To those of you who are using the OFFICIAL Google N1 car dock...
More specifically, to those of you who used it for longer periods of time (1hr+) on the dashboard, in the sun..
I know the dock will get really hot, but what about the N1? It's hard to see on the dock pics, does the dock cover the phone completely from the sun? It does look kinda enclosed, so does that help N1 to stay cooler or the opposite, doesn't allow it to air-cool?
I'll be making long roadtrips, using N1 navigation, and I worry about it getting too hot, and thus damaging the battery.
At least when you're using navigation, you only really have to worry about the GPS connection, as the 3G idles once it's cached the route (which I'm sure you know already anyway). My phone does get fairly warm when I'm using navigation + playing music for extended amounts of time, but not to the point where I'm worried about it. If you're gonna be driving for a LONG time, and don't mind the inconvenience, you can see if it still works with the battery removed, that way there's no question as to whether or not it's damaging the battery....or you could go for one of those 2 batteries for $20 deals on ebay and slam in a battery you don't care about.
TL;DR version - yes it gets pretty warm but not too bad, use spare batteries for peace of mind

Thanks for the good advice.
However, I want to know about the google car dock and how hot does the phone get while in the sun.
My battery hit 53C (or 127F) while I'm on GPS, Pandora, and the car dock positioned under the sun. I have no doubt it'll kill your battery. But I'm not worried since a spare battery is only $25. Cheaper on eBay I'm sure. At the rate I'm going I'll be surprised to get a year's worth of charging cycles on my current battery.
i took a 2 hour road trip, using navigation the whole time. pulled the phone out of the dock once i reached destination, and didn't think it felt hot at all.
It gets pretty hot for me too. The best thing you can do is use SetCPU and set up a profile so when it reaches a certain temperature have it down clock the processor.

SetCPU is not a good solution for me due to several reasons.
I was mostly wondering if the "enclosing" type of dock (the one that covers the phone completely) will keep the phone cooler, or the opposite, allow it to build up heat... that's basically the question..
I have a chinese one-size-fits-all dock that works, but most of the N1 is open to direct sun. Which I don't like.. hence, this thread.
Turn on your ac and activate the windshield defroster vent. That will keep the air temp around the device much cooler than it otherwise would be.

Technically, phone doesn't care that much, it's the battery. LiIon batteries hate heat, they degrade in heat pretty fast.

Actually, frequent prolonged heat will destroy LIB pretty damn fast, about twice as fast as when in room temperature.
Oh and my second official battery was free, I called google and they sent me one for free.

WOW! Did you just call them up and say that the battery isn't charging or something? Did you have to send the other battery back? Would be nice to get a free battery! Which toll-free number did you call?
We had a fairly hot sunny weather last week, it was almost +35C (95F), I had running Waze (nav), Online Radio, and 30 minutes later - got a phone call (phone was paired to car's BT). Well, Nexus crashed, or, more precisely - hang. I had to remove battery to revive it. Nexus was HOT! I mean - so hot, that it was painful to hold it in my hand!
Btw, idea to turn on a window defroster would not work well in my car - defrost is available only in 2 modes: 1) defrost only 2) defrost+feet warming. So, it is either nexus or me sweating
I am trying to think of adding a small fan at the back of google car dock. Shouldn't it help a bit?!
Another idea friend gave me - to use an aluminum duct tape, and stick it to the back side of the dock to create a reflective layer to protect from sun. I like it, will try today.

Well, it's not brighter then the reflection from windshield or headlights
But now I think that this thing not gonna help. Found couple discussions on Nexus support forum. Apparently, the problem is not about sun, but more related to the hard charging by the dock. Looks like that instead of regular 1A of current as desktop changer use, car dock is pushing 2A.
If that is the reason, then the only solution to overheating problem would be to not connect a power line, converting a dock into a primitive $55 phone holder.

same here i got a free battery from htc cause i am still in the one year warranty, i just told them that when i use to charge the battery to 100% it goes down to 82% percent in less than 10 minutes that's what i told them and they said that if i was using wifi or gps and i told nope ...so they send me a new battery i am still using the old battery ..and have a new one just in case......just make sure u don't even think about telling them your phone is rooted...or was cause you wont get jack.....
if your worried about the battery heating up do what others say and just buy an extra battery. im sure it gets fairly hot. i live in texas and is also something that worries me but i will still buy this car doc but place it in an area that the son will not hit it. lots of alt locations for me that will be in good eye location.
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..

