Hi,
Sorry to bother you, but could you tell me if your replacement Nexus 5 battery has a varied temperature?
I mean if the temperature goes up to 35 Celsius when it's charging or you're playing games, of if it goes down to 25 when it's idle.
Because my replacement battery always stays at 29 degrees Celsius, no matter how I use the phone.
I think mine might be bad, but I want to check with someone else before buying another one.
The temperature is the same in all the apps: GSam, CPU-Z, secret Android settings menu.
Completely stock system, OTA 5.0.1.
Thanks.
There isn't anyone that has changed their N5 battery in this forum?
I just want to know what is their battery temperature. Thanks.

All apps show the same value because they read battery stats from the same place. Have you tried restarting or clearing /cache? Because what you're saying physically impossible.

It is possible if the sensor is either broken (improbable) or a dummy ( 10k resistor )
Yes, this might be the case.
Like I said, I use now a replacement battery, and it might have a broken sensor or a dummy sensor..
This is why I asked about other people's replacement batteries, how are they reporting the temperature ?
Are there replacement batteries that report correctly the temperature ?

Don't worry about battery temperature unless it somehow goes over 60C, which is extremely unlikely as there is a battery temperature throttle in the kernel unless you specifically went and disabled it. The CPU will almost always throttle before the battery reaches such temperatures anyways.

I have the exact same behavior with my newly replaced battery.
Where did you bought it?
I did bought mine on ebay from this seller http://www.ebay.fr/itm/311164295976?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I hope this is not a fake thermal sensor... maybe it is because the battery is new and not fully "activated"?
Sounds like you guys bought non OEM replacement batteries that have left the sensor out to save money.
What is realy confusing me is that after 1 full cycle the battery shows very good results :
- SOT 5h10min!
- I did run at least 5 Antutu full tests
- chrome web surfing
- downloaded nearly 5Gb of data
- 1 hour gps maps
and still 28% left!
But the temp sensor doesnt work :crying:
I wonder how dangerous it could be since system has a wrong reading of the real battery temp.
If someone knows how android manage phone state when reading high batt temp...
Does it shut down it? or anything that protect it against explode

Relax, there's a hi temp shutdown which will shut down your device if it gets too hot. There's also an explosion door on the back of your device that'll relieve pressure if it gets too high, jk.

High temp shutdown based on what reading? As far as I know Nexus 5 has only 2 temp sensors avaible : CPU and battery.
If the battery sensor reading is wrong, I wonder how the phone can shut down since CPU temp can remain cool while battery is getting warmer and warmer.
Hello guys.
So i bought the s6 non edge 32 gig model 3 days back. The phone is awesome no doubt but i had heating issues from the very first day. First i thought it might be the battery drain. did factory reset and i was getting 4hrs+ SOT with 5.0.1.
Now i am on 5.1.1 and the battery seems to have improved giving 5hrs SOT. But the phone heating issue remains the same. The phone gets warm about 92F above after 5 minutes to 10minutes normal usage.
Using the phone for 30 min the temperature is near 100F . is it normal? Cpu spy shows normal activity.The phone only heats while using it is cool with screen off. The heat is felt on the left side of camera and spreads around after more usage. Due you think its because of the climate. i live in a place where summers are always above 93F . But even in AC phone gets pretty warm.
Do you think my battery timings and phone heating is normal. Please comment i am quite worried about it i spent a lot of money on it.

i think if you're worried about it you can bring it to Samsung Service Center to get it fixed.
i donot have samsung centre in my area. infact i have to ship it to dubai to get it fixed. can you tell me does your device gets warm after using it?

okay so i downloaded both apps... the cpu spy shows no sign of abnomal cpu usage... it is in deep sleep for most of the time. better battery stats show no app draining battery... i only use fb/messenger and gmail app. today i got 5 hrs SOT with 22hrs usage time. i think the battery us fine but why the phone warms up so much. My question is how oftenly do you feel that yous phone is getting warm?
Maybe brightness is too high causing the phone to heat. Cases also make phones overheat.

he could be using auto brightness, which also causes the phone to spike the brightness and heats up faster
Hey, I had a similar problem with my Galaxy S6 32gb and I would only get roughly 10 hours battery life out of it with 2 hours screen on time and as soon as I turned the screen on, it would be so hot on the right side, you couldn't actually hold it. I just ended up selling it and didn't think to contact Samsung or anything because it did it every time I turned the screen on so I just thought it might've been normal. I always had everything turned off with just wifi and auto screen brightness on and just 1 Google account synced too. :silly:

Figured out it was a hardware issue... there are two ways to check if you s6 heating issue is software or hardware related. install gsam battery monitor and see if kernel or android OS (apart from any third party app draining) is draining most battery than its a software issue.
otherwise its a hardware one. i got mine replaced and the new one works fine.
Hi all. I have recently updated my system to android pie. and after that whenever I charge my phone, its battery tempreture rises as high as 48 degree (ofcourse I stop charging at this time so dont know if it will rise further or not.)
I am not sure if any body is facing same issue.
Please help me if anybody know the reason and the solution to heating problem.
Edit :- There is no heating problem playing highend games like pubg, asphalt 8

Did you reset your phone after update. If not I would suggest you to do this first and check it.
Is it really necessary to reset the device? Cause it will take much time to backup and restore

