How hot does your N1 get?

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..

off topic, how the hell do you take a print screen on android?

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".

Yea thats the app I used. It's great, helps me keep a track of the temperature and when I unplugged it after I restart. I'm using the Pro version tho..
Yall eva had screen problems when it gets so hot?

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.

seriously..try frying an egg on it lol.......

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.

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.

Temperature Setting on the Battery Widget
My HTC battery widget shows the temp in centigrade. I could not find a setting anywhere to change it to Fahrenheit. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yes. There's a reason that they made the backplate out of aluminum and not plastic.

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.

Atrix HD has been getting HOT lately

I've had this phone for nearly a year (8 gb AT&T version). It is completely stock running Android 4.1. Lately, the phone has been getting extremely hot with even low to moderate use, to the point of having to even stop using it for about 15 to 20 minutes to let it cool down. and the battery seems to be draining a lot quicker than it ever used to be (5 to 6 hours).
When looking at the battery stats, it says that "Android OS" is eating up most of the battery, which seems atypical to me; usually its the screen that eats up most of the battery.
So is there anything I can do to fix this? I know rooting and installing a custom rom would probably help the battery life, but because the device is still under warranty I don't even want to take the chance with it, because my contract expires in October and I don't want anything to happen to my phone in between then.
Like I said, the device is still under warranty so is overheating/lower battery life a plausible reason to get a replaced phone? Also, would I have to go through Motorola to do this or through AT&T? Any insight is greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Battery is a reason and I'm sure it overheating is also so if you do in fact have a warrant and don't want to run a custom rom I'd bring it to att.

I remember when I was on a road trip my HD got extremely heated to the point where the phone itself wouldn't let me do anything (error message saying the phone was overheated) Maybe you life in a hot place? That was my issue at the time. Excessive use?

Have you been using the stock charger?
I agree with echofiive. I've noticed the overheat warning when ambient temperature is very hot.
I'm not sure your condition would warrant a replacement though

I live in New Jersey, so its typical summer weather but I don't think the weather is the cause, it just gets really hot from normal use. I'll give an example, I was sitting in a car a couple days ago (not the driving) and was bored so I decided to play some candy crush. I played for maybe 5-7 minutes until the phone got too hot to even touch. I never got any error messages or anything but I had to put the phone down because it was too hot. I also checked that the battery went down about 5-6 percentage points, just for playing a simple game for 5-7 minutes; candy crush is not a very demanding game like some 3D games are. the same thing happens when i'm just using the phone on facebook/twitter/browser etc. for around 10 straight minutes, I end up having to put the phone down. I was never having this problem before which is why I am concerned and my warranty expires in less than a month so I want to try to get a replacement before the times is up.

Yes I use the stock charger with the stock cable. I occasionally charge on my computer, but thats only once in a while. And even though I haven't gotten a overheat warning yet, I'm sure if I used it for just a little longer than I usually do I could probably get it (and burn my fingers in the process). Wouldn't that warrant a replacement? The phone obviously isnt supposed to get that hot that fast, and the battery isnt supposed to drain that fast as well.

Hmm, the problem seems to be battery related then. Some sort of short between terminals?
I guess you could take it down to the store and explain the situation. They'd probably have to open it up to have a look. I have a feeling that by swapping a new battery it might get fixed.
And as for battery usage, my Android OS is also consuming more battery than the screen so that really isnt a valid indicator. Im not sure exactly how hot your phone is getting because a warning message should pop up on your display.
Let your phone completely discharge till it switches off. Then recharge till it hits 100%
Try this cycle atleast twice and then use it and see how it works out

Yeah I'll definitely try to do a few power cycles. I may be able to get bette battery life that way. Not sure if it will help with the heat but its worth a try. And I will probably still go to AT&T just because I still have warranty so I might as well give it a shot.
Maybe its just too hot for my general comfort, maybe thats normal for a dual core phone, it just seems hotter than usual. I do have a case (that I usually dont use) that I can put on to maybe make the phone not feel as hot while I use it.

Moto x heat issues

Hi,been on moto x for 20 days loving the phone,althogh i have a query regarding phone heating.whenever i charge the phone,phone nd charger get super hot and im kinda scared it would damage my phone,so i charge for 1 hour only,do your phone also geta hot.

