Many users may find their phone gets quite hot, thankfully Aluminium is a heat conductor and dissipates the heat in the cold air but Sensation owners may find the phone can feel quite hot at the back and possible the screen feeling hot too.!
So far while gaming for about 10-15 minutes, I have had my temperature reach 46 degrees celsius.(~115 Fahrenheit)
I think the failsafe temperature maybe around 52 degrees Celsius(~125 Fahrenheight)
Anyone know what the failsafe temperature is or what should be the highest safe temperature?
how hot has your device gone?
Highest temps i got was around 41 degrees Celsius, this was while playing gameloft games (heavy 3d graphics).
could be charging and gaming same ime causing 45.9 degrees celsius
1 hour gaming (galaxy on fire ) and at the same time charging and i guess wifi was also enabled and the highest which I saw was about 45.8
Spoke to HTC
normal operating temperature is 30°c to 40 °c
Anything upto 50°c is safe and erl not harm the device

I managed 46.4 last week.
Anyone think they can beat that? If not, what do I win?
was charging the battery and concurrently doing a large file copy (about 5Gb) to the SD card - on my widget monitor - temp went up to about 50C, phone body was getting noticably hot and there was some distortion on the screen (multicolour "snow" on some of the widgets).
finished the xfer - shutdown phone for about 15 mins to let it cool down - haven't had the same problem since (altho I haven't done such a large file xfer again either)

Well, i'd like to keep it below 37 at all times. After having mobo in Desire replaced which had heat issues (just look up desire overheating and rebooting), i'm very cautious regarding temperatures.
Had mine up to 48 degrees while it was in my pocket, best thing is I didn't feel a thing till I took it out and damn... way too hot =S
Mine was at 55oc whilst charging overnight once. Still fine though, although I suspect there is something wrong with my battery. 4/5hrs mild use took me down to 55%!

You should check battery information in spare parts. Check if it says battery health overheated instead of good.

That was a few days ago, battery health now says good but at the time it said overheated :S.

My Sensation 4G heats up not to the point of burning, but if i had SetCPU it'd probably say ~100 degrees. This is after about 5 minutes of use....anyone having this problem, and if not, what does the date on your phones back door say? Just curious to if this is a defect or not because my friends G2x never gets hot...
i played continuously for more than 30 mins . It heat up too ... but not the way you observed .
mine was like 35-38 degrees .. same like my rooted desire ..
Exchange it. It's not normal. Mine barely heats up, even when charging or playing games.
Mine went up to 45C today while playing plants vs zombies...only had it 4 days.
Mine gets fairly warm if im holding it and playing games. Its pretty cool when charging though. Dont think thats too out of the norm with a small powerfull device.
Mine during charging is 35 ~ 39C.
Some browsing, you tube 5 minit. Went up to 42C!!
Mine overheated and restarted when i charged it for the first time. Strangely it haven't done it since.
i thought it was just me, mines heats up aswell i can be texting browsing or whatever it seams to overheat regardless, i cant pinpoint the issue, surprisingly while charging the temperature seems to lower versus heat up. but regardless it still has a little heat to it. But nowhere near as bad as both of the nexus S' i went through were. The screen on my S4G doesnt get hot its more of the bottom portion where as the SNS(nexus S)' both of them the screen would get unbearable sometimes during charging and using
Heating up
40 mins of Angry birds gets mine up to 42 degrees, however my Advent Vega would get just as hot under similar use and thats with a bigger case and more area to dissipate heat.
Mine, after about 25 mins of use - gaming and surfing on the net - reaches 44 degrees celcius and bottom of the phone gets really hot.
This happens in normal use not while charging.
Is this normal?
What temps do you get?
Also I am experiencing signal drops for the gsm network, but I do not think this is related to heat issue.

Same here, it gets too hot to comfortably handle. Tmo is sending me another as soon as they get them in.

