Anyone else noticed their Desire getting extremely hot? Noticed it when connected through Tmob UK HSDPA - haven't noticed at any other time but then I have only had the Desire a couple of days and have used it mainly on WiFi.
I noticed the bottom of the handset was getting VERY warm, as was the screen! Turned off sharpish and it's been alright since but then I haven't been on HSDPA again, only WiFi.
i thought it was just mine, also gets quite hot during charging as well.
mine too
hi, mine is very warm too, not only during charging. Battery gets hot after about hour, using wifi, installing, etc..
not just me then, that's a relief. Come to think of it I had just installed a few apps. Wondering if one of those could have caused it. It really was uncomfortable to hold and quite worrying!
Considering a hard reset just in case.
Got my desire yesterday...and I've been using it non stop...and its hotttt!!!

Hmm, I have been using it all day long as well ... but on Wi-Fi ... also played some games for couple of hours.
No hot .... Slightly warm yes, but un-notice-able.
I turned off almost everything:
- No auto-update
- Bluetooth OFF
- Animation off
- Always on off
- GPS off
Am I lucky?
My Battery is (apparently) running at 40.7C, and its not even warm to touch, God knows what yours may be at!
The cause may be the HSDPA, i remember when my S730 was getting really warm when connected through HSDPA, but when 3g or wifi was connected.
I dont think it will get too hot on wifi .. seemed to be just when I was on hsdpa. Not been on hsdpa since home tonight, only wifi and its not noticeably warm tonight.
Will see what happens tomorrow I guess. Maybe I should get a temp monitor ready!
Mine never gets hot over wifi, i've been using wifi only for about 10 days as i used my 1 GIG data bundle. It does get bit warm while charging and as soon as it charge to 100% then its cool as ice.
Generic one from CPW.
Welcome to smartphones . They all get hot these days, especially after an intense data session.

Obviously wern't as smart as your desire..... All my HTC's with big processors and integrated GPU's have got hot after long sessions. I'd say that the 200mhz processor wouldn't get very hot........... compared to a 1ghz processor.......
mine got really hot today, only noticed it after taking it out of the table, it then switched itself off, I actually thought phone went kaputs!
removed battery and left it for a few minutes to cool down and after switched it on no problems!

noob question
HSDPA is not same as 3G?

No.
HSDPA = 7.2Mbit/s
3G = 3.6Mbit/s
Doesn't get even luke warm for me under any usage scenario... around 30c is max I've yet seen under videoing loads with WiFi and a bunch of other things running. Had this for 2 weeks now.

Was just pointing out that I've used smartphones for some time, not necessarily making a direct comparison. Same processor as the HD2 though and that never reached the blistering temp my Desire seemed to reach yesterday.
Odd, not done it since, even on hsdpa so perhaps it was a hungry app after all!
Mine getting hot everyime I use 3G data connection. even 10-15 mins and the back will be hot, getting hotter with further use.....
Normal our faulty set
I think it's quite normal they get hot. Also depends on how you use the device (what kind of connection etc) and how good the signal is.
If you charge your device at the same time you use a heavy data connection and/or playing a game I guess the battery will get quite warm!
Hi.
Recently my Nexus (GSM) is getting way too hot even when doing normal stuff like browsing the gallery or surfing the web.
I tried full wiping and installed different ROMs and Kernels but it didn't solve the issue. (Without even installing any app or restoring any backup)
I noticed that this mainly happens when I turn on my Wi-Fi.
Any help/tip will be greatly appreciated.
Make sure your not over locked in the rom your running or replace your battery. Even take it into the store and get a replacement its a manufacture issue

Cm9 with default kernel keeps mine cool. Switching to Franco's kernel(milestone 3) makes it hot even when just listening to offline podcast and screen off. It overclocks from 1.2 to 1.34.
Try cm9

Verizon nexus same problem
I've noticed with my Verizon Nexus that i run into the same problem some times. When i have 4g hotspot on and it is plugged in to the wall charger it gets really hot. But the first time I noticed it getting hot was in my car running Google nav and trying to listen to music through the radio at the same time. I was thinking it might have been the defroster heating it up because it was right above my vents. But I've been noticing it at home a lot. Well anyway I'm gonna try running some different kernels.
In the VZW Galaxy Nexus (and I assume others, but there are some variation), the top part of the phone, around the camera, is where the processor, wifi radio, and LTE radio, are all located. If you're doing anything data intensive on wifi or lte, you'll notice a warmup. If you're doing anything on both, it will probably get hotter. I have a scheduled Titanium Backup run every night at 3am, and then have it upload to dropbox. It gets a bit warm, but cools back down to idling temps shortly after.
My CPU runs @ 65 degrees when Im browsing, im pretty sure thats not normal
After about 30 minutes of continuous use, the top half (especially the top inch) of my phone is extremely hot. I have LTE, wifi, and Bluetooth disabled with the brightness on minimum. Not sure what is causing this. Running AOKP b38 with stock CPU settings. What's up with this?

