Hello,
I want to know whether it is normal, if I play a game like ShadowGun THD, after 2 minutes the phone is about 40 to 45C?
I use the Gauge Battery Widget for testing, because that shows an immediate temperature.
I also have a test.
battery recharge
Put in airplane mode.
Brightness at 100% put
Stand 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes the phone on standby, then immediately turned on the phone, the app started, and looked at how warm the phone was. And he was about 31.8C
Is this normal or not? because at play after 2 minutes the phone all at 40 to 45C.
Sincerely,
djbosanac
It is normal, but I don't consider it "OK". It is overheating badly.
The worse thing is it will also not charge when over 49... (it will discharge fast in fact)
Mine started getting that hot and caused the simcard contacts to warp. So I sent it back for a replacement. I do think the later updates cooled it down a bit but by that time the damage was done

Hmm so it isent ok? that is about overheating of 31.8C on standby and if i play on 40 to 45C ?
Is there a way that i can resolve this problem or not?
Or do i must bring the phone back for a new one ?????

When I was on 1.28 I had the same problem, in fact it went up to 50 degrees regularly.
After the first 1.29 update it was much much better.
Updated to 1.29.401.11 about a week ago and it seems to have gone back to how it was on 1.28!
48 is when the overheating green/red notification kicks in anything under 48 is fine.

Uhm is that automaticly, that you get a notification when the phone is overheating.
But is isent so damageable? for my phone or?
@PurpleRob how stuppid can they be, to set is as it was before the latest update? so that you have again a overheated phone ?

While on charge as soon as it hits 48c it flashes green/red, when that starts it stops charging till the temp drops below that limit.
While off charge the battery should be good up to 60 the CPU is set to shut down the phone at 99 c

I regularly see 50-55ºC even while browsing. But mine will still charge (1.29.401.11) maybe they raised the threshold? It's never shutoff on me but I've heard the upper limit for the phone was 60ºC.
I've contacted Expansys about this issue as when my phone stays above 50ºC for a while the screen yellows right above the home key. Hoping for a replacement, mainly because a case I used has already scratched the screen but it'd be nice is the yellowing and overheating was fixed.
When i check the temp_tj it says my cpu is 43,5 degrees right now, and i'm not doing anything ?
aren't some people reporting battery temp and other cpu temp ?
What software version are you running? My guess is 1.29.401.11 did something that while fixes the screen flickering, it causes the CPU to get too hot.
fellas,
the only solution currently available to reduce the heat is to use corecontrol app and change it to dual-core.
u'l notice considerable difference ofcourse without any loss in the performance..
what does it means, when you plugged in your phone to a load up again, and you get a red light? is that because the battery is full, or to heat? because when i unplug it, it is oke..
Charging
The red light when you plug it in is the phone simply telling you that it is charging, it will turn green when fully charged!

Hi there! I had this problem with my Nexus twice now, that's why I'm bothering you.
Long story short - I plugged my phone to charge in the evening, woke up in the morning to find that the phone is VERY hot(area around the camera on the back) and switched off, and won't turn on. After doing a battery pull the phone switched on, the battery was full and the temperature was at 46C. It happened to me on the Monday night but I thought it is just something silly, but it happened to me today again. I was not using any hardware intensive application before I went to bed, just writing emails with my GF.
Any ideas?
ive left mine on overnight every night since saturday and its not overheating
Leave it in a chocolate tin to keep it cold, with ice below it, charge it in the morning and see if its a app

I'd do a factory reset and see if it does the same after another night of charging with no apps on it.
If it does the same, the phones probably defective.

Have you modded the phone since you got it? Like rooting or installing any mods.
How many apps have you installed on it? Any that may keep running in the background?
If it does it again then I would advise going into Settings, Backup & Reset and restore the phone to factory settings. Then put the phone back on charge for about 8 hours and sede if the temperature goes up again. As mentioned it may just be an app thats making the phone go hot but if it goes hot after a factory reset then you will need to send it back for replacement.
Mark.
The first thing to go from heat damage is the battery. 50 degrees celcius and up is in the battery killing temperature range.
As long as it's under warranty I guess do what you want. But I'd highly recommend setting up an app like setcpu to force a lower clock speed when temp>44 celcius, just to be safe. No sense in killing a battery while trying to fix the problem.

