[Q] Galaxy Nexus CPU temp

Hello all
This is my first post and Galaxy Nexus is my first Android phone.
So, when i bought my GNex it was on stock and I use Stock ROM about 3 days. In that period he never get any warm - not even whet I play Angry Birds RIO for about 30min.
Then my brother install me latest AOKP ROM and Franco kernel - great stuff, but now I feel heat around camera
I use TempMonitor PRO app and this is my results :
all apps close, not starting anything - around 32C
Gallery, cam, some apps started and closed - from 38 to 42C
Playing games (Angry birds RIO, Space, Sentinel HD) - 48 to 52C
My question is this :
Is that normal temp? How does Stock didn't heat that much
Tnx and i hope this will help if someone have the same question

Hi,
Your CPU temp is absolutely normal,no worries.And while playing games it's even perfect.
How does Stock didn't heat that much
Click to expand...

You're not stock now...
After it depends at what CPU freq you're running,voltage,ambient temperature,etc...but here it's perfect.

I just posted in another users similar thread about their phone getting hot (he said "extremely" hot so hes likely going way past your temps). I too have found my phone to be warmer when running AOKP Build 38. I've run the Stock ROM and LiquidSmooth with Francos Kernel (also tried Provision briefly but it had some issues I couldnt overlook). AOKP gets the hottest by far for me (both at stock CPU and OC to 1420).
I plan on switching ROMs again soon and will take note of temp then

If you use a less feature rich rom you might have less heat issues.
I suggest using the trinity kernel together with a cm9 rom.

Your temps are fine but if you want to find something a little "cooler" try out different combinations. For me, CM9 and Trinity Stable 65 at 1344/384 stays pretty cool while gaming. Ultimately it is going to be a factor of your clock speed. You can adjust the frequency of your CPU back down to 1200 (1190?) and you'll see the temp difference. You might also see it slow down during certain UI interactions. Just play around with it, but your phone is still considered in the safe zone at those temps. They have thermal protection built into the kernels as well so even if something crazy happened your CPU would back off until cooldown and if it can't cooldown, it'll shut off for you but that would be a very rare condition. I've never had it happen and I've ran at 1650Mhz for a long time.

Tnx all for info. Great help!
Hmm it would be nice to get back to Stock but to keep root and maybe to install franco kernel... What you say about that?
It's iritating to play game 5 min or look pic in gallery and to feel heat in phone!
One more thing because I'm new in this stuff :
How to get back to Stock? Is it hard?

Your CPU is probably overclocked, don't worry, as long as it stays UNDER 55 degrees C, nothing will happen, if however, it goes over, it will burn your hand, if you're unlucky, it happened to me, with my GS II...

Hi,
Why under 55°C???
The stock temp limit before thermal throttling is 64°C and in Francisco's kernel it's at 75°C.
And the max before the CPU shutdown is 110°C...The extreme protection and the extreme overheating
So above 55°C no worries...In any case if you don't disable the CPU temp limit (like in some kernels->Morfic,Glados and eventually Francisco but not (yet) in his app) you're good and before 110°C->thermal throttling->lower CPU freq according to the CPU Temp limit.
His CPU temp is actually normal,don't say stays under 55°C....56/57/58/59°C,etc...to 64°C or 75°C,no problem unless you stay at 75°C during 1 hour...
With that you said the guy no longer used his phone for browsing 5 mins in the sun...

55 is a very low number and i would suspect most stock GNexs would go above that routinely under heavy load.
I've had my phone up to 66 and its nowhere near burning. Its warm to the touch and thats about it. Now if you are somehow putting your hand directly on the CPU (i.e. not possible) then yes that might feel much warmer.
Basically if you manage to burn yourself on your phone either its already fried or someone lit it on fire

After playing ShadowGun around 15min I get temp. around 65C?! That is really hot - for me!
I think to get back to Stock... This is way hot for me. What you say about that?
Can anyone post link how to get back to Stock? Guys this is my first android phone and if I get bootloop I will get a heart attack, really I will get one

Honestly don't be afraid of boot loops as you can most likely still get into recovery if that happens and all it takes it's a bad download of a ROM or forgetting that such and such kernel is incompatible. Be afraid of bricks and soft bricks lol. Although if you take the time to read before doing anything you'll be fine. Also just download a sick image for your phone from the tool kit to go back to stock. That's the easiest way.

