Hi Guys, im going to buy nexus 4 and i am afraid of temp. throttling because if i over heat my battery i cant afford to replace it, there are the function i do in a smartphones. in CPU - Messages(Whats app), Emails, Calls, Browsing, Facebook. in GPU - i play games like Temple Run 2, Subway Surfer, Fruit Ninja, Major Mayham, Zombie Smash and city building games........, will i get temp. throttling for that? and i dont want to root or install kernals because since it increases the limits it will most probally kill my battery.
Dont know if I got you right but is your question if the N4 will run too hot with your kind of usage that it will break?
I highly doubt that will happen but even if, just RMA it.

From Franco kernel
Thermal throttle threshold" ->"Soglia termica di rallentamento"
"This is the celsius temperature limit of your CPU temperature before it starts to throttle do decrease heat." ->"Questa è la temperatura limite in gradi Celsius della temperature dalla tua CPU prima che inizi a rallentare per diminuire il calore"
It's usually 70 Celsius

Dont worry about heat. S4 is already hot when switched on.

It's not temperature throttling. It's CPU throttling. 70 Celsius is not that hot. It's almost the same temperature as your body. Besides, if you don't constantly play games on the phone for hours the phone won't heat up like crazy. If you stay away from high graphic games like GTA 3, modern combat and shadow gun you should be fine. I have never reached the 70 mark because my phone is always cool while gaming or watching movies on Netflix because I undervolt. CPU throttling is great because you'll get great performance with less lag. Most people install kernels because they want longer battery life and better performance.

...or it's about 50% hotter than your body (158F vs 98F)...
FWIW, I've never actually seen mine throttle, when I haven't run testing apps against it. The games I recognized in your list certainly won't overheat it. It's a great phone.
I would be very concerned if my body temperature was 70°C.
But yes the CPU throttles at 70. Not because it's overheating but to still run optimally.
The CPU will be fine even at 90-100°
But then you run the risk of overheating the nearby components

I just noticed, coming from the S3 my N2 runs relatively cool. Battery temp is 27-38 degrees celcius even when playing graphic intensive games while tormenting. While the highest cpu temp I saw was 53. Compare this with my s3 battery temp 36-48 and cpu temp 60.
How about you guys?

Absolutely. I had the note 1 and browsing the web or doing heavy use will burn the battery like blazing hot (50°C). I have yet to see my note 2 past 38°C no matter what I do.

But when I play heavy games like NFS or Asphalt 7 the upper part of the screen became hot? are you face the same issue?
secondly, can you tell me the name of application which is used to monitor the CPU temp?
thank you

Thats pretty normal since that is where the CPU/GPU is located.. Though what worries me is a LOT of heat is transmitted to the microSD.. I dont know but I believe it can significantly impact the over all life span of the microSD.

but it shows the battery temp only and doesn't show the CPU temp?
Could it be that you're using the note2 during the in the winter and the gs3 summer that the gs3 appears to run hotter?
I run the GN2 in summer here and it does appear to be warming up a bit, more then I'd like it to be (it feels warm in the hand)
my battery temp when on standby-surfing mode ranges from 32°C~36+°C and when I play games like Asphalt 7, etc. it ranges from 37°C~43°C...don't know if this is acceptable, but I feel hotness when I play games in my device...

I am getting bothered by the heat of my nexus 4 especially at the camera side..., when I play psx emulator it really gets hot and it gets hotter when it is charging... even if i am only watching or streaming the internet it gets noticeably hot, so i would like to know if this is ok or not.
what are apps that could monitor the temperature?
what is the normal temperature when gaming and idle?
I would like to know about this things so that if my unit is a lemon, i could return it to lg for the warranty.
thanks in advance.

you have a quad core device, its normal. when you stress the cpu, gaming, streaming, itll heat up. when you charge, your battery will heat up. the back o the phone is glass, so itll feel like it gets hot fast. when the device hits a certain cpu temperature, heat throttling kicks in. this will lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. when it goes over the cpu safety temperature(100C i believe), the cpu will shut down and the phone will power off. there are several apps that show the cpu and battery temperature. remember, battery temperature and cpu temperature are two completely different temperature readings.
System tuner gives you cpu temp. But you should get an app that tells you battery temp as well...

simms22 is right you can under clock it safely kernel tuner is free on play
Intel CPUs (i5, i7, etc.) can survive going over 100 degree Celsius, but the commonly quoted safe temperature limit for long term operation is 70 degree Celsius. I would assume that the same holds true for other silicon chips, and find it difficult to believe that the shut off temperature for the Nexus 4 is 100 degree Celsius - you will be getting serious burns on your fingers by then.
Wait..., I recently played a 3d game and my temperature is reaching
CPU: 67c
Battery: 50c
Is my phone a lemon or its a normal case scenario?

