Hello.
I was using evolution HD version 10.2 then 10.3 and every thing was fine until last night when I updated it to version 11.
Straight away i have noticed that the phone is getting very warm which didn't happened before.
It's getting warm even when browsing websites.
So first thing I did was to wipe my phone clean but that didn't help even though I haven't restored anything.
Next i tried installing different roms but heating problem didn't go away.
Can anyone tell me what the problem may be.?
Just tested it on Cyanogenmod and didn't noticed any heating up at all.
Can anyone provide a link to Revolution HD 10.3 as this was working perfectly fine on my phone.
I'm surprised I can't see anyone else complaining about heating up issue with version 11 in Evolution HD thread.
I think it's getting hot because maybe you did a lot of activity once you flashed the Rom...and were you charging your phone by any chance? This is a quad core phone and should get hot with high cpu usage
I know that the cpu can get hot when in use but that didn't happened before when browsin websites.
I was just comparing it with cyanogenmod going from one rom to another and back and with the same activity revolution hd 11 heats up my phone a lot lot more.
And no it wasn't plugged to a charger.
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?

Are you running a custom rom? If so, sounds like a kernel issue.

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.

Hi Team,
I recently switched to a Nexus 6 from a Note 4 (could not stand TW anymore). So far liking the Nexus`s smooth operation. However i have some questions
1-) The phone runs Hot even in day to day normal operation. And its even hotter when running some intensive tasks . Also the phone gets quite hot when charging (even from a non Fast charger)
2-) I was able to get 4.28 Hours of SOT on everything stock ( 5.1 ). Its lower then Note 4 , but i am fine with it . Just wanted to ask if its normal SOT ?
3-) I read that the stock kernel on the N6 is quite bad. Should flashing a good custom Rom / kernel resolve the issue of phone running hot ?

I'm stock and the only time my phone gets warm is when it's on turbo charging from a low battery. I average 5 to 6 hours SOT but that is very user specific. I keep location set to low battery use and my brightness is set at about 40% with ambient display turned on. You should look into a wakelock detector and see if you have a specific app that is causing battery drain or high CPU usage. FWIW, Facebook app is a number one culprit.
Thanks man for the reply. Those are some impressive numbers.
I already have location services off since i don`t have any use for them. I have my brightness to around 30% / ambient display is turned off.
Regarding facebook , i just read that FB messenger is a big culprit. Hence i just uninstalled it. Also installed GSAM battery monitor to check for wakelocks.
Anyone else have any feedback. The mfgr date on my phone is 10th January 2015

1. hot.. whats your cpu temp? your phone can run up to 100C, or 212F, before it hits its safety shutdown, when itll shutdown to cool off. if you are just saying it feels hot, thent dont. feel doesnt give you any temp, it just days it feels hot compared to your hand.
2. its normal. i see anywhere from 5-6.5 hours sot. but thats according to how i use the phone and my signal quality.
3. no. they have nothing to do with your devices temperature.
I notice that mine feels hot when its been sitting in the sun.
My phone is Sony z1 c6906 running stock ROM (.368 ) with stock kernel. My phone heats up to 50 degrees while reading something and 55-60 while watching a YouTube video how would i fix this issue? I am rooted and have custom recovery plus unlocked bootloader
no idea it happens to me too and it really drains battery life. maybe try deleting some unecesary apps because some run in the background.
My Mi 5 seems to be overheating, I was in a 30-degree bus while using and it seemed to be going at least 50 degrees which burnt my finger when I touched the screen and held the phone. My friend had an iPhone 6s and he was even listening to music and messaging his friends and heavy using his phone but it wasn't even that hot. I've tried multiple ROMs and it doesn't seem to be that. I felt my Mi 5 could even catch on fire in that heat. I am thinking of upgrading to an iPhone 7 mainly because this issue, also my Mi 5 does overheat even in 20-degree heat while doing heavy usage such as playing Pokemon Go, using maps and watching videos. I've only had my Mi 5 for a couple of months and don't want to upgrade my phone so soon. While it was overheating today I was listening to music and messaging a couple of friends and the brightness was 50%. I was using the CM14.1 ROM. But I have had this issue before, just not this bad. Is anyone else having the same issue to my level, if so can I please have some help? I am using the 64GB model.
I never reached that temperature with my Mi5 ,only after intensive use maybe 41°C a few times but never that high like Tours.Try in twrp to wipe data and cache ,dalvic cache too and check after that.If that is not working try a new fresh install rom with wipe all

Thanks for trying to help. But as mentioned before I have tried over ROMs etc. Do you think I should get a new device as it seems as my MI 5 is a fire hazard. I can't return it cause I bought it in China and am in New Zealand at the moment.
Thanks, Sam
Ok
My phone rarely gets hot. I basically never reach 50°C, however when i rant a multithreaded stress test programm, i easily reached 80°C for the CPU within the first few seconds. The phone itself would be heating up in time as well, but well, this is the worst case scenario that rarely happens to anyones phone. Its a phone after all, entertainment and such, not something you can unload some work onto. Well, thats at least my take on "smart"phones these days.
So if you reach 50°C while doing basically nothing, while the ambient temperature, is like 20°C somethings definitely off. Maybe there is some issue with the clockspeed and its locked at the highest tier at all times. that might explain the eating for no reason, while load would remain low.
P.S. I doubt there is a hardware defect
