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?
I am rooted. I was over clocked to 1.5 GHz. And I actually just installed nightly #221 but I'm trying to figure out why it was still hot after it was off..

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.

Would have been quite the wake up call.
I can bet you have disabled thermal throttling? If so, then: 1.5GHz+charging+some app using 100% of CPU resources = +110C is very likely.

Even at 1.5, I still don't see what his phone could have been doing to get that hot.
The only time my phone gets over 110 F is with my otter box on in the sun

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

Yes, I've experienced it with custom kernel (e.g. franco) but with stock kernel phone sleeps well deep during charging. (For sure I've tested it now, so this is 100%.)

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.
That's what I was thinking unfortunately...on to gnex number 7 I guess
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yeah unfortunately maufacturing standarts for the GNex are way below than these for samsungs own devices. but better exchange it now then beeing said it´s your fold if the cpu melts or something
Ya that's too bad...calling Verizon first thing in the morning thanks.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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.

Navigation makes phones really hot, but with normal usage it should stay within 30-36°C.
I like this phone's heat management more than my old phone. My Evo 3d would get hot from 10 min usage.
On this, my screen has been on for 2 hours straight and I'm running at a cool 35.1 °C.

When I was running CM10 for a day or two I thought my phone would melt but it was also 90+ degrees outside so it was hard to tell. My phone gets a little warm, but nothing too worrying.

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
Im having the same problem....it isnt the software thats causing this its the hardware
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I hope you guys will repsond to this... What do you consider to be "normal" temperature for your phone to reach? Is 35 degrees realy normal? Ive heard people with s3 talk of theirs only reaching temperatures of 29 degrees max.
Thanks.
Okay, I have been getting the sod on my gnex for a long time. Anytime I would launch an app after about 15 seconds into it my phone would freeze and go into sod. I flashed back to stock and sprint replaced my gnex so when I got it I kept it unrooted for a while to see if it was because I was rooted. Same thing happened while I was unrooted. I thought to myself let me use the stock battery to see if the problem might be the extended battery. Sure enough while on the stock battery the sod's stopped. Its been a day now. Has anyone else experienced this, heard of it or can it be possible? Thank you.

The one from sprint that they were giving away. That's the second one they sent me. The first one my phone wouldn't boot and as soon as I put the old one in it booted. Now the second one seems to causing sod's. Possible?

Sure. If the battery is unstable and cannot properly sustain its voltage. You say it's reproducible when opening apps. Generally this action will cause the kernel to temporarily increase the CPU frequency and voltage, if the battery cannot deliver, I imagine this can affect Android in multiple undesirable ways

39 C is nothing. My device has gotten to over 50 C according to its own temperature reading.
I have owned multiple Nexus and some get hot more than other. I also find some kernel and settings make the device hotter, such as Franco. Mine get up to 50*C, I switched back to Lean kernel and battery saving governors/scheduler help. Using a case help a little too.

You can get the CPU temp from Trickster MOD or any of the plethora of CPU Temp widgets in the play store.
Just had a post a reply. My CPU routinely gets above 60C and the battery above 55C. The other day it did this with the screen off and in my pocket. It used to be that I had to charge and stream at the same time to get this hot. I've run stock and myriad of ROMs and I never overclock. I think it's just Sprint's poor signal that causes my issues.
Same thing is happening to me and I'm running Franco. Could that be the prob? I thought Franco was the best
