Everything I see in the market is pretty much battery temp apps instead. When playing games, like Minecraft for example, My CPU (im assuming) feels like it is trying to melt its way out of my phone. I need to find out what the danger temps are and a way for me to see what the current temperature is.
After a quick search, I am guessing that the Note does not have a CPU temp sensor, is this correct?
I am worried about overheating and don't want to damage my device. It only took 10 minutes or so the other night playing minecraft to get the phone extremely warm in my hand. Any suggestions? I even locked it down to one core to try and reduce the power it used.
use tegrak o think
If you have all stock then you have nothing to worry if it burns you get a replacement. If you flashed OC UV rooted usw. Then you can worry about it.

You can check the general device temperature with this.
Will the Note shutdown if it begins to overheat or will it just burn up?

Wanted to ask the same. Also what's ideal setcpu temperature profile?
When I'm outdoors temperature rises to 44°c in fifteen-twenty minutes (when using G maps/opera mobile). I have set fail safe alert on 44°c.
Is it safe to set 50°c alert?

I run between 40 & 50C pretty much all the time. It is summer here in Oz (but not that warm this year), but I am not sure how much difference that makes.
I am using the abyss kernel with the abyss governor. If I use other governors it can go much hotter, so I do not. With stock kernel it was more like 10C lower.
at 40 to 50C all seems well (bear in mind this is the battery), and usually I get less battery drain than the stock kernel. It rarely feels hot, so I am not sure how accurate that figure is.
Hi my xz is goes high tempreture in 15 minutes. but just 3d games. and performance is faills on games. I measured the temperature of 42C.cpu gauge and i measured 45C manuel home thermometer http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif When i playing real racing 3 10 minutes to 15 minutes fps is fail
is that problem just mine?
Do I need to take the service?

I think once the device reaches a certain temperature, it would start throttling its speed. I did an antutu benchmark and was getting around the 15k mark. Everyone were reporting that they were getting over 20k. I tried submerging the phone in cold water and ran the test, and got over 20k in antutu.

It depends on your ambient temperature. Some people may live in a continent where their room temperate is lower than 20 Celsius while the rest (like me) on average would be 30 Celsius.
If you don't mind it, you could unlock your bootloader, install the Doomkernel by DooMLoRD and undervolt your device. That would reduce heat significantly.

I can't comment on games as I didn't play a lot of games on the device seeing how the battery would drop rapidly. I played casual games which didn't require a high amount of power to process. Anyways, when I am outside and turn on the GPS to use it, the phone heats up rather quickly. Even when the camera is on the phone heats up.
its not just u, its the nature of the CPU, it gets hot quick plus it in a pretty close encloser (glass and plastic) so that doesnt help with heat dissipation
Hey guys I need help here please, My nexus 6 temperature seems weird so I need to confirm with someone has the Nexus 6
I need to test the CPU and Battery temperature in 3 cases 1-out of deep sleep 2-normal usage like surfing on chrome 3-heavy usage Antutu test can achive that
You can use CPU Temp it will give you all the readings for battery and CPU in graph if you leave it running in the background
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yanyan.cputemp
It would be great if someone would help with this because I will to send the phone to Motorola UK next week for them to repair it if my phone temp is not normal
Thanks in advance

i dont even know your temp and i can tell you its normal. if it goes above 70C, cpu temp, then thermal throttle sets in. if it hits 100C, your device will automatically shut down. anything below 40C is normal when not being used. anything below 100C is normal when being used. it will all depend how hard you are pushing your cpu. the harder you push it, the higher the temps will go.
there isnt a normal temp that it should be at, when in deep sleep, when being used, and when being used hard. there are too many variables to answer that correctly. so, there is no standard temp that it should be at.

I didn't need a standard temps I'm just asking to know if my temps are normal because my phone can get really hot with really simple tasks such as surfing the internet I'm talking about 50+ for the CPU which we can say that can be normal since I live in tropical country but what is not normal is the battery temepreture which most of the time above 38 to 43 and that makes the phone hot when I'm holding it

50+ is normal. and your body temp is 37C, so your battery temp is not hot at all, but normal. your phone will shut down automatically if your battery temp reaches 60C(to cool off). the only way ive seen it reach that warm was with playing cpu intensive games while charging or by streaming a movie while charging.

samsung sets up their cpu much differently than how google does. the note 4 also has the same sized battery as the n6, but its battery lasts longer on average. google also adds in a cpu temp throttle, where samsung doesnt. and the cpu is completely different anyways.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I wanted to mention a problem with the app you mentioned:
It turns out that app you mentioned: cpu temperature is actually only reporting battery temperature! (I confirmed by observing that the single reported temperature matched my phones battery temperature and was far less than any of the four cpu temperatures reported by cpu-z).
I am curious if anyone knows of an app that will provide a trend of cpu temperature(s) over time, rather than displaying only the present-time cpu temperatures like cpu-z
Well my Nexus 6 has started getting really hot even with moderate usage. Its not like it burns my hand but it gets uncomfortable at times and it worries me.
If I'm just browsing on chrome, checking out Facebook, or playing a simple game like Crossy Roads, the phone starts getting really warm and after a while its really hot. Even when on WiFi it becomes hot. I have to close all the apps and leave it for a while so that it cools down. I don't have a lot of apps open all the time and I have a lot of memory remaining.
I can't really figure out what's the problem, any suggestions?
Thanks.

