Phone overheating

Hey guys. I have my processor overclocked to 1.8ghz and on charge. I was playing ashaplt 7 heat when my phone suddenly rebooted. Picked it up form my desk and it was extremely hot. When it finished booting, a screen came up and said several apps had stopped.So I unplugged the phone from the charger and rebooted again. This time it booted up fine. Went into kernel tuner and the cpu was 136 degrees and cooling down. Viper xl with beastmode has always been pretty stable on my phone so I'm pretty sure it overheated. Just wondering if anyone else has a problem with their phone overheating.

There's your problem..
Charing gives off heat
Intense Usage/Graphics gives off heat
Overclocking gives off heat
all of that is too much
136 degrees is also too much.. My computer never runs that hot
anything below 110 Fahrenheit should be stable/safe

Thats what I wasn't sure of: whats too hot for the S4. Just browsing the web it stays at about 85-100 degrees on my phone. My computer on the other hand runs at a considerably higher temp. 110 to 125 I would say with turbo boost turned off. When playing NFS Shift2 Ive seen it reach 195 degrees! So as you can see these two processors can take too drasticly different temps and I wasn't sure what to expect out of the s4. I guess you're right. Anything under 110 is safe for the s4.

This is confusing me. I prefer Celsius when talking about hardware..
but when Outside temperature, talking in Celsius confuses the hell out of me.. so I use Fahrenheit for that situtation

What the? Your confusing me grim hahaha!! I never could translate Celsius into Fahrenheit.....

Yeah I wrote that in a hurry. Had to get in the bed. In a nut shell I was saying that some processors run hotter than others and I wasn't sure what was too hot for the s4.

[Q] cpu temp

I got my tablet in a case and it gets a little warm but im wondering what temp is dangerous for the cpu to reach, the highest it has ever got was about 38°

36 is about normal for good use on balanced mode. Mine will go to about 55 in performance on an OC kernel which feels very warm! Hottest I ever haad was 62 and that felt uncomfortably hot. 38 will be fine.

The tegra 3 thermal limit is 85c i believe, so you're fine.

wow thats hot lol i guess there is no worries here then lol

38° is fine. Nothing to worry about. I've seen tests where it got quite higher after just 10mins of gaming, but it was still within the threshold. It got a little uncomfortable, though.

[Q] Nexus 5 gets hot

Hey guys, Im new to XDA but i have a quick question for all nexus 5 owners. Okay i was just wondering if anyone else's Nexus 5 gets hot. I remember my nexus 4 would get so hot i couldn't touch it. I haven't had that kind of heat from my nexus 5, but it is there and i do notice it. It gets hot near the camera on the back, and it gets hot on the front at the top of the screen. I have a CPU temp monitor running on my device to check if my device is running to warm. I found it averages/hovers around 50 degrees celsius. When i open chrome and do some light browsing it goes up to 60 degrees. So my question is.. Is anyone else noticing their phone gets hot? And does anyone have a cpu temp monitor running and could you let me know how hot your phone is running at?
Thanks

Mine gets hot after a fair amount of time of gaming. Nothing terribly uncomfortable, but noticeable nonetheless.

Yeah mine is warm after just 5 minutes of normal usage non-gaming situations. Not hot but warm. Its starts to get hot to the touch after 15 minutes of heavy usage (ie. Browsing, gaming, etc) . I don't know if this is worth calling Google about and having them replace it, or is everyone's phone like this and I just need to get used to it?

I gotta stop reading on this forum the more more I read about this phone its make me not want it does all the things my Galaxy Nexus does. too not while browsing the internet. Low speaker volume. No flash. Questionable battery life. Might go iPhone...smh

Chrome is the problem. Its resource heavy for no ****ing reason.
I've been using chrome and my phone doesn't work hard at all with the same amount of browsing and tabs I always have open.
So its not the phone. You can expect it to get warm when doing CPU intensive stuff. Gaming would be it. But not hot.

Ew no

guess what. youre using a 2,3ghz quad core device, ots gonna get hot when you use it. and itll cool down quick when you arent using it. thats how its supposed to be, thats how it works.

Okay i think it might be chrome as well. When playing temple run, my device only got to 58 celsius. But when browsing on chrome my device went up to 68 celsius. So now I'm thinking its just chrome?

As the other person stated - Chrome is a resource hog and definitely is part of it. Fully utilizing Google Now with the voice search activated (*okay Google*) can definitely do it. Try Chrome Beta, it's much better.

