got my arc a few days back...apart from suffering from poor battery issues, I have noticed that when I play games on the arc, the top part around the camera starts heating up..
I observed it first when I was playing homerun battle with the charger plugged it..so I thought perhaps its because of playing while charging..
however, even after removing the charger and playing games, the heating continues..in fact the temp indicator on battery indicator shows temps of early to mid 30 C (86F) while playing games (I have not dared to let it go beyond tht)....while on idle it overs around early to mid 20C
is this normal?
my dell streak on the other hand rarely crosses 30C even on heavy gaming...
it's normal i'd say, mine does exactly the same. Infact most of my android handsets have done the same, must be due to the high processor power i guess.
When i have wi-fi off then the phone doesnt heat.
I think this happen cause of of many apps running in the background.

I never use the wi-fi on my handset apart from tethering, which is only occasionally but my handset heats up whilst playing games.
I think it's just down to the size of the handset. To fit everything into such a small body, all the components have to be very close together and that will impact how heat dissipates.
Think about laptops, they get noticeably warm when under heavy load in a way that desktop PCs tend not to, because there's more room in them for air to move and heat to dissipate - it's just the same but on a smaller scale, the differences in size of phones is obviously much smaller but so is the amount of heat being produced/power being used.
I would just like to say that the arc does not heat up very much, compared to an Atrix, that is. That phone regularly reaches up to 36c, and people have told me that going up to ~50 was NORMAL for it (eg using GPS navigation). The top portion also most likely holds the CPU and the rest of the components. I wouldn't worry about it too much..My arc is frequently around 30c during use. I think the battery life is quite good though
yup I thought so..its gotta do more with the size of the arc and what all it can do...and if you can go upto 50C then there is a long way to go.....
however, take for example my dell streak..its a 5 inch screen in a body which is 9.9mm thin...so a big phone and pretty thin but still it doesnt heat up too much...
on the other hand think about the Samsung galaxy s2...8.49 mm and a dual core processor...probably be a fireball after you play graphic intensive games on it for sometime..
Noticed it as well. My advice ?
Step 1. Buy a silicone gel casing.
Step 2. Place it around your phone.
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit.
Basically just ignore it - I'm pretty sure up to 40 celsius is alright, and the only reason why you notice it so much on Arc is because of how thin the device is. With summer coming though, I'd lay off gaming in direct sunlight
I once had quite a long session of angry birds; And after I quit, my temp was at 44゜C
Regardless of unhealthy temperature, it's still working up till now.
mine averages around 35. my 3G is always on and when on skype vc for a long time, it hits 43/44 too. but its due to the thinness of the handset.

It make not be incredibly thick but given the size of it's footprint, the components can probably be spaced out a bit more allowing the heat to dissipate more effectively.
My arc also heating up when I play dungen defender is really really hot especially the LCD screen...i feel that the tempreture is more than 60C ... will it damage the phone?
Jesus people, youre running a 1GHz CPU and a 3D graphics card flat out in a package not much bigger than a PCMCIA card, i think you can expect it to get a little warm.
When i think about the size of the heatsink+fan i had fitted to my first 1GHz desktop CPU to keep it from melting itself into a puddle of silicon, i'm amazed that modern phones manage to keep from spontaneously combusting.
^ what he said. remember, with higher processing power comes with higher heat discharge.
kinda offtopic but compared to the x10 where the cpu is under the battery, the heat would transfer to the battery causing it to overheat and reboot. i'm glad SE placed the cpu away from the battery.
it also seems like they've added a larger metallic plate (can be seen under the battery) in the Arc for improved heat dissipation.
+1. although bat temperature almost the same with my old phone, arc definitely feel err, cooler?
Hi guys,
My first time to post here, I know its normal for arc s to heat up when playing games. But is it also normal if on idle? it heats up to 38 degrees celcius. It concerns me because it drains my battery so much. Thanks!
all CPUs nowadays have a temperature threshold up to 70°C .. that means if the phone hits this temperature it will shutdown automatically, if this doesnt happen you dont have to worry and i think you will feel the difference between 40 and 70°C

Thanks for clarifying mate . What concerns me though is when its idle after charging @100% sittin' there say like 10-20 mins, check battery and boom! almost 50% was lost.

