Howdy.
I noticed that my G2 likes to overheat when playing very graphically intensive games like Lego star wars collection.
Light games like subway surfers and others don't cause any heat at all but those that require max possible power out of the CPU/GPU do, is this normal?
It's not something like warm, it actually gets really hot like after 10-20 minutes of playing. Uncomfortable to hold.
It gets so hot that I cannot even increase the display brightness, it says the phone is too hot.
I'm on stock Kitkat 4.4.2 (D80220H).
More power more heat...
Dorimanx kernel use different termal control and optimized settings, you can try it.
But the computation power you use, the more hot became the cpu.

Thanks, captain, I didn't know that temperature increases when CPU/GPU workload is increased..
I asked if it's normal FOR THIS PHONE to overheat this much. Not if it's normal for the phone to heat up at all.
Going to download CPU-Z to check the thermals after a game session.
Edit: After ~15 minutes thermals show ~70 degrees on all 10 sensors.
I explained you cause and solution. This is a phone and not a playstation (and even the playstation had his own termal 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...

ok thanks..., I'll monitor my device and post the temperature later.
Idle
batt: 35c

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?

sorry for the late reply I thought no ones going to reply with my post, the room temperature is 31c. and I dont use a case
Hello Guys, i registered to XDA developers to ask this question so please reply. i heard many say GPU of Nexus 4 is very bad because after 20 mins of gameplay the phone gets heated and the GPU performance is Dramatically Reduced to cooldown. I am going to buy Nexus 4 thats y im asking, i didnt hear this from my neighbours..., i saw someone say this in youtube comments. Anyone Experiencing this Issue? or its a defective product?.
This is a good thread to read about Thermal Throttling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144652
I am not sure about the GPU actually reducing it's power when the nexus is getting hot. I know the CPU will clock lower when it has reached 70 degrees so it can cool down. Most kernel's have the ability to up this to about 100 degrees so you won't have the thermal throttling as fast. You are also able to remove the throttling completely with a commando.
I've played alot of Dungeon Hunter 4/GTA Vice City/Real Racing 3 and I have never experienced severe FPS drops because of it getting hotter. The only thing you will experience is a battery that will be empty within 2 hours.
PS: This is based on what i've read on the forums, I do not have my nexus 4 for that long and I am not a developer, someone might be able to give you more accurate information.
The thermald.conf sets the battery threshold to about 40-41C before it begins to underclock aggressively (hence why it feels sluggish). I forget the exact number. It starts reading "Overheating" status when it reaches about 46C. Max rated temperature for the battery is 60C.
At that battery temperature ~41C, the CPU is no more than about 50C, so it's not the CPU overheating.
If you feel so inclined, you can modify the thermald.conf with root to modify how aggressive the thermal throttling acts, within reason. Otherwise you'll cook your phone.

or you can run a custom kernel(like trinity) that disables the battery thermal throttle and not worry about it.

YMMV with that. My nominal binned SoC overheats really easily. With the way I use my phone, it'd be overheating way too often.
I modified my thermald.conf so it's less aggressive. It's not that hard to figure out.
The phone throttles its clock speed like a PC. It's not a big deal.
Hi,
I've been using G2 for the past one week. Within minutes of playing a game( `10 mins), the phone heats up a lot at the back where the camera is placed.
I dont even need to play high end games like NOVA 3. Just regular games like Candy crush, Cut the rope etc heats up my phone real bad.
It heats up so much that its impossible to touch it with your hand.
Please advice if anyone has faced this issue.
Regards
Georgi

Same with me, but only plants vs zombies 2 may be its just one game.
Please don't post same question in more than one thread. Your question belongs in the question and answer section where you have it now also. Not here please.
Same here. Maximum overheating is seen during plants and zombie 2.
Hi,
Guys you realize that you have a quadcore at 2.26 Ghz... And when you play a (heavy) game or some other heavy tasks (browsing in 4G for example) it's normal that the CPU heats, right?
Temperature is very subjective without reading the CPU temp with an app, it feels hot in your hand (you can have cold hands and in this case you feel much more the heat) and it's hot because the CPU temp is about 90°C is different...
Heat and overheat (or "maximum overheating" like above ) is different too..., in any case there is a thermal throttling that prevent overheating. Our CPU shutdowns at 120°C so there is a little room... Even 80°C is nothing for the CPU...
Even 90°C for the CPU temperature is almost nothing (for the the stressed people) and there is a thermal protection in any case. Thermal throttling that reduces the CPU freq according to the CPU temp, same thing for the battery. And in case of extreme temperature -> shutdown.
And if you speak about "overheating" when playing a game or browsing while charging your phone...
Check your CPU temp with an app and report here...
It remembers me all the threads about "overheating" in the Nexus 4 forum...
I will definitely try installing a temperature app and will report the temp soon.
I'm worried that the heating takes place near the area where the camera is located. Can this have any adverse effect on the camera?

