I have seen battery temp of 40°C.
All I was doing was "simple" multi tasking, ie browsing, Facebook, texting etc. I don't do gaming or anything too intensive.
Would you class 40°C as too hot? Why would it get this hot? Any long term detrimental effects? I know it's not the processor temperature but surely the close proximity of a hot battery must have some sort of effect?
I have never had my screen at 100%, never needed it, mine is always set at 75% Auto so I can't even blame the screen. I know not all people experience heat with full brightness but there have been reports of this.
My HTC One X+ used to get hot when it was new, and 18 months down the line, the overheating really became an issue, and it was the same with the phone I had before it (HTC Desire). I really don't want the same with this phone.
36.3°C as I type this and all I have been doing is browsing, ambient temp of around 17ish, brightness on 70% Auto.
Any ideas folks?
40 is not too hot. Mine is at 35 at the moment.

What would you class as too hot?
Ok. So if 40 in itself isn't too hot, isn't it too hot for the relatively little amount of work I was putting the phone through?
It depends on how hot it was in the room you were in. Ambient temperature has an effect on it I've noticed.

I would say the ambient temp was around 20°C.
I would say that it's too halt when you get a heat warning? warnings usually happen before any real damage is done so I would say you're fine until then

I preordered the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint the week before the release, and I've been having heat issues since I got it.
So I paid for "TempMonitor" on Google Play so I could monitor the temperature of the battery but the battery was only 40c and rarely goes above 45c. The CPU however is what is getting hot. When I say this thing gets hot, I mean it, and only while charging and in use. If its not charging, it will get warm but not hot like I'm talking. During light usage the CPU will rise to 55c or more and while playing a game it has gone as high as 65c, it burns to touch the screen at these temperatures and when it gets hot like this the touch screen also becomes unresponsive for multitouch.
Already starred the issue #23044 on android's google code page for the multitouch issues though.
Exchange if possible. Those temps seem to high to offset by anything you can do tweaking wise. Or you have something rogue using cpu cycles keeping the heat up.

Do you have a case? My Seidio Active does a GREAT job at insulating the heat coming off the phone and holding it in.
If I'm playing a CPU/GPU intense game or app, it'll easily be 15 degrees warmer with the case than without it.
I do have a case so that's probably the reason. Mostly silicon rubber. I've just never had a phone get so hot I thought it was unusual.
I use Watchdog Lite to monitor background apps for high CPU usage and it rarely ever goes off. The only app I use that it notifies me about is Facebook which has the tendency to use 40-50% CPU while in the background
This phone does get hot when I'm on the internet and only then its the top half where I imagine the CPU is

I took off the case.and have been browsing these forums. Still running as hot as 65c with random jumps in temperature. It will go from 55 to 65 in a matter of seconds.
Over 3G? That would be almost normal. Also stock correct? I get a little bit warm over wifi browsing so I would assume some heat over poor 3G signal.

does anyone else is nexus get really hot when surfing the internet or doing anything else. I've only been using the phone for 15 minutes and it's already dropped 10 percent. idk its up to about 118 degrees
is this pretty common with this phone?
Clock speed
Usage
Screen brightness
Those affect how your gets.
Are u an aggressive user and clocked it up high and always have high brightness.
No only 15% brightness no over clock. New phone just got it today just seems to heat up asap...and gets over 110 degrees easily. The of course causes major battery drain. Prob normal for this phone just never experienced heat like this before
Isn't the processor on the Gnex designed to do a panic restart when it reaches 110 C's ? :/ yes its a big issue i've noticed that the phone doesn't get that hot when using stock Rom weird...
I don't get over 110 and I'm OCed to 1.3gHz, auto brightness on.