I don't know, I mean OP is in Delhi, India, which is pretty hot, I am in Calcutta, hot here too, but still I can say after Galaxy S2 this is the coldest phone I have ever got. I mean yesterday I was charging at 1500 mA and playing Riptide simultaneously for more than an hour but still the heat was very manageable. On S4 while I charged that phone forget about gaming I could not even hold the phone to my ear in case of a phone call, it was that hot (the earpiece) that it seemed like it would burn by ear!
So I have zero complaints about the heating issue of this, because from my POV there is none. Also I am Overclocked at 1.9 GHz. So I really wonder when I see these heating issues, maybe different batch, don't know.

To be honest im at office which is centrally air conditioned and i charge my phone there in like crazy cold (our facilites manager suck ) and still its hot and i have been android user for quite long and i know what is normal hot like all android phones are and crazy hot . . do you guys think i should ask for replacement

Well there are two ways to look at it. AC is on, and you saying crazy cold, so I am guessing below 25°C, and if ambiance is that low then when you touch the phone it will feel hot, cause when the phone is being charged the battery will definitely reach 35+ degrees, so anything higher than ambiance will feel hot.
From another point, if the ambiance is low then phone should not reach high temperatures, so it should not be hot.
Maybe use the phone in normal conditions? At around 30°C and check if you still feel it hot? If you still do then definitely ask for replacement.

Hi guys got my Moto X a week back... I was just wondering the optimal temperature range for X. I am usually getting 34°-39°C in normal use without using any heavy apps. Even when I use whatsapp or open play store this is the normal temperature range is 35°-39°C. While charging it goes upto 42°-46°C. I just want to know whether its normal for you guys as well. I also played reptile gp2 which can't be considered a very heavy game. The temperature clocked was 46°C.
Are all these temperature range normal. Please suggest if I should go for replacement. I could easily get a replacement since the phone is not even a week old.

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the LG V20 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

What heat? The battery gets a little warm while charging. Once charged it reverts to room temperature.

i did a test. now the file got corrupted (because i used both, horizontal and vertical mode) so,, if i get to fix it i will upload it IT last about 3 hours playing 1440P videos, but the battery warmed upto about 41-42C. If the corrupted file doesnt fix, then im going to do a 1080p video and see how long it last.

Warm, similar to S7 Edge
I know Samsung is getting heat right now, but the LG did get warm when doing the initial download and setup. Not hot, just warm. During charging using AIDA64 I saw temperatures around 50c at times, and the battery temperature was up to 36c. This is similar to the temps on my S7 edge. I was not doing a fast charge, just using a regular wall charger with the included cable.

This phone is perfectly fine, and does NOT heat up any more than the average smartphone does. No need to worry about anything here...

I haven't noticed any heating at all, Even when setting up.

It only got slightly warm during set up, as it was downloading over 90 apps from my google account backup. I dont think we have to worry about heat with this one.

Mine got a little hot when gaming for a while but that's any cell phone.

Mine didn't hear heat up using lg backup surprisingly. Mine barely has any noticeable le temperature increase during charging. Haven't tested a heavy duty game yet. Done some heavy file transfers over wifi and screen mirroring. No heat.

Just got my v20 a week ago and this thing runs cold all the time. Im coming from a HTC 10 and it's quite nice. My HTC 10 would get hot enough while charging it or playing a intensive game it needed to be stuck in a case or it would almost burn me.

My V20 was running hot, over 102°f
I had 32% battery life when I pulled the battery and waited 2 mins before I turned phone back on. When I turned phone back on, I was at 18% battery life and it's still declining as I'm writing this. WTF???

Same here, had it since it first came out and never had any heat issues with it. I swear these manufactures release updates and cause our phones to start acting up wherever they release a new device. It started happening after the G6 was announced and I received an OTA update for bug fixes! Bug fixes my ass, they just want us to buy a new phone!

Actually I had this problem a week ago. I had an LG V10 before that did the same thing then a few days later fried. I had to return it for warranty repair then sold it. Fast forward to an LG V20, love it had it for a few months then suddenly it was draining battery fast and getting hotter then normal. I downloaded a few battery apps to help me trace the culprit but to no avail. Finally one day I just powered it off for about 2 hours and it has been back to normal since then.
Very strange and got me a bit worried about another chipset frying or another bootloop... lets hope not.:good:

Not much heat
I've had a v20 H990N for a little over a week, coming from a G3 (3 years without any issues until it died, i prefer to keep phones as long as they work). I have played asphalt extreme for at least an hour straight a few times on wi-fi, with the screen between 60-70% brightness and have not experienced anything except minor warming.

Need to follow your update cycle, getting phones and keeping it until they stop working. I have so many phones that I've collected, I used to switch out just for sake of changing phone shape etc.
I'm on v20 and intend to use it until it dies.

I does heat much more than expexted