That is a little worrying. Are you using a case? Also what is the room temperature where you were using the phone?

Hi, i want to buy nexus 4, but i'm worried about temperature. I'll install custom kernel. Could you tell me what are the temperatures when gaming on - for example- franco kernel? How long can i play before it reaches 60 celsius? Is it overheating with franco kernel or it has stable 40-50 celsius maximum when gaming?

The N4 has thermal safeguards protecting it from damage. Realy intensive gaming shouldn`t be a problem for a certain time, if you play too long thermal throtling kicks in and you may xperience some frame drops wich is normal. The heat will build up with any kernel and any phone when you play intensive games for a longer time as the cpu is not fan cooled as in a pc.
I know. But i'm asking how long can i play ;D Because it will be disappointing when this phone will get for example 60 celsius in 1 hour when playing angry birds

This heat building will happen with any smartphone. You may better buy a Play station or Xbox for gaming and a feature phone for calls and texts (just kidding off course )
60C is normal. you will feel uncomfortable with a normal device?
I mean 60c on battery not processor.

But you've never reached 60c on nexus 4? Just asking because i've seen stability test on youtube and i was scared. 13 min of stability test and phone had 60c and shutdown.

battery temp no, cpu temp every single day when i push my device hard. when benchmarking a battery, a stress test, its supposed to get hot, thats the whole point. that isnt a real life situation.

Yes, my battery temperature is almost always at 30C or below. I played GTA Vice City once for about an hour, and the battery temperature went to as high as 40C. My phone was unplugged the whole time of course.
As for CPU temperature... It probably got to about 50C-60C when the battery was at 40C. Not sure though. Still not too hot to the touch, and not hot enough to trigger crazy thermal throttling.
Ok, played this game on MULTIPLE Androids and even iPhones. The g2 is the only one I've noticed that gets extremely hot within like 5mins of gameplay. I have a temp widget and it goes from low 90deg to 115 + within 5mins of playing the game. When it does this the phone starts to get laggy and the screen gets very jittery and touch sensitive. Possible I have a lemon or anyone else have clash of clans can confirm? ?

I haven't measured an exact temperature, nor have I experienced the lag, etc. But I have noticed that my phone gets a bit hot after having this game open for a short time. I'm guessing it's just a resource intensive game, and since the g2 has the power available, it's taking advantage of it (running at high clock speeds, etc.) causing the phone to heat up some. Sorry I'm not much help, but at least you know you're not the only one out there seeing this.
Wrong Thread.
Try it on a LG Spectrum or Note2,3 if you want to feel hot... Have then all. My G2 stays cooler.
I made a profile in SetCPU for clash of clans so it only can run at 1,5GHz max, now it's not draining the battery that much and doesn't get as hot and strangely I don't see any lag or graphics issues, it's like coc doesn't need that much resource but using it anyway.

Download SetCPU and set MHz Max to 1500.
Root access is required for the application to be functional.
i have this problem too and installed set cpu . it working well but when i switch from set cpu to any other app like whathsapp or Coc the max frequence automaticlly set to cpu max freguence . for honor it is 1300 . i tested tegra overclock . same result like set cpu . my phone is Honor 3C H30-U10 . sorry for my terrible english .
I have a Galaxy S 3 if I battle once it getting super hot n shuts off n I put a ice pack under it it worked but later found my phone cracked so ???HELP ME
Mediatek chipset based CPUs are overheating abnormally after few minutes playing coc, so i suggest not to play it if you don't want your motherboard to die! My CPU gets abt 80 Celsius playing coc 2 minutes, nothing else even heavy games not causing overheating like coc can do it
Okay, so i have a question about the GS4. What are the appropriate CPU temps for the phone while normal uses, like emailing, browsing, and gaming on %100 stock ROM and kernel? Does it get hot?

As for exynos version.
My cpu is around 40-55°C in normal usage.
While stressing cpu (continuous 100% usage) it will go as high as 90°C and then throttling.
My ambient temp is around 30°C though.
my Exynos version get hot when playing certain game, e.g plants vs zombies
when i say hot i mean it can be use for ironing your clothes.. haha
