[Q] Galaxy Nexus really HOTTTTTT!!!!!

I don't know why is my Galaxy Nexux (Sprint) has been getting so hot. I unlock the boot loader and then root with SDK . I installed Cyanogemod 9 and I like to play two game in my GN Bat Walk, Briscola and there where my GN go's up getting as up to 129c. I tryed some other roms and kernels but no change. I'm right now with Paranoidandroid. Any Help will be appreciated.

You ever try using an app like setcpu to check your MHz settings?

129C? As in ~250F?
I think you're a bit off there, but make sure your not downloading anything over mobile data.
Playing HD video makes your GPU or CPU (based on rendering methods) hotter. Sometimes very hot to the touch.
If there's a evident dip in battery life, then it could be an issue with the CPU running when off.

I'm using an applicacion called Phone OverHeat and is app. tell me the temperature in F' or C' in C it would be 65 and in F' its 129.I even used franco kernel with no help. The last thing haved is morning the phone change my alarm tone for no reason. Its like geting crazy. Really don't no what to do with it.

65°C isn't a harmful temperature for your phone.

If you had my phone in your hands when it gets HOT. Believe me you would't say that and the applicacion that i talk about is always warning me when the phone gets so high. I think i'm going to unroot and block the boot loader back to see what happens. THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

i regularly reach the automatic shutdown/safety temp of 110C, by choice. at that temp the cpu shuts itself down. 65C is well withing the normal range, and well below the throttle temp. feel isnt a good judge of temperature. feel is relative. try this experiment and you will understand. take 3 glasses of water, one hot, one ice cold, and one room temperature. put your right hand in the hot water and your left hand in the ice water, for several minutes. now put both hands in the room temperature water. your hand thats was in the hot water will feel like its in cold water when put in the room temperature water at the same time. your hand that was in the ice water will feel that the room temperature water is cold. if the air around you is cooler, the phone will feel hot, if the air around you is warmer, the phone will feel cold.

The heat Issue?

I am thinking to buy the phone but I saw some posts there are some heat issues. So what is the problem besides the phone getting too hot? Is it shuting down when it gets too hot or get really laggy? Is there any other problem when heated except it gets really hot?

I haven't experienced any heat issues. I have yet to feel my g3 get warm Tbh.
Others (not sure which model) have reported issues with heat, to the point that it causes the device to throttle the brightness down. Again haven't experienced this on my at&t model.

Thanks for the reply, someone with issues ?

Same here not felt it get warm even watching video.

When the phone gets hot several things happen.
1) The CPU is clocked down to help lower heat
2) Brightness is capped to help lower heat
3) If the phone continues to get too hot (usually when its already hot and you then start to play a really intense game, or benchmark the phone may shut itself down.

People complained a lot with the Korean model but I haven't seen anyone with a US model complain. Maybe the type of person that waits is less likely to be a phone gamer? They may have actually tweaked it so it doesn't activate as quickly or harshly. I do know some people disabled it on the Korean model. I haven't heard of anything bad happening but those few people may have felt dumb if it destroyed their phone and not posted that it did...

I have no heating problem with my lg g3 international D855 16gb model, even during quadrant test or playing games.

Define an actual temperature for hot.

I disabled the thermal protection on my AT&T version and yes, I've felt it get quite hot while playing Final Fantasy 6. The heat radiated mainly through the metal power button but the entire top half of the device got pretty hot. Didn't bother me all that much tho, as I've had other devices get hot like that in the past.

I use exposed app CPU temp my g3 sits at about 30c and 45c which is normal temps and about 50ish whith thermal protection on disabled.

what heat issue

Do we have any official documentation from Qualcomm on how hot the cpu can safely be?

My girlfriend picked this up yesterday and this is happening to her G3. Not playing games though, just browsing the internet/reading an article. It makes no sense to me. How can you take control over that? She doesn't want to root the phone.
But yeah, just reading something or even looking at Facebook, the phone gets way too hot.

I picked up the Verizon version yesterday. It's gotten pretty warm around the power button a few times for me also. Typically not bad or what I would consider unusual with one or two exceptions.

My G3 (UK) go very very hot yesterday when I was on the train playing a graphically intensive game.
It shut itself down and then refused to turn on again. Ever.
I tried everything all night but no joy. I got a replacement handset today.
I'm sure it was because of the overheating that the phone malfunctioned. Without knowing exactly what has happened to it the timing is too coincidental for it to be random hardware failure. It was SUPER hot!

This is strange. Does the kernel not shut the phone down before it "fries" the SOC?,unless the throttling temps are too high? Wonder if this is linked to the display flickering problem myself and another poster had.

