Overheating!

[jwaves]

running codename (latest) and franco kernel (latest) my phone hits 100 degress plus after 2 min phone calls and txts. I left my phone in my pocket for about and hour and it was still hot thinking of reverting to stock an re-rooting and flashing everything any other ideas?

really really dumb question but are u sure you are reading 100 degrees C, not F? 100F isnt that hot for electronics, but I dotn know how that particular rom and kernal display temps.

If you are getting 100C with your phone you shouldnt even be able to hold on to it for longer than a second, thats hot enough to give you a first degree burn.

Is there a thermometer on the phone?

He didn't say the units of measure, obviously F is more realistic.

I agree, and 100F also is nothing to bat an eye at, thus is why i was curious.

its F. and idk my phone just seems warmer compared to a few weeks ago. And whenever it gets hot it kills the battery.

I have battery widget it displays the temperature

Well its not the heat killing the battery... It's whatever process you're running that is taxing the phone resources. The phone heat and battery drain are both effects of using lots of resources.

Is there any app to measure internal temperature?

 

[Tyegly]

Many battery apps will give you the internal battery temperature. I've also heard that some battery apps can cause issues with 4G phones, though I can't personally confirm this.

I use an app called Phone Info which gives a lot of info including the battery temperature.

On my old Palm Pre, I had a homebrew apps that gave battery temperature and CPU temperature. They were never the same. Some things caused the battery to heat up and some things caused the CPU to heat (overclocking, for one). Would be nice to have an app that showed the battery and CPU temperatures but maybe the GNex isn't capable of measuring the CPU temp?

I've tried using various battery meter apps and widgets. But, usually end uninstalling them because they drain the battery too.

Typically it is a process that is causing an overheat. Or even sometimes the 4G/3G switch. I find it that when I'm using 3G, my nexus, bionic and razr maxx get quite warm. Try using juice defender and android assistant, you should see it cool down significantly with that app running and maintain an amazing battery life.
