Heat - Moto G4 Plus Real Life Review

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 Moto G4 Plus 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!

It's a bit different. Gaming doesn't heat up the phone as much as video recording especially on 1080p.
Else it's gr8

Does your phone get a little warm when using the turbo charger? also, I am wondering if I should use a regular 1amp charger when I am not in a rush, I guess it prolongs battery life... not sure if using the turbo all the time is good..

Yes, as most of the turbo devices, moto g4 plus too heats up a bit while turbo charging. And since it's a chipset feature, we shouldn't worry. I think it's best to use the charger shipped with the set.

I'm stock systemless rooted and my device doesn't heat up that much, even with the turbo charger plugged in. I will admit though, using the elementalX kernel made my device REALLY hot when charging!!!!!! The OP of that ElementalX said it's not his kernel but it is, I don't have a problem when I'm not using it. oh well, man.

flar2 is right. Heating issue during turbo charge shouldn't be due to the kernel coz all the voltages are the same as stock. Did u overclock while installing the kernel (in aroma installer)?
Coz I'm using ElementalX kernel with 1.5 GHz of CPU and there's no difference yet.
I'll re-install and overclock the CPU to max and see if it heats up more.

No heat, whatsoever! I dont play games, but I'm a heavy user. The phones is much cooler than any phone I've owned. I didn't take the latest update.

My phone Heats up when i use camera... in abt 15 mins of use also it heats up quite a bit... and during turbo charging it also heats up bu not that much... sometimes we can feel the heat of the phone while it in our Jeans pocket also.

No heating issue here even while charging.

Heating while long use of camera and turbo charging is normal. I have seen phones getting hot in pocket for quite some devices... It's because of proximity sensor acting up, but it doesn't drain battery so little bit of heat is fine with me.

I only noticed little bit warming when charger is connected... as is it supossed to be.

Phone became really hot while playing HEVC x265 video on MX Player. Anyone experienced a similar problem?

The phone easily goes around 44 degree Celsius while charging it.

I'm not getting it...We have the solution of heating issue of Moto g4 plus...I think elementx kernel is the key if I will underclock the CPU to 1.2GHz(4cores) and 1GHz(4cores) will it stop heating up and is there is way to disable fast charging....And lock the maximum phone temperature to 39°C so that if cannot cross that and over heats

The heating will decrease significantly but so will the performance, but according to me elemental x kernel or any custom kernel in fact solves the problem, moreover I did not face the heating issue on the custom roms with stock kernel too, not as much as that on stock rom.

I played asphalt 8 from the phone on the TV through DLNA, the device warmed up just a little
Asphalt 8 needs to improve on the use of the processor

I did 2 Antutu benches on another thread, and interestingly, performance doesn't take a significant hit with throttled/unplugged cores:
4 cores, min 806 MHz, max 1209 MHz (LITTLE cluster): 40K
8 cores all plugged, OC'ed to 1641 MHz (big cluster), all other values same: 46K
The first test resulted in a lukewarm phone, while the second resulted in a phone that was burning hot (CPU was at 45 C for first test, 66 C second test). And, not to mention the massive battery drain as well.

Yep ! There's heating issues with my Moto G4 Plus and it's not gone even after updating to Nougat. Currently I'm in March 2017 security patch and still no reduction in heating. Heating occurs mainly during :
1. Heavy Gaming (Mainly encountered while playing Asphalt only)
2. Using rear cam for more than 15 minutes, especially outdoors during bright lighting conditions.
3.While charging the phone using Turbo Charger.

Nexus 4 throttle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=koLJ4BU9tgc
Swedroids test
It throttles at 36 C and shuts down at 59 to 60 C.
They should increase the throttle to 45 C and when 45 C is reached make the throttle more aggressive would be a better solution.
What do you guys think?

If it gets to hot people get the yellowing... I would rather run cooler and not worry about it.
Is this throttling effecting real world usage or just benchmarks? Not being sarcastic, asking a question.

Well i dont know, i dont care about benchmarks, just thought about informing what i found.
And increasing the throttle level and making it more aggressive later on was just my opinion.
I would like to see a comparison with the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III on what temperatures they shut down.

