[Q] Best Battery Temperature? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

What temperature range should the battery be at?

Bump

My guess is around 30 degrees celsius.

Thank you but I meant temperature range. As in 20 degrees-40 degrees or whatever. You still get a "Thanks!" though.

Mine goes between 19 when in deep sleep for extended period up to almost 31 if playing games. Once you go over 38 I would say it is getting too warm.

To expand upon previous posts, your battery temp range depends on a number of factors such as ambient temp, charging or discharging, health of the battery, etc... Having said that, I have seen battery temp go from normal room temp to 65-70 degrees celsius. Needless to say it is a bit extreme. Best to keep it under 50.

[Q] Battery temperature?

Hi all,
Can you tell me how much does your battery of desire z heat? I think mine is over heating during charging. Please tell me your charging (temperature of battery an hour after pluging) and non charging temperatures in celcius.
for me around 25-30 degrees celcius
Earlier mine was -5 yours seems a lil warm hmm but now while charging 38c and 100f

According to SetCPU, my G2's battery is currently at 40.7 Celsius while charging with the profile set to drastically underclock once it hits 45.5.

My battery gets pretty warm when it's charging. Last I checked, it hovers around 40C. Shouldn't get too worried about temperature unless it breaks the 45-50 degree mark as batteries get warm in general when charging.

If its staying under 50* I wouldn't be horribly worried. When charging and OC'd mine has hit the 45* mark (had a setCPU profile for it) a few times. I just gave it a rest for a minute and its back down to normal.
If your battery is hitting the 45* mark quickly or without much use you may have an issue going on. Other than that, I wouldn't be alarmed if you get high temps under heavy use or if you're largely OC'd.

so it would be better if i wait to send. I have noticed that it is heating while i am talking with charging at the same time.
My battery tends to heat up when I'm using mobile data, but it never goes beyond 50
Oh btw, if you have high battery temps while charging, this reduces your battery life because the temps mess up the chemical compounds in the battery over time

[Q] Battery Temperature

Something Ive always wondered, what is an "AVERAGE" battery temperature for cell phones? I ask because im using setcpu and i never knew the temp. to start getting concerned . Right now it is 87.6 degrees with the low clock at 1ghz on demand at all times.

That is normal temperature. Once you use the phone (play games, internet, etc) it will reach around 90-100 degrees.

There are several different applications on the android market which will tell you the temperature of your battery in Celsius and Fahrenheit. That is about average temp, I have two phones sitting next to me right now and they are both in the mid 80's range on the temp. You want to be concerned if your battery reaches temperatures exceeding 101 degrees (Fahrenheit) (38 Degrees Celsius) when doing any activity and especially if it is getting that hot while sitting in standby.
I've had a recent problem with mine the other day I was having a really bad battery drain and the battery was over heating bad(im talking 105 degrees) since then I was able to fix what was draining the battery but I noticed when I use only my car charger (which was meant fire my vibrant) it heats up. I'm thinking the car charger voltage is different.

Overnight charging = phone very hot + won't wake up

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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.
Don't know about it being hot but mine was on charge last night and died.Making me 2 hours late for work . Pulled the battery out and put back in and its fully charged ????

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.

How hot does your Battery get?

Hi,
You might laugh at this, but I have never owned a smart phone before. I got my Galaxy Nexus last Thursday and I took it for two trips this weekend, mounted on the dashboard. The trips were about a couple of hours each, and the weather was sunny with a temperature from 90 F to 97 F.
I use AndroSensor to measure the temperature of my battery. I found that my battery temperature was around 122 F most of the time, and once went up to 134 F. Is this OK or is there something wrong with my phone. Also the voltage of the phone dropped to 3.7 V as compared to 4.18 V when fully charged and cold.
I am just curious if there is something wrong with my phone. I would like to know what temperatures you guys see with the Galaxy Nexus.
Thank you,
O. O.
Depends my battery stays at 32 c when I work in a 55 f prep area. When I'm in a 82 f room it hits 60c with light usage. This is with trinity kernel. It manly depends on the temp of where you are

In a cool environment (low 70s F) my battery never reaches 120° F. At the moment, it's at 93°F, and I've been using it lightly for a while. Under very heavy usage I've see it reach 118, but more typically about 114. With moderate usage, I see 104 pretty often. After sitting overnight it's usually about mid-80s.
Being on a hot dashboard in direct sunlight on a hot day probably affected your battery temp quite a bit.
Cool Tool is pretty good for monitoring things like battery temp.

