Temp gets hot and battery drains so fast - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Just want to confirm whether anyone is in the same boat. My G5 SE gets warm at the back during normal use (youtube, browser, whatsapp, tinder, pokemon go(with or without)) and the battery drains so fast that I can charge it 3 times a day. Been using for like 3 months, it could last almost a day and half when it was new during the first couple weeks.
On thermal section CPU-Z application showed:

That particular temp never gets lower than that number and can reach about 90ish degrees celcius
Can anybody post their CPU-Z screenshot over this thread for a comparison purpose?

Light browsing outside with wifi. But I don't have all the same sensors like you..
Edit: I just saw that you have the LG G5 SE. I have the LG G5 H850. But that temp is not normal I'd say. But there are other threads with the same problem.

Care to show some? thanks anyway for sharing yours

Mines got extremely hot, to the point I've had to pull the battery out and put it by a fan on full blast. Doesn't seem to happen when it's on charge though.

My temps .. Some web browsning and xda app on wifi. H850

Mine doesn't always get hot when charged as well and it's hard to tell the exact heat since mine has a case on that I'm too lazy to take off but it gets warm easy during normal use. Thanks for sharing anyway, could've posted your cpu-z's thermal section tho

What's the pa_therm0? coulda scrolled down a little bit more until it's visible though. Anyways thanks for sharing

Hi there. My phone G5 H860 also gets hot since I bought it the other day. I tried monitoring it. But when I did a factory reset. All temperature are now down. Seems an app or a file or data is the culprit for it. Try doing a factory reset. Hope that helps. Really loving the G5. Premium indeed. Waiting for my Spigen tough armor

I think it would be tough for me to do a factory reset at this point because I've already got apps of choice installed, settings customized and what not to the point that I feel every thing is settled /:
Anyways thanks for sharing, you might also want to consider getting a Spigen Crystal Shell as I'm using it and loving it

EVO 3D Battery Error

I believe that means your battery is overheating. I think it happened to me on my og EVO once. I set my phone down turned it off came back later and it was all better!

Yeah..pretty common with some evo3d's..the battery isnt making good contact on the points..just put a little piece of cardboard or something between battery and the inner rim of the phone to help push the battery into the gold points of the phone..I had this problem and never seen it again after doing this.

LMAO go talk to Sprint and get a new phone. These so called "fixes" are the reason why manufacturers don't give a **** about quality products anymore, too many people settle with broken ****.
Oh and by the way, let's say his battery is overheating and he takes your advice; cardboard/paper catches fire... And he now has no phone.

pretty sure he can tell if his phone is over heating if he really wanted to..the cardboard is no where near where the battery connects to the points.So if it magically catches fire then I guess you would be right..As for the manufactures not caring about quality control sure I get your point.But thats not the point of the thread.He asked why its happining and there are only 2 ways it has ever happend to me.Over heating and/or battery not making good contact..Just offered a simple "fix" for the moment.If it doesn't fly with him then he can go waste his time getting a replacement that may very well do the same thing.
What kernel are you using? That can have an affect on it too

According to another thread, this phenomenon is known as "randomly sausage". (I really hope I'm not the only one that understands this)
Hello,
Of a similar bent, multiple times since I had a Refurbished 3D sent to me, the Battery has drained to zero whilst being plugged in to the Charger. This has primarily occurred when plugged into the Wall as opposed to say my Laptop. It happened again this Morning.
When I insert a different Battery, it seems to fix the problem and the 3D Charges as usual. However, this is one damn annoying issue.
Cheers,
JJ

Heat caused screen discoloration

First of all I want to point out that i'm not blaming anyone other than myself. I know it was my retarded act that caused this so no need to come in the thread and say it was my fault and that i'm king of tardland.
So, the other night. I left a 3d game on my phone and plugged it into my charger and then fell asleep with the mofo under my pillow. I also have a hybrid case on it if that makes any difference for everyone to know. A layer of silicon, and an outer of plastic.
AHHHH. I wake up the next morning, the phone had not throttled or shut off, it was too hot to touch, so I immediately killed it, unplugged it and waited for it to cool. When I booted back up, it looked like-a-this!
Here on google plus, shouldn't require a login
You can see a central square where the proc is that got hottest and then it fans out from there. Crazy stuff.
Like i said, I shouldn't have fallen asleep with the damn thing under my pillow, this i know. But damn samsung, people be fallin asleep.... people be fallin asleep! Does the stock kernel not have a thermal shutdown?
It is getting replaced free of charge of course, but I wanted this info to be out there so no one else falls asleep on theirs. Thanks for reading guys!
wait, so you left the screen on ALL night, under your pillow?
damn dude. lol
and i heard that they do shut down at a certain temp! that's weird it didn't..that sucks
That sucks. How many hours would you say it was under the pillow?

