, and it's at 42 just on the home screen. Mind you this is all on stock speeds. My phone doesn't like to overclock. Regardless of kernel. It can go to 1.113 sometimes, but any more = reboot.
On the HTC Incredible site, there is a FAQ which states the maximum recommended operating temp is ~60C.
I'm relatively sure there is no problem with the battery or the CPU doing up to ~90 for awhile because that's a fairly common temp for CPUs and Batteries to withstand. I'm sure that like most batteries , at >~50C it is less efficient, but I doubt the CPU is presented with any problems in that range.
Phones present a unique set of high-temp problems. Cooling sucks in those little enclosed boxes, and manufacturers definitely don't want your hand or ear burned, and are terrified of having a battery burn up in your hand or pocket, so that is probably why 60 is said to be max. I don't like picking up my phone when it's at all hot (~40C or more) but while experimenting with my own kernels and voltages and overclocking, I've had it reboot somewhere around 60C. Was it the temp, or was it overclocked too far? I have no idea, but I lowered both and stopped taking stupid chances with it.
This thing of rebooting at 37C seems nuts, inappropriate, and most likely a defective part, or one of the many services or apps that perhaps does the wrong thing (accesses verbotten memory, bad ptr, etc..)
A bad example for sure, but at work, many of our HP or Dell Racked servers (DL380's etc), are too hot to touch while running. They have enough fans to power a 747, and it just makes it pretty clear that in some cases, processors and other components can run at amazing temps.

The temperature of my 1x gets extremely high sometimes, especially when I play games, what is the highest possible safe temperature and at which temperatures is it risky to keep playing? Also, will this be fixed?

Yes.
It might be only placebo effect, but browsing with Dolphin Browser HD heated less One X than stock browser. It might have been only a coincidence and I haven't tested enough to reach conclusions. Yet, other users might confirm or infirm this impression.
This can’t be the normally operating temperature range. When my battery temp gets to 55 Deg C it reports the battery state as “overheat”. This can’t be good...
Ever since I used a custom rom my phone doesn't get any where near as hot, must be something with stock.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I played Riptide GP for a while and topped at ~38 Degrees. Even a 40 Minute Google Maps Navigation with attached Car Charger topped @ around 36-37 Degrees. Perfectly fine for me, tho other Games (or Demos) like Glowball which REALLY stress the GPU and CPU due to its graphics demo category heat up the phone to like 43 Degrees.
Other than that, I dont have any problems. I only start up Glowball for a couple of seconds to show off graphics power, not to do anything scientific in there.
EDIT: And what should I say. My standby time is around 26 Degrees when not in my pocket. In my pocket it goes up to 31-32 degrees, but thats normal since the casing kind of absorbs the heat of your body at some point.
When I surf the web for like 30 Minutes, my device never gets hotter than 34-35 degrees, even in comfy warm surroundings (like my flat).
The heat discribed in that article seems a little intense... Maybe there is a faulty batch with heat issues? The One X sure gets warm, but so did my old Galaxy S2 and on top of all, the old Motorola Milestone which became a rough ear heater when doing calls for more than 40 Minutes.
I had a 60 Minute call with my bro 2 days ago, and my One X just got up to 29 degrees... Dunno whats going on there. I always have temperature sensor apps running the first few weeks after I bought a new device.
>>>>“If the phone is in normal use without playing games or calling for long time, the temperature should be around 37°C or 38°C. But if you use your phone to play games or surfing internet for a long time, it will be normal that the temperature rises to around 55°C.“, official statement from HTC. <<<<
This is the one major gripe I have about the One X. It should not heat up to 50C no matter what. It may be "normal" for the One X, but it's not normal or good in general. I hope the next firmware update addresses this. I've gone through god knows how many phones and the heating issue is by far the worst with this phone. Some surfing and apps running for about 10 minutes should not warrant a jump to 40+ degrees in my opinion...
This summer, I bought this phone but sold it after a week because it had a ton of problems, including overheating. Today, I bought the phone again, because I wanted to give it another chance. Right now, in the middle of winter with less than 20C in my room, I was playing Temple Run when I started noticing the phone was getting warmer. I thought "well, this is normal, I have been playing a 3D game for about 20 minutes, I bet it hasn't overheated like it happened this summer, that one was probably defective too, it's just getting a bit warm, that's all", but guess what? I quitted temple run, ran a Quadrant session, and yeah, it had overheated and reduced its performance like it happened last time. Halved performance due to overheating, exactly like it happened this summer, 3000 points instead of the usual 6000+ it gets.
I. CAN'T. BELIEVE. IT.
I guess it's my fault though, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
This phone is such a piece of crap it gave me the most buyer's remorse I've ever had.
6000 points on Quadrant? The max I got was around 3400...
Anyway, I think it is normal to a device to overheat and lose performance when it gets hotter. Same for too cold (under 0ºC). The colder, the better the performance. That's why all eletronics should be kept cool.
I could have excused it for overheating during summer with 35C room temperature, but with less than 20C and after just less than one hour?
How is this acceptable? Seriously, what is wrong with this phone?
I am raging uncontrollably right now. I can't believe I was so stupid to get this turdphone TWICE before realizing it was indeed a massive stinking turd.
And yeah, it's not 6000 points but 3500, when it overheats it gets much less, and I notice it's happening even before the score gets displayed, because usually the planet thingy runs at 60FPS but when it's overheated it runs at around 40.
GOD DAMN.
Oh and by the way, if it overheats during gameplay, it also overheats during web browsing or EVERYTHING really. And EVERY SINGLE XPERIA S IN EXISTENCE has this problem. Yours too.
You better not use it too much, or it might overheat and start running slower than a X10. What, you bought your phone to use it? LOLZ.
/sarcasm
definitely rom/kernel problem.. what's rom u use? have u update it to latest .55? u unlock the bootloader? u just b*tching without give any details.
the colder the hardware is not the better the performance, there's something called operating temp. usually u cant use the hardware if it's not in its operating temp (like PC processer, it cant boot when 0 degree Celsius, but booting fine at 30 degrees or -27 (subzero) degrees). if u get lower performance, usually it's because the driver/applications that order the processor to lower itself.
when i was using custom stock rom, i've played Nova 3 with my friends (wifi) for around 45 minutes, and it hasnt got lags, sure the phone was very hot, but the performance wasnt drop. now im using cm10, still got no lags when playing games (Trial Xtreme 3 is very fun & challenging and surely a phone heater, ive spent bout 2 hours playing, got low battery, charging it (thx for the fast charging) for 1 hour and half, then playing it again.. still got no lags )
so, surely the problems is in the rom.. since ur in xda, try fix it urself... if u wont, just f*kin' sell it
About overheat on my phone, yeah it does sometimes. During summer it can get up to 40C (the ambient, not phone), the phone overheats while using for browsing, but I think it's normal.
It gets hot when playing NFS:MW, the performance drops but I just have to leave there for 30 min and its good again.
The phone generally gets up to 43 C when playing...

