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

if you are not joking here i think your battery is faulty
Update to 2.3 can fix it what do you think ?

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.

Nah, its true... Thats why i'm sending it back to LG...
I mean while gaming its about 50°C , and can undrvolt kernel solve my problem ? Mby for a little bit..?

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. I was really scared and thought that my phone just melted inside ..

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...
On a scale of 1 to 5. How hot does your phone run?
Normal -1
Watching movie on mxplayer - 2
Browsing on dolphin hd - 3 to 4
Browsing and charging at the same time - a good 5

Yup its gets warm while playing some games and while charging...and its only warm around the camera...and the upper part of the screen also gets warm....
anyone else..??
Are you all on stock rom? Mine is ultra hot when using and charging . . browsing especially
Mine goes quite hot whenever I do intense stuffs on my note.

I managed to get mine above 5o degrees celsius yesterday. There is an app called "Stability Test" on the market in case you too would like to get yours warm for these gloomy winter evenings
Im on 2.3.6 KK9 and it runs significantly cooler than my old SGS2. The only time its even warm is when charging and playing a game.
Same here. Charging and doing stuff makes it hot. Really scary. My hd2 isn't this hot.

I was using my Note yesterday at work with no problems. Today while I was at work I could feel the heat on my leg from the phone in my pocket! I freaked out and I find out that it heats up and powers off. I have to hold power to get it running again. Checking the temperature in "spare parts" battery info it was upper 30 degrees celsius. Sitting beside me now it's 29. Super scary. I don't want to have to return my phone. I have the abyssnote kernel with Romow rom.
I was gaming yesterday and SGN reached 56*C...

I would like to know too. Actually, I guess the upper limit of the processor would be good to know too, but too bad we can't directly access those temps since I guess there isn't a CPU temp sensor. I tried looking around through Samsung's site & CPU spec sheets and can't find anything of use about operating temperatures. While gaming and not charging mine can get up to 46c and the phone becomes quite warm/hot to the touch.
I've got FM 2.0 Kernel on Cassies Lite ROM. I have it overclocked to 1.6Ghz and undervolted each step by roughly 25mV (couldn't do much more than that.)
I'm a bit worried and actually a bit disappointed that it seems I have to limit my usage of the phone incase it goes into meltdown. I have profiles set to reduce the max clock when the battery reaches certain temps, but I'm afraid that might not be enough.
Mine can get very uncomfortably hot if charged and have GPS app running for an hour. Usually in that case, I underclock it to 500mhz, which is fast enough to run the app and play music in the background smoothly
It gets quite hot with 3D gaming over long session too, but bearable to hold in a case, but you can feel the heat on the screen, usually underclock to it 800mhz to 1ghz in this case.
Good afternoon all,
I have my Optimus 4x for around 3 days now, the phone is great in general but i noticed when using applications that require more power the phone heats considerably in the part where the LG symbol is located in the back and i think even more in the front where the screen is.
In my case happened with Skype video call (around 20 minutes) and other time playing a game (frontline commando) for 10 minutes, after it becomes normal again, but as i said i think in general when using heavy applications.
Should i worry about this? is this normal? someone else experiencing the same?
As the phone is new i would like to know if is a defect to send it back.
i have software version V10d
Thank you
Its completely normal, the Tegra chipset is just behind the LG logo.
Got to remember there is a quad core and 3d graphics package sat under there

How hot does it go anyway? Is it hot enough make you feel very uncomfortable during a call with the phone next to your face?
I have never had it get hot during a call. Only during something like Dead Trigger.
Even then, it's hot but I can still hold the phone. When you consider skin burns at something like 44 deg C, its not really getting that hot. Especially when you think it's a quad core CPU with no heatsink or ventilation.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Yes i imagined exactly that there would be the processor, of curse is not hot enough to burn but is definitively hot.
My only concern is if in the long term this temperature wont damage the screen or other parts of the phone as for example in my laptop the nvidia video card heated so much that got damaged.
do you have any idea How should be the "normal temperature", is there any app to measure it?
For example does the galaxy 3 gets also hot ?
Sorry for so many questions but im not an expert and i want to be sure i make the right decision
To answer the call question,for me just gets hot as i said when using heavy applications, i would consider just annoying in the case i received a call meantime i played (etc) and the phone was hot but not to the point to say im burning.
Thanks for the previous reply's
Tegra 3 will be shutting down when it reaches about 90_degrees afaik. Don't worry your phone won't die. Only the battery... :-\