If you just got the phone, get it replaced, that's all I can tell you. You can try to bring it back to stock first.
My first Nexus also gets really hot, although it was the GSM version, different roms and kernel has no effect. I got it replaced and the second one doesn't get so hot anymore.
I see that you have a Galaxy S III, maybe get rid of the Nexus and just stick with the SIII.
You could have an app constantly running in the background eating processes.

GSIII is only pre-ordered. Just want to make sure my Nexus is problem-free before selling it in the next couple weeks.

I've noticed my phone seems to run hotter with AOKP Build 38 as well. Not sure if its just the Kernel (usually run Francos but am using the one that came with AOKP this time) or what.
One thing I have noticed and its probably not the same for you... is that my exchange account I have synced will periodically lose its account and resync from scratch. I'm running CPU at 1420 right now and when it does this sync my phone definitely gets warm. I even tried running at the stock 1200 and phone still gets fairly warm. With Francos on my previous ROMs my phone never really got too hot running 1365 Mhz.
I find that the Franco Updater widget is helpful for keeping track of CPU settings. You can tap it to update it and get realtime CPU freq reporting
Depends on how you define extremely hot for your Gnex,
If your on 4G LTE (constant to continous use of data, e.g streaming, browsing or downloading) the device being hot (feel to touch) should be normal, I would say around 38-45 celcius
This may also depend on ambient temperatures
Hello all
This is my first post and Galaxy Nexus is my first Android phone.
So, when i bought my GNex it was on stock and I use Stock ROM about 3 days. In that period he never get any warm - not even whet I play Angry Birds RIO for about 30min.
Then my brother install me latest AOKP ROM and Franco kernel - great stuff, but now I feel heat around camera
I use TempMonitor PRO app and this is my results :
all apps close, not starting anything - around 32C
Gallery, cam, some apps started and closed - from 38 to 42C
Playing games (Angry birds RIO, Space, Sentinel HD) - 48 to 52C
My question is this :
Is that normal temp? How does Stock didn't heat that much
Tnx and i hope this will help if someone have the same question
Hi,
Your CPU temp is absolutely normal,no worries.And while playing games it's even perfect.
How does Stock didn't heat that much

You're not stock now...
After it depends at what CPU freq you're running,voltage,ambient temperature,etc...but here it's perfect.
I just posted in another users similar thread about their phone getting hot (he said "extremely" hot so hes likely going way past your temps). I too have found my phone to be warmer when running AOKP Build 38. I've run the Stock ROM and LiquidSmooth with Francos Kernel (also tried Provision briefly but it had some issues I couldnt overlook). AOKP gets the hottest by far for me (both at stock CPU and OC to 1420).
I plan on switching ROMs again soon and will take note of temp then
If you use a less feature rich rom you might have less heat issues.
I suggest using the trinity kernel together with a cm9 rom.

Your temps are fine but if you want to find something a little "cooler" try out different combinations. For me, CM9 and Trinity Stable 65 at 1344/384 stays pretty cool while gaming. Ultimately it is going to be a factor of your clock speed. You can adjust the frequency of your CPU back down to 1200 (1190?) and you'll see the temp difference. You might also see it slow down during certain UI interactions. Just play around with it, but your phone is still considered in the safe zone at those temps. They have thermal protection built into the kernels as well so even if something crazy happened your CPU would back off until cooldown and if it can't cooldown, it'll shut off for you but that would be a very rare condition. I've never had it happen and I've ran at 1650Mhz for a long time.
Tnx all for info. Great help!
Hmm it would be nice to get back to Stock but to keep root and maybe to install franco kernel... What you say about that?
It's iritating to play game 5 min or look pic in gallery and to feel heat in phone!
One more thing because I'm new in this stuff :
How to get back to Stock? Is it hard?
Your CPU is probably overclocked, don't worry, as long as it stays UNDER 55 degrees C, nothing will happen, if however, it goes over, it will burn your hand, if you're unlucky, it happened to me, with my GS II...

