Hi guys, recently picked up a galaxy s5, and noticed it gets extremely hot.
Now I'm well aware smart phone get hot, especially when running intensive apps, but the s5 seems unusually hot. Also when I went into settings - display - brightness I get a message saying unable to increase brightness further this device is overheating
I've downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester to monitor battery temperatures.
Can anyone comment on whether their phone runs hot, and ideally let me know battery temperatures please.
Thanks
Yes, mine does (an Exynos variant), and the maximum EVER it has gone is 40 deg Celsius, with the current latest update. But with the previous update, everything worked fine. Maybe we should wait for a fix. Don't worry much, everything will be alright.
Driving using GPS (waze) + Sunny time + Charging and I think I had 45 or something, maybe 46 but thats about it.
gets to around 40 to 45 degrees celsius while gaming
So I have the Snapdragon S7 Edge (AT&T) and I use hangouts probably 80% of the time I'm on my phone. Now when I do, the phone heats up significantly and performance and battery are very effected. Even if I'm just playing a game for 20 minutes or even a phone call, it heats up pretty bad. And I only get about 3hr of SOT. So do I have a defective device or is this normal??
Can't tell for sure, but from what I've read of the snapdragon variant, if anything, it just gets slightly warmer than the exynos, which even gets just slightly warm at heavy games, so I'd say you have a faulty device :/
Especially hangouts shouldn't have any effect on heat as long as you're not making long full quality video calls.

Mine is getting hot too without hardly doing anything. I'd heard that it was going to heat up when charging but this thing gets hot if it's on just browsing the Internet. It also really overheats when taking photos. I really don't want to have to get it replaced since I'm not sure what that will do to the already long wait for the gear vr.
How long have you had your device for? Mine only heated up the first couple of days but now it's almost always cool to the touch. The only time it gets warm is if I'm using the Gear VR.
Hi
So I bought my GS7E a week ago .. I started to notice that it heats so much when I use it
I just don't know if this is the normal heat for it or not so I wanted to know from your experience
so at normal base when I'm not using it it stays at 34-35C
When I use it for whatsapp, facebook an normal light use it goes up to 37C
when I charge it it goes up to 40C
and sometimes when it's in the car on in my pocket and nothing is running in the background it can go to 40C too
that makes it annoying to receive calls or to hold it and put it next on my ear
are these temperatures OK? or is there is something with my device ... what are your numbers
Oh that seems in my opinion to be too hot, Mine is in Idle at 28°-29°, when i Use it (WhatsApp, Facebook... etc.) at 30°-32° and when i Charge it it is around 33°-35°
According to AIDA64, my phone is currently at 42c whilst charging from flat.
It's certainly warm, but at one point I saw it hit 50c when charging and using the phone at the same time.
what is the temperature when using normally not whilst charging ?
what is version is your CPU ?
I have the Exynos Version
It ranges from 33-37C
I have the Exynos S7 Edge. Mine at normal temperature ranges between 25 and 28 degrees, but can go as low as 22 degrees if not used for a bit (I have Greenify set to close all non-essential apps on sleep). If I'm doing some basic activities like texting, taking a few snaps on the camera or browsing simple web pages, it will go up to between 29 and 33 degrees. If I use it for gaming, depending on the graphics, it will go up to between 34 and 38 degrees. I've never seen it hit 40 degrees, although I reckon if I pushed it with numerous benchmarks or an hour of playing Real Racing 3 it probably would.
Temperature wise, this thing is fantastic, the best phone I've ever owned. Under ten minutes on Minecraft on my old Note 3 and it would be uncomfortable to hold. I've never had that with the S7 Edge, although I can't speak for the Snapdragon variant, which I've heard doesn't handle temperature as well.

Thank you very much for this detailed reply
thank you
Good morning,
I want to ask about your devices' temperature.
I attach a screenshot of my device's temperature in idle state, light usage.
Every sensors are around 35 degrees Celcius, battery is around 32 degree Celcius.
On surfing Facebook, Instagram, Youtube...etc it can rise to above 60 degrees & battery rises to ~37.5 degree Celcius.
The device is warm, sometimes hot (but not hot to touch) around the area of fingerprint scanner.
Is it normal? Do you experience the same?
My device is a Korean version.

Yes. Actually experiencing the same. This is also a Korean version.
It is not too crazy hot. But I think it does get warm a little to fast for my taste.

Yes, mine branded H870 suffering of extreme overheating issue. I have to turn off the device to let it to cool itself!
Your device has some kind of carrier's brand??
I have also other disappointing issues!

the same issue for me! can't be normal for a top level smartphone :/
I have the T-Mobile variant and it gets warm. But never to hot to touch. The only time it ever gets close to that is when charging in the car. I use the Anker QC 3.0 car charger so I assume that's why it gets warm. Plus the sunlight.
I've had a few glass phones and I've noticed they feel warmer than normal and I can only blame it on the natural heat dispersion that glass has. Whenever glass is warm at all it always feels way hotter than what it is. With the cooling system in place that is why you feel more heat around the fingerprint scanner and on the side of the phone it's just doing its job
Also if you are using a case and you take it off and it's super hot/you feel the heat through the case it's probably because of the case trapping heat in the phone. I almost always charge my phone caseless or with my fan blowing on it since the phone is designed and tested without cases.
Try closing all apps while it charges maybe try a new case? Turn down your brightness or something. If nothing works maybe try a warranty replacement. It's possible your cooling pipe is defective
Snapdragon phones have run too hot for a while now, this one is no exception. It's always warm or hot to the touch, even when it's idle lol.

