This phone sometimes gets too hot.
Hi, check some prior threads for maybe some insight:
Why is my phone running hot?
Anyone know how I might go about diagnosing why my phone has been running much warmer than usual? Just browsing Facebook (posts, not video) for about 5 minutes with brightness around 25% the temp was up to 41 degrees. It happened earlier today...

Oneplus 9 Pro overheating very often
Hey beautiful people, I need ur help. Whenever I play games like Wild Rift or use my cam, my phone keeps dimming down and giving me a warning message about the phone overheating. How the fek do I turn that off? I can physically feel my phone...

That's all; once I play like 10 mins with the new "Assassins Creed HD" game my HTC Trophy gets really hot... The temperature becomes so high so I have to stop play because looks like if the device were to die in heat.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
on a hd7 I have no problems , not getting hot at all even with wifi on .
Thank you for your fast response ceesheim.
So it must be just my phone or maybe the Trophy model...
Maybe I did the bad choice and I had to get the HD7 model instead. (never had problems with temperature on my HD2 massplaying anything).
But now the problem is serious, that game increases really a lot the temp on my device. I must say that I have wifi and bluetooth on the whole day (massive use of them) and maybe it can be related to the problem.
I will check without them on, anyway is scary how heat it becomes once I play it, and is strange because it doesn’t happens with other games like "The harvest"

I only had wifi on , bluetooth and gps was off , you could try that .
the phone shouldn't get hot, ever. maybe be a defective battery. ask for a replacement. free, of course.

eeeh don't know about that one. Phones get hot with extended usage of cpu or antenna. ****, your game consoles or pc's get hot when playing games...and they have fans...why wouldn't your fanless phone not?
You've never been on a long call and noticed that unit was hot by the time you got off?
I agree with ohgood, a phone shouldn't get hot, even after long play, unless overclocked or modified in any way. And 10 mins not an excuse at all. I never experienced anything like that and my wife plays 3D games on the iphone for hours, it just gets a bit warm. My Fuze is not even warm but all I play is Solitaire City / Chess. However, my definition of hot may be different from OP.
It is possible for a phone to get hot whilst its being used.
It might be a battery issue though as its mainly the battery that will get hot before any anything else.
Might want to check the battery.
Or get a replacement. Free. There should be no reason as for it to get hot... Although, my phone gets hot when using Wi-Fi Tether, but that's about it.

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.
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?
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.

Yo guys,
I have my LG G4 since a while but this problem is really annoying me.
Had two LG G4 and they all did the same.
I litterally can't play any games because of that. While i'm playing 90% of the games that are available on the playstore, my CPU is overheating and i feel my LG G4 becoming so hot in my hands.
Then after a few minutes everything is freezing for 2-3 seconds and then the phone is rebooting.
Can you guys play Asphalt 8 or Arrow.io without rebooting after a few minutes? it's really annoying.
I would like to know how can i fix that? Do i need to root my phone and Underclock the CPU?
I really really don't get it.. Really rare it happens on any other situations, or rarely when i'm on Facebook and charging at the same time.
Thanks

Same issue while playing clash of royale for 5 minutes , phone heats up an then freezes. I've to take battery out and restart after 10 minutes to get it boot
Check your serial of your device. If it starts with a digit of 5 I would say it will be the well known main board issue
