s7 edge running hot? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I got my s7 edge on launch day like may others. I started installing all my old apps and ehat not. afterwards i was browsing facebook and noticed that it was a bit hot to the touch. i installed a cpu temp widget that said it was running around 110 degrees F. since then i have been monitoring it and have noticed that with apps like facebook or instagram it gets up to about 120. resting temp is about 87. is this normal operating temp? I was playing with my buddies VR and it got to about 147 but rapidly cooled down after. Thanks for the help!

I've done a lot of gaming, web browsing, downloading and video taking on my S7e. In GSAM, it never went over 37ºC (98ºF). Even running AnTuT back to back did not make it go over this 37ºC barrier.
Yours seems like it runs hot.

How accurate are these cpu temp monitors? im using one simply called "temp monitor" and its reading 100F after some texting.
edit: Okay i just installed another cpu temp monitor. (top on the playstore) It said "cannot access cpu temp, will determine by algorithm, not accurate". It read the same temp as my other widget. However if they are both using the same algorithm, which has been stated by the one app to not be accurate, it seems to be possible that they are reading high. Anyways is there a way to access the internal cpu temp gauge without an app?

Yes that's normal. I was running YouTube for 15 minutes lat night and got to 206 degrees. That was hot.

Also check out cpu-z that's what I used to check my temps

Have the exynos version and the only time I can feel a heat difrance is when using vr. Very cool otherwise

cpu tempature 91°C

So am running classic stability test 2.7, and I've ran this before and my CPU get to 60°C or after like 15 minutes, I ran it today out of sheer curiosity and it started to show 91°C. Am using cm with there kernel since I recently flashed the latest nightly and thought how would it differ from matrixes. Another thing it can be that the values are being incorrectly displayed. Is this something I should worry about? Am really not in the mood for an RMA and losing my phone. Shouldnt of the system shut itself down after a certain limit as a fail safe?

Are you sure it is Celsius and not Fahrenheit? Is about 33 degrees Celsius. At 91 degrees it would have shut down and rebooted a long time before reaching that temperature.
Trickster mod says its °C so?
edit: the device itself gets very very hot which am sure if it was running at 30 it would be fairly cool would it not?

- touch the back, if it's 91C your fingers will know.
- RMA because you run a heavy benchmark test (I never do, no opinion on that) and it -logically- heated up..?

it was very hot I had to put it down so am guessing its 90C, but now its a lot better, it seems it wasn't throttling proper? it attempted to run the entire thing at 1.5ghz constantly, rather than it's usually clocking down to 1.1ghz. Now it's throttling and while its at 78C, it just feels warm and it actually being managed.
I flashed back to matrix's kernel and prefed to use the scaling test which would probably be closer to real life usage and its running 45C. I really like CM and don't want to flash back to stock but I may end up doing it
Note to self
Don't run stability tests

90c will probobly burn your skin.
it was mistake.
Must be a mistake. 91 degrees Celsius is almost 200 Degrees Fahrenheit, that would melt the plastic on the phone, and burn your fingers.

not true. ive forced mine to hit 100C. its the cpu temp, not the temp of the outside of your phone. ive even hit 110C with my galaxy nexus. it doesnt stay at those temps long enough to melt your phone, lol.

stability tests are meant to push your cpu to its limits. pushing the cpu to its limits will create lots of heat. it is meant to do that. if youre using stability tests, you can not complain about heat. its like putting your car in neutral then flooring the gas pedal, itll cause your engine to get hot, especially if you do it for 15 minutes.

safety cpu shutdown for the gnex is 110C. as soon as i saw it hit 110C, it shut down. but you really have to try to get it to that point by stressing it awfully hard. same with the nexus 4, 100C is the safety shutdown. running certain benchmarks or stress tests are the only ways to get it that hot. which is why it makes no sense that someone running a stress test for 15 minutes is complaining about heat, asking if he should rma his device.

