For some odd reason, the phone gets very hot while I am on a call. It doesn't happen all the time though. Calls are quite short (no more than 10 min).
Can anybody shed some light as to how to fix this glitch?
Cheers!
Try a different kernel and set the threshold really low. Recommend Franco. Also what's your exact temp?

thats not really hot, warm maybe, hot no. your body temp is 37C, water boils at sea level at 100C.

But is it normal for it to get to that temperature in 5 min?

yes. depending on the background temperature too, and youre keeping it insulated in your hand.. if it was the middle of winter in new york city, and you were outside talking on the phone, it wouldnt ever reach that temp. but when its warmer, it can get there fast.

That's extremely cool and normal, no worries. But I have hit CPU shutdown limit (90° C) because it was to hot. Here's a screenshot I took before it shutdown.
Edit: I was gaming while charging on 3g and this was in Illinois like a month ago so weather wasn't hot. Lol I didn't know after my fingers started burning I needed to cool this phone down

gaming while charging can do it. so can streaming a flash movie while charging. plus your battery will get very hot.
Mine was just a phone call hence why I thought it was a bit too much for 5 min. I don't usually give the phone heavy use and it normally remains pretty cool. I might just still change the kernel

I'm coming over from a thicker EVO 4G so maybe I'm just not used to it in thinner device, but when i watch a video, or do something with motion in it like a camera, the top of the device gets a good bit warmer then the rest of it, at about the level of the volume keys. It's not instant, but it takes a minute or two to happen.
Has anyone experienced this? / Do ya think it's normal for a thinner device?
I've noticed it on Stock as well as a custom ROM.
Known issue. There's other threads about it. Glass conducts heat more than plastic, among other things. Check out the other thread, probably in general.

Not after undervolting
having own a Gnex and now a N4, this thing barely gets warm... the Gnex was VERY HOT, to the point sometimes at lunch i had to turn the AC, put it on MAX, set the phone against it without the battery cover for about 2-3 minutes, to cool it off..
the N4 has never got hot on me
OP, check if you have a "Slow" binned CPU. Those have higher stock voltages and therefore get hotter faster

Hello,
is it normal that my Nexus 4 hits 50° Celsius (thats 122° Fahrenheit)?
I was just playing that 10 fast fingers app and it seemed like a light app so I was pretty surprised how hot it got and downloaded a temperature widget...
Any opinions? Did your device get so hot? Should I ask for a replacement?
Sounds fine to me? The glass doesn't block heat transference, so people really notice it a lot on this device. When you get above 65°C is when I'd start to worry.

would have surely gotten some blisters if I kept my hands on it guess its normal but a bit of a crazy standard as the phone was only running a very simple app (nothing 3d or anything only checking typing speed)
maybe anyone else has something to say about this? i'd like a second opinion if possible
Was the temp on the CPU or the battery?

The CPU creates the heat and much of it is transferred to the battery. One theory is that these phones throttle so quickly to prolong the life of the battery. I think they shut off at 70°
Are you on stock kernel? Try franco, he addressed this issue in his code. If you search his thread you will find useful info.
50 is fine. Desktop and laptops can often run up to 90 degrees Celsius. Also, you can't get blister from something that's 50 degrees.

While charging and streaming TuneIn radio app through Bluetooth speaker. It's pretty hot though..
Here's mine, ambient temp is 28c. Not charging only TuneIn Radio dreaming on data.
46 degree c now. It's not that bad considering it was 64 earlier when charging and I live in Singapore

That is nothing, my GS2 would get to 80c.
It's the battery I worry about as 25c is peak operation 40c it's already lost half of its life before recharge. The batteries get hot during charge though isn't probably a bad thing because it increases capacity.

This is what i am worried about too. Since the battery are not removable. Hopefully the heat won't cause any damage to the battery. :fingers-crossed:

Batteries are made to withstand much hotter than 40c If it wasn't the case, batteries would just die in ambient temp in some summer countries

It wont do damage to the battery as long as the battery doesn't go over 60c. It just means it'll discharge quicker and you'll have to put it through another cycle. Modern phones have like 2 years of cycles in them in you charge each day before until the life starts to become noticeable that it dropping off. I think I saw something where they're at about 80% after a year of charging per day. At the same time not using the battery is bad for it too..
So tbh I wouldn't worry about it as contracts last 2 years.

Yeh but they discharge quicker as they become hot, usually the battery doesn't get hot on a summers day unless you leave it out in the sun. That is why they die so quickly under heavy use because they get really hot.
I've seen my battery hit 47 degrees. I asked HTC tech support about this. The guy clearly had no idea but went away and asked someone and came back with the answer that, so long as it's below 55, you should be okay. I hope he's right.

get kernel tuner and look at the "battery temperature". Some apps like GSAM takes the processor temperature and not the battery temp.
Or also dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to the battery statistics page. You should see there your real battery temperature. It's kinda strange about you guys reaching 40c on battery temperature as I live in a tropical country and this month is peak of summer season. And I only get like 27c on my battery temperature right now with regular use.

