Hi, I bought a SGS a few days ago. Everything was fine at first, but then it started to overheat even for a few minutes of use. It is around 32 degrees celsius when the screen is off, but even if I do nothing and keep the screen on for some time, it shows 41 degrees celsius. If I open a game or the music player it becomes 48.Not occasionally, every time I do the same thing. If it was a graphically intensive game it would probably be 55 easily. I deleted everythng and did a data factory reset, it slowed down the speed of the heating but the same thing happens eventually. I've checked similar threads and someone said even a temperature of 55 degrees is normal, but that can't be true since when the temp is 48-49 the phone becomes really sluggish, and apps stop working. Any ideas?
The most important thing is though, I dropped the phone once. However, it wasn't an issue that day and the day after. I don't think they are related, what do you think? Is there a cooling system that might be damaged? I don't want to send the phone back because there are small scratches around the silver part of the phone because of it and they might resend the phone saying it is the user's fault.
Lastly, the Froyo is installed now. If I upgrade to Gingerbread is there a chance that it will help the temperature stay normal?
I have had temperature of 60 degrees. It's pretty normal, I don't think gb would change anything from it.
When the temperature is about 50, the phone starts to lag badly, the browser lags and the games freeze. Before this, the highest I saw was 36 when playing a game.
As far as I know, when it hits 60 degrees, the phone turns off automatically, are you sure? It becomes very ucomfortable to hold too.
Definitely normal when the phone is doing something intensive. Phones don't have cooling systems - do you want a fan at the back of the device? Also, the phone can go beyond 60 degrees - it doesn't turn off when it reaches 60. If there is a defense mechanism it goes beyond that point. The battery on the other hand stops charging if the phone reaches a certain temperature. I don't recall any sluggishness with the phone at high temperatures or at least nothing like games freezing. One thing to do is to reduce to minimum the brightness of the screen coz Super AMOLED screens tend to produce a lot of heat at high brightness levels and that's what mainly heats the phone so much. Also, you can get a kernel with which you can undervolt the cpu - that will keep the cpu cooler.

I've never monitored internal temperatures, but....
Mine very rarely feels hot to the touch. If I played Dungeon Hunter for a half hour it would get pretty warm (not hot though) but that's normal I'd say. Send it back to Samsung Service Center - this phone costs half a grand, don't chance that it's slowly cooking itself to death!
Oh and I didn't find gingerbread to make a dramatic difference, wouldn't expect it to solve all your problems. Sorry dude.
try uc/uv-ing the phone, might help:\
I told you there was something wrong . It might be normal, but the beginning of it was definitely not normal. The thing is, when I set the alarm, the phone starts overheating. It goes to 40 without starting any apps, and sees 45-48 under 5 minutes of use depending on what I am doing. When I turn it off, it hovers around 36. I've never seen it past 38 even when there are three apps working. I've noticed this a few hours ago and still am still testing it, so I am not 100% sure, any of you had a problem with the alarm? It sounds even more reasonable because the time the phone started to do this roughly coincides with the time I set the alarm for the first time.
Hopefully the alarm is to blame, I can live without that .
I overclocked mine and It gets hot as hell. even when I charge the phone? Is there anyone who knows how to solve it?

So why is it that even when I running a 1.3Ghz phone sometimes games like Dungeon Defenders run REALLY smooth and no issues, but then later I will try to play it and it will run like a bag of spanners, and is completely unplayable?
Rebooting phone often sorts this out, but why should I have to? The GPU has dedicated RAM, all unnecessary applications have been shut down, even put into flight mode.. and still it freezes for seconds (sometimes for a LONNGGGG time), and just generally stutters badly on the screen.
I thought maybe it was to do with the stock rom, but a factory reset proved that the stock rom is fine, but later it screws up. So I try the V20Q rebuilt rom, and stefans's gueste kernel and it still does it.
What is going on? Is the phone running out of resource? Is the second CPU not starting up? What is going on, and how can I find out?
Does it happen after at least 24h of runtime?
No. I've not measured it, but can happen within 8 hours I imagine. I have tried different batteries to rule out a voltage problem.
Is there a memory and dual CPU monitor tool I can use in the back ground to try and find out the problem.. or at least get a head start on the issue?
Oh forgot to mention, whilst it's lagging, even on the initial Dungeon Defenders start up screen... it's very unresponsive, and can take several seconds to identify I pressed something.