Dude. I'm playing it in my room, with 17C room temperature. After less than one hour of that crappy game Temple Run, the phone got hot, and out of nowhere I decided to test if it had clocked down like it happened during the summer, and it did. I'm fully stock, locked bootloader, stock rom with only some bloatware removed. As soon as your phone gets hot, try to run quadrant and you will see your performance will have reduced. I think you can also see your CPU speed has gone down to 800Mhz.
And by the way, like I said before, I'm on my second XPS, and the first one also overheated, so I guess they all do that. I think you may have noticed the phone becoming laggy after some heavy usage sessions.
Anyway, I am not sure if every phone somehow clocks itself down when it gets hot and then starts running like crap until it cools down again, but on all the phones I've used in my life, this is the only one that does it and after such a short period of heavy usage. It's just ridiculous, there should be class actions up sony's ass for this, but it seems like I'm the only one who realized this happens and literally cripples the phone's performance until you stop using it, basically.

The point is, the phone SHOULD NOT overheat and clock itself down to half the speed after just a few minutes of gameplay. This is ridiculous.

It overheats, and it should, because you're running a 3D game. Again, it clocks down to avoid bigger overheat and damage. My phone performance keeps the same after 1 hour of playing NFS:MW. It just need a few minutes to start the processes again, since the game use it all.

God help you it you bought a S3, but seriously time of year is not gonna change a overheating issue and 35-40 is the ideal temp for optimal performance

thats not permanent, its the app staying in cahced processes just in case it needs relaunching. try ending the process and try benchmarking again
you find removing it from the ram as a process may help
i just ran quadrant on mine
its warm cause im playing music and have tons of crap open. it hasnt slowed down. and its score was 2937. i dont see the issue though? the number means nothing on its own. its a potential comaprison tool

Pffft. Do you even know what you are talking about? It SHOULD NOT overheat, only heat up a bit. Playing a game or doing anything CPU intensive should not OVERHEAT the phone, only heat it up a bit. There is a difference between heating up and OVERheating. Overheating means there is something wrong with the cooling solution, and should not happen unless the cooling system or the chip itself (this case, since a cellphone doesn't have a cooling system) is faulty.

