Crazy high temperatures!! + Battery temp sensor not working!! - LG V20 Questions & Answers

So, I purchased a replacement battery for my V20 from Amazon. I wen't with the Perfine 3,200mAh as I couldn't trust that the "original OEM" batteries were genuinely original. However, I've noticed (as one other review on amazon mentioned) that the temperature sensor in the battery isn't working. It constantly seems to read around 22°C no matter what. The other day my V20 became very hot during use, possibly dangerously hot (I don't think this was related to the battery, it was a fairly hot day). I checked the temps using Aida64. One of the temperature sensors, "tsens_tz_sensor11" read 71.4°C!! I immediately shut the handset down to be on the safe side. I don't think I've ever had a phone get this hot. Is that normal? Or even safe? And how dangerous is a battery without a temp sensor? - I'm guessing not very safe at all

I've read the opposite that most of the knock off after market batteries are crap and you're best off sticking with a genuine oem battery.

Sorry, I didn't really make that clear enough. There are a ton of fake "Genuine LG OEM" branded batteries out there. They're all skinned like the official battery that came with the V20, with a few minor differences. This make it really hard to know whether you're actually buying a genuine LG product or not.
The battery I bought isn't a knock off, it's a third party battery. The capacity of this replacement is great, actually slightly better than the genuine one that came with my V20. The only issue is the dud temperature sensor.

71C is high, is that after running a benchmark or something?My note 4 used to go over 73c sometimes .My cpu idles around 28-30c ( i changed the thermal paste) and goes to around 60c under max load.I'd recommend changing the thermal paste for sure. Regarding the battery, it's probably the temp sensor on the Battery IC that's not compatible with V20?

I was on 4G at the time, and only checking Reddit and reading the news. Nothing intensive at all, which is why I freaked out a little. Room temp was probably around 30°C at the time.
I reckon you're right about the temperature sensor. It does seem to get some sort of reading but always hovers around the 22/23°C mark. Should I be worried about that? The battery obviously has a temp sensor for a reason. I really don't want a note 7-esq experience any time soon...

yeah you never know.When charging batteries( especially non-oem) best to have fully functioning one especially from a safety standard.Yes, there are good reasons for battery temperature sensor.It says a lot about the health of the battery , like if its prone to failure in the near future.This is a wild scenario but say if your battery starts expanding rapidly it's gonna be very hot and phone will be made aware(99% chance this isn't gonna happen but just an example).You may have noticed if you use Fast charge, the battery gets hot, nothing crazy but hot nonetheless.So if your device is fast charging, it may send false battery temp readings and fast charge may keep sending higher voltage or current(i think fast charge is like 9v) because as far as it knows battery is not at temp threshold. Obviously voltage threshold comes in to play primarily, but you get the the idea.That's just another scenario i could think of as an example.Have you tried checking temps with other apps like cpu-z for consistency? Yeah i see why your temp is so high 30C room temp, that's so hot lol Mine is probably 14C .
My battery definitely goes above 23c so yeah something is wrong there.

Interestingly i once made my phone reach 90c with lineage os running kernel auditor and cpu on max speed. I could not touch the fingerprint se sor. Im not sure if it was really 90 or kernel auditor was wrong. Battery and everything was stock.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I reluctantly returned it today. It's a shame because it really was a huge improvement over the stock V20 battery. I've taken a punt on another third-party replacement. Fingers crossed!

Holy moly! That's ridiculous! haha. I know CPUs can withstand very high temps, but 90°C in a smartphone is pretty nuts!

