Battery temperature? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Its been pretty hot where I am for the past week or so and I'm noticing my phone is regularly hitting 40°c. Is this normal? At what temperature should I start getting worried at?

Anyone else experiencing heat?

So, I've had my phone in my pocket for the last 30 minutes or so while listening to a podcast (not streamed, one that was downloaded) and I pulled the phone out and it was fairly warm. Nothing else going on with the phone besides the gmail sync, no downloads, no wifi, nada.
Anyone else seeing this as well, or do I potentially have a bad battery?
Mine gets a bit warm during charging, but not during usage i've experienced yet - but I haven't done heavy 4G data yet, only wifi and light 4G
Though to see it with no data usage is somewhat weirder.
I noticed with some heavy usage mine gets warm
um, your leg is typically warmer than your hand.
I notice my phones are usually warmer right out of my pocket.
or maybe i just have hot pants. BA DUM, CHING!
Mine gets warm as well with usage.
yes, when using my charger it heats up and after playing select games it heats up. Farm,city, and bakery story all make my phone heat up.
never when i'm not on the charger no matter if i am on wifi or 4g though.
I had the Zagg invisishield on mine melt and bubble last week while using GPS navigation for a few hours.

I noticed the exact same thing today. I had flashed das BAMF 3.0 RC2 the night before, followed by the newest dream kernel 2.2.2, and noticed battery was diminishing very quickly (could just be coincidence - not saying it had anything to do with ROM or kernel). Then I noticed the battery was getting very warm - something that has never happened to me, even with heavy duty use.
No idea what it was, but I ran out of battery pretty quick and just turned the phone off. Flashed imo's lean kernel when I got home to see if I could save battery.
I've definitely noticed when it's warm, the battery drains extremely fast. I'm surprised how hot it can get...using extended 2750 battery.
Thunderbolt definitely has a heat issue. My phone overheats when used in official ThunderBolt Window Mount for navigation. I have Tasker produce a voice alert when this happens. This makes ThunderBolt pretty much unusable for any long distance navigation, something my old Treo did well. It is probably combination of charging and rather mild San Francisco sun shining on the phone. Anyone from Texas had their phone explode yet?
What's odd is that when I'm on 4G at my office, and put my phone on the charger, there's no issue. When I'm on wifi at home and I charge my phone gets very warm; so bad in fact, that I get an inevitable reboot from overtemp. I'm having trouble diagnosing what could be causing this issue.
This is on a stock unrooted phone with MR2.

i was in Texas when my original droid got up to 170 degrees. i was sleeping with pandora playing, so it was probably that hot for several hours.. it bricked 3 seconds after unlocking it. no explosion or anything it just burned the **** out of my hand.
soooo happy i have the tbolt now!!!!!

How hot is hot for the Tbolt?

Hey just wondering what should the average temp be for my phone. I'm running bamf 4.4.2 kernel at 1.47 max and 245 min. I'm around 99.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that normal?
Yes high is around 130. I usually hit 115 when charging and using a lot of data.

Holy crap! And I thought it was getting hot. Man you get it up there. I have nothing to gripe about. Lol. Thanks for the info.
The phone feels hot but these parts were built to work in extreme temps. All of my phones have always gotten hot. Even my Apple products way back when would heat up quickly.

That may be so, but I doubt that's a good thing. After trying a bunch of different kernels, I settled on one where my battery seldom gets above 100F even under load while charging. Heat is the enemy of electronics.

My phone usually stays around 90 when charging usually data is what throws it up.

