Dear S4 users,
Can you please tell me what is the maximum temp. achieved by your Galaxy S4. I am attaching screen shot of my S4 showing temp. 54C.
I request you to attach the screenshot also.
i had submitted my phone to service center as it is getting heated a lot but they have given it back to me saying it has no problems and it is workinf normal but it is not. Tomorrow I am going there again to resubmit it but before that i will need some screenshots to show them.
Hope you upload those ASAP.
had the phone for 6 days now and max temp i've reached is 51C
temp
mine gets HOT
highest I've seen is been is about 87 maybe 88 but 86 is my highest recorded temp.
the Galaxy S 4 is definitely the most reliable in my opinion.
I reached 75°C in while gaming. I think this is how the phone was designed, otherwise Samsung would have not released it. You can take it to as many services as you want, but they can't fix something that ain't broken.
Unless it's overheating for no apparent reason (like high temperatures when it is in stand-by) then you should just leave it be.
I9506 user here. I would not worry, the phone is fine.
I got past 80 while gaming, too. It also gets hot while doing lots of websurfing, especially on cellular data. I've had the phone for a year and a half and never ran into issues because of the heating, although it does tend to get really hot in the summertime.
Edit: I just realized that this is a VERY old topic...
Anyone else having trouble with the S Health heart rate monitor?
I just can't get it to give me a reading no matter where I put my finger on the sensor.
it works fine using the SpO2 function and reports my pulse rate as somewhere in the low 30's
I'm wondering if the heart rate app rejects my pulse rate because it is too low?
I managed to get it to work when i first unboxed the phone as as I was exited it gave me a reading in the 50's but since then it just will not work
I doubt your heart rate is in the low 30s unless you are an elite athlete. Make sure you only press your finger lightly. And if you are using a case, try removing it.

My pulse is in the low 30's, I have a medical every two years and it has always been like that since I was in my twenties.
I can assure you that I have tried every possible technique I can think of for holding a finger over the sensor and none of them work when using heart rate monitor. As I said previously it works fine every time when using SpO2 so I'm confident that I am using it correctly.

hi,
My suggestion is to install a standalone 3rd party H/rate monitor from Google play. I have 2 other 3rd party H/rate monitors on my Note 4. It works 100% Same as Samsung. I did this as i like to compare my S HEALTH hart rate.. working 100%, to my 3rd party apps. in comparison to my Polar Bluetooth hart rate, i use for my running That way if i wantto quickly use app i know which one is reliable. I have compared my S HEALTH to Polar and found to be acceptable. Good luck
same issue here. My heart rate is ~50 now and it fails to detect in in 9 cases out of 10. The times when I was successful I pressed the button to measure it again without moving my hand or my finger from the sensor and it failed no idea what's wrong.

Just made an obvious discovery. All this time I was measuring it while I was comfortably sitting. I've realised that there was not enough blood flow in my fingers. As soon as I started to measure the heart rate while standing it was working all the time. Hope this is the same problem in your case
I'm having the same issue, except both the SPO2 and the heart rate sensor wont work. When I stand up and take the test, it also fails.
same issue here. both HRM app and SPO2 doesn't work properly as well (standing up or sitting down). it keeps on giving me extreme BPMs like 90+ or 100 while resting.
Yep heart rate sensor not working for me at all. Have had no reading in over 50+ tries. Sp02 works.
Really strange - do you guys have cases or anything?
My model only has heart rate and stress but they work every time.
Heart rate is incredibly accurate - I've compared it to hospital equipment as well as my Garmin chest strap - it's always spot on, regardless of sitting, standing, exercising, etc.

Same problem here too. Have tried at least 30 times

Don't push your finger on the sensor. Just press very very lightly. It works perfectly for me. My heart rate is usually 70-90 resting and thats what my other heart rate monitor also shows. I am not sure what SPO2 actually measures, but I usually get 99%-100%.
I've noticed that the heart rate monitor won't work when my heart rate drops below 50 bpm. When I'm relaxed my garmin reads 46 to 48 and the note 4 won't register a reading. If I get up and run around for a bit it works fine. With a bit of experimenting 50bpm seems to be the cut off. limitation of the sensor maybe?
Same here below 50 bpm it does nothing.
Pretty lame, it kept failing since I was lying down so I stood up and tried again, still no luck. Had to do a few jumping Jacks and it finally worked 51 bpm. Do the 3rd party apps work lower than 50 bpm?
It doesn't work under 50bpm for me too. I was thinking my sensor was bad but this thread but this thread reassures me.
The SpO2 sensor seems to be more sensible and moreover it also gives the heart rate. With it I can measure up to 42rpm.