(Almost) burning hot Desire Z

About a dozen times recently I've removed my Desire Z from my pocket and discovered it is turned off and extremely HOT, not burning hot but much much hotter than any phone ever should be. The whole phone and battery is hot. I have to remove and reinsert the battery to restart the phone and the battery level is much depleted over what is normal. I don't think the phone is going to start a fire in my pocket but I rely on this thing to be functioning when it's supposed to, not heating my, umm, privates.
Anyone else experience this? Fortunately it's still under warranty (if I can find the receipt...).
What ROM? Kernel? etc?
Need info to help, if you're stock, then its defective and you should return it of course.
Has this been happening more than once? And like the guy above me said, are you over clocked? If so, have it so it unclocks when the screen is off. But if your not over clocked, maybe try getting a new battery?
Sent from my HTC Vision
The phone is completely stock other than being unlocked so I can use it under Telus. My battery is a Mugen Power 1800 mAh though I am believe that the very first time this happened it had the original battery in it.
It always happens while I'm carrying it in my pocket,that is to say it doesn't happen all the time but when it does it has been in my pocket - that's where I always carry it. Sometimes I feel the heat enough to notice it, but usually I'm checking my phone wondering why I didn't receive an expected call. And then when it restarts from a battery pull I realize I have practically no battery left.
I have an inquiry into HTC about it. I assume I am going to have to find my receipt before they'll be willing to warranty it right? Being without my phone for any length of time is going to be a big problem in itself though.
How long do you keep it in your pocket. I know my phone starts getting warm when I've had it in my pocket for an hour or so. Hence the reason I always keep it on my desk and only have it in my pocket if I'm off somewhere.
Since you aren't overclocking it, I can say I'm 99% sure it's a bad battery or liquid damage. Do any of the batteries have humps or are they completely flat? Has the phone been exposed to any liquid at all?
If your rooted use setcpu to keep an eye on temps. Otherwise I've used gauge battery widget to keep an eye on temps as well. Actually I use both currently and when my phones running warm the temps reflect that. Wouldn't hurt to try, besides at least then you'll have an actual temp number to warn you.

No, the phone has never been rooted nor exposed to moisture. I might keep in my pocket all day - usually it's fine, the odd time it's shut off and darn near burning hot. Perhaps it is the Mugen battery causing this although it appears physically fine and normally powers my phone for 1.5 days without heating up.
In any event I discovered that I apparently have no warranty! HTC says they don't do any repairs (?) and it is up to my provider to fix it. Well that ain't gonna work for me as I bought the phone from a Bell dealer and unlocked it to use on the Telus network. The dealer told me directly that once it was unlocked, all warranty is through the manufacturer. Neat system eh?

He's stated hes not rooted. And a temp widget won't help him since its overheating in his pocket.
OP this is clearly a hardware issue unless for some reason you have some seriously rogue app that's blowing up your system.
Or a defective battery is also possible.

oh well yes, by hardware I mean device+battery, aka not software.
I have the same problem with mine but I am rooted and running a diff rom i did it almost the same day I got the phone so I not sure if it did it before. Im running cryogen 7.0.2. I run about 1 ghz but have underclocked it to 600 and had still had the same overheat deal for me. Also have had it do it while on a table out of my pocket...
No bumps on the batt and no water...
Also my touchscreen doesn't work well at all...
I have also had similar problems with a mugen battery. From now on if i dont use a paper between the door cover and the battery, if i fully close the battery cover the phone will shut down. Mugen batteries are as crap as they get. Stick with the stock battery, im getting 2.5 days of use with RMK's G-lite rom.
P.S. IMO the Mugen battery has about the same "real" mah rating as the stock one.
You should change the battery.
I agree try a new battery, stock if you want. And I use the chichitech 1900 mah and it might get a little warm but not burning hot lol and that's with a case...so maybe the battery door is actually warmer. Hmm...anyways yea new battery or phone whichever is cheaper or more convenient.

[Q] LG G2 Operating Temperatures

Ok, I searched the forum about this topic and didn't really find anything answering my questions. I'm currently coming from a Droid RAZR and it ran hot to say the least. I can't get a straight answer on this phone's operating temperatures and I'm trying to determine whether to put a thick case on or not(with almost no bezel, I'm paranoid it will break on first drop). From what I've read, about 60% of people aren't reporting very much heat. The other 40% say there is a huge problem and most have had to replace their phones thinking it was a defect.
When it came to my RAZR, at rest with a case on, battery temperature would sit at just under 87 F. Under heavy use, I've hit over 124 F. Without a case, 83 F, the highest I've hit is just under 117 F. Extremely significant when you can't remove the battery and swap it out. I believe that it led to it's premature failure. I want to avoid that with this phone.
Is anybody keeping track of their phone and battery temperatures?
What apps and/or widgits do you use?
What is the normal at rest temperature?
What is the heavy use temperature?
Thanks everyone. My phone gets here in a few days and I want to be ready with a case.
I don't keep track of it. However this phone does get really hot (uncomfortable to hold) when playing games. With Tpu cases this was less noticeable. But lately I installed skinomi stickers for back protector, and it always bother me when it gets hot this way.
That being said, normal uses such as Internet, music, YouTube, xda, camera.... The phone only becomes slightly warm.
-LG G2
I keep wondering why no one makes cases that help dissipate heat, for how hot modern phones get! If anything, most cases insulate the phone and make them get even hotter!

