Sprint nexus gets hot... Kernel? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

If I use it more than 10 min it starts warming up.. 15-20 min and it almost burns to the touch. Is this a kernel issue? I do have a custom kernel running.. Could anyone recommend a kernel? I am currently running teerom

"hot" is relative desriptor, its not a temperature but how something feels as compared to something else. can you give us a tempurature? was it plugged in?

yea, that would help with setcpu. search battery temperature in the market, theres a bunch of free battery apps that give the temperature reading.

yup, thats hot!
what are you using when it gets so hot? watching a movie in flash will do it, gaming will do it when plugged in(but youre not plugged in). my guess is that the lte 4g radio could do it also, especially if its trying to connect but cant. ive heard of verizons galaxy nexus getting very hot with the lte radio on. my gsm gn only gets that hot when its overclocked highly and im putting it through a tough benchmark regiment(when trying to get it that hot). it could also be a defective battery.

I've had many sprint phones get hot while downloading lots of data over 3G. It particularly happens when I do "update all" in the android market while on 3G. Burns through battery power real quick.
This is mainly due to sprint's crappy/obsolete 3G implementation trying to keep up with modern data demands.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

I'm having the same issues. I might just sell the phone for now while I can for around 400$ then re-buy it once it hits a lower price

deleted post.
move along, nothing to see here..

Just an FYI, that screenshot is a picture of the battery temperature. Not the CPU temp. I believe that the maximum temperature the Galaxy Nexus' processor can withstand is 100 degrees CELSIUS, not Fahrenheit.
At deep sleep the lowest my CPU reaches is 80 degrees F and my CPU is ALWAYS around 95 degrees F when in light use and rises to about 145 degrees F when browsing or using an app.
And I believe you must be rooted to check CPU temperatures anyway. Franco's app shows the MPU temperature and you must be rooted to check it.

weird things happen at my church

so in my church my phone has almost no signal but my friends with Verizon and other phones than the galaxy nexus have better signal than that of mine.
what I usually do is just
1. turn the data off or
2. put my phone into airplane mode
when i turn data off, after about 30 minutes my phones gets crazy hot for no reason. and sometimes I have to do a battery pull because it doesn't respond to anything.
today, I put it into airplane mode and it didn't get hot. but after about 2.5 hours, I had gone down from 100% to 75% battery life. also it showed that "media" was 95% of my battery use.(I tried to take a screenshot of the battery but it keeps saying "couldn't save screenshot. storage may be in use"
and my phone was awake the entire time.
this only happens in my church...
does anyone know what is causing all this?
it just seems so strange because I have no problem with my phone anywhere else. I'm running liquid 1.1 and the minimalistic kernel 2.7.1stable if that relates to anything.
no idea, but the power of Google has put an advert on this thread on the xda app for Christian dating nothing is sacred from el goog!

Your phone has been possessed by satanic forces which is why it is happening in church.
Try getting it exorcised or better yet throw it into a bucket of holy water for an hour and of it still works when you take it out you'll know for sure it is possessed.

179° temp this morning when I woke up...

So last night. Just like everynight I plugged in my phone. Left it on my bed. And woke up this morning. The phone was off and it was so hot to the touch I could barley hold it. No exaggeration. I actually have a screen shot of the temp when it first booted up. Its was 179° .. I don't know what caused this.. but I hope my device wasnt damaged at all last night. And I do not know the culprit. It was just random.
Here is a screenshot of the temp through francos app. Oh and by the time the phone booted it actually cooled down a little bit so I'm betting the phone hit 110°c last night and shut its self off. The weird thing is it was still hot while it was off just charging...

You should attempt to replicate it for the purpose of identifying the cause. It's likely the charger, the first place I'd start. Have you rooted? Are you OC'd? Have you recently installed a new ROM or changed anything?

My guess is that the charger is giving it too much juice, at least when the phone is shut off and the battery full. Is it the stock charger? Also, it could be possible that the software that regulates the charge isn't functioning properly and you woke up shortly after it had shut off.
I am using the stock charger.

Charging always locks the phone at 350mhz (keeps out of deep sleep) if it is on.

My opinion is that it is probably your charger giving the phone too much juice... HOWEVER, why is your charger giving the battery too much juice? you should check the fuses in the house. if you have the charger plugged into one of those multiple outlet bars, those tend to overheat electrical appliances. plugged something else into that same receptacle and see if it gets got over time
The first thing I checked was thermal throttle. I'm not using a power bar. Uhm. Yeah I'm not exactly sure what was up with it. The only thing I could think of was it was slightly under a pillow. But still.. I don't see it getting so hot while being under a pillow with no pressure being applied to it. Tonight I'm going to try and replicate what I did last night but with CPU spy on. Maybe there is a rogue app cause problems. Who knows. Oh and recently my phone has told me twice in the past few days that the Sim card was removed. And when I touched the metal over the Sim card it was hot as hell. I think I might have a defective phone at this point... I've never really pushed this phone. But it runs hot sometimes. Very easily. And what scares me is since I had to get a refurb.. damn insurance.. it was unlocked when I got it...
Just normally charging and light browsing right now and I'm at about 156° I'm not sure what to think of that number

120°F / 51° C seems very hot to me. My Gnex is on 84°F / 29°C. Even after playing high performance games it doesn´t heat up more than to 111°F / 44°C
What Rom / Kernel / Build are you running?
I'm running the latest Vicious/CM10 w/latest Franco but I've tried several other ROMs...none of my other gnex's ran this hot...it will go up to 160 with the slightest task to the point where it is uncomfortable to touch on the upper part of the screen.

