[Q] What is your normal and high battery temp?

I have been watching my battery temp with batstat, noticed normaly its around 76-80 degrees, underclocked with screen off , and when running apps like maps or a game and on the charger it reads 101+ at times , I just want to know what is the normal temp and high temp for everyone else, stock or rooted , under or over clocked, what app makes your temp go up the most and so on, Thanks, this is my first post.

Your temps seem pretty normal. Nothing out of the ordinary, I don't really watch my temps though. I know the hottest it ever got was 105.3, I am usually around 80-85 when just doing normal things though. I'm OC'd to 1.2GHz, Smartass, BAMF 4.4.1 kernel.

what is the highest tempature to be cautious about , and can you explain the smartass any better? im running 1.2 also and smartass

I'm not sure about what is the highest, I know you don't really want it getting to 105 and staying there for an extended period of thim, it was quite hot then. I'm not sure how to explain smartass, i'm not a dev of any kind lol, I believe it's a more agressive "interactive" governor, with an auto screen off profile, but don't quote me on that. I believe Adrynalyne has a post/blog about it, forget where that was though, sorry.

105 is pretty normal actually. 130+ is the range you want to avoid at all costs. Mine usually hovers around 108ish.

And your phone isn't hot as hell when you hold it? Where is 105 normal for temp?
I hover around here with normal use

Its warm but not hot. Same with my Droid 2 would usually hover around 105.

You must have never been cold in the winter

Ive never seen 130 + , but running the navigation and on the charger for an extended amout of time it gets pretty hot , I havent used my t-bolt nav. for a couple of hours but with my D1 i used it for 8 hours strait I was scared it was going to over heat , I could imagin the t-bolt over heating running the nav for that long of a time period.

My tbolt runs significantly hotter than my Droid X did. The x would usually stay I the 80-90 range and almost never get over 100*. While my tbolt runs in the 90-100 range and has even got up to 115* a couple times while it was on the charger.

When charging my Tbolt battery gets around 102.
I noticed after installing TelsaCoil 1.5 the battery gets hotter while charging. Not sure what would cause this...

At 118 the overheating light flashes red and green... Had mine at 120 a few times charging and using it with a case on it, so now I don't use it while charging with the case on.

They need to start putting in CPU fans in the phones lol. Sometimes I can feel my phone getting warm without me messing with it . And can't figure out why

Where is our temp sensor how close to cpu is it?

Ok so the temperature in my room is 5degrees the tf has been closed up all night and ive just woken up turn on tf unlock look at cpu spy to check for deep sleep etc look on my clock i see on temp reading 20degrees i double check with other apps its the same the outer case was stone cold and i thought just how close is the temperature sensor to the cpu?

My guess would be in the CPU or CPU socket..

Um, the temp being displayed on the clock and your other apps is not a temperature reading of the current ambient temperature around the device.
To my knowledge, there is no temperature sensor located on the device to measure the local temperature. The temperature being displayed on your clock is coming from an outside source displaying your local outside temperature.

No i use the sense clock with battery temp readings and have a little digital weather station in my room which has almost become redundant because of the asus weather widget but you get my point.
My room temp was 5degrees my battery sensor was 20 so thats why i thought maybe the battery sensor is right next to the cpu
Sent from my tf101 using xda premium 1.4ghz

The temp sensor should be built inside the cpu, at least last time I checked that was the trend, not sure about this particular case. However! Electronics heat up extremely fast, for example my computer goes from off to the BIOS setup page and already it's more than 10 degrees above room temperature. And then it idles there, not gaining or losing anything significative, it's just at it's working temperature. So my guess is exactly that.
Also check the manual, the TF probably has a working temperature range between 0 - 35 Celsius, and it's not good to use it outside it's working range. Talking about room temperature, just to be clear.

I just wonder if its a semi accurate guege of cpu temp ie how close they are in the internal space
Plus overclocking you want to be able to guege the cpu temp to find good operating range

Based on my TF, I can't help but wonder if those overclocking need to compensate for something more than just extra heat build up.