If you want a monitor tool, use system panel pro version.
However if the phone begins to be unresponsive after some time, it is because there is memory leak. It is a common problem in stock-based roms. ATM only reboot can solve this issue.
If you flash CM-based roms, the phone will be always smooth.
I did download system panel lite, but will grab 'pro' on Wednesday to help monitor the cpu usage (both cores) and free memory etc.
I actually like the stock V20Q rom... real shame :-(

wrong. It happens in CM roms too I have to reboot every day to avoid starting to experience lagginess which becomes unbearable on day 3
I will buy the system tool tomorrow and try and monitor what the heck is going on.
It should easily be running this program, there is no reason why it's performing so badly and causing the phone to be unresponsive.
Interesting... whilst running Antutu today, I only got 4900 to 5000 points @ 1.2Ghz. I can get about 7000 at this speed so I wondered what was going on. I checked out systempanel, and it appears to only be using 1 core. Hmm...
@-sandro-
What kernel do you use?
With ironkrnL 32 or 48 there is no lag. Not even after a week without switching the last reboot.
As per sig, using Stefan's gueste v1.1 kernel for stock rom's (V20Q).
(My setup is his kernel + the rebuilt V20Q italian rom from LG with the 'tweak' pack).
Is the ironKRNL compatible with V20Q stock?

I could say my phone runs "smooth" but then I bench it (The bench will show bad results), or play a game and it can be a stuttery mess.

NEVER happened to me with CM7...it has an excellent memory management
Please, I don't want to discuss different ROM's. I would like help diagnosing the cause
I have now put on gueste v1.2 release candidate, and can see the 2nd core activating earlier. However, I'm still getting random results, and I can't say for sure whether or not the CPU 2 is activating as system panel isn't historically recording the CPU level of CPU 2 individually :-(
In Antutu.. you can see the FPS is down as well even after running a 2nd time. It's all very wierd. (I got 7250, then the next run I got 4900(ish) !)
EDIT: Upon testing, what I noticed the most was that CPU Floating point scores and 2D graphics were at least half of what they should be, whilst 3D score was barely affected at all. This to me points to an issue with the CPU side of things.
It's hard to judge as I've mostly noticed the back of the phone getting pretty hot while playing Spider-man Unlimited (specifically in the area under the camera, indicating the CPU and not the battery). I had the same issue with my Note 2 (the phone I had before this one), except that it would only heat up when I played that game and feel normal during other tasks. On my Note 4, it seems to get hot for everything: camera use, internet browsing, etc. I thought it might be because the phone was "settling" in, but it's been about a week now. So far, unrooted and no other tweaks applied.
Anyone else experience this? Does it justify a return to T-mobile? Will they even do it for an issue like this?
I've had mine since Saturday and it's only gotten warm once and that was while playing Asphalt 8. Otherwise this is much better than my old G3 or Nexus 5
Mine used to. Then it cleared up. I can run it for hours with the screen on while I drive for work and it's fine.
Mine did, and after some digging I realized it was the ims service running up the cpu. I disabled wifi calling, restarted and I've been fine since. I havent tested my theory, but I suspect it may be that some services dont recover properly after using ultra power saving mode and need a restart to function properly.
Same problem
Me ! It happened to me, just only after 10 days that I brought the phone. What happend was It was just open the whole night while I was sleeping. It was'nt plugged to a charger nor was it connected to the internet ( via mobile data or wifi). The moment I woke up and reached for my phone, It was really hot!!! Very Very HOT!! I could not even touch it with my bare hands! So I turned it off and decided it would need to be changed because I dont know if the cpu is not good anymore. Although all the apps seem to be working perfectly fine, I just had to give it back to retailer AND ask for a new unit!!. ...
nope, cool as ice. but haven't played any graphically intense games and I am on a custom rom.
Not here. Been very cool even after extended GPS or Clash of Clans use.
I don't have a case on it if that matters.
Which is a very welcome change from my old htc ltevo, which would get almost too hot to hold.
Moved to Q&A.
So I installed CPUTemp from the Play Store and have monitored the temperature doing various tasks (there's an overlay feature which shows you the temp no matter what you're doing on the phone). While it's not surprising to get above 50C while playing a graphically intensive game, I found myself easily getting into the 60C's during regular tasks.
After contacting a T-mobile tech support rep, I was advised to reset the phone and install as few apps as possible for testing. I made sure not to install Spider-man Unlimited this time around. During the night, CPUTemp recorded a temperature spike of over 70C, when the phone was not being used and should have been sleeping!
Unfortunately, xda search and Google have not been very helpful in determining how high a temperature is too high for this device to be operating at.
Anyone have any clues if what I'm seeing is too high (indicating a defective device that needs to be replaced)? Is anyone willing to install CPUTemp and give me an idea of the kind of temperatures you're seeing while doing things like internet browsing, email, phone calls, etc.?
If you are concerned about the temp, you should exchange it. Full Stop.
Regarding the CPUTemp app, I couldn't find that one.
Do you have a link to the app you are using?

