So far my record is 108*F and thats browsing the web, on a bluetooth call for 58mins, music and talking on aim. After typing up this thread my phone went down to 106.3*F. I realize this cannot be good for the phone but just wondering how high these temperatures can get? So I'm curious, just how hot does your nexus one get? whats your record..

ShootMe app from market.
There was a thread like this earlier...but my record (heh) is 51 celsius. Which is a little above 113 fahrenheit. It's really kinda scary when it gets that hot...
I don't think the phone gets damaged until it gets quite a bit hotter. However, it does significantly reduce your battery life if you continually use it at that temperature.
With a charging profile on set CPU, the hottest my phone ever gets is if im lying in bed browsing while playing music via wifi, and hiding under the covers (so like 30C ambient xD). Even then apparrently battery doesnt peak above 35.
I notice its mainly the 3g radio that gets hot.
What app is that battery thing?
Mine's been as high as 117F while charging and playing music over 3G, texting, browsing, etc.
my ph
my phone got REALLY hot
It was on the car doc on cyanogens 5.0.6 Rom
my phone always ran hot on his Roms for some reason but
I was driving using gps and talking on the phone for 45mins on the call and using gps for 2 hours and when i got there my phone was 122 F and the set cpu app lowered my cpu
after that i called google and they told me that's not good and they don't know if it should get that hot and there find out and let me know
well after i changed to a different rom i never had that problem ever again
P.S my phone always runs around 100F on the doc when using gps and calling people but i open the window to get some air on it and i have never had any problems since
it was his Rom i know that sounds crazy but it was
but it wont F your phone up because mine is perfect
My phone runs a lot hotter then im comfortable with, and the battery app in the OP is called "Battery Indicator".

Anyone think the heat will shorten the N1s life?
The battery. Everyone should get a spare battery for the N1 lol Once the webstore closes down you might find the battery in a retail outlet for...oh I don't know...but certainly more than $25.

The highest I've hit was while watching a 2 hour documentary on Google Video, and the temperature peaked at 45C. My idle temp seems to be 25-28, and light usage puts it no higher than 32 degrees.
Wish I had checked the temps when I was finished driving 30 miles today using bluetooth, in car dock charging, with GPS, and running data and making a few calls...it still wasn't THAT warm, though.
On a semi-related note, the hottest I've seen my GPU in my computer get is 115 C. Just an amusing thing I remembered upon reading this thread.

Nononononono, the phone is hitting ~ 110+ Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to be uncomfortably warm. The GPU hit >110 Celcius...which is more than hot enough to boil water.

I mean really hot! Normal usage is ok but when I play games or use web browser for half an hour, it turns hot (back and front, lower body). Does anyone have the same problem?
Another thing is the charging time is too long!
Here are the answers from other forum:
Yes the liquid tends to warm up at the lower back half and once that happens, theres no way you can recharge it till it cools down. Feedback from acer engineers theres a temp sensor right behind the battery and if the temp goes above 40c...it'll stop charging. I think that maybe is one of the reason Acer didnt really launch this model worldwide?

Phones with Snapdragon chips in them get warm. The Desire does it; the Nexus does it. I wouldn't worry. My nexus takes about two hours to charger to full.

I have the same problem, its very hot, im worried for the health of cpu and battery..
At least for the charging troubles, using setcpu I defined to run at 500 (around) MHZ when on charge and no overheating then, plugged from evening till morning or using gps for 2,30 hrs with charge connected. It stills warm but no overheating... Tips from EvIl rom, not mine
The lower part is where the CPU is, battery heat would be from the upper back part. Also computer USB charging is slower than wall socket charging.
To those of you who are using the OFFICIAL Google N1 car dock...
More specifically, to those of you who used it for longer periods of time (1hr+) on the dashboard, in the sun..
I know the dock will get really hot, but what about the N1? It's hard to see on the dock pics, does the dock cover the phone completely from the sun? It does look kinda enclosed, so does that help N1 to stay cooler or the opposite, doesn't allow it to air-cool?
I'll be making long roadtrips, using N1 navigation, and I worry about it getting too hot, and thus damaging the battery.
At least when you're using navigation, you only really have to worry about the GPS connection, as the 3G idles once it's cached the route (which I'm sure you know already anyway). My phone does get fairly warm when I'm using navigation + playing music for extended amounts of time, but not to the point where I'm worried about it. If you're gonna be driving for a LONG time, and don't mind the inconvenience, you can see if it still works with the battery removed, that way there's no question as to whether or not it's damaging the battery....or you could go for one of those 2 batteries for $20 deals on ebay and slam in a battery you don't care about.
TL;DR version - yes it gets pretty warm but not too bad, use spare batteries for peace of mind

Thanks for the good advice.
However, I want to know about the google car dock and how hot does the phone get while in the sun.
My battery hit 53C (or 127F) while I'm on GPS, Pandora, and the car dock positioned under the sun. I have no doubt it'll kill your battery. But I'm not worried since a spare battery is only $25. Cheaper on eBay I'm sure. At the rate I'm going I'll be surprised to get a year's worth of charging cycles on my current battery.
i took a 2 hour road trip, using navigation the whole time. pulled the phone out of the dock once i reached destination, and didn't think it felt hot at all.
It gets pretty hot for me too. The best thing you can do is use SetCPU and set up a profile so when it reaches a certain temperature have it down clock the processor.