I got it working!
I couldn't for the life of me get the heartrate monitor to work. For 2 days it told me hold still keep finger on blah blah blah. I kept trying to keep my finger 'centered' like it said but as soon as I moved my finger to the left side bam! Works like a charm every time now. Very lightly towards the left (if screen facing you). Try that.
I have the same problem. and exactly what you guys are saying. if it is under 50 then it doesn't work.
This is so stupid from Samsung because I'm afraid to show it off to Apple fan boys lol. Also the finger scanner is not reliable as my iPhone 5s

Measures O2(oxygen saturation) level in blood. Best to test it after waking up as it can show if you have sleep apnea.

this is exactly the issue. It's not designed to give readings less than 50 bpm as it views those readings as an error. Where as while using the SPO2 sensor it will give any heart rate recorded as long as the SPO2 gets a "proper" reading. Basically if you're in excellent physical condition or have a very low resting heart this version of the heart rate monitor might not be for you. Unfortunate though as I like the function of S Health
My story with HRM
It is old thread, but I become owner of Note 4 just few weeks ago. And my situation was that everyone in the house get measured heart rate, only me not?! This is why I found this thread and tried squats, standing, sitting, laying, but couldn't achieve to turn red light on. My family just put e finger, in a second equipment starts measuring?! Even my colleagues in office get measured, me.. no!
Finally, I found a way, and wanted to share this experience in case of someone else gives up from this sensor because of similar problems.
Just try other fingers!!!
For me it worked with ring finger and pinky only. No other finger activates HRM for me (I didn't try foot ) !
So funny, that I had to reply.
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a new note 4 St N910C. Just after a day of usage I felt that it is getting hot when I play games on it. I closed all the background apps even resetted it but still no luck. My phone is getting heated up near the camera area. My question is that is this a hardware issue or a software one, because if it is a hardware issue I should try and get it replaced, if a software one I should better wait for a lollipop update.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated
Thanks

It is completely normal that your phone gets hot around the camera since you are playing a game...What is the temperature you get while playing?
Would also like to know how hot your unit gets
when playing games. This is the unit that i am planning to get

Sorry for the late reply,
I installed a cpu temperature app, and it shows me that my cpu temperature is 36-38 degrees while playing games, also I noticed that after hearing up some of the games start to lag up a little. Any recommendations?

Well i bought this unit after along study of whether to get the exynos version or the snapdragon version, in my opinion I found the exynos to be better because many users suggested that this version does not heat up and works better, but now as I'm using it personally I think it heats up alot, the temperature I get is around 36-38 degrees.

uhhm. i actually thought its the SD version that heats up? well that is according to some searching i've done.
Maybe that is normal when playing games with exynos.

Galaxy Note 4 heating [camera]
I purchased Galaxy Note 4 [SM-N910G] a week back. It's on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat)
I am having a different problem for which I could not find any satisfying solution on the Internet. Whenever I open camera app, the phone starts heating up near camera & battery also drains very quickly [around 2% under 5 min.]
I know that the phone will heat up a little bit when playing high graphics games, but I don't think it should heat up too much when using camera app.
I have already factory reset [both soft & hard reset] the phone, but still it does not help. I contacted Samsung support, & they told me to 'Reset app preferences' from Application manger, but still the device heats up when using camera app.
I also cleared data of the camera app, but still the issue remains
The phone does not heat up at all on standby mode, but opening camera app raises it's temperature more than it should. Previously a Note 2 user, this problem was not there.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue on Note 4 ? Any ideas on this ?
The phone heats up only if you're recording 4k or 2k video.If you use camera generally & your device heats up.You must get your device checked

