Should my CPU get this hot? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Today I was watching the barcelona vs chelsea game on my phone and it rebooted. I picked up the phone and it felt pretty warm so I checked the CPU temp in glados kernel and it was at 64c with the "safe limit temp" being set to 61c. I was watching the game on a website that had an embedded flash player, so I had to pinch to zoom it to make the video bigger. In doing that, the video became choppy at times but seemed OK to watch until it restarted itself from I guess overheating. I started watching it again but this time not pinching to zoom the video and it hardly had any choppyness at all and did not reboot itself (so I'm assuming it didnt overheat). Could the whole embedded player thing + pinching to zoom be the culprit of my overheating? or is it my kernel/rom to blame? I haven't done any OC unless its by default in the kernel.
ROM: eclipse 1.1
Kernel: Glados 1.29RC

Active cooling will help a lot. Passive cooling too. Undervolt in this situation would help a little bit.

Not to sound rude but I was asking if what happened to me is normal and if it isn't, could using an embedded flash player + pinch to zoom be the reason to blame? If not, then does that mean its the kernel and or rom?
I don't think I should have to undervolt if I'm running on stock volts/not OC'd.

Well not to sound smart ass but I got right to the solution. Changing roms and kernels will not make a big difference and I am sure you would rather watch bigger mode than squinting. When I do intensive stuff I take my tpu off. And if I'm by my laptop, I might put it on/near my USB laptop cooler. But if you must, change roms and kernels til your content. Or take your battery door off to ventilate and flap your phone real fast like you mean it.

k ill re ask the question. did my phone overheat because of the "choppyness" of the embedded + zoomed flash player? Or did it happen because thats what you call "intensive stuff"? And would watching NETFLIX for an hour or so be considered "intensive stuff" and cause my phone to overheat and shut off as well? Or do you think the choppyness had a bigger role in the overheating.

I'm pretty sure @rbiter is semi-trolling.. at least I hope so, lol.
OP, it's never normal for your phone to get too hot and reboot under any circumstance. I would definitely try changing kernels. The ROM doesn't control the CPU clock speed and voltages, so that's what's going to make the difference. I'm also assuming you're not using the phone in direct sunlight or in an area where the ambient temperature isn't too hot.

Try it out, check temps while watching normal and check temps while watching zoomed. Then you got your answer.

Alright so you don't think the choppyness of the video had anything to do with making it overheat? because as I said before, when I left the video at default size it had no chopping at all and it did not overheat/reboot. But I'll def try changing kernels, thanks for your help man.

I would be more worried about battery getting hot than anything. That: s why I am telling you all that. Changing kernels isn't going to make your phone drastically cooler when doing all that stuff. I also do that to help longevity of phone aaaaand battery. Keep doing stuff like that just to mitigate shutdowns you're still going to come back and make a new thread about battery life being crappy and only having phone 4 months or something but not telling us you've been baking fresh batteries watching Netflix and my little pony episodes.

bleh..pretty ****ing sad that watching netflix would "bake my battery". Oh well...

There's not much you can do about your battery getting warm though. It's completely normal for the battery to get warm when you're doing anything CPU/GPU intensive (watching HD video or playing 3D games). It would get warm whether you're stock or rooted with a custom LV kernel, though undervolting it would slightly lower the CPU temperature but at the potential cost of stability should he do something that utilizes 100% of the CPU putting it under maximum load. In either scenario, the phone is going to be discharging that battery relatively fast causing it to warm up (as any lithium-ion battery does in any device that's drawing 90%+ its current capacity).
The battery should last at least a year regardless of how he uses the phone before it starts to noticeably lose capacity too. I wouldn't advise anyone to not fully utilize their device just to extend the battery lifespan. Extended OEM batteries are only $25 right now. By the time it dies, it will be considerably less, so it's not that big of a deal even if that were true.

I didn't say don't utilize the phone. Keeping the battery cooler it doesn't lose charge as quick also. Electrons don't travel as well between expanded metal, cells, conductors or whatever. As these phones keep getting more powerful peeps keep losing sight of fundamentals. If I don't have any cooling handy I just go with it. But if you can prop it up without a case on it, you're doing yourself and phone a favor. Holding it in your hand with a case on or laying flat doesn't help dissipate heat. I'm outta here. Too much heat in this kitchen.

