My development skills are not upto this but i am sure its not too tricky. So maybe one of you guys can have a go.
Last week i was caught speeding in my car while my sat-nav was running on my universal. This insipred my what i would like is an app with half a dozen buttons. One for each of the major speed limits. When a button has been pressed if the speed registered by your GPS exeeds that limit the phone starts alarming at you to slow down.
As i am in the UK i would like a button for each of the following speeds.
30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mph.
What do you think to this i am sure it would be useful to many people.
Dumb question.
I accidentally left my phone in my car for about 2 hours, maybe less. It was about 90 degrees or so outside that day.
When I picked it up it was warm from being in there. I fired up the AC and cooled it off. Do you think it caused any damage to the device or battery? I realize the phones sit in hot trailers, loading docks, trucks, etc.
Thoughts?
Also what are the thermal limits on the phone and battery? I'm going to assume our phones have a overheating alert of some sort built in?
Thanks for the help.
Bump.
The battery and some components are not very friendly with the heat, the coolest the better.
HI i have a Galaxy Tab S that i leave in the car all the time ..I live in Dubai and it gets freakin hot here.. only one i got a msg saying the Tab was shut down due to high temperature i dont recall the exact msg..but my Tab has been working without any problems....
Ps.. i know u asked about the Note 4
Anyone else have anything to add? Anyone have links to the thermal limits on the device? Should I be concerned of any damage I may have cause?
Thanks.

What do you mean by 90 degrees? 90 degree Celsius?
The IC chip should be OK at that temperature but some parts of the device may be affected, especially battery, touchscreen...

The outside ambient temperature was 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
As stated above the phone was left in the car for maybe 2 hours.
I'd be surprised if the cpu thermal limit is that high. I can't find any documentation on it anywhere.

90 o F = 32 o C, it is not the high temperature.
I have read somewhere that cpu thermal limit is about 60 oC. You can google it.
as i know if there any problem with device from heat it will turn self off and give warning , to use it when it cool.so i dont think there any damage.
So i feel like my Snapdragon S7 is getting hot when browsing web
And definitely when using the camera app.
Bought a laser temoerature gun and get between 33-42C after browsing the web
The latter was achieved during 1080p 60fps video recording for 5 min.
Is this normal or should i return it as tommorow is my last day?
Please comment what your temps are like during these apps.
Thanks!
My phone was getting quite warm when browsing and was draining battery. I kept disabling packages until this was fixed. Try this. Or if you are okay with full factory reset, try it and don't install any additional apps - just test the same thing first.
It shouldn't get hot while doing basic things. My phone only gets warm to the touch when I'm on VR and even then I don't consider it "hot". Disabling things or shut down all apps you have is not a fix either..it's just a workaround.. I would return it if I where you
My 935FD phone will get up to 96F (35C) while browsing or really doing anything with the screen on for more than 10 mins. It gets noticeably warm to the touch. I've already done a factory reset and disabled a few packages, but I'm not sure if this is just normal operation or not? Does everyone's phone get warm under normal use? What temps are you seeing after being in Facebook or just browsing for 10 mins straight? Trying to determine if mine might be defective as well.

I think I'm going to return mine today and get a new gs7
When I browse the Web the phone gets warm to the touch and it's annoying.
I get between 82-89F degrees just browsing the Web and if I try to use my camera
It gets to 97F like in 2 minutes.
My phone gets warm as well ehen browsing with Chrome, using the camera or facebook app. My phone is with the exynos chipset. I'm too concerned that might be an issue. I have already tried resetting the phone but it still gets warm ans sometimes even hot to the touch.

According to , my phone does got up to 36 C / 97 F while browsing the internet this morning. I let it cool down to 27 C / 80 F and took a 2 minute 1080p60 video and it went up to 32 C / 89 F.
Can anyone with a temperature gun measure theirs and see how it compares to the system temperature (e.g. BMW or GSAM) ?

What temp does your system report (BMW or GSAM if you need an app to measure it)?
Mine is almost every second at 26-29º celsius, and trust me, I make weird things with the phone! Like flashing things (so my screen is on almost 80% of daylight LOL).