SetCPU is not a good solution for me due to several reasons.
I was mostly wondering if the "enclosing" type of dock (the one that covers the phone completely) will keep the phone cooler, or the opposite, allow it to build up heat... that's basically the question..
I have a chinese one-size-fits-all dock that works, but most of the N1 is open to direct sun. Which I don't like.. hence, this thread.
Turn on your ac and activate the windshield defroster vent. That will keep the air temp around the device much cooler than it otherwise would be.

Technically, phone doesn't care that much, it's the battery. LiIon batteries hate heat, they degrade in heat pretty fast.

Actually, frequent prolonged heat will destroy LIB pretty damn fast, about twice as fast as when in room temperature.
Oh and my second official battery was free, I called google and they sent me one for free.

WOW! Did you just call them up and say that the battery isn't charging or something? Did you have to send the other battery back? Would be nice to get a free battery! Which toll-free number did you call?
We had a fairly hot sunny weather last week, it was almost +35C (95F), I had running Waze (nav), Online Radio, and 30 minutes later - got a phone call (phone was paired to car's BT). Well, Nexus crashed, or, more precisely - hang. I had to remove battery to revive it. Nexus was HOT! I mean - so hot, that it was painful to hold it in my hand!
Btw, idea to turn on a window defroster would not work well in my car - defrost is available only in 2 modes: 1) defrost only 2) defrost+feet warming. So, it is either nexus or me sweating
I am trying to think of adding a small fan at the back of google car dock. Shouldn't it help a bit?!
Another idea friend gave me - to use an aluminum duct tape, and stick it to the back side of the dock to create a reflective layer to protect from sun. I like it, will try today.

Well, it's not brighter then the reflection from windshield or headlights
But now I think that this thing not gonna help. Found couple discussions on Nexus support forum. Apparently, the problem is not about sun, but more related to the hard charging by the dock. Looks like that instead of regular 1A of current as desktop changer use, car dock is pushing 2A.
If that is the reason, then the only solution to overheating problem would be to not connect a power line, converting a dock into a primitive $55 phone holder.

same here i got a free battery from htc cause i am still in the one year warranty, i just told them that when i use to charge the battery to 100% it goes down to 82% percent in less than 10 minutes that's what i told them and they said that if i was using wifi or gps and i told nope ...so they send me a new battery i am still using the old battery ..and have a new one just in case......just make sure u don't even think about telling them your phone is rooted...or was cause you wont get jack.....
if your worried about the battery heating up do what others say and just buy an extra battery. im sure it gets fairly hot. i live in texas and is also something that worries me but i will still buy this car doc but place it in an area that the son will not hit it. lots of alt locations for me that will be in good eye location.
Hi all, i have stock v10b ROM with no ROOT or custom kernel. My mobile is not restarting and its not heating while charging, its heating just when i play for e.g. Dungeon Defenders for 5 minutes. Is it normal ? My phone never restarted yet but i have it jst for 4 days...
No worry, its absolutely fine. Your are not alone. Jonny walker, keep walking.
Even thought the battery caution shows: Do not exceed 40Degree Celsius. Just that you will smell the smell of 'burned' lithium when you open your battery cover.
Wahaha
After my exam, I'm going back to LG with the smell and get a new set perhaps? Hehehe

It depends on what you are talking about.
It is perfectly normal, that electronic compnents produce heat when operating. More work produces more heat. So if you play some graphically intensive games you should expect, that the phone will produce some heat.
Its ok it will heat, but after 5 minutes it is bad, i had overclocked SE X10i played this game for 3 hours and it was cold as ice... :/
That heat come from Camera or near camera my battery always got about 29-36°C
OK, my question is, if i flash undervolt kernel, can it help ? And then , i need to know how to flash back to stock, Is LG updater enough ? Or i need to flash it any special way ? If yes please give me link ^_^
lol 29-36 deg is normal.
my galaxy tab also heats up while charging.
it is normal for phones to heat up when your doing something like browsing and gaming.
and i used to have x10i also. that one has a serious overheating problem. i can't charge it during the day cause it heats up too much, the phone freezes while charging.
i reduced the overheating by using a charger that has less Output voltage;
the one that come with the box has 7+ Voltage output, i am now using a charger that has an output of 5.1V ( i got the 5.1v charger from my optimus one)
i don't know if this can damage your battery but you can also charge on your pc using the usb cable. it charge your phone slow but does not overheat it.

