Im not sure if this is normal but the cpu temperature after like 5 mins of use always goes up to 30 degrees is this normal? I'm not overclocking and not doign much but you can feel that the battery gets real warm...
Do you guys experience the same?
CPU temperature of what device?
30C is low or normal for most PCs, and though I am not sure about mobile devices in some parts of the world it is room temperature this time of year.
For a better (more specific) answer please write what device you are measuring the temperature for and what software you are using to do it.
P.S.
The feel of the battery has nothing to do with CPU temperature. They often get warm specially while charging.
On my prophet, if I charge it, OC it and use all the radios (Bluetooth,wifi) and do processor intensive stuff like watching a video, battery status tells me it's at about 40... I haven't noticed any damage, but I only do things like this very occasionally. I don't think it should be a problem although if the battery gets too hot it will degrade.
allright im using htc p4350 Herald and I'm measuring with battery status pro...
But it might just be fine if l3v5y says somethin about 40 degrees...
I would try and keep the temp down as it will last longer running cooler, but I don't think it will impact too heavily.

well...when we all talk about limitations and issues of android build the first thing we always say is "battery life", but what concerns me more is the overheating.
i know the 2 issues are related to each other, but i don't care about battery life as much as the device temperature, because it might damage the internal hardware right? plus nobody likes to hold a piece of burning plastic in their hand
Does yours always get hot? Mine got hot during the first run of Android(all that loading crap). I got a little worried to I let the phone cool while off. Been running it for hours now and it feels exactly as it does in Windows. And battery life is pretty awesome.
Mine got 44 degrees celcius yesterday.. not really good for our phones I think.
The reason I use setcpu is more to control overheating than improving battery life. You can set it to underclock whenever it gets to a certain temperature.
My Vibrant has always run warm, and I never paid much attention until I started running an over-clocked kernel. It got me to thinking:
1. I hear there is a temperature warning notification that pops up when it gets too hot. Anyone know what the threshold is for this?
2. At what temperature is damage likely (somewhere above the notification, I would assume)?
3. Are there any hardware based failsafes, such as something to prevent the battery from attempting to charge when its too hot?
I tend to run around 90 under light usage and up to 110 for heavy usage (doesn't seem too bad considering the temps can get up to 120 in the summer around here). Hotter when the battery is charging. Just caught it at 127 while browsing the web and charging, which is higher than I'm comfortable with, but I still didn't get a temperature warning notification.

Mine can get up to 120 when surfing and charging. I usually quit what I'm doing at that point, that much heat in that small an area makes me nervous.
I've had a couple of apps that get the phone quite warm, then lock up or force a soft boot. Unfortunately I'm not able to see the temp at that point. Judging by feel it is below the 120 degree mark tho.
I have been in ovens calibrating airflow speeds (130F at 75mph) and haven't had battery problems.
Hi.
While playing games my Xperia Play produces lots of heat. The back of the phone, and the gamepad feels really warm.
I checked the temperature with Battery Monitor Widget and when I don't use the phone it stays around 25-30 degrees Celsius, but when I play games (even 2D ones) it goes up to 38-40.
Is this a normal thing or there's something wrong with my battery ?

I can confirm this happens. Basically it is using more charge, therefore as a side effect of that it produces more heat from the chemical reaction. Same thing when you have it charging.
It isn't horrible, but try not to let it get too hot as it may shorten the lifespan of the battery.
So this is true for all xperia plays that after some time of gaming the phone will be really warm ?
The phone will get warmer, of course... but 40 degrees is not excessively hot. It feels warm in your hand, but it's not dangerous. A dangerous temperature would be close to 50.
The highest temperature that I had was 44 degrees after a long Nova 2 session.
I am a bit worried by the fact that while browsing the net through wifi the battery heats up to 38 degrees, but it's okay as long as it's less than 50 :> ?
Thanks for the help.
I'd say if it goes above 46 or 47 you just switch it off for a while. Not only because you don't want to overheat it, but because running the phone on higher temperatures reduces battery life (higher temperature means higher resistance to conductivity for metals).
Thanks for the into that it's perfectly normal for the phone to feel warm.
Have you ever reached 50(or that 46,47) degrees on Xperia Play or any other phone ? What app made your battery that hot ?

