What temperature can nexus 4 handle? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Mine idles at 55 degree Celsius and throttles at 60 so there isn't much room to go. I can increase the throttle temp but was wondering if that's safe and how much heat can nexus 4 handle

The CPU will run fine up to 100°C at which point the phone will shut down to prevent damage.
The battery will run fine up to 60°C at which point the phone will shut down to prevent damage.
The CPU will throttle default at 60°C which to me is a little low.
The battery will run fine up to 48°C at which point it will report it's status as overheated and throttle.
I have my CPU throttle at 75 and have been fine for months. I would advise not raising the bar too high because I'd say you up it to 90. All that you will accomplish is raising the battery temp quicker and thus still end up throttling.
The battery temp is generally the heat that you feel coming through the phone. So by making the battery heat up quicker by upping the CPU throttle threshold. Your device will become hotter to the touch quicker.
There is a balance between the 2 which I feel Google got wrong by setting the CPU threshold at 60. I would advise 70-75 but that Is purely my preference.

So the phone will run fun until battery is 48 or 60? I think 48, 60 seems too hot

It will throttle at 48. It will shut down at 60

Overclockin

So what is a safe temp for the battery to be running when you overclock the x. I think I red somewhere that the battery can handle up to 65 degrees c. Also does the x have the cpu temp monitoring probe? I thought I heard that the x doesn't?

Highest mines been was 104° Farenheit while overclocking to 1.45... Usually its around 89° F

Wow ok so temps that high are acceptable? I was a little worried when mine was running around the low 40's. Seems that the battery door gets pretty warm around that temp.

What are you using to overclock? Normal operation on my x without being overclocked, under load of course like streaming music and video, I see temps around 38 celsius.

Acceptable?? Sort of. Just because the phone CAN run at that high of a temperature does not mean it should be run for extended periods of time. Excessive heat is bad for any type of electronics. If you are OC'ing to the max, I would try lowering it a bit to see if it works good and the phone does not heat up so much.
They go into cool down mode at 140

Overheat

I can't hold it its too hot srsly last version was better now it worse 39.0°

Typo? 39 degrees is only just above body temp?

? Dude you have problems lol my battery gets to be around 45c and CPU much higher.
Not even hot. Get a case.

You must be looking at the battery temperature.
Use system tuner or something to check the actual CPU temp.
If it's hot when phone is supposed to be idling or doing simple tasks you must have a run away app or something causing it.
Also check you haven't left the governor set to performance or anything like that.

[Q] Nexus 7 getting too hot

Hey
I bought my nexus 7 about three days ago and I think I have an issue.
When browsing the internet or watching a movies my nexus can reach 35c and when playing tegra 3/Gameloft games it reaches 39-40c is it normal? Happens to all?
It's little annoying and I can't enjoy these games....
Any ways to solve this problem?
What are you talking about, thats waay to low, my OC-ed nexus 7 can reach upto 70c and about 69c should be the top limit, 50c is usual temp, or atleast it should be when browsing

What the hell? 70 celsius ? you can cook with your NEXUS 7 LOL
How you deal with it?
well you know, undervolt for about -100mv, which is pretty stable, if necessary lower my oc to 1.5 ghz and it never crosses 63-64
sorry if i offend you with this question, but is it possible that you were looking at your battery temp, not cpu?
because usually those temps are from the battery, it seems just too low for almost a high end device (atleast it was)

Yes I mean battery temp
minecraft
I have had the same issues with the heat on my device. I notice it gets pretty warm quick right where the rear camera is and also the glass gets pretty hot too. I been playing minecraft and it heats up quick, I checked the battery temp with an app and it reached to 31C. This was from playing for about 15 minutes. Browsing the net or watching youtube doesn't have much effect but watching a video with the browser did make the device pretty warm. I gotta admit when playing games its pretty uncomfortable.
Even 40c isn't that hot for an electronic device. I remember my old Galaxy S 4G used to get a battery temperature of 52+ while charging and playing guns n glory in a non air conditioned guard house. Every so often I'd stick it in our mini fridge for a few mins to cool it down.
I would've loved to see how hot that poor processor got, but battery temp was the only one you could check on that device.

Nexus 4 is way too hot

Hello
It seems to me that the temperature of my nexus 4 is way too hot.
80 ° C + as CPU temperature and over 45°C on Batterytemp is not normal right?
I have also tried different kernels and also re-flashed the whole System different times but no change.
What to do now?
Apps that ran when it was so hot:
-GMD Autohide Softkeys
-Google Chrome
-Facebook Messenger
Nexus 4 Stock 4.4.2 rooted
If its staying permanently at them temperatures then that's not good.
The phone should shut down when it gets to 50°c.
Using the phone whilst charging will increase the temp significantly.
Most kernels have thermal throttling which will reduce the CPU usage to help bring the temp down when it reaches a certain temp and increase as the temp rises.
If its always hitting them temperatures whilst in use it's a problem. If its only occasional then that probably normal.

Mine usually sits between 27°c and 37°c if that helps.

Phone overheating issue

My G2 tends to get worryfyingly warm when im using a bit more cpu intensive tasks. The cpu managed to get to 67°C when playing 3 races in NFS Most Wanted and managed to get 76° when doing Antutu benchmarks twice and it started throttling. And battery temp stayed around 40~45°. Idk, if this is supposed to be normal(please bear in mind my previous phone was HTC Evo 3D, which barely got hot ). When idling, the phone is just a bit warm. I'm running OptimusRs Pro V4.1 Stock kernel. Is this supposed to be normal for quad core phones or should I get it to service?

Oh, and when phone is idle, the cpu is 42°C and battery is 32°

This is normal the g2 is a very powerful phone without a fan eventually phones will have to have small fans and phones may be noisier than today's phones

I know that, but it tends to get hot very fast, a couple of minutes heavy tasking and its already throttling

Is it really normal? I mean after 10 mins of browsing even the screen gets really hot..
see if you can check your kernel's cpu profile settings. could be that it's not allowing the cpu to idle when it should be. alot of times there are various profiles you can set it to 'on demand/powersaver/ect...' and this will change the behavior of the cpu's throttling.
Well now we're in the summer and the phone will naturally get hotter since the only thing that cools it down is the environment. If you're browsing under hot sunlight with 100 percent brightness then yes, it is going to get really hot.

its not normal bro. i have the same issue on all aosp roms and cloudyflex roms. my phone becomes really hot. if you give a shot at cloudystock 2.2, your phone wont heat up at all. try it out and be sure to make a nandroid before. just incase if you change ur mind and want to get back to this rom. i wouldnt recommend it though, anthing above 25*C for the battery is bad for its health since its a lithium battery.while the cpu heating up to 70*C is fine i actually use custom throttling to reduce my phone heating that much, i keep the throttling at 60*C
No it gets hot even at 60 percent brigthness while browsing. NFC, BT, 3G are off, i am using only 2 widgets, The top of the phone gets really hot... my sis has S3 and it never ever gets that hot, so do my old Huawei phone..