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".

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.

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.

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.

Lithium Ion Batterys DO NOT like to be charged at HIGH Temperatures
After doing a heavy intensive CPU App, or playing a game and the back of the phone is getting really hot, let your phone cool off before charging
I played Plants VS zombies for an hour and the battery temps gradually rose to around 68C which is 154.4F
Let it cool before charging, use a battery temp app such as "Battery" to monitor temps
I learned the hard way on my HTC One X after letting it overheat and then charging it while it was overheating it reduced the capacity of the battery ALOT and got the Red light while flashing when charging witch means the battery has overheated
Also
Your Phone does not have any active cooling system for the CPU, it has Passive cooling witch uses the environment's temperature to bring down the temperature of the internal cpu
Your PC has Active Cooling (Heatsink + Fan)
The nexus 5 has passive cooling (Heatsink only)
same goes with just casual wireless charging. be careful
A battery dwelling above 30°C (86°F) is considered elevated temperature

Odd, Is it really monitoring the battery temps? it seems to be linked to the CPU temp and the warm part is located on where the CPU is at and not the battery.

Explain my dead HTC One X battery? Exactly not everything works as it should be.
http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/slyp087/slyp087.pdf
if the temp gets high enough the chip cannot react fast enough
or if the charge falls too low lets say 2 volts it cannot charge again because it isn't a safe charging voltage
I think he was actually saying that the charging circuit wouldn't allow the battery to charge at high temperatures. I cannot verify that but since the charging circuit prevents over draw and over charge by cutting "power" it makes sense

It will cut off after reaching extremes. You don't want it reaching those extremes ever though or it WILL take it's toll on the battery.
Battery's don't like heat. They don't like extreme cold either.
Don't think the battery will ever get to 110F as the phone will shut down/not charge at that temperature until it goes down. Therefore, you probably couldn't spoil the battery if you tried with this fail safe implemented.
With someone's personal testimony about a fried phone, I can offer my testimony that I used a wireless charger on my Nexus 4 + played games until hot + charged whenever I wanted to and the phone, which my GF uses now, isn't any worse for wear.
Especially because the Nexus 5 has a Li-Po (lithium-polymer) and not a lithium-Ion battery

Hi
These batteries don't like heat full stop, they are like perishable foods and degrade quicker the warmer they are, regardless of being charged or not. This is why laptop batteries do not do well when the laptop is used mostly on the mains, nothing to do with constant top up charging, it is because the battery is constantly held in the warmth of the running laptop all day and age much quicker.
Lithium batteries do not work well in extreme cold, but this isn't permanent and they return to normal when back to room temperature, and lithium batteries are held refrigerated for storage, just like a perishable food.
Regardless of being used or not, the battery will lose a considerable amount of its capacity just by ageing over a year or two. Given the various safety controls built in, it is fairly difficult to cause much more damage than time alone will cause, so you might as well just use and abuse the battery anyway, especially as most people will be replacing the phone after a couple of years.
Regards
Phil

110F is not safe if you want to preserve the longevity of your battery. period.

Just another example of Google cutting costs to put out this cheapo piece of %$))$!
But actually I did manage to really cook my phone! I set it (plugged in!) in a south-facing window to shoot time-lapse and oh-so-cleverly the sun bright winter sun was streaming through the thermal glass, and on to the silky black phone and...physics happened! About 15 minutes in my insta-greenhouse and I heard a strange whimpering 'ding!' from the phone -- when next I looked it had shut itself down. On reboot Dashclock was reporting "Overheat" "Not charging", and temp of 60+ degrees (can't remember the exact number but it might have been as high as 68!) Panic & a few minutes in the freezer brought it back to normal.
Take from that what you will:
1. It really dislikes being treated like a tomato seedling.
2. Idiot user didn't understand the 'greenhouse effect"
3. The phone does stop charging and goes into shutdown when things get too hot.
Before you judge too harshly, I want to point out the most obvious factor; a truly earth-shatteringly great phone would have come packed with the necessary technology to protect the phone in such cases -- maybe that would be a fan, or maybe it would be better served with a liquid cooling system, but whatever it should have, clearly Google cut corners yet again!

