How hot does your phone get? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

While being used it goes to 93 degrees. While pluged in 102 degrees without use and 113 with use. Is this normal? Just checking
Im on stock by the way.

I don't know, but, I am wondering how long most people can go with their screen brightness pegged before it turns it down to 'keep it from over heating', cuz honestly that's the only thing that I cannot stand about this phone.....it happens after only like a few minutes....it's infuriating. Do I have a bad phone?
So far as temp goes I'll keep an eye on it and report back...now you got me wondering.

That's about the same as mine so i would say normal. I didn't notice my screen dimming.

i manged to heat mine to the point where it stopped charging less than 3hrs after buying the phone... luckily my car has a bada$$ A/C so i just hung the phone on the rear-view mirror, using 3.5mm headphone aux cable i use for in-car audio, placing the device right in front of the a/c vent. went from scorching hot to ice cold in under 60 seconds

The hottest I've seen was 104-107 fahrenheit today (this is the second day i've had this phone) and that was when I was outside surfing on 3G while listening to music. I live in Texas btw..so the heat is legit. But when inside and just dickin around doing the same sht, it never hits 100 degrees. At the most it's 95-98.

Where are you finding the hotness number??

I just watched some what the flick youtube reviews for about an hour total, in full screen, at max brightness - trying to drain the battery for better calibration.
The battery temperature was stuck at 31C. Neither the back nor the front of the phone even felt warm.

hottest mine has gotten was 44C

I'm using Battery Indicator from the market (free version)
on standby, my phone is about 26C
light web browsing/texting its around 31C
when charging for an hour, it can get up to 40C
the highest i've seen it was around 46C when I was playing games, then took a call for 20 mins right after.

In all fairness, the cpu was not being loaded that much - maybe only 25%. Most of the video decoding seems to be done in gpu hardware.
I'm sure it would be much warmer if I was playing a 3d game.

The hottest my phone has ever gotten is 118°F and that is out in the sun using maverick pro gps. Normal usage ranges 98° to 105°

My phone got ridiculously hot last night. So much it stopped charging. Only difference from the last week is I put a new TC cover on the back yesterday.
Its still hot at 107f, but at least its charging now.

i wished everyone would have clarified if they were rooted and which kernal...it might help tie down the problem.
i only noticed crazy overheating on V3.. none so far while using the stock kernal while rooted.

I managed to get mine up to 57C a couple of days ago. Running Copilot while on car charger on car dashboard on a hot sunny day. Didn't realise until I took it off dashboard and it was too hot to comfortably hold. Scary, but it survived fine. I shall be a bit more careful in future - don't really like the idea of it getting quite that hot.
Does anyone get yellow spots when it gets that hot?

Yes, I used to have a yellow spot on top of the screen when using the phone normally, but is now only really noticable when it gets hot.
Mine got to 50C today while playing Riptide GP.
Normally it gets to about 48C but I put the game on the highest resolution in the settings menu and it went to over 50C :-o
This is with the newest firmware 1.29.401.11.
Does anyone else experience this?

I think there's also the issue of ambient temperature. Right now in my office the temperature of my phone charging is 27ºC. I presume it's because my office stores dead bodies and so we don't get sick from the smell they leave the thermostat set to 'arctic'. At home where we haven't turned the AC on yet (and the inside temp hovers around 80ºF) my phone gets to 50ºC just web browsing.

I have had exactly the same happen to me with Copilot on a sunny day! Had to shut the phone down and position it by a aircon vent in the car. Don't know how hot it got, but too hot to handle comfortably.
I wonder if Copilot is the culprit here? Anyone had the same with Navigon, etc?

I suspect that any navigation app is going to hammer the phone. There's an awful lot of processing going on. Plus the screen will be on full brightness in the car which doesn't help much.

I am using Navigon.Everything was normal on a sunny shining day(30C too) but i missed the charging cable it was running on battery so its not quite a good comparison but its a guide i think. No overheating no yellow spots nothing at all

Aren't dead bodies supposed to be stored in mortuarys... Though theres a few in our office that could pass for dead sometimes.

I see there's an update to Copilot today that "fully supports the One X". It'll be interesting to see if it helps with the temperature problem.

Weird heat while charging

Hi,
i've been using the GNEX for almost 3 months, it had been rooted and used the AOKP ROM since i have bought my phone. And just last night, while i charge my phone as usual when i got home then i went to a bath, then when i came out and pick up the phone, the back left hand corner is producing a lot of heat!! then i unplug the usb cable immediately and turn off my phone, after around 3 mins, till the phone had cooled down and i thought it was just the cable's problem, so i switch the Nexus S' usb cable instead of the GNEX original one, and it happens again in just 3mins!! so i switched the battery again which both of them are original ones, charge it with my phone on. and it just happens again!!! so i switched off my phone and charge it, and it just charge normally without generating weird heat...! strange!! so do anyone know what's going on with my phone?? should i unroot it and take it back to samsung? please, needed help!! THX!!

