Hi!
So I've installed BatteryLife to monitor the percentage of battery remaining as well as the temperature of my Defy, and I've noticed that as I run some apps, it sometimes reach as much as 40°C. What I'm worried about is that it might fry my processor, if I assume things correctly. Will it be that way? How do I solve this?
not use it?
40C is fine.
the temperature that you talk about is that of the battery. 40C is fine if you play some games or similar cpu intensive apps.
Yes 40C is fine!
Yesterday I have 48 C, and the phone was acting normally, so 40 isn't a issue. Also, the phone has cool down mode that activates when it reach critical temp.
mine is normally 37degrees. but make sure your rom doesn't have some overclocking settings and vsel is not set too high.
Once my phone did reached 50°C and I open up the battery cover for better ventilation. I did this because I was on 3g continuesly online while listening music. Phone run no problem for another 2 hours non stop..

yeahh true that..
i recently bought a Defy plus...and it overheat when i use 3G or any background download...it gets so heated up that i have to put it before AC to cool it down..now it seems like i dont owe a DEFY+...DEFY+ owe me...as i have to take care of this ****...everyday..!!

hello friends, i have a nexus 4 whuich is around a month old ! in india it costed me around 400 hundred dollars !i wanted to know if there are few ways by which i can reduce heating issues for it .
Whenever i paly games in it like need for speed most wanted or PES 2012 it gets heated up very soon.
my google nexus 4 is NOT ROOTED !
Is there any solution to this heating???
and shuld i ROOT ?
-----------------------------------
THANKS IN ADVANCE
It gets heated up very fast, big deal. That's how processors work, let them work and they heat up.
What's your problem with it? Phone feels hot?
Get a custom kernel and use undervolt and or underclock, that helps to reduce heat, but not significantly.
Yes there is a problem! A massive problem! It heats up so much that it hurts sometimes when talking!!

Hello Friends,
I wish to gather as much info as we can about the I9500 that are heating......because I was informed by someone at samsung that the devices manufactured after june have a revised PCB....which eliminates the overheating and battery problem.......I got my I9500 on 14th aug but in Antutu it was reching 85 degrees hence I will be getting a replacement tomorow....
Please use *#2222# to find out the HW Version : The defected ones (I assume not confirmed yet) are REV 0.6 because my friend has the same rev and his phone heats up as well........So if we succeed in getting more and more details we can go to samsung svc and ask them to atleast replace the motherboard....Cheers......
Heres What we need
Date Purchased :
Date Manufactured on the box :
HW Ver :
How hot does it get :
Does the heating affect battery life :
I dunno about 9500, but i am using 9505 and it was hot when i got it.
Ever since i switch to this kernel with proper undervolt, it doesn't run hot anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284252
Maybe ask the guy if he have a port for 9500
Use wheatley governor (huge improvement to reduce heat since it doesn't bump all the way to max cpu all the time).
My battery life nearly doubled, can last 15-20 hours easy depending on usage.

theres an app called temp monitor if you go to the preferences of that app you will find an option that allows the processor temp to be displayed it statusbar all the time....now this app is not available on the play store and i cannot share it as i dont know if its a paid app but you can google for this app....cheers!!!!!!
Hi. mine is REV 0.6 and i bought it on June 12th. when i first got it it heated for no reason after 5 minutes of light use, but i never checked the degree. but after an ota update. the issue is gone and at most extreme conditions it reaches 70-73 degrees.
That's great let's see what happens after I get the replacement

Hw rev 0.6 here too. Some overheating (while gaming is hell) and no battery problems so far. I am curious about a new hw rev and its improvements
So say we all!! from my GT-I9500
Hmmm so am getting a replacement tomo by tue I will confirm if any improvements are seen if yes then u can approach samsung

honestly, if your problem is only the heat, i am pretty sure a better cpu governor would solve your issue. lets face it, these phone will get hot, running close to 2ghz, quad cores with NO active cooling... even my desktop cpu gets around 45c with liquid cooling man...
i am sure the temperature is an issue using all existing governor (except if you use powersaver or conservative, but is slow), but the wheatley does a good job keeping the phone smooth despite staying at the lower end of the cpu speed as much as possible..
i got my S4, eventhough we have triangle away, i never planned to return it anyway, i'd just deal with the heat problem, in fact, at the beginning before i even discover the new kernel, i just manually reduce the max cpu speed to 1.6Ghz, and that solved the heat problem.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain things.....now the issue i have is i can manage normal heat or for that matter heat which is above avg as well...the only scary part is my phone reaches 85 degrees most of the time.....it doesnt behave like an octa core.....its just like a a15 quad core and the heat is very very high......

As I have a I9500 if I root the device my warranty will be gone as samsung people will reject the same because i rooted it.....also on the stock rom I am getting less than 3 hes of screen on time......hence requested for replacement....as I do not have the option of rooting the device till triangle away is available for I9500.....

So without rooting its not possible to limit the cpu and thats where am having a problem!!!!
Rev 0.6 here. Spectacular battery life 5-6 hours screen time. Overheat issue is "almost" gone for me. Atleast the heat is not enough to bother me while browsing and general use. Heavy gaming makes the phone quite hot though, out of the comfort zone of placing the top of the phone in your hand.
Purchased my S4 in June. Had horrible overheat issues, hickups,restarts, battery level suddenly jumping to low followed by a restart.
Every single one of this issue got solved by the firmware update. Latest MG5 (Indian). So please update to this one if you haven't already (Flash it) and report your temp, general battery life etc with us.

