so much for self cooling

[pjwk81]

Is that Gsam app popular?

Pretty much useless for tracking down a rogue app unless you're rooted, but tells you a tiny bit more than the stock battery tracker in stats.

As for the phone, these days since the battery turned useless, every time I use it for more than 5 minutes it's absolutely roasting.

holy crap! I freak out when mine hits over 90 and set it on a fan or put an ice pack on it. I couldn't imagine 117. Mine is usually in the mid 80's

Don't. Let it cool by itself. Rapid cooling from heat is what makes materials like glass brittle. You may already have caused micro-cracks on it, making it more susceptible to breaking if it falls. The more you do this, the more micro-cracks, you know the drill.

I only have one bar of 4G coverage but still use it because the battery drains like there is no tomorrow on 3G

Still 19% of your power consumption is going to your cellular radio and that seems pretty high... if you are under wifi and don't need it, is there any reason to leave the cellular data on?

117 is not really hot.

I only get 16.5gb of data per month on my wifi. With getting seven to eight hours screen on time per charge even with my weak signal the 19% or whatever the cellular radio says is irrelevant to me because I'm already getting more than double the screen on time of some people on this forum even with only one bar of signal

Come to think of it, don't a lot of phones get warm under sustained use?

On my former daily LG G4, for example, the processor once went above 158 degrees during sustained use. The battery was just shy of 105 degrees, but it was still hot enough to make the top portion of the screen pretty darn toasty, to the point where touching it for more than a second was almost uncomfortable.

And yes, the heat was one of the reasons why I'm no longer using it as my daily. I know phones get warm under sustained use, but if it gets pretty hot while it's in my pocket, then we have a problem.

What Android version does your G4 have?

 

[digitalbreak]

Mine gets hot, around 40°C if I use:

1) Google Photos app to stream content to Chromecast.

2) Using the phone when Google Play updates my apps (not when I select an app to install, but when I go click 'Update All')

I just can't understand how Google can let this slip or otherwise it could very well be Samsung's issue.

And, when I used Samsung Good Lock lock screen, my phone was always warm.

Anybody else seeing similar issues?

Marshmallow 6.0, but it also got that warm on 5.1 Lollipop.

Mine gets hot every time when updating all. I've also don't understand why it can only download and install the apps one at a time. On windows phone it would download one, start installing, then download the next app and so on. You didnt have to wait for an app to completely install before it started downloading the next one
