[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iamjimmy:
Yes, mine get to 100-105 F range quickly on battery temperature.

Yesterday I had the following youtube, whatsapp, Browser and Gmail - I was switching back and forth and the phone was on 43 C (110 F), (granted I had 1080p video on and was chatting to a friend as well and responding to emails).. I had to then clear all apps and stop using the phone to allow it to cool down. The CPU temperature was over 58 C (measured using elemental X kernal with root access).

Something is wrong with either the 2 NEW Pixel XL phones that Google has provided me OR with the Pixel XL phone in general. There has to be a hardware problem. Maybe some phones are worse than others? Maybe it is a quality control issue?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
jesus 58?! mine only got to 45C and that's letting it sit in my center console while streaming youtube with the screen on
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iamjimmy:
Well, that was CPU temperature. The battery temperature was 43-44 C. I had to use a custom Kernel with Root to measure CPU temp, as most apps only give battery temp.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
:eek: haha oops, I had no idea EXKM did that, just enabled it to see how my cpu fares
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iamjimmy:
Thank you. EXKM will put a persistent notification.

I would be very interested to know what your temperatures are under mid-heavy load : both the battery temp and CPU temp.

It's basic knowledge that heat destroys processors and other circuits. I have to use coolers and thermal paste etc in my home computer when it gets too hot. I can't see why it would be different for a phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
yeah that's why I was so shocked at the temp, get the inside hot enough and any soldered components will begin to loosen. well lets see how it does
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ASimpleSock:
Google tells me it's 34° and the battery is at 42.2°

I'd love to check with Daydream!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
The phone is known to get very hot with Daydream. I'm more concerned with how hot the phone gets under normal operating conditions. My battery goes from 80F to 100F in seconds if I do anything as light as surfing the Internet, reading my email, browsing the XDA app or using the EBay app. 100F seems to be the base temperature of my battery if I am using the phone for anything. I suspect that Google knows these phones won't last more than a couple years. I'm not sure if I should wait to find out or just get rid of this thing while it still works. At least in the Nexus phones you had the option of flashing a custom kernel and changing the governor so the phone would run cooler. You can't do that with the Pixel--the phone runs at the same temps or even worse on a custom kernel. I already tried. I've never owned one but I'm curious if the Pixel XL runs significantly warmer than an iPhone. Or for that matter a flagship Samsung phone--other than the one that blew up, obviously.

https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...s-analysis-a-remarkable-consistent-performer/

So XDA went ahead and showed what the surface temp of their pixel is under their tests

http://www.buildcomputers.net/cpu-temperature.html

I thought the temp of the cpu temp was high, but compared to other processors this is pretty average/on the low side

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/archive/lithium_ion_safety_concerns

Turns out that's no where near as hot as it would need to be to be a safety issue for any of us.

http://bgr.com/2017/01/23/galaxy-note-7-battery-investigation/

if you're concerned why samsung exploded while ours hasn't, they have a good explanation about the construction of those batteries being flawed.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I'm not concerned with safety. I'm sure the Pixel is perfectly safe. I'm concerned this phone is going to eventually bootloop like the Nexus 6P, the Nexus 5X and multiple LG phones. I'm not one of those people who wants to have the latest of everything and if I spend a small fortune on something I actually want it to last for a long time. I do appreciate the links you provided and will look at the info later. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I don't think you can compare CPU temps on a computer with those on a smartphone for obvious reasons. The computer parts are spread much further apart than those on a smartphone and computers have multiple fans for cooling. I would be much more interested in knowing the CPU temp for the Pixel XL compared with other smartphones. The surface temps the Pixel XL reaches aren't indicative of how hot the phone actually gets inside. When mine shut down because of overheating it actually still felt cool to the touch.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] veskostoev:
Which app and rom you use i am on PN and EX kernel and cpu temp not available.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I thought Ex kernel showed the CPU temperature in their Android app as long as your phone is rooted. I was on DU but thought I was running ExKernel rather than the Unicorns Blood kernel but I could be mistaken. I'm back on stock currently. Since I couldn't change the CPU governor to one that would allow the phone to run cooler like on my Nexus phones I decided rooting and running a custom rom on the Pixel XL just wasn't worth the hassle. You are stuck with Google's high performance governor on this phone whether you want it or not.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
you need to download the Elemental X Kernel Manager and enabled the CPU temp notification.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] veskostoev:
I have the app EXKM and try everything also cpuz and others and my cpu temp not available.I think i had it before i update the latest version of kernel 1.12
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
I am able to get a thermal reading from EXKM but not from CPU-Z, I downloaded it and tried it out and that won't display the info.

