Temperatures a little high? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I bought this phone last week and I think i'm having issues with the temperature.
When I use it like for 10 minutes using instagram, whatsapp and twitter, the temperature goes to 40/42º C (104ºF)
The max temp I had was 45ºC (113ºF) no more than that.
What should I do? It's normal? Should I swap it for another because it's under warranty.
Btw my serial number starts with 510...
And i'm using kdz 20d

Which temperatures? CPU? or the surface of the phone?
Are you in a hot environment?
Mine is currently maxing out at 37 ºC, but here is winter.
On the other hand that is normal for a CPU in use (especially if we are talking about the 808).

I have, 33 now and idle, so having 40-42 while under load is OK.
Edit: just went to 40, after browsing XDA and replying to Hangouts and Whatsapp messages + listening to music.
Moreover, if you google temperatures, you see that is normal. But again it depends what task are handled by the CPU it self. Having not more than 45 is acceptable for the 808. On the other hand if your CPU is under constant load, that may indicate, that some app(s) using your device all the time.

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:.

From GT-I9505 Dial *#0228# I only see battery status and "quick start" button, so I used *#0*#, select sensor, select thermistor, "AP" column (= Android Processor Temp). Is that the same thing your looking to compare?
At boot: 31C
Idle: 36C to 37C
After 3min video playback: 45C peak

[Q] CPU Temperature on load

My average CPU temp is 34°C (93°F), and I go up to 67°C (152°F) when I play games (like GTA-VC).
Do you think it's normal that kind of temperature from the S4Pro ?
Actually this is really low...
67c on high load like games, which stress the cpu?
My device goes to 80c easily, starts to throttle cpu speed and shut down cores, all of the devices do that. This temps are normal.
By the way which app you used to measure that temps?
If you really want to see how your device holding up,
Download that app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability
While run the classic Stability Test measure your cpu usage and temps.
Personally I use FauxClock.
After a few minutes you'll see the high temps and the cores throttle.
Oh, joining this question. Just got a 32Gb LTE version and found out it's getting quite warm when playing something like Osmos, Doodle Jump or something. I don't know how to get the exact temperature, cause monitors I' found on market, show only the battery temp. Anyway who else gets his N7 warm/hot when some heavy app is running? Asking, cause my friend also got the same N7 and I don't remember it to be hot even after running 3D games for quite a long time.
I used the app "System Tuner" from gplay.
Apparently, your StabilityTest app requires more power than GTA-VC, I recorded a 82°C with a 50mV undervolt (on Franco r3 kernel) after a 8min StabilityTest, then I just stopped it. I'm a little afraid of this kind of temperature :/ Are you sure it's okay ? I don't know well the mobile device world...
That's the real temperature , even higher,
And you don't need to worry too much.
Your device will turn off if the CPU reaches too high CPU temp,
And 80-90 c is fine. The soc is built to work on that temps.
As you could see your CPU shutdown cores and lower cores speed while the temperatures going higher, that's called throttle.
You don't need to worry too much.

StabilityTest can load all 4 CPU cores 100%. You won't find a game that does that.
The CPU will be thermally throttled (clock frequency will be limited when the temperature is too high), so you won't damage anything.
And is the average temp of 45-50 °C normal? I'm just using Skype and surfing the internet.

If you run a adb logcat while gaming you start to see alerts going off for high temperatures when it gets around 70°c or higher. I found it very interesting that it was alerting when it got that high instead of ignoring it like you say till 80-90°c.

Games use GPU which adds much more heat to the conclusion.
Stability Test don't.

The device doesn't ignore it till 80-90c. It's start at 60c.
I just say that it's safe temp for the soc to operate. Which means your cpu never use all cores, and the cores that active wouldn't be at the highest speed, while the cpu reaches 60c, more heat more throttle.
Ok thanks to all of you, so it's like computers : if it's too hot, it will stop before it reaches a dangerous temperature.

Those are quite ok. If you include skype with voice/video calling ofcourse. I just get about 30-40 with just surfing and chatting facebook messenger skype/yahoo/viber on background
I'm fairly sure the CPU tends to downclock itself not because IT is getting too hot, but because it's generating too much heat for the battery. Almost all CPUs can easily withstand upwards of 80C. Batteries, on the other hand, can't.

How hot is too hot (gt-i9192)

My gt-i9192 can get a bit hot. Reaching even 45 Celsius when I am outside using for example the maps app (needs gps, data and wifi (it claims it makes GPS more accurate and it seems to do)). or a game or browsing the web. Specially if the environment temperature is high (I consider 25º or so "high" for environment temperature). I am not sure if 45 is too much or if it is just okay fine. It does get uncomfortable and the temperature guard app defaults at 40º for the "too hot" warning.

