no heat on light usage.
Very little heat while charging.

Apply thermal paste where??
Deassemble phone and then apply paste??

Use thermal pads. Thermal pastes are very bad for phones (it breaks GPS signals).
Find the location of the processor and put thermal pad as the same size as the chip.
Not much noticable heating here. Been using this since one year now. Kirin manages the heating well. Goes up sometime while playing high end game like asphalt 8 etc for longer time but not the burning heat but a moderate one.
In my case, the heat would be a GOOD thing, I'm outdooring a lot and here in Finland its so cold that my battery is empty in 30 minutes after full charge. This phone does not heat even in heavy usage...

Hi,
You might laugh at this, but I have never owned a smart phone before. I got my Galaxy Nexus last Thursday and I took it for two trips this weekend, mounted on the dashboard. The trips were about a couple of hours each, and the weather was sunny with a temperature from 90 F to 97 F.
I use AndroSensor to measure the temperature of my battery. I found that my battery temperature was around 122 F most of the time, and once went up to 134 F. Is this OK or is there something wrong with my phone. Also the voltage of the phone dropped to 3.7 V as compared to 4.18 V when fully charged and cold.
I am just curious if there is something wrong with my phone. I would like to know what temperatures you guys see with the Galaxy Nexus.
Thank you,
O. O.
Depends my battery stays at 32 c when I work in a 55 f prep area. When I'm in a 82 f room it hits 60c with light usage. This is with trinity kernel. It manly depends on the temp of where you are

In a cool environment (low 70s F) my battery never reaches 120° F. At the moment, it's at 93°F, and I've been using it lightly for a while. Under very heavy usage I've see it reach 118, but more typically about 114. With moderate usage, I see 104 pretty often. After sitting overnight it's usually about mid-80s.
Being on a hot dashboard in direct sunlight on a hot day probably affected your battery temp quite a bit.
Cool Tool is pretty good for monitoring things like battery temp.

Thanks strumcat. There was direct sunlight on the phone since it was mounted on the dashboard, but still 134 F is ridiculous. Does anyone have any idea what he upper limit of the temperature of the battery is? This is a new phone so I would like to know if there is a problem right now before my 15 day trial period expires.
Thank you,

I reach 144°F when I play games and do heavy Facebook+browser Tasks.
Yesterday reached the temp of near shut down (12°F close). Be careful where u use your phone. Like the summer at Disney.
°___° always got hot to point to where I can't use it.
Q: battery dies faster when it's hotter then normal right???

I can't get past 110F if I try.

If it was on direct sunlight, 130-ish is not that bad. But make sure that you don't do that next time. That can really be a huge problem. Also you know how hot the CPU was? I find you have to look out for CPU temperature more than battery, because CPU gets really, REALLY hot for me.
My max. battery temperature is around 120F, while charging and browsing/socializing. But my CPU temperature goes beyond 60C easily with light use...

I was 12°F(169°F) away from shut down.
And in °F, it is 180°F before the phone shuts it self down.

I'm really sorry, but I am yet to find that out. The only reason why I know this is because of SetCPU feature, which is underclocking when CPU temperature reaches certain heat.
I've just searched cpu temperature on Play Store and here's is decent looking one... I dunno if it will work or not though...: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW5lbHMudGVtcGNwdXYyIl0.

Open Terminal Emulator and run cat /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_temp_sensor.0/temperature. Divide by 1000 and you have temperature in Celsius.
Thank you guys for the information. I think this is all I need. As Dragn4rce mentioned the cut-off is 180F so its nice to know that I was much below that threshold.

Everywhere I looked they said that the OnePlus 3 has the least thermal throttling and best sustained performance of any phone out there. But nobody discussed why exactly it did not throttle while other phones did. Everyone simply said "Oh they must have very good thermal management or something". Then I saw a video comparing the temperatures of the ZTE axon 7 and the OnePlus 3 (google "Zte axon 7 vs OnePlus 3 antutu thermal throttling"), it turns out the reason the OnePlus 3 doesn't throttle isn't some magical thermal dissipation and management, it's solely because they raised the temperature at which the phone would throttle to beyond comfortable zones. In the video with just a few iterations of Antutu CPU test, the OnePlus 3 metal skin's temperature reached a scorching 47 degrees Celcius. Google shows that holding anything metal at 50 degrees Celcius for more than a brief moment can cause tissue damage (1st degree burns). And this phone was just shy of that temperature during Antutu's benchmarks when only the CPU was running, so can you imagine what temperatures it would reach when you're playing a highly graphical game where both CPU and GPU are being taxed at the same time? Why does nobody talk about this?