Admittedly, I'm not a gamer but the only times I've felt the device get hot enough to register with the Incipio Feather case were: 1) after a wipe/flash, and all my apps were downloading again from the Play Store and 2) when wiping and the device was plugged into the wall charger (CPU temp was around 100 degrees) - other than these 2 instances, I've never felt heat thru my Feather case.

The case I had been using with the RAZR was a TPU hybrid. I also went to a skin because of the heat. I don't think I cando that with this phone. I'm too clumsy.

I was actually looking at getting the dual pro. Thanks for the feedback. Exactly the type I'm looking for.
Honestly i just replaced my phone due to overheating issues. It would literally shut down or restart just running the camera for too long. After reading some other reports in the forums I decided to send it in and get a replacement. My new one came in yesterday and absolutely no overheating issues. Even can run antutu without a reboot (my other G2 would reboot about 14% in). So from my experience there was a batch that had some thermal issues... I got mine the first day it came out. Loving this second one

Does anybody know if we can track manufacture/release date using the serial numbers?
I am using this case full time: http://goo.gl/0u05G5
I use Battery and CPU-Z to check battery temps. Even with over an hour of straight gaming, I have yet to see it get above 98F. I constanty run the screen at 80% brightness as well, as that can be a contributing factor. The games I have played this long with are Riptide GP and Madden 25.
You really cant feel any heat through this case, and hand temps are too subjective anyway.

yeah, especially while gaming.. and it's not the battery drain that concerns me, the heat is ridiculous for long term gaming..
and slapping a case would be good for your hand but not for your phone
plus there's not one manufacturer that make cases for heavy gaming yet..
i wonder what the case would look like if it was made for dissapating heat.. probably has a lot of thermal pipelines built in that would be awesome..

One thing I've noticed from people's screenshots is that the screen doesn't use that much battery. My RAZR would sometimes draw 46%. I'm sure that also contributed to the heat. smh.

I'm currently in the design step of a case that uses tubing to disperse heat at the top corners of the phone to cool it down and keep heat away from the hand.
If you'd like to give input shoot me a pm and we can discuss it further.
OnT: I very rarely pass 24c on mine, then again I never game on my phone either. Highest I've hit was 42c during some testing.

Are you guys talking about battery temps or cpu temps?
Get the app CpuTemp from play store, it overlays cpu temp while you're doing whatever, enable only the top two options, enable overlay and start on boot.
Then get stability test app and run the first option at top, classic test.
Then report back here with your temp after you do the stress test for about 27 seconds. I hit 66c after 27 seconds.
Curious to see what everyone else hits.

My G2 gets also around 55°C when using the phone normally (youtube, browser, etc.) and over 67-68°C while gaming. I think this is normal for a high frequency 4 cores CPU. Right?
Hey, I received my LG G2 yesterday and i've been experiencing cpu temperatures of:
42-48C being idle
52-59C during browsing, facebook, viber etc
62-64C when on youtube (after the first 5 seconds)
65C when on gps
As for the stress test after 1:20 and up to 20:00 it was around 72-74 C
The phone feels hot all the time though with no apparent reason.
Screen brightness is set to 30% all the time, 3g connection is off and I only keep Wi-fi on. I even tried turning off features like gestures, I don't know if it is of any relevance.
Of course I haven't trying gaming yet, since I'm not really interested in it, but I want my smartphone to be functional without burning up.
Should I return it and ask for a replacement? Or is it an issue with LG G2 or Snapdragon 800 generally? Will it be a waste of time?

❄ The LG G4 TEMPERATURE THREAD ❄

We all know why LG choose 808 over 810, now let's see the results of their choice:
Here we'll talk about the G4 operating temperature.
Try to indicate your ambient temperature, model, display brightness, app(s) used, your cpu utilization (I use cool Tool for it), and of course temperature (for that purpose I use Cpu Temp wich basically reads bms sensor of Cpu-z in overlay, and Cpu-z itself) ;
Remember to distinguish battery temperature from cpu sensors temperature and if using cpuz remember that temperatures are very sensitive to time so measure it only while performing the task wanted.
Keep it as scientific as possible
*I forgot to mention that CpuZ has an erroneous C to F conversion. So keep it in °C to be accurate
There is an intersting heat comparison HERE on Android Central to begin with
Good idea. Do note that CPU-Z seems to have a bug where it converts temperatures incorrectly from C into F, in the Thermal tab. From what I've seen, CPU-Z should be set to display in C, not F, if you want accurate readings.
To see the issue, check the temps, including in the Battery tab, then in the Thermal tab. For me, in C, the Thermal tab numbers seem reasonable, and the "battery" line in Thermal is close to the temp shown in the Battery tab. But change the units to F, and the Thermal tab suddenly reads the battery, and everything else, too-high by about 30F. The temperatures are not converting properly from C to F, the displayed C and F values are not equivalent. This conversion issue appears using CPU-Z on my last phone, as well.
So if posting CPU-Z temps from the Thermal tab, I'd suggest setting it to C, not F.
Thanks, I forgot to mention it, added
What's the point of this thread? This isn't a PC, it's not like we can do anything about the temps.