Keeping GPS on does get hot, particularly if you are using a navigation app. Depending on the games, some times it can be also demanding. But if you also get 45 degrees on browsing, than something is wrong.
You sure if the app is reporting the correct temperature? 45º should be warm to hold in hand (a feel-able temperature).

Sure, I feel the hotness.
I used to get 45 degrees while browsing if the environment temperature is hot. It hasn't happened in a while, recently I moved to a custom kernel, so maybe that fixed it.
My i9190 has been getting really hot lately, and whenever it does the battery drains crazy fast (about 35%/hr). Strange thing is, the task manager shows no apps consuming CPU nor RAM.
I had a similar problem with my old S2 that started after I had had it for about 9 months. At the start of a day battery consumption wasn't bad, but if I used it for an extended period of time it would heat up, and battery consumption seemed to rise linearly with the amount of heat the phone was emitting. There were incidents where it drained to half from full in a matter of less than an hour.
I welcome. I have i9192 and at me temperature at the game on facebook also achieved 45 "C and I returned it to the shop. At other users of this phone what temperature is while looking the Internet through??Can the shop he will accept the warranty??
Ah, I did forget one thing, since I didn't stay on original ROM for long. For those that are on original Samsung ROM, I guess it normal, since the default CPU governor is set on 'performance' mode. Your CPU is running on the highest speed all the time, and most original ROM does not enter deep sleep.
JoeCastellon: If you are on the original ROM, it would be your problem of battery drain. Using a custom Kernel or ROM like vexorian would solve your problem.
groda: Same, if you are on original ROM, running any app even if it not games, it would raise the temperature at a very rapid rate.
I thank for the reply. When install root and to lower the clocking of the processor? by the way, the new ROM will lower the temperature?
My latest "[doh this got too hot]" experience was on Sunday, I was using c0bain's kernel which AFAIK has the "on demand" governor.
I am now trying SilviuMik's ROM, will test during a week and see if the hotness happens again.

Custom/modified ROM or kernel will lower the temperature. Original Samsung ROM - no.
Which ROM you recommend?

Subjective... I use Slimrom myself. Note that flashing custom ROM/kernel will trip Knox if your phone has it.

For me a battery is overheating. I want install root and new kernel. I have a question. Which kernel will lower the temperature for me? As install new kernel could update whether I will be through wi fi??
The kernel itself will not magically lower the temperature. You will need to manually undervolt the cores to achieve that, which requires a custom kernel which supports undervolting.
Changing your kernel will prevent OTA updates, if that's what you're referring to with the update through WiFi
My cores are working now on the maximum. install the root can I lower the clocking of the processor this way?
It which kernel will be good for my i9192? What thread is it possible to find him in?
Yes with kernel and appropriate app you can adjust clock settings.
Not sure if 9192 has a custom kernel that supports this. Check the development subforums
Okay found one.

[Q] How much cpu temp is normal when playing heavy games?

I bought a Nexus 7 2013 refurbished 2 month ago. I noticed that when I play heavy games like World of tanks Blitz(everything max and shadow turned off) Modern combat 5, Nova 3 etc. My tablet gets very hot 80-95 celsius and like near burn my hands.Same on 4.4 stock and 6.0.1 stock,PureNexus with elemantalx kernel without oc. Is it normal or should I RMA it? Thanks for the answers. P.s :sorry for my bad english.
Anyone please help me. I know there is many question from heat but for me it's goes insane temptatures.

OK, get Antutu Benchmark, run the 15-min stress test, then in the app's info tab check battery's temperature. We'll compare it. Actually note the temperature before and after test.
Antutu measures only battery's temperature but for this test it is good enough, however do not recharge it during the test.

The tablet is not thermal throttling. If you have that turned off, turn it back on. I had it off on my lg g3 once and it hit 110°C while it was updating apps. Check the thermal tab in K.A

Question Overheat issue

Currently using xiaomi.eu and after 1 game of wild rift, my temp can reach 65c and all my cpu core reach max, is that my phone problem or setting problem? Thanks, it burns my finger
hi,
sorry to jump into your discussion but I would be interested to know what app you use to check cpu.
Thanks and again sorry for the intrusion.

hello, you should check for battery temps, using apps like Devinfo, my CPU is fluctuative too but the battery usually under 40 con light gaming, and up to 46c when playing genshin impact