No actually Hearthstone is not a demanding game at all, not even remotely. In fact an iphone 4 could run it without busting a sweat. And many games can actually be more stressful than a benchmark because you would be running both CPU and GPU at the same time and would likely be running the GPU at 100%. Most GPU benchmarks run the GPU at 100% too but without using the CPU at the same time.
A non issue imo

I can't figure out why the hell that idiot in the video used real racing as a benchmark. Do these people even know what a GPU or CPU is?
Anyway, that video is not reliable, especially since the OnePlus 3 uses a 1080p display and has to push far less pixels than those other phones, that game does not tax the phone's hardware in any way shape or form.
The CPU starts throttling at 75°C like pretty much any other phone out there... This thing just dissipates heat better than any other Android phone out there which is why the chassis heats up a bit more. Don't worry it doesn't get that hot at all

The fact that there's a lot of us out here using the phone, but as far as I've seen zero reports of people getting burnt by hot phones, in. Y experience it stays way cooler to the touch than either of my last two phones (Xperia z2 and Samsung s3).

I have felt heat on my ear during a phone call when Facebook Messenger is receiving messages (once off) - but doesn't get as warm as my Galaxy S6 in general use
I've felt heat using GPS navigation through Sygic and Here maps. Otherwise it's cool as a cucumber.
So it's an 8. A 10 is obviously when it doesn't heat up under any stressing.

Surprisingly cool on my end. It is also Winter down here in Aus so that could count for it however even if warm and host conditions here, it has maintained a cool temperature for me.

It gets hot on Lineage/RR, but never even warm on MIUI.
Device gets warm quickly and starts underclocking, should've added a heat pipe or a better connection to the shield or display to send it's leftover heat to

It most certainly does, my fix was to root and use Kernel Adiutor to keep the cores running a a decent speed.
Heat is real! Suggest to use kernel auditor to fix the issue.

Xiaomi Mi Mix: The Clay Pot Phone
I'm in my third year of using a Mix and heat problem persists. No matter what ROM I use, the heat stays. And I've been noticing something: I live in a tropical archipelago where it can get really hot and humid (sometimes it can get close to 100 degree Fahrenheit) and apparently this phone can easily be affected by the weather. Whenever I'm using it outside during hot weather, it gets reeeeaaally hot up to where it's too hot to the touch. And yes, whenever it gets hot it lags badly. Whenever that happens, all I can do is turn off the phone and let it cool down in a shade before I can turn it back on again. I'm not an engineer but I think that has something to do with its ceramic unibody, because ceramic tends to keep the heat inside - kinda like my mother's clay pot.
Hi All,
I'm using my Z2 since 2017 Jan. I've unlocked the bootloader after a year (non-treble), and since then I've used AEX, Bootleggers etc. Last week after i've switched to carbon rom, I've noticed heating for normal usage. Normal multitasing (Facebook, Chrome, 9gag app) = 45-55 degrees of Celsius. I've switched between a couple roms, no change. This is when I've decided to start over - ZUI 1.9 - bootloader lock then 3.5.X for the baseband, then bootloader unlock, new TWRP, Treble this time. I've tried AEX 5.8 and now ArrowOS, but no change, when I wake up the phone 30-32 C, then when I open something up 40-45-47 very quickly. Is there a way to fix this, or maybe I have HW issue?
Thank you
Try using the sun cooling mod

There are thermal mods available for aggressive throttling of CPU for achieving lower temps. You may also try using a kernel which supports editing on fly, like nameless (using kernel editor app from play store) to underclock your CPU / GPU for less heat.

Are you mad or what? 45-55 degree celcius is very hot.. my phone is always under 40 even under sunlight with extensive video playback and browsing and around 45 when playing pubg.. this is what i can call warm.. not 45-55 with light use, i suggest to use characteress's thermal mods to cool down your phone

Pardon me for being a noob, but I am unable to understand how can a software cool down a phone below ambient temperature?
I am from a part of India (Kolkata) where often Ambient temps hit 45c outdoor !!
Some input would be really helpful.

I agree that ambient temperature plays a big role in device heat management, but software(thermal configurations) play a huge role in regulating temperature, you can experiment yourself, just underclock processor in kernel adiutor to about 1.8 ghz and heating will be reduced significantly, our device has sd820, which is known to have heating issues in many devices. It's a quite powerful proccesor(2.15ghz) , so when all the cores are performing at their highest (like when playing pubg) ,heating is bound to happen . So by underclocing to 1.8 ghz you can reduce it. And regarding thermal config files, they are just files that throttle the performance of the device when it's heating, to cool down, sure your device's performance will take a hit, but this will cool down your phone

Thanks for the long reply. But being a noob it seems I am still unable to find the answer for my question.
How can a software cool down my device below ambient temps?
As far as I know, no software tweak can even push device temps below ambient. And ambient being 45c, device will for sure run a few deg over that. No matter how much tweaking is done.
So not sure how I am "mad" for calling 45-55c range normal !!