I think you are referring to battery temp and not CPU temp. Unless you live somewhere very cold it would be quite difficult for your CPU not to go over 40c

Canada its fkin freezing!! just checked set cpu and its 23 c, but im just scrolling through twitter, not really doing anything else.
The points that I would be concerned with temps are
Battery > 50°C
CPU > 80°C
This is based on stock thermal throttle at 60°C CPU
On Franco kernel I have upped my throttle limit to 70°C so I wouldn't be concerned unless it went above 85.
You will know if your battery is at a dangerous temperature because it will be very uncomfortable to hold

My nexus 4 cpu temperature stays at 40°C or more and reaches 60°C when playing GTA for instance. Should i be worried? BTW im running faux kernel with intellidemand and eco mode

no.
for the record am not asking if I can RMA, am happy with my device and really don't need to lose it for a week. But this just started happening more frequently. Sometimes the thermald ****s up and it doesn't throttle at all, at times I could be just playing GTA, Worms, Plague etc I usually don't notice because the phones down on the table, pick it up and owwwww flashing back to matrix solved the majority of it tbh. Right now it's sitting on 31C idle, it'll be about 40-50C on chrome funnily enough, and then 60ishC on games, pushing 70 depending how long I leave it on. I see that as fairly normal tbh, but 90C? I wouldn't even trust my fan cooled i5 to go there.
And am back were I started just playing 2 minutes of batman and its at 70°C and burning my hand
wow 91° ?? its dangerous maybe your device will " BOOM" sometimes :0

cool.
but yea, its possible to reach those high temps if, and only if, pushing your cpu. itll get warmer faster if your gpu is overclocked(is gpu overclocked in franco kernel?). now, if doing nothing and the phone gets that hot, thats a problem(software or hardware).
nah its not overclocked, atm its cooled down, although it does take a while to drop from a high temp to something low even on idle.

[Q] heat issues

my s5 gets hot very quickly.. when i use it for 10-15mins (very light use checking mail and browsing).. it gets warm... when on moderate use (transfering lots of stuff on sdcard) it gets hot .... and when using a lot of apps (not even gaming).. it gets really really hot.
I installed cpu temp and I get temperatures like 60 degrees... sometimes i even get warning it's over 70 degrees.
I am on kitkat neatrom. will lollipop help with the heat? Is it actually normal? My friend has galaxy s4 mini and it does not get hot.. only warm under similar heavy load

No is not normal.Not even in games. When i was on kit kat hw accelerate h265 1080p movies only played in sw mod and then my cpu never got over 70 (and this is a ****ing cpu intensive **** for 1-2 h) and after finish the movie temp got lower immediately.
Don't use kernel others than stock!
I am on stock... I will try a stock rooted lollipop rom... I get 70 degrees at times (some peak..it's not continous i think ).. average max temp is 61 degrees celcius... is this dangerous? It's quite hot to touch the screen. Meanwhile I underclocked my max cpu freq to see how it performs.
can someone install stabilitytest and do the classic test for 5-10mins and tell me what battery temp they get? I get 36.1 - 37.5 degrees but i underclocked my cpu to 1190mhz. I feel the device being warm... top of the phone is warmest
edit: done same test on my old htc desire and the temp gets max at 33.6 to 34.6 but the device does not feel warm at all.. wdf is wrong with the galaxy s5?
It's actually the top part of the screen that is very hot to touch

in cputemp, go to changing curve to see the cpu temp monitor.
in cputemp --> settings --> you can enable cpu temp overlay.. it will show you the temp in status bar... can you tell me what do you get when idle and what do you get while doing the stabilitytest. thx

Thx for tests! So it does get pretty hot for you too on load but your battery temp is much lower than me. It is 36 to 38 for me undet load maybe thats because i am using a case? Do you feel the touchscreen very hot when doing the tests?
But normal temp is still high for me. It is 46 to 56 degrees doing just light tasks like browsing and gmail. Will try to factory reset. Maybe a nasty app causing it.
Thx again
anyone else having heat issues?are all snapdragon 801 phones that hot? I am considering selling my s5... I only had it for a few months... It's the first flagship device I bought and I am amazed that it has that kind of issues. (I also get a can't wake up issue).. unbelievable...

