How hot is too hot??? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is considered too hot for battery? My phone gets 107 after playing a certain game skyforce... Usually after 15 minutes game has a lot of detail 144 MB file... Soon as I stop playing it comes down so I know game is culprit..

Are you sure that is the battery and not the CPU / GPU? How are you monitoring temperature?

OK.
Well it's not good to charge it over 122

OK.. So 107 isn't bad?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

your battery can hit 60C, 140F, before shutdown starts, to cool off the battery. itll automatically shut down at that temp.

Right.... I used that as example showing difference between music player and game.. I am assuming cause game has screen on all time and heavily saturated with graphics the reason for high temp....

yup. games do use the cpu and gpu intensively, which will raise cpu temps, which will warm up the battery. itll rise even more if plugged in and playing as well

A bit of insider information, in a repair facility, devices are regularly put in a dehydration oven that reaches 150 degrees. While the device is inoperable at that temperature, no damage is caused. Also, while repairing screens, the device is sometimes heated to higher temperatures. Batteries are removed for that process but the only thing really at risk is the digitizer.

You can check with Bat Stat. It's a widget and work very well.
From my experience a mobile completely in idle should stay at 25/30°C, messaging and do some other light things up to 35°C and gaming 45°

There is an app in the system that monitor the temperature.

Temperature change means that your CPU is working. That's why you use more battery. If you want to preserve your battery on a rooted phone you can use apps like "SetCPU" and set as max cpu speed 1016 MHz. This will not reduce drastically you phone speed but will help you to preserve more battery. When you want to play some game set the max value back to 1500 Mhz

Atm I was reading a book from Play Books and temp is 29. With my Note I had similar values.
The thing that is different between XZ and Note it's that XZ can't exchange hot cause it's waterproof and Note can do more effectively.
XZ has a front and back "glass" so it's more sensible about external temp.
Here in Italy summer it's coming and I'll expect about 30° CPU temp as normal

CPU???? xD I was talking about batt temp, around the camera gets very hot sometimes... how can I see cpu temp?
but like i said my battery is draining fast, I used to be able to get like above 24hrs on 1charge
and now I'm on 3% in 9hrs... it bothers me...

My fault, i was talking about battery temp. Cpu temp can't be monitored, but i think that is directly propotional with battery temp
Yeah is normal it is a special feature Sony build in. That's foe the winter time to keep Ur hands warm when u use the phone. To bad they do not included a turn off switch for it.

Today I wanted to test how is the battery of this phone. I had unplugged from charger at 6.30 AM and connected to PC for 10 mins during the day. Now I have 33% remain and I went on YouTube, listened songs with Spotify (offline), SMS, FB, Twitter, Viber, Play Book: a normal daily use for me.
I have .253 fw and Doom Kernel with wheatley governor and cfq scheduler. 1026 MHz max - 192 MHz min. Juice Defender Ultimate for mobile data and WiFi always active when I am at home or at work.
About 18h without charge. For me it's an exceptional battery life. (when i hade Note I used to go with 3 more battery in the bag!)

[Q] Overheating, throttling, gaming performance

Since one month I am considering an upgrade of my good old SE Neo V. I mainly use it for gaming. After a deep research, and a lot of read I have narrowed my pick to 2 phones Xperia SP and Nexus 4. Both devices have Adreno 320 and similar price level which is vital for me. Since the overheating, throttling, gaming performance on N4 is quite well described over the web the problem seems to be the lack of similar information over XSP. I would like to kindly ask you for help with running few stress tests (you can use app StabilityTest (ROOT optional) by intostudios) and posting those results here. Also if you have some expirience with gaming on you XSP please feel free to write something about it: is there any problem with 1GB of RAM while gaming, or with touch after the device is heavily used for 30-60 min (I know about the issue when XSP is on a flat surface), are all games available for XSP?
All this data should let me make the best choice about my future phone. Thanks in advance to everyone willing to post your results below :good:
No problems while gaming. Playing iron man 3 while charging heats it up. No running out of ram issues.

Would it be possible for you to do a Stability Test to see how much CPU clock is decreassing during full load?

Stress test will only end when your phone crashes. It is used to test for stability after overclocking etc.
If it doesn't crash after 30 mins then you can end it.

Seriously what's the problem? Nobody is going to keep testing the phone for you.
If 5 hours is not enough I don't know what is.
I just wanted to see how much juice the cores loose after heating up. It is an important data for me thats why I am asking for it here in xda.
@jasonwsc it's not just for me maybe someoneelse would like to know this data

Is this normal?

For the screen to cause fast battery drain like this? Another thing, the device gets immensely hot, very quickly when playing real racing 3. Even on power save. Is that a note 3 thing too?
Edit: would like to add that screen was on 95% of that time

I'm not asking for a magic cure-all, but there's no way in the world I could afford any tablet, not on my payrate. I only got the note 3 by trading a bunch of stuff. I was just under the impression that new devices were supposed to get LESS warm than their older counterparts. This device reminds me of owning a tegra 3 phone..

How long was the screen on for?
It's normal for any device to get hot when playing games, especially when running graphically intensive apps. It has nothing to do with whether the device is old or new.
About 50 minutes out of the 55

That sounds about right then. Screen time can usually last up to 5 hours before the battery dies.
Installing dynamic kat actually 100% fixed heat and really improved screen on batt life. I only use 6-12% an hour. Depending on cpu load

What are in the stock updates?

Does anyone know what has been fixed or updated from the original android 5.0 LNX build to the upgraded 5.0 build then from 5.0 to 5.0.1? I couldn't find a change log from google or fixes or anything for that matter

Battery life is subjected to how you use your phone. Minimize your wake locks and ensure your phone is deep sleeping.
Battery life is hardly affected by a ota unless there was a crucial error on Google part causing wakelock which Google play services is the main culprit.

make sure that you install apps that dont keep your phone awake.
Don't think I have any. Simms I'm still trying to kill my battery, but trying to not go crazy. I've noticed chrome is quite battery consuming...
Utorrent as well, but I expect that from a p2p client

Huge battery drain

Hi
I don't know why my battery drains very fast.
I attached a picture of battery states
Is it a common problem or should I install a costume kernel?

Does Wakelock Detector (needs root - you didn't mention) give you any idea of what's draining it?
well, i see that you kept your phone screen on for about an 2 housr and 40 minutes in that 3 hour time frame. that will drain battery, and lots if you have your brightness set at a higher level.

Leading up to the screenshot did you have your phone on nonstop? Because it's showing as awake.
Also it looks like you have poor signal, which will cause battery drain.
