Mine gets hot often and sometimes I put it in the freezer for a minute and temp drops back down.
Just now, my phone got really hot, just from charging, so I put it in the freezer for about 30 seconds and it dropped 9 degrees and cooled down.

Wow. Putting it in the freezer will obviously cool it down, but will probably damage it eventually. The real question is why does your phone heat up so much? My S4 used to heat up much more than this and I never had to put it in the freezer :-/
There's of course a difference between heating and overheating -- I assume the phone will shut down to prevent damage in the latter case. My erstwhile iPhone 5 did that sometimes when it was in my car mount and exposed to sun.
TL;DR: You shouldn't have to put the phone in the freezer. Ever.

How hot is "really hot"? The casing acts as a heat sink, so it's quite normal to get hot. I believe the HTC max safe temperature is 55 degrees Celsius.
And personally, I wouldn't put it in a freezer to cool down, going from hot to cold in such a fast time isn't really good on the hardware.
Do you put your laptop or PC in the freezer too? they get much hotter than phones
I rarely got mine hot TBH - mostly when playing Dungeon Hunter 4 for 30+ minutes
But put in the freezer? Nope.
Wont a hot phone quickly cooled cause condensation problems, and eventually water damage.

Quite likely.
LOL this is funny. reminds me of the old days when we would put NES games in the freezer to make them last longer when playing.
I put my phone in the freezer, wrapped in plastic while running antutu, and got the lowest temps and highest scores I have ever seen..

Too funny... :laugh: I would recommend against putting your phone or any electronic device in the freezer because the sudden temperature shock will definitely stress the various components causing the life of the phone to decrease. Just let the phone cool down at room temperature.
The quick temperature change could crack the glass so I would stop.

LOL I do the same with food that's too hott. Wouldn't say I'd do it with my phone though. Just leave it alone for 10-15 minutes and it should cool back down fine.

Digging up an old post I ran across. Browsing the web for random input...
This guy who "proved nothing" shed a little insight into answering the OP's question.
The answer: Know what you're getting into. If you have to ask, then highly consider not doing it. If you feel confident, try it at your own risk. That said, experiementing with devices growing up, I've put a lot of stuff "on ice" (not directly of course), but again, know your hardware down to the very solder that connects it, then you'll be less likely to fug up your project. :fingers-crossed:
(plastic bag + water resistant phone... overkill, but hey, I've seen these things frozen with liquid nitrogen and come back to boot) :victory::highfive:
I've put my M7 in the freezer many times. I just throw it directly in the ice tray for about 5 minutes. The first time I got worried because it was on, and when I took it out it had frost all over it but it still works.
Hey everyone. I'm new to the Nexus 5 community, got my phone a week ago and so far it feels like ive had it for ever. Great device and so worth my limited money.
Anyways. I have been doing these methods on all my phones and so far i haven't seen anyone else trying this.
1. Speed cool your phone
If you have a heat sink from an old pc laying around (unless its one of those huge gaming computer heat sinks) it can now have a purpose again. If your phone gets hot, simply put the heatsink copper side up and put your phone on it. about 2 minutes later your phone should be as cool as it can get without using a freezer.
2. Keep phone cool while wireless charging.
I got a wireless charger recently, and sometimes the phone doesn't get hot at all, and other times it gets VERY hot (about 115 degrees F). So instead of finding the 'perfect' position for my phone to stay cool, i found that using simple cup stands or what ever they are called, helps.
You know those things at restaurants that you put your cup on? those things. For best effect, use 2 or 3 of these, put them under your phone while your phone is on the wireless charger. I think it helps because the cardboard isn't very dense and absorbs and quickly lets off most of the heat and my phone never got over 101 degrees F yet.
3. The first method can also be used while charging your phone though a wire.
Sometimes i want to watch a movie or something while charging my phone on a wire, i simply put it ontop of the heatsink and watch the movie. Might be a bit uncomfortable, so try to found a way for it to be comfortable.
Hope this helps anyone, im still working on a way to make a home made (thin) heat sink for wireless charging.
heat sink testing
So far ive built the heatsink, its about 6 - 7 mm thick using those cardboard cup stand things mentioned above, coper wire, and silicone, and some superglue. i thought tape (specifically the adhesive) would melt under heat.
So far, i have charged my phone all the way up from 20%, temeprature hit 118 degrees F (note this is wireless charging).
Currently testing the heat sink. Charging it up from 85 %. So far at 92% and max temperature is 97F but has gone down to 96F. The heat sink is pretty warm compared to the phone (the phone is actually quite cool).
If you would like to mess around with the design this is how i built it.
Took one cardboard cup plate and put a copper coil on it. I just took about 10 inches of copper wire (thin kind) and made it into a wide coil (ill post pictures later), and then hammered it to be more or less flat. Put small amounts of superglue to hold it in place. Took the second cardboard plate, and put it on top. Used silicone to seal the edge to hold. Also add some super glue to the top of the coil to glue it to the top cardboard piece.
Simply put the heatsink under the phone while wireless charging.
Pictures of heatsink
Here are the pictures.
Ill post screenshots later of the test.
I do the same thing for wireless charging. Instead of making one, I bought a set of ceramic/porcelain/granite (I don't really know) coasters. I used one coaster for wireless charging, and four more under my laptop for when it is on the counter or table (keeps it cool and above any drinks that may spill).