Does it get too hot to the point it won't charge? That what pisses me off most about my g-nex

i think its normal for the 'warm' touch at the back, it doesn't get quite as hot as the nexus4 becuase of the glass backing
i use tempMonitor app, i get around 47c cpu temp when its warm
im running r12 franco kernel UVing to 920mV at 1.95max ghz

Im using TempMonitor as well. When under normal circumstances (i.e. texting, calling, etc) my phone is running at 45 celsius. But it gets hot as soon as i go online or play a game for like 3-5 minutes. Im sure it must be chrome then. I understand the gaming part and how the processor works, but i didn't realize chrome was that bad. Ill try chrome beta. Anyone else know what temperature there cpu'c are running at?

my cpu is anywhere between 0C and 89C, depending what im doing with the phone. its normal to get hot, especially when doing something taxing. itll get hot, but itll cool down fast when the work is done. thats how its supposed to work. anyone complaining that device cpu temp is hot at 65C just doesnt know any better.

Lol well thats why I was asking and looking through the forums on XDA because I've never experienced a hot phone before. Im coming from the moto x which never got above 40C. That phone wasn't a snapdragon 800 though. I just wanted opinions of if it was just my phone or if everyones phone was like this. And if not should i send it in for replacement.

I know that this is BS because my note 3 which has the exact same processor never goes above 38-39 degrees Celsius even if I'm gaming for over an hour. If you think 89C is normal you're crazy.

So some people say its normal and some don't? Sigh. I hope everyone is talking about CPU temp, not battery temp.

what i see in this statement is pure ignorance. human body temperature is 37C, youre telling me that your cpu NEVER goes more than 1-2C over human body temp, even while gaming? do you live in the antarctic?
your only saving grace will be if you meant battery temperature, not cpu temperature. 39-40C would be normal then.

It's very easy to get wrong temperature readings from sensors btw. Trying to find a good app that reads them properly is not.
Parts of the phone warm up quickly but luckily the bottom bezel area does not.

Nexus 5 Getting Hot

Hey guys
I was just playing gta san andreas (best game) and the phone was getting really warm to the touch. The back part of the phone where my fingers are resting getting seriously warm (nearly hot) and i was getting worried so i closed the game. I checked the temp of the battery and it was 43 degrees celcius. (109.4 fahrenheit). Is this ok?
note: the phone is naked (no case + screen protector).

you do realize that the average human body temp is 37C, a little under your cpu temp? its quite normal for the phone to get even warmer than yours when playing games, especially gpu intensive games. the phones safety shutdown temp is 100C, so youve got some ways to go.

cool.
its a quad core phone, so when all four cores are active, and the gpu is being pushed, heat is expected. if your not rooted with thermal throttle off, then at 70C(if i remember right) the phone will automatically throttle because of the temp. itll reduce cpu speed to cool off the phone. if you do have root, disabling thermel throttle is always an option. then it wont reduce cpu speed. but if tou do hit the safety shutdown temp of 100C, the phone will shut diwn automatically. this is very rare. really, you need to try to get to 100C to reach it, otherwise its very rare.

Is 46 degrees dangerous? My phone goes to around 43-46 degrees while playing asphalt 8.

It isn't dangerous, no.
It isn't ideal as lithium batteries hate the warm. Think of lithium batteries being perishable foods, they prefer the cold, in fact for long term storage they are kept in refrigerators.
If the phone was at these temperatures 24/7 then the battery would quickly deteriorate and run-times would take a dive, but for a few hours a day it is unlikely to make much difference considering most people replace these phones after a couple of years anyway.

How to disable throttling on Nexus 5? Seems this phone throttles more than other due to LG settings.

hey is there any way to turn off the thermal throttling without changing the kernel?....I m on stock kernel but the phone is rooted

OnePlus 7 Pro Normal Temperature values

Hi guys I'm wondering what's your normal temperature values.
I've received my OP7 pro today and I started right way installing apps, restoring 4 GB of WhatsApp data, and I've found that my device was some how kind of hot.
I've decided to install AnTuTu benchmark app, and when I've started the Stress test, I've noticed temperature peaks of 80°C.
Should I be worried? Have anyone of you guys tried?

I noticed mine also got kinda hot when was wrap charging...but 10 lays of liquid cooling is 10 layers

Well, mine on charging I didn't notice any thing odd.
It as only when pushing a bit for him. And I was mesmerized with the 80 °C in the stress test. I know is supposed for that test to burn the phone, but I never thought that would reach so higher values

I believe that my only fear is that the thermal system might be wrongly attached and I don't know.
Thus me trying to understand what is the normal temperature people are having

Normal temp is 90. When you wrap charge from like 5 percent to 60ish it goes up to 108 then cools down

Thank you for your reply!
Well, you are speaking about the Battery temperature while charging.
I'm worried about the other temperatures, like CPU. Like I said, if I try to run a stress test with Antutu, the temperatures on cpu have spikes to 90°C almost.
Even though I know that's normal to have spikes like these ones, I can't stop being a bit worried about the thermal resistance of the phone itself.
I totally understand that in normal use temperatures won't go so high than on a stress test, but it's for understanding how well is the phone prepared to sustain higher temperatures during large time intervals.