Thanks strumcat. There was direct sunlight on the phone since it was mounted on the dashboard, but still 134 F is ridiculous. Does anyone have any idea what he upper limit of the temperature of the battery is? This is a new phone so I would like to know if there is a problem right now before my 15 day trial period expires.
Thank you,

I reach 144°F when I play games and do heavy Facebook+browser Tasks.
Yesterday reached the temp of near shut down (12°F close). Be careful where u use your phone. Like the summer at Disney.
°___° always got hot to point to where I can't use it.

If it was on direct sunlight, 130-ish is not that bad. But make sure that you don't do that next time. That can really be a huge problem. Also you know how hot the CPU was? I find you have to look out for CPU temperature more than battery, because CPU gets really, REALLY hot for me.
My max. battery temperature is around 120F, while charging and browsing/socializing. But my CPU temperature goes beyond 60C easily with light use...

I'm really sorry, but I am yet to find that out. The only reason why I know this is because of SetCPU feature, which is underclocking when CPU temperature reaches certain heat.
I've just searched cpu temperature on Play Store and here's is decent looking one... I dunno if it will work or not though...: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW5lbHMudGVtcGNwdXYyIl0.

Open Terminal Emulator and run cat /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_temp_sensor.0/temperature. Divide by 1000 and you have temperature in Celsius.
Thank you guys for the information. I think this is all I need. As Dragn4rce mentioned the cut-off is 180F so its nice to know that I was much below that threshold.

What is your S4's temperature?

Mind to share? Dial *#0228# to show.
Here is my numbers(indoor usage) :
When idle: 24C to 27C (75F to 82F)
When general browsing etc.: 28C to 32C (84F to 90F)
When playing video or game: 34C to 39C (93F to 102F)
27C-28C idle for me.
28C-34C when just doing general browsing such as reading XDA.
35C-36C after about 5 minutes of light gaming (e.g. Candy Crush Saga)
Running Wicked v4 with included kernel, underclocked to 1674MHz, contained in a Neo Hybrid case.
Above temps while not charging. Charging temps are much higher.

Wow... I average between 75 and 85F (29-35C) under normal use/idle... I've seen up to 105F (40C) under heavy use or after flashing a ROM and the initial setup.
I think those temperature readings are for the battery. If you want to check the real time CPU temperature check out system tuner. Btw, you have to be rooted in order system tuner to access the temp readings.
Yeah i think those are their battery temp readings. My CPU has heated to over 70 degrees under heavy gaming, and averages 40's and 50's under basic usage.

+1 similar results here. Although just noticed the external thermistor reading from *#0228# is similar to cpu temperature but with lower refresh rate. It is on par with my idle temps but doesn't show real time hikes. So here are my external thermistor readings. While browsing on Wifi at room temperature, it is about 38-40 C and under heavy gaming it goes up to 48C (playing Real Racing 3 about 15 min)

If you are on stock rom it should work. Make sure to dial the exact *#0228#. There will be two temperatures on that page. One on top, which is the battery temp. And one on the bottom which is right under 'external thermistor'. I think, external thermistor reading is either the average cpu temperature or a sensor that is very close to cpu.

Yeah i'm not on stock ROM, but my kernel has a CPU temp reader that checks every second, and its currently at 44, under mild usage.
interesting stuff, I'm planning on buying a S4 soon
It makes me somewhat feel better knowing that mine is just normal like everyone else's.
However, this is really a too "hot" a phone for me. so I am dumping this one for something else.
It was fun ride, but it gets uncomfortable when walking with this little "heat radiator" in my pants pocket. For people having cold hands, it might be a feature, but, too bad, it is not for me. I might check out the Galaxy Tab 3 in few months.
Lol I'm running PAC man w/Chronic Kernel, Apex launcher.
Friday on one of the hottest days in Phoenix 116, in my car w/out A/C using I heart radio on my phone. The radio stopped, after a minute I looked down found it had rebooted it. So I went to the home screen where I have system tuner pro widget and the CPU temp was 200°F... oh crap, pulled battery out left it like that till I got home.
Got home the phone was still hot, so I put both the phone and battery in the fridge for 30 min. Installed the battery after retrieving it and the phone and crossed my fingers and made a prayer. Phone booted up and still operates as advertise:thumbup:.

At boot: 31C
Idle: 36C to 37C
After 3min video playback: 45C peak