When gaming, it gets so hot that it makes me think "this should definitely not be this hot", I would categorize it as "an unusual amount of heat". It makes me afraid I'm going to melt something on the inside haha so I give it a break. I know it's hard to describe temperature over the internet but is yours getting uncomfortably hot?

Mine sometimes gets on the warm side, but the Nexus 10 has safeguards to prevent "dangerous" temps (your CPU clock will downclock in increments of 100MHz until the CPU gets cooler, and then spike back up to 1.7GHz; lowest I've seen it go was 800MHz).
Download Cooltool at play store and set up what you want to show as a floating widget. This is how I monitor my cpu, batt temp, ram, wifi strength etc. This way you can be more accurate in determining wether your device is too hot and if you should be worried.

Hey thanks a lot for that! but uhh how hot is too hot for the battery?
Mine gets really damn hot as well near the removable cover. I really pondered removing the cover and back and seeing if I can make vents in the back, with a screen, then I can remove that removable cover while gaming. It's most noticeable during Need for Speed most wanted.

It doesn't really bother me, per say, but I'm just worried that its going to mess it up, but at any rate good to know it's "normal"
Normal: 70 d F
TOO HOT: 95 d F
Mine does that too. I have noticed that the case is starting to warp where the heat is most concentrated... Just to the left side by the power button. Between the power button and the camera. Almost like some glue came off and the casing is separating...

That's not good
I was using mines for google talk video chat and it got really hot. I checked the temps and it was at 91F.
Ok I did a test again and it went up to 105F. All this just by video chatting. Thats not normal!
Mines getting hot too just an hour of browsing the web and its extremely warm.

Why do you think that? It's perfectly normal for a chipset like this.
Its not just the top part thats hot like it should be. By holding it with my hands on the side you can feel the heat.

If you blast through the battery in a few hours with 3D gaming or the like the battery will get warm, too (40-50°C).
it was only like 20 minutes. I'm not saying the device getting warm isnt normal. I know that it is. However the first device i had did not get as hot as this.
The N10 is thin and very powerful so heat might be more noticeable. As long as it's "only" getting warm and not slowing down/stuttering in this state, there's nothing to worry about.
lol thats kinda the problem. the video keeps stuttering and freezing and so does the game....
everyone should be undervolting the nexus 10
this device can't even run at stock speeds for extended lengths of time without throttling due to high temperature...
it's easy to test, just run StabilityTest (search google play) and run the Classic Test... you'll eventually see your CPU throttle down from 1700MHz (mine goes down to 1400MHz every so often... i'd probably go down even more if i hadn't undervolted it)
therefore, undervolting it will help it run at stock speeds for longer
I noticed mine heating up for the first time. Don't play many games at the moment. Heated up quite a bit between camera and buttons just like others have mentioned. I was playing ingress when I first noticed. Also when I was just using browser to the ingress/Intel page. I was thinking it had to do with GPS but after reading other comments I guess CPU was working hard refreshing page.

Hello, I've got my Nexus 4 from this Monday but only yesterday I noticed that it warms up a little too much.
Today I tried a "Classic Stability Test" to see how much the CPU and the battery warms up and after 7-8 minutes... The phone was like lava! Battery was at 50,7 c° and the CPU at 84 c°!
With games like GTA Vice City I got like 46 Battery and 64 CPU, and this should be normal, right?
P.S. I live in Sardinia, 30 Degrees today...
lol well.... is running stability test part of your everyday routine, and something you require to be able to do with your phone? thats like putting a brick on your gas pedal with the car in neutral and getting a little bit worried that the engine temp is rising.
on a more serious note, 64* is fine, more than fine for every day use. games like gta will probably stress your phone as much as anything youd do on a regular basis, even nova 3. mainly because gta optimization sucks, so it still strains your cpu as much as games with better graphics. 84* is getting up there, but lg didnt add a thermal shutdown limit just for the hell of it. you havent hit it, so you havent damaged anything.

