I'm trying to set up a profile for setcpu. What would be a good limit for heat on the g2x before it overheats?
I say anything above 110°-115° I live in phoenix az that's under stating for most places though lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Honestly 110 is kind of low. When I had a g2x (during winter) I never saw over 108, but my other phone has been as high as 127 while playing a CPU intense game plugged in in the middle of summer. Shoot, I know all that's measured on a phone is battery temp, but on a laptop 140 processor temp is perfectly acceptable.

My profile is set for 45 degrees C which I do hit on occasion but I am a little paranoid about battery damage so I keep it low.

Tegra does not thermal throttle itself until about 70°C IIRC
now, letting it get that high on a regular basis is not the best thing for the cpu or the battery.
If your gonna set a profile, I'd recommend 60°C
my phone used to hit that every day when i was doing some hardcore multitasking.

That is nowhere near a "safe temperature "
That is a omg my phone is 1337 haxxor pwning multitask your mom and my mom fast. Running any electronics at or close to their maximum heat/mv limits for prolonged periods of time will cause your phone to live fast and die young
Side note: My 3500mah and 1900mah batteries maximum temp is 50°c and when using them I adjust my setcpu profile accordingly although they tend to run cooler anyways...

Agreed, that just sounds like asking for all the cheap glue and poor solder job to fall apart. I wouldn't get that close if I notice my battery is any where near 120° I take the battery out and let it cool down...

When I first got my g2x I went through 2 lemons with bad hardware before the one I use now.
Even being counter active and setting your temp limit a little lower and then setting the profile Max CPU frequency a little higher may be a good idea you get a audible warning when you hit your temp limit (in setcpu) so might as well take advantage

Its funny how when i had the G2X, everytime i put it to charge it would get burning hot, now that i got a iPhone 4 it has no heating problems at all Okay let the Apple suxxx comments begin but we all know the iPhone is a better phone overall

That's cpu temp, allot of that dissipates by the time it gets to the battery. Yeah, running hot causes the life of electronics to shorten, but I'm not keeping this phone for more than 2 years at most, and batteries are cheap
Like i said, tegra is alright till 70, i get nervous around 60-65 your battery temps should not be any higher than about 50-60 (but that's just a guess)
I'd your setting up an emergency overheating profile I'd still recommend 60° but if you're hitting that too much you might want to tone down the oc in general
Don't worry about the solder tho, that won't melt till around 100° or higher
Note: all temps in °C

While Tegra is alright up to 70°C, I get skittish when I am required at some places to leave my cell phone in the car, which (in Houston) can get up to 60-65°C inside when parked in full sun. I personally recommend keeping it below 50°C as much as possible.

So I started playing this game Order and Chaos Online (kinda MMO similar to WoW) and the temps get very high, up to 41C on WiFi and 43C on 3g. The phone is burning to a point that it hurts my hand. I'm playing aprox 2-3 hours per day, sometimes maybe 4 hours, how dagerous is that to the phone? Can it do any significat damage over time?
I am using the jame bond kernel at 1ghz, which is also a bit undervolted, don't know the values tho, governer is set to ondemand. I tried to underclock it to 800mhz but the game lags sometimes and is a no-go.
ukhm, khm....
Well if the phone is heating up and it sounds pretty bad, I'm pretty sure its dangerous. Maybe not, but IMO it is. My Sprint HTC Hero has over heated a few times and after that it had small little dots on the screen. Hopefully your phone don't fry.

Mines usually sits between 34°C - 36°C, its seems like a normal temp IMO. I've never had my phone hit 41°C before and I sometimes i tether my phone via usb and it still dosent hit that high. If your is hitting that high, it could also be the temp around your home or something. But I wouldn't use your phone to play MMO, especially if your playing 2-4hrs everyday. Just saying..

Well I'm at stock right now because I'm waiting for the ota tomorrow. But I was using koushdecks 1.2.1 with matr1x kernel 4.0 bfs version. Clocked it up to 1.3ghz - 100hz, switched between smatass to ondemand everyone ounce in awhile and I still was at 36°C. I use setcpu's widget to always check my temp and it never goes higher then 36°C. Fact.

Can anyone else pls tell their usual temps, this got me a bit worried. On browsing the net I achieve 38C, on some intensive games I can get over 40C. When idle it usually stays at 30C, sometimes in the morning I find it with 28C. Is this normal?

Just web browsing over 3g for 20-30 min will heat the phone up pretty warm to the.touch. it also drains about 1% per 1 min of 3g browsing not even streaming. I'm still on 1.73 att. No apps in background and there is no idle battery drain. Is this normal? I'm guessing not brightness is set way under half
This happened to me only when I'm on like YouTube for a while but mine reaches like 110° F :-(

