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 Honor 8 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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I have not experience any form of heating where I could bake anything, but enough to make me aware of it. Of course heat during mapping is normal, gaming wise....I actually think it has been descent. Played Asphalt 8 for a good 30 minutes (thats my gaming time frame on regular basis) with nothing out of the norm. Could be better.

It's probably due to the Kirin SoC, which is power efficient.

I always suspect it at much, though I find myself lacks of love to Kirin SoC due to almost no progress on custom development, and some sites reported poor performance of it, but I myself, who never play (or have any intention to play) any games on mobile device, use them strictly to communication usage (and some web surfing), I find Huawei's tradeoff performance over heat and battery life might very good concept.
I never care about synthetic benchmarks. I just need a device that can last long and stays cool all the times with my activities, and it never lags. My most demanding tasks might be watching 3-7 minutes of YouTube's videos for some times or navigating the roads with GPS.
But just like almost anyone else here, I can't stand the EMUI, just no. Still hoping Huawei will fully support custom dev with their new commitment.

tends to warm up a lil bit, bt no overheating.

Glad to know there is no overheating.

Mine gets really hot when you work the camera(s).

Every single phone on the market will overheat. Some overheat very easily, and some take a while, but is not a one that will not get hot until it melts (even if it takes months of you playing asfault to do it ). If you wanted a practical answer though.... no, my friend has one and it doesn't get too hot when playing a game on it for a few hours.

Once I almost burned my hand while playing on my OnePlus One and charging it. This phone keeps lower temperatures than my OPO so that's a plus for me.

This is a topic I am really interested.
My present phones, the LG G2 and the OnePlus One, get really hot, specially in the Summer. The LG G2 is the worst, as it has everything in the same place, and the Snapdragon 800 is a little less refined than the 801.
I do not play on my smartphone, and I only use GPS once a month.
I use my phone to comunicate (call, text, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Viber), track my packages (Deliveries), watch some videos on YouTube and search quickly something on the internet.
I am a light user, but when I do something, that thing needs to be done quickly and right.
So, heat is a no-no for me.
This SoC seems to be a better option, even against the Snapdragon 820, which was my previous SoC of choice.

Actually this Honor 8 tends to get warm. And when you use the camera for some minutes it gets really really hot in the upper part.

What do you mean by using the camera?
- Having it open while trying the features;
- Taking multiple shots;
- Making a video;
- Taking HDR photos; or
- Other use, please describe your usage.

Simply having it open. It overheats very quickly. Seems to be an issue with Huawei p9 too, an owner told me.

In my opinion, I suspect that is a software issue.
To have a better performance and take pictures very quickly, the CPU and GPU are taken to the limit and have a more aggressive governor and higher minimum frequency.

I don't know. Could be for the dual camera though. Whose usefulness, by the way, is at least dubious.

Yes, I agree.
At least on the heating problem.
From the review of Pocketnow, it is clear than it has a positive affect on the dynamic range of the photos. HDR becomes obsolete, which is a good thing, as HDR uses more power from the phone, takes more time and requires to be still for longer.

Look, I've experimented with the cameras in every light condition. Covering the mono sensor and leaving it active. I myself could not really tell a single difference between the photos taken.I really don't.

I don't know how you are getting it hot. I have played games. Used the light for extended periods of time. Used maps. Camera, video. It has never been as hot as other phones I have used.

Note 7 temps

I got my phone a few days ago, and I'm somewhat dissapointed cause it always feels like it's running hot. I've never had this problem on my S7 edge. Just doing some browsing and its in the 94F range. Is this normal?

While it runs a little warm when charging, I've not noticed any excessive heat unless I'm doing something computationally intensive (Ex: transcoding video). But I know of one person that returned hers because of the heat. Have you checked to see if any applications are using excessive CPU cycles or are consuming the battery faster than others?

I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. I'm barely using my phone to see if its gonna start to cool down but it's just consistenly in the 90F range with light use. I wanted to see how others experience are with their phones before I decide if I want to exchange it.