What is the normal CPU temperature ?

With normal tasks such as browser, phone and messaging, the CPU temp of my phone is around 38-40. With tasks as YouTube and graphics intense games it's between 50-55. At this point, the phone feels really hot.
Are these expected temp level or is there some problem with my phone?
With asphalt, the temp averaged around 65C. While downloading the additional content it reached 75C.
I rarely see mine above 45. I've only seen 50 a few times. Throttling kicks in bad above 50

How can i check the temp of the CPU? Most of the apps don't even show temperature on 6P and CPU Z gives me like 15 different readings ;/
For this I had used CPU Temp. But yeah after the update, it says that it cannot determine the temperature.
In CPU Z, I was unable to understand the readings. One of the app, said that there is no temperature sensor to determine the reading of the phone. So not sure if we can get the accurate temperature.
But the phone is for sure getting too hot. I feel Nexus 6p has heating issue, or atleast mine does.
45-60 shouldn't damage your CPU, but 75+ can be harming for phone's integrated circuit

Remember that it will go up to 70°C maybe higher and the aluminium case spreads the heat making the whole device hot (LG G3 was very hot only in specific area, because it was plastic).

Samsung Galaxy S5 inaccurate cpu temperature

I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F, running the official Android 6 marshmallow update.
Sometimes when I try to take a picture with flash, it tells my that my cpu is too hot and it needs to cool down, before I could use the flash again. I downloaded an app to look at the temperatures, and after not using the phone for a while I made sure it was cold and the battery showed about 29c, but the cpu temp was about 50c. I don’t think this is the actual temperature, because every spot of the phone was absolutely cold. When I ran some slight tasks the cpu temp was rising to about 86c. The phone was indeed hot tot he touch and the battery temp was rising too, about 40c, but I still think the temperatures it is showing for the cpu are not right. That’s why I get some errors like that. The battery temp seems a bit high too.
Now my question is, is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to maybe calibrate the cpu temperature sensor? I tried everything, all the way up to resetting my phone to factory settings, but with no luck.
I also noticed that the download speeds are very slow, especially when I try to update or download an app from the play store, compared to other devices on the same network. I ran a speedtest and the results are normal, the same as other devices, but the real world download speed isn’t.
I hope someone could help me with this problems. The slow downloading speed isn’t really bothering me that much, but the inaccurate cpu temperature is. Sometimes it gets really hot, sometimes even with slight tasks yes, maybe that isn’t normal too.