Ouch Ouch its burning

I was just curious to know if someone else's phone is over heating. Yesterday I was watching a boxing match on youtube with 4G on and it reached to a scary 121°. 4 hours later I was playing the nova demo with the screen at 45% brightness, played for like 20 minutes or so and it reached 112°. Just whanted to figure out if this is normal that personallyI think is not, and also if someone else it's experiencing the same issue. Thanks
Edit: Both of times I was indoorsjust in case someone is wondering.

Mine can get much hotter than that but it pretty much hovers around the 120 range when I'm browsing the web.
I also get this message when charging and watching a video. I need to exchange it. Just need to find a Best Buy store that has one in stock.
What do you use to check the temp?
mine gets real hot as well.. I think it has to do with charging while using though.
Woow thats amazing. Im guessing that those temperatures can be harmful to the phone right?
I use system info from the market to check my phone status very useful

My phone was just laying in shotgun of my car with the car charger plugged in and the display on, then all of a sudden I picked it up and it was hella hot! 120° read SetCPU and I got shook, ripped the battery out and threw the phone in front of an AC but then I got worried that the extremities could possibly warp the board, so now Im thinking Im going to return my phone! In no way can this be good for the phone, I don't see how it can not get affect it when reaching 120, 130, 140 degrees!!! Im worried that in a week, a month, a year from now something will go terribly wrong and I really don't want to risk it, so I'm real close to returning this phone and just waiting for the Nexus!
I am amazed that a phone getting hot after heavy use is such a surprise to everyone. See any fans? see any ventilation? Here you are using a dual core 1.5 GZ processor, what were you expecting, ice water?
Ahh... Set CPU. So you can't really find the temp until you're rooted?
Hmm

Who mentioned anything about heavy usage and overclocking? CPU is 1.2Ghz stock buddy and I wasn't doing anything on my phone at the time it overheated...I have a Droid Incredible 2, and I run its CPU OC to 2.035Ghz and its never once gone over 105 degrees, so before you go getting all amazed, get your facts straight!
I have noticed this too.
With the phone simply in my pocket, my leg would feel warm. I could grab the phone and the phone would feel quite hot. Not so hot that it would burn my ear, but warm enough that it would feel like there's some kind of problem. Usually, heat = battery getting drained. When I check to see if there's anything running, there's nothing...
Right now, have been listening to Spotify for over 2 hours, and it's cold as ambient temperature. Will try installing some monitoring program and report if I notice more heat issues. I know the Evo3D used to get "burns my ear" hot when using it as GPS while connected to the car charger. My guess was that if the screen is on, and there's power going to it, it'd always get hot. Maybe it wasn't supposed to and that was just my assumption. However, same thing happens to this one; watching netflix, or playing a game, or anything demanding, and if I'm plugged, it will get really hot, really fast. If not connected, it won't get as hot, but "normally" hot nonetheless.

That you know of, did they ever fix the issue on the Evo3D?
Let me put it another way. I don't see any process or feature that will cool down the phone when in moderate to heavy use. I expect it to get hot. I have always thought, how are they going to disperse the heat?

Mine got hot on day 1 from youtube and general setup but after a full nights charge it has been great for 2 full days, no heating up or anything weird.
But man did it get hot!
Edit: I turned off gps the night this happened. I have been using my phone alot and have not experienced this again.
You need a dose of Penicillin and Cortizone. The burning sensations should clear up. In the mean time, stay away from strange phones and turn off the vibration loop - LOL
Sorry, but I've done quite a bit with my phone (videos, NetFlix, etc...) and it doesn't get warm enough to burn.
An Intel CPU (i7, for example) can run at 200 degrees Fahreneheit. In fact, the roof is about 100 degrees Celsius. To protect the CPU, there are heatsinks, fans, water cooling, etc. Video cards can also go up to 70 degrees celsius before showing artifacts; some can do much better.
We're commenting a heat that is not nearly that much for a phone. IF the SOC gets to 100 degrees celsius, that's one thing; 100 degrees fahrenheit...that is the temperature in many places around here.
These SOC don't need such fans, heatsinks, etc, because they're not supposed to reach temps of 200 degrees. They should be self contained.
On my Evo3D, which I passed on to my father, I could smell like something was burning. It wasn't, but it smelled like if it were, around the battery. Yeah, it still gets hot when in use, and specially if connected.
I believe there's also comments that on all new phones, the first few charges, while the battery adapts, the phone may be hot. Of course it had been over 2 months on my Evo3D and it still gets hot.
The E4gT is doing better today, but I haven't thrown any video/games at it yet; nor has it been in my pocket.
I'd say give it a couple days. I know I've reported my own concern, and I'll be checking it to make sure the "hotness" is within reasonable limits.