link to the materials? Sounds like good idea.
I have this huge granite/porcelain slab my mom uses to beak bread. i wish it wasn't a 2 foot x 2 foot size, maybe i could have used that instead.
ALSO
so far the temperatures would go up to about 99F and then go back down to around 96...i think what happens is the phone heats up, then the heatsink takes the heat, and cools down while the phone heats up again...cycle

As I mentioned, I am not exactly sure what the material is. My guess is ceramic. I had the idea when I saw them in a store.
You can find them just about anywhere, and decorated any way you like (mine are plain). Link to Amazon
The granite slab you mentioned should work just fine. I never precisely monitored the temperature, but I know its a lot cooler.

Haha like I said that slab is huge for an oven made to bake on. So if I had something to cut me a slice I would.
I was just sitting at my PC and I saw the little cardboard things and though why not try it. I tried with two and it seemed to work okay-ish so like I used my copper heat sink I thought of putting copper in between. Took me 5 minutes to make.
But I'll definitely give the porcelain a try.

I don't recommend putting anything between the phone and the wireless charger, increased distance means less power into the phone and more wasted into the air. Also I don't think the plastic case of the phone will interface well with a metal heatsink but I admire your tenacity.
Maybe log your temps with and without and compare, though you would have to adjust values for ambient room temps otherwise a warmer day could throw off all your results.

Yeah I noticed it takes a bit longer to charge but wireless charging is never actually fast as cord charging. I get about 1% ever minute with screen off and 1% every 2 minutes with screen on.

just out of curiosity, completely. whats the point of this? heat is normal, especially while charging, and does not hurt the device. for the fun of it, i reach cpu temp shutdown purposefully all the time(105C), on all my devices, for years. heat has never ever caused any kind of damage to any of my devices. as the safety temps for battery and cpu shutdown are actually below the temps that our devices can handle before it can cause any damage.

Well looks like I have the exact opposite experience than you. All the phones I've had eventually had degraded battery's because of over heating. I had phones that would last 4 hours on an old battery and 12 on a new one. And that's just from gaming and such. Now charging is pretty much directly heating a battery. Also some people don't like picking up a piece if lava.
If you think its pointless then don't do it.

Battery degradation occurs on all Li-ion batteries. Heat has very little effect on the overall lifespan of the battery. You can expect about a 30% loss in capacity every year no matter your usage patterns.

im not planning on it. as i said the very first thing, out of curiosity.
now degraded batteries that early can happen, but its mostly because of manufacturing defects. the chances of that happening more than once in a row is fairly low. but you said multiple times. which leads me to believe that theres either something wrong with your phone physically, or maybe you are doing something wrong. as i said, on my g1(s), ion, og droid, nexus one, nexus s, galaxy nexus, nexus 4, nexus 7, and nexus 7, ive never had any issues because of heat or because of battery. i do all the testing for trinity kernel, while testing i try to "break" the kernel. part of that testing is keeping the temps right under the thermal shutdown temp for long periods of time. i have yet to see any kind of damage because of this(except for me "breaking" any test kernels).

True that too. But there is enough research to support that heat does slowly degrade the battery.