Funny you mention display flickering. I had that about 2 weeks ago. The display started flickering really badly, like nothing I've ever seen on any Android device, and I needed to pull the battery to reset. It didn't boot straight away either, it had to cool down a bit.

this.
all phones get warm if you are on it for an extended period of time, surfing (using data), gaming etc etc screen on for long periods of time. those saying they can game and not have heat are lying to you. phone gets warm when screen is on for extended period of time and by phone I mean any phone

Yeah, i had a flickering display which didnt go away.I returned that phone. Another poster yesterday had the same issue.Im wondering if the GPU is frying itself? Although the GPU does throttle as well as the CPU. Running Antutu I would get 60+deg C maybe playing a game for an extended period of time for example is causing damage? Just a theory.

heating problem

is anyone noticing that there s6 is overheating mine is i am thinking of bringing it
to the sprint store

The phone does get very warm.
This has been noted in other variants.
It's a processor thing.
You should be good.
And if it gets a bit nippy you can run antutu and heat your hands.
It's not a bug it's a feature.
In all seriousness. My s4 and s5 did the same thing my s5 got so hot sometimes i was tempted to try and fry things on it.
I wouldn't worry to much it's likely nothing.
For the sake of science I decided to heat my phone up with antutu
and test with my Laser thermometer (which is semi accurate to about 4 degrees)
With my phone face down and not being touched i recorded a peak temp of
96.7 degrees F
while holding it (and thus not allowing heat to escape as easily) i was able to get it as high as 98.8
this would be similar to what you will feel in a case.
I conducted the test in a 64.3 degree room
Them temperature of my fingers/hands ranges from 63 degrees to 82 degrees (remember external not internal)
so there is AT LEAST 14 degrees in between the hottest part of my hand and the phone.
which is noticeably warm. and at most 35 degrees which is often the difference between a blistering summer day and an air conditioned office.
This is my 6th samsung and I don't think i have had one yet that made me think "Dang this thing sure doesn't get warm"
TL;DR
Yer phone is just fine. If your'e concerned find a way to measure the temp and compare them to what i've posted.
And if you can't shake the feeling you can take it back to sprint.
Although I can't imagine they will actually be useful.
Or that you would want to actually be in the sprint store.

yeah i agree i should be fine i have been reading around and almost everybody. is noticing
the same thing also if i put a case on that should help to.

Actually adding a case will just make your device warmer.
however it will be less apparent depending on the material of your case.
either way out of sight out of mind right?

Thermal Imaging
Just a quick note about thermal imaging (as I do it all the time at work...). Be sure you catch the shiny surface of the phone at an oblique angle so it's not flashing light into the phone. That will skew your temperature reading high.

[Q] 42C while Quickcharging ?

Hi Friends,
after 7 years of Samsung I am finally back to HTC and so far I am loving the device except for one thing that concerns me a little.
After turning it on it started installing Apps, Updating etc. doing the regular stuff it was getting quite warm on the back. Not really hot but warm enough to be a bit uncomfortable.
Now that I plugged it in to charge I checked the temperature and it says 42c. I didn't touch it for 30 minutes, it was just charging with the stock charger and reaching this temperature.
Is that unusual? Should I worry?
Thanks for helping!

nervermind the temperature went down again. It seems like updating apps makes the device overheat. Anyone else with this experiecne when you setup the device for the first time?

It's worse when you are flashing TWRP and backing up in order to root. When I did that for mines, it had to update all of my apps about 172 of them. Phone was really warm even with a spigen case on it.

That's weird. I am not used to this kind of heat from my samsung phones. Maybe it is the all metal body that conducts the heat better to the point where you feel it.
It makes me feel like the phone is really struggeling and draining the battery.
Just regular Web Browsing will make it reach a solid 40C.
Anyone?

Nexus 5X Heat (normal or problem?)

Hello everybody, before, I know there are several posts on the xda about the phone get so warm, but I think I have a different question. At this point in my country are about 35/36º Celsius, which obviously makes the phone warm up a bit, but i without open any application the temperature reaches 42/43 Celsius, but it will be normal or is a situation to worry ? I see quite a few posts from people saying that the mobile phone reaches 60º, the maximum I could get on my was to 48 and had several applications open and was playing a game. Like all others, the mobile phone is quite hot in the sensor zone and sometimes is hard to use, I even installed an app to close all applications to save battery and cool the phone. Therefore, it is normal but all phones warm up a little when they are being used aggressively, but it's normal after unlocking and without any open application temperatures reach 42/43 celsius? Should i send for warranty or not because this is normal?
Thank you in advance any help :good:

This phone is going to heat up considerably in that temperature due to the 808 CPU. If you spend a lot of time outside or in a warmer environment, there may not be anything you can do. Depending on the case, that may also keep the phone running warm as well. Try an RMA and see what happens though.

If the ambient temperature is high then the battery temperature will start high as well. I'm assuming you're monitoring the battery temperature since that is what most apps will report.

Unless it's Greenify, get rid of it. Apps like that can cause more harm than good, and your phone might actually be running hotter due to apps closing/launching more than necessary.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, i switch from a micro sim(old phone) to a nano sim ( nexus 5x) but yesterday the SIM stop worked, i have a new one now and looks like my phone dont get so hot, is this possible or is this my imagination?

Do you have better signal with the new SIM? If the phone has to constantly search for signal, that uses a lot of power and heats up the phone.