I leave mine on charge overnight, and it doesn't do this... so I'd agree with others in that it's either a rogue app or a duff handset.
Didn't they say that one of the CyanogenMod devs was working with Samsung on the Nexus? Maybe he implemented "sleep of death" as a feature

The phone is not rooted, it's not running any mods. The only two applications that run constantly in the background are the DoubleTwist AirSync module and Llama profile manager(and the default weather+news widget). As both have not been tested with Android 4.0 it may be it. Is there any good app to display the current CPU usage by a process? Just like "top" in the console.

That's pretty much the same thing that happened to me. Except that being hot explains the issue at least partially,as the phone will switch off when overheating.
Same here, no issues with mine. Maybe do an exchange?

Mine was on charge last night and showing 28% on screen. I rebooted the phone and when it came back on, it was suddenly showing as 48%.
I think the battery reporting may be slightly borked, but this could just be down to the battery being run in. I'm just going to keep an eye on it for now.

Thank you, I have used different task managers but none of them displayed CPU usage.
I have discharged my battery pretty much completely, and now I'm charging the phone again, with my battery monitoring app running - at 50% capacity now the temperature is 42C. Can it be normal? The task manager shows that no process is using any CPU time.
That is hot but not that bad. Upper 40's celcius (47-49) is not good. And 50 is critical. Download setcpu and downclock the cpu to 500mhz while charging to help keep the temperature low in case an app spikes cpu usage that doesn't show up in task manager.
Sometimes just flipping the phone so the back is exposed is enough to cool down a phone.
Keep in mind most electronics have solder that will melt between 120 to 180 degrees celcius (248 - 356 farenheit!). While your phone should never ever get close to that, 50 degrees celcius pales in comparison. But it can kill the battery.
Seems most people who have had the problem of their phone spiking in temperature only have it happen a couple times and that's it.
I really recommend setcpu as you can have it run your phone slower when it hits a certain temperature to help keep it cool. As well as sound a notification that it has past that temperature.
It will prevent damage while you try and find out what may be causing the spike.
Though 42 degrees celcius is relatively normal for charging temperatures.
For my phone I have it set at 44 degrees celcius. I'd rather catch it before it gets even close to bad.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Actually the temperature dropped later, averaging 35-36C between 80-100%. So the temps look good for now, but I still have no idea what caused the sleep of death issue....
Yeah,ive had this two nights in a row.i deliberately rebooted my phone and put it on charge last night to eliminate an app being the cause.
This pretty much makes the phone useless as an alarm.
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed it so far.. when charging the phone, and you do intensive WIFI/3G downloads (like updating apps from Play for example), the back of the phone at the camera area becomes really hot after awhile, and the LED indicator, which normally shows a always-on Orange light, will start to blink orange-green-orange-green...
After a day of experimenting, i think that the orange-green blinking is an indicator to tell us that the phone is running too hot, and needs to cool down before charging can continue..
anyone has similar experience?

do you mean while charging or with normal use itself ?
All smartphones have this problem including SGS2 and Iphone 4s.
If you use max brightness + games for more than 10 mins it will get very warm no matter what's the brand or model you use.
The only treatement is to decrease brightness or downclock the CPU with SetCPU (temp profiles)

install battery indicator and check the how miuch the battery is heated, I have checked it quite a few times and it should within 30-32 C which is normal
dont find it getting heated with normal use, I am keeping the player on for many hours and calls etc, only when I charge it gets a bit warm but again not hot I would say

Not excactly but it became also hot for all when I charge
Orange green indicator will happen when you are charging the phone (orange) and when you have a notification (missed call, msg, downloaded app). Heating up happens naturally when you do work on your phone while charging. It will happen even if you do nothing while charging.
A Dutch website called Tweakers.net tested the temperature in comparison to other phones, and found it got hotter than other phones when used intensively. See attachment image to see what I mean.
What is says: "toestel" = device. "frontpage" means they let the browser display the frontpage of their website. Shadowgun is an intense 3D game from the market. "Shadowgun + lader" means playing Shadowgun while connected to the charger.
I only experience the high temperature when playing games on my phone for 5 mins onwards. Charging is fine. I think mine is working pretty fine considering I resides in Singapore where everyday is summer.

Battery drain might be a bit higher than normal, was initially really bad. Hit 60 degrees celsius just leaving it on max brightness home screen. Turned it off and charged to 100, then saw the HTC Test function app using the dialer. Did that and battery drain was more normal. Still doesn't seem optimal so today I'm gonna drain all the way and then charge the phone fully while phone is off.

