How hot is hot?

Seeing as how we don't haves cpu temp monitor, can someone enlighten me on what is considered to hot? At what point should I get worried?

So today..... I woke up and my Xoom was under a pillow. It was AMAZINGLY hot, checking the battery temp was over 150F and the screen wouldn't power on (overclocked to 1.6). EDIT: Check the battery temp after it powered on.....
I did a power + Vol up to restart and it turns out the battery had no charge, charged it up and its working fine now. Still cant believe it got that hot though..... Only time will tell how it works in the future but I may have just done a really sound heat test?!
Hopefully not too sad of a day in the life of my Xoom!

My CPUMaster widget displays cpu temp. You can set a temperature profile which can reduce clock speed if the temp reaches a pre-determined level.

Plus 1 to this awesome app.. Use it on my phone and tab..
Isnt there a recommended temp somewhere like spec sheet or is that only ambient.. Come to think i guess it is

I have done alot of reading on this subject and could fill a whole page on explaining it, here is the short version. I am a power user and oc to 1.6, have my xoom in a enclosed case (no ventilation) and I have to work very hard to get my temp to 98. F. If you are seeing temps 98+ temps without heavy, heavy use then there may be a problem somewhere.

Hot cpu

I noticed when browsing the web that the phone quickly gets quite warm so I installed StabilityTest and TempMonitor from Play store and ran a Classic Stability Test, within 2 minutes the temp went to 55°c and after 10 min is was 59°c, anyone else having these high temps? Running on battery...

Sorry that was battery. After 15 mins, CPU was up to 55c, didn't go any higher.

I have the same issue with my HTC one S, while i'm using browser (internet, google chrome) or download something with network mode "Gsm/WCDMA auto" my phone constantly changes between HSPA and 3G connection and heating up to 45,5 C. At this time, the battery consumes 1% of every minute. This is a problem of firmware of radio module or something else?
Thank you.

is anybody else concerned with how hot it gets? It takes just a few minutes of browsing and playing around with apps to bring the temp from 26-28C idle to 35-40C when the entire backside gets really uncomfortably warm. did somebody have a chance to play with different units to compare if they all do this?

Yeah it gets pretty hot, but I don't think it's too much to be concerned about. I think it's just an effect of making the phone so thin and making the body out of metal that means it heats up pretty quickly. As long as it's not going over 60 degrees I wouldn't worry! And if it does, you probably won't be able to hold your phone anyway

Very heat

Hi, everyone
My s6 is warming much, since I sent for assistance and and they said they do not have any problem on the device, it could be some inconsistent application, but all I install are compatible according to the play store . So I come to ask the question . It is normal the unit heat up like that? Taking into account the temperature of where I live is quite high.
Sorry for my bad english.

Hi,
Can you be more specific than just "warming too much"? Install CPU-Z app and check the temperature of battery and processor, also share the local temperature, it will make it easier for us to identify if it's a problem or not.
All the best,

Hi,
This is a normal temperature, the CPU gets crazy high temperatures (when gaming it can get up to 80 degrees Celsius), so don't worry about it .
Unless it is really overheating or giving problems (frequent slowdowns and shutdowns), you don't have anything to worry.
All the best,

OK. Strange reach these temperatures.

CPU Temperature

I’m looking for the CPU temp in Galaxy S7.
Anybody know what are the values in green and red box in the pic attached signify?
This pic is from AIDA64/CPUZ

The red must be CPU cores, or at least related to that. Have no idea about the green one.

Wherever I see in the forums people only talk about the value in green box and they think that device is relatively cooler even under heavy load. But gotta say man the device heats up worse than my G4 even in minor load when referring to the values in the red box as you said. I wanna know is there something up with my device alone. What does you CPU Temp. reading after about 15 mins of heavy game session like with 'NFS No Limits' in your device in AIDA64? PLease post a screenshot

I don't play games on the phone. I tried a few just to make sure the phone is OK when gaming but in 5 minutes I got bored.
My phone gets hot, 75 Celsius when updating several apps, or right after an OTA.
I think this is normal, as I changed the first phone ( display issue ) and both reached the same temperatures in similar situations.
Edit
Also have a g4, that one gets hot more often than the s7.

