Battery temps. What are yall seeing?

Im running drods 1.5ghz kernel set at 1.4ghz and bamf 1.3 with extended battery. at idle the phone runs around 87. But when performing simple tasks like streaming music through bt or using kik it quickly gets up too around 108. Is this normal should i be worried? My incredible oced too 1.2 would never breach 100 even if i was throwing everything at it.

108 is not a bad temperature don't sweat it. I usually set my safety profile for 120.0
I has an overcloked d1 running 1.25ghz constantly running between 105-115. Zero problems and my friend is using it a year and a half later as his phone.
I would recommend you use a setcpu profile to bring the overclock down while charging too. Phone gets hot while charging.

I use a wall charger for my battery's. ive also noticed it only really gets this hot with the radio on with kik running in the background or any small task really. On wifi it cools right on down. weird. Thanks for your input

I don't really pay to much attention to the battery temperature (maybe I should?) But I have seen it range from 84F - 102F when glancing at the battery stats.

I'll easily get over 100. But it's also 90 outside anyways. It does seem to get hotter than other phones, I don't know why. Using current widget I can see that it pulls a lot of mA.
I don't run much under 85 all the time.

Ya i live in florida its starting to get up there. Guess ill live with.

I had the Tbolt in the car the other day (gps mode) when i undocked it it was really hot / checking i saw it at 55C (131 F) / Usually its bet 28 and 34 C

Mines 88 @ work right now surfing on 4g 66% battery left according to setcpu off of newest bamf and the new kernal. Room temp is about 77... CPU set to smartass haha I love this stuff I have not touched my awesome custom built by me gaming pc all weekend aside from rooting my tbolt

I'm overclocked to 1408. My GPS is on along with wifi. Just finished Playing a game (Geared) and my temp is 96 degrees.

My phone was idle for a while, picked it up was 80. Opened internet and came here after a couple posts 90.

105* under heavy usage

87-95 depending on how heavy usage is. Never above 100 for me. (Extended Battery btw)

Running the TB @ 1.2ghz and I get a usual of 25-35c.

my phone idle while charging with wifi on is 35 celcius.........i cnt find Fahrenheit on my phone anywhere -__-

How hot is hot?

Seeing as how we don't haves cpu temp monitor, can someone enlighten me on what is considered to hot? At what point should I get worried?

So today..... I woke up and my Xoom was under a pillow. It was AMAZINGLY hot, checking the battery temp was over 150F and the screen wouldn't power on (overclocked to 1.6). EDIT: Check the battery temp after it powered on.....
I did a power + Vol up to restart and it turns out the battery had no charge, charged it up and its working fine now. Still cant believe it got that hot though..... Only time will tell how it works in the future but I may have just done a really sound heat test?!
Hopefully not too sad of a day in the life of my Xoom!

My CPUMaster widget displays cpu temp. You can set a temperature profile which can reduce clock speed if the temp reaches a pre-determined level.

Plus 1 to this awesome app.. Use it on my phone and tab..
Isnt there a recommended temp somewhere like spec sheet or is that only ambient.. Come to think i guess it is

I have done alot of reading on this subject and could fill a whole page on explaining it, here is the short version. I am a power user and oc to 1.6, have my xoom in a enclosed case (no ventilation) and I have to work very hard to get my temp to 98. F. If you are seeing temps 98+ temps without heavy, heavy use then there may be a problem somewhere.

What temperatures are acceptable for overclocking?

My sensation is currently overclocked at 1.73ghz, and according to a temperature widget I have it seems to hover between 25-45 degrees. I can only find the one temperature reading, so I think this will be the battery temp. I've set setCPU up to run at 1.73ghz below 35 degrees, then come down to 1.5ghz above it. If it gets to 50 degrees, it's then set to drop to absolute minimum and play a warning sound. I've also set it to drop to minimum when the screen is off to save power if the phone doesn't sleep, and to not exceed 1.2ghz when on charge or during a call. None of them are fixed, they're set to intellidemand or whatever it's called.
Do these settings sound reasonable? What sort of temps would be deemed as normal? I don't want to shorten the life of the phone if I can help it.
Also, if this temperature reading is just for the battery, what would I need to monitor CPU temperature too? Is there an app available so I can actually log the temps to see what happens when playing games, etc?

Cheers, I'll give it a try.
What sort of temperatures are acceptable before I risk the CPU's lifespan?
Sent from my HTC sensation using Tapatalk

Why do you need these over clock speeds? They will only ultimately increase temp, burn excessive battery and reduce the life span of your device.
Use common sense, these speeds are only worth using for bench mark tests
Personally anything above 43 is to hot for my device, although not same as yours, you can use set CPU to throttle down at this temp
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

I mainly wanted to overclock since the normal sensation was underclocked in the first place, the sensation xe runs at 1.5ghz and the CPU is the same. So I wanted at least that. What I'm wanting to do now is find how quick it can be before it starts running too hot. Just wondering what's considered too hot in the first place.
Sent from my HTC sensation using Tapatalk

My web browsing is much better (faster and smoother) at higher clockspeeds and performance governor. So that's why I run higher speeds. I use my phone for internet stuff more than anything else.
matt

Mine seemed smoother too, for normal use and for my emulators. I found a problem though, setCPU wouldn't let the phone sleep so my battery went from 85% to dead overnight! It also seemed a little unstable even when turned back down to 1.53ghz, so I've uninstalled it and it's now running 1.53ghz just from the kernel. Runs perfectly now and battery life is back to normal. No noticeable difference in performance going from 1.73ghz down to 1.53ghz either, but now the battery temp seems to top out at 35-40 degrees or so, so about 5-10 degrees less than when it was set higher. I'll still give that app a go though so it can monitor and log temps while I'm playing games, etc.

