Overheating problem

Hello,
I recently noticed that the phone is overheating after a prolonged use, especially during a HD game like dungeons defenders). So, the phone is quickly burning and unusable.
Maybe someone else has this problem ?
Thanks

Paranoid? Not really, no. Just found it odd that someone would ask a fairly normal question and then wink at the end. It's like asking someone if they'll fix your car and then winking at them - they'd be wondering whether you meant it as some sort of weird euphemism!

Is your phone overheating?

All phones heat up a bit when gaming, especially these newer 3D games. Does it overheat? No. If it did, trust me you'd know lol.

If the heating interferes with the performance i'd call it overheating.. lets let him answer that.

No, the game runs fast in high quality, even if the phone is overheating.
But, the battery's temperature increases to 55°C.
My fingers burn when I'm playing a game :'(
PS : Idle temperature is 30-35°C.

You're probably right, but the phone is normally not released yet
But, I will ask for a replacement next week.
Apparently, it's not an isolate case : i saw on french forums that other people have the same problem.
We'll see next week if it's a problem appeared just on a few series, or not, when the phone will be sold in other countries...

funny thing, i heard One S is overheating as well

This doesn't sound like a reasonable complaint!! Its a full kitchen; a monster phone with a monster SoC; 4 full-speed cores + 12 GPU cores. Of course it'll heat up if you light it all up! LOL!
My advice is just don't push the performance envelope while you're charging the phone. The combined heat from the battery + the SoC can create some unpredictable results. I killed an HTC Diamond, a Sensation, and my HD2 screen TWICE doing just that (gaming hard while charging and once running IGo GPS for 4 hours while charging).... the end result is invariably unhappy

I really don't think it's even good as an april fools..

I'm quite sure 55 would leave permanent trace on the phone, both physically and performance wise.
Playing heavy games while charging will result in additional overheat. I have most of today's phones since I own a retail dealership and I know what I'm talking about.

I'm quite dubious about believing that the phone could ever possibly reach this kind of temperature.
I'm only running on the nexus one for now until i get my ONE X through, but still smashing games whilst charging the phone quickly gets up to 40 degrees C however at that temperature throttling kicks in.
The highest iv ever seen my N1 go is 42 degrees, now if they have shoved all the power under the hood in the new ONE X i find it hard to believe that they would not have any kind of throttling to prevent overheating

but 55 is too hot to handle.. well, not really, but still pretty uncomfortable..
i cant imagine alighting from the bus or train, locking my phone and slotting it into the pocket of my jeans, all while it is at 55.. that might not fry my legs, but still, not very cool..

I can't imagine you alighting from a bus or train having been simultaneously gaming and charging. And frankly, in the absence of any evidence, I don't believe anybody's phone hit 55 or anywhere near, unless we're talking fahrenheit. ;-)

[Test] Heat Test

Hey guys, in franco's kernel thread I already said that I wanna test the lowest possible voltages for each frequency for me. Now it seems that I have some stable values and I want to test if it's worth to undervolt. For now I want to see what impact that low voltages have in terms of overheat. Therefore I need some 'testers' who download the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability&hl=de
What I want you to do is to run the CPU/GPU test at full details with your NOT UNDERVOLTED HTC One X and provide me your current temperatur (you will see it in the upper right korner) after 20 CPU passes.
Relevant would be which ROM and which kernel you are using. It's also important that you don't do the test after a 2 hour game session cause that would distort the results of course.
Here are my results with my undervolted One X:
ROM: maXimus V2.0
Kernel: Franco r11 undervolted
Temperature after 20 CPU passes: 39.6°C

StabilityTest-CPU/GPUTest
ROM: Stock rom 1.29.401.11
Temperature after 20 CPU passes: 48.5°C
I must say I just recovered so my phone did a lot of work.
The back of the phone is just warm after the test, nothing to panic.

Thank you for testing, if all One X with stock rom get that much warmer, stock voltages are way too high. Maybe it's just a result of recovery as you said, waiting for another tester

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2

This test won't be very meaningful, unless you also consider ambient (room) temperature, whether the phone is in shade or direct sunlight, what the screen brightness level is, what the starting temperature is, and most importantly whether there's a case on the phone (or even that it's being held, versus placed on a desk).
Even then, there will still be minor differences from things like which radios are turned on, perhaps how many background services are active, even the color of the phone might well make some small difference. (Grey will radiate heat out better than black in a cool, shady place, but will collect ambient heat that the white would reflect under direct sunlight.)
With that said, thanks for the effort. Anything's better than nothing, just figured I'd share some thoughts on how the procedure could be improved to provide better data...