Anyone with any update? Its been 5days since I am using p880 and it gets heated up as experienced by other users near LG logo my OS is up to date (v10e)..also I feel battery drain much faster with when heated. Anyone can confirm same?
..cause->effect, not the other way around, and so on.
But generally, a passively cooled device like this /should/ get hot on the outside fairly quickly, instead of containing the heat. On the 4x, it seems like there's a frame on the inside going around the edges that will lead heat there first. Away from the battery, the middle of the screen, that sort of thing.. Ideally that heat would then disperse without ever reaching uncomfortable temperatures. Thought they did pretty well with the 4x. Seen several tablets.. with lower heat signature than a tegra 3 chip.. end up with a few typical spots the heat ends up on the outside (middle of the screen, contact points on sim card, battery, memory card frame, stereo jack.. copper, see?), because the heat is really being contained inside the device much longer than it should.
And then people happily use the device until it breaks. I don't think that's really a problem with the 4x.
I also have this heating problem land looking for a solution. I have p880g (Canadian AWS version) with 10c firmware. It got really hot before I even finished 1 game of The Game of Life. it wasn't skin burning hot, but hot enough to be uncomfortable, similar to a laptop power adaptor. I also think that it was hot enough for the phone to start throttling. The quadrant benchmark I ran while it was hot was lower than the usual.
I don't think that this game is too cpu and gpu intensive that it''ll max out all the LG O4X's hardware. I tried this same game on Motorola defy with cm9 (overclocked to 1ghz) and galaxy tab 10.1 (stock). Both ran it perfectly fine with no heating issues.
I hope someone can help. It makes this phone's Tegra 3 a bit useless if it starts to overheat with less than 15 minutes of playing a game. If this normal and what LG intended, then will likely be my las t LG phone.
Hi guys! I have the same problem - hot phone when I'm plaing some games. My question is: How many percent of battery drain the game for 10 minutes? In my case, for example bad piggies 10 minutes = 10% of battery. I have brightness of display on 0%. So I installed app called PowerTutor (it show you how much energy drain every app) and this app said that bad piggies drain about 600 J for ten minutes.
How about you phone? Thx for answer...
No one answer?
That's ok. All cpu's are active in this game's so heating is normal.

Heating Problem Solution
After searching this forum more I''ve found a solution. The heating problems for the LG O4X is fixed with the v10f and up firmware update. This thread has more information about it.

So I have v10H (newer than v10F)...
And I dont think that bad piggies are used all 4 cores, because my friend have only one core and he plays this game smoothly.
When you play this game, prosecutes to charge your phone?

Same in my case when playing games (swing shot, death dome..etc) it gets heated a lot and battery drains like passing minutes...
I played dead trigger with NO wifi,no 2G/3G, no nfc, no bluetooh and less then 50% brightness in 30mins more then 50% battery drained. And this happened with every game I tried.
I bought this tegra3 device only for games but this heating and battery draining is making it pretty useless for game.
Any developer can throw some light please.

well, I`m on v20a official software. With v10h I had the issue of overheating when playing a flashout 3d free game - I dont know how, but thermal protection didnt work. After 5 minutes of play, I felt big heat, so I came back to home screen and at this moment my beautifull-brand-new 4XHD went black screen - no buttons worked, even keeping long pressed power...so I took out battery and re-inserted. After start the screen was shaking like it had low-refresh rate applied...I was terrified. I took out the battery for one hour and after this all went to normal. Then I updated by official LG app the software to v20a and checked that phone gets very hot with this app again, but this time I managed to close and uninstall app without burning my new phone...so I gave it a 1-star rating and a comment in google play. Now I installed some app to monitor temperature inside and I see that with nfs:most wanted after 15 minutes of game, it was at 40 degrees (celsius). I checked with other apps and I see this was max and it felt/feels very hot, though this wasnt so hot like I felt with flashout 3d.
My question to all of you 4x HD users is:
can you tell me your temeperatures? Min/max ?
I mean: I have minimum 26/27 celsius (phone in the pocket), with data,bluetooth,nfc on I had about 30 celsius, and maximum 40 celsius (when playing demanding game). Also I saw big increase in temperature outdoors with bright sunlight(I have automatic brightness on all teh time) and while having data,bluetooth,nfc and GPS on.
is anyone that already owned HTC ONE have experiencing any heat issue ?
My concern before I replace my current phone (HTC ONE X+) to HTC One is the heat issue, since my phone that running on NVIDIA Tegra3 is extremely easy to get hot. I'm not sure whether my phone have hardware issue that makes it easy to get hot, or its because the processor itself that easy to get hot when running application especially the one that need 3D graphic.
There is a game on google play store named "Beach Buggy Blitz", and I saw on the welcome screen got writed "Powered By NVIDIA Tegra". I played that game for only approximately 10 minutes and my phone already heated up so much and I cant live with it . so I wonder about HTC One will have the same issue or not ?
i think snapdragon is 28 nm compare to tegra should be cooler
I have same problem with my one x+...
Can't play any game more than 15 min.... It will get hot and start malfunction ....
Also drain battery fast after they got hot...

