[Q] Is it normal for Nexus S to get hot in Hot Temperatures??

The temperature in my city is around 40°C.. But real-feel is around 42°C...Summer has just started and my phone is getting hotter than usual... However, the phone is not so hot in idle mode... Its around 31-33°C.. However, after playing few games or browsing for around 20-25 mins, my nexus s is getting hotter and hotter.. I can feel it in my hands... But still, the battery temp is showing 36-37°C only... I've never even seen 38°C on my phone... But still, I can feel the touchscreen is getting very very hot...
After opening the back cover, I began examining myself.. I noted:
The battery is not that hot
The sim area is very hot (I even started my phone without the SIM card, but same result)
The area beneath the camera and flash is also too hot..
The touchscreen itself is getting v.v hottttt.... I cannot play touch games anymore... However, the lower part of the touchscreen is absolutely normal...
When charging, the temperature doesn't goes more than 35°C... However, I can feel the back side is warmer...
2months ago, when the temp was around 30-32°C, I've never had this problem Everything was fine and running perfectly... Still now, everything runs smoothly without lags
I've never heard that touchscreen is hott... I've had many phones and my city's temp remains mild mostly... So, what could be the problem?
I am using:
Carbon unofficial
Marmite 8.5cm_bigmen
No over/under clocking
Vooodoo sound with +5db (Hardware highest)
Ondemand with cfq
Battery timings: 1.5day with normal use (4-5hrs of screen time)
1day with heavy use (6-7hrs of screen time)
Should I revert back to stock ROM?
Is there any IC problem?
Battery problem?
Processor problem?
Or is it normal for the phone to get hot in hot temperatures (42°C)???
Should I see a doctor?

Its normal dude. If you want to keep it cooler than don't keep the brightness too high.
One thing that can REALLY heat up my phone is playing games at 100% brightness on a hot day so try to avoid that.

No dude the same areas as you describe are the ones that can get really hot on my phone.

My i9023 gets really hot if i play games at max brightness, so now I avoid playing games.
And yes, it also gets hot in the processor area, not the battery.

Now, my phone is getting very hot while playing Asphalt 6 or even Fruit Ninja... Only the processor side (Top portion of touchscreen and its back portion) is getting hot... Battery is definitely cool (Not more than 38degree)...
What could be the problem? My processor has gone mad or what? I've even tried undervolting as well as processing speed to 800Mhz max... But overheating remains

My phone gets hot only when I'm on full brightness and a game I usually put it at half brightness and it never happens even when playing mc4

This is absolutely true. I have Nexus S since 4 months... There was no problem at all then.. everything normal and running fine and never overheated at all no matter what i play...
This overheating problem started few days back when I tested overclocking and overvolting NS
Seem's this is the problem..
I think I have roasted the processor and it will always remain like that.. I will have to sell it soon now

is it still over heating on half brightness?

It is... I am on 3% brightness...
Should I give a try to a new OEM battery?
Will it resolve the overheat issue?
Why is the processor heating up too quickly? Has I finished its life by overcloking it? Or it is a battery issue?

I went to the local market for some inspection of my phone. The person said that your phone is not giving maximum current and the charging ic is getting very hot and has to be changed... How is this possible? I've never had any problem with my phone like this... 100% charging was always OK for me

Nexus 5 heating up!

Hello guys!
I recently switched to this phone..
So my question is that whether it is my nexus 5 which heats up even after using it a little bit or anyone else is also having the same problem??????
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

To be honests, for me, the only way to get it noticebly hot is play Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8 or other heavy games.
Oh and using it for browsing, calls, facebook etc wile on charge heats it up too.

According my opinion its ( feels ) much cooler than N4, i had before.
U have any case/bumper ?
Can u also mention heat in degrees?

The Nexus 5 definitely runs much cooler overall than the Nexus 4. These devices with their processors are made to heat up in an intense situation such as gaming. The device has an individual heat sync to soak that up and release it once the processing you've initiated has been lowered. Heating up is normal. The device will know when it's too hot to function, but that would take a lot to happen.
Slight warmth is nothing to be concerned about when browsing, or on a call. You should be concerned if there is no heat and you're playing a game for a few minutes or more.
Odds are high, your battery will die before the heat to the processor damages the phone. If you're finding it's difficult to hold the device because it's hot on your hands, I'd suggest setting it on a flat surface or get yourself a snug case. Mind you, a case will concentrate the heat and could potentially make it worse.