Anyone elses Nexus get really hot sometimes?

My phone has a tendancy to get really hot at times. Even in my pocket. Not sure why but its happened on the stock from as well as the 4.0.3 build. Just wondering if its the nature of this beast or if I should consider exchanging for a new one.
I noticed it ran hotter than it should have been my first two days with the phone (I'm LTE). Even on calls. But ever since this weekend, it magically just stopped running hot altogether. I was doing some heavy usage stuff last night and it was barely warm.
Didn't do any changes to it either so it's puzzling. Wish I can give you a better explanation.
Yes, noticed that today, but only when playing games. Any other time it is nice and cool. I suspect the protective casing I got for my GN does not help. I am not using LTE by the way
I was streaming Google Music from LTE, HOT POTATER
Only a little, but my point of comparison is my thunderbolt that would get so hot when in heavy use I'd wonder if it would explode on me

The phone gets hot sometimes..like any other device with any oomph under the hood. My def. warms up alot during some activities.
If you want to experience hot, try this app: https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDUwMSwiY29tLmludG8uc3RhYmlsaXR5Il0.
Battery reported 47°C after a few minutes.
The radios aren't correct in this phone. 3g and 4g will make it hot as ever. Of you chill on wifi it'll be cool as ice.

Dammmm always the same thing, I thought this was going to fix with this new version of android but I see this problem of overheating continuing, I not understand until we have to deal with this problem, for the love of god any company that corrects this problem.
The only time my phone got seriously hot was watching a two hour netflix movie over mhl. And honestly i was more concerned about the battery temperature. Even gaming my phone gets nice and warm but pales in comparison to the heat output watching that movie on netflix. Of the 33% battery i lost watching it, i think most of that loss was due to heat. Watching a movie on amazon instant video over mhl was comparable to playing a game where heat was concerned. I only lost about 10% battery watching a 2 hour movie then. Also note my gpu is @ 384 mhz and i'm undervolted quite nicely.

Mine got considerably warm until I installed a UV kernel and undervolted quite significantly.
To me it looks like they've..generously volted the CPU in this thing.

I noticed my heat went down also. But i think people concerned about heat should get less powerful phones and be done with it.

Um do you have any idea how difficult it is to passively cool a multi core processor running at over 1ghz packaged next to radios, batteries, and other misc electronic components. Oh and let's not forget wrapped in a 9mm thin shell with zero venting. Wtf do you expect

man I love my android phone and have had more than 4, but this is a problem and suck at this point in the game, the only thing that I respect the iphone is to control the heating, and they can do that android should be able to equally.....that's my opinion and the only downside that I see android.
Mine gets a little warm occasionally, especially when gaming or streaming netflix, but not enough to be of concern. I had the RAZR before this and it would actually get uncomfortably hot against my face during phone calls, so the Nexus is a welcome change.
I agree with Slowhatch. Passive cooling can only go so far, especially with no vents. Personally, I'm amazed that these devices can stay as cool as they do.
Finally made it to a VzW to play with my next phone (NE2 up on Dec 29th) and noticed this as well. Nexus felt massively hot compared to Rezound and Razr. But I also spent a good amount of time toying with it and letting my fiancée play with it. The Rezound was kinda cool... Razr is as pathetic as its older namesakes.
I don't care though, I'm buying a Nexus even if my pants do burn up.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
I'm slightly worried about mine. It gets hot for seemingly no reason (even while browsing the web sometimes).
Maybe I'll do a bit of an undervolt and see how things go.
ya...i too have same problem with my cell
had the first samsung galaxy s and at one point had to have them replace it when overheating ruined the screen. my LTE GNEX heats up I notice when on the phone and ocasionally at other times which does have me worried given my past experience with samsung phone
just in case anyone is interested:
watching an hd mkv using mx video player with HW acceleration on: top right part of the g.nex gets burning hot after 20-30min. (i gues that's where the cpu/gpu is located)
you can decrease this by swiping out all other apps running in background and switching to SW or SW-Fast acceleration, frame rate stays perfectly smooth and voice sync is ok and cpu/gpu temperature remains warm instead of coal hot.