If only it were that simple! You basically have to prove to T-mobile that the phone is abnormally hot, but that's hard to do if you don't have a baseline.
By the way, here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yanyan.cputemp&hl=en
Also, just to repeat: this is an unrooted, unROMed, unmodified in any way Note 4.
I installed that app and tested last night.
Normal temps in 40 - 45 degrees Celsius.
Playing clash of clans it got into the mid 50s.
It never got near 60.
My phone ran hot when I left nfc on all the time . As soon as I turned it off I have been running perfectly cool
I left the CPU Temp running longer.
Temps were between 34 and 57 degrees.
40s for normal use.

I don't know if you're still facing that problem or not but I just wanted to share my experience with your device's predecessor the note 3 because I happen to monitor the temperature most of the time, so while browsing it can get to 53 celsius degrees after a while and loading heavy websites, in games it's mostly in the 50-63 zone depending on how intensive the game is but certain games would push the temperature to 66 and sometimes 69 degrees, I know that the operating temperature of my SOC is 0-70 degrees but it never gets above 70 (Iam using cm11 rom with custom kernel and faux123) keep in mind that you have a faster chip so you might get a bit higher temperatures.
I just use this and I am good.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Never encountered overheating with the T-Mobile Note 4, but with the AT&T Note 4 I have. Either it has to do with the software (which Firmware you currently have installed) or defective hardware. In the general norm, it also depends what you have running in the background or the particular app being used at the given moment. I had overheating issues with the AT&T Note 4 and nothing was installed. AT&T was a PITA.
Even when playing games my Note 4 doesn't heat up at all. Only when charging. Compared to my S4 becoming incredibly hot.
I would suggest returning the phone. I tested out my Note 4 today for the first time. No games on it. Downloded some apps. It overheated and I was very , very disappointed. Will be returning this unit.

My new Nexus 6, is now too hot to start, when booting up it turns off before it can ask for the pattern to decrypt the phone. It loads up fine in Fastboot and Recovery, but the CPU temperature in recovery is displayed ranging between 67-70 degrees Celsius. The phone is a month and a half old.
It was performing well without a glitch (apart from the random reboots and 'not charging' at times when plugged in).
Over the last week it started charging really slowly, showing 9 hours to a full charge when the battery was 15%., and after being on charge for that amount of time, the battery topped charging at 65% each time. I suspected that the Turbo Charger/Cable were faulty but other chargers (turbo/normal) and cables showed the same results. The displayed battery health was shown as good. I figured out that the phone could charge up from )% to full in 1.5 - 2 hrs approximately on any of those chargers and cables including the original ones when in Fastboot or Recovery mode. I started charging my phone in recovery mode. The CPU temperature used to be around 65 C. I had done a complete factory reset/data wipe/cache wipe to try and fix the problem.
The phone is rooted, running stock 5.1 rom, latest official TWRP recovery although no apps that use root.
Since day before yesterday the phone started randomly shutting down every 15 - 60 min, overheating I suspect. The battery health was displayed as 'overheat' and he phone completely refused to charge when powered on, and now shuts down when powering on before it can ask for the decryption pattern, though it runs fine in Fastboot/TWRP Recovery. CPU Temp shows as 70C in Recovery.
Please help.