My phone runs about 36c never seen above 40
Hi
So I bought my GS7E a week ago .. I started to notice that it heats so much when I use it
I just don't know if this is the normal heat for it or not so I wanted to know from your experience
so at normal base when I'm not using it it stays at 34-35C
When I use it for whatsapp, facebook an normal light use it goes up to 37C
when I charge it it goes up to 40C
and sometimes when it's in the car on in my pocket and nothing is running in the background it can go to 40C too
that makes it annoying to receive calls or to hold it and put it next on my ear
should I just keep it is it normal ? or is there a rom I could download? what should I do?
Hello to every one. Bought gs7 just two days ago.
I noticed mine gets warm after about 5_10 minutes of browsing the web. Right now its about 1 hour and its temp is 34`c. If i dont use it it goes down to 32 after some minutes.
After 20 minutes of playing gta vice city it reached 35 and afer 5 minutes of 4k recording it reached 37.
I wanted to know should i consider it normal?
Many forums state that 40 degrees battery temperature is not unsusual . However, 3-4 beers is also not unusual, but it does do damage to the brain.
On batteryuniversity.com I found an article:
"Lithium-ion suffers from stress when exposed to heat, so does keeping a cell at a high charge voltage. A battery dwelling above 30°C (86°F) is considered elevated temperature and for most Li-ion a voltage above 4.10V/cell is deemed as high voltage. Exposing the battery to high temperature and dwelling in a full state-of-charge for an extended time can be more stressful than cycling. Table 3 demonstrates capacity loss as a function of temperature and SoC."
I think this is frightful.
My S7 runs at an average of 32 degrees. (23 degrees ambient)
After half an hour of Gear VR it runs up to 43 degrees.
This means that on average this S7 runs above 30 degrees!
Should I ask a replacement or is my logic totally flawed?
Hi,
Mine, with factory reset and nothing running on background (S Health and all stock google and microsoft apps disabled), is not going below the 34 degrees without doing anything..very annoying touching the back and feel it warm.. I think I will ask for a replacement or at least a check in a experience store here in London..

Mine has gone up to 40 Celsius I have the exynos version that what the phone info app say
i notice mine would run that temp on with 4g on. so i was looking through my phone and fount google sync was turned on and i turned it off. That fixed the heat problem.
Hey guys, i have the Chinese variant of the s7 and mine also runs warm just browsing chrome, though I have to use a vpn as well. I'm past the point of getting a return, but they say I can take it in to get it checked. Have you guys had your s7 tested and is there anything they can do if there's anything wrong with the phone? I'm very frustrated over this, as I thought there would be improvements over the s5. Mine operates around 35c according to cool master and it's frustrating having a hot phone. I'm thinking of getting the supcase so I perhaps won't feel the heat so much. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is it normal for the snapdragon s7s to run a tad warm? And, you guys use a case that prevents you from feeling the heat? It's hard to use this phone naked, as the whole thing is metal and glass, so it's hot in your hand.
Hello,
I would like to ask for help, my note 4 (910V) running 5.1.1 seems pretty hot ever since I bought it (2 months ago) even with just a few minutes surfing XDA.
So I've been wondering if there's anything wrong with it, since it always easily rises above 50 degrees, and peaked at 80 degrees twice even though I never play games, just surfing webs.
I don't know what information I should provide in order to have you guys help, but first I will attach some photos I screenshots from CPU-Z. :crying:
While most people say their phones are at 30-40 degress, I'm really obsessed with my "hot" note 4, so please help me ^^ I will provide any info needed to investigate this.
Phone: SM-910V
Rom: PaulPizz Rom 5.1.1
Kernel: Oscar Kernel
Usage: Web surfing, Wifi connection is stable, Mobile Data/Sync off
To be honest the temps that you have posted looks pretty OK. none of them goes above 50 celsius.
Use cleanmaster app and see which apps use CPU. Also reduce the display brightness level.
Turn off location services.
Hey guys
I hace this problem when my phones gets a little hot it will suddenly reboot!
For example when Im playing a heavy game or using wifi hotspot on my lte network...it goes more than 45 degrees and reboots!
Does anyone know how to change this tempreture limit?
Because I have seen phones that go more than 60 and wont get damaged! (like htc one m9 or xperia z5)
I see the tempreture with a third party app named DU battery saver...
