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?

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".

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.

Hot phone or hot battery?

My phone gets really hot so it the battery or the phone. And what is a bad temp for the battery. I want to keep an eye on it when it gets hot. Now it gets hot mostly when im on 3g.

I know I get a really hot phone at times. Playing dungeon defenders or watching netflix, I've actually had my phone lock up a couple times with extended use. Had to pull the battery (Using the extended battery) to reboot. When I had the back off, the battery was warm, but not hot. Almost all the heat was coming from the bottom left corner of the phone (Assuming thats where the processor is).
I've got the clamshell case/holster combo I use, so i figure the case is holding in heat and making my problem worse.

My phone gets a little warm too, but it'll usually cool down when I'm not messing with it. If you have a lot of social networking apps or things running in the background updating automatically (push vs 10, 15, 30, 60 min) then it can get warm.

I only have two social apps updating and only every hour. Its seems that it does it when in on the enternet and checking my forums app. But even then im only on them for a few minutes. I think it get too hot to quick. I can handle some heat but not that much. Im just to figure out if I need to take my phone back for a new on. But im going to wait a few more days to see if it settles down.

My phone seems to run pretty warm, however the temp is only 38 degrees, which is well within acceptable limits.

Yeah, my phone is hot. Oh, you mean temperature-wise? Sorry, I was thinking sexy hot as in the design.
For real though, it does get hot, but rarely. Only does when I bluetooth tether internet while charging at the same time. Otherwise, it runs pretty cool (and still sexy).
Yes, I just called my phone sexy.

Try taking the sim card out. Mine would get pretty hot before, but ever since, it hasn't gotten near as hot. Even while playing Dungeon Defenders.

I have a battery widget with the temps on it so I can keep an eye on my temps and even though I did not use my phone that much to day it still got up to 107 at one time. I was on 3g with full bars. What's to hot ? Now im sure its not the battery getting hot but the bottom of the phone. So is that just as bad or is that ok?

I believe that's where the processor is. And I think it can go easily 10-15 degrees higher than the battery without an issue. I think. Not 100% on that though.

Fried battery?

I was using a wifi tether on my phone running PCForce's CM7 and my phone restarted (it was connected to my PC via USB) and when it came back on it said "Charging 0%" and whenever I unplug it it switches off, never seen this before but it seems, to me, like the battery has been fried anyone think the same.
I also have a spare battery that works fine, which also tells me that it is some problem with the battery, and running a wifi tether can heat things up a bit which brought me to that conclusion.
Anyone wanna throw any ideas on if its possible to fix it, I am now using the battery that came with the phone but it has a crack near the contacts which doesn't fill me with confidence.

try with 600 mHz it solved the problem for me

With mobile data and Wifi tethering enabled, my phone can get up to 52 degrees celsius in some cases without charging. I usually turn the phone off and take out the battery for a few minutes for it to cool down. I guess a temperature that high is caused by overclocking. I'm not sure if its damaging or not but I do prevent progression of operations in that temperature.
I also have a crack on the battery. Had it for a few months now and no problems so far
How 'cracked' is it?

Its only about half a centemeter long, and it only seems to be affecting the case, but got a replacement last year (was the repacement that got fried)
Havent tried it with andreas's advice yet but I will

I don't think the crack will be that much of a problem. If you want, you could take it to someone experienced just to be sure.

It shouldnt, but I like to be sure lol.
Also setting to 600MHz didn't help, guess i'm stuck with my stock one for now.

wow, good job. Yep, mine charges up to 100% before the crack. After that battery hardly charges up to 97-98%.

I have crack to, but battery go to 100. Btw, i glue mine with tape.
Sent using Tt.

my battery didnt passed 99% but i do wipe battey and solved the problem

well it's look like the rom's fault,change rom maybe work

My battery cracked as well, but it has been dropped a few times...
It is a real shame because my previous LG phone was the LG Viewty and that was an amazingly well built phone. Cost ~£100 and came with an amazing camera and 3G front facing camera too. Shame it didn't have android. So I don't know why LG decided to go really cheap on the build qualities - you'd think having cracked batteries would have come up in their design tests but they probably didn't care...

I got the same trouble...

My batery works about 1 day with deep sleep and oc 744mhz ;d

Will your ONE get warm somtimes？

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

Really ？ You are the expert on this. so it works for yours？

and yes those temps are perfectly within the normal operational range, in fact better than the HTC One X
dont replace otherwise you might end up with worth units, its a fact of life
this is what i reported in my review
The HTC One metal back plate did get warm, but never hot, it was clearly getting warm but quickly dissipating the heat

Thanks. As for one x it is in heavy usage it will be hot, but surfer the web can not feel hot.
And for GS4 it is strange I went to shop to play the demo module which is always in charger, but I really can not feel the hot in back.

mate due to the metal plate you feel it more, but for your machine its actually better since heat is being dissipated

I like it when she gets warm, that means shes exited to have me holding her

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?

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.