The on board temp sensor should trump all other settings and turn the phone off.
Are you running stock? I have a setcpu profile that will throttle down the cpu if it gets too hot. However, the reason the screen didn't go off is because you had a game open and since it thinks you are playing or watching something it will not time out.
Glad you are getting a free replacement!
I have had that happen with the S3 before, but was not a resource hungry app running and was running at 384 instead of full speed.
Had it with a tablet as well and was a resource hungry game. No display discoloration though, but likely due to a bigger footprint to displace heat better.

I was running a rom. It was an official verizon tw based rom. I feel it is important that I do not disclose which rom I was on as it was not a rom problem and I do not wish to discourage people from downloading it.

Actually, that could be entirely important if said rom had a custom kernel.
Oh ****. The rom I had was a stock kernel that is why I said it was not relevant.... but you just made me remember that earlier that day I flashed a custom kernel. Let me look at its github and talk to developer about the default settings before I name said kernel lol.

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here
Well, the thread can be closed because I destroyed the phone :good:
Time to get a new one and put on a screenprotector asap.
what, why, how?
removing the anti shatter layer? if so what's wrong?
I have got the exact same thing with my phone

My cats had went haywire in the kitchen so I slipped on the floor and the phone went flying. I laughed because it was so stupid. This is the second time this happens in the kitchen.. anyway, I will order a new one tonight.
I should probably be sad and stuff but for some reason Im not.
Good to know you also have it though, so that I wont be bothered on the new unit

[Q] Does the Alpha overheat that much?

Hi Guys,
I want to purchase this phone next month (due to expering contact).
But I read on android authority that this phone regurarly overheats.
I rather trust the people here who uses their Alpha on regular basis.
Is it true that this phone often overheats like the S2?

I have had mine 2 months and its never overheated for me.
Now it gets warm like any phone but only when you hammer it. Its in a case all the time also.
The Android Authority are not the authority on this occasion.
The phone is super fast and a real underrated handset. You wont regret it.
Any other Q's just ask.
same hire
Mine isn't over heating ,
3 days ago, it was overheating , than i restarted phone and than problem solved .
Sony phones are king of over heating
Thanks guys for your quick response.
I definitely am convicted to buy this phone..

after 1++ hour of gaming, the area near the cpu had the same temp as all the other surface (im talking about the area of the backcover),
so im guessing , the phone doesnt have overheating issues.
in this pic u can see where the cpu is located:
(notice the 2 metal plates, cpu is under the big metal plate(near his thumb))

6.0.1 update

Just received OTA update here in Belgium (build MEC23G) and aside of the new gestures (wich are quite nice) and other small modifications...they seems to have fixed the ugly always on mode!!
Now, the always on mode looks like the dim settings in the watchfaces making apps (seems like they finally agreed to disable the low bit ambient mode)
Edit: adding some screenshots (made with the wear app):
On mode:

Ambient mode:
About > versions screen:
EDIT 2: about battery life; watch fully charged, put off the charger at 12, moderate use with notifications on, wifi on, always on mode on and wrist activation on, still 42% at 2am (14h later so). Not bad for myself, but can't really tell if worse or better than previous firmware (the watch was a birthday present, got it only since 28th of january)
And as for the lags, all clear also until now.
Waiting for it in Italy!!! How about battery life and lags?

Can't tell about battery life yet, as the update popped during this afternoon
Will charge it up this night, and check for it tomorrow.
And for the lags, all clear for now (except when apps are syncing...whiwh is pretty normal behaviour)

Don't loose faith; usually, we're the last served for OTA's and such; yours should arrive quite fast
The reason I can't wait is that we have waited long enough to get the Huawei Watch speaker working
I really appreciate the update, OP.
I might sell my Huawei to buy another 360. I sold my v2 when the ambient mode looked like ass.
I bump my damn Huawei on everything, it's just not nearly designed as well as the 360.

Has that been confirmed? What's that hole under the mic?
Already been confirmed by various teardownd, and even by motorola that the 360 doesn't have speaker. The hole under the mic is only a lip for removing the back of the watch.
And as i said before, nothing in the menus either about the presence of speaker support (but but not really a surprise, as the watch isn't supposed to carry one)

Clearly know what you mean, i was really disapointed too by ambient mode before update (even thought i had a defective unit at first, then checked online and realise it was a "feature" :/ )
In Germany here still no OTA. Does someone know if there is a way to force it?