I cant vouch for a smartphone camera in general, but I know I had a newer regular old camera that sat in the sun and the heat for a day, and was perfectly fine. I don't see the heat damaging the camera.
Hey guys,
I know there been a few threads on this issue, but none really tells me what the normal heat temperature is. I just got my Z5 a week and a few days now and noticed since using the phone that browsing lightly the phone heats up quite a bit. I know with gaming it would heat up a lot more but wow does it heat up.
The part it heats up mainly is the top half of the phone. When touching it at that heat level it doesnt burn majorly but just feels uncomfortable to hold. This is me playing Need4Speed No Limits for about 10mins and the heat gets that way. Also taking videos and photos it tends to heat up a lot which is understandable.
What i dont understand though is when Im just browsing google play store then it heats up quite a bit. Is it suppose to heat up so much so often?
What is the normal heat levels for this phone? Im not sure what would be classified as normal temperatures. Last time I used a high end smartphone was with the Z1 and that never heated up as much as this phone at all.
The Snapdragon 810 SoC runs hot so the Z5 has two heatpipes to remove the heat from the chip. You're just experiencing where that heat ends up.
Note: phone gets warm while charging so gaming+charging together will be even hotter.

I see. So its basically pushing all the heat there. Kind of makes sense. I never use my phone while charging simply cause it generates a lot of heat. Regardless of the phone I use.

My Z5C always runs cool, it never heated up not even during initialising everything. I never game on the device but I do take quite a lot of videos/photos, browsing, texts, whatsapp, email, youtube etc etc.
Maybe this is another thing that varies between different handsets.

I find that so difficult to believe. Im typing this reply and its heating up quite a bit. U must be lucky.

Z5C has a smaller screen with less pixels, that's not a fair comparison to the normal Z5
Xperia Z5 Temp
Guys would like to know about the temps that I'm having with my Xperia Z5. My version is E6603 rev 3.
I made the following temperature tests and used the cputemp as app for monitoring. In all tests I started with the cpu temperature around the 34 - 36 and 26c environment
Shoot in 4K with phone on the table
30 minutes, max cpu temp 70c, 46c battery
Shoot in 4k with minimal contact (phone over two pens)
10 minutes, max cpu temp 70c, 46c battery
Shoot in FullHD @ 60fps with minimal contact (phone over two pens)
Almost 5, max cpu temp 71c, 48c battery
Shoot in FullHD @ 60fps on the table
15min max cpu 70c, 46c battery
Playing Relic Run (tomb raider)
max cpu temp 62c, battery 44c - 46c
Playing Real Racing 3
max cpu temp 56c, 44c battery
Comment and compare the temperatures. What do you think?
So I got G6 yesterday and I liked it. but, after about 30-60 mins of gaming, the device starts to slow down
For example, I was playing PUBG at high settings at ~45 fps, but after some time , it drops to ~20 fps, extremely unplayable
Is there anyway to fix it??
I've heard that CPU Throttling is the problem, but I didnt find a way to disable it
I am using the LG H870DS Model
Then cool your Phone with something down, like playing under Water.
Of course its throttling down, cause of the Heat, LOL.
You were able to find XDA Forum and to login, so you cannot be stupid like that, not to know what thermal throttling means -.-

I am aware that thermal throttling was caused by excessive heat
If I am not mistaken, Thermal throttling is basically CPU and GPU underclocking automatically when reaching high temperature (50 celcius most of the time) to avoid potential hardware failure
But the problem is the throttling was so bad. compared to my other phone. But yeah I am aware that thermal throttling exist for a good reason
You play too much mobile Games, take a Computer and become Masterrace ?