To outrule any hardware issues it's necessary.
By using Huawei backup tool you can back up everything.
After major upgrades there are chances of such issues . In most of the cases soft reset solves the problem.
I formatted my device cleared cache partition but the problem is still there,
Device gets hot while charging after pie update. Now it gets hot even when you play pubg.
I dont know if anybody else has faced this issue but there are no discussion or solution for this thing over the web.
Edit :- The device gets hot on the upper part of it so I am sure its not battery its processor who is getting hot. possible reason could be the kernal. but I dont know how to resolve it as I am not rooted and neither want to root it.
cpu monitor shows cpu tempreture to 37 degree celcius and battery temperature to 42 degree celcius

Honor increased the charging speed even with the quick charger (9V/2A) that was included in the box in the India variant to reach charging speeds of the super charger (5V/4.5A). Previously on EMUI 8.0 I used to see around 2A as the charging current in the 'Ampere' app. Now with EMUI 9.0 I see it goes all the way to 3.2A. This is why the phone gets so hot.
You could switch to using a slower charger (5V/2A) to bring down the charging temperature a lot. Use the quick charger only if you're in a hurry.

I was feeling the same. but charging time has not been reducedat all. further to add .. initially my mobile not used to heat while playing pubg but now it has started heating while playing pubg.
The device is getting uncomfortably hot especially around the ear piece and the entire device get hot too. Anyone experience this.

Everything good on my end as well..
I was just going to post the same issue, because it happened to me today, after 2 weeks of using the phone. The unit became so uncomfortable to hold due to heat that I had to turn the phone off completely. At that time the phone was playing music file over Samsung music app, message on the screen popped up stating System UI not responding and when I opened the phone only home screen apps were displayed, all other app icons disappeared, all other pages were empty. Trying to open any app was impossible, touch screen was not responding. I am little bit worried. The battery was at 27% at 4 pm in the afternoon, I have removed the phone from charger in the morning at 7:30 am. Normal usage during the day, nothing abnormal.
I've noticed heat on the back of the phone but it isn't alarming. I've considered factory resetting it if it worsens but it hasn't really.
You guys may want to get a replacement unit if anything. No excuse considering the price and no variance of Socks.
What firmware are you guys running?
Heating is quite subjective, so it would be better if we give Battery and CPU temperatures here.
My average CPU temp is 31 degrees Celsius and Battery Temperature is about 28. The maximum CPU Temp has risen is 36 and battery max. has been 33.
I suppose, till 40 degrees Celsius there is nothing to worry. If temperature gets close/above to 45, then the situation gets alarming.
My phone though feels warm many times .

One thing i wanted to add is that as far as I know, average CPU and Battery Temperature should be considered, as both, especially CPU Temp. can fluctuate widely.

I have 5 of Fold 2"s with my friends and sixth is mine. All are experiencing slight overheating.
If you check the web, this issue seems to be quite common.
Try a master reset and maybe this goes away. I did not experience any overheating till day before yesterday, but i installed a lot of apps. yesterday, so it could be a rouge application.
I would do a master reset tonight.

I know a Samsung Technician and i just spoke to him on Fold 2 heating up. He says for Snapdragon 865 " CPU temperature of less than 60 degrees celsius when gaming. & when mobile is doing small processes or in an idle state, max around 45 celsius is not an issue. Also for 865+, this limit has been enhanced by approximately 5 to 10%.
I also read this, though pretty old -
https://www.xda-developers.com/processor-temperature-results-for-tens-of-socs-how-hot-is-your-chip/

When my Pixel 4 XL overheated, it was usually because I was charging and playing games on it at the same time. If it gets hot, then I would reboot it or leave it powered off for a minute. Could that be the case here?
Also, this is a new phone and you just installed a bunch of apps. My guess is that Android is likely evaluating and learning your habits so that it can optimize your battery and other stuff -- so there's alot of internal processing going on causing it to warm up.
Also, if you live in a city where the weather is warm or hot, then that'll make your phone warm or hot as well. So far, my 6a hasn't stayed warm very long except when I was transferring over/installing all my apps ... and it hasn't gotten hot yet.
The phone does get very warm, but it is also the middle of summer and we just set everything up. Tensor is also known for running on the toasty side. Unless your phone is warning you about excessive heat, it is within normal parameters.
it runs definitely warmer than a pixel 4 doing the same stuff.
I have sensor genius installed so it's logging temp 24/7. please do the same and let's share the graphs.
Mine is running substantially cooler using LTE rather than 5g, hopefully this is fixed through software updates.
I also put mine in LTE mode and it's much cooler. 5G is a bit overkill for mobile stuff at least for me, I just turn it on when using hotspot.
Ok, finally experienced the heating issue just doing normal browsing on LTE. Battery temp got up to around 43c on a cool day with no sunlight.
After some searching I found that turning off adaptive connectivity helps. After turning that off, temps are much better. I was in an area with poor signal so that likely was a part of it, but something else to try.

Another option to try is Disable Adaptive Battery, Disable 5G(If not necessary)..
I wouldn't worry too much. I absolutely assassinated my Pixel 3a XL. It was always hot. For couple of years. Huge amounts of onscreen time. Leaving it under blankets while charging on accident etc etc... Thing was fine. Also, a battery is only $12 and these pixels the easiest phones to open if you do somehow end up with severely reduced battery life couple years down the road
It's more the insane battery drain that goes along with the heat then the heat itself.
May be a CPU usage app that tracks what's taking up so much processor power.
My issue went away once I turned off adaptive connectivity.

Same. As in my country there is no 5G yet, I've changed to LTE preferred and phone is not hot anymore and battery doesn't drain.
It'd maybe gimp the overall performance some but u could try under-clocking your CPUs with FKM or EXKM while u track down the issue. (that is, if your bootloader is unlocked...in which case u could use BBS to track battery usage)