That is where you are wrong. It's called we can hard mod the phone for better temps.
Total newbie question, is the temperature you're feeling on the hand the one from the CPU, or the one from the battery, which is closer to the hand?

It should be the battery because I notice my phone getting warm pretty often and I have a widget for battery temperature which tends to go up to around 38 °C often. I didn't check CPU temperatures but I don't think the CPU is heating up too much.
82 F - sitting on the desk doing nothing but looking pretty. VZW, brightness at 0% and Auto.
All these freaking temperature problems will be resolved in a few months when the freezing winter arrive xdddddddddddddf

Lol, no, you can't.
At least LG choosing 808 instead of 810 due to hear issue was the right choice.
https://youtu.be/HltGLYZLySs
Take a look at a link above, SD810 might have upper hands during cooled state but that changes quickly throttling down below SD808 specs. SD810 potentials are pretty much obsolete and probably will never run on full more than 5 minutes.
SD808 is holding its speed even running hot. So I wouldn't really worry about hear part for this phone. But I'm with some users here. Few software updates will iron out some heating problems.

I've noticed that phone is getting hot when charging even if the phone is in standby. I'm getting around 40-44c.

That's low for charging honestly if your referring to cpu temp. Most phone cpu temps stay around 25-35 idling and mid 40s when just doing simple scrolling and small tasks. 60-70c is fairly normal on heavier tasks and games. Kernels usually don't even start throttling until the cpu gets in the70-80c (generally most start shutting down cores at 80).
That being said, my G4 is one of the coolest running phones that I've messed around with. CPU-Z usually says that I'm in the low 40s even on some heavier tasks. I know that my Note 4 gets much warmer, much faster. Heavy web browsing for example will have my N4 in the upper 50s low 60s. The G4 stays pretty stable in the upper 40s low 50s. I'm happy they chose the processor that they did honestly. Stays pretty cool compared to the competition.
you can even mine cryptocurrency on this beast for hours on a normal (here normal) 27-30°C ambient temperature, and the battery gets to 44°C and the CPU gets into the 50s.
This phone has one of the BEST thermal management I've ever seen. I was a nexus 4 user, so you can see how much i was struggling.

I don't pretend to be rude, but that information is outdated and inaccurate. I don't know how the other manufacturers are doing with the 810 to be honest, the Z3+ is sort of new and I've been checking the threads but there's too early to judge so far, it happens that I do have an HTC One M9 up to date, stock and unrooted and I've noticed several improvements through updates. Considering my daily usage I didn't feel this was matching with what I experience in real life, so I decided to redo the test on the video. I ran AnTuTu benchmark 64 bits version 4 times in a row, and left an average of a minute (sometimes less, once was a bit more cause I took the wrong screenshot) between tests. The attachments were uploaded in chronological order, you can also guide for the hour displayed from the device.
Now besides the video only runs 4 times, I did notice it was holding every couple of tests and then decreases, so I decided to run one more for the sake of pure testing and check throttling behavior, and surprisingly the fifth run gave me an increase on the score instead of lowering it further.
I didn't find a dedicated benchmark thread on the G4 forum, unless LG had improved a lot the 808, and based on the several benchmark results you'll find across the internet, including the ones in that video, looks like even throttling snapdragon 810 holds as an 808 in worst case scenario.
About heating problems, if I'm providing a success case scenario with a more troublesome chip like the 810 is, I'm completely sure the 808 will be fixed in time
phone gets crazy hot when running Periscope
it even shows that hot temp message / stops charging
try broadcasting for 5 mins
Intersting comparison between M9, S6, G4, Droid Turbo heat dissipation HERE
Periscope heats up the phone like crazy!
I too have had issues with the device getting very hot on the top half of the screen. Tried a couple of factory resets but it didn't help. Even reset one more time and kept it stock after a few hours same problem. Took it to the AT&T store and of course it was behaving fine. Luckily the rep knew me and accepted I knew what I was talking about. Swapping mine for one first thing this morning when their new shipment comes in. Will update if issue persists or not.
Wish I would have done it 3 days ago. Might have been snagged another battery and leather case lol.

