Hello. I recently bought a LG G3 and noticed that CPU overheats a lot (measured with "Cpu Temperature" app and "CPUZ"). At rest it varies from 45°C - 50°C ; When I constantly switch between browsing, Facebook, Messenger and so it varies from 60°C - °68°C, rarely reaching to 70°C. I still haven't tried gaming though.
From what I've heard and read on the internet overheating is a common issue for G3. But, the thing is I have also read on forums about people which claim they get noticeably lower temperatures on their G3s, like 35°C - 50°C during usual browsing and stuff. What do you guys think? What about your G3s? I would be very grateful for any tips or suggestions.

Hi guys,
I've had an Optimus G (E975) for about a month now. I have started noticing that the phone has tended to run quite hot recently and am wondering if any other users have this issue.
For example, if I am listening to the radio (TuneIn Radio), and surfing on Chrome on 3G connection. The temperature has gone up to 105F according to AndroSensor - the phone also gets quite hot to touch as well. This is also with Ecomode turned on. What I have now noticed is that even surfing the web (non-flash based websites) the temperature can already reach close to 100F. Is this normal or is there a defect internally? I am still within my warranty period and am wondering if I need to return the device.
I have read reviews stating even with heavy gaming, users have not seen battery temps go above 100F, can anyone shed any light on this issue?
I can post screenshots of AndroSensor if necessary. Currently running Android 4.1.2.
Thanks in advance.
do you live in a hot area? most of these tests are done in an ambient temp of 24* celcius and yes where i live ( moscow ) it tends to get to 36 degrees celcius and the annoying unable to increase brightness still comes up.
Hi all, I've had the T-mobile LG for couple weeks now and the phone heats pretty bad although I've never got the high temperature warning yet. However, I'm a little bit concerned about the battery temp.
My battery temp has gott up to 42C/108F when gaming ( I was playing Golf Star to be specific) and even up to 45C/113F when I tested the phone with UHD video recording (the CPU temp got over 80C/176F during that video test). On the back of the battery there's little icon showing >40C/104F with a cross. I was wondering if it's dangerous if the battery got over that temperature when the phone is being used?
Moreover, the battery even has some sort of burning smell when its temp over >38C/100F now. Is that something I should concern about? It smells fine when its temp is around 35C/95F or lower.
The battery temp while charging seems fine when it's only around 33C/91F. The CPU usually at 45-50C/113-122F when charging.
Ambient temp has been around 40F-50F when I notice the issues above fyi.
One more thing I'm concerned about is the CPU always gets over 70C/158F or even 80C/176F every time when it starts up.
I was also wondering if I should be concerned with those issues and whether your guys experience similar issues. My phone was running with everything STOCK when the above info is recorded
Thanks in advance for your inputs, guys.
What are the normal temperature for oneplus 3, when playing games, using fb,messsenger,whatsapp in 4g and watching video and doing all the same activities in an ambent temperature of 29
I don't think many people actually measure temps of their phones ... Suffice to say - it can get pretty warm, but not too hot (maybe max around 45°C on surface). Internal (cpu) I guess could easily achieve 70+.
P.S.: Stop being so paranoid! This is at least third thread you opened about temperatures and people keep telling you that your phone is NOT overheating ...

This is the reason
I posted a pic using cpu Z... It was when I was uploading a video in Instagram.... See sensors Reaching 50-55???
I was tethering and using Instagram.. Is this normal for this
With light usage i get about 30°c and on heavy load the cpu goes up to 70°c, those temps are pretty normal
FFS it's a metal backed device which conducts heat but also passively cools faster. Devices are getting very powerful. I came from a Z3+ which hit 80-90 °c on the soc. This device is no where near being "hot" and that's from running consistent synthetic benchmarks and gets to 50°c but cooled very fast.
If it hits 80°c + on the Soc not the individual cores as they ramp up and down very fast then maybe you can repost.
Holy crap I'm tired of this... Those sensors are for the CPU, the CPU throttles at 85°C and here you are asking us the same question in which we've already answered you.. THERE IS NO PROBLEM with your phone. Now stop asking these questions and stop being so freakin paranoid. It's hot outside your phone will get hot.
just wondering if the g4 getting warm alot is a normal thing and how do people deal with it?
Normal if doing CPU intensive activities like watching videos or gaming.

This seems to be a normal issue for G4.
Here is how I solved the issue:
Root the phone (search for instructions in the forums)
Install Kernel Toolkit (or other apps that can tweak the system internal parameters)
Disable the two big CPU cores (leave the 4 small cores. I don't play games, so far no big performance differences noticed)
Then the phone will rarely go hot, and battery life increased from about 3 hours screen-on-time to about 5.5 hours
I've been using this phone for quite a while now and have been loving it on OneUI 5.1. But the one issue I have and can't seem to chase away is the awful heating issues. My phone heats up to 40C for CPU and 35C for battery even while using the least intensive applications such as reddit, Whatsapp, Youtube and even Telegram or during light multitasking and up to 45C for CPU and 39C for battery while gaming. The heat gets so bad that it's very noticeable on the surface of the phone and is a massive inconvenience most of the time. Does anyone know if this is normal? Do I need to take it to a service center?
Note: (These temps were measured using CPU monitor and AIDA64).

I don't think that's normal, but when I updated to OneUI 5.1 my temps did go up. I didn't measure them, but I sure did feel them.
What you could do is download Good Guardians and install Thermal Guardian, then slide the temp -2°C (left). Also, don't keep GPS enabled or nearby scan if you aren't using them, and try selecting the Standard option in Game Optimization from Game Booster app.
Debloating also helps, especially uninstalling Facebook (and its apps) and Bixby (if you don't use it).
Clearing the system cache and repairing apps may help too. I hope these tips will be helpful for you.