In all honesty, I have no idea what the limit is for the battery, I don't even care about this "too hot" nonsense, you should have seen the amount of threads we had on here a few months ago. I do know that 80* is pretty warm for the CPU, but still pretty far from even beginning to damage anything. The thermal shutdown for the CPU is 100*.I don't worry about battery temps, I've left my phones in my car on a hot summer day and it pretty much burned me when I picked it up.... everything was fine. Is that kind of stuff good for it? no. If someone snuck in my car, and brought it into my house and it was completely cooled before I touched it, could I notice that something was funky with my battery? hell no, any difference from any kind of battery abuse on any of my phones has been completely in-perceivable.
Brand new nexus 4 batteries on ebay are really easy to find. And cheap (all things considered). At 40$ a pop, I'll pay that a year and a half later than letting some kind of OCD drive me insane lol, To add fuel to this overheating scare everyone has, I've had my thermal throttle completely disabled since I got my phone, 6 months ago.
Electronics have ALWAYS produced heat, that's how they work. But now, having a quad core 1.5ghz processor in your pocket, that isn't even air cooled, you WILL feel the temperature. That doesn't mean anything is wrong. I dare you to open up your computer right now, flip it off, pull off the heatsink and touch the processor. You will get burned. But that's how it runs, and you never would have known if you didn't feel the heat coming through the case or touched it for yourself.
Sorry for the rant, but yeah, your good and in the clear... long ways to go before you cause damage lol
edit: looks like batteries are closer to 20$ now, they used to be around 40$
edit2: fixed some wording, I sounded a bit like a douche

im glad i dodnt have to reply to this, that someone else answered, lol! but seriously, if the phone overheats, battery or cpu, the phone will turn itself off as a safety, to cool off. anything below the safety temps isnt overheated. when things get pushed, itll heat up, thats jusy how things work. and if the surrounding air temp is warmer, the phone will heat up quicker and warmer.

dont be. there is a lot of misinformed people out there, that just dont know, that publish blogs and posts that end up scaring people for no reason. the thing with the n4 is the "being able to feel the heat", thats what freaks out many. its all because of the glass. my other devices(galaxy nexus and nexus 7) get much warmer than my n4, but you cant feel the heat because of the plastic backs.
Sorry again but this is what i obtained after 20 minutes of Vice City.
OK, Maybe it's the game bad programmed but this can't be "normal".
I've 15 days for ask for a new one, star should i do?
P.s. I just coocked the CPU of my PC like 1 year ago, it works but it got some damages. I really don't want to burn anything else

its hot, but could be normal, especially while playing cpu and gpu intensive games. i play lots on my n7, and i can reach 85C easily when gaming. so its not out of reason. the safety is 100C for cpu, when the device shuts itself down to cool off. out of curiousity, were you plugged in?

Ok, I searched the forum about this topic and didn't really find anything answering my questions. I'm currently coming from a Droid RAZR and it ran hot to say the least. I can't get a straight answer on this phone's operating temperatures and I'm trying to determine whether to put a thick case on or not(with almost no bezel, I'm paranoid it will break on first drop). From what I've read, about 60% of people aren't reporting very much heat. The other 40% say there is a huge problem and most have had to replace their phones thinking it was a defect.
When it came to my RAZR, at rest with a case on, battery temperature would sit at just under 87 F. Under heavy use, I've hit over 124 F. Without a case, 83 F, the highest I've hit is just under 117 F. Extremely significant when you can't remove the battery and swap it out. I believe that it led to it's premature failure. I want to avoid that with this phone.
Is anybody keeping track of their phone and battery temperatures?
What apps and/or widgits do you use?
What is the normal at rest temperature?
What is the heavy use temperature?
Thanks everyone. My phone gets here in a few days and I want to be ready with a case.
I don't keep track of it. However this phone does get really hot (uncomfortable to hold) when playing games. With Tpu cases this was less noticeable. But lately I installed skinomi stickers for back protector, and it always bother me when it gets hot this way.
That being said, normal uses such as Internet, music, YouTube, xda, camera.... The phone only becomes slightly warm.

I keep wondering why no one makes cases that help dissipate heat, for how hot modern phones get! If anything, most cases insulate the phone and make them get even hotter!

Admittedly, I'm not a gamer but the only times I've felt the device get hot enough to register with the Incipio Feather case were: 1) after a wipe/flash, and all my apps were downloading again from the Play Store and 2) when wiping and the device was plugged into the wall charger (CPU temp was around 100 degrees) - other than these 2 instances, I've never felt heat thru my Feather case.