I don't think so it help. Under voltage affect the performance(I assume) too. The heat is not because the 'nvdia' it flaunting its power. Its because of the battery...
All i can hope is the 2.3 update... If nothing changes, i'm gonna sell this on ebay for 100usd... starting bid 1$ ==
But that super heat come from area around Camera, there somewhere suppose to be a processor i think... I think im gonna try this kernel, just need to know how to get it back to stock, so i can use warrancy when needed...
50deg? Im surprised it did not melt your phone. Lol! I have been playing lots of gameloft and tegra exclusive games but mine never overheat beyond 38deg. Use your warranty.

my friends 2x got to around 39 degrees when we were just surfing the net in 3g, thought its about 28 degrees outside as well... you think its normal ?
hes gonna play an HD movie and see if the temp is not too bad later on
LOL anything below 45 degress is fine.
46 above can shorten your battery life.
50 above can damage your battery and your system after prolonged use.
and its perfectly normal for phones to heat up while using 3G.
all my previous phones heat up while on 3G browsing.
Ill try to use my warrancy when ill have time, than ill share my experience , bcuz i bought it from Samsung CZ....
I have tried custom kernel, its still the same but my phone is now laggy at all, when i turn on screedn it takes about 5 seconds, and starting apps is really bad too, please help me how to revert it back to stock...
Over night I left my phone on the loading cable... when I woke up this morning I noticed that my phone was extreeeme hot and had a black screen of death..when I booted up I saw that the clock settings were set up to 1,4ghz although I set it to 1ghz the evening before...I just uninstalled pimp my cpu now and have no overheating issues till now.

if i were you (or any1 else to be honest) i would not even try to overclock this phone for 2 simple reasons:
1) as aremcee has said, the hack used to overclock the tegra 2 is just really dirty, he doesnt approove it, and as he is one hell of a smart guy, i have to agree with him.
2) why the hell would you need to overclock it if its already lightning fast. only for benchmark whores imo. i mean this is no optimus one which has a 600 mhz cpu. that one you would like to OC, to see some improovements lol, but not this thing.
I agree, my phone is still fast and i underclocked it on 900MHz but, starting apps , and starting screens takes about 5 seconds, and its pretty much so i all time think about its Dead or Its going to restart, ill try custom rom with underclock. BUT noone said me HOW THE HELL I CAN REVERT BACK TO STOCK KERNEL ? I ask this about 4th time...

yeah, it's a hot phone...
not nearly as bad as the Nitro, but it does get quite warm.
It's worse if you're charging while using it.
Mine only gets realy hot on the net like when downloading or when its trying to connect it the server and having tower issues and it keeps loading and loading is when I've seen it hit the 109 mark .
Yep, mine flat out quit on me and reboot itself it got so hot. I was listening to music and surfing the web at the same time for about 20 min. I felt it getting warm but figured it wouldn't be a big deal but it was. Multi tasking while charging with WiFi on is by far the worst though. I have to pace myself now.
Yep, same here. And the rebooting thing is anoying. I need to leave the phone alone with battery out to cold it out and then I can return to use it. I think this is somehow related to kernel.
I got one of those SaFPWR Fusion 2 cases with mine, with the 18,000milliAmp extra battery built in.
It seams like it gets pretty warm too when surfing the net.
Somewhat expected though, using a duo core processor with no fans.
But yeah, it seams like the heat comes directly from the battery locations.
Anyone else get this case/extra-battery?
I am glad I'm not alone I'll call cs to ask about it.

I've got one too. I'm not sure i like it. I was expecting this to last all day with heavy use but no. It was fully charged at 1pm and phone shut it self off at 9:40. I was surfing and was streaming music for about 3 hours non stop but after that i hardly used it. Not sure if I need to do more cycles on it to get full capacity but as it stands now I think I'm going to return it.
My experience is similar. I had it for a day, but the moderate gain wasn't worth the heft.
Instead, I have plenty of chargers and an external auxiliary battery for the rare occasion I won't be near AC.

I just get the one for 2days. I feel from time to time it will get warm.
When using internet by 3G it will from 32℃ to 38℃. Sometimes use camera for 2 minutes just it will to 40℃. I use Gsam battery monitor to watch temperature.
During stanby time it is normally 29-32℃. And it is very quick to cool down even it is warm. But I still want to know how others phone is.
Maybe I shall ask for a replacement.
perfectly normal, you will waste our time replacing it, these temps are normal on quad core phones so get used to it
the good use the metallic back cover will help release the heat quickly