Battery Temperature problem

I've been having some problems with my battery temperature...
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.
I'm on the MIUI ROM by TheFrankenstain. Overclocked to 1.2ghz.
Any input will be helpful. Thanks.

My battery goes up to 55 degrees during charge .. That and the other temperature's are fine.. But touching 60 is abnormal..
Heavy usage during charge is not recommended, and specially with overclock will screw up ur device..

Dont set phone freq to 1.2 ghz always. While charging keep max freq to 800 mhz & min 300 mhz.

Charge, overclock & play an online game over wifi all at the same time and you'll fry your phone dude...

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.

O.M.G, are you out of your mind? Dude!
Never ever ever ever ever (infinity ever's) put your phone NEAR water, not even ON it! water, or a cloth with water, whatever! just don't do it!
And.. just sayin' since you just did put it on a cloth with water, don't put it in the freezer! /sarcasm
Seriously dude, don't do it.

Ok. But i don't keep the cloth that much wet. Anyways it was due to the overclocking. I flashed the stock rom back and everything was back to normal. Except one little thing. Well that thing needs another thread. I'll not discuss it here.

I'm having the same problem. Just this morning, I was charging my phone and left it under my pillow. I wasn't even using it and when I came back to check my emails it was hella hot! 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.

Hello guys,
Guys post your battery temp during normal use,gaming,heavy app use plz..m facing heating issues and want to compare with other Xperia L's

This is during my normal use with 3G which heats upto 40 sometimes

I cannot said what the temperature is when I use 3G as my data package is out for this month already, but I think the temperatures provided by you are normal. Like when you are playing Fifa the CPU is cooler than mine. I think they are normal. Most of modern phone's have heating issue during playing.

Well, don't think so. My phone also heats up during charging when I use it. I'm not sure if this work or not but you of course when you wan't can enable option that Nexus 4 has. It's like when a phone reach certain temperature a cpu/gpu clock is lower to prevent battery overheated.
I don't have it enable as mostly I don't play or do anything more stressful that will make phone hot.

dude you have a fit right...oh you sold it, still that device was about half as powerful okay 1/3 rd yet the battery temp with 0 activity and mostly in deep sleep is at 30 C.
now xperia L is way more powerful so should get a tad bit hotter too right(of course that's based on CPU activity) try it put is down for say two hours no charging , no nothing so that in deep sleep(lowest freq) also no 3g(that has its own daemon that eats cpu power i.e. causes cpu to work and hence battery drain and heat). wifi is okay(stable connection hence minimal cpu usage as no reconnections).
now check yor battery temp should be around 35C so your device is fine.
all this is based on stock heat and power management cant comment on custom kernels.

if you are on a custom kernel the best practice is to uv and NOT oc also change the governor to Interactive since thats far better than performance.(spimply put performance goes to top cpu freq even when not required and slowly scales down while interactive scales up fast and down fast at user touch events) for heating and basic phone wear and tear purposes.
and one of the main reason along with more ram(i mean lower bloat hence more free ram) that i want a cyanogen mod ROM.

Before and after playing candy crush.lol
When charging,it will up to 37-39 degrees

Qualcomm makes the MSM8230 chip that you see in L, there are 4 different "types" based on how it meets their quality standards. These are Slow, Nominal and Fast (Faster is on Higher end chips like APQ8064). The main difference IIRC between these types is how stable each can handle undervolting. CPUs that are "Fast" for example come pre-configured at a lower nominal voltage than a "Nominal" type CPU, and more so than a "Slow" type. IIRC, there's like only a -50mV difference between Fast and Slow out of the box, however Fast CPUs should be able to handle lower voltages than Slow-type.
This may explain why some people complain higher temp than others on account of same tasks. Although there can be other reasons. I'm not quite sure.
To find out what binned CPU you have, I recommend the following:
YOU MUST BE ROOTED! And installed busybox
1) Install Terminal Emulator
2) Reboot your phone
3) Open Terminal Emulator, and type:
su
dmesg | grep PVS
(if you don't see anything, try it.immediately after fresh reboot)
For example I've fast binned cpu

So basically, far as I understand I got Fast CPU which isn't going to be as hot as the Slow type due to lower voltage ?

then go for ondemand the performance might be a tad bit slower than preformance governor but your battery life should be better along with the heating...also no oc.
