Hello
I have the Nexus 5 and I have problem of overheating.
I used a lot of roms (SlimKat, Official 4.4.4 with ART & Dalvik, Android L, etc.) and a lot of kernels (franco, x elemental, etc)
None of kernels nor roms fixed the overheating problem
I used CPU-Z to see the temp of my phone. It was 44C. I used the phone only for internet (10mins).
Any help here???
Who told you 44 Degrees Celsius is overheating?

Then it is not 44 degrees
44C is still cold, your body temp is 37C. and if your phone overheats, it will shut down. the overheat temp is 105C. anything lower than that isnt overheating. and feel doest tell you what temp it actually has, all its doing is comparing temps to your hand.
If you're really concerned, you can experiment with undervolting your CPU/GPU and underclocking the CPU/GPU. I don't own a Nexus 5, but I'm sure there is no need to do any of the above.

undervolting will lower cpu temps a little, but its not a huge difference.
Correct, but with the way he worded his concern, it seems as if he would be willing to take any step possible to prevent the device from "burning" his hand

if he doesnt like how the heat feels on his hand, id stop playing cpu intensive games :angel:
as it can get darn hot when doing so. i keep my throttle disabled and watch a live cpu temp notification, ive gotten as hot as 86C playing ridge racer for nearly an hour
Haha true.

How hot is it getting? I'm pretty sure every smartphone experiences some kind of heat from gaming or streaming videos specially when you are charging it at the same time.

No and the phone does not get nearly as hot on wifi. Really odd. Also the phone was overcloaked before but I pushed it back to just 1ghz. My phone burning me for using the browder out is not cool though. Think there is an issue?

Well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the device since you said you put it back to 1 ghz. Really odd if you ask me. Maybe its a battery problem? Sometimes defective batteries cause overheating and can explode.

I'd recommend you flash and reinstall the ROM on your phone. Sounds to me like you've still go some of the old performance updates kicking in making the device hotter!
For me your temperatures are pretty normal. When I am not gamimg my max was 91F!!

Since you claim to have been able to move around the CPU frequency, I assume you are running setCPU. In setCPU you can look at Info tab where under the battery header it also displays the battery tempt. It's normal for the phone to heat while you are charging, on call for long or gaming for long duration but if you are seeing absurdly high reading for the battery tempt, then you better have it checked.
Hmm I had a overheating issue last night, woke up to my phone making a loud noise - I had set setCPU to make a noise when it goes over 40C and it did this today in the early hours of the morning whilst it was charging.
No processes were running other than the normal Live Wallpaper, Keyboard etc.. The phone was quite hot to the touch as well, so I just turned it off.
Weird thing is I have another profile in setCPU to have the max freq at 800Mhz and lowest 100Mhz when the screen is off so don't know how it got so hot?
Does anyone know the cpu shut down temp on the evita.I'm running sense 5 rom and was playing bubble witch and the phone jumped up to 163°. Thought about putting my coffee on it to warm my cup, but seriously I'm using no frills cpu to lower core min back to 384. And this thing still heats up like crazy

Wow I've never had it jump that high, highest I've been was about 144f. I had a look around but can't find your answer sorry.

I assume it will throttle at some point and then eventually shutdown when it hits maybe 75C (167F) or higher. Your battery might be going out, or were you doing something that demanded the CPU

So since yesterday every time I use my phone or even charge it my phone gets extremely hot! The screen especially and the back where the camera lies. I charged my phone for 6 hours there with no use and it has only went up a 4-5%. Ive not installed or downloaded anything recently that could cause this issue. I was wondering if anyone could help or have had such a problem and know what there is to do? I'm running the latest viper with elemental X 8.1 stock elemental settings been on both for at least a month or 2.

Ruu and do a clean flash. As a beta tester for Viper I've been running it since release and never had any issues. Other than we've reported which have been fixed.

Try changing kernel, letting phone sit off for some time, or if all else fails do a clean install. Something i do when any of my phones overheat but wouldnt recommend for everyone, is i zip it up in a zip-lock bag and put it in the frig for about 2-5 minutes. But like i said works just fine for me everytime but dont recommend it
I don't recommend putting hot electronics in the fridge or freezer due to condensation.

You can place it on a cloth wrapped ice pack for a few minutes, should cool it down very quickly.

how to check if both cores are working!?
mostly when i open TRICKSTER MOD it shows core 1 as offline and usually its core 0 that's fluctuating with min or max frequency!?