You can factory reset all day, it won't help. Thats not a problem, the camera just uses a lot of processor power and thus generates heat. You can't change that, you have to live with it
My note 4 with ****y snapdragon heat like fire
I wanna replace it because of the overheating I can't something even hold it I put is always in freezer to cold it
With cpu temp app it gave me 60c even without games the :crying:best value was 40c but when I put it in freezer it down to 30c
And the weard thing that at the same time the cpu temperature app gave me 60c the cpu cooler app gave me 34c
Weard which is right? ??
This phone is making me crazy

Sorry, but do you have any idea about CPU temperatures? 60 isn't bad. 40 isn't bad. 30 isn't bad. Even 70° and occasionally 79° would be acceptable. Don't put your phone into the freezer, ity not good to freeze the hardware.. Especially if you literally have no problem. The CPU is prone to temperature fluctuations and your values are fully normal in the world of CPUs. There is no best value, everything up to 70° is the normal temperature variation. Your phone doesn't have a problem, its perfectly fine.
Mine actually heats up while charging and using at same time. Clean master shows 70-75°C cpu temperature while using browser and stuff but 80+ while gaming, that's not normal right? I'm worried cuz I always used my old phones while charging and they never got this hot, I feel like it will melt someday :/ In what temperatures exynos operates?
I got my SM-N910F yesterday and installed LP 5.0.1 via OTA. Temperatures are 40+ when the phone isnt doing anything. While I did the Antutu Benchmark, it was around 50-52 degrees (Celsius). Feels much warmer than my previous Note 3 (which of course never had LP). And since i am not used to this temparature on my Note 3, i kinda worry about the temps right now. I read a lot that many have that problem since LP update. So whats normal and what would be too high for regular usage (not using Camera or playing Games) ? Is there an average i can go by and compare ?
And whats my alternatives now if I want lower temps , go back to 4.4.4 Stock Rom (currently have LP 5.0.1 Stock) or do I try a 5.x Custom ROM . Did the Custom ROMS fixed these heating problems or is that just something I have to live with ?
Thanks for any help.

Look 2 replied higher, already wrote something aboht that
My old G3 used to sit at 50 degrees idle!, 30 and 40 degrees is cool!!!!!!
Just do a Factory Reset (hard reset)
First backup everything & Google for detail instructions on hard reset.

Sure that makes all the difference ? I read a lot of posts from people saying that a factory reset didnt really solve their problems. Do you know for sure it will help ?

Hi there,
I'm getting worried as this Exynos CPU gets warm, really warm. Am afraid some component will get damaged, 75C-77C and raising! while streaming mp3 and playing a 2D game, I've checked with CPU-Z every time. This usage shouldn't be a problem. I was doing the same setup three years ago with a Galaxy S2 i9100 with no overheating issues (50C max), what the HELL?
What's the normal functioning temp for this processor? What's the damaging threshold for it?
SM-N910C with BOC3 Lollipop, no root, 100% stock. Really thinking of downgrading to KK now
Try latest BOE3.
I'm on BOC3 and haven't experienced any overheating.
@Kinsman-UK - I can assure you that if you use Kingdom Rush (free in the Play Store) for more than 15 minutes your temps will skyrocket. Also, if you stream music (more usual) or data at the same time by WiFi you'll get a perfectly capable toaster. I did notice the thermal changes with the Smart Cover between the phone and my fingers.
@megatooth Upgrading to BOE3 can be a possibility, but I presume it'll be the same, no real changes there. I'm charging the phone and about to do the downgrade. Fingers crossed.
If anyone wants to replicate it, please install Kingdom Rush from the Play Store (free game) and stream some music at the same time. Never had such high temperatures in my android life, ever.
EDIT: megatooth was right and I was wrong, presuming tends to be wrong. It works, kids. Updated to BOE3 and got 40C after 30 minutes of playing and streaming. If anyone has the same problem, try updating.
Hello folks I bought a galaxy s4 the screen is very hot and I'm a bit concerned with teneperstures, I checked after some browsing that the temperature was around 67 degres Celsius (not a clue in Fahrenheit's, maybe 130?) I don't really know what to do, after some gaming I literally feel burn pain in my fingers.
Any ideas ? I'm using cyanogen optimised and stable build I have the i9005 s4
Thank you very much
Well, you could underclock and undervolt. But I don't know how much that will help.
It's a common S4 problem.
I also have heating issues. Playing GTA and charging the phone at the same time makes it run very hot.
I just hope that Samsung used some good heat resistant parts..