Probably a hardware issue, it can happen
Probably not a good idea to charge in recovery as all cores are always maxed out, causing it to be hot anyway.
Reflash the stock kernel using the flashify app from app store. This will rule out software issues
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
After looking at thread like these , i am reluctant to use the Quick Charger that came with the phone. I normally charge the phone with USB (PS4) or a normal Samsung Charger
Where people go wrong is using the phone while fast charging. Playing a graphics intensive game or streaming video while fast charging isn't typically good for battery temps
No amount of re-flashing will fix the problem. The Nexus 6 has a known overheating problem. I am using a workaround and so far have not had a single incident. I was getting two or three reboots a day before this. Set the screen resolution to 1080p. Instructions here:
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...xus-6-by-lowering-display-resolution-0159881/
This also works with rooted Marshmallow with Elemental kernel. You will not notice a difference - other than the reboots stopping and your battery lasting longer.

not true. first off, describe "overheating".
i run my cpu set to 3033mhz high and low. no matter what i do, i can not get it to "overheat". when the n6 overheats, it reaches 100C, at which it will either power off or reboot at that point. thus happens to let the cpu cool off.
remember, you are running a quad core cpu, at 2649mhz by default. now i ask again, describe "overheating".
oh, and one more. it has been proven already that lowering your resolution does not save battery. you arent disabling pixels, that where the same amount of the power is lost, no matter what you change your resolution.
anything else? :silly:

It solved the problem for me. That is a fact. Others have also posted that it has solved the problem for them. When playing certain graphic-intensive games, the battery would drain quickly and the phone would overheat and reboot. It is of course true that the screen pixels are still lit, however, the system doesn't have to keep track of all that extra data and the app has less work to do, thus it really does save battery and prevent overheating. It's the same as speeding up your fps in a PC game by lowering your game resolution, even though you're still using the same monitor.

i give you a few points with the gpu, but the amount saved would be extremely minimal. unless thats all you do, play games all day. then you might see an extra 5%, maybe.
I have huge heating issues when bulk-gaming. I even tried capping the GPU at 300 MHz. It's fine just gaming but gaming and charging is a no no for me. It *used* to work fine, but now it just throttles, even though it is only running at maybe 60 Degrees C. (I set my thermal throttle at 75). It's not really so much of an overheating issue as it is a throttling issue. Throttling on this device is poor and hard to work around.

My results are specific to certain high-battery-drain games. I am seeing my battery usage HALVED while playing certain games after making this change. These games tend to have a lot of animation. General use or "normal" (not unusually high) battery drain games are likely closer to your 5%.
Likewise, I noticed these games use a lot less battery on my older phones (with lower resolution screens).
If a phone is overheating during "normal" (not high drain) situations, then lowering the resolution may not be effective.
my phone only heats up when it is charging goes up to 45c

no. it has to be run every time you boot up.
Let's face it. Everyone knows how hot garbage this update is. I've come across multiple issues here and there, and as realme claims "performance improvements" in the changelog, it has only brought, ironically, inferior performance. I made this post to highlight some of my complaints in regard to the update and hopefully realme should take account of:
- Worse battery life - I've maxed out at around 4 hours of SoT as opposed to 6 hours in the previous build
- Performance issues - As mentioned above, I've been facing worse performance and occasionally terrible RAM management (although I'm pretty sure it has already been bad in the first place lol)
- Heating issues - The phone gets a lot warmer now than usual, therefore contributing to the lag and thermal throttling. Even on casual use, the phone gets abnormally warm for some reason
- Connectivity issues - Sometimes I have to reset my WiFi since the connection keeps dropping off.
There are also a few minor issues irrelevant to the update, like some of my mp3's not being read in the music folder (although when I plug my device to my PC, it reads them fine). There was also a time in which YouTube video playback glitched the entire screen (no idea what caused this). These probably don't have anything to do with the update, but I hope realme fixes these soon.
Take into consideration that I have the exact same apps and setup since the last update. This isn't some app that started draining my battery. Also, my refresh rate has been set to Auto the entire time. Might try to use the phone in 60Hz to see any significant differences, idk. I've heard that setting it to 90Hz helps? Idk, all I know is that these issues are really something and that many people are experiencing the same. I just hope that realme pushes an update that addresses such problems (prob July update?)
B.41 UPDATE:
It has been a few days since B.41 and I can most certainly say that it fixed the battery and heat issues. My phone has been able to comfortably last more than 6 hours a charge (90%-20%) on regular use and boy have I missed that so much.
I don't really know what to do with this thread anymore since the problems I mentioned are no longer relevant as B.41 fixes almost all of them. Might just add some issues and inconveniences that still persist in the software.
The biggest problem is the battery life. It's ok when forcing 90Hz.
I Don't know when you updated ur phn. But as a Realme 6 User I have faced the same problm.. And I posted 5 or more times in realme community about those same issue on my ohone.. But they Didn't make any ficing update. So I remove some built in unusable app like App store, heytap, market etc. But problem not fixed. After 10 days I noticed the phone is performing normally and smoothly as it was before the update. Now all problem are gone. My suggestion is, bcz of realme bad management system their update needs long time to properly performing.. So just wait and you will see few days after, ur phn is back to pavilion.