Phone heating up

So when I load my GN with a lot of stuff like redownloading all my apps after a system wipe or use the camera for a long time with flash on, it heats up around the camera but not the battery. I was wondering if it's normal and if others have the same experience. Post if you do pls.

it's normal when using lots of data or heavy 3D gaming. Unless it starts burning you, theres nothing to be worried about.

Thanks for the info. My GN stays at normal temp. when I'm not loading it up do much. But when it heats up, the temp. is not what I'd expect from a phone so I was kinda worried.
Mine gets warm doing anything over 3g/4g for more then 5 minutes, I see it as high as 105 F, which is not too bad i guess. I know they can go up to 140 or so I think before shutting down.
I still don't like it, but I guess all this power in these phones has to get hot.
Yeah with a computer the heat's properly evacuated but with mobile devices like notebooks and powerful mobiles you'll definitely feel the heat.
Still it's very annoying.
IIRC (from Androidcentral.com?), there's a bug in 4.0.2 and below that doesn't turn the camera threads off when using the face recognition signin. You can address this by activating and then deactivating the camera. If not, the camera simply heats up and battery life takes a hit.
I turned off the face-recognition signin and have noticed dramatic improvement in battery life. YMMV.
This do happens to my gnexus. Hot spot comes from the top close to camera area. Happens when I'm playing games or online a lot.

This phone still overheats in the middle of winter when playing games.

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...

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.

If the phone kept at full speed, it would heat even more at the point of damaging the internal components.

I know how to keep the performance as good as it was cold. But the temperature won't drop i meant it's still warm.

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. ****ING. 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.

Idiots shouldn't buy smart phones. That's all i can say.

I am not retarded, I know how overheating works, I'm an IT technician and I deal with overheating bleeping computers all day long.
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.
Why are you missing the point?

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.

um..that's not the case, AT ALL.
The thermal throttling kicked in so that's why the OP seeing lowered performance.
Please read more about hardware before you post these.

If you're dealing with overheating computers all day long then you're doing something wrong, Maybe time for a career change, Probably same with phone.
Love it when people rage.
OP, buy another phone then, problem solved, you're welcome. :good:
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
And I know 4 people in IT, and their knowledge is pretty much on par with yours judging by your posts

Of course the phone should get hot, and if it does the CPU should def do something about it and underclock
Also why do you have to swear so much? girlfriend problems? limp noodle?
also if ur going to buy something to test its gaming prowess, buy a psp or something
my advice? stop being a moron.

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. Learn what 'overheating' means.

Can you even read? I FIX overheating and damaged computers for a living. I know how this stuff works, and from the looks of it, much better than 90% of the guys here.

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.

Which temperature separates heating and overheating, then?

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

Note 7 temps

I got my phone a few days ago, and I'm somewhat dissapointed cause it always feels like it's running hot. I've never had this problem on my S7 edge. Just doing some browsing and its in the 94F range. Is this normal?
While it runs a little warm when charging, I've not noticed any excessive heat unless I'm doing something computationally intensive (Ex: transcoding video). But I know of one person that returned hers because of the heat. Have you checked to see if any applications are using excessive CPU cycles or are consuming the battery faster than others?

I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. I'm barely using my phone to see if its gonna start to cool down but it's just consistenly in the 90F range with light use. I wanted to see how others experience are with their phones before I decide if I want to exchange it.

Depends on the ambient temperature, is that the temperature of the battery? If yes then it sounds ok to me.
You should download GSam and monitor the temperature. Since its made out of glass and metal, it will appear hotter to touch than a plastic phone.
Here ya go, note 7 recall due to fire Risk.
Samsung is recalling the Galaxy Note 7 worldwide over battery problem
http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/technology/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall/index.html
Hope it doesn't explode lol
I would disable fast charging and turn on power saver.
Just to be safe.
Also don't wireless charge.
If yours is affected by the battery explosion issue, then don't risk it.
Wait for recall instructions and play it safe.
LOL. Yeah thanks guys, guess I'll return mine then and wait for them to make some new ones, sucks cause I really like the phone and already put in a screen protector and case
Boom!