+1 Facebook application consumes extreme amounts of battery and system resources. That would be my first suggestion as well. Uninstall Facebook and see if you notice an improvement.
It would be easier to suggest something if you let us know if you are stock or have been playing with roms/ kernels and their settings.... I have seen other phones get hot with too aggressive kernel settings.....
first off, what cpu temperature ate you talking about? secondly, feel does not give you am accurate temperature reading, all its does is show you if something is hotter, or cooler, than your hand. thirdly, your phone can get up to 99C in temp. at 100C, the boiling point of water, your phone would automatically shut down to cool off. now while using your phone, especially when using the cpu hard, it will get hot. but that is normal. you own a quad core phone with a 2.65ghz cpu. do you really expwct it to stay cold?
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll try uninstalling Facebook and getting back to you. I've already uninstalled Facebook Messenger.
My CPU temperature is around 41 degrees Celsius and when it gets warm to the point that its uncomfortable is around 58-60 degrees Celsius.
In know it has a really powerful cpu but I don't always want to be holding a device that is warm to the point that it becomes uncomfortable.
Also I haven't even attempted rooting or changing the kernels so its all stock.

58-60C is VERY normal, when using the phone. so maybe a powerful phone isnt right for you.
But is it normal to feel warm? Even though its powerful shouldn't it stay cool? Is this happening to every Nexus 6 user? Sorry for the influx of questions

again, feel osnt an accurate way to kudge temperature. if your hand is cooler, the phone will feel more hot. your phones temp also is dependent on the air temp around you. as if its warmer outside, then the phone will get warmer. but yea, every nexus can and will get that warm. and at times, will get even warmer! try plugging in to a charger and streaming a movie. in this situation, ive seen my phone hit 74C. but thats normal as well. unlike deaktop computers, our phones dont have fans blowing to keep the cpu cool. we rely on an inactive way to keep our phones cooler, so its normal for the more powerfully phones to get warm, and even hot.
Try this.
I was having overheating issues. When gaming, charging, or just about anything other than the phone at an idle. I cleared the cache in recovery. That's it. I did not uninstall anything or modify anything in any way. And now I do not have those issues. Is that what fixed it? I do not know. Will it work for anyone else? I do not know that either. But, I'm pretty sure that if you can clear the cache with your stock recovery, it won't hurt anything. Maybe you will get lucky and it works. Bonus benefit, battery life improved for me as well. Maybe 20% better. I hope it helps you as much as it did for me.
Good Luck.

if you are having "overheating" issues, then you are saying that your phone hits 100C constantly and reboot? if not, its not an "overheating" issue, its an issue with you and some heat.

lol! im not saying youre lying! seriously. im just saying that the behavior that you experienced is odd, considering thermal throttle being there. i actively disable thermal throttle every single time i boot up. and i try, really try, but have not been able to reach 100C on my n6. and i run my cpu at 3032mhz high and low cpu speed. now my nexus 5 reaches shutdown very easy, it takes seconds to get it there. my n6, no matter how hard i push, purposefully, i can not get it to reach 100C. now your reboot might have been something completely different, and you not reaching thermal shutdown. but i doubt you would have known that, because you would need a live cpu temp in your status bar to see if you hit thermal shutdown. and i doubt you have a cpu temp showing in your status bar. i do
If your phone is 55+C while you are not using it very intensely there's a problem.
I listen to music, watch videos, play some games like clash of clans and I never break 50 Celsius.

youre probably looking at the battery temp. battery temp is different. if your battery hits 60C, youll automatically shut down. everyone i know with a nexus 6 sees over 50C cpu temp rather often. well, depending how hard you are using the cpu, and the temp around you.

Well I can't tell you how hot it was getting. But when I played Star Wars Galactic Defender while charging it got really hot, almost too hot to hold. Although I am sure that what I felt was nothing near the boiling point of water, it was enough to make the phone restart.It got hot under the same circumstances with 5.0. Just not that hot. But after the 5.1 update it started getting much hotter. At the time I wouldn't put it on a charger at night because of the crazy heat. After the cache clearing things have been much better. It doesn't even get warm when fast charging.

Partly. Through normal operation with stock interactive governor I sit around 40-50 playing music, opening coc, etc. Phone never feels hot in hand.
When I'm idling or reading something or casually scrolling I'm always sitting 35-40 CPU temp.
Obviously if I crank it up and lock to 2.6GHz and run some CPU stresses I quickly get up to 75C :laugh: but that isn't normal operation. Relaxed operation when the CPU is idling should sit pretty low.

using the cpu lightly or it just sitting there wont get it hot at all. listening to music is using the cpu very lightly. if it gets hot just sitting there, then that is a problem. thats usually caused by a process getting "stuck" and the cpu staying a 100% active. so the heat in that situation would be a symptom, but not the problem.