Depends on the ambient temperature, is that the temperature of the battery? If yes then it sounds ok to me.
You should download GSam and monitor the temperature. Since its made out of glass and metal, it will appear hotter to touch than a plastic phone.

Here ya go, note 7 recall due to fire Risk.
Samsung is recalling the Galaxy Note 7 worldwide over battery problem
http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/technology/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall/index.html

Hope it doesn't explode lol
I would disable fast charging and turn on power saver.
Just to be safe.
Also don't wireless charge.
If yours is affected by the battery explosion issue, then don't risk it.
Wait for recall instructions and play it safe.

LOL. Yeah thanks guys, guess I'll return mine then and wait for them to make some new ones, sucks cause I really like the phone and already put in a screen protector and case

Boom!

Is this phone simply... warm?

Does this phone feel warm in your hands most of the time? (Except when idle). Mine is warm. Not hot, but warm every time I use it. Should I be concerned? Or is this a feature for coming winter? It is a replacement. And the first one was mostly the same actually.

If we consider the performance of this mobile and compare it with a lap top or table PC I think it outstanding how cool this mobile runs.
Remember there is no cooling system. Now look at the cooling systems on similar devices.
All flag ship uber mobile devices can get warm under load. I have owned hundreds of mobiles and all powerful models run warm when pushed.
My Samsung Galaxy S6Edge plus runs warmer than my note 7 and my Samsung galaxy S6 ran even warmer.
No cause for concern.
Ensure you only use Samsung chargers designed for the Note 7 to charge the Note 7. NEVER charge any phone using a third party charger.
Enjoy your lovely Note 7, incredible device.

Thanks for your opinion. However, it is warm not only under heavy use, just when browsingy reading news, checking email... normal use. Just feels warm in my hands, that is all.

If you have a genuine concern you should return your device to your store and request they examine it. Cant lose a thing by doing that if it puts your mind at rest.

The phone's temperature is a measure of how fast the battery is draining. Expected energy consumption depends on what apps and services you may have running in the background, in addition to what's actually on your screen at the moment. So you should look at the battery-usage data (in Settings|Device Maintenance|Battery) and see what apps are responsible.
When my phone is idle, it is cool to the touch and the battery temperature is around 27C.

Nothing special, just apps that I am mostly using. No apparent drain.
Mine is cool when idle too, but warm the rest of the time.

Use "GSam battery monitor" and see what temperatures the battery reaches when you are using it. It should feel more warm than other phones cause its made out of metal/glass.

That is a brilliant explanation about the glass thing, why didn't I figure this out? So it kind of is a feature for winter .
Well I used another app and battery shows at about 34 degrees C, CPU shows around 45 degrees. The highest I saw for a second was over 60 degrees (CPU) when downloading apps.

Don't forget that the screen also produces a fair amount of heat...especially when the brightness is cranked up.
Sent from my SM-G928F using XDA-Developers mobile app

I considered that. But strangely it feels warmer on the top half of the phone.

If you dont tell us the tempreture how do you expect any useful feedback?
We accepct C or F

Umm, I did, bottom post on page 1.

mine is actually mostly "cold". although it's rooted, debloated and i'm using the hydra kernel. Battery life is amazing...

I've never had mine hot, even when playing games it's cool. When charging, it's cool. I'm going to try a stress test and take some readings see what happens I think. But I'm not worried about it heating up a bit.

I believe this is a little to warm for minor task such as download apps, browsing, text messaging...etc, though I also think these temps shouldn't worry you as long as 60 is the highest you see under full load just my 2 cents.

You're missing a really important detail, the ambient temperature. You should measure the difference between ambient temperature and the battery temperature. Comparing the battery temperature across different devices in different parts of the word is not accurate or fair.

True, its been that hot here this year, 43, that even the chickens laid hard boiled eggs!
Ryland

my n7 v1 was warm and the battery lasted forever.
my n7 v2 is noticeably hot, and the battery drains 20% faster, which seems to be the most common complaint in the news.
Samsung has not addressed this. The phone was much hotter when first setup, and after a few hours seems to settle.
I'm sure rooted, and debloated its a little cooler.