Lowest Cpu setting

Im gonna try my MT4G @ SetCpu 537 max 122min.
Anybody ever try using that daily?
Wonder what the consequences would be.

Mite lag the whole day

We'll see Im running it on Miui ...

I don't think you'll see much improvement. That rom already gives over a day's battery life.
At some point the phone will take longer doing normal tasks and the length of the task will outweigh the battery saved. It would be interesting to find a sweet spot.

Yea that's what you have to realize. You have to maintain a healthy balance!
I run 1017 ghz smartass. No setcpu or anything. Text practically all day. Phone calls for maybe half hour collectively, game for a good hour or hour and a half, cause I get bored. And a lot of browsing XDA, Fantasy Football, and tracking the packages I order. I'm so happy because with this balance I get everything flying by my fingers and still amazing battery. Running Royal Ginger 3.0 with there Kernel. Amazing! :-D

Possible drawbacks might be WiFi dropouts, sync failures, etc. There is a minimal allowed frequency for a device, and it's for a good reason.

I had trouble when I set the min below 350 (or whatever the exact value is). It gets laggy after a wake up for a few seconds if I go lower. So I'd wake the phone, then have to wait a few seconds to do anything after any click on any icon while it spun up the extra power.
At 350 it was plenty to wake the phone up into a usable state and I didn't notice any lag at all going form 350 to 1000 when it needed the extra power.
Running Cyanogen and using it for 30-45 minutes of calls a day, ample texting, and 30-45 minutes of Angry Birds I get 2 full days out of the battery before I need a charge.
But I also don't leave data on. That was the battery key for me. Data turns on in 2 seconds, so I only turn it on when I need it. If I want to see a website I hit the data button and by the time the browser loads I've got a connection. Since I don't care about instant notifications of email, I just don't need data on all the time so there's no point in using battery life for it. If I ever do need it on constantly, it's available to me and I'll drop down to 1 day of battery.

Same settings and about the same battery life here on CM7 with demonspeed kernel. The smartass governor with 122/1017 works great

I'd suggest not doing that but just keep the default settings by system.

Heating issue S7(Exynos)

As a test I played 'NFS No Limits' in my Galaxy S7(Exynos) for about 20 min and I felt hotness all over the metal sides especially more in the area near power button. Also the back of the phone was a lot warm for touch. Is this expected from the S7 even with the heat elimination method inside. Below linked image is the results I recorded. Kindly take a look at the CPU temperature as well as the battery performance throughout the test.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B60MJrdiGFpZREM4enF5VVduUG8/view
Please note that Game Launcher optimizations were no used.
Is everything fine based on the above results?
PS: Even watching YouTube videos(in native app) for like 6 min makes the device a bit warm with CPU Temp to 34C from 30C(Idle state). Still normal?

I just bought mine this afternoon and it was a bit warm when loading the updates which I would expect is normal when downloading big software updates. Right now it feels normal.

Well if you have time, please play and see how 'NFS No Limits' is on yours I see stuttering in game when there is rain. To measure CPU temp at regular intervals use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yanyan.cputemp

I repeated your test of NFS No Limits for 20 minutes using the CPU temperature app on a Galaxy S7 (Exynos). My results were similar:
Before test: 35C (it had heated up from 32C idle to install the game and app for the test)
At 7, 13, 17 and 20 minutes: 38C.
Battery before test: 35%
Battery after test 27%.
I also saw stuttering with the rain. The game was very smooth initially.
So very, very similar results.

ideal over 30c?? mine is under 27c...28-29c after 30min of browsing, yours seems defective or you are having rouge app thats using your cpu.

Seems similar. Still don't know why some guys are having better cooling.

38 is not that warm. My G906K would get up to 49 c while I was in the sauna and would not have a problem. If the phone gets too warm it will go into standby mode stating it needs to cool down

Op location? Dubai? Room temp 30c ?

That app does not show real cpu temp...

at best what you have is battery temp.
And that was just because google services starter acting up ( from 9 to 15% usage in 10 min, consumed 6% battery ), no gaming or heavy use.

The therm_zoneX values are in no way related to CPU as far as I can see from these pics(attached).