Mine got up to 125F (and drained the battery) searching for / trying to hold onto a weak 4G signal when I was sitting in a meeting. In addition to flashing a new kernel and the new radio, I now turn off data if I'm heading into a meeting (which I suppose is better meeting etiquette, anyway).
I once hit 124F and got an overheat condition. This happened while charging the battery in the car dock on a sunny day for more than an hour. That's with the stock ROM and previous radio. Haven't tried charging the TB in the car dock on a sunny day for more than an hour yet with BAMF 1.5 NTE with the 4.4.2 kernel. On idle, I noticed that with the new ROM and radio, the battery is a mere 75F. The stock ROM and previous radio on idle went as low as 90F.
My high is 47-48c. Has been up there a few tines. If it stays there too long it locks up. I then have to perform a battery pull.
if its hot enough to make the phone act up (laggy, locking up) then its too hot.
charging while wireless tethering while having the cpu cranked up can get a phone too hot in about 10 minutes.

[Q] battery overheating question

hey all, maybe its just my paranoid self, but i just want to be sure;
i was charging my phone, and at the same time, i was playing slice it. suddenly i realized that the back of the phone was getting really hot, and i checked the temperature. it was about 45c, and i was gettin freaked out, so i took the batttery and put in the fridge for like 10 seconds, before realizing that was a stupid mistake. after about 5 minutes, it cooled back down to 30.5c. i believe that perhaps the battery was around 45c for about a minute or so.
I was just wondering, do you think my battery life will suffer from my idiotic antics? Im a bit worried that itll have a significant impact, even if it was for a few minutes? Did i 'burn' out some of the lithium ion cells?
much help appreciated!
thanks alot!
Just curious, does only your battery get warm, or does the top half of the phone (above the battery) got hot too?
Phone only overheated when I had bluetooth and wifi running while charging

its just the back of the phone where the battery is located
Mine did the exact same thing last night with fruit ninja of all things. I also put my whole phone in the fridge for one minute and it dropped the battery temp from 45c to 38c. The battery condition also said "overheated" instead of "good" which it has said since then.

Can anyone answer my question about if the short amount of overheating damaged my battery?

Mine got to 53c while doing absolutely nothing, any idea what causes this?

I don't think anyone really knows and begging for an answer is a quick way to get flamed.
I know that if you were to rapidly cool metal or another material in that same manner, it would crack. I don't know if that same issue would apply to batteries. I definitely wouldn't put anything overheated directly into a frozen environment like that.

+1 not a great idea, just take battery out and let it sit

Mine had the same problem. Whenever i put it on charge it would heat up within minutes and then upon unplugging it would cool down. I read somewhere in the forum to discharge completely and then recharge to full. I did that and its been 1 week since that and no problems with overheating and battery life is also improved. My battery`s health is still GOOD i checked using * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # *
Hope this helps.
I undervolted the cpu. Overheating almoat stopped. I swapped battery and has been better since. Usually running two quadrants i would start feeling it get hotter and hotter. On new battery i run four an don't notice any major change.
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel
out of the blue overheating
My phone was awesome...but now it overheats....??
I am going to try and undervolt and see if that helps my problems but my phone just goes crazy hot when it's asleep and idk what to do, even w/ a new warranty phone, and i could tell it's new cause it still had the green tap by the buttons and stuff...the old one got crazy hot, but only after cm7 build33....and this was also after i changed the recovery to 3101 ext4 supported one....can a recovery affect your roms (overheat it) i would't think so, it only loads on command idk how it would....hmmmmm my vibrant would be a dead cold 28-29c when on idle/sleep but w/ this phone it just gets hot and is about 37-43 when doing nothing.....i'm going to try the undervolt thing w/ cm7 latest build and faux123's kernel 0.1.1 and try to undervolt it, i'll search thru that thread for good undervolting starting points...and play w/ that......idk i'm just confused why it is just now happening and not before, i had it on launch day and no problems till last week....i'm lost..

