What do you consider an over heat temperature for a phone?
My g2 over clocked @ 1.42ghz reaches 108 max when playing emulators and 3d games, is that consider over heat?

Nope overheat would be like 112 or once your phone turns off its self

So could that be reason for reboots on my previous G2 where temp would reach even 115?
I remember the sidekick lx 09 use to have the overheat problem and sidekicks usually warn you with a thermometer. Sign where the battery sign goes. I once put my phone in the fridge and forgot about it in the and left it there freezing for a good hour, luckily it didn't damage but it had ice flakes all over....

Eh... Well having a phone even over 110 can damage the component within the phone, that's why one my phone even gets near 110 I lower my overclock or even turn it off completely. LOL lucky ur phone didnt get messed up in the freezer.

"Overheat" for me is when the battery cover becomes very hot to the touch. This has happened to me once.
I bought one of those el cheapo batteries from Ebay and then trashed it when I realized that my phone was no longer reading the temperature correctly.

My phone gets uncomforably high when I'm using it overclocked that high while I'm charging. It usually cools down for me after I unplug it, and sometimes I take off my battery cover as the aluminum heats up pretty quick too.
The lid might act as a heat sink... I dunno but just a thought. I set my alarms at 40c

This may sound stupid but is there such thing as under heating a phone or over cooling it? Cuz in the winter phone temp is usually very low even when I play emulators going to college @ the train station

Maybe, it depends on the situation. Very low temperatures will affect the LCD temporarily and maybe cause poor battery efficiency but shouldn't affect the running of the phone too much. If its cold outside, the phone will be able to dissipate the heat more.
Transition between high and low temperatures can significantly affect it though. I think its high temp to low temp, the air will condense and deposit moisture in the phone. Again, its probably nothing to really worry about, its only extreme temperature change that does that normally.

I think cellphones are made with outside temperatures between -10° and +50° C in mind.

Anyone else notice their G2 runs super hot in general? My friend with a Desire Z is able to daily use 1.4GHz...I have to set mine to on demand between 245 and 998 for it not to hit 38C+.
On top of that, my G2 gets about 40C when I'm charging which is certainly quite hot! Running Virtuous 0.7.2 w/pershoot, but it does this on Cyanogen and evil kernel as well.
Does anyone know of any disassembly shots/videos? I'm thinking I might take everything apart and re-thermal paste everything...
Thanks!
verkion
Eh... 1st of all... you're going to put thermal paste on the battery? The temperature reading for the g2 is the temperature of the battery.
2nd: I've never heard of a phone that had a heatsink on its cpu. So I don't think you'd even have a place to put thermal paste.
40c is totally fine btw.

Not on the battery! Although, that's an interesting idea...use the dry thermal pads between the battery and the door. I'm just checking if everything is getting overly hot compared to some of your other devices. Thought it may be the charging circuit having issues or something...or bad battery.
40C is fine though? At what temp do most of you have set for CPU throttling in SetCPU then? I have mine throttle to lowest when it hits that temp.

40C does sound pretty warm to me even if its while the phone is charging. I am OC'd to 1.4ghz and even when using the phone while charging, I hardly ever go over 37C.
My on-demand is set to 368/1497 and when temp>38C 245/768, although that profile never really comes into play as my temperature rarely gets that hot. Have you checked your running applications to see if there is something eating system resources? Reason I say that is because the only time my phone gets noticeably 'hotter' is after I have been playing Angry Birds for say 20+ minutes.
I wonder if its due to Variable charging currents/rates. I've noticed this is particularly problematic when i charge from say...15% battery. And yeah, Angry Birds for 20+ mins = toasty!
verkion
Hmmm, that seems a bit warmer than the norm. The thermal pad idea was a good thought though. But I'd suspect some modding to be done for it to work.
There's a very detailed teardown at http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
As batteries get older do they tend to run hotter? Or just make the phone hotter in general? I remember the phone running pretty cool in the beginning now it gets quite toasty from time to time.

Well thats not good whether your battery is brand new or a couple years old. Are you OC'd? If so, do you run temperature profiles? How long / hard do you use the phone before it gets that hot?

Mine would get warm to the touch using it heavily on the charger and overclocking to 1.2ghz or so.
Not sure why you'd overclock past 1ghz. I've never seen my phone bog down with anything at 1ghz. Some like to do it though. The usual level for overclockers is probably 1.2ghz. I personally keep it at 806mhz...

