Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Nextbit Robin stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Can get hot if using Quick Charge and playing a game at the same time, with the hottest point being the back near the cloud logo. It's noticeably hot, but doesn't seem any more so than other phones.

Getting quite hot for me during general use. On occasion barely doing that much as well. I think the CPU could do with some custom kernel love to try some undervolting and governor tweaking to help.

I think it might have to do with the fingerprint sensor. Mine gets hot with screen time.

My Robin used to get hot but not much anymore with the newer updates.

Mine gets really hot when playing Pokémon go, but I think it's because of being a bad optimized app.

My Robin gets hot no matter what ROM I am using. I have tried stock, AOSPA, Lineage and Omni. I emailed Nextbit customer support about this issue when I first got my Robin (when they still did email support). I went through the battery tests they suggested (FCQ (*#*#6721#*#* on the stock ROM) and Ampere) and provided them with screenshots. They stated that the temps I was showing in the screenshots of the battery tests I performed were 'normal' for the device.
I have found that the Robin is really sensitive to the temperature of the environment that it is in. On hot days, under mild use, the device gets very hot (like battery temps around 110-116 F).
At this point, it is what it is. I think that the excessive heat is a combination of a processor that is known to run a bit hot, combined with the materials that the phone is made of.

I had it to film a concert (sound is ruined on any videos, pictures ok..ish) But the thing, it was incredible hot, i had to stop using it during the concert and it felt like it burned a hole in my pocket for a bit after i turned it off, and it also gets reallly hot around the fingerprint sensor, and the display itself was like a pocket warmer.
Might been cause i used a Thick and robost phone case, cause i am afraid i break it anytime i put in my pocket....
Send it back to amazon and got my money back now. (Bought it just when it dropped to 100$, now its gone from amazon.de.. lol)

I use mine as a coffee maker

I have not noticed any excessive heat. Probably the coolest of all my past phones.

Agree it has been the coolest phone I have owned. The other phones I have owned have both got very hot which has made the phones very slow (CPU throttling?). The Axon 7 has stayed quite cool to the touch even when using things like GPS and camera.
Nexus 6p (toaster)
Oneplus One (hot)
HTC M7 (hot)
iPhone 5s (mild)
Axon 7 (cool)

Warm/Hot
Got my Axon 7 today been using it for a few hours was warm throughout my usage, gave it a charge and was really warm/hot. Battery life wasn't all that great either, people are getting 5-6 SOT with a full charge, it came with 85% out of the box and used it for around 2~2.5 hours and it was down to 20% with brightness below 50% wasn't impressed. I'm hoping it'll get better with more use as this phone is pretty great

If you play all day of course you wont get 6 hrs of SoT.

Yup and Yup....
Comparing the Axon 7 to previous devices, A7 win by a long shot.
I play PSP Games (this is hard on CPU+GPU) and doesn't transform into a toaster.

I've gotten 6.5 hours of screen on time, but this is with conservative use: web browsing/video watching with extremely low brightness settings.
When playing Star Wars KOTOR, I've only gotten ~3.5 hours of play time. Brightness heavily affects the drain speed.

it gets barely warm enough to notice it working at all.

Got hot in pocket while doing nothing, GSam showed 38-40 celsius. Started today, exactly after 1 week when I got it. While using it it gets warm a little, but nothing serious compared to my old phones.

Axon 7 Battery Temperature
Hi guys my Axon 7 is running the latest update (7.1.1) and my battery's temperature is 29°c when idling and the room's temperature is also 29°c, but when I start using social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat ,it gets around 37° and if I use Chrome for web surfing it gets around 40°c, so is this normal for Axon 7? And also if I use so heavy multitasking like downloading over mobile data, watch online videos , two sims both activated , and ten other apps open at the same time but no games , the temperature sometimes goes up to 45°c. What is your Axon 7's battery temperature in different situations?please also mention the room temperature that you're in. ( to see the temperature go to settings/ power manager/ battery cooling)

With Gsam Battery, it says 43 celcius when charging or reddit/games...
It was under 35c a few weeks ago

It is normal for many phones.
And the temp alert settings of the axon7 are very useful as I sit in sunlight very often and most times forget about phone temperature

My Axon 7 heats up fast when I used aze
The battery monitor reports overheat warning after 20 minutes of using the GPS app called Waze. The temp would reach 46°C easily. I don't get this issue when I use the Google Map.

