Ok,so my vibrant gets pretty dam toasty.reaching temps in the mid 115F and thats after about 30 mins of use. Even worse when playing games. So is this normal? And is it going to catch on fire? Lol

doubt it. i do get to about 113 F sometimes with charging. Never had a phone run this hot before but i think it should be okay.
Nominal combustion/corrosion for these types of plastics is 100*-200*.
Now, 100* at prolonged periods can warp the plastic, but you need much more heat to actually combust (catch fire). Battery expansion on the other hand can cause combustion immediately, but that occurrence is very rare.
*You are fine.
Yea didn't really think my vibrant would catch on fire.that part I was joking about.but dam it gets hot!

My Vibrant gets up to around 40-45° C when charging or using Mobile AP.
Sometimes it turns itself off in this situation, but I think that may be SetCPU's fault. Overclocking always makes things less stable.

Sometimes you can cook an egg on my vibrant, especially when playing games, or when it is charging.
However, if it is getting excessively hot, try exchanging it.
I made a thread once asking people their vibrant temp, not everyone indicated high temps.

My new Galaxy s2 gets pretty hot while playing Game Dev Story. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
I don't think so, its just the CPU kicking in to run the game. Nothing to worry about unless the phone is literally like, scorching hot though; to the point where its too hot to handle or something.
Mine gets real warm while playing asphalt 6 i wouldn't worry to much unless like previous post says

GDS isn't CPU intensive so clock your CPU down to about 600/400mhz when playing. Save battery and heat

Is it safe to play long hours with Att Galaxy Note? I'm running 1566max/382min OnDemand and I noticed after 30-45 mins of gaming my "phoblet" gets very hot...
So no one plays on their notes? Hmmm
I play MC3 and Shadow Gun and of course it's going to get warm. These games are extremely graphics intensive. Heck my phone gets warm from simply surfing the net. If its getting crazy hot. Take a break.

That's the thing I'm not sure what "crazy hot" is like Prolly burning hot?
if you see 55c that's getting to the dangerous hot
anything less than 50c you are still fine, and can play for as long as you want

Any good app that you recommend that would show you temps?
Hmmm is battery temp = cpu temp? I didn't think so but the apps that I can find, I noticed they are showing same results from battery temp I found in setcpu...
Looking at the battery temp will be a good enough gauge of when you should stop

Does the LGOG get hot?
If not 30 mins, when?
I ask because my one x gets progressively hotter after 30 to 45 mins of playing any game. arcane legends, angry birds, draw something or modern war. even after that long using the WiFi hotspot. just seeing if this is a non issue for the LGOG.
Thanks
This would be an issue for all phones. Running the display and discharging the battery as much as you would need to make all the calculations in any game make a phone get hot, however someone with this device may be able to say how hot it gets.

It gets warm like any phone will, but I've never had it get uncomfortably so. I know a few people have had an issue where the LGOG will randomly overheat, but I think that's due to a bad battery or other non standard issue.

This phone gets crazy hot when you game on it. Nothing to do with bad batch or battery. It's a op quad core in a glass container with little ventilation.

Pretty much this. Any 3D intensive game on my OG heats it up like crazy.
I play a lot of games on my phone, it does not heat up like the sensation did after a bit of playing. I've put in some long sessions on it too.
With eco mode on my device doesn't get hot on intensive games.

I've never had mine get hot enough for me to worry.
I started playing real racing 3 and after setup, playing half a race and I couldn't even touch it by the camera area. It also started smelling like plastic burning.

Eco mode. The LGOG is more than powerful enough to run games so running at lower frequencies won't really hurt the performance.

Thanks all. Sounds good to me!
I haven't used it heavily today, nor very recently, but the battery is up to 100℉ degrees right now. It's a pretty nice (read: comfortable) temperature in the house too.
So I have to wonder just how hot the One is going to get when summer rolls around and it's in the 90s℉.
I'm not worried about it right now, but for those of you in climates that are hot already, how is your phone holding up?
FWIW: the aluminum must disperse the heat pretty well. The temp dropped by 3 degrees while composing this message. So that's pretty nice.

Dude this isn't a baby with a fever. Stop checking its temperature and just enjoy your phone.

It is kinda a valid question. My Lumia 920 would get so hot that if I made a call, it wasn't comfortable near my ear. It has been in the 80's here, and no problems as of yet. I have noticed that for some reason on both of my devices, the app Viber heats them up quick, that's the only one I have seen do this.
Unless you plan on leaving it on your dash, it won't matter too much. Its not a PC in a hot room.

When these new high end phones get hot (I think the One is an internal temp above 34C) they start to under clock the processor and the GPU.
So yes heat WILL effect performance.

The construction of the phone acts like a heat sink drawing heat away from the components. I was told. So mean yeah it would get hot but not really affect the phone itself.

This worries me never had this issue with note 2. Should I go back or forget about the heat and let the phone melt?
Oh I am POSITIVE this will get nowhere near as hot as my Verizon Galaxy Nexus did....I can already tell and I have only had the phone for a day. Even just texting and doing some random playing with it to get used to everything..its pretty cool..By now my Nexus would be frying my ear if I had a call
All electronics are affected by heat..but if this is any indication,,,,it will be warm..but not enough to fry an egg on!

Try using your phone while doing something intensive, like playing a graphics intensive game. It gets pretty hot.

Also check if nfc is on. On my wife's she was complaining about it getting hot. Once we turned nfc off it stopped getting hot. The only time I notice mine gets hot is when I have gps on, playing ingress lol

my phone has never heated up.. its weird it gets warm at times but thats about it..never gets to hot to the touch.
When you play games the phone gets very hot but so does sgs4. In fact every android phone and I had a lot of them got hot when playing games except note 2.
Room/outside temperature doesn't affect the phone temp? So if it's 90 degrees in your room your phone will battery temp will be 74 like it would be on a 70-75 degree day?
Been noticing that while using it the back gets really warm. Almost certain this was not an issue before. Exchange needed?

Your phone comes with built in protection to throtle down the CPU when it gets too hot in order to avoid frying it. With that mod what you did was to tell the phone to forget about throtling down and to simply run as fast as it needs to no matter the temp. This makes it a lot harder for the phone to cool down on its own (since the CPU is still producing a lot of heat) and I guess I don't have to tell you how bad heat can be for electronics...

If it gets very very hot, I am sad to inform you, that your unit is faulty.
I had the same problem with my first unit. Also noticed that the benchmark results were quite lower as they should be.
Exchanged it for another one, this one gets only mildly hot and benchmark result are what they should be!
this is the first phone I've had in a while that doesn't actually get super hot.. like my s4 and dna did. how hot are we talking? hottest I've gotten up to was probably 38 degrees Celsius for battery temp, and like 65 for cpu

You got it!
I feel sorry for all the Sprint employees and LG for the users that blindly turn off thermal throttling, having no clue what it does, and then blame the phone for being defective.
Recently some of my games for updated and now running a lot cooler. I think most game still ramped up the gpu way too high than why needed to run the game smoothly.

This.
Even when I punish this phone it just gets slower, never really hot at all. I used to be afraid of burning my hands on my SGS II, but this never gets hot enough for me to worry at all.
So if my G2's cpu gets to 70 degrees and battery about 43 degrees in 10 minutes of playing gtasa, is that bad enough for service?

You know my phone got really hot with my 3 to old playing Angry Birds Go the other day and I was pretty sure this had something to do with it. The only thing is that the way this is worded is confusing as heck. Do I need to have this switch in the on or off position? High temperature property off? Seems like the ON position is correct so it will throttle down the CPU accordingly.