Galaxy s8 Gets Hot

Hi i bought the device two days ago and whenever i use it (i start opening Facebook, instagram, WhatsApp and other apps) it gets Pretty warm in the right side or the screen and behind. The CPU reaches 50 degrees and sometimes 55 and the worries me. What should i do? Is it normal or should i return it? I previously had an Honor 7 and it reaches the same temps but it doesnt feel that warm at the touch, it Just gets warm in the bottom left corner.
the temp while i'm typing is 41C, outside its 33degrees C and inside(where i am now) its 24degrees.
I do not believe this is normal whatsoever. My S8+ has been one of the coolest-running Samsung phones I have ever owned. You might want to return/exchange it if that is possible.
I have not used/tested with any apps to determine actual Temps but it never gets hot. It gets warmer but not very hot (like my S7 Edge did) when using Gear VR.
Have you done the simple things like closing all apps & rebooting? Clearing cache, etc? Maybe some app is "stuck."

Yes i tried everything
After how long of using these apps does it get warm, right away or after 5-10 minutes?

I would say 5mins. Now it gets maximum 48 degrees in the CPU but i feel the screen and the body Pretty warm... Maybe it's me... I don't know. Feel free ti suggest me what should i do
it is absolutely not normal
my first device share the same issue with your's
well i ask for a exchange, the new unit just go to 45 when running games, most of time it wouldn't even reach 40 degrees
but
new device came with new problems, red tints, home button problem
it's up to you
ask for replacement until you'er satisfy with it
I would get an exchange(Yeah right the real me would hold on to it until it melted because i'm lazy). So far this is the coolest smart device I have ever owned. Even when playing intense 3d games and emulators it only warms up a little.
Thanks Guys! I'm going to return it on Monday.

If you're constantly scrolling and opening posts the phone will get warm, Facebook isn't exactly a battery friendly app, but if you're stuck at a post and reading it for a while it shouldn't get warm, it really depends how you use the phone. I can get my phone warm using twitter too. My friends z5 with the sd810 gets toasty.

Mate. The CPU throttles when it reaches 80C. What are you worrying about?
I advise reading your manual, which specifically tells you that the device will heat up with use and the heatpipe is located on the top right section of the phone x)
The reason why it may feel hotter than your previous (?) phone is because the metal rim (and whole body) acts as a heat spreader and the heatpipe connects to it with a thermal pad.

Trueee ?
Cpu temps keeps spiking up and down on any device that actually has a cpu.
What you need to look for is battery temp and not cpu temps. I consider battery temps a more steady measure of over heating rather than cpu as they dont spike.
Eitherways heavy bad background apps will make any device hot. Now if your just browsing on chrome with no background apps and your device temp ( battery temp ) is around 40c in a 20c room thats when ill be worried and exchange the device.
But hey thats just me
Gd luck !

i also have the feeling that the phone get's warm. G950FD
i received yesterday, and im comparison to my OP2 this one feels all time warm.
just looked at the battery temp and it's @ 35,8°C... i will look out for the temp, and see if it changes

Any way to disable the automatic over heat screen dimming?

Is there any way to disable the automatic over heat screen dimming? I'm tired of the screen dimming in the middle of my game.

Sorry but if it's overheating then it's a safety feature.
I'm sure you wouldn't prefer to be playing whilst you're phone is on fire.
I'm short, no it cannot be disabled, which I'm glad of as people would just point their finger at OnePlus.
*removes screen overheat dimming"
after 20 minutes of heavy gaming screen dies
*blames oneplus saying very bad phone bad quality etc.*
been there, seen that. to this day many indian users remove thermal configs on their oneplus/xiaomi devices and eventually ends up with dead batteries, ghosted screen, hell some just burn their phones (x3 nfc)
Cool the phone. A fan on it and/or a damp microfiber cloth. Avoid overheating the device.
It's possible for hysterious to cause the thermal protection to fail to adequately protect the device especially in direct sunlight.
The display's thousands of semiconductors are vulnerable to thermal damage, not just the chipsets.

