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??

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, 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.

dont keep it plugged in while playing intensive games and the battery will never reach 60C. heck, gaming while plugged in, ive never reached 60C.

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.
Hi guys i got my nexus 4 a few months back and i am very happy with it.
I rooted it and i'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 with Franco kernel r136. My current settings are
Minimum CPU frequency- 384Mhz
Maximum CPU frequency- 1350Mhz (i underclocked it)
My CPU Voltage settings are (followed this thread

384 - 700 (-150)
486 - 700 (-175)
594 - 720 (-180)
702 - 740 (-185)
1026 - 825 (-200)
1188 - 875 (-225)
1350 - 940 (-185)
1512 - 1000 (-150)
Just checked Device Monitor in franco kernel updater app and clicked it. It is showing CPU temperature is 42 Degrees(106 F). I am a bit worried with this temperature. Is it normal ?? I have no apps running in the background. When i watch 1080p movies it raises upto 48 Degrees.
Any way to reduce the temperature ??
Thank you
Thats normal for a quad core device like our Nexus 4.
And to be honest, it is actually quite low.
Think of it like this. Your body is on average 37 °C. The temperature of your cpu is only 5 degrees hotter than your body.
The cpu can handle way higher temperatures like that, eg. when playing a game.
And when your cpu gets too hot, the phone will shut itself off, so dont worry about it.
lol, that a few degrees warmer than your body temp.. 98.6F
Thanks for the reply. I live in india and we have 44 degrees temperature. Does this effect my phone ???

yes. your phone temperature will also depend on the ambient temperature around it, and itll affect how fast itll cool down too. if the temp around it is 44C, youll need to expect higher phone temps then someone living in a cooler environment.
I just restored my phone from the red blinking led issue, but my cpu temperature is nou 60C idle mode, i think thats a bit much..
Anybody experienced something similar?
I was just curious to what is the max temp of the CPU. because my note 2 will idle near 32*C. Whereas this phone idles 40*C. Battery also isles higher too.

100C is the safety temp. itll automatically shut down to cool off at 100C.
My phone got heated while playing asphalt 8 for 3 minis and phone temperature went upto 80c is this okay or my device is faulty ? I uses CPU temperature app forfor monitoring my temperature
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.