Of course you are completely right. I thought this too but kinda trusted the testers so they won't holt it straight in the sunlight or place it on a heating or in a fridge.. As you said there are also some factors like screen brighness, casing or room temperature so this test has obviously no scientific relevance. Anyway I think those tests will give me a hint if the undervolting makes sense. I will just be looking at the average of the users who are posting their results (thanks again for you help guys) and assume that the values will approach to an average room temperatur, average screen brightness, average device placement etc. so that the extremes got ironed out. Therefore it's beneficial that I have alot of testers so I can look on a wider base.

Mine usually stays around 29C, and almost never goes over 40C. Keeping your CPU from overheating is a good thing (and from running on 'high' heat on a regular basis). Generally, the hotter your CPU is on a regular basis the faster it ages.

Max ive seen in my nexus is 42°c it usually hangs in 38°c and i live in a hot country

actually, most Desktop cpu's have a thermal throttle at 100 C now and a shutdown panic routine at 110 C and some newer gpu's can run upwards of 120 C before being throttled.
Our phones have a throttle at 70 C standard, and have a built in panic at 110 C (i don't remember where i read this part though...)
The battery will run fine at higher temps (besides discharging really), but it VERY quickly kills the lifetime capacity of the battery.

[Q] I want to fix the cooling issues with my Galaxy Nexus

Basically I've had a Sprint Galaxy Nexus since it launched and I've been plagued with heat issues under even light load, but under heavy load its so bad that it is thermal throttling about 90% of the time after only 2 minutes of use.
And by that I mean it is running at 65c after less than 2 minutes of any 3D game, where it begins thermal throttling to control the temperature, and every game becomes unplayable. The device can easily heat to 60c by simply scrolling a webpage but 65c is the threshold where the device is simply unusable. I know we should expect some heat due to passive cooling rather than active cooling, but in this state, my phone is only good for email and music.
So I'm ready to take it into my own hands and modify my phone. I have no idea what type of heatsink is in this thing as I have not taken it apart yet. I am hoping the issue is simply that the heatsink didn't have proper thermal compound on it and I can just treat it like a PC, but if thats not the problem, I'm wondering if this is going to be beyond my ability.
Are there improved heatsinks for phones on the market? I don't even know where to start

I'm pretty sure smartphones especially this phone don't have heatsinks lol
If you're going to modify, just try out some kernels. Most, if not all custom kernels have Smartreflex control to calculate how much voltage the CPU needs in order to run a certain frequency at the lowest possible stable voltage. Undervolting will help some heating issues.
Remember, this phone can take heat up to 100+ Celsius before needing to reboot automatically to cool down. And the TI-OMAP is not the most heat efficient processor to begin with. It is from 2011.

Really disappointed with under volting after spending 4 hours rooting my device and putting paranoid android my temps have only gotten worse. 75c after 3 minutes of a game

I think his problem is the hardware itself. He said this was a problem see he got the phone from launch. I'm scratching my head as to why he still kept the phone and didn't have it replaced. My phone runs around 55 Celsius on higher load so I think the phone's cooling isn't working right and he should have gotten a replacement.

Actually it depends mine, with a TPU cover and 35 degrees outside, heats up pretty quickly. Right now i'm indoor with air conditioned, Gnex undervolted and fixed at 350MHz, only playing some music + usb charging, and CPU temp hovers around 41C. I'll try to play with it once at home and see if the undervolt actually helped.
Also noticed that some well programmed games (such as Mini Motor Racing), despite the great smooth graphic, they heat up the phone very little. On the other hand, simple card games made my Gnex almost untouchable, go figure.

Here. Also attached is the temperature reading from TempMonitor right after closing the game in the top left

Ok so after being completely unimpressed with paranoid android, I'm torn on which rom I should try next. I had no data on PA but got that fixed thanks to a topic on here

What is the average temperature in your country ? Because 60 degrees while scrolling a webpage is impossible for me to recreate. These temperatures you are having is not strange when the average ambient temperature is around 30 degrees. If that's not the case then try Slimbean alpha 3.1 which comes with LeanKernel 8.0. Make a full wipe if possible !

Just as the title says. I'm constantly getting alerts for a hot battery. My phone doesn't even feel hot so I have no idea what is going on.

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

Is the battery temp alarm part of a battery app you installed and does that app properly read the temp sensors ? What are the alarm thresholds set at ?

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.

yeah i have betterbatterystats and gsam just to be safe. I dont know why I'm getting warnings at like 75 degrees though :/
Oh well

I got warnings when it was 35-40+, but today I got a warning that it was hot when the phone was cold. My battery was almost dead maybe that had something to do with it

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.
Cool, thanks everyone!

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.