The only time mine gets abnormally hot is during a phone call. Im even underclocked and it still does.
getting hot in a smart phone this powerful is normal. I had the S3 for week, that sucker gets hot!
I agree with OP. Mine gets noticeably warm when scrolling through large non-mobile web sites. It cool when scrolling through apps like tapatalk, market, reader apps. It must be something to do with browser engine
Mine gets quite warm as well. Especially with games like gta 3 and Final Fantasy 3.

please don't forget that you're holding a device with a dual core CPU, clocked at 1200 MHz, without fan, water-cooling or anything. ever tried touching a computer-cpu?
(don't do that, lol)
Mine can easily get to 110 degrees. It definitely has a heat issue. My Razr Maxx can get warm too, but not hot like this GNex. It hurts to palm sometimes !
LTE / Camera / Data stuff . / Charging all contributes to this.
Thank god it has removable battery, since battery life will be significantly dampened by heat.
Mine gets hot since Jelly Bean... Maybe "project butter" is intended to melt our phones like butter
remember, battery temp and cpu temp are two completely different things. cpu temp will get lowered automagically in the gnex when it reaches a certain point(heat throttling is enabled in the gnex, unless you disable it), and it will shut down the cpu when you reach 110C, not 110F, that is a safety feature. 110C is 230F btw.
My ion stays either just over or right under 100 is this normal cuz when I'm really using it it's uncomfortable to hold is that a drawback of the s3 cpu I'm on .29 deodexed intd smoothed ion status bar and stock home with mods any one else experience this

The phone should not be uncomfortable to hold. How are you measuring the battery temp? Two things that I am aware of cause heat; one is battery, the other is the CPU. My CPU runs around 100f-102f under normal use. If your battery is getting hot, there is a problem. My phone got uncomfortably hot the first day. I ended up doing a restore through Sony PC Companion and that fixed it. I've since had buildprop tweaks cause my phone to heat up beyond my comfort level. You either need to know your phone really well and troubleshoot the thing one by one or do a factory restore / reflash the ROM and take it slow on the app and tweak installs while testing each level of change. This is the way I do it. Other's may do it differently.
Mine is at 87 f right now just in my pocket data off but after opening this app and screen brightness at 50% its at 93 and it's only been a few minutes. I have a battery app it just says temp so I assume its my battery but anyways, how heavy you use the phone will alter its temp, I've had mine up to, if I recall correctly, 120f the phone will shut off when it's at a dangerous temp like my iPhone I left in my car to charge one summer day, we called my car the hot pocket, but the high heat shut it off and every time I tried to turn it on I got an warning and a shut off so I tossed it in the freezer. Anyways long story short, the heat you feel is how the phone keeps itself from over heating. If it's too hot for you lower your brightness that helps so much, but 100f isn't that bad for running temp

Battle Mon hd an WiFi tether both have temp readings this is where I'm getting my readings

120f is a bit high for everyday use, but for gaming etc its normal.
U'll have to underclock it. 1.5GHz is hot while display on.
Lower down to around 1GHz or 972MHz. (I'm using it, to me its lag free)
I've been noticing lately that when I play games for more than 30 minutes on my Gnex. The CPU gets pretty warm about 53 °c and reaches 60 if I continue.
I know this isn't that hot but the problem is when it reaches 50 ° c the pixels in my screen seem to get scrambled.
So I am wondering if this could be due to undervolting ? Maybe my CPU isnt getting enough juice.

Simple. Look at your computer. There's probably a heat sink, fan and if it's really powerful/expensive possibly even a water cooling system. CPU's get hot. That's their nature. Combine that with ever powerful phones without any real cooling solution and that's an inevitability.
The display is right "on top" of the cpu so it's only natural that the heat is affecting the display. I'm not excusing it but it seems like something with no solution.
Makes sense, to be safe should I not let it get that hot?
110°c is supposed to be the CPU kill switch. But I doubt this phone can even handle 80°c before it just plain melts.

My G4 feels very hot in my pants pocket (to the point I need to switch the pocket its in, or take it out for a bit), but when I check the temperature it is only around 50c - 60c. Is this a normal temperature, or is my phone's temperature actually above the norm?
Not normal in idle, that is for sure. Mine gets very hot when using mobile data and the screen is above 60% brightness. Having 8 tabs in chrome gets mine very hot, wtf, I'm not gaming... I noticed this a few days ago, never bothered me before. I didn't change anything lately, using stock 20D (ota from 20A).

Cpu temp wise, normally it hovers around 33C and goes up to 60C while gaming.
Surface temp wise it doesn't get burning hot
I'm on 20e MM
I got it over 60 while browsing, using mobile data and 100% brightenes. I never play games on the phone.