The CPU is the hottest thing in the device; therm_zoneX reads are 75, normal for a CPU under load, therefore they indicate CPU temp.

Question Pixel 7 Pro - Overheating issues

I'm facing overheating issues while using video call on my pixel 7 pro. So scare for this temperature 45*C while doing video call. My old pixel 4xl has no issue so far, still working fine.

Mine is at 35c in my pocket with the screen off listening to music. Battery draining like crazy.

Damn it.. so my old pixel 6 pro always over heated and I just purchased a pro 7 was hoping it wasn't over heating and well

Gotta wait for the pixel 12 pro

Over what? 36C* is not over. At least no visible throttling.. winter is coming

I must be good then. I'm at 29.8C while using my phone

A factory reset solved my problem with overheating and draining the battery.

The only video calls I use are WhatsApp, which I've done a few of on this phone. I've noticed they result in a slight increase in temperature, but no more than 38/39 degrees after about 10 minutes.

After the factory reset I made a clean instal of everything. I only migrate some videos with nearby function. Maybe you should try a clean instal without migrating your stuff first.

I just unlocked my Bootloader, setting things up and this phone is hot as hell. Hot enough that the Flash is disabled

My Pixel 6 Pro used to hit 45c if you broke wind and it heard you, thankfully my Pixel 7 Pro does run significantly cooler but video calling does seem to be a bit of an Achilles' heel of Tensor. Video calling however does push the radios, the camera and the processor so it is going to heat up innit and if 45C was too hot the phone would shut its self off in self preservation so is it really anything to worry about?
I am not saying this is the same with Tensor but the latests Ryzen processors are designed to hit a thermal limit rather than a power limit so they instantly hit 95C under load where as previously 95C was an absolute no no, you're going to kill the CPU so don't go there, maybe this is just the way forwards.

The problem is the battery can't really exceed 45C without starting to degrade. And obviously it wouldn't be possible to hold a phone that was dissipating 95C worth of heat through the body lol.
That said, I did a video call today on Zoom for an hour and the phone didn't heat up even as much as my old 12 Pro Max did. I checked AccuBattery and the battery was around 38C which is like 1-3 degrees more than the normal usage scenario I've been experiencing and far from being concerning.

Thing is the P6P hit 45C as regular as the tides without worldwide outcry of the phone or battery being damaged, you just had a lot of people (generally in very hot countries) saying my phone is too hot and i have not really done anything, it is hitting 45c all the time and my camera flash has been turned off.
Mine used to hit 45C just sat in my pocket when i was outside in the summer and i am in the UK where at 25C everyone is melting and moaning they cannot stand this intense heat while the rest of the world laughs at us for flapping on a warm day.
45C seems to be a magic number, it is always 45C and you very rarely see it go higher, 45C sounds like a thermal limit to me and maybe just like Ryzen this is how Tensor is set to run, hit the thermal limit first to maximise processor efficiency.
Of course i am probably very wrong as this is all speculation on my part, the reality is Tensor just runs hot like the Exynos processors it is based on I'd have thought.

My brother-in-law has a Pixel 6 Pro, and when I showed him my 7 Pro on a family gathering last weekend the first thing he asked about was the heat levels. He said he loves the 6 Pro, but the overheating on it is ridiculous. He said the phone was basically unusable when we went through a heatwave in the UK here a few months back were 40c was hit in a couple of locations.
My experience of the 7 Pro so far (I've had it just under 2 weeks) is 95% of the time it will sit between 30c and 35c in normal use, and occasionally tip towards 39/40 if you do something which stresses it. I've had it go over 40c on one occasion but that was after 4-5 reboots in 5-10 minutes when I was messing around with various settings after rooting it. Overall it's been more than reasonable for me.
I also strongly recommend sticking the CPU governor on schedutil.

Once activated I found my phone spent more time closer to 30c than it did 35c under normal use. And for what I use the phone for I noticed no performance hit, although that might differ for others.
It's also worth pointing out that, phone SOCs, like other silicon, can differ in quality. So one 7 Pro could run a task with the CPU at 33c and another seemingly identical phone run it a degree or two higher or lower.