maybe try the paranaoid android rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582. there are a few reports about overheating with the stock CM10 kernel, but works perfectly for me. solutions there are switching to trinity kernel or franco as well. but mainly the overheating shoult result from a bad kernel.
If you don´t want to put on another rom, maybe switch back to an older / stable version of francos.
I don't think it is a kernel issue because I just got this replacement...(have had 6 gnex's...long story) was running the exact setup...never had any heat issues until this one. Even when it was bone stock I noticed the upper part of the screen was hot to the touch.

then give back to your reseller. sounds like a factory problem then. phone shouldn´t heat up this much. not even it´s uncortable it may crash your phone (or parts of it) in the long run.

i feel like you two don't know what you are talking about and idk wtf you are doing to your phone that you've had to return 6 of them? derp but, that's besides the point
now the issue at hand, i've had over heating since jelly bean on custom roms which has shut my phone down ... it seems to be a kernel issue as far as i can tell ... i'd recommend trinity's TNP1344-307-JB-STABLE35 http://goo.gl/jry8c
if the problem persists go back to stock ... and quit sending your phones back you are the reason why carriers don't want people to unlock their bootloaders
50°c is normal operating temp, the gnex has a thermal throttle that kicks in at around 75°c, then it scales down the cpu. You also have to consider the ambient temperature outside. Its 95°- 100°f here during the day, of course your phone will run a little hotter when its hot outside. Just use your phone
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just dip ya phone in water, that should stop it getting to hot :cyclops:
Most of the phones I sent back I did not modify at all...asurion sent me 5 defective devices that all had hardware issues...(faulty screen, broken buttons, no radio, DOA, etc...probably refurbs), they then reimbursed me for buying a new phone through Verizon and it does not have any of those issues. I tried Trinity and it is running slightly cooler now. As for me not knowing what I'm talking about, that is why I asked in the first place. I didn't know what the average running temp. is.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just flash back to stock and see if you still have the overheating. If nothing changes you have a defective phone. I don't think my gnex has ever reached 120° F even with some mild overclocking and heavy use.

Ha! Try hours with GPS, Bluetooth music and Tethering on... the heat seems to really hit while I'm charging and doing all that. Fact! I can't touch the ass end of the phone. It probably gets about 8 hours a week like that. Still working perfectly. Samsung tells me it's normal. It also has a lot of factors for me too. I use a 1 amp charger. After 96% it's not so bad. At night when brightness is down. Not as hot. I tried to get it to mess up but couldn't. GPS, Bluetooth, tethering, charging from 30% and 100% display, and I pushed out to a low coverage area. Didn't miss a beat or melt. Lol.

It actually shouldn't be expected. The Snapdragon S3's also ran at 1.5ghz and was pleasantly cool and the Exynos on the Galaxy Note was at 1.4ghz. Both are less power efficient and should run hotter than the S4. I've used the Evo LTE for a while with the same S4 and it barely got warm on a hot day. The issue is with the second core being weird. For those that hasn't already, make sure you flash Freeza's fix, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790061 . This fix made my phone cool and got rid of my quickly draining battery life.
Most of the time my phone will stay within "normal" (to me) range, but when I game heavily... it turns into an oven range! I've gotten so paranoid a few times, I took the battery out and let it cooled for 5-10min

Thanks.

4-5 hours of battery life.

I don't understand why but my phone is dyeing way too quickly and it's not so responsive (feels sluggish) as I want it to be. I see my friend has his HTC one and it's substantially faster then mine, both of us running all stock (mine is stock Rom but I'm using leankernel 6.8). I downloaded Better Battery Stats and I don't really see anything jumping out yet my phone usually lasts 4-5 hours with about one hour of screen time, sometimes I'm able to squeeze more. I have 90 apps on my phone, everything legit. I feel like it used to be much better before ..
Please advise.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta
the HTC one is faster. more memory, better processor. so thats a terrible comparison.
4-5hrs of screen on time or just 4-5hrs total?
Is it _THAT_ faster then GNEX? I'm running leankernel, mine is slightly OC to 1.2GHz. It seems like sometimes I could be running one or two apps and my phone would be really slow.
4-5 hours to drain 100% battery completely with about an hour of screen time.

its a quad core vs dual core, 2GB of ram vs 1GB of ram, so yes, its that much faster.

I don't really "undervolting" or any other tweaks other then install leanKernel and change "Power Mode" to "BestBalance" (it sets following: MaxCPU: 1305MHz, MixCpu: 384MHz, Governor: interactive, IO Scheduler: deadline, MaxCPU (screen off): 537MHz.
that is it...

Touche. Takes the device so damn long to execute tasks it drains the battery.

Screen off max cpu speed over here is 1.2ghz.

I don't really see any difference, but if you think it'll help me, I can try setting it to 1.2, although I'm pretty sure this isn't why I'm getting so little time on my battery..

3g does use less power than 4g,but it still drains pretty fast. Use wifi whenever possible. Turn on auto brightness for display. If u have the Facebook app, delete it and use the mobile site.

.. and that's why I use 3G or WiFi whenever available .. I'm official beta tester of Facebook beta, I can always submit a bug report to Facebook if app is misbehaving).

If I was beta testing an app, I would try to have a very small number of installed apps.
AFAIK, the longer the device has to keep a wake lock, the harder it is on the battery.
And 1.2 GHz is stock max speed, not an OC implementation.
