So recently i downloaded antutu and found out that my cpu spikes to 60-65 degrees while having alot of apps in the background and doing generic Web browsing. Is this number okay?

I preordered the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint the week before the release, and I've been having heat issues since I got it.
So I paid for "TempMonitor" on Google Play so I could monitor the temperature of the battery but the battery was only 40c and rarely goes above 45c. The CPU however is what is getting hot. When I say this thing gets hot, I mean it, and only while charging and in use. If its not charging, it will get warm but not hot like I'm talking. During light usage the CPU will rise to 55c or more and while playing a game it has gone as high as 65c, it burns to touch the screen at these temperatures and when it gets hot like this the touch screen also becomes unresponsive for multitouch.
Already starred the issue #23044 on android's google code page for the multitouch issues though.
Exchange if possible. Those temps seem to high to offset by anything you can do tweaking wise. Or you have something rogue using cpu cycles keeping the heat up.

Do you have a case? My Seidio Active does a GREAT job at insulating the heat coming off the phone and holding it in.
If I'm playing a CPU/GPU intense game or app, it'll easily be 15 degrees warmer with the case than without it.
I do have a case so that's probably the reason. Mostly silicon rubber. I've just never had a phone get so hot I thought it was unusual.
I use Watchdog Lite to monitor background apps for high CPU usage and it rarely ever goes off. The only app I use that it notifies me about is Facebook which has the tendency to use 40-50% CPU while in the background
This phone does get hot when I'm on the internet and only then its the top half where I imagine the CPU is

I took off the case.and have been browsing these forums. Still running as hot as 65c with random jumps in temperature. It will go from 55 to 65 in a matter of seconds.
Over 3G? That would be almost normal. Also stock correct? I get a little bit warm over wifi browsing so I would assume some heat over poor 3G signal.

Hey I'm running jedi X 13 with the saber kernel 23. I noticed that my phone started heating up where the processor is located (top left of the screen) when playing more demanding games like nova 3 or gta 3. I checked trickster mod to get my cpu temp and it was reaching roughly around 56°C and 58°C. Just wondering if that is an oddly high temperature or if it's fine. I know they can get hot but after searching I found answers staying it should stay below 50°C to it shouldn't be above 30°C. Thanks for your time!
So I was downloading some stuff on my tablet and the temperature hit around 35°C (95F) when normally it is around the 25°C mark, so it got me thinking what is high temperature for our tablet? when I would have to stop doing whatever it is I am doing and let it cool down. I don't think 35C is anything too high but in all honesty I have no idea lol. P.s I got the temp info from a battery app.

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering how your Nexus 7 runs under the new OS? I notice my device getting higher temperature than before, especially when playing some games. For example, with CPUTEMP and Smash Hit, CPU's temp was around 50-55C on Kitkat but now it is 65-75 on Lollipop.
Would be great if someone can run the same test and see if you get high temperature on this game.
Thanks
I can attest to this myself. I use the same app (on a N5 and N7) and I've noticed that the feel in the hand, while doing normal stuff with the same usage pattern, seemed hotter than normal. So I launch the CPUTEMP app and run the overlay, put the N7 to sleep for 15 minutes to idle. Temp starts around 36 C when first turning on the screen, then it ramps up to 44 - 50. Then while actually using the device, (e.g. surfing the web, email, basic stuff) the temps will go up to the 50s and 60s easily. If I leave it at rest on the homescreen after using the tablet, it idles around the low to mid 40s. While video chatting online with someone (hangouts / skype / etc) it will ramp up to 70s, then 80s, and finally cap out at 95 C. (5 degrees before S4Pro SoC maximum?) A video chat will last 2 - 2.5 hours on a fully charged battery, and the heavy SoC throttling affects the frame rate / responsiveness of both my front / back camera preview during vid chat and the entire OS. Downloading an app or two brings the temp 55 - 61, and then installing them (due to AoT compile) from 61 to 72.
The same goes for my N5 also on Lollipop, to a lesser degree, but nonetheless, it runs higher average temps than I noticed while running KitKat. Both devices appear to drain battery quicker on Lollipop, especially during use. That's not even considering LTE / mobile data use, since these days I'm here at home using WiFi all the time.

Yes. You are correct. Even i face the same issue. The device gets heated even on playing candy crush / angry birds which was not the case with kitkat 4.4.4.
Hello. I have noticed that my mi5s has some lag while playing asphalt 8 even at medium settings. After doing some benchmarks with 3DMark I realized that there is a drop in performance at relatively low temperature.
At "Ice storm unlimited" I have a score around 30,000 when the cpu is cool. However when I hit a 36 degrees of Celsius I am around 27,400. Furthermore, if the temperature increase at 39 Celsius , the performance drops even more and 23,500. This gets even worse when I hit 40+ Celsius where the score drops under 20,000 and if I semi-covered it with a cloth to reach higher temp it gets around 16,600 at 45 degrees of Celsius. After that it need to cool down to 33 degrees of Celcius to restore its performance
Needless to say that these temperatures are very easy to reach when you are playing a game. Has anyone noticed something similar? Any suggestions?
I have the 3/64 version with the 7.7.20 developers. Same issues were faced with the 7.7.6. . I have not tested in depth with the global rom but I think I had similar issues (it was only for a day). The room temperature is around 30 degrees of Celsius.

If you're okay with the high temperatures then you could disable all the CPU thermal throttles from any kernel manager app, though you need to be rooted.

I was thinking something similar but I do not want to disable it fully but just increasing the threshold by 2 or 3 degrees of Celcius. I am rooted but I am not sure how I can do the modification. From some quick search that I have done there should be a file named thermal-mplampla.conf (I do not remember the exact name) where you can modify it but I am not sure by how much should I change the respective lines for just a 2 or 3 degrees increase.
Anyone that have been playing around with thresholds and have any tips or guide before messing around?

First of all, that isn't the CPU temperature but the battery temperature. This phone actually has fantastic thermals due to its aluminum back and well placed SOC. No wonder you're getting throttling, you live in 30°C and you're playing games, what do you expect? Every phone on the face of the earth will throttle to that level. Just saying, your CPU is running probably around 70-80°C while playing intense games. So if you continue to play, it will eventually heat up the rest of the phone.
40°C destroys a batteries lifetime and 45°C everyday will reduce your battery within half a year which is why they throttle phones. Hell my One plus 3 in 30°C weather will throttle like crazy and that's the best phone in terms of throttling. Its normal. Stop playing crappy games like Asphalt 8 in 30°C and go enjoy the sunny weather instead.

Actually the truth is somewhere in the middle. I have used an app called "cpu temperature" but if I check the battery temperature it shows exactly the same degrees. So I guess it mistakenly shows the temperature of the battery. Do you have a more reliable app to check cpu temp?
On the other hand, 30 degrees of Celcius is not that high. In the winter usually we do not let the room temperature drop under 20 degrees since we use heating. Nevertheless, I will let it as it is for now and check again after 5 or 6 weeks where the temperature should be cooler.

You need a rooted phone to see actual CPU temperature. The best way to do this is get an app called simple system monitor (blue app icon) and go in temperature zones and you'll find a bunch of sensors there. There's a bunch of them that are for the CPU and you kinda have to figure it out yourself (I don't know exactly which one it is, one of the tz_sensor ones) by running a CPU benchmark and finding the ones that show the highest temperature. If you were to remove thermal throttling, and maxed out the CPU and GPU, you will see your CPU hit around 100-110°C and your phones gonna shut down for protection. And I'm in Canada so 30°C is extremely high haha.