Honestly i just replaced my phone due to overheating issues. It would literally shut down or restart just running the camera for too long. After reading some other reports in the forums I decided to send it in and get a replacement. My new one came in yesterday and absolutely no overheating issues. Even can run antutu without a reboot (my other G2 would reboot about 14% in). So from my experience there was a batch that had some thermal issues... I got mine the first day it came out.

I am using this case full time: http://goo.gl/0u05G5
I use Battery and CPU-Z to check battery temps. Even with over an hour of straight gaming, I have yet to see it get above 98F. I constanty run the screen at 80% brightness as well, as that can be a contributing factor. The games I have played this long with are Riptide GP and Madden 25.
You really cant feel any heat through this case, and hand temps are too subjective anyway.

and slapping a case would be good for your hand but not for your phone
plus there's not one manufacturer that make cases for heavy gaming yet..
i wonder what the case would look like if it was made for dissapating heat.. probably has a lot of thermal pipelines built in that would be awesome..

One thing I've noticed from people's screenshots is that the screen doesn't use that much battery. My RAZR would sometimes draw 46%. I'm sure that also contributed to the heat. smh.

I'm currently in the design step of a case that uses tubing to disperse heat at the top corners of the phone to cool it down and keep heat away from the hand.
If you'd like to give input shoot me a pm and we can discuss it further.
OnT: I very rarely pass 24c on mine, then again I never game on my phone either. Highest I've hit was 42c during some testing.

Are you guys talking about battery temps or cpu temps?
Get the app CpuTemp from play store, it overlays cpu temp while you're doing whatever, enable only the top two options, enable overlay and start on boot.
Then get stability test app and run the first option at top, classic test.
Then report back here with your temp after you do the stress test for about 27 seconds. I hit 66c after 27 seconds.
Curious to see what everyone else hits.

Thanks for your feedback. Would you say it was with heavy usage?
I have made the tests , and i get 72 °C after 1:20 secs running the standard test. About 35 °C in idle,and about 50-55 °C when i am using the phone for facebook,browser,youtube. Is this ok? (These are Cpu Temps).

My G2 gets also around 55°C when using the phone normally (youtube, browser, etc.) and over 67-68°C while gaming. I think this is normal for a high frequency 4 cores CPU. Right?
Hey, I received my LG G2 yesterday and i've been experiencing cpu temperatures of:
42-48C being idle
52-59C during browsing, facebook, viber etc
62-64C when on youtube (after the first 5 seconds)
65C when on gps
As for the stress test after 1:20 and up to 20:00 it was around 72-74 C
The phone feels hot all the time though with no apparent reason.
Screen brightness is set to 30% all the time, 3g connection is off and I only keep Wi-fi on. I even tried turning off features like gestures, I don't know if it is of any relevance.
Of course I haven't trying gaming yet, since I'm not really interested in it, but I want my smartphone to be functional without burning up.
Should I return it and ask for a replacement? Or is it an issue with LG G2 or Snapdragon 800 generally? Will it be a waste of time?
Hi,
I've been using G2 for the past one week. Within minutes of playing a game( `10 mins), the phone heats up a lot at the back where the camera is placed.
I dont even need to play high end games like NOVA 3. Just regular games like Candy crush, Cut the rope etc heats up my phone real bad.
It heats up so much that its impossible to touch it with your hand.
Please advice if anyone has faced this issue.
Regards

mine is not nearly hot enough that it's uncomfortable to hold. Just noticeable and a bit worrisome but no more than most devices I've had in the past.
If it gets so hot you burn your fingers then that's a big deal. But getting warm to hot is normal as far as I can tell. There are apps to check your temperatures. Install one and check the temp. Post your number here and let's see how hot it really is. In the mean time, don't hold your hand near the hottest spot while gaming.
Nearly all phones get warm while gaming, they don't really have a cooling system. As said before, measure the tempature, and see if it is truly something to worry over.
reduce brightness
Close some app that u did`t use...

It happens to all phones...including the HTC One and the GS4 lol. I've experienced it myself so don't worry about it just lower the brightness and close other apps that are in cache while playing. :silly:

Every smartphone I've owned, when gaming for a period of time...it gets HOT! No fan cooling system on phones. I had iPhones, S2, S2 skyrocket, Galaxy Note, HTC One...all gets HOT when gaming. Even my iPad2. As long as you're not getting first degree burns and the phone isn't melting, it is quite normal for it to get hot. But if you feel that something isn't right, go exchange it.