Like the above post HTC One's processor is 28nm(28 nanometers) so it's very2x small compared to tegra so it should produce less heat.

I thought its only happens on my phone, but then I guess its the NVIDIA Tegra3 issue rather than factory defects.:silly:
my ONE heats so much, and the metal frame behind makes its more hotter after player few minutes of games and browsing :cyclops:
It can get quite hot at times, up to 40°c but it's nothing major

Obviously, the aluminium is used as a heatsink. It'll get warm. The heat will dissipate. Not many dead.
Does the battery drop faster when hot. I swear mine does but need more time to be totally certain.
The only time I have a heat issue with mine is if it's on charge and I've been using it for ages at the same time. I'm lucky though because I invent faced any other heating situations in the slightest and especially not when I'm playing games (which I do quite a lot).
When playing games and charging it does heat up plus its aluminium so there will be heat felt. Otherwise it stays cool.

No. But a likely reason for the heat is use of battery... i.e., when the device uses energy, it is converting stored charge in the battery into heat and light.

Yes it happened to me today. I have been using the phone for the past 3 days, it got quite hot when using the camera, playing temple run and when it's hot, the battery dropped like crazy (from 30% to 11% in no time). Did I get a defective piece?
I work in a cell phone shop ( Technician Manager ) so i fix phones everyday. Most of the people on xda and the internet have noticed the nexus 4 getting warm, I myself thought so too. I did stress test's on Three devices 1.) Nexus 4, which was mine Rooted no stock rom. 2. Galaxy nexus, GT-I9250 rooted stock rom. 3.) Samsung Galaxy III, T999. Rooted running Cm 10.1 latest nightly. Out of the three I found that the nexus 4 had the lowest temperature overall.
. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus got 50-58 C, basic web browsing and watching a short clip on YouTube. 60-68 C Gaming. Game used Eternal Warriors
The Samsung Galaxy S III got almost the same temperatures as the Galaxy Nexus 45-50 C with basic web browsing and watching a short clip on YouTube. Gaming 50-60 C. Game used Eternal Warriors
The nexus 4 with basic web browsing got 35-48 C. Gaming it got 50-62 C
All of the Three Devices ran for 45 minutes and used the same Game/ video to watch.
Just Wanted to share this information, hit the thanks if I've helped you out in anyway
My Nexus 4 gets so toasty if im running Spotify & GPS nav at the same time on long road trips. (And its charging at the same time.)
Kinda surprised to see your results.
IMHO the glass on the back may feel more warm that the plastic back of most other phones because glass conducts heat better than plastic. That is possibly why this phone has the overheating perception in most peoples minds.

That's what came to my conclusion, for the glass that's on the nexus 4. Notice that I don't have it on the charge it's just on the battery. I think you will get higher temperatures when it's charging
The glass is good in a way or another. This way, it helps the phone's internal components cool down by conducting the produced heat outside.