Doesn't get that hot for me with hours of use gaming, surfing, playing music, etc. But yesterday when streaming music via 4G, charging in the car in the sunlight (N1 dock power cord), without the ac on on a 90 degree Fahrenheit day the thing was easily 100 degrees F. Hope it's just an issue with the charging cable and heat of the day combining.
mine has reached 113 degrees F just from playing peggle for around 20 mins...
Around 87F on average usage unplugged...
got to 110 degrees playing Cut the Rope
Mine reached 50°C while charging and an active app that kept the screen on. Outside felt cooking hot when I picked it up.
Mine got to 113 deg after only 10 min of playing fast five...really worries me as this is my second unit, first one was perfect built, no batt issue bt the power button was crooked than a MOFO lol..if this continues i mite return this one too, bt then I worry about getting another unit that has another issue...its like u can't win with this things

My wife's got hot enough today to shut down while she was using it.
I'll be playing with it tonight for a while and see if it was a one time deal, mine doesn't have that problem at all.

your new phone doesnt have the crooked power button? i thought everybody had that
Had a file transfer going while playing some games - ended up at around 50c with the bottom of the phone extremely hot.
When i stopped things and tried a reboot - phone went into a reboot loop - so went to pull out battery to hard reboot. With cover off -- very hot - not just battery but area with SD card / SIM is too hot to hold.
It would definitely burn my fingers if I tried to hold there.
Dammit, mine is also getting pretty hot. I wasn't even playing games on it when I noticed how hot it was getting. I was showing my family a few pictures on it, and in 5 minutes the lower part of the phone became really hot. Never had that happen with any other phone before. Hmm...

haha i thought the same too until someone posted a pic of their "normal" one and i was like hell nah, im returning mine for a diff one, which now has a perfectly level power button...problem is though that first one had no problems and the batt never got hot. this second one's issue is the batt gets really hot after a few minutes of usage in which the phone gets uncomfortable to even handle.
How hot is the Optimus 3D Meant to be when charging? Mine seems to go to 60 degrees Celcius while doing nothing...
give it a restart and see if its still overheating while charging.
Still seems to heat up, even when not charging, it not too sure if its normal since my desire HD doesn't heat at all.
around what temp should it be normally?
I also find the battery almost impossible to remove.

could be that you got some apps that's making your processor go crazy =/
Got any apps like setCPU or along those lines and you set it to be as high as possible or set to Performance? That can cause overheating if you don't set a profile to bring it back down. If not, maybe you could install apps like SystemPanel or WatchDog Task Manager to check if there's any strange apps.
You could always reflash your rom or a different one to see if that fixes the problem.
Might also be a battery problem. Replacing the battery could help too.
I'm not rooted yet, i just wanted to know if there was something wrong with my optimus3d
I recently tested the battery with the StabilityTest app over 2 hours long (noncharging) and it didn't go over 28°C... so normally it can't be a problem with an app stressing the cpu too much
how long should the O3D's battery last? Mine pretty much goes down 1% in less than 1 minute with display on full brightness while doing almost nothing...

Most probably you have a process causing this. If you are using any kind of cover or case, DON'T use it until the problem is fixed, or you can get the cpu burned
i'm using a brand new optus australia optimus 3d, it doesn't have a cover, or much apps installed (Except ADW and a few gameloft games - which don't cause battery drain on my desire hd)
Android system seems to be using 70% as well, even though autosync is off.
I'm using the most recent android 2.2.2 update.
Its fairly normal for it to heat up a little when charging. The charge circuit has a feature where it will fast charge and try to dump as much current as it can into the battery when it is really low. I have a two amp usb mains charger that fully charges the battery in 20 minutes and that causes it to heat up pretty significantly. I find that any task that works the gpu significantly heats it up too. Pretty normal really.

my battery takes quite a long time to charge though...
You need to check your CPU usage, if your cpu running 100% all the time, that mean something is bugged. I got this problem now, sometimes after using the MX video player, my cpu always stay at 100%, I need to restart my phone to fix it.
i use recent coh gingerbread v2.2 and watch movie for almost 2 hr and at about 46c
Hi,
Sorry to bother you, but could you tell me if your replacement Nexus 5 battery has a varied temperature?
I mean if the temperature goes up to 35 Celsius when it's charging or you're playing games, of if it goes down to 25 when it's idle.
Because my replacement battery always stays at 29 degrees Celsius, no matter how I use the phone.
I think mine might be bad, but I want to check with someone else before buying another one.
The temperature is the same in all the apps: GSam, CPU-Z, secret Android settings menu.
Completely stock system, OTA 5.0.1.
Thanks.
There isn't anyone that has changed their N5 battery in this forum?
I just want to know what is their battery temperature. Thanks.

