Battery temperature question - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Just curious, My S3 battery averages between roughly 89-102 degrees. The phone itself runs quite cool with the custom rom I am on. How high of a threshold is the battery safe to go to? I have read some getting it up to 140 degrees, 102 worries me but I know the GPU's in my computer run over 200 degrees (though they are a completely different thing).
Just figured i'd ask, thanks guys!

If that's Fahrenheit 89-102 your talking about (31-39 Celsius) your OK depending on ambient temperature.
Mostly everyone quotes Celsius, that's why I ask. Ninety degrees Celsius you're in trouble that's way to high.
Hope this Help's

Haha yes, sorry this is in Fahrenheit. I'll have to remember to use Celsius from now on. Average ambient temperatures has been pretty high and humid here as well, probably close to 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit >.<.
Thanks for the reply!

(Q)Battery Temp?

What is the Battery Temp. supposed to be around on these phones?
And i possibly think the temp. monitor on Battery Life widget by Curvefish may be inaccurate.
On my Epic 4G its pretty accurate and around 70*F is normal Temp. At 82-86*F is Medium watching videos. 92-98*F is when i'm playing games. 100-108*F is when i'm OC'ed and playing games.
Shoot when my Epic is idling or the screen has been off for about more than 10 mins its around 74*F and if its been around a half an hour it will even drop down to about 54-56*F.
But on the NS4G it seems like anything i do seems like normal is 96.8*F, it takes a while to drop down to around 84-86*F. and when i'm watching videos or browsing XDA its at 102*F and gaming is at 104*F whether i'm OC'ed or not. The lowest iv'e seen the NS4G drop to was about 78*F and that was because it was a sleep for a long time(Hours).
So is it just the Battery Temp actually that high or is that app just not working too well with NS4G
Do you really think your epic's battery is in the 50s F ? That is far colder then any room temperature. Unless you're in the southern hemisphere and are outside in the cold your battery is simply not in the 50's
as for my daily use, like reading electronic book , few minutes of 3G internet and background music...
temp always between in 34 - 38 °C , which equals 93 - 100 °F
when i play 3D high-end games for about hour or so, it even came up to 105 °F ...
50 °F is about 10 °C, it is possible during winter ...but no in July...

Yep because my phone is cold when I pick it up like its 60. And when I was outside in January it was 30F because it was on the table and cold as hell. I do live in the south.

isn't the battery's max temp supposed to be around 120*F or 45*C and it automatically shuts itself off?
i think being in the 100's around near it all day is kind of killing the life expectancy of it?

nope for me, listening music while laying on the beach ( I live in Italy...) my battery run up to 40°C-104°F and sometimes even at 51°C-123°F, my personal best!
during sleep time in summer phone never drops down below 28°C-85°F, while in winter same condition is 22°C-71°F, so for what I suppose there's something wrong with cpu "cooling" cause is too much depending on outside temp, but running on same battery since I've purchased it, 06/11, every night charge and still same result as battery duration, so nevermind about phone temp, our nexus is a great phone...

High Temperature Z3

hi, my z3 gets around 45-48 degree celcius while idling. and could get up to 58 degree celcius while playing game. is that normal? if its not, how can i fix it?
Seems pretty warm for idling. Do you live in a hot place/region? What apps have you downloaded? Maybe there are some errant apps. As for games yea Im not surprised if its getting that hot.
Sorry for the necroing the thread, but this is relevant. I live in Eastern Canada and right now it is the winter time. My house is room temperature and this my phone's "tsens_tz_sensor0" is fluctuating between 47 to 50 degrees Celsius.
Sensor 5 is fluctuating between 54 to 56 degrees Celsius. Sensor 6 is between 45 to 46. Sensor 8 is between 43 to 45. The other sensors show minimal to no change at all.
Is this normal?? My phone has an unlocked bootloader, I'm running updated, stock CA generic rom, and it is rooted. Before unlock of the bootloader, my phone was running fine temperature wise, but I did not check the temperature checking app.