I think that the video was pretty painful to watch! lol WHO on earth would run a phone to death like that?? Hope they have an extended warranty... For real though, I would like to see them bump up the throttling temp a lil but in the real world most users will NEVER experience something like that because that app is meant to run your phone into the ground! I hate that they even make benchmarking apps cause it makes me competitive but I have found that the N4 is FAST as hell so I don't need anything else to prove that to me... Good vid though for the info but lets all step back into reality...
I'm thinking the S4Pro is rated to a higher temperature, and the thermal shutdown is really more for battery health than processor health... Regardless, 11 minutes at 100% load with no real cooling system...
Does the Galaxy S3 also shut down at the same temperature?
12 minutes with the CPU pegged at 100% on all cores with no cooling is impressive, IMHO. Yes it clocked down to 1150MHz but that's plenty fine.
No real world task will come close to pushing the processor that far. I doubt even gaming will task the cores so much that the phone throttles them back.
A lot of modern laptops won't run 12 minutes of solid prime95 before clocking down. This c2d 2.8GHz laptop I'm typing on now will clock down to 800MHz after 15-20 minutes of prime95...but it doesn't throttle at all when doing real world stuff, even compiling or encoding etc.

In my opinion the throttle should engage at 43-45c because at 36c its idle temperatures when the phone i just on stand by.
Ok I fear that's a real problem. What if I want to play a graphic intensive game for a few hours? Expecially on a hot summer day?
Could the phone shut down?

So much for Qualcomm's butter test
In the video description you can find:
"The reason as to why we published this video is because we've never experienced temperatures reaching ~60 degrees C before, nor have we ever experienced a phone shutting itself down after just 12 minutes of continuous full load, nor have we ever experienced such aggressive thermal throttling. It pretty much throttles down instantaneously from 1.5GHz to 1.2 or 1.1GHz during heavy load.
All temperature readings are presented in Celcius.
The Nexus 4 seems to have some issues with heat development. At least if we are to believe our findings. There might of course be a possibility that our unit is faulty. We are however not alone according to the Google Android issue tracker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability&feature=.... A google search on the matter will also render lots of user reports concerning heat issues.
In comparison the quad core Galaxy S3 (3G) battery sensor reports ~41 degrees after 13 minutes of full load with the screen set to 100% brightness. It does however lower the CPU frequency to 800MHz at times, but mostly run at 1.4GHz. Our IR meter reports about ~34 degrees if we go ahead and measure the hottest spot on the back of the phone (area around the camera lens)."
For me, this is a no-go. I wouldn't buy a phone that shuts down after a few minutes of processor stress testing. Can somebody tell if the same happens with his N4?

Thing is that if you search the web for this problem, you get a lot of hits about people have thermal issues. I hope it just is a defective unit but it seems it is not the case. The S4 pro seems to be generating to much heat and requires too much power. That's why it empty's the 2100 mha battery a bit faster compared to other devices.
Maybe the S4 pro is more suitable for tablets and not phones.

Very few applications will use 4 cores. Hell, most don't even use 2 cores by default. So the chances of you maxing out all 4 cores in routine usage isn't very likely. The extra cores typically benefit smartphones when one process is utilizing a core already, a different process just gets thrown over to a different core so it doesn't have to wait for CPU cycles. Most smartphone use is "burst-y" so this helps end-users out quite a bit.
99.9 % its not the S4 Pro`s fault, just the lame battery from LG. I mean WTF after 15 secs it clocks down !!!!
Yeah, thats weird. But I could live with it, expecially when the phone runs buttersmooth. But if the phone shuts down after a few minutes of processor intensive tasks that's a big problem. I know that barely any app is using 4 cores simultanously, but what happens if you stress-test only one core? Does the phone also shut down?
This doesnt seem that bad, you're stressing it pretty hard which wont ever be done in real word conditions, for example take intel burn test, most people find this stresses the chip to temperatures 15C+ over any possible real word tests/usage.
You say the SGS3 throttles to 800Mhz at some points well thats pretty poor is it not? Clock for clock the s4 pro is superior and so clocking in over 300Mhz faster when throttled its pretty good id say. If you're comparing the S4 vs the S4 pro (US SGS3) then its pretty hard to say the battery sucks when its got more power! Of course it will run hotter haha.
I think they could put back the throttling limits a bit though, I think it maybe a battery issue more than anything though so maybe its a fault... Please test it by stressing a high end game for an hour or so tracking the temps and clock speed, that would be a much better indication.
edit: Seen your reply before me, It wont shut down like that in the real world! If you stress test only one core I can assure you that it will run MUCH cooler, you are essentially testing 2x the amount in the s4 Pro than you are in the dual core varient, in these stress tests it works pretty much 110% each core, in the realworld there will be idle times and switching between cores handling different threads, lots of variences that should mean it would be ALOT cooler all the time even if using all 4.

