Whats a safe temp with overclocking ???

I was wondering what some opinions are with how hot
The phone gets with overclocking and when to shut it
Down ? With playing around on the phone it gets to 107*
Fairly quickly depending on outside temperature . What's
A safe and not safe zone for temps ?

If my conversion is right thats 41.67 degrees Celsius.:eek Personally, I wouldnt be comfortable letting it get that hot.
I have a SetCPU profile that if my G2 reaches 38.2 degrees Celsius it underclocks it to 245 (max and min frequency, with performance governor). My G2 has never reached over 34 degrees Celsius though. My daily overclock is in my sig (1.5ghz).

CPU wise it's fine, other parts of the phone and your hand may not be. If it's too hot to hold it's too hot.

Just a note that temperature is the battery temperature and not the CPU temperature.

I say keep it under 40 degrees Celsius and you're fine.
My phone has only once gotten that hot. I was running a game app on my phone for over an hour straight and I had a case on. Holding the phone in my hand only added to the heat. My temp profile kicked in and I let my phone chill for a while and it came back to normal.
I do not however underclock it to 245 Mhz. I take it down to normal clock speeds of 806 Mhz and that seems to work well for me.

if you dont care about how hot your phone gets or if your watching it ive takin mine up to 1.5 GHz

My nexus one used to reboot at high temperatures. First the screen would become unresponsive, then it would just reset. I think it started doing that when it got into the mid 40s.

So I was just playing homerun battle 3d for a couple of hours and noticed the back getting fairly warm.... Shut it down and looked at setcpu, 117.5F degrees or 38C!!! Hmm lol and its still running like a champ. Might need to set a temp. profile fo sho!

Your conversions are not that great. 40 degrees Celsius is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
So was your phone at 117.5F or was it at 38C? It can't be both at the same time.
38C isn't bad. 117.5F is quite hot, however.

I'll run the 1.516 GHz OC until the battery gets to 100.4 F. Then I drop it down to 768 MHz. However, when the phone is below the max temp I have it set to 1516 max/256 min (I think it's 256 it might be something else, but I'm too lazy to check). So my phone only starts cooking when I'm running my PSX emulator or something fierce

LoL...my bad I meant 48C. And yes it was hot but the phone handled it. I enabled the temp profile back to clock 800 mhz when it hits 104F

Nexus 4 Heating?

Hello, I've had my nexus 4 for about a week and a halfish now and I've noticed that the phone is running pretty warm after even just light usage. I download a battery temperature reader and a CPU temperature measurer. At Idle the batter temperature is at about 33-36 degrees Celsuis. And the CPU temperature at Idle is usually in the lower 40's at idle. Are these Temperatures to high?
Also When I plays games or use any apps for a just a few minutes the battery Temperatures get at around 40 degress C and the CPU temp is usually around the 45-50 area. Again Are these temperature to high?
I would really appreciate if anyone could give me useful help on this issue I'm having with my phone.
Is this normal for a nexus 4?
Should I be concerned?
Should I get a new nexus 4?

I'm assuming your Nexus 4 is a newer one (rev. 11). Nexus 4s have been known to run quite hot. My rev. 10 is at 42 C coming out of sleep without use, earlier when I played Need for Speed, it got to 60 C. It seems to be normal for mine, although it does get uncomfortably hot.

completely normal. right smack in the middle of the range of normal. remember, human body temperature average is 37C or 98.6F. when you use your device, the temp will go up when you use a cpu intensive game, the temperature will get even hotter. this all also depends on the surrounding air temperature. the warmer it is around, the warmer the device will get or idle.

Normal. Because the back is made of glass, it absorbs the heat and you feel it more than other phones.

Lol My Nexus S get's warm on idle because of the hot air around. haha my nexus 4 coming in 3 days let's see!

Hmm, That seems weird, if the phone throttles you at 37 degrees shouldn't my phone not be idling at that temperature, and the my front screen seems to get warm after slight usage to. And looking on other forums people with a stock nexus 4 said that there phone idles around mid twenties, not the lower-mid thirties.

for hard working with QuadCore it s normal to get ~40 C quickly
But after 40C i think it s not normal and it s better to ask official service

look at the time they were posted. now its warmer eveeywhere. and again, human body temp is 37C. you have a quad core phone, it WILL get hot at times, that is normal. pushing the device, you might even see 70C or 75C.

