RE: CPU Monitor
Hi
I have been using CPU Monitor, I'm light on widgets (around 6), I alwways make sure the background apps are closed. I have turned off my phone for 10 minutes, and turned it back on after 30 minutes. My phone feels kinda warm/hot. The CPU monitor shows that I'm on 33 C. Is this normal to be this warm? Thank you.

Low to mid 30s celsius is where my phone idles at. I usually can't feel any warmth until the phone gets into the 50s. Playing games gets it up the 60s and sometimes peaks into 70s. That when it gets uncomfortably hot to touch at the top by the camera.
A lot of apps that report on temp tend to report battery temp and not cpu temp. Battery temp tends to stay at 30-40s and that is fine.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Hello. I'm new with the account here, but been reading this forum for years.
I'm creating this thread because my new Nexus 5 (which I have for 20 days now) is overheating more than a normal mobile device should.
When i bought it, it had 4.4.4 Kit kat android, and I had that one for about 5 days, and in that time, I didn't notice any overheating, or maybe didn't pay attention, can't remember really.
But after installing official Lollipop 5.0.1, the device is heating pretty good even when browsing internet for 5 minutes, at about 30-40% brightness.
**** Please tell me if some of your devices are acting the same, and is it worth a try to install back an older android to try if it will stop overheating, or my device may be faulty and should I take it back for another one (or maybe switch to LG G2) ?
Because I'm still unable to post image links, i will write it down:
- Ambient temperature: 23 degrees Celsius
- The temperature sensor is taped on the back side, at the side of camera, this is where it overheats most. (even if not using camera)
- Phone temp after staying on standby with screen off: 28 C (it's not warm but it is warmer than desk which it is sitting on)
- After staying idle on home screen with screen on for 10 minutes (50% brightness): 30.5 C
- After chatting on Messenger for 10 minutes: 34.3 C (feels warm)
- After recording video for 4 minutes: 41 Celsius!!! (almost uncomfortably hot in the whole upper half of the phone, both the back side and the screen)
- After 15 minutes letting it cool down, with screen off of course, it is 38 C (still hot to touch), and it stays like that untill I reboot the phone, then it cools down.
The test took about 50 minutes, and after that, battery was drained for about 25%.
-While charging, the phone does not overheat, just gets a little warm which is OK. (haven't tried wireless charging)
P.S. I don't play games on the phone...
Please act quick in case I should return the phone...
the only time my phone gets hot is when im intensively doing a lot of things..
for example.. im playing ingress, have tether ON, and my two sons are using their tablets connected to my phone playing ingress too..
but if i turn off the game and turn off tether, it cools down..
to me it sounds u have something intesively using your CPU and perhaps GPS and other radios.
hold power button.. when PWR OFF shows, long press it and reboot into SAFE MODE...
use the phone for a bit and see if it gets warm... this should tell you if its apps installed.
I only used wifi, no tethering, no GPS, 3G, NFC or any other radios, cell signal is good so phone is not searching for it.
- In safe mode, it still gets warm when using camera. When browsing internet and watching images in google search, also but just mild warm..
- But after sitting and thinking, I've found a problem! After recording with camera and leaving it to cool down, it didn't cool down because it had to make an effort to upload that 5 min video on Google drive via Auto backup!
After turning the Auto-backup off, it is now much cooler!
I will post tomorrow with the results, if something changes...
Anyway, thank you!
First of all, "warm" doesn't mean anything.
Battery temperature does not mean much either, as the CPU is what generates the most heat.
There is a battery temperature throttle that reduces the CPU frequency, but it is almost entirely pointless as the CPU will always reach it's own throttle temperatures MUCH, MUCH earlier than the battery will. The CPU starts throttling at 65C CPU temp (NOT battery temp), and shuts itself down at about 105C CPU temp. Unless your battery somehow reaches a batterytemp of 70C+ (nearly impossible because the CPU will always hit it's throttle first), then I would never even take it into any sort of consideration unless you have a physical battery defect.
Using the camera generates heat since it's CPU and power intensive.
Using the phone in general will generate heat.
Keep in mind that mobile devices are passively cooled, not actively cooled with a fan/liquid.
Not sure what you're so worried about.
Lower your brightness
Lethargy, thank you for a short physics lesson. I'm already into physics and cooling systems so all is clear. I was just worried a bit because all of my previous phones weren't getting this warm (hot), but also never had a multi-core processor in phone eather, maybe that's the reason why I never experienced this before.
Battery temp (measured with app) gets up to 40-42 degrees Celsius, while the phone case gets up to 41 when recording video. Of course that temp won't damage the device, I'm not worried about the processor, but that temp is degrading battery life, in long term.
And about the brightness, phone is not meant to be used at lowest brightness all the time, so that shouldn't be an excuse for high temps. Just sayin'...