AIDA-64 only gives the battery temperature from what I can see too.

On EXKM it took 5-10 minutes for the notification to be thrown, I thought it didnt work until randomly the second constant notification was placed. I am running EX 1.12 if that helps you any?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
One thread about the operating temperature of a single person using a Samsung S6 does not qualify as proof that the Pixel XL operates at a normal temperature. Unless you've been living under a rock the last two years you should know that Google doesn't have a good recent track record when it comes to their phones not operating too hot. Both the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P went into permanent bootloops within two years because of internal damage caused by heat. Not being concerned that the Pixel XL runs too hot because yours isn't broken yet is kind of like not worrying about global warming because it snows in December. The simple act of picking up my phone and the screen coming on makes the battery temperature of my phone go up nearly 20F almost instantly. That's because Google is using the same insane burn out the phone kernel settings that they used on those Nexus devices. The frequency of the CPU gets maxed out if you do literally anything with this phone. The CPU acts as if you are doing heavy gaming even if you are only checking your email or surfing the internet. That makes the CPU unnecessarily hot pretty much any time you are actually using your phone. But I'm sure the Pixel XL has nothing else in common with those recent Nexus phones and that there's no chance the Pixel XL will break within two years because of all that unnecessary heat. With Google's recent track record how can you not trust them completely. Right?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
say what you want, it doesn't mean google is going to re-write their warranty process when your phone is operating well within normal ranges.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Pixel support won't tell you what is considered the normal operating temperature of the phone. They claim to not have that information and without it its impossible to tell if a specific phone is operating at a normal expected temperature or not. That's why I started this thread--to figure out whether I need to RMA my phone or not. Google is more than willing to RMA my phone but it was purchased new less than two months ago and Google is going to send me back a refurbished one. I don't want to swap the phone I purchased new for a refurbished one if it's just going to end up running at the exact same temperatures anyway.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] speedingcheetah:
Interesting to read all about your issues...but now i wonder if the regular Pixel 5 in model has heat issues? I have a buddy who owns the smaller Pixel and he is an Uber driver and has never had his phone shut down even when he has left it in super hot car.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Not sure if the phones are that different inside but maybe they are. It's also possible there is a hardware problem with my phone but I don't want to RMA until it happens again.. But I can't imagine an Uber driver would use a car without a working air conditioner like my piece of crap car so his phone probably didn't get as hot as mine.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] speedingcheetah:
he doesn't use AC except when he has passengers..or when its really really hot.....either way he tells me it sits on his dash in hot sun all the time...he doesn't care that it might be bad for it..he has the 2yr google warranty..so if it break or melts he can just have it replaced.