This is the most puzzling issue for me so far
I fully agree with @Terrorantula the problem is at hot temps it consumes battery quicker
i was using my uncle's unit for a while and i reported it doesnt get hot easily, my own unit is different though, its around 40C all the time during ordinary use as well
im worried about both drain and throttling in gaming
now i have a like an OCD about the previous unit
definitly we need to look into this, the funny part my own unit is supposed to consume less since its PVS3 vs PVS2, im even thinking we got it all wrong about PVS maybe the lower PVS is the better one?
How is the temperature while playing heavy games like DH4
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
I get 40-41 on DH4. Maybe a few moments hit 42.
Right now, I'm charging my phone and using some low-demand apps and I'm sitting at 38. I believe it usually sits a little lower than that.

DH4?
Dungeon Hunter 4. It's a decent looking game, so I imagine it pushes the phone fairly hard. I've come across times when it has noticeably slowed down. But that may be due more to lack of optimizations for the S600.
It's a gameloft game though, so you know they will try to screw you for money. And that is definitely the case with this game. Really good game, but you gotta be patient.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I get high temps very often, I guess this is the cost of the premium aluminum build.
I'd think the aluminum build would help keep temps lower as it transfers heat more easily. I'm guessing the S600 and the battery combination are the cooker in this one.
...how the hell does Samsung get away with it's faster clocked s600?

Yes the phone does get hot sometimes especially after 10-15 mins of continuously browsing the web on 3G+ or 3G and after 15-20 mins on wifi.. But that's for stock 4.2.2 and 4.3. After undervolting and underclocking the device using custom kernels and ROMs the phone does not get very hot.. It's between 37-40 even after playing games like nova 3 and nfs mw for an hour if you hold the phone with your bare hands and it obviously depends on your configuration.

Thin glassy phone + powerfull cpu = heat Nothing to worry about.
It gets hot, at least on stock firmware, although my definition of hot might be more sensitive than others. I don't know what it would be like talking on the phone for an hour with it getting hot next to your face, although I haven't done that. I have to use custom rom and underclock the cpu a bit, so it's not an really issue anymore. I probably will get flamed for this, but I don't recommend this device to you if you don't like phones getting hot. But I guess lots of these newer flagship phones that has thin plastic casing probably gets hot too.
With normal usage the phone doesn't get too hot or anything. If you are fond of overclocking and disabling thermal throttle you will get pretty high temperature's. Around 70 degrees celcius.
It get's hot as any other phone but because it has got a glass back you feel the heat better.

It didn't feel warm at all after undervolting and limiting heat using Trickster Mod (and has been yundervolted for the past 3 months).
Before that it could sometimes get really hot though.

Is your phone undervolted and temprature limited?
My temprature never goes over 40 degrees celsius, and feels rather cold most of the time.
Even with rather intensive games like NFS Most Wanted
This phone will not burn you. There isn't a real reason to consider the heat a problem. The temperature of the phone is regulated by the kernel, if it gets too hot the kernel takes measures to reduce the amount of heat being produced. This is a non issue.
Mine was getting warm from the start. Thought it was lack of SIM, put that in and made some adjustments and its getting pretty darn hot... Am I alone on this?
When I first got it and put it on the fast charger and was playing with it. I noticed same thing it felt really warm even after i had it off the charger, but today I have not experienced the same. I have been using it pretty regularly but have not had it on the charger or played any games (at work) so I will report back once I do

Good to know I'm not alone. Good thing I got this at BB. If it's just a small percentage maybe I can just swap it out. It feels about 100 degrees + right now. So I'm using my tablet. I don't want to unlock bootloader until I know for sure.

I always wondered why my ear glowed the the dark after using my phone.
@Fantach read up on SARS levels on phones. It also makes the area of the body warm.
I plugged mine in with the Turbo charger when I got it (was at 43%) and did all the downloading and updating apps. It felt pretty hot, so I checked it with Gsam battery and it was 118 degrees. That's hotter than my M9 gets doing the same thing, but the M9 stays hot longer.
After it reached 100% (which was pretty fast), it cooled down pretty quick... It also didn't take too long to get back down to 70% (maybe 3 hours). Standby time is pretty good, but SOT seems to drain the battery pretty quick. But this is a new phone (basically a new ROM flash) and will settle in a few days and I expect to see better battery stats.

Heat is 100% fine. And Motorola Nexus 6 was a lot lower than iPhone.... Like myself and 2 other guys said. It's like the phone adjusts. It gets very hot AT FIRST, then it drastically cools down. Did an Antutu and it didn't even heat up. I swear, heat isn't an issue.

Thank you for your clarification, i feel much better now :victory:
Mine got hot today as well. It was downloading my apps. A little more past 100 apps from the Play Store. It's not a constant issue since I have been using the MXP
I've had this phone for 3 days and it has not calmed down. Still gets hot and this screen destroys battery time. It has nice standby but when the screen is a battery hog. The temps get high with any real usage. My Nexus 6 has been much better with temps and battery. Wondering if it's a bad faulty batch or if this is the processor/screen.
It's a shame because this phone is a dream besides all that. But I am suspect to keeping this with the overheat and battery drain.