Hmm okay I have pushed the phone and the highest CPU temp I reached was about 60ish. I'm not exactly worried about how hot it gets, it's just how fast it gets hot, it seems a little odd that just running facebook and twitter for a few minutes can get the battery temperature up to 40 degrees celsius.

That sounds similar to the results that I have found on the web, people said that to get there battery temperature up to 40 degress they have to push the phone, mine gets there just by opening a few apps.

If you want to cool it down and you are happy with messing about with your phone, try undervolting the CPU. Although I tend not to check the temperature, my phone (UVd by around -150) feels far cooler; playing Real Racing it doesn't get as warm as simple browsing would on stock.

40C is not hot. get that out of your head. idle temp will depend on the air temperature around you. yesterday was 91 in nyc, my phone was idling between 39-42C. stick your hand in 40C water, itll barely feel warm.

Couldn't agree more, The back of the phone I wouldn't say it HOT, but it is definitely very warm. But I'm not talking about how hot the phone feels. I'm trying to ask about the internal temperatures and if it's normal for it to heat up so fast.

again. this is normal. 104F would not feel more than slightly warm water.
the glass in the back of the phone is there to draw out the heat from the phone. its glass, and will feel warm. if you have problems with 40C, then i would recommend that you buy a dumb phone. my nexus 7, galaxy nexus, and nexus 4 all idle a bit warmer now than in winter. 40C is very normal.

[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.

cpu will happily run ~75c without throttling, max temp is 92C at which point it will turn off.

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.

You put it in the freezer lol? Just get your phone out of the freezer and shut it down, let it cool and turn it back on.I'd do a wipde data/cache just to see if it happens again.

i just installed cm12 it so fast no lag at all tw roms kiing this phone performance but the same the temoreture at normal use is 59 to 60 c

Normal use should be low to mid 30's and only push 60 at full cpu use like benchmarking or heavy games.
Only thing I could think of is your cpu profile or Governor is set really high where it's keeping the CPU cranked all the time
Currently still using my Note 4 as my daily but may switch back to my Nexus 6 now that LP 5.1 has been pushed out.

my note 4 without use is 51 c with use it up to 70c

Note 5 - CPU temperature

Hi all,
Loving the Note 5, but not loving so much how warm it seems to get in my hand, even under light/normal loading. I would be very interested to see some figures from other forum members. To make the test more accurate, I would suggest the following sequence.
MEASUREMENT 1
Close all open apps
Screen brightness 50%
Connect to WiFi (bad cell coverage might raise temperature)
Open App that allows you to see CPU thermal
Let the temperature settle down to a stable marker
Post temperature in celsius (apparently some of the apps have faulty Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion)
MEASUREMENT 2
Close all open apps
screen brightness full
Connect to WiFi (bad cell coverage might raise temperature)
Open App that allows you to see CPU thermal in the background
[*} Use camera app to film in UHD for 1 minute
Multitask switch to CPU temperature app
Read the temperature it reads immediately
Post temperature in celsius
MEASUREMENT 2
Random measurement...
Just any moment when you're doing light/normal stuff
Open the app and read the value in celsius
For me, the results are as follows:
Measurement 1 never goes below 30 degrees.
Measurement 2 was 73 degrees.
Measurement 3 is typically High 30's to high 40's.

1. 32C
2. 70C (within 5 seconds was down to 54C and within 10 seconds down to 42C)
3. 43C

Good! Maybe I would buy it if i knew i get updates and if it was cheaper!

Anyone else care to chip in? I'm starting to believe the warm in hand feeling is much more pronounced when I'm out and about and using 4G intensely (Youtube + browsing + Spotify). Here at home on WiFi it never gets as warm.

Played Angry birds 2 and PPSSPP emulator(cpu internsive) i do think that the Note 5 throttles, just like G4 or any other phone but not because of the temp, but the Interactive govenor is bugged.
I played tekken 6 on ppsspp and it played 35-50 fps with a bit of lag here and there, change to performance govenor, SAME TEMP, 60fps smooth NO LAG whatsoever, it made AB2 also way smoother.
It's the govenor that might cause the problem, not throttling.

Have to bring this back up to see if anyone is getting cpu spikes.
Coming from a nexus 6 that ran around 95°F on average. My N920T is always jumping from around 115°F to as high as 169°F. The temperature is never constant it's always going high to low. Trying to decide if I should exchange it.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

I've actually exchange that phone for a new one. The new one has a more stable temperature reading and only gets that hot in testing applications. The new one is much better. I couldn't last a day on the old phone, and it lost about 25% while I slept for 5 hours the day before I exchanged it.