I have seen temperatures in excess of 50C when in direct sunlight in my hot car while using GPS (no A/C in my car).
Playing Hearthstone in my warm room can exceed 40C, which is where I have the warning set to.
I hope I'm not slowly killing the device or battery...

My A2017G gets a little hot (but definitely usable) when charging. Unplug it and it'll cool down pretty quickly.
But then that might be because I keep the phone on all the time (got an always-on screen app running just for screen-off OK Google)

This phone doesn't get hot. You guys don't know what's hot until you have used a Xperia M4 Aqua
My Xperia M4 Aqua could reach temps of steady 82C while gaming and 74C while watching Youtube

I've been getting issues using mine as a GPS with here maps. Battery heat warnings and yes, it felt hot, not to mention the app is causing navigation problems a lot.
Installed TomTom, see if it works better. It has some better UI and settings already.
If it doesn't run cooler I might buy a dedicated GPS but really don't want another device in the car.....

That's really weird, my phone never gets hot while using GPS and driving. Are you sure you're not putting the phone in direct sunlight?

Yeah, of course it had sun on it. You need it able to access GPS signal reliably for good navigation.
It was in a screen mount. I was using it heaps today on TomTom app with much more success and less heat. Seems there's something not right with Here Maps.

You don't need the sunlight directed onto the device.
I got a mount on my with a shieldscreen to protect it from sunlight so it won't get cooked. I am guessing you're enjoying a cooked phone while driving

Got the phone today, and it feels very cold to the touch. Most of the heat It gained was from my own hands... though it is winter. I then put a silicon transparent case, and after setting everything up I did some google cardboard vr for around 30 minutes and felt a light warmth through the case... barely noticeable.

Mine is getting pretty warm after rooting, making a nandroid backup, and flashing xposed. Not quite uncomfortable, but very noticeable.

My phone has only heated up a couple of times, and that was when I really used it, games and such.. Otherwise it's really "dead" to the touch.

If you want to heat it up, use some benchmarks, or if you want to be more productive, use mapillary outside and photomap your area around.

Yes.. it's getting heated very often even I use for 5mins.. I got phone today only(23-12-2016). Please suggest a solution.

For me its exact the same thing...

Of course its gonna heat up if your cpu and gpu are working at max speed all the time.. its normal
First day when I flashed custom rom, installed all apps, rooted, twrp and all that it was hot to the touch because the reason above but now when I use it in a normal way its actually cold to the touch most of the times and I love that

I rooted mine and installed a rom really got hot then I changed to a different rom and it is very cool now.

OnePlus 3T is a really cool device. I suggest users to buy it. It has very cool features like Fingerprint access, Camera etc.
But if anyone gets Official TWRP for Android 7.0 for OnePlus 3T, Please tell me*

Never felt any kind of heat through the case (Orzly 2-part case).
Never been an issue.

i have noticed it's evenly warm when it shouldn't be. try enabling "Auto close high power usage apps" battery options.
the description makes me laugh. engrish.
"When it runs, the system auto clean up background power-hungry apps , prevent phone from getting hot."

It doesn't warm up much, if at all, for me, but I am using a rom that underclocks the CPU which could be the primary reason for this.

On 3.5.4 I would have occasional heating after a phone call. Battery stats would show that the phone was using the CPU for extended periods after the call had ended. Usually a deep clean of the ram would solve it. Sometimes it didn't solve and then a reboot would solve the problem. Phone was completely stock.
It was comparatively very cool throughout with the CPU temps being in the mid 20s or low 30s even during charging at 3.4A with the dash charger!