Hi,
I agree... I had the 3 phones.
Maybe a thread that can help user about temperature or "pseudo" overheating...
When I see a thread like "My Nexus 4 is overheating, help me" it annoys me. No CPU / battery temperature indicating to see, just a "it feels hot, it overheats" or "I see some threads about Nexus 4 overheating, mine is also overheating, I read it " (it's real ).
Plus people confuse CPU / battery temperature...
Or people complain about "overheating" when playing a game or browsing while charging their phone...
Even 70°C for the CPU temperature is (almost for the the stressed people) nothing and there is a thermal protection in any case. Thermal throttling that reduces the CPU freq according to the CPU temp, same thing for the battery. And in case of extreme temperature -> shutdown.
I remember the max CPU temp for the Galaxy Nexus: 120°C before shutdown , it's not the same CPU but it can give an idea... The max for mine was about 90°C with some benchs, I see some people (simms22 if I remember right ) with something like about 110°C...
With my Nexus 4 (about 21°C room temperature):
Iddle temperature: 24 / 26°C for the CPU and 21°C for the battery
Light use after 15 / 20 mins (XDA app in 3g, homescreen setting): about 38 / 42°C (about 45°C with only XDA app) for the CPU and about 26 / 28 °C for the battery.
Hard use (browsing in 3g, Youtube, camera): about 55°C for the CPU and 31 / 32 °C for the battery (for this I don't remember exactly).
Extreme use (multiple benchs): about 72°C as far as I see for the CPU and about 38 / 40°C for the battery (maybe 42,**°C once).
Browsing while charging the battery is about 44°C and the CPU about 60°C +.
With _motley kernel, no undervolt, 486 Mhz / 1.51 Ghz, and CPU temp set to 70°C before thermal throttling.
I do agree that some people can have an overheating problem but not all the users / phones like we can read in different threads... and people that claims their phones overheats... when tey post the temperatures all is normal...
The feeling of warmth and real heat are two different things and it's very subjective to say "my phone is very hot".
Hi Viking37,
I feel fortable after reading your post.
I have been using Nexus 4 for a month on 4.2.2. and feel very bad on the heating and warm. (compared with previous Desire HD temperature)
I am based on Bateria App, showing only the Battery Temperature.
On Light use after 15 / 20 mins (Chrome or Dolphin browser on 3G): about 30 to 42°C on Battery, but i do not have CPU readings.
On Hard use after 30-45 mins (Youtube, Waze on 3G): about 30 to 42°C on Battery, but i do not have CPU readings.
I noticed i do not gets battery temp reading more than 42°C....
Hope you can advise what app you use to check the Battery and CPU temperature.
Thanks.
Hi ykit88,
You're welcome
For the CPU temperature I use System Tuner pro (on the Play Store and there is a free version), you can add a widget or download for free an "extension" to add the CPU temperature reading in the notification bar (you can set different update time).
There is also at least one more app (I mean that it works perfectly but I don't remember the name).
Your battery temp seems normal to me, it depends also of the room temperature and if you have a case (even if it does not have much influence).
@OP I don't know maybe is just because of Easter but I can't understand your first post, - is just too many Galaxies and I don't think there's Galaxy Nexus 4? But I may be as well wrong.
On the other hand phone getting hot is not an issue for me as HTC Desire used to get a lot hotter just with some browsing where you could smell a little bit of plastic

I remember the max CPU temp for the Galaxy Nexus: 120°C before shutdown , it's not the same CPU but it can give an idea... The max for mine was about 90°C with some benchs, I see some people (simms22 if I remember right ) with something like about 110°C...
With my Nexus 4 (about 21°C room temperature):
Iddle temperature: 24 / 26°C for the CPU and 21°C for the battery
Light use after 15 / 20 mins (XDA app in 3g, homescreen setting): about 38 / 42°C (about 45°C with only XDA app) for the CPU and about 26 / 28 °C for the battery.
Hard use (browsing in 3g, Youtube, camera): about 55°C for the CPU and 31 / 32 °C for the battery (for this I don't remember exactly).
Extreme use (multiple benchs): about 72°C as far as I see for the CPU and about 38 / 40°C for the battery (maybe 42,**°C once).
Browsing while charging the battery is about 44°C and the CPU about 60°C +.
With _motley kernel, no undervolt, 486 Mhz / 1.51 Ghz, and CPU temp set to 70°C before thermal throttling.
I do agree that some people can have an overheating problem but not all the users / phones like we can read in different threads... and people that claims their phones overheats... when tey post the temperatures all is normal...
The feeling of warmth and real heat are two different things and it's very subjective to say "my phone is very hot".

this. im sooo tired of telling people that their cpu temp is normal. it bugs me to see people posting that their phone is overheating at 45C, lol. someone even claimed that their 36C phone is overheating, when body temp is 37C
Very good explanation don't forgot the desire has only a single core. While the nexus 4 has 4 cores . It's only natural that it would get warm

i can barely feel the warmth of my phone at 34°C and i never even reached 40° due to uv
The really only reason why everyone has this idea of overheating is because the glass. It was mentioned a thousand times because glass conducts heat :

Has anyone felt the phone get hotter with a case on rather than it being naked?

Well, if you think a bit about it, it makes a lot of sense.

Wow,how did you managed to go to 66 C on the gs3. I,even with the charger plugged in and playing heavy games(MC4,NFSMW) i couldn't make it even to 45 C

He said t999 your on the 9300 different phones. The s3 T999 does heat up pretty quick but compared to my g2x that really did overheat occasionally thee's run cold