And at this point of time there is no custom ROM for this device either which is sad
Battery life issue is faced by me as well. Max 4hours of battery life even on very normal usage.

I think there might be one available. I came across this video https://youtu.be/SFgV9wRKRTw. You can watch it for trying out a custom rom made for realme 6/6 pro.
Actually there are gsi ROMs available for this device and I have flashed havoc os on my realme 6,but the thing is that it's not stable at all and you may get bricked,at this point of time you can't even use realme flash tool to flash the stock firmware and it also doesn't support EDL mode.Even if custom ROMs do come mtk devices easily gets bricked,I wish if there was an anti brick preloader for realme 6 then we can flash anything without fear. Redmi note 8 pro users are lucky for having anti brick preloader and custom ROMs support

Edit: I checked out the video myself there is no custom rom available as of now.
My phone has just received the RMX2001_11_A.38 update, had anyone tried it yet?
I bought a Realme 6 recently, so following all these criticisms do you think I better not update the smartphone?

I just got the newest update, B.41. I'm still yet to test it out. So far my device doesn't heat as much anymore.

Let's face it. Everyone knows how hot garbage this update is. I've come across multiple issues here and there, and as realme claims "performance improvements" in the changelog, it has only brought, ironically, inferior performance. I made this post to highlight some of my complaints in regard to the update and hopefully realme should take account of:
- Worse battery life - I've maxed out at around 4 hours of SoT as opposed to 6 hours in the previous build
- Performance issues - As mentioned above, I've been facing worse performance and occasionally terrible RAM management (although I'm pretty sure it has already been bad in the first place lol)
- Heating issues - The phone gets a lot warmer now than usual, therefore contributing to the lag and thermal throttling. Even on casual use, the phone gets abnormally warm for some reason
- Connectivity issues - Sometimes I have to reset my WiFi since the connection keeps dropping off.
There are also a few minor issues, like some of my mp3's not being read in the music folder (although when I plug my device to my PC, it reads them fine). There was also a time in which YouTube video playback glitched the entire screen (no idea what caused this). These probably don't have anything to do with the update, but I hope realme fixes these soon.

I read this thread for the very first time and I dare say you are the cause of all these issues you have with your device.
All the way up until 11.B.38 I had 8+ hours of screen time in a single day, around 7 over the span of 2 days on a single charge. All on FORCED 90 Hz.
Performance is excellent, this is the first phone I ever had that hasn't had a single hiccup in performance.
When casually using it it's stone cold, get slightly warm on heavier games (Gwent works great and doesn't make the phone too warm).
Connectivity worked great, only recently it appears I've lost CA for some reason.
If your device gets warm when casually using it, drains your battery in an unreasonably short time, most likely you have stuff running in the background draining CPU power - or your phone has a faulty battery. The test is easy - charge the phone up, reset it to factory settings, let it boot up and don't touch it, don't even go through the wizard. 30 minutes later go through the setup wizard, if the phone gets warm during setup, the battery might be faulty.
The annoying stuff in software Realme doesn't want to fix are the random issues with the screen-off gestures and the transition to homescreen with 3rd party launchers.
But hey, at least the split screen is now working fine with Nova Launcher!

As I've mentioned in my post, I had almost the exact same set-up as before. The same apps, same launcher, same everything. It was only when I updated to B.37 that things went sorta downhill. I also heard other users experiencing similar things.
Also, I see that you mentioned B.38 and not B.37. You may have a different model than mine, though I'm not so sure about it.
I updated my phone to the latest B.41 update earlier today, and things look very promising now. So far I've gotten to about 7 hours of SoT and barely any overheating issues.
It has been a few days since B.41 and I can most certainly say that it fixed the battery and heat issues. My phone has been able to comfortably last more than 6 hours a charge (90%-20%) on regular use and boy have I missed that so much.
I don't really know what to do with this thread anymore since the problems I mentioned are no longer relevant as B.41 fixes almost all of them. Might just add some issues and inconveniences that still persist in the software.