See this is called heat, my screen and fingers were literally burning

There is some sought of problem with my device, thermal throttling doesn't turn on when using stock kernel
Its dead trigger 2

88C???
I think its too high indeed, although i dont play games.
Again, do u use any kind of "close type" case?
Sock kernel yes, but any kind of custom ROM with any modified system files ( build.prop etc ) ?

[Q] Overheating :'(

my nexus 5 seems to get very hot near the camera module while doing nothing so intensive. like i was creating a titanium backup of like 120 apps and after it was done the camera module on the back was hot like a spoon dipped in soup for few seconds .while playing games like modern combat 4 i can play for 15 minutes max.it gets too hot. plz confirm its normal or i replace the unit.
btw running elemtalx .34 with liquidsmooth..same results seen on like almost every rom.i keep the stock throttling in elementalx.

It is normal... The cpu is the best (or near the best) on the market and well optimized but the overheating is a common problem on every phone...
Try to gaming in the freezer!

normal

Hi,
The last threads about pseudo "overheating" (read the explanations): http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/cpu-temp-70-c-t2695518 or maybe this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-overheating-help-please-t2684975, plus all the others...
At least provide your CPU temp to see...

That area has the SoC (CPU + GPU) with the RAM stacked directly on top of it. It will always get warm there and spread out.
If you hold the phone near the bottom and it will rarely feel warm.

Normal Gaming Temperatures?

Hello all. Today I come here with the question in mind, is 60°c-70°c temps normal for gaming on this device? It doesn't move up to that immediately and the device doesn't feel that hot but according to CPU-Z that's what this device has been reaching. You can really feel it while playing Heros and Castles 2. I'm guessing it is but just looking to confirm, as I'm wanting to get the most (Life-Span Wise) out of my device. Am running stock android marshmallow 6.0.1 with no tweaks or modifications.

that seems hot to me mate ive been playing modern combat 5 for a while and mine got to just over 50°c

Thanks for the reply, may try another app to measure temps and see if I come out with the same results. Will edit this post if I get the same readings.

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the OnePlus 5 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Much better than the s6, s7, s8 heat machine on which you can fry eggs .
Heck, even when installing apps, update firmware or while charging the phone, it doesn't get insupportable to touch like other flagships.

Definitely the coolest phone I ever owned!! Especially comparing to my old phone Xiaomi Mi Note Pro with the Snapdragon 810 that was known to run hot lol

For me has been the reverse of some people here. My One plus 5 is heating a little bit more than my S8 Plus and my Xiaomi Mi Mix. But it's not heating up to the point that it's uncomfortable I said it's in the normal range.

I came from a vintage phone from LG G Pro with a snapdragon 600, and i can say this is alot hotter comparing to the op5. When i play clash of clans for a few mins, it heats up to 77 degrees celsius which can be a bother to battery and other components.
Here at op5 i can play the same game and cpu is just 30 degrees celsius! Measured with cooltool.

Compared to my Nexus 6p, this phone is cool as ice, my Nexus would sometimes get so hot that you couldn't touch it.

To be fair, my last phone was the LG G4. About an hour after plugging that in to my Chevy Volt's infotainment center (with Android Auto), I could pretty much cook an egg on that phone. Even with the back off, the LG G4 would overheat and report that it's recharging was temporarily halted. There's nothing like that going on, with the OnePlus 5.

My 8/128gb is overheating, especially the zone right in between the camera and the 1+ logo.
The CPU temperature is constantly around 40°c in light use over wi-fi. Is it normal? What is the right range of temperatures? Anybody experiencing this overheating in the rear zone?

40 is nowhere near overheating so nothing to worry about.

Ok but the back becomes so hot that is difficult to hold it.

i have played asphalt xtreme, injustice 2, marvel future fight, close to about 30-40 mins, and frequently switching between games, and no sign of any overheating at all.
I used to own a zenfone 2, and it got real hot, not even warm.
Fantastic device for gaming, OP5!!

This is the coldest phone i ever had.

2 weeks and I have not had any heat issues my previous 6P use to get very very warm.