If it's warm while Idling you have an issue with the phone
Mine too..h870ds..not hot but warms..only doing light activities..surfing web,insta,twttr..is there anything to worry about?the warm feeling arise at the fingerprint scanner and camera part..
Those who are having hot G6 Try wiping Cache in settings-storage and do reboot.
If not Format the entire phone and install apps from playstore NOT from backup you have made

Phone Speaker gets hot when full volume
The only time my phone gets hot is when I listen to music on phone speaker with full volume, for some time. The speaker area gets hot.
Other than that with web browsing, Youtube etc not even warm to touch. (Also I have a case on, if it affects anything)

The speaker will warm up but that's because it maxes out at 4w which is insane for a phone speaker other than that ive played 3d intensive apps and my phone doesnt get above 38-44 degrees Celsius. Love this phone
My phone does never get warm :/

Same issue
If you are still having issues with a warm / hot phone, I'm curious what OS / flavor are you running ? I haven't tried a custom rom yet, I'm still on stock and it takes a lot to get my phone hot.. it's even stuck inside an otterbox which can't help with the heat being cased in plastic lol.
--edit, I ask because I want to move to a custom rom but don't plan on it if it's going to make the phone hot idle !
Always cold.. Even during this hot summer it didn't get above 37....View attachment 4319732

I'm really curious to know, when everyone complaining about warming and heating up u say it barely heats even in summer.
Please let meknow, outta curiosity, i wanna know.
Which country do you live in and by meaning hot summer, how much is the temperature during summer and where do you use your phone like, Air-conditioned environment or under a fan, or just using the phone under the mentioned environment without any ventilation. It'd be more helpful for me to further raise a concern with LG if mine is misbehaving!
Hi guys my Axon 7 is running the latest update (7.1.1) and my battery's temperature is 29°c (84.2°F) when idling and the room's temperature is also 29°c, but when I start using social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat ,it gets around 37°(98.6°F)and if I use Chrome for web surfing it easily gets up to 40°c(104°F), so is this normal for Axon 7? And also if I use so heavy multitasking like downloading over mobile data, watch online videos , two sims both activated , and ten other apps open at the same time but no games , the temperature sometimes goes up to 45°c(113°F). What is your Axon 7's battery temperature in different situations?(I have no battery draining issues) please also mention the room temperature that you're in. CpuTemp app shows the temperature of CPU and battery nearly the same and I think because Axon 7 is made of metal and conductive so if the CPU get hot then the battery gets too but this isn't the case about plastic made phones. ( to see the temperature of Axon 7 go to settings/ power manager/ battery cooling)

The CPU has one of those vapor pipes that goes from where the CPU is to roughly the center of the screen. I wouldn't be surprised if that actually heats the battery. It's somewhat cold in this time of the year where I live (no more than 20°C) but the battery only gets real hot while charging when the phone is with its back upon the bed sheets or something that doesn't conduct heat. For example I've been using Chrome and XDA Labs and it's currently at 34°C.
Isn't it the same until 50°C? 40 isn't too excessive. also keep in mind that 40° will feel MUCH hotter than, say, 50 on a plastic back phone, just like you feel that a metal is colder than a piece of plastic, both at room temperature.
I'm not using a case (lost the one that came with the phone ) but I'd say that's what keeps my phone from getting too hot.
After some intensive gaming I've gotten the CPU to 65°C, but if you hold the device right the battery doesn't get too hot
But my CPU and Battery temperatures (for example on Cpu Z app) are usually the same.( In thermal section "bms" is the cpu temperature in this app) Also I don't know why the Cpu z app shows my bootloader status unknown. I have never even tried to unlock it.

You're just overreacting... The apps you are using are usually coded to work universally with as many phones as possible. Not all phones will use the same code for the thermistors or diodes for sensing temperature. For example Kernel Adiutor shows values that really make sense, for example 65°C CPU after gaming, some 40°C GPU on video playback, usually less than 35°C battery... They do make sense, and Kernel Adiutor probably needs root to get these values, while I bet CPU-Z does what it can to come up with those while not having root...
The bootloader status thing? Again, I wouldn't be surprised that ZTE did its own weird implementation of something in there, and the app isn't able to find whether it is locked or not. Why would you want to use an app to know if your bootloader is unlocked though? The phone has a big flashy warning if you unlocked it
There. That's after a bunch of video playback. Does it make sense?
Since I haven't got root access , I can't install this app. can you install cpu z and send a screenshot of these pages (System , Battery , Thermal) so that I can campare it to mine.
These are my info on cpu z after connect ing to mobile data , browsing , playing clash of clans (online strategy game),and watching 10 minutes 1080p movie.and my room temperature is 29°c.
I think that you kind of missed my point though
Having up to 50°C on the battery is not too bad, and it's not like you can do too much about it. If your CPU is binned lowest, and it thermal throttles all the time, what are you going to do about it, ask for a replacement?
40°C is not too high for a battery. And all those other sensors are probably from different points of the SoC but there aren't many ways of knowing which is which.
Thanks I got you but my friend's s7 edge gets hot really less than Axon 7 after doing the same it's still 34. And I usually don't use my Axon 7 out and I think if I use it under direct sunlight out there with34°c then it gets freakishly hot.
Man when the temperature reaches to 45°c, the battery health status changes from good to unknown.
These are the screenshots.