Yep was thinking this too.
Slap a nice big heat sync on the back of the phone.
Problem is the battery is still going to take a massive hit every time anyway.. so you can't win really

Meh, yeah pretty much born to lose
The problem is the long game jerk off sessions on a micro laptop with very limited heat dissipation.
Limit to 5 or 10 minutes or use a gaming PC.

Turn down the brightness...
its not like i leave it dim when it automatically dims., i raise the brightness right away and do this until im done with my gaming session. Phone doesnt catch fire. Thanks for the thermal tip.

It's getting around a 100F ambient here, I use a damp microfiber cloth plus fan when charging and otherwise as needed.
I just watch the battery temp as the chipset runs cool (>120F) for browsing.

That's insane... Have you under locked or played about with CPU speeds? They don't always stick but may help.
I've seen a difference.
Are you using a case on your phone?
It'd be nice if a cooling vent was possible so we could point a solution at it, almost like a latch then have a pass through fan.
Or even plug in and stop using the lithium battery, that should eliminate a bunch of heat.

A stock N10+ snap running on Pie, brightness 30-40%, power setting: optimized, it's in a Zizo Bolt case. Optimized; no cloud storage, wifi, Google play Services, Playstore are normally disabled, and no social media apps. When I first got it it was a hot running power hog... a real menace.
At >95-98F if streaming vids* I need to cool it or give it a rest by browsing after 20-30 minutes. At 100F ambient that's getting near the 102F limit I try to stay below on the battery for best lifespan. That's what's limiting me, not so much the cpu core temp.
It's a clean running machine that's gorgeous, and gets good SOT. Samsung has given me zero incentive to upgrade it... so I bought a second new one about a year and a half ago.
*streaming vids uses almost twice the power as just surfing on the browser. Watching downloaded vids uses less as surfing.

It's 84F at 9AM, but should hit 104 today.
But it's a dry heat
Being inside is roughly 5° cooler by the time the ambient outside temperature peaks.
W Texas, is not Death Valley by a long shot.

It's already 91F here, the only reason it's not hotter yet was it's a bit overcast. That's burning off, no rain forecast for the next week, just heat.
I never use the power saving mode as it's a pain.
Oddly using peak cpu performance doesn't really add more speed than in the optimized mode.
Using max resolution you take about a 4-6% hit per hour. Even with 20/10 vision the difference is hard or near impossible to spot, mostly pointless to do.
Without a case the N10+ is hard to handle and would get destroyed. Not sure how much of a difference in heat dissipation no case makes as I never tested it. Not worth the risk.
The only bad thing with a case is spotting a failed swelling battery is hidden. Had that happen 2 years ago. Was very lucky the display wasn't damaged. Normally I take the case off every 2-3 months for cleaning as it attaches very little dust and dirt.
Always watch for changes in battery capacity and fast charging performance. If fast charging fails to engage or doesn't stay engaged within its normal temperature and charge % ranges it maybe a battery failure in progress. Batteries can fail at any time but is more likely to happen once a Li is degraded (80% or less of its original capacity).
This current Li has been hovering around 80-84% of it's original capacity for 6 months now. It's a little over 2 years old... I need to change it out soon. Lol, it's outlasted the OEM battery by over 6 months In all fairness though when I first got the phone it was a power hungry hog, took a few months to figure out how to tone it down. Another reason you want to always optimize a new Samsung; battery lifespan, not just for SOT/heat/performance.
Night and day difference.

Yea defo don't use qhd it's pointless..
Also wouldn't use power saver, I meant actually underclocking in Franco kernel
manager.
I knock them down a few notches, definitely helps.
Also with heat your phone will charge a tonne slower.. first step is 37c then 39 then 40 and so on...
Under 37c and you're getting the full 80 watts.
I think a case with some space In it would help with heat dissipation..
Android 12 also seemed to be much more efficient than 13, I've contemplated going back again and have done a few times.
Certainly shouldn't have to but needs must.

I'm still running on 9 and 10. Pie seems to run the best and is more functional. 10 has some nice tricks but has many dozens of new system apps for the UI. Oddly my disable list is nearly identical for both phones right now. That may change as I play with it more... but I really like Pie.
No plans to upgrade either. No malware on this phone (Pie) in over 3 years so it's relatively secure as configured/used.

The Snapdragon variants are notoriously hard to root. They also have a good vapor phase heatpipe on the SOC.
Not worth it as they run well now