Hi,
65°C after playing 15 mins of an "intensive" 3D game...I don't see where is the problem...It's absolutely normal...
How can your CPU temp will be at 50/55°C (about,for example) after playing 15 mins of game???
You hope what temperature?
Which cpu frequency?GPU?Undervolt?
Don't focus much on your CPU temp,if it's overheated->thermal throttling...And in extreme situation...just a reboot...
It will be the same thing with the stock kernel,you will get the same temperature under the same conditions (playing)...

Unfortunately that's the way it is right now with dual core phones. My phone regularly gets too hot to even touch when playing games for over 30 minutes. I called to speak with samsung about it and they pretty much brushed it off as normal. I'm running on cm 9 with a franco kernel

Hot HOX

Lately the phone has been running warmer than normal. While on call or on a game it really heats up. I have to stop playing game thinking that it may blow up in my hands.
Is this a general problem with the quality of chip used by HTC?
Is this because of stock ROM?
Does this also happen on CFW?

Maybe u have a sg3...
Which firmware do u have mate? Just when we get the best benchmark with the new ota ...people , not seen in hox Forum start with problems.
Talk about ur hox so we can help.
Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod

I'm in india ...
Running stock .3 since ...X is less than a month old n still exploring. Making sure all hardware is ok , cause after root warranty will expire.
I chkd phone update today ..but nothing for me, but I see few ppl have got .4 n updated sense.

no issues at all with mine....when you say it gets really hot does it only happen while playing games? and how long do you play your game for? also do you play games while charging your phone?

1: while playing game - no charging : after playing for 5-10 mins the back part below the camera and the ring of camera heats up, same happens on long calls....
Game : deck landing
Also long browsing on WiFi warms the phone. (Only occasional)..unable to narrow this down
2 : on charger : its not only warm, but its really hot. I get a little unsafe feeling. Game time less than 5 min.
Why do u think this is happening?

while charging i would not recommend to play games. also regarding when browsing though wifi it does get warm my friend.....but after a very long while....regarding games i mean i play only one game but it does get hot but not to the extreme that it would burn my hands
if it gets so hot that you can not hold it in your hands then maybe there is something wrong..specially if it gets hot after say two minutes....do you have other stuff in the background like facebook or twitter while playing the games

Thank u for replying.
I've cancelled all apps in task manager n tried and it still runs warm, but not hot.
WiFi is ocassional, so I cannot narrow as when and which situation.
My battery software shows the batt temp jump to 45 deg ...normal is 32-34... So I'm sure its definitely getting warm ....
Does rooting and installing cfw help?

Have you installed any apps recently? Seems like an app misbehaving. Use a battery monitor app to see which app.

You should update, I'm not sure if the new OTA is out in India check..
My One X was heating until I went 2.05+ based roms. They fixed overheating issues in the new ota. If the new OTA isn't out in India, you can unlock and get one of those new roms with 2.17 base or stock 2.17
cheers!

Send it back for repair, getting hot when browsing internet on WiFi is not normal. I'm browsing internet on WiFi for 2 hours for now and my hox is not even warm.

Hey guys can anyone help me getting 2.x roms please?
Also should I wait for the next update a d then take a call ?

1)Check for updates
2)If No update then decide if you want to unlock(s-on) your phone to try a 2.xx based ROM. That's if you haven't unlocked already.
or you want to give it to HTC
If there is no update and you do give it to HTC good luck!
If you're desperate and want to unlock and update then:
1)Unlock Phone
2)Install CWM
3)Pick a ROM and flash
There are more than enough stickies and guides in the HTC One X Android Development subforum. Help yourself.

My hox hat overheating auch, when play dead space, i have the update but still burning, please help,

i think i messed up my phone

I know its normal the processor to heats up when playing games but in my case i think it is not normal to heats up around 70 C. I really dont know the exact value of its temperature but im pretty sure its above 60C its really very hot!. It feel like its going to explode i tried changing ROM and kernel and the problem still persist.
It only happens when playing heavy games like nova 3, batman darknight rises etc..
i haven't encountered this problem before but since i like testing ROMS kernel out there it began heating up when playing games.

oh.. yes i know but before returning it back to warranty i want to know if is there any other solution. I've thought it is kernel related, im planning to go bact to stock kernel without changing rom to see how will it go but i dont know how

Plain and simple heavy graphic games are going to heat your phone up. Especially if you are playing while charging, have a case on your phone, or over clocking. I'm running Franco's Milestone 5 kernel with JBSourcery 2.3.6 lte

Thanks guys. I was very worried i thought it is something wrong although my phone is new xd

Download an app that can display the true heat of the phone. It can't be 70c? If so, there's probably something wrong. My phone does not go over 50c I believe even when playing. If it's 70c you could probably fry an egg on it. I mean that's only 30c from the boiling point.