1 core likely won't generate as much heat, and not to mention the whole point of the cores is to distribute load and operate at max efficiency rather than less cores at max.
I understand that some people have issue with the throttling, but until people report that they can't play x and y after z minutes it is a non issue. It may have to do with the glass, maybe LG battery. It is possible the throttle is there to preserve the higher recharge cycles LG Chem batteries have.
Unless it actually ruins an app experience, on stock rom and kernel, it is not an issue. If someone would rather pay 400 more to boost their bench by 5% that's up to them.

Mhmm, I guess it won't be a problem in real world usage. Nevertheless it's quite weird that the phone heats up that much AND THEN SHUTS DOWN, expecially in comparison to other phones like the SGS3, where this problem doesn't occur.
But yes, I didn't hear any complaints about critical-heat-shutdowns in real world usage, so maybe I'm just overreacting. But at the moment it's winter in USA and Europe, so let's see how the phone performs in summer heat
My old HTC Desire often overheats and shuts down on hot summer days when I'm using GPS or playing games, so I just hope my next phone won't have this problem

Mine has been shutting down due to overheating at least once a day. I've just exchanged it so will see how that is.
Worryingly, I will often be doing nothing other than web browsing or similar which should not stress the CPU

Safe CPU temperature

Hi guys,
What is safe Tegra 3 temperature? I tried SetCPU stability test for 20 minutes at 1.6GHz and System Tuner Pro showed 72C. I'm correct, 80C is bad? I also suppose SetCPU stability test is more aggressive, than games or any other apps.
I user to run v10a firmware which often ran to 80° with no ill effects. I would be concerned if it rose any higher. The phone is built to shut down at 90° so I wouldn't worry too much, it can handle the heat
Sent from my smart frying pan (Tegra 3)
i had my device shut down twice while running werewolf with no skin throttle. i put the shutdown temp at 80 degs celsius. this happened after an hour of gaming. so yeah, it could probably run even more. i think default nvidia's shutdown temp is 120(!) degs celsius. not sure where i read it though.
I have throttle set to 75 and shutdown to 85. This is more than enough for me.
I wouldn't let my device go anywhere higher than 80C... It might be able to handle more than 80, but I'm not willing to risk it

I saw it from a kernel's changelog (don't remember the kernel's name), it said in the changelog "Tegra 3 default safe temperature : 85 C"
but I wouldn't recommend going above 80 C, it would reduce lifespan of your phone, not even mentioning the battery.Since battery is pretty close to tegra 3 chip, it gets effected by the heat chip generates
The main problem with high temperatures is not the chipset-temperature but the battery shouldn't get too hot. Li-batteries will be destroyed on high temperature. It's around 50 °C.
Did you hear about bloated or exploded phone batteries? This were cases of high temperatures.

It's just one thing - Tegra 3 chip is awful. I watched a lot of review of Optimus 4X HD, but not in one was talked about awesome hot, sadly. Though Tegra 5 are looking very nice now with Kepler GPU, but I'm furious on nVidia and when I will buy phone next year, it not will be powered by nVidia chip. I'm crossing fingers on next gen Intel Atom SoC.

On Marshmallow update, overheating was improved but still jump to high temperature fastly due to powerful SoC.
In brazil (+/- 30ºC / 86ºF ambient) the phone easily overheats when opens for a long time third party app camera (ex. snapchat) or heavy games (ex. gta sa)
on mexico in a city with normal temps of 30-35 on (sometimes winter) alost all year, or 45-50 in summer and i since have it since december it doesnt really over heat(jsut heat that much that you cant hold it)that much 4 to 6 times in all the time i have it
depending on the app used, I usually get 40-55 C from normal browsing and social media apps to extensive gaming like asphalt 8. I live in Philippines which usual temps are ranging from 28-35 degrees celsius. CPU Temp by mooncake is the app I use to monitor my temps.
45.3 °C max for me since MM in 3d gaming as reported by Battery Monitor Widget, 30°C in sleep mode avg
Unusually heating and battery drain
My phone unusually heats up without any reason and battery drains like almost 20 % in standby in 1 hr.This doesnt happen everytime though,I checked if any background apps were running.But its normal like FB ,Whatsapp,Album etc,.The back side on top of the phone gets heated
Rev 4 here no overheating or anything.Cooler than my Galaxy Note 4 and previous Z3

