Well, I noticed that my battery runs quite warm so I checked with system monitor and got this; stand-by 27-29C
normal use 36-37C
after Angry birds 40C
I use GingerDXv009 [email protected], so I want to now is this normal an yours experiences with bat temp
thx
Those temps appear fairly normal to me. If the battery was getting too hot your phone would automatically shut down to protect the battery.
I also think that its OK, i just wanted to check with others
thx

I've noticed it previously during usage (like on the internet while having MSN running, or while playing games)
but I just got off a phone call which lasted about 20 minutes, and the front (and back) of my phone was just too warm for me to ignore. I would have suggested that it was the heat from my cheek against the phone but that wouldn't explain how the phone was quite noticeably warmer than my cheek.
The backlight wasn't on (i doubt the LED backlight would cause much heat anyway).
Does the mega have any internal temperature sensors like PC's have? And any software to read them?
My previous phones NEVER got this hot on even hour long calls,
and mix this with the fact that at my work one of the PDA's blew up a few weeks ago (was the battery), it just makes me that more paranoid!
I am going to Hard Reset soon anyway as things started running a little slowly recently, I hope it will also stop any hidden processes that may be running in the background and overworking the cpu. But I would still like to know of any software

I think its pretty normal to heat up during long conversation. Their manual also says "Using any function for long time will heat up the phone", but only upto a level.

i've never experienced warming of the phone which is coused by operating it , well maybe just a lil utube watching for an hour but it was warm of my hands , i'm only worried when i leave it charging and after 15-20 mins LOL ! the phone is HOT i know that is normal , just sharing opinion
Heat comes from 2 sources in general external and internal.
External is from sun, your hands or phone in your pocket. On longer run this is not good for battery life.
Using navigation in your car during summer can run your phone real hot and feels quite uncomfortable! From a 20 min call it should not. But this is subjective.
Internal heat is caused when your processor has to work hard; like when several programs running and processes in back ground. You can check and kill them with task manager (FDC soft task manager) and batteryguard. Also soft reset kills most "unwanted" processes. A good indication for high level of processor activity is when your battery level goes quickly down.
Its normal mate, on mine when i use GPS for long time it does the same, processor works hard and battery gets hot.
Not sure if navigation alone causes your battery to run hot. Since navigation can run on 200Mhz processors and Mega processor has much higher clock speed it is overspecified.
The influence of phone close to windscreen and therefor impact of light/sun may be much bigger. When I run navigation (TomTom) in winter phone stays nicely "cool".
Not sure if it could help but once i noticed the Mega too warm and discharging instead of charging, after i connected it to the notebook via usb cable!
Rebooted PC and HTC and everything luckly returned normal...

Indeed a soft reset in most cases solves this.
hi,
i often plug my phone into the cradle which allows me to charge my phone and connect to the pc . when ever i dont on my pc. i use my phone as replacement and use it for occasionally surfing, stream online radio, while charging via the cradle.
will concurrent use of phone and consistent plugged in spoil the battery or the phone ? will this bloat ot shorten the batt life ? i notice my phone runs at 50degree celcius on tbattery. is that a normal.range ?
thanks in advnce !
no one knows ?
any advice here ???
Lithium batteries like being topped up as opposed to running them right down so that will be good for your phone. 50c sounds a bit hot although the phone can get fairly warm while playing graphic intensive games but as long as it cools down while idling i would say that that is ok.
hi, i have been using this phone for 2 weeks now. i noticed that the phone become heat up when using for awhile and the battery run out fast too. any solution or help to this issues?:crying::crying::crying:

Try installing CPU Spy, to make sure your CPU is throttling down and going to deep sleep when the screen is off.
What I usually do is I clear the value in CPU Spy and then lock the phone and leave it for say an hour. After that I directly go back to CPU Spy and see how the CPU behaved in that hour. It should deep sleep 90+% of the time. If it's not there might be a rouge app, that you'll have to track through the battery section of the settings.
Do you use Google Now by any chance and have GPS turned on? That seems to be quite the battery drainer!
No matter on which kernel I am ,stock/franco/semaphore etc... When I play heavy games like asphalt8 ,nfs mw and GTA VC my battery drains like hell ,and then the % stuck and not going down for about 30 minutes. Here is an example:
Had 25% ,launched NFS MW and played for 5 minutes on low brightness. After 5 minutes showed up on my screen the low battery notification ,4% left. Resumed the game and after 20 seconds my phone showed "Shutting down".
It happens everytime ,no matter how many cycles I'm doing. Another example:
Yesterday I had 69% ,played GTA VC for a couple minutes and boom ,35%. After that I surfed in the web ,listened to music in Soundcloud ,and did a lot of things with screen on and battery was stuck on 35% for about 30 minutes. Launched NFS MW ,played about 2 minutes just to see what happens and boom - battery droped to 25%.
It happens only when I play heavy games. Please help me ,what can it be? Tried many roms too ,same result. Now I'm on stock JWR66Y with stock kernel.
thats normal behavior. when using the device heavily, battery drops faster. unfortunately, our battery stats are 100% accurate. when the battery drops fast, actually showing a little more battery used than it actually used. so what you are experiencing is the bounce back affect. what its doing is making itself accurate again. sometimes after using the battery alot and fast, if you let it sit there, the battery % will rise, kinda looks like its being charged without plugging in.