You can say that again ?
Also...I notice that charging the phone bellow 80% (like even if I start charging at 75%) temps get to about 103° with my heat sink. But when it goes over 80% it starts to cool down. Still doing lots of testing and logging though.

yea, it charges "faster" before 80%, then slows down. then slows down again around 92%. oh, and that article is outdated. our batteries are a newer tech than when that article was written(2010).
Using a Wireless charger doesn't generate that much heat lol.
I don't use my device while charging it either.
I'm going to put short sentences for quickness
Bought N6 off Mobile Phones Direct. Good service. No issues.
Phone charger starts whittling.
Motorola replace charger.
Phone slowly develops symptoms of dodgy battery within 6 weeks:
Expanding battery, case pulling away, red hot charging and draining fast.
After lots of liaison with Motorola who did their best to suggest it was my apo usage they eventually take it for repair. I sent it off ' immaculate ' apart from the fault.
Despite me sending loads of documented online proof that devices like this are being replaced, the Phone comes back 'repaired' not replaced which disappointed me.
Any way I get it back a week later, and initially the phone seems better; apparently it's had a new back and battery.
However I noticed the back was not flush. About .5mm out in alignment and its slightly raised.
In addition, the phone battery gets up to 40 odd degrees when charging and at times it's not pleasant to touch, it's that hot when charging. This is how it all started in the first place!
They've offfered to take it back 'again' and do a ' sort this once and for all ' repair.
I just feel hard done by here. The phone was brand spankers in April and 3 months down the line it's in for a second repair and Motorola aren't even considering replacing this obviously dodgy handset.
If this second repair isn't perfect and working satisfactorily, surely I have some sort of legal rights here to demand a replacement under the not fit for purpose sales of goods act ?

40C, you do realize that a human body on average is at 37C?? 40C isnt even close to being considered hot. when charging, 40C can be considered cool, not hot. lol.
Yeh I realise this I'm just saying that the CPU temp app suggests that temp, but to touch the phone is red hot. Like a cup of tea after its been sat for 10 mins Max.
Thanks for the condescending tone though.
Red Hot suggests burning your skin off. Red Hot would melt the device.
The device is going to get somewhat hot. Not red hot as you suggest.
If that were the case, you would easily be able to separate the glass from the LCD and also pull the LCD from the frame.

unfortunately, feel isnt an accurate way to discuss temperature. all feel does is show you whats warmer or cooler than what you are feeling with. and that has nothing to do with my tone towards your issie, it just is what it is. i read people complaining constantly that their phone reaches 40C(lol). well, guess what, it can get much hotter normally, up to 100C, thats 212F, or the boiling point of water.
i feel bad for you about your issue, but that happens. but 40C when charging has nothing to do with it.
I'd send it back for the second look-see, since you feel that the back is out of alignment (picture, please?)
I'd offer that the heat issue doesn't seem extreme for a phone, depending upon how it's being charged (e.g., fast charge). Also, do you keep this in any sort of case, perhaps?
I've actually never used the Motorola charger, instead I use a USB 99% of the time. I do recall reading about battery issues with a minority of folks who used the fast charger, so perhaps that's what you initially hit?
- ooofest
For starters the app might be inaccurate but all I know is the phone to touch is considerably hot. Heat kills battery life or increases degradation so therefore it won't be long at this rate, before I need another new battery. My point is this is how it all started and its starting again. Motorola seem quite happy to keep repairing. My simple question was where you feel I stand before claiming unfit for purpose. In a 2 year contract I expect the phone to be reliable but i have no trust in this device. I'll send it back see what they do. Probably another case and send it back.

and unfortunately, touch does not give you a temperature reading. ok, try this experiment, itll show you about touch and temperature. get 3 glasses of water, one cold, one hot, and one room temperature. put your left hand in tbe cold water and your right hnd in the hot water. keep them there for about 3 minutes. then take out both hands and put both hands into the room temp water. your left hand, which was in cold water, will now feel warm. and your right hand, which was in hot water, will now feel cool. yet they both are in the same temp water.
anyways, send it back, and a hope for a better future from me to you
Right.....Thanks for that. However I know the difference from a phone thats warm to touch and overheating. I expect warm, but I know the phone should be getting this hot, end of. I'm not the only one as well with this issue... Just do a google search. See for yourself. Clearly im pissin in the wind here.