Hi all I have spent same time in last days playing Real Racing 3. Very nice game.
While playing the temperature of my N4 became very high. It's a 1.5 quadcore with GPU working hard so it should be normal. But I saw, in system tuner, that while gaming it can reach even 70 Celsius. Is it normal this temperature in gaming or should I be worried?
What about your temperature in gaming?
PS: for the battery this game can drain all the battery in less than 2 hours, but even this should be normal because without gaming it usually reach 4 hours screen on, so 2 hours of hard gaming should be normal.
Let me know.

ive seen 100C cpu temp on my device, then again i was trying to reach it. i wouldnt worrry too much about the heat. if your device gets warm enough then the heat throttle will automatically kick in. itll reduce your cpu speed and cool down the device. if you keep pushing your device past the thermal throttle, itll eventually hit the automatic thermal safety shutdown temp, which will automatically turn off your device to cool it down.

Good to know that I'm not the only one with this temperatures... In first moment I thought of down clocking GPU and CPU...

Generally, you should not let your phone temperature get greater than 50°C. Otherwise, you risk permanently heat-damaging the battery.

100C is the safety shutdown temp for the nexus 4, your phone wont melt at that temp. my gnex has hit 110C many many times, thats the shut down temp for the gnex.
you have to realize that there are two different temp readings, cpu temp and battery temp. while your battery reaching 50C isnt safe, 50C for the cpu is still relatively cool, and does not put your phone into danger.

So am running classic stability test 2.7, and I've ran this before and my CPU get to 60°C or after like 15 minutes, I ran it today out of sheer curiosity and it started to show 91°C. Am using cm with there kernel since I recently flashed the latest nightly and thought how would it differ from matrixes. Another thing it can be that the values are being incorrectly displayed. Is this something I should worry about? Am really not in the mood for an RMA and losing my phone. Shouldnt of the system shut itself down after a certain limit as a fail safe?

Are you sure it is Celsius and not Fahrenheit? Is about 33 degrees Celsius. At 91 degrees it would have shut down and rebooted a long time before reaching that temperature.
Trickster mod says its °C so?
edit: the device itself gets very very hot which am sure if it was running at 30 it would be fairly cool would it not?

it was very hot I had to put it down so am guessing its 90C, but now its a lot better, it seems it wasn't throttling proper? it attempted to run the entire thing at 1.5ghz constantly, rather than it's usually clocking down to 1.1ghz. Now it's throttling and while its at 78C, it just feels warm and it actually being managed.
I flashed back to matrix's kernel and prefed to use the scaling test which would probably be closer to real life usage and its running 45C. I really like CM and don't want to flash back to stock but I may end up doing it

stability tests are meant to push your cpu to its limits. pushing the cpu to its limits will create lots of heat. it is meant to do that. if youre using stability tests, you can not complain about heat. its like putting your car in neutral then flooring the gas pedal, itll cause your engine to get hot, especially if you do it for 15 minutes.

safety cpu shutdown for the gnex is 110C. as soon as i saw it hit 110C, it shut down. but you really have to try to get it to that point by stressing it awfully hard. same with the nexus 4, 100C is the safety shutdown. running certain benchmarks or stress tests are the only ways to get it that hot. which is why it makes no sense that someone running a stress test for 15 minutes is complaining about heat, asking if he should rma his device.

Canada its fkin freezing!! just checked set cpu and its 23 c, but im just scrolling through twitter, not really doing anything else.
The points that I would be concerned with temps are
Battery > 50°C
CPU > 80°C
This is based on stock thermal throttle at 60°C CPU
On Franco kernel I have upped my throttle limit to 70°C so I wouldn't be concerned unless it went above 85.
You will know if your battery is at a dangerous temperature because it will be very uncomfortable to hold

for the record am not asking if I can RMA, am happy with my device and really don't need to lose it for a week. But this just started happening more frequently. Sometimes the thermald ****s up and it doesn't throttle at all, at times I could be just playing GTA, Worms, Plague etc I usually don't notice because the phones down on the table, pick it up and owwwww flashing back to matrix solved the majority of it tbh. Right now it's sitting on 31C idle, it'll be about 40-50C on chrome funnily enough, and then 60ishC on games, pushing 70 depending how long I leave it on. I see that as fairly normal tbh, but 90C? I wouldn't even trust my fan cooled i5 to go there.
And am back were I started just playing 2 minutes of batman and its at 70°C and burning my hand