Ok ,got it. But what is the explanation to situation like I described here:
"Had 25% ,launched NFS MW and played for 5 minutes on low brightness. After 5 minutes showed up on my screen the low battery notification ,4% left. Resumed the game and after 20 seconds my phone showed "Shutting down".
Then I turned on my phone and battery % was 10 ,and stuck for a couple of minutes on 10.

our battery stats inaccuracy.
sometimes, when benchmarking at high cpu speeds at 70% battery left, for example, and the phone crashes, itll boot back up and show that theres 20% left(for example). then if you reboot the phone again, it go back to 70%. or if you let it just sit there at that 20% with the screen off, youll notice it slowly "charge" itself without being plugged in. this happens often. and happens on every single android phone starting with tge originally released g1. yes, our battery status is just very inaccurate and inefficient. youve probably heard of people experiencing the rlod(red light of death). this is also a good example. sometimes the phone itself creates a situation that itjust thinks that the battery fell below 0%(which creates the rlod issue). and when people get their phone up and running again, itll show 50, 60, 70%..

It's so annoying ,I'm getting crazy with that.
Anyway thank you @simms22 for your answer and your help ,appreciate it.

Hi guys and girls,
I've got my A5 a few days back, and at start it worked great. I've messed up with a lot of software, tried everything out, and instead of uninstalling everything I thought it'd be best to do a factory reset. That's where my problems started.
While I set up the phone and installed all the apps (updated) that came with the phone, connected to a 100Mbps optical internet via AC wifi, I lost about 15% of battery. Okay, who knows what the phone needed to do, lets move on.
Next day I was just using Whatsapp, messaging with my gf, and the phone was a bit warm with 20-25% brightness (auto-off). The battery temperature was 32-33C, and I used an infrared thermometer and measured 33.5C on the back of the phone at the Samsung logo. Then I just browsed the settings, setting up my phone a bit more, and it was still getting warm, getting anywhere between 31 to 33C on the battery and around 33C with an IR thermometer. I still can't say much about battery drainage but the phone is getting pretty warm even while browsing the web or doing non-intensive tasks.
Does the A5 2017 get warm or is it just me? Should I RMA it?
Have a520f, 33C is near average. But it's also dependent on the weather. Fast charging or charging with the screen off will raise it. If it wasn't always like that, maybe something in the background is using the CPU, checking for updates or notifications. The CPU/GPU is like a car engine, running at various 'speeds' and 'weights it is carrying', and it does get warm. Only if it gets hot, then it's a problem. Many apps could do those checks once the screen is turned on. Uninstalling/changing settings will only help with battery life (percent drain), the temperature is ok. The a520f (and a510f) also has touchboost, temporarily raising the CPU clock when the screen is touched. Might be noticeable with background tasks while using a keyboard.
Thanks friend. Didn't know about "Touchboost", you opened it up for me a bit there.
While the screen is off, It's perfectly fine. Once I take it in my hands, it starts to get warm around the Samsung logo. It's probably screen + apps + nowhere to dissipate heat, but I wasn't noticing it at start. I've only had it for a couple of days now. I don't know about the battery drainage, with a charge lasting me ~40hrs with 7h SOT I wouldn't say it's draining at all - though my screen is at low brightness, 1/4 max.
Just wanted to see what you other guys are getting as I thought it was high. My ambient is around 24-25C all year long. I've seen tests where people weren't getting more than 30C at all, but as you said, it's the ambient that dictates that.
Idk if this is only with mine but sometimes I turn the phone off completely and put it to charge and it happens that it can reach like 35°C without touching it. Now the phone is plugged, I only browse with chrome facebook.. and it is like 37°c. That can happen when it is not plugged too. Using wifi seems to be better though.
I dont think I have an important battery drain because it can last about 6-8h SOT normal usage.
Onr other thing, when I turn on the mobile hotspot, the battery drains way more than usually and heats up too.
