Dear S4 users,
Can you please tell me what is the maximum temp. achieved by your Galaxy S4. I am attaching screen shot of my S4 showing temp. 54C.
I request you to attach the screenshot also.
i had submitted my phone to service center as it is getting heated a lot but they have given it back to me saying it has no problems and it is workinf normal but it is not. Tomorrow I am going there again to resubmit it but before that i will need some screenshots to show them.
Hope you upload those ASAP.
had the phone for 6 days now and max temp i've reached is 51C
temp
mine gets HOT
highest I've seen is been is about 87 maybe 88 but 86 is my highest recorded temp.
the Galaxy S 4 is definitely the most reliable in my opinion.
I reached 75°C in while gaming. I think this is how the phone was designed, otherwise Samsung would have not released it. You can take it to as many services as you want, but they can't fix something that ain't broken.
Unless it's overheating for no apparent reason (like high temperatures when it is in stand-by) then you should just leave it be.
I9506 user here. I would not worry, the phone is fine.
I got past 80 while gaming, too. It also gets hot while doing lots of websurfing, especially on cellular data. I've had the phone for a year and a half and never ran into issues because of the heating, although it does tend to get really hot in the summertime.
Edit: I just realized that this is a VERY old topic...
I know there are several threads from when the phone first launched about temps on this phone. There was a lot of back and forth between people saying it was running hot and others saying that it's in the normal range. Today my phone was in my pocket and the battery got up to over 101 degrees. The only app running (aside from the normal system apps) was battery saver. No custom roms, nor is it rooted. I wanted to at least save that for after my 14 day return window. Last night it went beyond 107 while playing a game without 3D graphics.
My heart tells me this is not normal and I should return the device. (Verizon) Is this normal for this phone or should I be looking at replacing? Thank you.
I hope you're talking about Fahrenheit. Mind you, you're on an international forum so please at least specify the unit of your measurment
That aside I havent done any concrete testing but I have noticed while playing and using certain apps (or even have it in the background) my d802 goes to a point where it's really uncomfortable to hold against your ear when a call comes in, so I presume it's around 35 to 40°C...
But that is only when I actively pushing it, otherwise no unexpected temp-peaks...
My apologies, yes those temps are in Farenheit, thank goodness. I believe I might take it back then. The instance in my pocket was certainly not pushing it, and the game I was playing didn't even seem to make my prior Galaxy Note 2 break a sweat. I don't believe it is a very demanding game, as far as these things go, and I almost always have my screen set to minimal brightness. Maybe later today I'll go make the switch.
Hi there,
I'm getting worried as this Exynos CPU gets warm, really warm. Am afraid some component will get damaged, 75C-77C and raising! while streaming mp3 and playing a 2D game, I've checked with CPU-Z every time. This usage shouldn't be a problem. I was doing the same setup three years ago with a Galaxy S2 i9100 with no overheating issues (50C max), what the HELL?
What's the normal functioning temp for this processor? What's the damaging threshold for it?
SM-N910C with BOC3 Lollipop, no root, 100% stock. Really thinking of downgrading to KK now
Try latest BOE3.
I'm on BOC3 and haven't experienced any overheating.
@Kinsman-UK - I can assure you that if you use Kingdom Rush (free in the Play Store) for more than 15 minutes your temps will skyrocket. Also, if you stream music (more usual) or data at the same time by WiFi you'll get a perfectly capable toaster. I did notice the thermal changes with the Smart Cover between the phone and my fingers.
@megatooth Upgrading to BOE3 can be a possibility, but I presume it'll be the same, no real changes there. I'm charging the phone and about to do the downgrade. Fingers crossed.
If anyone wants to replicate it, please install Kingdom Rush from the Play Store (free game) and stream some music at the same time. Never had such high temperatures in my android life, ever.
EDIT: megatooth was right and I was wrong, presuming tends to be wrong. It works, kids. Updated to BOE3 and got 40C after 30 minutes of playing and streaming. If anyone has the same problem, try updating.
hi, i just bought this from off of Expansys and received it today. After using it for a few mins (playing around with the settings, installing apps, etc..) I notice phone gets kinda warm. I waited until the phone felt like room temperate, but right after i used it again, it's the is feeling warm again. I did 2 benchmarks from Antutu and 3Dmark and both r reporting that my phone is underperforming and i took some pictures of the temperatures. At one point it was reporting 80 C, but it felt the same same it was like 40 C. Is my phone normal or defective? what should i do? Also, should i try installing the 5.1.1 OTA update to see if that fixes it? the phone is currently on 5.0.1 (or something similar)
So i feel like my Snapdragon S7 is getting hot when browsing web
And definitely when using the camera app.
Bought a laser temoerature gun and get between 33-42C after browsing the web
The latter was achieved during 1080p 60fps video recording for 5 min.
Is this normal or should i return it as tommorow is my last day?
Please comment what your temps are like during these apps.
Thanks!
My phone was getting quite warm when browsing and was draining battery. I kept disabling packages until this was fixed. Try this. Or if you are okay with full factory reset, try it and don't install any additional apps - just test the same thing first.
It shouldn't get hot while doing basic things. My phone only gets warm to the touch when I'm on VR and even then I don't consider it "hot". Disabling things or shut down all apps you have is not a fix either..it's just a workaround.. I would return it if I where you
My 935FD phone will get up to 96F (35C) while browsing or really doing anything with the screen on for more than 10 mins. It gets noticeably warm to the touch. I've already done a factory reset and disabled a few packages, but I'm not sure if this is just normal operation or not? Does everyone's phone get warm under normal use? What temps are you seeing after being in Facebook or just browsing for 10 mins straight? Trying to determine if mine might be defective as well.