cool.
but yea, its possible to reach those high temps if, and only if, pushing your cpu. itll get warmer faster if your gpu is overclocked(is gpu overclocked in franco kernel?). now, if doing nothing and the phone gets that hot, thats a problem(software or hardware).
nah its not overclocked, atm its cooled down, although it does take a while to drop from a high temp to something low even on idle.
Hello, I've had my nexus 4 for about a week and a halfish now and I've noticed that the phone is running pretty warm after even just light usage. I download a battery temperature reader and a CPU temperature measurer. At Idle the batter temperature is at about 33-36 degrees Celsuis. And the CPU temperature at Idle is usually in the lower 40's at idle. Are these Temperatures to high?
Also When I plays games or use any apps for a just a few minutes the battery Temperatures get at around 40 degress C and the CPU temp is usually around the 45-50 area. Again Are these temperature to high?
I would really appreciate if anyone could give me useful help on this issue I'm having with my phone.

I'm assuming your Nexus 4 is a newer one (rev. 11). Nexus 4s have been known to run quite hot. My rev. 10 is at 42 C coming out of sleep without use, earlier when I played Need for Speed, it got to 60 C. It seems to be normal for mine, although it does get uncomfortably hot.

I would really appreciate if anyone could give me useful help on this issue I'm having with my phone.
Is this normal for a nexus 4?
Should I be concerned?
Should I get a new nexus 4?

completely normal. right smack in the middle of the range of normal. remember, human body temperature average is 37C or 98.6F. when you use your device, the temp will go up when you use a cpu intensive game, the temperature will get even hotter. this all also depends on the surrounding air temperature. the warmer it is around, the warmer the device will get or idle.
Normal. Because the back is made of glass, it absorbs the heat and you feel it more than other phones.

Lol My Nexus S get's warm on idle because of the hot air around. haha my nexus 4 coming in 3 days let's see!
This btonons
Hmm, That seems weird, if the phone throttles you at 37 degrees shouldn't my phone not be idling at that temperature, and the my front screen seems to get warm after slight usage to. And looking on other forums people with a stock nexus 4 said that there phone idles around mid twenties, not the lower-mid thirties.

I hope you like it man, besides the warmness of the phone it's pretty sweet!

Hello, I've had my nexus 4 for about a week and a halfish now and I've noticed that the phone is running pretty warm after even just light usage. I download a battery temperature reader and a CPU temperature measurer. At Idle the batter temperature is at about 33-36 degrees Celsuis. And the CPU temperature at Idle is usually in the lower 40's at idle. Are these Temperatures to high?

for hard working with QuadCore it s normal to get ~40 C quickly
But after 40C i think it s not normal and it s better to ask official service

look at the time they were posted. now its warmer eveeywhere. and again, human body temp is 37C. you have a quad core phone, it WILL get hot at times, that is normal. pushing the device, you might even see 70C or 75C.

Hmm okay I have pushed the phone and the highest CPU temp I reached was about 60ish. I'm not exactly worried about how hot it gets, it's just how fast it gets hot, it seems a little odd that just running facebook and twitter for a few minutes can get the battery temperature up to 40 degrees celsius.

That sounds similar to the results that I have found on the web, people said that to get there battery temperature up to 40 degress they have to push the phone, mine gets there just by opening a few apps.
If you want to cool it down and you are happy with messing about with your phone, try undervolting the CPU. Although I tend not to check the temperature, my phone (UVd by around -150) feels far cooler; playing Real Racing it doesn't get as warm as simple browsing would on stock.

I have heard of this, but I'm more focused on how the temperature should be on this phone untampered. Rooting and tweaking kind of scares me a bit.

40C is not hot. get that out of your head. idle temp will depend on the air temperature around you. yesterday was 91 in nyc, my phone was idling between 39-42C. stick your hand in 40C water, itll barely feel warm.

40 C is 104 F degrees, That would feel more than just "barely warm"

On a surface like metal it would, but not in water. That said, the back of the phone isn't water but I'm sure the temperature of the back of the phone is lower than the CPU

Couldn't agree more, The back of the phone I wouldn't say it HOT, but it is definitely very warm. But I'm not talking about how hot the phone feels. I'm trying to ask about the internal temperatures and if it's normal for it to heat up so fast.

again. this is normal. 104F would not feel more than slightly warm water.
the glass in the back of the phone is there to draw out the heat from the phone. its glass, and will feel warm. if you have problems with 40C, then i would recommend that you buy a dumb phone. my nexus 7, galaxy nexus, and nexus 4 all idle a bit warmer now than in winter. 40C is very normal.