Heating issue
Got my phone few days ago its heating when i am playing clash of clans but otherwise no issues in normal mode.

Nvm

The phone stays cool to the touch even under heavy gaming. (Max 35C on cpu)

Heating hasn't been an issue so far. Had an app causing constant 70% CPU usage and the device was just slightly warm

my phone getting hot sometimes idk why

Any manufacter could make a super cool phone by just setting an agressive thermal profile. Oneplus 3/3T doesnt throttle at all, not with gaming. The phone gets warm, but you have to consider that it's using his full potencial. I prefer a hot phone (not the case) than a cool phone with half of the power the soc offers.

Heats up very quickly through normal use and ambient weather temperature, struggles to lose the temperature then begins to lag.

Same here, even with Marshmallow and Nougat during normal use. Actually with Oreo seems no problem

it has been the same when ambient temperature is high the phone simply cant handle the heat and u can have marshmalow or oreo no mather what it wont help...phone starts to lag to a point when u have to turn it off for few mins and the use it again...it has beeen like this since xperia z3+/4 and z5 with SD810 under the hood...Sony is very bad at reducing heat in there devices...i compared other devices with same chipset and even if they get warm or hot they still work like they should...why Sony offers us a highend phone with lowend capabilities...i remember the perfomance of my xperia z2...4k recording up to 1 hour no problem ,i could play games more then hour and the phone got warm sometimes even hot to touch but it worked with no LAGS....and last one most anoying is the screen input touch ,just go ahead and compare every phone u can with xperia and ull notice the lag in the screen input...so bad from Sony also XZ is probably my last xperia and i had Z,Z2,Z5 they were good but the competition is far better.and last one Xperia phones should sell for winter gadgets,couse u can warm up ur hands if u need to LOL...cheers guys

My phone stopped recording 4K video after 2 minutes with error messages about heat. Had to close camera app for 5 mintues to be able to record another 1 minute. Completely hopeless phone.

I tried to play heavy games like Asphalt 8, PUBGM and Mobile Legends, It reaches like 50-60 degree celsius to the point where I can't even hold the phone. When recording only in 720p / 1080p, it warns me that the phone is overheating and disables some of the functionality and the room temperature is at 15-18 degree celcius

I wasted my money buyiny this crap. I can't ever use the camera due to overheat & it shuts down. Thanks to a G-camera 5.0 version that works withouy camera 2 api enabled. So anyone can use that without adb or flash. That's 5.0 version G-camera saved me. Else I would have never able to use Camera itself in my phone. But apps & games? Omg. I have become a optimization expert using this phone. Through choosing apps among many for the same category of Functionality. Bcz everything lags due to a small 3GB ram. Only marshmallow did it lagged. But since Android 7 lag & heat has become a part of this device. So now others ask me apps for a cetrgory which is most optimized & I suggest them. ? ?

its not lag because 3gb ram, its thermal throttling. known issue with Sony camera app is all clocks max out.

I have had this phone for a few days now, and this has been my biggest complaint. Playing more demanding games like COD mobile or genshin impact causes the system to get very warm to the touch. The system doesn't get to the point of heavy thermal throttling or overheating, but it does get uncomfortable to hold for extended periods. First flagship-specced device in a couple of years, so maybe it is just my ignorance on the topic, but it is a bit concerning for the lifespan of the components.

I've had my OnePlus 8 for about 5 months. Was a T-Mobile version that I converted to global and has never ever had an issue with heat, even while gaming. I don't use a case, device runs cool even under heavy load. To be fair, I use radioactive kernel instead of stock.

With regular usage the phone remains cool. Playing Genshin at 60fps and moderate settings seems to cook every device, so it's not unique to our phone. At 30fps it's much, much better. I'll have to test other games like Pascal's Wagner or GRID.