You also have trouble reading and understanding basic english. If I play a game, then quit out of it, and then run quadrant and I get half the score, there is something wrong, that being the CPU clocking itself down to 800Mhz (instead of 1500) because of overheating. OVER HEATING, not simply heating up. Over heating is NOT normal. If I only had too much stuff open, the CPU wouldn't have clocked itself down to 800Mhz, it would have ran at 1500 but with reduced performance in quadrant because of high memory and CPU workload in background stuff.
Anyway, I'm done with you guys. Educate yourselves on how processors, operating systems and electronic devices work then come back.

It's 45 nm, dual core and 1.5 gHz. ofc it got hot. But not overheating. When the hardware is overheating, it'll turn off, u should know that.. I said again, it's the rom/kernel that asked the procie to lower itself when in some temp. mine? I never have this problem since in cm10. Read my posts again. And surely I benchmarked over and over again (antutu) and the scores are vary, but not very much (I even got Max scored at my fifth try, the phone was hot though, but it was alright)
And if u search about xperia s overheating, there are some talks (even here in xda) bout performance hits, etc.. but it was way back there... I thought ppl already learn how to handle this... well, I thought wrong.
Ang if u thought the phone is hot, try playing with HTC one x...

i said remove it as a cahed process then run it again.
also why run a benchmark. its a hypothtical scoring number
Well I just got mine today... Its FA44EWM... and its a fireball just like my M7. GSAM was reporting 109F when it was setting up initially. Couldn't even hold the thing.
Reviews said that it doesn't get hot at all so I don't know what's up with it. I'll use it for a few days and report back. Anyone else having temperature issues? I'm afraid its going to fry the camera like the M7 :\
I noticed my m8 got pretty hot when streaming video through the my dji quadcopter app. In normal use it does not seem to have any issues. The aluminum body is supposed to be a great heat sink.
I guess I'll just have to watch it then. I knew it was too good to be true asking for a Qualcomm SoC that doesn't have heat issues... At least its not the Sensation I guess.
I just ran a stability test with Antutu... Its actually not that bad although if it was on the charger, it would be problematic. Topped out at 108F/42C, started at 86F/30C
Other than that, everything is perfect on this phone. Not a single build quality imperfection, great LCD, surprisingly nice camera, and better signal than the M7 had. I don't regret it at all, the heat is just disappointing. My UAG Maverick will be here on Wednesday along with my 32GB microSDHC UHS-I card I got from Amazon for 25 bucks.
.
Mines has no heat issues. Only heats up during intense gaming, benchmarking, and for some reason it heats up when the battery dips below 20% but only to a warm touch except for gaming it heats up tremendously. Even with my screen brightness all the way up it doesn't heat up ridiculously. Overall it's fantastic.. give it a few days or send it back for a replacement.

Same here, I haven't had any heating issues, phone is always cool to the touch.
How odd... it appears to be settling in or something. I just did a run with Brave Frontier (a game which is a great way to overheat your phone) with it plugged into the charger and its at 102F. The One would be at 113F by now and no longer charging as a result. I think I'll watch it for a bit. I seem to remember that my M7 actually hit 119 when I first got it and then settled down to a normal max of 110 with it rarely hitting 113 on the charger.
If Brave Frontier didn't overheat it, nothing will. Brave Frontier actually has a dedicated question in their FAQ for LG G2s overheating and its overheated my Nexus 7 before and crashed more than once as a result so this is actually kind of impressive. I'll report back as I use the device.