Actually Venom Tweaks includes an option for status bar or notification drawer that displays current CPU usage. Theoretically you could run some apps, pull down status bar and check if both cores are in use. Having one core activated running full throttle would easily turn your phone into a hand warmer

I knew that but when you provide someone with information that you do not recommend a user doing, you should explain why so they understand the risk associated. Especially in a case where their phone could be damaged beyond any chance of repair. Don't you agree?

Correct. But putting the phone under some form of stress such as running games or watching YouTube videos ramps up CPU frequencies as well as initiating the additional core.
According to comments in development thread, OP has solved over heating issue with an RUU.
Nice!

Good to know the issue is solved
cause even i had some issues with heating.. even for a small games my cpu tem is 50-60 and battery around 40!
It isn't unusual for this device to reach those temperatures during battery/CPU intensive apps or games. I've had it happen many times, games like Scramble With Friends (and other With Friends games) do it quite badly, as well as Maps, YouTube, and several others.

Hi just got my nexus 5 and been trying to run benchmarks on it... In antutu they say the CPU is poor and in 3d mark physics test is very low... I know about the thermal throttle but really how severe is it?!? Also how to enable quickboot in cm11?!? Also some custom kernel supports quickboot???

You're labeling your phone defective because of a benchmark score?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
If I'm analyzing the information you provided correctly, I'd say it's definitely defective. I recommend selling it on swappa and purchasing an iPhone.!.!???.!.!.!
No it is not defective.
If you go to the development sections and read the opening posts on the kernel threads....they usually list the features.
Research and reading are the XDA way!
Clearly read instructions before flashing anything of course.

And no, i don't know which, if any have such a feature. My N5 boots in about 20 seconds....that's quick enough for me.
I don't think your N5 is defective at all.
It is not the phone that is defective
Guys also my phone generated the 2nd bug report without me doing anything... Once before too it did it by itself... Also when I used my phone while it was charging... The screen went haywire but after a reboot it worked fine... I'm on stock rooted and xposed... Since Google now works on any screen now and also when screen is off and charging... Is it possible to make an app that will make gnow think the phone is charging even when its not and then we'll get touch less control too...

Yes, but no one has been able to access it....like for double tap to wake that a lot of kernels have now. So dt2w and "always listening" are running off normal cores and keeping the phone awake....and costing pretty big battery loss.
The N5 has a pedometer on that core, where the X has active display and I believe always listening. No one has gained access to the low voltage core on either device. Its probably not doable without major code changes.

I am a believe when I can do it too guy.
He'll be a hero if he can do it for everyone to benefit. Especially in the N5's case.
Can anyone suggest some good mods for me... I'd prefer non flashable since I always boot the twrp image and then do whatever is necessary and then relock the boot loader after resetting the flash counter... So I run stock recovery as I just wanna be sure that my phone in case of a service center visit I get to keep my warranty... Also is there some kind of flash tool??? As in complete wipe and reflash ... As in even when boot loader is deleted???

Hi guys, so I recently bought a nexus 5 I just got it like 5 days ago. My problem is that I have some lag problems. My phone lags when I play games like Dead trigger 2. I also have this game called Kritika, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's from Gamevil, and it lags pretty bad. So why is this? It's a Nexus 5, I shouldn't have problems with the Snapdragon 800 processor. I also seem to have a little stutter in fruit ninja. Is it just me or do I have a defective device. Or is there nothing wrong with it? Can someone please tell me whether I should send it back or not? Thank you.
Is it on stock? If no reflash stock then factory reset the device. Then load nothing else but the game. If it lags it hardware.

I would bet on thermal throttling like everyone else is saying. I noticed that although my Nexus 4 got absurdly hot with a raised thermal throttle, games ran better. That phone was a launch device and is used by my dad every day now without any lasting effects. I've done the same with my Nexus 5 with similar effect, although it doesn't seem to get as hot as my old phone. I would say that it's safe to do, and should get rid of the lag

Does your phone heat up while its lagging? If so, it would be because of thermal throttling like the other have mentioned (reducing CPU frequency so the phone can cool down)
You can flash a custom kernel and either remove thermal throttling or increase the amount of temperature of thermal throttling (so it will reduce CPU only at higher temperatures).

Yeah it does heat up while it's lagging, but the problem is that it doesn't take time to lag, it just starts lagging when I start the game up, not over time, so I was wondering if it was a hardware problem.