My former phone, the Galaxy S had HUGE issues with temperature while using 3G. Every time I toggled it on, the phone became awfully hot and the battery drain skyrocketed. I got it on 53 degrees once, since it was in my pocket. I was a bit scared, but the phone resisted it. Still, it wasn't pleasant.
The advantage of the Xperia Play being bulky and plasticky is that it's hard to bring it to extreme temperatures. If it's hard to make it hot, it has a positive impact on battery life as well.

Yea, this happens to me all the time. When using anything that drains my battery it heats it up as well.
All batteries release heat as current passes through them. When the phone is idle, the heat released is low enough your hand doesn't feel it. As the current increases while gaming, so does the heat.
It's nothing to worry about. The batteries are designed to handle heat without being damaged.
Especially since android devices are becoming more popular in places like india, where there's a lot of ambient heat.

I just got my Nexus 7 two days ago and I'm worried about the battery temperatures that I'm getting. When I haven't used it for several hours the temperature is usually 75-85 °F, but after general use (Facebook, Chrome) the temperature increases to over 90°F. Right now it's at 92.8°F after less than an hour of general use. Playing games makes it get even hotter, as you can see in the pictures I attached.
It's also mainly on the bottom left side that gets noticeably warm, I feel like it shouldn't be this warm already. I saw a few people had similar issues, are these temperatures out of the normal range or am I worrying for nothing?

battery temp isnt an idicator of your cpu temp. the n7 has a cpu temp option used by some apps(like trinity kernel toolbox) to show cou temp. btw, its normal for the cpu to go to 60C+ cpu temps on a hot day or during heavy use. anyways, did you realize that the human body averages around 98.6F? so, id even say that your battery is still fairly cool. while charging and using your n7, it would be normal to see battery temps around 110F or slightly higher. oh, and your cpu temps safety is at 100C, itll shutdown automatically if that tempurature is reached.
So, I noticed that When gaming (especialy with game offering 60 Fps mode) the phone will freeze and then goes into reboot even when played on cold room
from CPU temp apps, it seems when the temperature hit 40 centigrade. the phone shut down
Anyone else have this kind of problem ?
is bellow 40 centigrade is the safe limit for this phone ?
for all its awesome spec it kind restrictive for use gaming
This is by far the coolest device I've ever owned, no heat no matter what I throw at it. What does your setup look like? (ROM, kernel, etc.)
Its basicly stock one. since I just got it 2-3 days ago
Im testing it to run some CPU intensive games (60fps)
when the temperature reach 40 centigrade. it shut down
on normal usage it is quite cold.
but it seems the thermal threshold were quite low, my old HTC might also throttled down at 40 centrigade
but it dont shut down until 50 or 51 centrigade.
1+ 5 dont thorrtled but instead goes straight into shutdown
my country ambient temperature were quite high due to located near equator (30 centigrade avg, with 35 centrigade being common on daylight)
so without air conditioned room, I found it can become overheated - rather quickly
only had overheat problems using camera related chat apps (kik) and in 110 Fahrenheit degrees in CA USA

Might be a bit of an extreme solution but try doing a factory reset and see if that helps. If not, contact OnePlus support and see if you can get an RMA started. I say that because my device stays cool even on the hottest days of where I am.

I agree with the RMA solution, something isn't right because I can do anything on this phone and it never gets hot. Even when it's 99 degrees Fahrenheit with 70% humidity here in Ohio.
I've done some seriously intensive gaming and crap on this phone, and I cannot get it to overheat.
The snapdragon 835 is the coolest phone processor, you don't have any overheating issue, it must be something else. When you say 49° are you talking about the cpu, battery, skin temp?

CPU temp record its 40 centrigade when device shut down
both battery and CPU were at similiar temperature (+- 2 degree)

Cpu at 40° while gaming is really low, some phones hit 85°, of course they will throttle after that.

yeah. Thats why when the phone shut down after reach 40 centigrade.
its confusing since the thermal threshold should not be that low
same problem here
freez then reboot in heavy games
temperature around 40-50
factory reset doesnt help