[Q] battery temp

my inspire is running honeysense 5.0 with recomended radio and the battery temp just jumped from 70 degrees to 87.7 degrees in like 5 minutes i was waundering if anyone knew what my battery temp should be hovering around
87 sounds about right...you probably just booted your phone up or started using it from standby..
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
ok sounds good. i just heard bad things about this rom heating up and burning cpu's so glad to hear mines ok kinda got worried for a second
I hear ya...
Running the same ROM and I have had no issues at all with the temperature getting to hot.
I did read about the problem before, and everytime my phone feels warm I check the battery but it ends up being my hand that is warm and not the phone itself

this phone gets hot!

damn, gets hotter than my note 4! what's the max temp you've reached? I'm at 100 degrees f now just browsing around on my lunch hour. kinda annoying, honestly.. part of the reason I hated my Moto X Pure Edition was bc that thing would regularly hit 113 degrees and be annoying to hold. hopefully this snapdragon isn't as bad as the 808 was!

I would say that this is not normal. Mine does not get hot... only warm during gaming. Also the tests confirm that the phone does not get really hot. Maybe it is still in the set up phase?
could be! battery sucks today too haha. I'm also not using wifi ever.

Are you out in the sun when this happens? I have yet to see this phone get more than warm.
I have hotspot on and I am using a wireless QC2.0
The phone gets super hot until it reach 90%, then it becomes lukewarm.
At 100% charged, its very little warm.
Is this normal?

Yes, wireless charging heats up the phone a lot. The phone automatically slows the charging speed to prevent the phone from overheating.

nah. i was inside at work at lunch from like 12-1 browsing stuff. hangouts tends to get phones hot for some reason, and i was browsing other apps for like an hour straight. but yea, she didn't hit 100 luckily, but yeah, pretty damn warm.
Mine got really hot, M9 hot during the intial install of apps etc but only gets warm afterwards
This phone is by far the hottest I've had so far

Its not good to use the phone while charnging. Especially fast charging. Maybe very little use at most.
My phone has only got slightly warm, and that was while playing a racing game. Everything ells is room temps
Heat test.

I don't feel any particular heat from mine, even while running intensive games or benchmarks, then again, I am using the Exynos variant.
A littlebit warm after 1 hour of Real Racing 3. Not hot at all. Htc one m7 was hot phone. .
Mine is charging right now with the fast charger, while streaming radio over bluetooth. Its warm, but not what I would call hot. My LG G3 got significantly hotter. Even playing with my Gear VR the other night it only got pretty warm, but I've no idea the actual temp, I just know it isn't as hot as my G3 would get sometimes just playing games.
Mine doesn't get really hot like my S5 or M9. The hottest ive experienced is like warm to the touch. Not HOT. Mind you, I'm wireless fast charging constantly.

Yeah at first I thought my S7 was cooler than my S6 Edge but even with just Web broswing for an hour or so the S7 is averaging like 90 degrees F. Current temp is 94. It's warm not "hot" but still annoying.
I think the Speck candyshell plastic case made it worse... trying to use bare now but still a bit warm.
I may have to go back to a flip case or something.
I hope I can get used to the warmth (tho I'd rather not have to -- def. annoying). Other than the warmth this phone completely rocks. I think I'll probably have to adjust because it's so damn amazing. I doubt any other phone can compare.
Name an Android phone as powerful as this one but which stays cooler... is there one?

Mine gets quite warm as well would sit around 32 degrees Celsius from browsing the Internet. I'm just worried if it's a defected device or not cause I have the exynos and some people don't even go over 25 degrees.
Yeah, I'm seeing this as well. Qualcomm variant. Just web-browsing for half an hour causes a pretty good bit of heat at the top of the phone, though I haven't checked the actual temperature.
I don't mind the heat itself, but the phone clearly start throttling and even just scrolling around in Chrome becomes laggy. Annoying.

lately mine has been ok surprisingly. not once did it even hit 90 today on lte all day. battery has also gotten a bit better. it's been a full week today since I got the phone, so who knows, maybe it really does take a week to settle which is kinda crazy lol

Is anyone getting 45% battery temperature!? I checked after unplugging from fast charging and using camera for a couple of minutes.