Mi 9T Incorrect CPU Temperature Readings

Hi there, so I recently received the Mi 9T I just bought a few weeks ago, and the first I noticed is that the phone is perfectly fine except for one thing: CPU Temperature. I set up the phone usually as how I set up my phones, and since I had a history of overheating phones, a good CPU Temp monitoring app is a must.
So I installed CPU/GPU Meter & Notification, but to my surprise, the CPU Temp is stuck at 37°C regardless of how hot or cold the phone is. (Even put it in a fridge for 15 minutes just to test it out). I also installed other CPU Monitoring apps but all have a static reading. However, using AIDA64 and CPU-Z has some readings on various temp sensors on the phone, though I'd note that the pm6150-tz displays a steady 37°C, which is most likely, the CPU Temp. Since the other readings there (~cpu specifically) update constantly, it rules out sensor problem.
I thought this might've been a problem with ROM, so I tried flashing Xiaomi.EU ROM, 12.0.3 Stable, and rooted with Magisk, but still, same problem. I went on googling about how to get temps and I came across thermal zone paths right on
(sys/devices/virtual/thermal_zone+zoneNumber/temp) in which had some crazy numbers (when viewed as text), one of them has 37000, 37100, etc. I don't know if this has a part in the problem or what, since this ticks something https://www.reddit.com/r/Mi9T/comments/cwqrqm/cpu_z_pm6150ibat_lv0_and_lv1_very_high_temperature/
I experimented with my phone even further and saw that CPU Monitor app View attachment 5053905 does have some CPU temps that do actually update (not just steady 37°C) when I charge the phone, or do some tasks. Though eventually, it's stuck again on that 42°C, which doesn't seem right at all since if I have 42 degrees, then I should feel the heat on my phone, but in reality, I don't even feel any heat at all, and the phone doesn't seem to be having a 42°C temp.
I ruled out bad heat dissipation as well by prying open the back of the phone and reapplying thermal paste (I used Arctic MX-4 btw). Yeah, forget about the warranty and such.
May I ask if everyone else has this problem? Maybe if you guys have some time to try out these two apps: CPU/GPU Meter & Notification, and CPU Monitor to check if your devices have the same problem or it's only isolated to just my phone.
I'd also like to know if this is not an isolated case, is it possible that there is a software problem? And can be ironed out by future updates?
Thank you!
UPDATE: It seems to have readings with CPU Monitor app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glgjing.stark&hl=en) but they are quite inaccurate and puzzling. According to the app, when phone is at idle, CPU temperature are at 36-37 degrees, however, as soon as I plug the charger, the CPU temperature rise up to 40 degrees within 2 seconds, then when I unplug the charger abruptly, it goes back to 37 degrees instantly.
I let it charge for a while and did the same thing, only this time, the CPU temperature dropped to 38 degrees (from 41 degrees while the charger is connected), and the phone feels a bit warm, let's say it feels like 38 degrees for real, that's warmth is comparable to the heat of your neck when you have a mild fever
Go to aida64 and find a thermal zone you want to monitor, then find an app that gives you the ability to change the thermal zone to monitor.
I'm curious if changing thermal paste had any effect. Can you start a stress test and monitor cpu-0 and cpu-1 temps and see how soon it throttles?

I don't get it, how can I find an app that does exactly change the thermal zone to monitor, since I've already tried most of them, and they only go after the pm6150-tz sensor. Only CPU-Z and AIDA64 had readings from other sensors.
For the stress tests, I've been conducting tests on 3DMark, and it gets lower scores after the first OpenGL 3.1 Extreme Test completes. I can't switch over to AIDA64 to monitor temps tho, the phone simply lags a lot that I can't even see notifications properly until the stress tests are over.
I would like to try Antutu but I don't want to download it outside of the play store.
Changing thermal paste didnt have any effect for the temp readings. It only made the phone's frame heat a little faster, which I think means I put enough thermal paste that heat dissipation is good

Ok, I don't know of any apps that can do it that way properly. But anyway, I don't think you need to worry about temperatures. Especially if the frame heats up a bit faster now which indicates bettee dissipation. I think it's more important to monitor battery temps anyway.
No closer to finding the solution to any of this, but I can second the crazy-high/static reading behaviour on the Mi 9T. Elixir 2 reports 3700°C as the CPU temp (also only reads 0% usage as well, but that's not necessarily relevant) and CPU Monitor seems to vary, in use, between 35°C and 38°C, but normally sits on 36°C or 37°C.
Currently running: MiUI global 12.04 (stable), but NOT rooted at all.
Again, all other sensors seem to be working fine.

I know this is probably too late now, but the pm6150-tz was actually the Power Management IC which I think is in charge of device charging and/or CPU/ROM power management. The tz means it's the thermal zone (thermal sensor)
This problem is solved by installing AnTuTu Benchmark and enabling CPU temperature monitoring. However, if you wanted to use a different one with more features, try using Scene6 app. (If you dont mind it being a paid app and having still most of the app in Chinese).