I was Searching for Temperature issues with Z3 because i have temps of about 40-42 C when recording Videos..
Coming across with this it seems really bad.
and i am recording at 1080p 30fps and after about 15mins i get the Temperature too high warning, is that normal??
I Live in a Pretty Hot Place but i have My S3 Beat it like its no big deal.. it can go for about an hour at same settings
Yeah it's expected the S3 has an older 1.4 Ghz A9 CPU, the Z3's 801 runs at 2.5 Ghz which means higher voltage and in turn temps. Samsung also allow the chipset to run hotter.
Do you use the FB messenger?
I found it caused my phone battery drain and warm.
Uninstalled and fixed.

Hi, please tell us how do you realize that?
My another forum group found it and share to us.
As far as I know Z3 don't have any sensor for temperature measure :-?
How you guys can give such accurate readings?

HIGH Temps on S5!?

I just updated to the new S5 Verizon update otherwise known as lollipop 5.0 and i never really checked my temps back in 4.4.4 but my CPU temp is at 110 degrees Fahrenheit(58 degrees Celsius) and 98 degrees Fahrenheit battery (37 degrees Celsius) Im in a pretty warm room with the house temp set at like 75 degrees. Are these temps still abnormal though even with my house set pretty warm
Perfectly normal temps for a high-end device in use in a warm environment. Not normal for an idle device. What were you doing on it? Were you holding it encased in your hand?
You should start worrying around 80ºC.

Its quite normal for your device to warm up slightly during heavy use or in a warm environment. since you've been using it, you would know if it feels warmer than before. Most causes of Android phones heating up are bad battery, bad PSU and heavy apps or processes running. You can read his guide on how to fix an overheating Android phone if you feel it gets warmer thanusual to help diagnose possible causes and how to resolve.

Galaxy s6 throttling as hell

Since I bought my gs6 I have noticed the soc temp heat up very quickly and couse a massive throttling of the gpu above all ...so that performances go down of 50% expecially when running antutu ...is that normal or should i send back my phone to warranty
every CPU throttles, the S810 throttles even more, they have to, and don't run benchmarks, they won't do you any good, if in day to day usage the phone heats up it's normal, my S6 do heat up but i never noticed throttling, i never noticed lag when it becomes hot.....try to use your phone normally without ****ty benchmarks...
Thanks for your answer
Yes I know benchmarks are quite worthless ..but it's not just about that..i notice this even while gaming ,browsing and even doing light stuff ..its however pretty much annoying

i don't play games that much, i only play couple of games like boom beach, i don't know if this game considered heavy or light, but if i play it for about half an hour the phone heats up a bit but it doesn't lag at all....in light usage usually it doesn't heat up, but even if it heats up i never notice lag, the phone stutters in some places but no lag.....

Hi,
Please install the app called CPU-Z to check your device temperature. Also keep in mind that depending on where you live, it's easier to heat up than on other regions, as the external temperature does make a difference.
To throttle it needs to get very hot. Check if you have Mobile Data and Location turned on when not needed, and specially Mobile data when you're out of range, they consume lots of power and heats the device up considerably. Also, Wifi if not connected will keep searching for somewhere to connect and consequently will use your device power and heat up.
Another thing to keep an eye on is background apps and the external temperature as mentioned before. On S4 I faced a serious battery drain and overheat problem due to background apps not letting it sleep.
All the best,

Already have cpu z on it
The temps get up to 80 degrees celsius when under really heavy usage ..of course this temp refers to cpu not to battery that stays always around 33 and 37 degrees
P.s i dont notice lag either. .even when performance decrease its good enough..i was only qondering wether it is normal or not
You may have a lemon S6. Return your S6 to Samsung for warranty replacement.

Hi,
80 degrees Celsius seems a bit high to me, like mentioned I'd check with Samsung if this device has a defective thermal dissipation.

yep maybe i'll do
if only someone could send a screen (of cpuz ) showing their temps under usage i' d be able to compare these to mine and see what to do

Hi,
Here's a screenshot of my device idle:
http://i.imgur.com/rS0VHnR.jpg
And here's one of my device after running AnTuTu benchmark:
http://i.imgur.com/hbNIngV.jpg
I noticed that during the benchmark it got to the 80 degrees range, but it lasted a few seconds, if your device get to 80 degrees and stay at it, maybe it isn't dissipating hear correctly.