All apps show the same value because they read battery stats from the same place. Have you tried restarting or clearing /cache? Because what you're saying physically impossible.

It is possible if the sensor is either broken (improbable) or a dummy ( 10k resistor )
Yes, this might be the case.
Like I said, I use now a replacement battery, and it might have a broken sensor or a dummy sensor..
This is why I asked about other people's replacement batteries, how are they reporting the temperature ?
Are there replacement batteries that report correctly the temperature ?

Don't worry about battery temperature unless it somehow goes over 60C, which is extremely unlikely as there is a battery temperature throttle in the kernel unless you specifically went and disabled it. The CPU will almost always throttle before the battery reaches such temperatures anyways.

I have the exact same behavior with my newly replaced battery.
Where did you bought it?
I did bought mine on ebay from this seller http://www.ebay.fr/itm/311164295976?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I hope this is not a fake thermal sensor... maybe it is because the battery is new and not fully "activated"?
Sounds like you guys bought non OEM replacement batteries that have left the sensor out to save money.
What is realy confusing me is that after 1 full cycle the battery shows very good results :
- SOT 5h10min!
- I did run at least 5 Antutu full tests
- chrome web surfing
- downloaded nearly 5Gb of data
- 1 hour gps maps
and still 28% left!
But the temp sensor doesnt work :crying:
I wonder how dangerous it could be since system has a wrong reading of the real battery temp.
If someone knows how android manage phone state when reading high batt temp...
Does it shut down it? or anything that protect it against explode

Relax, there's a hi temp shutdown which will shut down your device if it gets too hot. There's also an explosion door on the back of your device that'll relieve pressure if it gets too high, jk.

High temp shutdown based on what reading? As far as I know Nexus 5 has only 2 temp sensors avaible : CPU and battery.
If the battery sensor reading is wrong, I wonder how the phone can shut down since CPU temp can remain cool while battery is getting warmer and warmer.
Hi, I got a new galaxy s7 from metro pcs today and it keeps overheating. It gets pretty hot even when I'm not using it. I downloaded the cooler master app to see the temperature and it is constantly over 36 degrees celcius. Is my phone defective or is this normal?

Mine will sometimes get a little warm to the touch, but it's not so hot that I ever worry about it, and it may just be because my hands are warm and I'm the one heating it up. I just downloaded the Cooler Master app and I'm fluctuating between 27.3-29 C. So I would say your phone is possibly be defective.

hi mate
maybe there are apps running in the background , check your e-mail settings , facebook....loction, all that will keep phone from deep sleep
check this app let it run for a few hours and it may give you some hints...

Normally the phone stays cool when not in use. You however wrote you just got it new, so the heat may come from downloading all the apps and data used on your previous device in the background. I'd just give it some time to settle. Otherwise, heat needs a lot of battery charge.
Checking settings->battery->battery useage should reveal what's causing the heat.

Today it actually got passed 37 degrees Celsius while playing a game. It gets really hot to the touch and uncomfortable too hold. It only cools down when I'm not using it. I tried closing apps in the background but it doesn't cool it down when I'm using it. scratch that it's at 39.5 degrees
Devices are built to withstand the heat and they are specifically designed to run any kind of supported application but if the user application is hogging up a lot of resources in the background example: Facebook (They could have built a power station to supply for the entire world if they had stored all the juice they squeezed out from our devices). So its all up to the user to control it, S7 already has Battery optimization feature which I assume cuts out a app from accessing data or performing any high resource consuming activity in the background if enabled.

Lol you say 40 degrees i remember some of my former phones like oneplus or even my tablet samsung galaxy note 10.1 even lg gflex 2 that reach temp over 60 degrees celsious.
I wouldnt be concerned. But if you want to be sure run some stress tests to check your phone.
Your phone will let you know if it gets too hot. If I go straight from charging to running VR or other intensive games my phone will overheat and give me a message.
