I was wondering if any one else's Atrix gets pretty warm/hot from use. I was expecting the dual core to generate heat but it does concern me a little. The battery app I am using displays the phone temp and when its idle it is about low to mid 30's. I noticed today while using the gps and playing music at the same time the phone started to get pretty hot. when I looked at the temp it was 45. It didn't get any hotter then that and I tried moving the phone out of direct sunlight to see if it would drop the temps a little but it still stayed pegged at 45. Playing one of the dual core supported games the phone would hover around 40-42 deg. Are these normal operating temps for the phone?
I don't have an atrix.. yet. but could it be due to the 1960mAh battery? that would in theory heat the phone up quite a bit..
I haven't checked the numbers, but what you describe matches my subjective experience. Most of the time the phone stays cool, but when it can get warm during an extended Samurai II session or when charging from less than 50% battery.
I think in one of the other multiple battery threads someone explained that the heat is coming from where the processors are located, the bottom portion of the screen.
My Atrix does get noticeably hot when streaming video or playing games...

The dual 1GHz cpu, gpu, and 1GB DDR2 ram packages are stacked on top of each other, just above where the speaker grill is. I'd expect that to get quite warm.

45C is not that bad. I hear about people running their phones to 50 - 55C. The only issue with prolonged use at that temp would be decreased battery performance. Even then it would need to be running at that temp pretty constantly to have any noticeable effect unless you plan on keeping the phone for more than a year (which would be impossible for someone like me anyways, I like shiny new things)
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.
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Oh not again. I was just about to ask about this, as my note 7 heats up as well but it hasn't exploded yet. When does yours heat up gaming or just casual use?
What was the ambient temperature of your environment of the time of use? Just wondering.
I've only had the phone get really warm to touch once, when using podcast, phone and navigation in the car. Around 68 degrees ambient. Nothing too unusual. This battery is much smaller and better tested. Though even my Note 7 never got dangerously hot.
I have been using my Note 8 heavy for 3 days now. With the brightness turned up to about 80% and my phone has not even gotten warm.

I drive a lot, in the direct sun and while using GPS and streaming music to the car. Every phone I've ever had has shut down on me at least once, with the iPhone shutting down as well.
Internal temps are usually 60-70°c at that point, so I honestly don't think the Note 8 will be any different.
I'm genuinely excited to see how it fairs, with the larger screen and dual glass body.
I had my Hotspot on all night so I could upload files from my pc...phone was in its case and it was still cool to the touch in the morning...
Maybe I have an older wireless charger, but my phone heats up to 40C while charging and only running Sidesync (wireless). It's the Ravpower wireless charger (not fast charging). This only happened once, and now I'm unplugging the cable to the charging stand after it reaches 100%....may need the ones with the built in fans.
mine gets really hot when watching 4K HDR content on youtube with max brightness... I have to switch hands from time to time haha
I was in my backyard yesterday reading on mine, it was about 90 degrees out. I didn't notice outside but when I came in my phone was hot.
I won't lie, I was concerned and sat it on a table away from me.
Exynos Model here.
Mine gets hot when I watch 4k Youtube videos.
I also noticed that it gets mildly warm when using spotify.
Other than that, it runs cool.
I was recording right in the sun for about 10 minutes I had it set up in 4k, got a message saying that the phone is too hot couldn't use the camera until it cool down.
Never heats! Only a little warm at times
Barely feel any heat even with a long gaming session.
Might be exynos related my snapdragon barely gets warm even after a long periods of demanding games. This is the first phone I've ever used that doesn't even get warm my exynos Note 5 only last a minute or two before it gets pretty warm and thermal throttle kicks on my framerate in games drop.
My Exynos N8 gets warmer in general use than my Snapdragon Xperia XZ. Warm but never hot.
After 5 months of use, my exynos 950F 128 GB only gets a little warm, I have even tried to make it hot, using it heavily, but, no, just a little warm, even cooler than other devices I have had
My N950F Exynos Note8 barely if ever gets warm. Only time I have felt it get warm was when using Googleaps Navigation while the phone sat in direct sunlight in the car dashboard.

Mine is exynos and it gets warm when i play world war heroes with full detail configuration, performance mode on and charging the phone at same time.
Despite living in a hot and very humid environment. I found that my N950N has been able to keep pretty cool even when in it's Spigen Tough Armor.

That is perfectly normal for your device get warm if you are playing graphics intensive games and while your device is charging.
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread.

My Phone maxes out at 47°C at heaviest of loads like playing PUBG WITH HDR+90fps in room temperature of 35°C and under just Ceiling fan.
While Playing Asphalt 9 under Same Circumstances the temperature never crossed 41°C
The Heating Dissipation is Spot on and it quite literally makes that lower portion hot but it's tolerable and it cools down quickly.
865+ phones will always heat up it's quite normal the good thing is how is the heat dissipation just so that the performance never throttles and it's very good in this device.
Normal Usage never makes the phone heat up from the ambient temperature much (+/-4°C)
While X Mode does heat up the phone i prefer not using it as it doesn't make much difference (as the phone is already too fast) while playing PUBG/Asphalt and it drains the battery quite quickly.

yep couldn't agree more the X mode makes the battery drain much quicker i didn't like it at all....without using the X mode battery ain't draining much so yeah f them X modes...bout the heat mine doesn't goes above 38°C..but if im using the X mode it'll goes to 41°C while draining the batteries no thank you famiglia

Yes you are correct ROG3 XMode 100% Doesn't make any difference when you Play PubG bcoz the phone already have 865 snapdragon and 650 gpu. that is why everytime i played PUBG i dont need to turn on XMODE.
I keep playing Normal mode Off XMODE Smooth+90hz in pubg even my ROG 1 first generation.
Hi guys! Have someone tried playing on an external monitor with mobile Dock? I got 50°C tonight playing Cod mobile max settings, even using mobile Dock fan at max speed.
heat on 865+ vs. 865 versions
Can anyone here speak on the differences between the 865+ and 865 versions in terms of heat? Do they both run uncomfortably hot or is the 865 better in that regards? thx in advance
Mine is heating like hell, Only 10 mins with Smooth+90FPS crosses 41°C. Any kernal to fix this?

To answer my own question, I did end up getting the 865+ version and so far, even with 2+ hours of gaming (Honor of Kings, capped at 60fps, X-Mode off), my phone has yet to hit 40 C. Usually hovers around 38 C.

OK let me clearify, 41c is extremely cool. The reason the Phone feels hotter to the touch than other phones is because the Rog3 has an amazing cooling system. It uses the screen and chassy to cool down the components which is extremely effective. Other phones hit easily 90c+ on internal components.
The fact that the phone gets 40+c hot is proof that the cooling works 100%. If you feel its too hot for your taste, get a cover or use a controller.
This phone is really cool compared to what I used to have. Only time I felt the phone hot was when I made a huge amount of bench as the phone recognize bench apps and go overboard on thermals.
With any games I don't feel much heat, it is like if I was using another phone only for web browsing or read mangas. With the huge copper chamber (for a phone) and the real heat sink on the back this phone really stay cool.
I concur with Danishblunt, the phone does feels warmer (or hotter, depending on taste) when gaming, but as opposed to other phones, the warm sensation is more distributed on the back of the phone, rather than just on a localized spot.
This is due to the heatsinks/vapor chamber cooling, so it does its job.
I bought a case (not the aesthetic one included on the box) and it feels good. Temperature wise, the sensation is less warm than without case.