OK then there must be a problem with my device....I actually donno what other things could couse this abnormal heat but a production defeat....maybe the weather? ? I live in italy and here is 34 degrees..but i doubt it
Hmmm temp of the device cant be lower than your temp of ambient. Ill post screenshot pf mine after some minutes.i live in kosovo and temp here is aroud 33 today
Here is mine... dont forget bcoze case and screenprotector keeps your phone warmer. I dont use any. I use my phone naked

80 sounds crazy not a bit high
80 its high but device can reach that temp sometimes. Example if you play and fast charge same time it can get that temp. And not to forget outside real temp. Here its so hot... up to 40degrees
Hi All,
80 degrees is not as extremely as you might think. People tend to think its too crazy or high because they never would have seen it and the most times they check their cpu temps on CPU-Z it will be hovering around 40-50 degrees. The best way to check your temps in S6 is to open CPU-Z/AIDA64, have it minimised in a smaller window and drag it to the very corner of one side, while this is running, open a game like dead trigger/skyforce and notice the temps. Also, do the same while performing an antutu test. Yes, the scores will be greatly reduced and the temps will be a tiny bit higher because of this smaller window running simultaneously, but you can compare your temps pretty easily. Also, try to be present in a ambient temp of 26 degrees rather than upwards of 30 for a fair comparison with fellow users. According to me, 80 comes up at times but it lasts only for seconds (S6 starts throttling exactly at 80 and beyond that the core clocks gets aggressive reductions) but it will never be constand even while running a game. Mine CPU idles @35 degrees with ambient temp being 26-30.
My temps : (All temps in Celsius)
Ambient temperature 26 - 30 degrees :
Battery temp : 25-30 degrees
Idle : 32-35 degrees
Slight tasks (Whatsapp, checking notifications) : 37-39 degrees
Multiple applications : 38-43 degrees
Game - hungry shark evolution : 47-52 degrees
Game - Dead Trigger : 55-62 degrees.
Ambient temperature 31-36 degrees :
Battery temp : 33-37 degrees
Idle : 41-44 degrees
Slight tasks (Whatsapp, checking notifications) : 46-50 degrees
Multiple applications : 47-55 degrees
Game - hungry shark evolution : 55 degrees
Game - Dead Trigger : 65-70 degrees.
Also i've noticed that the CPU temps increase for a flash second to 65 above while installing multiple apps from playstore. Try updating/installing multiple apps from playstore, have the CPU-Z open, and exactly while the app finishes downloading and starts installing, there will be sudden spikes in temperatire depending on your ambient conditions. But, never reaches high temps constantly.
all right, thank you all guys for your replies. So..i sent my phone back to samsung and got a new one 2 days ago,i can definitely confirm that the phone heats up exactly like the previous one , maybe just slightly less(i mean 3 degrees..nothing craze).
For anyone suffering of this ''issue", notice that temps may drastically change depending on wheater temperature ,humidity, etc. if weather is at 40 degrees ur phone wont surely get to a lower temp.
BTW it s clear that this phone heats up and throttles ,some may notice that others not, so unless you receive overheating warnings or have other serious stuffs on ur device ,do not exchange it for a new one because certainly it ll be quite the same as the previous one. Oh it 's quite clear as well that folks claiming their device doesn't exceed 60 degrees under heavy usage either are liers or super lucky ones with uber super powerful units...think its more probably the first option.
regards ^^

Galaxy S5 overheating too much?

Just browsing. Attached screenshots to the thread. Battery at peak at 40 celsius and CPU at 82 celsius. I feel it is becoming hot on both rear and screen too. What should I do? It is not used to be like this. Use to happening after performing the firmware update. Did factory data reset. Ambient temperature about at 25 celsius. Help please.