Hi,
Why under 55°C???
The stock temp limit before thermal throttling is 64°C and in Francisco's kernel it's at 75°C.
And the max before the CPU shutdown is 110°C...The extreme protection and the extreme overheating
So above 55°C no worries...In any case if you don't disable the CPU temp limit (like in some kernels->Morfic,Glados and eventually Francisco but not (yet) in his app) you're good and before 110°C->thermal throttling->lower CPU freq according to the CPU Temp limit.
His CPU temp is actually normal,don't say stays under 55°C....56/57/58/59°C,etc...to 64°C or 75°C,no problem unless you stay at 75°C during 1 hour...
With that you said the guy no longer used his phone for browsing 5 mins in the sun...

55 is a very low number and i would suspect most stock GNexs would go above that routinely under heavy load.
I've had my phone up to 66 and its nowhere near burning. Its warm to the touch and thats about it. Now if you are somehow putting your hand directly on the CPU (i.e. not possible) then yes that might feel much warmer.
Basically if you manage to burn yourself on your phone either its already fried or someone lit it on fire
After playing ShadowGun around 15min I get temp. around 65C?! That is really hot - for me!
I think to get back to Stock... This is way hot for me. What you say about that?
Can anyone post link how to get back to Stock? Guys this is my first android phone and if I get bootloop I will get a heart attack, really I will get one

Honestly don't be afraid of boot loops as you can most likely still get into recovery if that happens and all it takes it's a bad download of a ROM or forgetting that such and such kernel is incompatible. Be afraid of bricks and soft bricks lol. Although if you take the time to read before doing anything you'll be fine. Also just download a sick image for your phone from the tool kit to go back to stock. That's the easiest way.

Hi,
65°C after playing 15 mins of an "intensive" 3D game...I don't see where is the problem...It's absolutely normal...
How can your CPU temp will be at 50/55°C (about,for example) after playing 15 mins of game???
You hope what temperature?
Which cpu frequency?GPU?Undervolt?
Don't focus much on your CPU temp,if it's overheated->thermal throttling...And in extreme situation...just a reboot...
It will be the same thing with the stock kernel,you will get the same temperature under the same conditions (playing)...
Unfortunately that's the way it is right now with dual core phones. My phone regularly gets too hot to even touch when playing games for over 30 minutes. I called to speak with samsung about it and they pretty much brushed it off as normal. I'm running on cm 9 with a franco kernel

hi there i got a used galaxy nexus from someone and installed android me 4.1.1 (version 1.6)
now my problem is, when playing intense graphic games (GTA III or dead trigger) i notice the fps drop and rise in the game.
At first I thought the game itself was lagging due to too much happening on screen (such as more characters) but it was not the case.
The game would be silky smooth for 10 seconds then choppy fps for the next 30 seconds... rise and repeat..
it seems the cpu keeps underclocking/overclocking itself... i even tried force closing all my apps before running the game and it helped with the fps a bit but the throttling is still there....
anyone had any similar issues and knows how to fix it?
edit: forgot to add, does your phone get really hot behind the LED FLASH when gaming? Mine gets really hot even on the screen too (On that side of the phone away from the battery)
Stock rom? custom rom?
sorry its custom rom (android me version 1.6 july 29th)
although i briefly remember this happening on the stock rom too so I don't think its a rom issue...
hard to say i can't post in the developer section yet... so i guess here to find out if people are having issues with the stock?
stock kernel if that makes a difference
Wow am I the only one with these symptoms? Hot screen and lagging frame rates? Since no one is replying maybe my CPU has cooling problems? Bit there is no fan haha

Any news about your problem? I have the same problem with jelly beans stock. Playing the game agent dash when the nexus is cold is fine when it is warm slows down, like a drop performance. How did you solve it? excuse my English

same problem also there are many persons with this problem.I'm on stock 4.1.1
If the CPU runs hot ( > 64 degrees Celsius), thermal throttling will kick in by reducing CPU clock speed. Works as designed.
You're not the only one who faces this problem - I face it on the stock ROM. The only way to alleviate this issue (not entirely, but to quite an extent) is to overclock your GPU - which means using another kernel that's clocked at 384mhz... which, for me, seems to break VPN (at least it breaks it on Air Kernel - Faux works for a while, then stalls... I don't know the nitty gritty, but that's what seems to happen - YMMV).
I had a thought: what if we enabled GPU acceleration in the developer options and then played it - do you think that'll make a difference? It does, generally speaking, make a difference to the other programs (apart from breaking some )
