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
cpu: 39c
Watching a video
batt:42.8c
cpu:54c
I'm still downloading a heavy intensive game to test

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 :

Is this temperature normal??
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
Hi guys so usually when we use our smartphones whilst browsing the web, videos or gaming especially the chipset will generate heat causing battery temperature to rise in return. What is the recommended battery temperature when using a smartphone such that not to cause harm to the battery? Farenheit or celcius is fine. Thanks
So I recently fixed my Nexus 4 screen after 2 years and the first thing I noticed was the heat. On idle, using CPU-Z my CPU temps are ~40C. During web browsing light web browsing however(XDA, articles) my temperature of CPU goes to 50C. Is this temperature normal for you guys? I maybe used to my Moto G which is cooler, but I wanted to make sure if you guys also had similar temps.
Thanks,

I have recently bought this phone.
I had tested this device with the heavy loads usage.
Like by doing multitaskings,antutobenchmark testing,and playing HD games like modern combat 5.
I have noticed that my device max. CPU Temp reaches upto 75° C
And it's max. Battery temp. Reaches upto 45°C
So plzzzzz tell me . Have I got a defective piece or its normal with this device??
Is it a defective piece or a normal piece??
Hi there, i would like to know the normal/usual temperature of the phone in this kind of situations:
While charging
while playing games
while normal using it
I don't get if i have a problem right now on the phone (new one) or it's just is normal temperature.
I have 42 Celsius (°C) while both playing games and normal usage..
Hi
On normal usage it's mostly between 35-40 (or lower depending on where you live) but in gaming mostly if the game is 3D, it will go up to 43 or even 45
but I have never seen it go more than 49, the most heating thing was enabling LTE hotspot to use on my pc and it made the phone overheat and go near 50 but never passed it even after 4 hrs.
so for a 28nm cpu I guess thats a good temp.