What temperature is your Pixel XL operating at?

I started another thread that has yielded zero useful information so I thought I would be very explicit this time about what I am looking for. I'm trying to figure out if I should RMA my device or not. My device is currently 98F in a 70F room and I'm doing nothing but typing this message. This seems like a high temperature to me but for all I know it's normal for this device. If other people who use battery monitor apps that include device temperature readings could let me know what temp their Pixel XL is operating at I would appreciate it and it will help me decide whether I should RMA this device or not. Thanks in advance if anyone actually responds with useful information.

31C at 26C

That's the same temp as mine after conversion. Maybe that's a normal temp for this phone. Thanks for the response!

The Pixel is designed really differently than my previous phones so I'm having trouble figuring out what is normal on a Pixel. The CPU frequencies that this phone operates at would result in a significant performance lag on my previous phone, for example, but with the Pixel they result in the phone running very smooth and fast.

I have not messed with my frequencies, I'm running OctOS with the Elemental kernel at whatever it ships at.
so I went ahead and let my phone sit in my center console on my way home. for some reason the sun cooks this area of my truck and it's hot to touch even with the AC. After my trip home in 103F weather it was at 42C and did not shut down (I was streaming music over bluetooth from amazon music)

Idle : 30 - 35 C (phone goes below 30 C only when not used for more than 15-20 mins in a very cool room).
Medium Load: 35-40 C
Charging in the car, Charging while using Chrome etc: 40-44 C
Heavy Load: 42-48 C
I have owned Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 6p previously. This phone definitely runs hotter than all of them.
I got a replacement from Google, but it is the same problem.

I don't have air conditioning in my car, it was very hot outside, the phone was sitting in a cradle in direct sunlight and I was using the car charger, GPS and Spotify all at the same time--so it's possible my phone got much hotter than 42C when it did shut down. But I used my Nexus 6P and Samsung Galaxy S3 and S6 under identical circumstances and none of them ever overheated and shut down. They also didn't run anywhere near as hot as the Pixel XL when idle. My phone is generally 90-100F in an air conditioned apartment when I'm doing absolutely nothing with it--and multiple people have responded with similar temps for their own phones. If the idle temp for the phone is that high it's going to get super hot when using it under more demanding circumstances.

No problem. Have you observed higher battery drain when the CPU heats up? I'm not sure phones are meant to be that hot. I haven't seen any other flagship heating up so much.

Yes, mine get to 100-105 F range quickly on battery temperature.
Yesterday I had the following youtube, whatsapp, Browser and Gmail - I was switching back and forth and the phone was on 43 C (110 F), (granted I had 1080p video on and was chatting to a friend as well and responding to emails).. I had to then clear all apps and stop using the phone to allow it to cool down. The CPU temperature was over 58 C (measured using elemental X kernal with root access).
Something is wrong with either the 2 NEW Pixel XL phones that Google has provided me OR with the Pixel XL phone in general. There has to be a hardware problem. Maybe some phones are worse than others? Maybe it is a quality control issue?

Thank you. EXKM will put a persistent notification.
I would be very interested to know what your temperatures are under mid-heavy load : both the battery temp and CPU temp.
It's basic knowledge that heat destroys processors and other circuits. I have to use coolers and thermal paste etc in my home computer when it gets too hot. I can't see why it would be different for a phone.

The phone is known to get very hot with Daydream. I'm more concerned with how hot the phone gets under normal operating conditions. My battery goes from 80F to 100F in seconds if I do anything as light as surfing the Internet, reading my email, browsing the XDA app or using the EBay app. 100F seems to be the base temperature of my battery if I am using the phone for anything. I suspect that Google knows these phones won't last more than a couple years. I'm not sure if I should wait to find out or just get rid of this thing while it still works. At least in the Nexus phones you had the option of flashing a custom kernel and changing the governor so the phone would run cooler. You can't do that with the Pixel--the phone runs at the same temps or even worse on a custom kernel. I already tried. I've never owned one but I'm curious if the Pixel XL runs significantly warmer than an iPhone. Or for that matter a flagship Samsung phone--other than the one that blew up, obviously.