Mobile Phone Direct in the end replaced - as I was told it fell to the retailer regardless of 28 days or not, if its within 6 months in the UK it falls to the retailer in cases like mine with faulty products. In the end, after sending the phone off to the retailer, they replaced it with a new one one, no issues - took long to get there, but I did in the end.
The new one was perfect throughout my contract. Not a single overheating issue - although it did get warm when charging (nothing like before) and the battery and back cover remain fine.
Hey there, i just recently bought an lg g6, and ive been rlly enjoying it. Recently i had to leave my phone in the glovebox of my car ( it was turned off) and the weather outside was 64c outside, and im guessing even hotter in my glovebox (my car was parked in the sun), so should i be worried about any damage to my phone, and can i keep putting it there because its the only place i can put it cus of where i work..
I don't think you have to worry. The internals of the phone itself can withstand high temperatures, with processor temperatures/battery creating a lot of extra heat, so that is factored in. As long as the screen, etc is not in direct sunlight, you shouldn't worry.
Ideally though you'd not want it to get too hot to preserve the life of the battery... but with it being "off", that may not effect anything.
An easy enough solution though would be to get to a sun visor and point the reflective side out. This will reduce cabin temperature and protect not only your electronics, but will keep your interior in good condition as well (especially if the rest of your car is tinted). Just buy a decently thick one. I use one with a nice matte on the other side. Once you get used to using one, it takes only a few seconds to remove/replace.
You can reverse it in winter to keep your car cabin from getting too cold as it will allow some extra heat in.

Yeah thank you i will definitely do that, i was a little worried about the battery and screen but it seems like i shouldnt be worried, thanks alot i appreciate it!
I would also be careful because people have reported with change of temperature the camera glass have cracked. Example is going from air conditioning into the heat or vice versa.

The brutal cold of winter isn't just capable of breaking your spirits – it can break your phone, too.
According to Apple, iPhones and iPads should be used in temperatures between 32 and 95 degrees. As cold temperatures persist and we spend time outdoors, taking smartphones or tablets with us could negatively impact the performance of those devices or cause them to shut down altogether, Apple also said.
There are other side effects on your smartphones that could be caused by cold temperatures, Huffington Post reports. If you notice the device isn't responding to your touch, or the battery drains rapidly, those are signs that the frigid air is getting the best of your phone or tablet, the report added. Once this happens, it's time to get your device to a warm spot to give it a chance to recover, Apple recommends.
For android and all devices
Cold weather means screens and internal components can become more brittle and fragile, so dropping a phone or tablet could be even more dangerous in the winter than other times of year. Make sure you have a protective case on your device, and don’t take it off, especially outside in the cold.
If you’re in a temperate region, it may seem incredible, but smartphones actually stop working around -40°F, and some at even warmer temperatures. Even moderately cold winter temperatures can make your phone or device seem sluggish. Don’t be alarmed, but try not to use your device in very cold temperatures.
Keep your device in a pocket close to your body if possible when you’re outside for a while, and protect it from snow or other precipitation. If you need to take a call outside, use your earpiece or headphone controller to answer and keep the phone sheltered and warm in your pocket.
Don’t leave devices overnight (or for long periods) in a car in cold weather. Exposure to very cold temperatures can permanently damage components.
If your device has gotten cold outside, let your phone warm up to room temperature before using; otherwise you risk condensation forming inside the device if it heats up quickly after coming inside from the cold.
Take good care of your device and you can avoid electronic frostbite this winter!

Keep your device in a pocket close to your body if possible when you’re outside for a while, and protect it from snow or other precipitation. If you need to take a call outside, use your earpiece or headphone controller to answer and keep the phone sheltered and warm in your pocket.
Don’t leave devices overnight (or for long periods) in a car in cold weather. Exposure to very cold temperatures can permanently damage components.
If your device has gotten cold outside, let your phone warm up to room temperature before using; otherwise you risk condensation forming inside the device if it heats up quickly after coming inside from the cold.
Take good care of your device and you can avoid electronic frostbite this winter!

Yes Mi phones can generate heat which can prevent you with cold... so I recommend you to buy a Mi phone if you are in a cold region but if you are in the Heat region dont go for Mi phones then there is more chance of you dying soon.
