Strange heating. - Nexus 7 (2013) General

I noticed that my nexus 7 is hitting 37c really fast and around the camera front and back. Is anyone have the same problem?
And I'm doubting that it's the torrent downloader with the stupid name.

37C isn't all that hot for hardware. It's rated for twice that

37ºC is stone cold for hardware.
I wouldn't even bother unless it's going over 70ºC alot since in the long run it will diminish the hardware life.
Besides, I doubt a stock N7 will hit those temperatures even during heavy gaming unless you're living on a very hot place by default.
So, don't worry.

How hot does your device gets?

I have been asking this in few threads lately and no one yet to answer. I installed system tuner to check the cpu temperatures and seems to be a little high compare to other devices that I owned. With regular use the temps seems to be around 45-50C and with heavy use and gaming it would go up to 60C. The device also feels a little warm around the camera area. I would appreciate if someone could check their temps. Thanks.

I have not really noticed any heat just yet

Those temperatures are very normal... The phone feels so hot because the back is glass.

Could you check the temps with system tuner by chance? Curious to know what are your readings. Thanks

108F is about 42C, which is not hot at all. Mine gets over that while texting.

Haven't measured, but mine gets SUPER hot sometimes. Usually when playing games, or like last night, I was on skype for ~4 hours. It get's hot, but I would expect it or any device to get hot when doing that type of stuff.

I don't own one but those temps are right in line with the average desktop pc. I think once temps hit about 65-70C under heavy load, then there is reason for concern.

So far no hotter than my galaxy s got.

Yeah...my Captivate gets just as warm to the touch (or warmer) with its aluminum back.

Mine got up to something like 42 degrees C yesterday while browsing. Got the temperature readout using Cool Tool. Heat was mainly around the top / camera area where I assume the antenna is.
38° C max and that's when i m charging and using the phone.

Are you sure that is not the battery temp? It just sounds very low!

42 is not hot. Its warm. To qualify as hit it has to reach at least 50.

I'm starting to wonder if my N4 is defective since I haven't had any real heat issues. It gets a little warm but no more than my GNex did and nowhere near as hot as my Sensation was.
I had it in my pocket today and it was hot I felt the heat on my flesh I pulled it out it was hoooot idk why will get hot on idle

Something must be terribly wrong. I notice it gets warm slightly when playing around with custom kernels or gaming but not to the level where it is uncomfortable to hold. If you are on stock rom then you should contact google.
I think its because of the radio.. Hot when it isn't on airplane mode. Fine when its off

That kind of heat is an issue. RMA that pronto.
Download system tuner and see what the temperature is when its " too hot"
Mine gots rrally hot when running Angry Birds Star Wars. What about you guys?
I've had two N4's and neither one ever even got warm. At least not noticeable in hand. Even with extended gaming. Agree on the RMA.

Nexus 4 running hot

Hey guys i have a little problem here, i flashed a few roms over the months and now i flash pacman then my phone starts to run hot then later the same day i flash aokp and it still runs hot.
I don't even have to be doing anything heavy very litght stuff like listening to music or even having the screen on will make my phone run up to 40c or 105f, this has never happened in the past because in the past my phone mostly ran below 31c.

thats not hot. human body temp is 37C, 98.6F. is it warmer around you now then it was before?
It may be caused by the weather. Summer is coming if you live in the northern hemisphere.
I have only experienced the Nexus getting extremely hot when playing certain games that try to establish a constant connection to facebook.
Other than that no heat issues.

I live in Illinois not to far from Chicago and it just hit 90 degrees F a few days ago so its a possibility. But still on these cool nights it gets hot just this morning my phone was at 26c and after sending this message its already past 32c.
Another question is what temps are yall getting after light use with your phones?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If I browse on websites for too long on my N4, it gets hot in the upper left corner of the phone. I'm in Canada and it's not exactly hot here.
In in the UK. Sat outside with light usage and running at 28°C.
Indoors is normal for me to see 32-40° with screen on.
Unless gaming I wouldnt be concerned with battery temps below 45°

K thx yall, thx for the feedback too. I guess this is kinda normal, well i hope its normal.
By the way which is the hottest any of you seen a nexus 4 get without shutting down or burning up?

Nexus 4 4.3 not charging when overheated

As the title says. It stops charging.
If I press *#*#4636#*#* it shows ac connected but not charging.
This started on 4.3. Never saw this on 4.2.2

It's probably a safety net feature. To avoid complete meltdown. Charging heats up the phone too.

Yes it might be but it is really weird cause when it stops charging, it doesn't resume once the phone has cooled down. You have to unplug and replug.
Which isn't very helpful.
Btw totally stock.

That's happened to me when play in summer and just use the fan. Checking the cpu temp shouldn't clock past 50 degrees or it gets pretty bad. I usually just place it in the fan, then on the air conditioner for a minute or two and usually keep the cpu status app open to watch the drop in temperature. Atleast Nexus keeps this safety throttle, S4 would probably give you a nice bacon house.

I think is not CUP related but battery related. I am trying to upload 2 pics but for some reason upload is not working.

Well if the cpu heats up so will the battery both are working hand in hand. It's like your engine is hot and so will your spark plug be. For the safety of the parts and since lithium ion batteries are dangerous when overheated, it's a safety net.

For someone who's Russian. Your English is impressive I couldn't understand much from the screenshot but I am curious, people say the guru app is useless since it's placebo effect

Haha. Thanks I am Greek not Russian
The two screenshots just show how the one in the higher temp is still charging and a few minutes later it stopped and the other one with the low temp says that battery is overheated, AC connected but not charging.
The guru app I think it helps a bit as about 5%, but no more than that.

Increased heat with JWR66Y

I've been noticing it on my phone. Anyone else?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
stop using your phone and it wont get hot. heat is normal when you use it. there are too many factors that contribute to how hot the phone gets, including the weather around you.
Also.. 1000000% sure that its in your head.

Actually i don't find it any different from JWR66V in daily usage ! so heat is as it was !

you dont have an issue with heat on your gnex. first off, the safety temp for the gnex is much higher. cpu temps in the 70-80C range is normal for a gnex, and its safety shutdown temp is 110C. i really doubt that you are seeing temps around there.
