[Q] Sprint LS980 Heat issue - anyone else? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Noticed that my G2 was getting pretty warm this morning while web browsing. After that I ran Antutu and it was really warm. Just to see how warm it was getting it installed System Tuner and left it open while running Antutu again. As soon as it was finished I kicked over into System Tuner to find under CPU the temp was 168.8F. Playing Angry Birds SW it's in the mid 140s, browsing was 120ish. That seems abnormally hot to me. It's at 109.4F right now with only ST open, nothing else and it's been sitting off for 20 minutes. Thinking about returning it for a replacement.
G2 is completely stock, not rooted, very few apps installed. Only syncing is gmail, contacts, chrome & app data. Wifi on and connected, strong tower signal. No case on the phone.
I've read through a few threads in various places discussing the G2 getting hot but I've yet to see anyone post temps like this. I do realize that Antutu is a tool and doesn't reflect everyday real world use, but it's hitting high temperature in games too.
Thoughts, opinions?
Edit: Ran Antutu again and checked battery temp with cpu z, was at 102.7

Updated with a couple pics

way too hot, you probably have a process stuck in the background. did it go away after a reboot?

I've rebooted several times through the day and it hasn't made a difference. Went up to 131F just now running Tapatalk. I haven't found anything stuck in the background either. This thing heats up just browsing.

I've noticed my G2 feeling warm also. After Web browsing for a few minutes, the CPU temp is 120 according to System Tuner. It was warmer earlier today, but didn't have a chance to check the temp.

Overheating Bug? (Charging Paused)

hey guys, was doing some wifi syncing, went for a shower, came back, screen was off but the battery was at 1% hehe, i plugged the charger in and this is what came up:

strange right? i then unplugged the charger and put it back in, it was back to normal..
but heres the temps... temps are legit, the phone was cool to the touch (and i know what warm is! )
...
I've had this issue too. The other day my phone was at 52degrees whilst charging.
Someone suggested the cases may be to blame. I use a gel skin but have sent for the official case.

yeah, but the temperatures are cooler than normal? :S, it NEVER hits below 29.0C ...
Today is a hot day, and my phone is at 32 degrees whatsapping online for 20 minutes. But playing games it jumps to 40-45, really painful to receive a call after that. I hope they can lower the CPU speed when it gets hot, that way it won't create as much heat or something. I don't know.
I am having this same issue on my Galaxy Tab

Painful as in burning your ears or any other issues we should be aware of ? We should issue a warning: "Don't play games when you expect a call" or get yourself a personalized voicemail message: Hi, i'm playing games on my phone right now and my battery temp is >50C, there's no way in hell i will reply to any call
argh, i gotten this popup too when i tried to charge my phone. wasn't doing anything with the phone!
@OP Sorry, out of topic question. What is the widget that monitor your cpu speed+ temperature?
Setcpu I believe.

just wanted to post about my battery experience. im at 60% battery now and its been on battery power for 14-1/2 hours. ive been out on shoot today and been answering emails and sms all day on my phone, checking facebook and instagram occasionally. i even used wifi hotspot to write a couple long emails. i took some video and photos too. on my old Desire HD or sensation it would not have lasted a long days work. the battery life on this phone is a major plus for me.

[Q] Is this normal battery drain?

Ok guys, I keep hearing people ranting and raving about this phone's battery, however I feel that mine is either faulty or everyone else is exaggerating. On a typical day, of normal usage, heavy web browsing, occasional 10 minute game session, I can get about 4 hours screen on time, and about 14 hours total time before it's dead and I need to charge. I have minimal wake-locks now that I've figured the majority of them out, and keep location services on device sensor only. My device is deep sleeping more than being awake, and will last quite a while while asleep, battery doesn't seem to abnormally drain while asleep. Every time I've been able to track it down to a wake-lock issue if it has.
It's draining very fast (it seems) while screen is on though. Wifi calling is almost always on the majority of the time.
Any ideas? Is this way off? Or is this the norm?
I've done the usual factory restores and all that, and still no improvement.
Thanks!
Example:
Are you using a custom kernel? You could try dorimanx's and heavily skew the CPU towards a lighter load
I used to get 4h on screen time for quite a while, but k realised that it was cos of 4G @ and the way I used my phone. If you read a lot and hardly launch or close anything the battery life gets better very quickly

That seems about right.
On stock I get between 4 and 6 hours screen time and about 24 hours on battery. Being on WiFi rather than 3g helps a lot and turning down the screen brightness.

S7 Edge Overheat?

Hi everyone, just received my galaxy s7 edge yesterday. I have noticed that the phone gets warm easily when I use it for around 10-15min or so, and today when I charged it the entire phone was warm to the touch so I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and whether or not I should consider returning this unit.
Thank you.
Yep, my TMOBILE Edge gets warm, especially when charging using the fast charger. Perfectly normal.
Gets wars as well
My Verizon s7 edge gets warm to the touch after using it for 10, 15 min as well. I remember I had similar issue with s4. I've been with iPhone 6/6s for last two years and those almost never get warm to the touch. I wonder if it's theasier issue with Qualcomm 820.
While I understand it's normal for it to get warm when on the charger, it's still disconcerting how quickly it gets warm during use. Playing Crashlands really sends the temperature up.

My phone is constantly hovering between being warm to the touch and then cool to the touch. Definitely hasn't got hot from normal use, just VR use.
My phones always cool even on fast charge/fast wireless charge. Eyxnos model
it only gets warm on benchmark tests other then that it stays pretty cool
Here are my temps. Battery temp is sitting at 106.5 Fahrenheit after about 15 minutes of use on a streaming app.

Mine was getting warm and blowing through the battery very fast until I did a factory reset. Maybe try that?
Also I disabled quick charging. I'll only enable it when I need it.

I had the mediascanner heat my phone up a few times. I reset the phone and it went away
Only time it gets warm is when using vr headset. Notice warm.. not hot. Exynos
Is exynos or sd820 known to run hotter? I had an sd and it never got hot, only when fast charging

Few minutes later, As I'm typing this, this is how it's running:
These are taken in normal room temperature. Im curious what temperatures you all are running at? and what you guys feel is "normal"?
It doesn't really ever run below 40c currently and I'm not sure if these temps are healthy behavior. 50c in my hands doesn't exactly feel "comfortable"...

This should fix your problem if you are rooted

I was rooted, but am now back to stock to see if it would solve this heat...

I'm rooted, installed xposed , flashed the fixes and debloater and have both greenify and amplify running, running way better than it ever did stock...mine was buggy out of the box but now it's pretty dang smooth here's the whole guide of you haven't already been this far http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...sed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246#post67605246
I'm stock and never rooted. I can say that this phone gets way too hot. Doesn't seem normal at all.
So exchanged my regular S7 for an Edge, and it's thermals are way better. Running around 34c. May have just been poor thermal pad contact...

Well it's a larger phone with more surface area. Maybe that's why?