I think I'm going to return mine today and get a new gs7
When I browse the Web the phone gets warm to the touch and it's annoying.
I get between 82-89F degrees just browsing the Web and if I try to use my camera
It gets to 97F like in 2 minutes.
My phone gets warm as well ehen browsing with Chrome, using the camera or facebook app. My phone is with the exynos chipset. I'm too concerned that might be an issue. I have already tried resetting the phone but it still gets warm ans sometimes even hot to the touch.

According to , my phone does got up to 36 C / 97 F while browsing the internet this morning. I let it cool down to 27 C / 80 F and took a 2 minute 1080p60 video and it went up to 32 C / 89 F.
Can anyone with a temperature gun measure theirs and see how it compares to the system temperature (e.g. BMW or GSAM) ?

What temp does your system report (BMW or GSAM if you need an app to measure it)?
Mine is almost every second at 26-29º celsius, and trust me, I make weird things with the phone! Like flashing things (so my screen is on almost 80% of daylight LOL).

My phone runs about 36c never seen above 40
Hi
So I bought my GS7E a week ago .. I started to notice that it heats so much when I use it
I just don't know if this is the normal heat for it or not so I wanted to know from your experience
so at normal base when I'm not using it it stays at 34-35C
When I use it for whatsapp, facebook an normal light use it goes up to 37C
when I charge it it goes up to 40C
and sometimes when it's in the car on in my pocket and nothing is running in the background it can go to 40C too
that makes it annoying to receive calls or to hold it and put it next on my ear
should I just keep it is it normal ? or is there a rom I could download? what should I do?
Hello to every one. Bought gs7 just two days ago.
I noticed mine gets warm after about 5_10 minutes of browsing the web. Right now its about 1 hour and its temp is 34`c. If i dont use it it goes down to 32 after some minutes.
After 20 minutes of playing gta vice city it reached 35 and afer 5 minutes of 4k recording it reached 37.
I wanted to know should i consider it normal?
Many forums state that 40 degrees battery temperature is not unsusual . However, 3-4 beers is also not unusual, but it does do damage to the brain.
On batteryuniversity.com I found an article:
"Lithium-ion suffers from stress when exposed to heat, so does keeping a cell at a high charge voltage. A battery dwelling above 30°C (86°F) is considered elevated temperature and for most Li-ion a voltage above 4.10V/cell is deemed as high voltage. Exposing the battery to high temperature and dwelling in a full state-of-charge for an extended time can be more stressful than cycling. Table 3 demonstrates capacity loss as a function of temperature and SoC."
I think this is frightful.
My S7 runs at an average of 32 degrees. (23 degrees ambient)
After half an hour of Gear VR it runs up to 43 degrees.
This means that on average this S7 runs above 30 degrees!
Should I ask a replacement or is my logic totally flawed?
Hi,
Mine, with factory reset and nothing running on background (S Health and all stock google and microsoft apps disabled), is not going below the 34 degrees without doing anything..very annoying touching the back and feel it warm.. I think I will ask for a replacement or at least a check in a experience store here in London..

Mine has gone up to 40 Celsius I have the exynos version that what the phone info app say
i notice mine would run that temp on with 4g on. so i was looking through my phone and fount google sync was turned on and i turned it off. That fixed the heat problem.
Hey guys, i have the Chinese variant of the s7 and mine also runs warm just browsing chrome, though I have to use a vpn as well. I'm past the point of getting a return, but they say I can take it in to get it checked. Have you guys had your s7 tested and is there anything they can do if there's anything wrong with the phone? I'm very frustrated over this, as I thought there would be improvements over the s5. Mine operates around 35c according to cool master and it's frustrating having a hot phone. I'm thinking of getting the supcase so I perhaps won't feel the heat so much. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is it normal for the snapdragon s7s to run a tad warm? And, you guys use a case that prevents you from feeling the heat? It's hard to use this phone naked, as the whole thing is metal and glass, so it's hot in your hand.
