Hey, I got my nexus 4 a couple days ago and have been messing around with it. I recently went back to stock and flashed franco kernel. I just played about ten minutes of Modern Combat 4 and my battery fell more than 10%!!! I think it was fine when I first got it so I hope I didnt damage my battery somehow. I did run like 3 mins of stresstest but I did not let my battery temp get higher than 40 degrees Celsius. My CPU temp did hit 70 though and throttled. Im really baffled as what to do... When playing MC4 my phone did not feel overly hot and when I checked my battery temps were around 35 degrees.

The back of my phone gets pretty warm when I'm using it, I d/led the bat stat widget, I charged my phone overnight and notived that in the morning the temp on the battery was 19F, then I pick it up, play AngryBirds for about 10-15 minutes, check back, and the battery is at 99F!!! Is this normal?
After a couple of hours of it sitting here at my desk, I had a starting temp of 25.5 C... after about 10-15 of Angry Birds, now at 38.5 C.
Or 77.9 F to 101.3 F. A bit warm it seems to me.

I highly doubt your battery temp could get below freezing (32*). 99* isnt all that hot. 85* is around idle temp. I've seen my hero in the 104's*. You may have got C confused with F.
^ Freezing on the Farenheit scale is 32. On Celsius it's 0. ^
EDIT: Sorry, nevermind. Thought you were referring to the poster just above you and hadn't noticed the OP.
(Impaler, if you could just delete this post that'd be cool.)
About 20 min of Angry birds got the battery to 109F right now. This is silly.

Gaming on a cellular device does eat up a lot of juice. Especially a game with great graphics like modern combat. I see you have red lines in your battery status. You must have bad signal or no signal from where you are. That drains battery power as well as it tends to draw more power to try to connect to the cell tower/antenna. (Just in case you didn't know)

I actually dont have a sim card in yet, since I just got the phone.
I've found the phone goes longer between charges since I've broken it in a bit - a few months' charge / recharge cycles (plus expecting to need to recharge after a heavy gaming sesh) have helped

Even without the SIM card it still scans and connects to the wireless network (or attempts to when there is no signal), any cell phone with or without an active plan legally must be allowed to complete a 911 call.
Just one app's performance is not sufficient to determine the state of the battery. Run the phone for a couple of days (without the game) and get a better idea of the overall performance. I'm not sure what franco's kernel gets for battery life overall, but I'm sure other user's have posted in the thread, compare your use vs life to theirs.
In the future, don't stress test your phone. And don't double post threads please.
But my main question is, should it fall so steeply during a 10 min gaming session? If it kept falling like that I doubt il even be able to get an hour gaming time...

That's normal for MC4. I can completely drain my phone in about two hours playing that game.

Alright thanks. The first day I got it I was able to get 4 hours screen time since I was just installing stuff and readying it up. I just got worried that from my stresstesting for 3 mins I might of damaged the battery somehow. I wont be stresstesting again lol.

That's pretty damn good. Game's tend to use up quite a bit of battery, even games that aren't that intense, I get about 4% drop in ten minutes of playing Plague Inc. I don't imagine that game is nearly as CPU/GPU heavy as MC4. Of course I tend to have screen brightness higher, so that burns juice too.
Hi i bought nexus 7 16 GB recently .upgraded to jelly bean 4.3.I feel the tablet getting warmed up soon when playing games like Temple run,Riptide GP,Dead trigger.In standby and normal browsing the temperature is around 32 C but when playing games within 10 to 15mins the temperature rises to 37 C.I can feel the back panel warm but not too hot.Is this normal or defective,my device is still in 30 days replacement period..i already replaced once.Pls let me know thank you.
anyone???
I don't think you should worry about it too much. It's normal to heat up during charging and playing games. Btw, when you play games, you hold your tab more firmly, so you heat it up more yourself.
thank you i just nw measured cpu temperature at standby,no apps running. its 50 c.is this normal?
Hi guys, recently picked up a galaxy s5, and noticed it gets extremely hot.
Now I'm well aware smart phone get hot, especially when running intensive apps, but the s5 seems unusually hot. Also when I went into settings - display - brightness I get a message saying unable to increase brightness further this device is overheating
I've downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester to monitor battery temperatures.
Can anyone comment on whether their phone runs hot, and ideally let me know battery temperatures please.
Thanks
Yes, mine does (an Exynos variant), and the maximum EVER it has gone is 40 deg Celsius, with the current latest update. But with the previous update, everything worked fine. Maybe we should wait for a fix. Don't worry much, everything will be alright.
Driving using GPS (waze) + Sunny time + Charging and I think I had 45 or something, maybe 46 but thats about it.
gets to around 40 to 45 degrees celsius while gaming
Why my note 3 battery temperature is always high always around 32 ~ 35
Is that nornal?????
Yeah it´s absolutely normal If you start playing games temperature could be 50°+
Don´t worry battery has temperature sensor

That is normal . depending on your region temperature...
I live in South Africa where in the summer it gets very hot 30 degrees plus...MY phone will be 32 when idle...It never goes higher than 38 degrees though.
Now its winter in my country.Outside temp is 15-25 and my phone will be 20(idle)-30(usage after 1hr of use)
If you have custom kernel installed it may be due to you disabling DVFS

Plastic is a terrible heatsink. It doesn't hold off external heat and it has serious issues draining heat. Particularly when there is something on the other side of the plastic (hand, leg, coat, etc.)
Anything below 1ºC and above 45ºC (Idle) and you need to start worrying.
It's 24ºC right now, and mine's been idling at 26ºC on the desk (inside an otterbox commuter) for a couple of hours.