How long have you had your phone for? I've had mine since Tuesday and battery life has been less than stellar, but I also expected to have to go through a number of charge/discharge cycles before it improved.

I've actually only had it for 2 days so far. I got it thru a trade on craigslist so idk how long the original owner had it for. Less than two months probably cuz SH23 means it was manufactured in march.
I actually somehow fixed battery drain a bit all today. I think draining your battery and charging it while your phone is off helps. It somehow helped me. Before doing it, I tried the HTC test and hit 60 degrees celsius and drained to like 78% with 15 minutes or less screen on time.
After just turning it off because it was overheating and letting it charge fully while phone was off.....I did the HTC test again but this time using the actual HTC test function app by dialing *#*#3424#*#* and doing the battery test. Drain was normal and about 30 minutes every 10%. Also tried to replicate drain issue and overheating by going max brightness on my homescreen and couldn't replicate. Was hitting the normal 36-38 degrees celsius on max brightness.
Make sure to put your phone into airplane mode and have screen timeout to never before doing this. Once you click run, it will start a timer for 1 hour and drain from 100%. After the 1 hour, you should be around the 80% battery life mark, and above 70%. If it's at like 70% or below, you have a problem. If it's abnormally hot, you may have a problem.
Mine kinda went away after charging to 100% with phone off though which was really weird. I'm gonna drain and fully charge up. Then perform the test again and see if it's even better than what I just got.

Thanks for the advice. I'm running Insertcoin and it appears the HTC test function app has been removed. In any event, I won't be too quick to judge the battery life on the phone. Once custom kernels start dropping for this phone I suspect battery life will greatly increase.

Hey guys I have a HTC ONE x the quad core version and recently the weather has been getting warm in the UK. Yesterday I took my phone out of my pocket and I had fully charged it previously and the phone had dropped from 100% battery life to 15% in like 1 hour. Also I felt the back of my device and its was really hot.
Should I be worried about this?

Yes, you should be worried for 2 reasons:
1. You might be having a faulty battery
2. You might be having a rogue app that's sucking your battery
It's more likely the second reason than the 1st. Install betterbatterystats (BBS) app and check what's running in the background and force close that app. If there's nothing fishy in BBS, then I'd say to charge it fully again restart the phone and then check the battery drain..if it's still there, then get a replacement...

I was playing a game on my G3 (UK 16GB) and it got SUPER hot!
It turned off and now will not turn back on. It's stuck on the LG initial splash screen.
I've done all the usual (remove battery, power + volume down, recharge battery etc) but I'm stuck.
Any suggestions before I return it today?
I'm sad ?

I would say return it man.
Has the phone called back down yet?
Don't try to turn it on until its cooled down.
Take the battery out and leave the back door off for half hour then try again.
Just so we know, did you turn Thermal Throttling off in the hidden menu? If so, this is a prime example of why I have been telling people not to do this.

This thought did cross my mind as well.

Hey Lenny,
I didn't turn Thermal Throttling off. And I would also advise people to not do that.
I've just returned from CPW with a brand new handset! FYI the 28 day replacement policy starts from the day you receive the phone so I was still covered. Just!
I did all the things you suggest. It was stone cold and it still wouldn't get past the LG boot screen. Also the little sparkly animation on the LG letters wasn't playing which suggests it borks out very early on in the boot sequence.
I really hope we don't start to see this more.
Fingers crossed!

Good luck with the new phone then.
alright now im starting to worry frying my device. Last time i ran antutu battery test it runs hot. The highest temp that i got is 41.8c on battery temp. It normally runs at 34 to 36 if im playing with it but wont go over 40.. Do you think my device is also running too hot?

anything below 50 degrees is not really anything to worry about.

Thats cool,my G3s ran Antutu at 60+deg C and idled at 45-58. Your temps make me wonder if i had faulty units (i had 2 as the first one had a fault).
Edit, just read you said battery temp? You need to measure CPU temp not battery.

That is what i wanted to know... Is there any apps out there that can measure cpu temp accurately? Does our cpu have built in sensor? Batt is heating upto 40c,,, what more in cpu... I wanted to run a full test again after fully charge.

Try the app made by Mooncakes on the play store. Just search for CPU temperature its free and graphs temps v cpu usage and speed.