It ain't about the pants, it's about Google being too damn cheap to deliver truer-than-true state-of-the-state-of-the-art! Come to think of it, if Google had the balls to fill those pants we'd have the phone we really deserve!
68 Celsius is about 154 Fahrenheit. But as I said, because it was actually being cooked at the time.

When i turn the fan on at max speed. Temp increased. Things like that happen. Or when i come back to auto from performance mode. Tem goes up.

How do you measure the temperature? Was it a temperature of the CPU or the battery?
If your sentiment is not a user error or a fluke, then your unit is defective. Here's what one of the most prolific Youtube reviewers said about the fan - "it was keeping my phone 8 degrees cooler than my Samsung." I assume 8C, not Fahrenheit, because the reviewer is from UK.

Instead of admitting that you were sold a defective unit and exchanging it for a working one, you think there's a conspiracy that involves the Nubia corporation and "paid youtubers."
But hey, I'm thinking this guy is not a psychopath. Maybe it's just a user erorr.
Maybe he thinks that having a fan in the phone should make the phone feel cool to touch during gaming.
Maybe he simply doesn't understand that the fan may be lowering the temperature from 55C to 47C, and that 47C will still feel hot to the hand.
Hey guy,
Can you actually provide real world numbers with screenshots?
No one has experienced anything like this before, so either your phone is defective or you have a nervous breakdown.
Yes, the phone overheats while charging but if you switch on the gaming mode to check heat also in certain Celsius comes down gradually and quickly in my case. So fans not a fake gimmick. Also when you are playing games heat is normal for heavy graphic 3d rendering titles like pubg, fortnight I play pubg with extreme HD and it heats but the fan keeps decreasing the heat. My suggestion is to charge where there is air free flow of air like a fan, AC, or cooler to keep ambient temp in control.

Instead of admitting that you were sold a defective unit and exchanging it for a working one, you think there's a conspiracy that involves the Nubia corporation and "paid youtubers."
But hey, I'm thinking this guy is not a psychopath. Maybe it's just a user erorr.
Maybe he thinks that having a fan in the phone should make the phone feel cool to touch during gaming.
Maybe he simply doesn't understand that the fan may be lowering the temperature from 55C to 47C, and that 47C will still feel hot to the hand.

There is term called "anpad", search google. Means noob.
In forums here devs try to explore and experiment with every possible problem the OS or hardware may face.
See im not going to respond further to your low IQ behaviour anymore. Good day to you.

Yes
That is understandable, but then what is the fun of a fan gimmick when you need additional external air circulation with AC.
Even with clash of clans. Not much demanding game phone heats up. Plus additional charging while playing the temp increases continuously.
Circulation of heat and cooling inside the phone is poor. I'm starting to wonder if the battery has nay issues of heat while charging.

Low iq behavior? Projection much?
You are the one who's playing games while charging the phone, something that should not be done to a cellphone battery especially with 26C ambient air.
You realize that by charging and playing you are heating up the battery and the cpu at the same time and that's really going to cut battery's life real quick?

Apologies for the mess. Was relyed on Google voice without proof reading. I have edited now.
I'm not suggest to plug in a charger while gaming, it will make the phone hot, especially when you using the original fast charger. Anoher thing is you hae to know you can't get a high performance with the low temperature, if you get a very hot phone, the cpu will running in a low clock speed. The RM3 can get highest score on Antutu so I think the fan is doing something.

I agree the fan is going something. Had the circulation been a bit effective i think it could have been utilised in a more better way.
Anyways i was just charging the phone while gaming to test the heat limits. Not actually doing it.
Still i have noticed battery heat while standby charging

If you are using a fast charger, the battery will get hot, that's normal.