the 6p and the z5 is on par when it comes to heat. so good job sony.
I'm planning on upgrading to a Xperia Z5 but this thread makes it come to my mind... does the XZ5 custom kernels have undervolt features? In my experience undervolting makes phones cooler. So is it possible with the z5?

Short answer : no and the z5 doesnt need it. Long answer: The Z5 has AVS or auto voltage scaling(similar to the 6p) thus, it makes it very hard to implement undervolting. Androplus kernel used to have undervolting, but it was completely broken and does nothing to the voltages. AVS scales according to load and frequency. Therefore, if you are using your phone with very light use, it should not scale the voltage up and heat up the phone.
Guys, thanks for those informations.
I am about to get new phone and (untill now) Z5 was my first choice.
I had Lumie 920 in the past and I did not like how hot it was getting.
I do not play games however I browese web a lot,use FB, Spotify, etc... - will I have trouble with temp?
I now own lumie 640 - it does not get hot and it has awesome battery life (even under W10m). As I need Android phone and Z5 has decent battery and camera I was thinking it might be a good swap... (plus waterproofing, etc). Not so sure anymore
Is this the problem for Z5 Compact as well, do you know?

My z5 heats up while charging, you can feel the top half of the phone starting to heat up. Today my z5 went crazy trying to watch a video on a site that works on my z3,m8. The whole phone froze and started burning it was weird, previous days I would notice it heat up doing daily things. You'll definitely notice heat if you haven't had issues before with a previous phone
Lumia 920 was getting really, really hot.
Especially during navigation in a car. Screen on, software (Here Drive) running, charging on and sometimes sun through the windshield.
Do you guys use Z5 in a car? Is it not turning off because it is too hot? That would be a bummer....

Ok, got Z5, id does get quite hot (yes, during navigation as well) but I can live with that.
Plus I have it in see through cover so it does not feel as hot to touch. But to be honest I am not impressed. I was expecting it to be cooler.
I use google map yesterday and charging in same time, my Z5 was so hot that it won't charge properly and continu to drop battery with a quick charger.
I almost never get above 50 but it does feel pretty warm to the touch after a long period of use, even just browsing with poor signal. I think it's actually hotter after 6.0.1

It's pretty hot but still feel good. I play Sky Force Reloaded while not charging.
Have you guys tried charging it with its own charging dock ?
not as hot as other phones i have owned so heat isn't bad, not enough to worry about anyway.
Pretty warm while charging, but I think it's normal. While using unplugged had no problems at all.
Gets pretty hot while charging (yes, with it's original adapter) especially when the battery is below 20% and you plug it in the charger
Not a good phone if you are trying to roast marshmallows
but i haven't experienced any heat issues. cant even tell the difference between warmth from my hand and warmth from the device

The heating is normal and not a problem. The heat will lose if you're done charging and unplugged the charger.

Phone overheating issues

HAS ANYONE NOTICED OVERHEATING OF PHONE MOSTLY WHILE CHARGING, GAMING (should expect some heat not this much). I play PUBG on smooth basic plus extreme with no AA and gfx lower settings. Still phone heats up. FAN seems to be a marketing gimmick too. Circulation of air is v poor.
My question is can this be fixed via twrp custom rom tweaks. I'm willing to experiment.
Excuse me. Are you one of those geniuses who charges his phone while gaming?

Describe the issue.
What is the app/activity?
What is the temperature of CPU and Battery?
What is the temperature of air?

I think nubia have fake temp status.
Or is that a bug i don't know
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.
Which is weird. Makes me believe that all this temp and gpu turbo and fan is a gimmick.
Air temp is 26 deg Celsius.

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.

YouTube ers are paid. I check the temp stats from gaming app . Inbuilt.
Plus the phone feels hot in hand. Not 8 degrees cooler. And Hunan hand can easily feel 8 degrees change in temp over 5-10 minutes

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.

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.