Oh! Thanks for the reply. This is the first time using glass/metal phone, maybe that's why I'm very sensitive to this problem. Is that a S7(flat)? Never had seen anything above 60C.

Yes, simple s7, not edge.
One time got very hot in my pocket, for no apparent reason.
But in battery stats I noticed that Google services percentages increased from 6 to 16, in about 20 minutes. This happens also on g4, about once or twice a week. It lasts from 10 minutes to a half hour, or I restart the phone and no more issues for a while.
It's hard to catch the s7 above 70 Celsius, I guess the cooling system does it's job really fast. We need an app to monitor and record temperature changes in the background. The only one I know about is CPU temp, but is not showing real CPU temperatures, it's fake.

Got the same situation (temp around 65-70 degrees) especially when updating apps by play store. Its getting hot on the back near the camera. But when updating is done temperatures are very fast dropping to 30-40 degrees. I think it's normal for this kind of device, made from glass and metal. Would be greatful for more observations from you guys. Cheers.

Yeah, Most app in the place store aren't able to read the actual temperature from the S7. Maximum I've seen with those are 38C in ~20 min session of gaming. As I said haven't seen S7 anywhere near 70C but near 61C in AIDA64 but after ~20 min session of gaming. It does take about 5 mins to completely cool down. Don't know it's normal. Is it!?

As you can see from all the below linked videos, the temperature never crosses 40C in any testing under heavy load. But how can we get 60C, 70C and all. They are even saying device isn't much hot. How is that even posssible?

I have no idea what and how they tested, the fact is that mine got very hot a few times. I only check temps when I feel the phone hot, and that was only when updating some apps, right after the OTA restart.
The temps from a gun are going to be lower than the core sensor reading. Always.
Is this gun any good for external testing ? I almost bought it

Bought it online? Check the reviews.

Didn't bought it, I've seen it in some store and took a photo
It's about 20 euro's.

Seems like a local item. May not give you accurate readings but it's up to you. If you want a good one try Amazon.

Here are something based on my recent tests and findings,
The problem is when the device is under heavy load(NFS No Limits game). therm_zoneX values goes upto 61C, which I don't care if the device is still not much hot to hold in hand but it isn't. Compared to my LG G4 it gets hot soon for the same amount of load based on my tests. And makes me unpleasant of the fact that the I can't enjoy the amazing performance of gaming in this phone not even longer when compared to the HTC & LG phones I had. Even simple tasks like switching between Whatsapp and Tapatalk in the background for almost 5 min made the device unusually warm while there isn't anything else heavy running in the background. All these is considering the fact that my room temperature isn't very hot. What is your opinion?
I think the below attached images(4) will help you understand it better on the temp. variations on various tasks and where do I feel it warm/hot. I strongly believe it's unusual based on my experience in previous 5 years with various devices. Do you observe something similar. Please have a look.
PS: The NFS No Limits temp. readings were similar to someone who posted in the different thread.

Is 34°C on average/light use good?
36-37°C when updating apps and using the phone at the same time

Overheating

My opo overheats without any heavy usage, I don't play any games.
I was on CM13, Darkobas rom and now Candysix rom but it still overheats what can I do?

Hi,
Have you tried a clean fastboot flash ?
Or can you upload some screenshots from an app like "CPU temperature" to see how is your overheating ?

Why you say that is over heating? Post some as about CPU and battery temp

This after ~15 mins of easy usage (battery temp. on status bar)

i don't this that these tempreture (48) is high...

So does anything happen when it starts to over heat?
Over heating to me would be 60s+ that's normally when the back of the phone is feeling very warm.
After I install a new rom, start up is rebuilding the cache and I've got it charging that's the only time I notice a hot back. Or if the GPS and 3g might be doing something strange.
If your phone is slowing down then look into it. If it seems fine but you just think the numbers are high then I wouldn't worry to much.
Where do you live? Is there a lot of direct hot sunlight?
Do you have loads of apps installed that might be misbehaving?
Or pick a rom that is slightly underclocked. Running it at max speed does make it warmer. Sultans kernel normally runs nice and cool. Think darkobas also uses it.

That temperature is completely normal during use. If it was 80c then you can claim overheating, which it clearly isn't.