I've seen 11x degrees while charging, streaming google play music, using the GPS, and running ingress all with the phone mounted on a sunny dashboard. My device is my car infotainment system so it gets used heavily in the car. It doesn't always get that warm but definitely warm to the touch. Eliminate a few of those things and it will cool down but I would still call it warm when playing a game. Unless someone tells you exactly what they're doing with the device you should take temperature reports with a grain of salt. There are a lot of variables and unless you make them the same you can't compare two different usage patterns. I'm guessing it would stay cooler if you kept the CPU and GPU underclocked but if you run them at their specified clock speeds the device will heat up. Simply checking e-mail or web browsing will keep my device cool to the touch as well.
I've only used my phone for light stuff like browsing Twitter, Reddit, etc., but doing so causes my phone to noticeably warm up as if doing some heavy duty stuff, especially if on max brightness. It heats up faster/easier than my Nexus 5. Anybody else noticing this? I think I'm gonna go to T-mobile tomorrow and tell them, but I wanna make sure that I'm not tripping.
Mine got quite hot when I was downloading a lot of apps in a row. It gets warm on normal browsing but not hot.
Same here, updating apps from the play store, video watching etc. Wil cause the back side, at the middle section to heat up.

I've been having that issue also. Haven't really figured out. Just know when that happens, battery drains fast.. think it's an app eating up battery creating heat but haven't figured out which one...
I am having the exact same issue. I'm thinking about switching my phone through T-Mobile and going with the M9 because I'm not hearing of this issue at all on the M9.
Yea. I'm definitely getting lots of heat on my S6 Edge as well, especially while running multiple apps while updating Google play apps.
yes I am also facing those heating issues..
I was first told that all phones get hot if you use them while charging but then it has happened thrice now even when I am not charging it.
The heat is pretty bad right at the end of your right thumb..
Had my S6 Edge a week and I'm surprised I haven't had any heat. I use the web a lot but I haven't played games on it yet.
Mine also
Mine is also getting hot with normal usage... I think I should move to SC
Yep. I also have the s6 Edge, and the heat was pretty much unbearable. I was within my 14 day return, so I have the HTC M9 on the way. It was reported HTC fixed most of the over heating issues with the M9 before launch. I will see. This phone will more than likely be returned to T-Mobile if Samsung doesn't come out with a fix soon. I could see this becoming a huge issue after launch since this phone is made out of glass and metal.
I had the Xperia Z1s which had a glass front and back and the HTC M7 and M8 and they all felt hot after using them for a while, once you put a case on them it gets less noticeable. I just assumed it would be the exact same since the S6 uses both glass and aluminum. But yes it does get hot after a while lol.
warming up
guy's i have same issue like u
but , i disable some bloatware useless apps , and warming is better now ,test it and let other knows.
test more ,and make this better
Mine only gets hot if I'm charging while doing a lot of stuff on the phone. After the OTA I did a factory reset and it seemed to fix the "always hot" issue.
Heating up is a good thing. It means you have a good thermal path from the internals to the external metal chassis. If the device stayed cool to the touch while working it would mean the internals would be at much higher temperatures and throttling would kick in to prevent breaching SOA.
That said, it should not get so hot that you cannot hold it, like a hot potato!
firmware?

I have a 64gb G6E running OCG.
Well i had an S6 for some days and then got the M9
I can easily say that the M9 is the same as the S6 if not cooler. It has already been proven that the S6's CPU reaches much higher temperatures than the M9 under a medium load
By the help of CPU-Z, it was detected that the S6 CPU reaches a whoping 66℃ if you just open the camera and take a pic
While in the M9, after a half an hour of Mortal Combat X, it reached 59℃
Mind you that these temperatures are CPU TEMPs not Battery/skin temps
S6 internal design is credited to be honest for putting the CPU away from the battery by a nice distance, so the battery doesn't heat up! When the CPU was 66℃ the battery was 31℃ !!!
But in the M9, the CPU is covering the battery, so when the CPU heats up, the battery heats up also. In the case when the CPU was 59℃ the battery was 45-44℃ which is considered to be warmer than the S6's 31℃
However the M9's metal casing helps in heat dissipation a LOT!! just leave the phone for a minute or two, and the phone will cool down very fast. It can cool down all over to 36℃ from 44℃ in three minutes!! Which means that throttling effect will be removed and you can enjoy your device's full potential again in the S6, if the phone heats up badly, the temperature is preserved as the glass is a bad thermal conductor. Also the phone might be very hot to touch in the upper right quadrant of the device in thr CPU side, while the M9 will feel warm all over the device.
So conclusion, the S6's 14 nm SoC heats up more than the M9's 20 nm SoC, but the skin temperature of the M9 is higher than the S6's but it is not annoying, and cools down very fast! If the S6 feels cooler, it is because the CPU is positioned far from the battery, not because it is built on a 14 nm process :laugh:
