[Q] Galaxy S4 CPU Temp - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so i have a question about the GS4. What are the appropriate CPU temps for the phone while normal uses, like emailing, browsing, and gaming on %100 stock ROM and kernel? Does it get hot?

As for exynos version.
My cpu is around 40-55°C in normal usage.
While stressing cpu (continuous 100% usage) it will go as high as 90°C and then throttling.
My ambient temp is around 30°C though.

my Exynos version get hot when playing certain game, e.g plants vs zombies
when i say hot i mean it can be use for ironing your clothes.. haha

Note 2 Battery/CPU Temperature

I just noticed, coming from the S3 my N2 runs relatively cool. Battery temp is 27-38 degrees celcius even when playing graphic intensive games while tormenting. While the highest cpu temp I saw was 53. Compare this with my s3 battery temp 36-48 and cpu temp 60.
How about you guys?

Always cold and with full battery.
Our cpu made better than in S3. We can handle 1.8Ghz overclock with out any heating problems.

Absolutely. I had the note 1 and browsing the web or doing heavy use will burn the battery like blazing hot (50°C). I have yet to see my note 2 past 38°C no matter what I do.

But when I play heavy games like NFS or Asphalt 7 the upper part of the screen became hot? are you face the same issue?
secondly, can you tell me the name of application which is used to monitor the CPU temp?
thank you

Thats pretty normal since that is where the CPU/GPU is located.. Though what worries me is a LOT of heat is transmitted to the microSD.. I dont know but I believe it can significantly impact the over all life span of the microSD.

but it shows the battery temp only and doesn't show the CPU temp?
Could it be that you're using the note2 during the in the winter and the gs3 summer that the gs3 appears to run hotter?
I run the GN2 in summer here and it does appear to be warming up a bit, more then I'd like it to be (it feels warm in the hand)
my battery temp when on standby-surfing mode ranges from 32°C~36+°C and when I play games like Asphalt 7, etc. it ranges from 37°C~43°C...don't know if this is acceptable, but I feel hotness when I play games in my device...

[Q] Nexus 4 heat problem

I am getting bothered by the heat of my nexus 4 especially at the camera side..., when I play psx emulator it really gets hot and it gets hotter when it is charging... even if i am only watching or streaming the internet it gets noticeably hot, so i would like to know if this is ok or not.
what are apps that could monitor the temperature?
what is the normal temperature when gaming and idle?
I would like to know about this things so that if my unit is a lemon, i could return it to lg for the warranty.
thanks in advance.

you have a quad core device, its normal. when you stress the cpu, gaming, streaming, itll heat up. when you charge, your battery will heat up. the back o the phone is glass, so itll feel like it gets hot fast. when the device hits a certain cpu temperature, heat throttling kicks in. this will lower your cpu speed and cool down your device. when it goes over the cpu safety temperature(100C i believe), the cpu will shut down and the phone will power off. there are several apps that show the cpu and battery temperature. remember, battery temperature and cpu temperature are two completely different temperature readings.
System tuner gives you cpu temp. But you should get an app that tells you battery temp as well...

simms22 is right you can under clock it safely kernel tuner is free on play
Intel CPUs (i5, i7, etc.) can survive going over 100 degree Celsius, but the commonly quoted safe temperature limit for long term operation is 70 degree Celsius. I would assume that the same holds true for other silicon chips, and find it difficult to believe that the shut off temperature for the Nexus 4 is 100 degree Celsius - you will be getting serious burns on your fingers by then.
Wait..., I recently played a 3d game and my temperature is reaching
CPU: 67c
Battery: 50c
Is my phone a lemon or its a normal case scenario?
Hi all,
For "hardcore user" there is a thread with a solution to limit the heating :

That is a little worrying. Are you using a case? Also what is the room temperature where you were using the phone?

Nexus 4 temperature

Hi, i want to buy nexus 4, but i'm worried about temperature. I'll install custom kernel. Could you tell me what are the temperatures when gaming on - for example- franco kernel? How long can i play before it reaches 60 celsius? Is it overheating with franco kernel or it has stable 40-50 celsius maximum when gaming?

The N4 has thermal safeguards protecting it from damage. Realy intensive gaming shouldn`t be a problem for a certain time, if you play too long thermal throtling kicks in and you may xperience some frame drops wich is normal. The heat will build up with any kernel and any phone when you play intensive games for a longer time as the cpu is not fan cooled as in a pc.
I know. But i'm asking how long can i play ;D Because it will be disappointing when this phone will get for example 60 celsius in 1 hour when playing angry birds

This heat building will happen with any smartphone. You may better buy a Play station or Xbox for gaming and a feature phone for calls and texts (just kidding off course )
60C is normal. you will feel uncomfortable with a normal device?
I mean 60c on battery not processor.