mine gets hot as well just by browsing. it is right on the bottom left of where the camera is
If I just check FB or draw something, this phone will start searing my thigh when I put it back in my pocket. This phone is definitely HOT(not in a good way...)
I have had 0 heat issues (can only feel it heat up while charging)
Maybe this is because I had the iPad 3, so nothing seems hot in comparison
mine only heats up when im charging and using it at the same time (playing games usually)
Maybe someone should make a poll because I'm having zero heat issues. Played few games the other day while waiting for my gf's OBGYN doctor to come in and check out our soon to be baby and we was playing for a good half hour. Barely any heat at all. Charging produces hardly any heat if any heat at all (noticeably anyways).
The highest I've seen so far was 41C while using wifi tether. Since I came from Nitro HD, which goes to 63C when voice talk on skype or gtalk, and makes your brain boil, this didn't bother me a bit...
Mine only gets hot when I use google navigation, which is understandable. It gets warm when I play hanging with friends, but in my experience that game spikes the processor the entire time it's open.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No heat issues at all for me, I tried to put as much load on the phone as I could to test this issue and all is well, it got warm to the touch but no more than any other smartphone I've used in the last ~6 years...
41c is not hot. My Atrix used to rocket up to 60-70. That was too hot. Think about it: 104 is barely warm enough for a hot tub. You can run a fever of 104 and be ok. Yeah, it's high for a person, but come on - dual 1.5ghz with a HD screen? They can't make that stuff make cold instead of heat!! Just saying...
It stays well under 50c. In my mind... *perfect*

Indeed it does! Thanks for the laugh also. I can't see that too many things would warm up the phone more than that. You are using the internet, GPS, and putting a heavy load on the battery at the same time after all.

I am coming from an LG Thrive and using GPS never got as hot as this phone or got hot as fast either. The only time it did get hot was if the sun shined right on it. I put my screen to never shut off and run google maps so that it would update to latitude. The HOX definitely gets very hot on a cloudy day when my Thrive would be just warm if that

Just so we're clear, good build quality will often make the exterior of a device hotter. This helps keep the all-important interior cooler. Having my phone feel hot while being measurably at reasonable temperatures is good! You must be careful not to base your opinion of the device's thermal management on subjective senses rather than measured fact.

And I won't argue the subjective notion of heat on your lap during nav! I know 105-110 feels pretty doggone warm (I had to check the temp to make sure it wasn't overheating), but if the exterior is only a couple degrees different than the interior...? That's good stuff right there.
My phone does seem warm to me now that i think about it but it seems to happen when it wants..
yesterday i noticed it would get pretty warm (not ridiculously hot though) when i would be on it for a few minutes (texting, tweeting, the usual).
but then today it was just fine. it was warm but not like it was yesterday.
not sure if i'm just not used to having a phone with this type of casing, (i had an Inspire previously and it didn't seem to get too hot.) i would figure a phone with a plastic or similar material casing would feel warmer compared to something like with a metal back (correct me if i'm wrong )
I don't think that this phone should get hot. It uses a 28nm process while being just a dual core processor. I think that the voltage might be higher than it should be. We need custom kernels and roms for this baby!!!

Ugh, if there's one thing that annoys me more than anything else, it's the phone getting warm/hot.
If anyone wants to humor me and try this I'd really appreciate it. I want to get an idea of what other users phones are reporting temperature wise.
To get a good idea, if you will, download "batter monitor widget" and/or "system panel lite" from Google Play and use the browser for 5 mins and then use the XDA app for 5 mins and state what your temp is Fahrenheit. Thanks so much to those who try it.
I relocked the bootloader last night and flashed the 1.85 ruu and did all the unlocking and rooting. By the time I was done my phone showed a temp of 104. That seems too hot to me. I'm afraid that if it gets that hot regularly that the battery life will eventually take a hit.
P.S. You can also find the temp by calling *#*#4636#*#* and clicking on battery information.
After 15 minutes of playing Dungeon Hunter 2 I'm at 102.4F.
Do you want this done on wifi or cellular data? Using the cell radio will task the battery more than the wifi...
UPDATE: using cellular data on ics browser plus and xda app. After minutes of each, temp is 87 Fahrenheit. Maybe you have a dud? Mine doesn't usually get hot unless I'm playing a graphically intensive game

I test mine with wifi on. I noticed it makes a difference if the room temperature is really warm i.e. no AC or fans. If it's really cool my will stay in the 80's but if it's mid day and it's like 85 outside and around 80 in the house I will notice just by browsing that it can reach about 95 almost every time.
I took one phone back already because I thought it was getting too warm but I'm on my 3rd One X now and all three have had the same temps overall so I'm thinking either I got three bad phones all with heating issues or it's normal.
I have OCD and see a psychologist and I mentioned to him about how I might be just obsessing and he told me that I WAS and to just stop thinking about it. He said that devices do get warm with use and any temp, even around 100, is normal for a smart phone because of the processing it does. He told me to take a look at his mac and see what the internal temp was and it was like 120 just after sitting idle.
I probably shouldn't have made this thread because most likely it looks like I'm just seeking reassurance, but I was curious to what other temps you guys were getting. Hopefully it would set my mind at ease.
P.S. I bothers me because we spend so much on these phones that I want one as close to perfect as I can get. If I see that I'm the only one with temps like 85-99 just from browsing for 10 mins or so then I know there is something wrong. On the other hand I wish I could just forget about it and use the phone normally.
These temps are well within the normal range. I have had the pleasure of owning about 10 phones in the last two years, all high end android phones. The heat dissipation of this phone is excellent compared to the international Galaxy S 2 HTC Infuse, Motorola Atrix and so on. Sadly there is no perfect phone but this is the closest you're going to get for now

Heat is Li-Ion's biggest enemy. You are right to be concerned. Anything over 86 degrees F is wearing down the electrolyte.
Humidity and ambient temp have a lot to do with the ability to get rid of heat. Just asking what temp a phone reaches after 5 minutes of some activity doesn't really give enough info. Ambient temp should also be posted along with results, and humidity if available. Altitude/air pressure also has an effect on getting rid of heat(should be minimal unless you are comparing sea level vs 5000 feet).