I'm not concerned with safety. I'm sure the Pixel is perfectly safe. I'm concerned this phone is going to eventually bootloop like the Nexus 6P, the Nexus 5X and multiple LG phones. I'm not one of those people who wants to have the latest of everything and if I spend a small fortune on something I actually want it to last for a long time. I do appreciate the links you provided and will look at the info later. Thanks.

Question Oneplus 11 overheating / poor gaming performance

Just got my Oneplus 11 CPH2451 on the A09 build and I'm seemingly running into quite a bit of overheating on the device. Wondering if anyone else is running into the same issue.
From all accounts and various reviews this phone is suppose to run fairly cool especially with the 8 Gen 2 chipsets. But it heats up just booting up (cpu hitting 70+ degrees) and will feel pretty warm to the touch.
Gaming wise, running Brawlstars, which shouldn't be a graphic intensive game, for prolongs periods of time (15 mins+) will cause the cpu to hit 80+ degrees and battery to 40+ with the phone getting visibly hot and starting to thermal throttle. Even before that kicks in, game will frequently experience bouts of fps drops from 100+ to 60 and this is with forced 120Hz turned on.
I've tried resetting the phone and going back to A06 build and still experience the same overheating problem. Tried various geekbench and wildlife benchmark and it is getting comparative scores as other reviews so the phone should be peforming up to par.
All this is coming from an OP8T with the nameless rom which runs the game super smooth and does not heat up crazily like the OP11. This makes it all the more frustrating as the newer phone with the newer chipset seems to perform worse across the board. In many ways it seems like OOS13 is just poorly optimized and a better kernel and OS will fix the problem.
Also tried the same game on S23U (same 8 Gen 2 chipset) and it ran as cool as a cucumber.
A quick google search does not net much overheating issues on the OP11 so I'm wondering if this is specific to my device.
Anyone suggestions as to how to alleviate the problem would be greatly appreciated.

80° cpu and 40° battery temp when you play
But let's ask how warm it is in your area (ask them because, for example, many people from India complain but do not take into account that it is sometimes 38-40c° warm in India, which means that the battery and cell phone in general are already very warm and thus much earlier the thermal engine throttles because there is not much air left)

This is in LA, so around 50-70 F or 10-20C. CPU runs at fairly okay temperature around 30-40C for normal day to day use (texting, redditing...). It's just a stark contrast from my OP8T or S23U since I pretty much don't notice those phones heating up but with OP11 I can consistently feel it gets warm.

My experience has been that this phone stays cool all the time no matter what I am doing.. Even Genshin maxed out.

Vapor chambers can be defective straight from the factory. Just ask AMD 7900XTX owners dealing with the issue on their new $1K+ video cards.

Vapor chamber is used to spread heat. It is not some magic material which makes heat disappear.

Thanks for sharing! I was able to get my hands on a second OP11, ran brawlstars on it and the phone heats up almost exactly the same way with similar temperature measurements. Maybe the game is just poorly optimized on OOS13.
Also tried transferring apps and data over and CPU hit over 70+ degrees as well. Looks like the temps im seeing is normal unless somehow I got my hands on back to back defective units.

The best solution i can give u is to buy a peltier cooler i.e Oneplus 18W freezing point, Oneplus 11 has a very good passive cooling and with a good peltier you wont have such issues

thanks for the solution but dont think i do enough serious gaming on the phone to warrant a cooler. Just a bit disappointed and surprised at the overheating and throttling despite oneplus touting it having one of the better cooling systems out there. Since it happened on both OP11 I got my hands on, I'm going to attribute this to more of a software than hardware issue as other phones with same chipsets don't seem to have overheating problems.