Battery performance with games

Hello i have note 10.1 2014 edition(SM-P601) for about 8 months i have an annoying problem with games

I get exactly the same thing, I'm also interested to hear if it's a problem.

Samsung's heavy skin is up, lol. I can play KOTOR(Knights of the Old Republic) for three hours straight after using it for three hours previously browsering the web and chatting with HangOuts and G+. This is on a custom ROM.

any help?

I am looking for an answer to this issue for almost 2 years without any successful asnwer. I tried with a new battery but that is not the problem. The problem is in the device.

i have the same problem. i also have a refurb i bought a while back. i think the only thing to do is replace the battery. sad but true.

ive tried every custom rom pretty much and it doesnt help with the battery drain for me playing games. touchwiz and aosp. i think you either have a good battery or a bad battery and thats it.

I also believe this new lollipop updates brings a fresher experience as well as the UI is much more fluid too.. I'm sure alot under the hood has been upgraded too

I have the same problem, the battery can drain upto 65% in 20-30 mins. The area round the camera gets very hot, If I switch the tablet off and let it cool down, when I switch on again the battery will have recovered most of the charge. What is wrong, my wife doesn't have a problem with her older 8" note.

I have the same issue after upgrading to lollipop... lose about 50% in 30 mins when playing games, especially Clash of Clans... SOT of just over an hour...and the tab is always on Airplane mode with only WiFi on. Even location is turned off. ..
Didn't have the problem in KitKat. Anybody got any solutions? Really fed up of this.
Unrooted, stock ROM.

Did you perform a full wipe / factory reset after upgrade from KK to L ?

I have had my Samsung Note 2014 repaired under warranty at John Lewis. The 'Logic board was replaced and the tablet now seems fine, I upgraded to Lollipop last night and it still seems ok.

Pokemon Go Low fps

Hello! i got my lg g4 as a present 6 months ago never played any games on it before, downloads pokemon go and all is see is 5 to 10 fps what is wrong with the lg g4? how can they even sell this crappy phone? anyway to my question you guys think i would be able to send it back and get a refund? the screen does get so hot that when using it in the sun and then calling someone it hurts your skin...

Same here

Which Rom you are using?? R u on stock?

the problem is the extreme heat that generates while playing pokemongo...

I've noticed that once the phone gets hot the game starts running slower.
My friend's HTC M9 gets twice as hot but everything still runs smooth.

You can turn off Home screen buttons (those triangle, circle and square shaped) and your fps will be better. Tried and it works.

I'm with T-Mobile USA, software 20i was horrible with the game, when upgraded to 20o version, game got smoother but not as smooth as CM based ROMS. reason why I'm not with CM baseds are because some of reason youtube will freeze on HD playback but audio continues.
If Pokemon is life, go with CM based roms, it'll run so smoothly.

well tbh dont want to root i should not have to if its the heat that is the problem then well LG is bad

to the guy who said something about using a oneplus 3, it also has problems running the game smoothly also the network and gps strength is really poor for some odd reason (software problem) pokemon go is optimized for ios and sammy phones because of the popularity they have

All I can say is that my g4 has dropped many frames and become so hot while playing that I got a temperature warning and 2 minutes later the phone shut itself off

this is my theory LOL i dont know much.. when phone gets hot thermal kicks in so it lowers cpu frequency so thats why you see frame drop.?? and as for heat .. theres no fan in there so heat has to go somewhere i think LG uses the screen to disipate heat...

Guys my G4 never gets noticeably hotter than all my other phones, even I think others are worse. That game I don't have the nervs to play it long time, but for 5min it runs just perfectly. 90% of the games I've tried do.
The games than don't I thing it's more of a compability issue than weak hardware. If that particular game runs normal when the phone is cold there's no chance to see a drop down to 5 or 10fps just because of the heat.