Usually when I'm not using my phone the temperature stays around 27C. But when I use a small app like messaging for a minute or so it shoots up to about 35C or more.
Another thing is that when I keep my phone for charging it's temperature rises upto 55C or more. Once it went to 60C.
Is this normal or is my battery faulty?
Btw for the battery stats I use Minimalist Text.

When your phone is not in use and not charging: around 33C and below is completely normal.
When your phone is in charge but not in use: around 40C and below is normal.
When your phone is in use but not charging: then 40C and below is normal depending on what you're running. it may go up to 45C depending on your kernel and max CPU frequency and also how heavily an app consumes resources e.g high graphic games (it also depends on the weather ).
In Summary: 35C and below is completely normal when NOT in use, 45C and below is normal when in use, 50C+ is quiet dangerous in any condition especially when not in use, 60C + Immediately stop using your phone and you'll wanna head to the freezer fast and change your battery or phone.
Always remember: NEVER use you phone while charging.
Ok thanks for the replies... I'll keep the things in mind.

Actually it got automatically Overclocked when I flashed the MIUI ROM. Any Overclocking app was not installed, so I installed setcpu to make profiles for charging. But problems started to occur after that. So I uninstalled it and those problems disappeared. Well I checked with an app. It remains on 1.2ghz only 14%.
Maybe the temperature is due to the summer. 33C outside.
Anyways I've come up with my own way to keep my phone cool. I place it on a wet cloth. And that does help.

My phone usually gets hot when I'm using it heavily and even more when I'm charging + playing games but this morning was different. I almost thought it's dead lol. I was running cm7. now I'm using miui GB based, phone still overheats but not like before.

Custom rom/kernel is main reason of overheating and others misunderstoods. Keep that in mind :thumbup:

My s3 gets hot so fast. I'll be looking at tweets or browsing pulse and BAM. I don't even want to hold it, its so hot. Yes I am on a custom ROM, cm10 to be specific but this happens to me on stock as well. My governor setting are default for the rom, no custom kernels installed. What do you guya recommend? Should I return it and will vzw accept it?

How hot is it getting? Actual temps I mean.
Install system tuner and that will give you cpu temps. I can't think off hand of any apps except wifi tether for root users that will give you a battery temp.
Before I got a case I thought my phone was getting way too hot, turns out it was no where near dangerous levels but it was hotter than other phones I've had. It's just a thing with the S3.
I'm not sure what could be wrong but just want to throw in that my phone does not get hot at all, it doesn't even get a little warm, and I use my phone quite a bit, pulse is one of my favorites, I play a couple games etc. I am stock but was running CM10 and my phone never got hot.
Sorry I couldn't help just wanted to let you know that simply using your phone shouldn't make it hot, not sure why yours is like that.

What temperatures are in the "redzone" as far as the phone's safety. I'm Overclocked and will sometimes get up to about 120F, but have seen it get as high as 130 before.
To the OP, can you give us any numbers? I use System Tuner to find out mine.

The 4g is one of the biggest culprits for heat. My phone heats right up if I'm tethering or downloading directly. And I imagine there's a lots of back and forth data with Twitter along with the other browsing he mentioned.

Those temps are fine. If I have my phone plugged in and tethering I've seen low 150s. I usually try to cool it down at that point but just so it won't go higher. I've been told that 160f shouldn't hurt it.

Awesome! Thanks! My old laptop would often get up to almost 200, in fact it would idle around 180, but I was pretty sure the phones would withstand far less due to the fact that it is in a much smaller package and that there is no heatsink, I just wasn't sure how high it can go.

A CPU is a CPU pretty much. The heatsink just helps keep the temp down. Equivalent of taking the back of our phone and putting a fan on it almost.
Critical temp is around 180. Our phones will automatically shut down

Lol kindve dangerous if your not careful but I put my phone in a airtight zip lock back and ran cold water on the outside, cooled down pretty quickly. Dont let water touch the zip part of course, but maybe another option.

Thanks for the tip! i've been having the same concerns. I'll be downloading the system tuner software to keep an eye on the heat.
Noticed change to phones ability to take a charge
I had my phone get quite hot the other day after I switched to cleanrom 6.5 and now the phone doesn't want to take a charge like it did before. Could that be some indication of some damage done?
I didn't have the frame of mind to check the temp at the time. It was noticeable hot though. Even through the case.

I would advise against that. at the very least use room temp water, not cold. sudden temp changes are never good. could induce cracking in the glass or other components