But you've never reached 60c on nexus 4? Just asking because i've seen stability test on youtube and i was scared. 13 min of stability test and phone had 60c and shutdown.

battery temp no, cpu temp every single day when i push my device hard. when benchmarking a battery, a stress test, its supposed to get hot, thats the whole point. that isnt a real life situation.

Yes, my battery temperature is almost always at 30C or below. I played GTA Vice City once for about an hour, and the battery temperature went to as high as 40C. My phone was unplugged the whole time of course.
As for CPU temperature... It probably got to about 50C-60C when the battery was at 40C. Not sure though. Still not too hot to the touch, and not hot enough to trigger crazy thermal throttling.

[Q] When does Nexus 4 Throttling Occurs?

Hi Guys, im going to buy nexus 4 and i am afraid of temp. throttling because if i over heat my battery i cant afford to replace it, there are the function i do in a smartphones. in CPU - Messages(Whats app), Emails, Calls, Browsing, Facebook. in GPU - i play games like Temple Run 2, Subway Surfer, Fruit Ninja, Major Mayham, Zombie Smash and city building games........, will i get temp. throttling for that? and i dont want to root or install kernals because since it increases the limits it will most probally kill my battery.
Dont know if I got you right but is your question if the N4 will run too hot with your kind of usage that it will break?
I highly doubt that will happen but even if, just RMA it.

From Franco kernel
Thermal throttle threshold" ->"Soglia termica di rallentamento"
"This is the celsius temperature limit of your CPU temperature before it starts to throttle do decrease heat." ->"Questa è la temperatura limite in gradi Celsius della temperature dalla tua CPU prima che inizi a rallentare per diminuire il calore"
It's usually 70 Celsius

Dont worry about heat. S4 is already hot when switched on.

It's not temperature throttling. It's CPU throttling. 70 Celsius is not that hot. It's almost the same temperature as your body. Besides, if you don't constantly play games on the phone for hours the phone won't heat up like crazy. If you stay away from high graphic games like GTA 3, modern combat and shadow gun you should be fine. I have never reached the 70 mark because my phone is always cool while gaming or watching movies on Netflix because I undervolt. CPU throttling is great because you'll get great performance with less lag. Most people install kernels because they want longer battery life and better performance.

...or it's about 50% hotter than your body (158F vs 98F)...
FWIW, I've never actually seen mine throttle, when I haven't run testing apps against it. The games I recognized in your list certainly won't overheat it. It's a great phone.
I would be very concerned if my body temperature was 70°C.
But yes the CPU throttles at 70. Not because it's overheating but to still run optimally.
The CPU will be fine even at 90-100°
But then you run the risk of overheating the nearby components

[Q] Mahdi ROM: Temperature during intensive tasks!

Hi.
Question for Mahdi ROM users on the LG G2:
Coming from this thread, I'd like to know how Mahdi ROM's temperature is when you do intensive tasks, like playing games, running benchmarks etc. Does the device get hot? If possible, tell the temperature, what you were running, for how long, did the screen remain on etc.
Thanks.

Anytime you run an intensive game or the like your phone will get warm, no matter what phone it is. Benchmarks get warm too, however I find those to be useless.
It isnt useless, he's collecting informations about the black lines from a few roms...at least be happy that we have such guy on our G2 section, who is willing to help out as much as he can..

Hot as in "it shouldn't be at this temperature at all while doing what it's doing".
So that means 39°C tops. That's a bit above human normal body temperature. Not bad.
If I remember well, playing Plants vs Zombies 2 gave me 47°C tops in GSAM Battery Monitor, without ever rebooting.
Thanks.
Compass.
yeah max I had was 50°C, but not very long.
I guess it can shoot up higher, but for usually when doing intensive stuff, its about 39. Not to bad.
was one build it was 42 also in rest. That wasn't to long though. pretty cool, new build and fixed haha
@Compass Linux - my device gets extremely hot on any aosp rom even on normal usage, like web browsing, texting, checking emails and reading certain articles on the web, the cpu temp ranges from 50*C-60*C at times even 70*C and it gets throttled down as i set my tmep trottle at 70*C.
battery temps range between 27*C to 43*C which is NOT normal so im no longer on any aosp roms. it scares me as for lithium batteries temps above 35*C is bad for its life. also none of these temps are good for the phone so now im on pardus hd 7.1 and my cpu temps are within the rage of 35-50*C and battery temps from 32-35 under the tasks which i mentioned earlier.

wtf ! thats so strange !!!!!!! thats just too high for me man. i always set throttle to 70. at times even at 58*C when the ambient temps are high in my locality. anything above 80*C is bad for any processor.

If it was bad for the CPU why would it come from the factory to start throttling at 75?
I think you're mixing your views of desktop CPUs on to SOCs.
SOC (system on a chip) are crested to be passively cooled.
For this phone 30~50 idle/light tasks and unto 75c underload is perfectly normal and safe.