I have had many phone over the years...some have gotten quite hot, but have never ever shutdown on me. One of my LG's did pop up a warning on rare occasion that the high screen brightness to high and it lowered it due to temperature...or something.. Never had Chrome cause a phone to heat up at all. Charging, playing vids or streaming yea..sure...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I read a couple complaints of the Galaxy S6 shutting down from overheating but I never had it happen with a phone I owned before the Pixel XL. Some people have said their Pixels get so hot in the car they can't use the phone at all and some people claim no matter how hot their Pixels get they never overheat so it's possible there is a hardware issue with some of these phones. Unfortunately Pixel support isn't at all helpful in trying to determine that. They wouldn't say that my phone did anything unusual in shutting down like it did and also wouldn't say whether the base operating temperature of 100F for light activity on my phone is normal. It's frustrating because I honestly don't know if there is something wrong with my phone or if an RMA will just get me another phone that acts exactly the same way. You would think Pixel Support would have a good idea of whether your phone is malfunctioning or behaving normally but they don't seem to have a clue.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fatapia:
you should check out the LG V20 then, apparently it hits 80C. And it has the 820 chipset, ours is 821. Crazy their phones still work and dont throttle until they hit that mark lol.

the link I'm citing for 80C https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v20-mod-stops-slowdown-charging/

I'm telling you man you got a

lemon

!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Go to the official Google Support Threads for the Pixel XL and see for yourself how many people got phones that were lemons. There are a lot of reports of Pixel Phones completely dying without warning--there are more than 50 people who reported that problem and now that the phone has been out for a while it seems like there's a new complaint about that happening to someone every day. Funny how you don't find anyone discussing this on XDA. Lots of people who RMA their phones to Google also report that there are serious and immediately obvious problems with the refurbished phones they get back and that they have to RMA again. Some people say they are on their third or fourth Pixel already. While all of this sounds eerily similar to what was happening to Nexus 6P owners the one thing that is very different this time is that none of this stuff is being reported on or discussed in XDA.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
To clarify my previous statement there have actually been a number of individual posts on XDA from people who reported that their Pixels died without warning but nobody seems to want to link the posts together and admit that they represent any kind of a trend.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] speedingcheetah:
I've had my Pixel XL for 2 weeks or so now.... In an Otterbox Defender case.

It has gotten quite warm at times....but no shutdowns or signs of thermal throttle.

The hottest i have felt it is after 30min of use in DayDream VR headset.

I stuck in my Moto X Pure in DayDream and that got even hotter.

I have no signal. None. No amount of modem flashes, wipes, new roms, anything helps it. I can't think of whats wrong

some roms i dont have any signal at all, some i have no BT APN (im on bt UK), some roms if i set my network to BT and sort out the APN I get "E" data and full bars for a while, then the signal drops and it dont get it back.

Ive locked, unlocked the bootloader, flashed many recoveries, etc, i still cant do anything, any ideas?

Does anybody know of a debloat script for a5 2017 a520w. Please direct me to it if there is. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] burnt_31:
DEBLOAT SCRIPT SOLVED

Use this information at your own risk. I am not responsible for any stupidity or bricked devices. The information below was retested before I posted it. It does work if done correctly.

I tested this first on my stock firmware A5 2017 A520W rooted with TWRP 3.0.2.0 . Bell is my carrier.

I went from 302 apps/data elements down to 155 after flashing Touchwiz_Debloat Scriptv2.zip. I used Titanium Backup to remove more , I am at 128 apps/data elements. This can be tweaked more depending what you want to keep.

I just tested this on my...

A5 2017 A520W Rooted and TWRP 3.0.2.0 for custom recovery also using Protax V1 Custom ROM

From Here

https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/rom-protax-stock-deodex-odex-root-t3561353

Touchwiz_Debloat Scriptv2.zip

From Here

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/script-touchwiz-bloating-script-222-apps-t3258537

The debloat script works well on Protax V1 ROM. I went from 308 apps/data elements down to 178 apps/data elements and once again I used Titanium Backup to remove several more.

I am looking forward to the AXES V1.2 ROM mods with Nougat mods. I do hope it is not bloated. I really miss Cyanogen/Lineage OS ROMS, no bloatware.

One of these days I will create my own debloat script. But for now, why reinvent the wheel when it is already round and rolling.

I would like to thank the programmers and developers of Touchwiz_Debloat Scriptv2.zip and Protax V1 ROM for bringing us these tools for our A5's to make them more enjoyable.