The only thing that sounded odd was how it wasn't cooling down until you rebooted, but it sounds like you figured that out with the automatic upload setting.
41-42c battery temp can be normal after prolonged usage, though personally I usually see that after a short gaming session. My brightness is around 40% and high brightness will cause extra heat.
Otherwise the phone is very thin so you can feel the stacked SoC and RAM heat up through the skin fairly easily, right around the camera area as you mentioned.
I think each device and CPU is slightly different and can vary by a few degrees under load as well.

Your temperatures are fine and you shouldn't worry about it. It's average for a Nexus 5, and there are throttles/shutdown temps anyways, for both the battery and CPU. I've had mine for a year and there hasn't been any sort of issue, normal usage should be negligible to the condition of the battery.
Ok, everything seems to be ok then. Now I can go to sleep without worrying Thanks guys!

My Z3 gets to 70 degrees C when playing an intensive game or using the 4k video option is this normal? Anyone have the same issue?
Even when just taking a few pics on a hot day the phone gets super hot and camera app shuts down due to overheating after 5 minutes of picture taking.
I use CurrentWidget apk that show battery temp. I don't know how accurate it is but in plaing 3d games, the highest temp was about 45 degree C. Ambiental temp about 20-22 degrees C (indoors).
Cheers!

Hi, that is battery temp. I am talking about actual CPU temp. Can you install A1 CPU tool from the playstore and see if you get the same as me.
Just shot 3 mins of 4k video and then went straight to the app and it told me 66 degrees C
pls see if what your temp is with the same
Now my phone is charging but later I will try what you said!
No flagship CPU can sustain maximum load for long before entering thermal throttling in a device with a phone form factor.
If you want sustained peak performance, you've got two options:
1) Buy a device with a more power efficient CPU (Snapdragon 4xx family) - peak performance will be far lower, but performance per watt will be vastly improved.
2) Buy a tablet - even the worst of these have better thermal management than any phones. Some devices are unambiguously superior - SHIELD Portable (not a tablet) actually had a fan on its heatsink and I believe THREE 18650 batteries, SHIELD Tablet has a phase-change thermal spreader I believe.

Hello, i had a at&t lg g (e970), and now i have a D850 that i bougt a few weeks ago, but since i bought ut i feel it a little warm, it isn't too hot but it still is a bit uncomfortable, and i want now if someone have a cpu temperature monitor, battery is cold, and can tell me how much is normal in this model, and which monitor you used.
I readed that it have temperature problem, but i only open for example a web page and it feel warm, if you can test it without any extra app running would great for me.
I used:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=temperature.mugich.com.thermo&hl=es
and only opened it i had at least 40 celsius, if i wait a minute it up 2 or 3 degrees.
i read some post, but i didn't see any value for normal temperature, i hope you can help me, thz
During normal usage my cpu temps are between 40 - 50c and it exceeds 50c when I play games. I think this is the standard for the G3.
Temperature
hello, thz for your answer mine start in 40-45 celsius, but if i open camera it go to 62, do you have same temperature with yours? or is only mine that have that temperature?. thz
My temperatures:
Normal use (facebook, instagram) ~45C
Camera ~48C
Opening a lot of apps sequentially ~55C
Randomly jumps up to 60C-65C for no reason when messing around with different apps and WiFi sync is open with LG PC Suite
Google Maps: ~62C
AnTuTu toped out at around 84C
I was wondering if my temperatures are high. Comparing to my friends Huawei P8 Lite the temperatures are about 60% higher. This is normal due to the 2x clockspeed of the 801ac vs the Kirin 620 of the Huawei.
Battery temp never exceeded 32C
Are other SD801 phones have such high temperatures? That's the question

Hi, i have my honor 6 for a few days now and i really like it, but it is heating up very fast. After recording a video for 4 minutes battery temperature goes up to 37°C and cpu temperature rises up to 60°C and it gets really hot. Even when only browsing it gets hot as ****, battery 36°C and one of the cpu sensors shows even 58°C only while normal browsing in chrome with two tabs, no other tabs open and it doesnt even have 20 degrees in my room. So how are your cpu and battery temperatures of your honor 6? And do your honors also heat up? And what are normal temperatures for this device for cpu and temperature? I have the european variant and updated to emotion ui 3.0 if this matters. And phone was in airlplane mode while testing this. Ive read that the heating goes away after a few charging cycles, can anyone confirm this? My old g2 never got comparably hot to the honor 6 even when playing games. So do you have similar temperatures on your honors and it is normal that the honor 6 heats up quite more than other phones?