weird heat... that doesnt say much since the way you described it might be weird for someone and normal for someone else. whats the battery temperature? whats the cpu temperature?
You've had your phone for nearly 3 months and this is the first time it's getting hot? LOL anyway sounds like something is using the cpu...

this is with the screen off???
It almost sounds like a rouge app or something is keeping your phone on at all times almost like Google maps how it gets hot using that. How is the battery life?
Battery life has been pretty good so far tbh. I think I know the rouge process though. My university uses1 a dynamic ip address system for wifi, and when I'm using their wifi I have almost 85% awake time because the wifi has to constantly regain an ip. I think that may be it bit I haven't had the phone enough at another location to test...

oh yea wow, I'd either set the wifi to turn off during sleep (my personal choice) or turn if off when not needed, but I guess that would only be necessary if your battery sucked, which you say it doesn't. hope find the issue.
Well, it sucks compared to some of the times I see others posting, but it gets me through the day without a recharge normally. It helps that I set up a virtual router in my dorm room (we're not allowed real routers). When on that network, I lose almost no battery life with the screen off because the ip is static

built in but i have no idea because it warns me randomly - sometimes at 75 degrees, other times at 90...
It's weird
alright im resurrecting this really quick. Can someone else with a battery monitoring app (I use gsam battery monitor) tell me what the temp of their battery is while they arent heavily using it? to get there in the app, swipe the battery on the top of the page when you open it.
I'm idling at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, which isnt bad I don't think but since I've gotten warnings right around there I figured I'd ask what someone else's phone looks like
I use battery monitor widget pro. At idle its usually close to room temp. That's in an HTC double flip case inside a leather pouch (paranoid). Highest I hit under load is 104f. Nothing like my rezound. If you uninstall your current battery app and use the free version of battery monitor widget and enable "monitor without widget" you will end up with a log where you can see what your phone has been up to.

Currently while my phone has been sitting on my desk overnight idling, the CPU-Z app on my phone is reporting my battery at 31.5 degrees C which is 88.7 F and I have never gotten a battery temp warning.
I use Fahrenheit too. Why should temp always be measured in Celsius?

I mean I can convert it no problem so it's not a huge deal. But what I've basically come up with is that one of my battery apps is giving off hot battery warnings at random, and they're not that big of a deal.

I was coming to ask exactly the same question. Mine wasn't even hot when I picked it up! Nor was the sun shining directly on it or in a hot or humid environment. My battery life is normal though.

Heat issue

Hey guys just got my G4 but i feel the phone easily get hot just on light usage like browsing the web for 5-10 minutes. Or just watching HD video for 5 minutes... Is that my device defect or what? Anyway mine was dual sim one thanks
Mine doesn't heat up on usage. The only he warmed was on extreme heavy usage using camera with tons of stuff on, or using it as gps.
Yeah this is actually probably the coolest fun I've used. I could have cooked eggs a few times with you note 4

My G2 used to heat up.. The G4, not so much. It's warm, but never hot to the touch like the G2.
Ok thats weird because mine heated up alot anyway if the phone has auto on feature? Because i just realized when i unplug the cord the phone booting itself
Maybe try a different player? Something is not right. My H815 runs cool.
Mine one also have heating issue. Yah it doesn't become untouchable but the main problem is I do not feel the heat on the back, I feel it in front, so it gets uncomfortable while talking outside in the hot summer days like these here.
too much heating on the lg g4
hi,
my lg g4 is heating up like crazy, specially on the front side which makes it really difficult to talk. also when the phone is in my pocket for over 3 0 minutes untouched i still feel the heat on my thigh and battery drops by 15-20%..... anyone with any solution to this?
Comparing between our Note4, G2s and G4s ... the new G4s generate more heat (warm) ... I can barely feel the heat on our G2s & the note4 is cool.
I don't play games at all. I think the G4s get better over time (it was much warmer the 1st day vs. the 2nd ...)

I charged mine overnight and it was not warm/hot.
I didn't use the included charger. In my bedroom I have an old charger that is not a quick charger, so maybe that was the difference.
I left mine charging overnight with the charger it came with and it was fine.

That was just the battery temp. The outer shell was barely able to be handled. It was like touching a pot shortly after cooking. It quickly cooled down after unplugging it.

It probably wasn't the battery but the phone was on and an app was cranking up the CPU constantly making the device hot (which would have also raised the battery temperature), and as it was plugged in to mains the phone never went to sleep and the app just keep the CPU ramped all night long. It doesn't take much constant polling of the CPU to cause the temperature to raise when that goes on for hours.

I reached over to check my phone a bit ago and quickly recoiled my hand as my device was crazy hot. Anyone else had anything like this right off the bat?
That's almost 120 degrees... Device has been at 100% for approximately 5 hrs.

Have you got the app list of what was running while it was on charge ? Had mine in my quick charger 3.0 unit and no heat and it was in a silicone case, have you tried another charger ?
Just curious, how much does/if the processor throttles when hot?
