[Q] Nexus 5 operating temp 85-95F, up to 105F with camera use. Is this normal?

Nexus 5 operating temp 80-95*F, up to 100-105*F with camera use. Is this normal? I do live in asia, where it's hot right now, 91*F.
*if there is already a tread regarding this issue, pls feel free to correct me and lead me to the right place. tnx.

Hi,
Absolutely nothing wrong, plus with this room temperature... (about 35°C- 40°C), it's nothing. I guess you mean about the battery temperature...
Search in this Q&A section for "heat" or "overheat" you will have some thread about CPU temperature and battery temperature. In any case there is a thermal protection: thermal throttling then...

Define "overheating", as in the actual battery temperature. Not "it feels hot".

That doesn't tell us anything. Get an actual battery temperature reading, not what you think it feels like. Most kernel apps should tell you.

I don't pay attention to it myself since I know it isn't overheating. Various kernel apps should give you a reading, hell even Antutu Benchmark tells you your battery temperature in Device Info.
Also, when your battery reaches 60C (or 65C, forgot which of the two), your phone will force shut itself off. Chances are, you're not even feeling much heat from the battery, the CPU usually produces more heat before the battery can even reach that high (some kernels have battery shutdown disabled anyways). The CPU starts throttling at around 60C CPU temp (NOT battery temp), and force shuts down at 105C. Clearly, "warm" is no issue at all.

thank you for the explanation sir .

what temperature does your note pro get to in power saving mode?

my note pro 12.2 temperature gets quite high 40C when using it even if the conditions are relatively cold outside is this normal?
my samsung s3 would heat up too that's why i never closed the cover properly to let the hot air escape.. this made a big difference as it wouldn't go up past 32C even in warmish indoor environments (also i used power saving and lowest brightness). i apply the same principles to the tablet, power saving, lowest brightness or auto brightness yet the top part by the camera at the back i can feel heating up and is quite warm.. is this normal? do you other guys have high temps?
i read a review saying it doesn't really go above 35.6C which is BS as mine goes to 40C. i know because the cover is not open the hot air cant escape so the CPU is running up or the battery is heating up or maybe both. i use OS monitor to monitor my battery temp and voltage.
do i have a defective unit possibly? this might also explain why it reboots randomly however i know for certain when it rebooted the temperature was low as i was using it in like 4C conditions so the temp was under 30C max however now the temperature outside has risen i think that's playing a part. im getting sick of all these samsung issues. their quality control needs to be better or at least create so air vents so the battery can breathe. temperature kills lithium ion and i dont think you can change this battery easily

What you're reading is battery temp, not cpu temp. 45c and below is perfectly fine. As for cpu temp, gaming can bump that up to 80-85c. Thermal shutdown occurs at 105c (SM-P900)

LG Nexus 5 - Overheating, Battery drain.

Starting a month and half ago my LG Nexus 5 would get hot near the camera (Where the CPU is) and drain the battery unusually fast, even without an active app opened, now I can not keep it on outside because of the drain and even if it stays connected to a charger, it slowly builds a charge because of the drain.
I recently changed the battery and the problem continues to persist.
This started happening around when I went over all the settings in the phone and apps, I fear I might of turned on something that is causing it in the background but I can not figure out the exact problem.
Please help.

Check the frequencies of the cpu, sometimes the minimum value gets stuck to a higher than needed frequency.
You can do so by using Kernel Auditor (root) or CPU-Z. Obviously if they're higher you'll need to set them lower, 300 MHz is the normal minimum freq. If that is not the case then install Gsam Battery Monitor and enable extra stats, you should be able to figure something out with that one app.

Samsung Galaxy S5 inaccurate cpu temperature

I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F, running the official Android 6 marshmallow update.
Sometimes when I try to take a picture with flash, it tells my that my cpu is too hot and it needs to cool down, before I could use the flash again. I downloaded an app to look at the temperatures, and after not using the phone for a while I made sure it was cold and the battery showed about 29c, but the cpu temp was about 50c. I don’t think this is the actual temperature, because every spot of the phone was absolutely cold. When I ran some slight tasks the cpu temp was rising to about 86c. The phone was indeed hot tot he touch and the battery temp was rising too, about 40c, but I still think the temperatures it is showing for the cpu are not right. That’s why I get some errors like that. The battery temp seems a bit high too.
Now my question is, is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to maybe calibrate the cpu temperature sensor? I tried everything, all the way up to resetting my phone to factory settings, but with no luck.
I also noticed that the download speeds are very slow, especially when I try to update or download an app from the play store, compared to other devices on the same network. I ran a speedtest and the results are normal, the same as other devices, but the real world download speed isn’t.
I hope someone could help me with this problems. The slow downloading speed isn’t really bothering me that much, but the inaccurate cpu temperature is. Sometimes it gets really hot, sometimes even with slight tasks yes, maybe that isn’t normal too.