Yup Been MG5 since Day 1 and have done multiple factory resets still the temperature issue exists even the svc confirmed that the heating I have is a hardware issue,,,,,
*********If anyone from india recently bought the S4 they have a offer going on wherein 1 screen replacement will be done for free by samsung till the device is under warranty you can call samsung cust care and give them your purchase date they will confirm if the device is eligible for a free screen replacement!!!!! So for me no more screen guards needed,.....
I am running MG5 (Indian) firmware stock, no root, hw rev 0.6. I did some measurements today with cool tools
Ambient temp : 29°C
Idle processor temp: 37°C
Light task processor temp: 43-50°C
Web browsing heavy pages: 45-60°C
Playing sonic 4 ep1 : 59-67°C
Antutu processor temp: 70-92°C
Antutu score: 27.896
Pretty standard temp behaviour I guess. The overheating in my phone seems to be the inevitable one that comes with such a powerful (and unfinished) processor.
If someone gets a new hw rev we could compare at a given conditions (ambient temperature, apps running etc..). It might not be very representative, but it could be fun.
So say we all!! from my GT-I9500
Rev0.6
Bought last June 14..
No "overheat issue."
Heavy gaming makes phone hot but not to the point of overheating. Also after flashing a new rom it gets hot on first reboot (just wait for the rom to settle)
Every smartphone gets hot in a certain situation and thats pretty normal..

Best battery stats of my s4
Got 2x 7 houra screen time
But usually my usage is between 5.5 hours to 6.5hours screen time
I think you really got a bad device and not a batch defect. Good thing they will replace it for a new one.
I suggest update your device yo latest firmware or root and install custom rom and kernel.
Eventhough we have less available rom and kernel for now, the good thing is that they are all very nice and devs are great.
my phone have several issues but this heating problem worries me the most..
when im not touching the phone (placed on the table with display on but on lock screen) it is 35C to 38C
when i take it in hand nd unlock and even if i do nothing it rises and reaches 42-45C
when i use apps like gmail, maps, or sms the temprature is around 45-48C
when i play small games it goes between 50-60C
but the most worrying part is when i play heavy games.. the temprature goes above 60C and stabilizes at 65C.. aont once in a while it reaches 68C but comes down sooner
when i run benchmarking apps. the temprature went 70C and even reached 72C twice... will the device can handle such temprtures?
i know most of the processors are made to handle not more than 70C.. so im doubting this heat might burn my phone internals..
is it like this for all snapdragon 615 phones? or will it b fixed if they update to lollipop which is best suited for 64 bit processors?
or should i return the phone ( i have 6 days ) coz its defective??
please give me a reasonable reply some1.. i tried all forums and no reply.. please help me... i dont wanna regret buying this phone in the mean time i dont wanna regret returning this phone either so kindly help me
just went through this video.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoODiio7qFw same case for me to oso i guess its comon for every1
yes i m also facing this issue and this issue is really big to worry about. I don't think it will be fixed, its seems hardware problem....... Recording videos increase my phones temp. a lot, to 70-75°c. I m really disappointed to have yureka!:banghead:

hey yes the phone overheats but dont worry...it seems to b kinda like a software bug...its cyanogens second company cmon...march 26 is the date for lollipop upgrage for it...so i guess the update will make the fone reach it full functionality...n i saw videos of the fones glass break test and bending test...its got really tough hardware...so it can mostly handle it,...bt i sujjest you not to usee it too heavily till the next upgrade...HOPE THIS HELPED..plz click like if it helped
Over heating in yureka is a software issue and hope it will be solved in future updates. Till then you can try to keep your memory usage low and clear the background processes frequently to keep a check on the temp. Try to stop all the unnecessary process and services that are running in background. It will help a lot.
Just change performance mode to balance mode and heating problem is gone
Hi guys,
I have purchased Note 4 recently and it seems to be heating in minimal tasks also like surfing the internet. i have flashed KITKAT, LOLLIPOP(default) and MARSHMALLOW but in all these firmwares the problem seemed to be consistent. Earlier i used snapdragon phone which was clocked at 2.3 GHZ and used to heat @ heavy games like No Limits, with recording on but this one is heating in angry birds itself. Though no lags are observed. I have not tried the Marshmallow version latest yet but some body told that latest update fixed heating issue. The root problem i see is its Processor clocked @ 2.7 GHZ, i mean this much we see in PC. I dont understand why they have gone so far. Now Samsung kernel must be clocked such way that on demand it bumps the frequency to max. This max i want to limit to 2 GHZ but without knocking down KNOX warranty. If some one has latest updated Marshmallow release and can confirm that it is indeed not heating please comment or tell me the solution to this problem, i really like this phone but hate when it heats. I am ok with slight lagging due to underclocking. i am willing to flash kernels with lower max frequency via ODIN. No custom recovery intended. Also i dont want to loose on warranty.
Thanks and Regards,
Really looking forward to solution

I have a Verizon Note 4. I did have heat issues with Lollipop. Since I installed Marshmallow and did a factory reset, it only gets warm with heavy use. Some app updates have had my Note 4 running warm, but a reset of the phone seems to fix it.

Seems like custom rom is the only option bro
The Snapdragon 805 SOC does have a bad habit of getting really hot when running heavy tasks.
Not only was my phone Hot for every second I used it but... Look at this amazing SOT.
I finally figured out how to keep Google play services from draining the battery: burn through your entire battery before it even has time to start up.
