[Q] Overheating issue

Is anybody experiencing overheating issue? The phone gets really hot playing games and watching videos and stuff.
I guess it has something to do with GPU since I don't experience the problem when I am performing normal tasks, checking emails, browsing websites, etc.
I am just wondering if this is normal. I also notice that some game plays are very choppy. The games like samurai vs zombies or dragon flight runs slow from time to time. Do you think this is linked to the overheating issue?

I watched 3 straight hrs of video on a flight. Phone never even felt warm.

Really? Have you tried playing games?
I believe it is throttling the core speed to manage heat. When I play 3d games, it runs perfectly smooth until it gets warm, at which point the game runs a little more choppy. I noticed this also when running benchmarks. When thermal throttling, the CPU speed is around 1200GHz, whereas when cool, CPU speed is 1500MHz.
I am noticing phone is hot to touch. But the device is so thin. I think it transfers through device more. I have not seen any excessive temperatures

When I was using the Google Navigation for less than 1 hour, the phone became blistering hot on the screen as well as the back. Hot enough to act as a hand warmer for a few minutes.

The same here. Any heavy activity on GPU will shoot up the temperature of the phone. Is this normal? Maybe because I don't have case around, the phone feels hotter? I am thinking about replacing the phone. Any thoughts?

Funny, that you should ask. It did seem to warm up while playing Angry Birds Star Wars edition, this evening. Performance didn't change and it was just a little warmer, but definitely didn't feel "hot" (even by computer standards).

[Q] Phone over heats while playing games.. wasnt happening 2 weeks back!! HELP

too hot to touch
Same thing happens for me.It gets heated up and especially over the sim area,it is too hot..I usually play angry bird,subway surfer.My battery conditions is also very poor.It lasts for only 5 hours whn I have turnedd off auto sync,internt,wifi,bluetooth,3g,lowest brightness.I played these games fr 1 hour and 20 min phone call.Pathetic condition.
ehm, I think you guys should say that to the HTC company itself, never happens with me, and I game alot.

device getس very hot on gaming !!

after a 20 minutes of gaming device gets very very hot !!
Clean up your phone and dont charge while playing.. its a problem on all mid end phones
Changing the governor and / or the frequency can also help
but Would it damage device!! , Or is it bear this heat
though its a common issue in smartphones these days its advisable not to play for prolonged time as s4 processors tend to heat up a lot limit your game play time and your device will be fine i play real racing 3 all the time does heat up when it gets too hot i leave it on standby to cool and then back to playing
Yeah,also our phone has some aluminium parts on it,and we all know that aluminium is a good heat conductor,so it has a big party in absorbing that heat,try to touch that part around the camera when it gets hot. So that might add a feeling that the phone is really hot. The heat is normal,the only problem is that it's lowering the life of the battery,but it's nothing to worry about to much,just as soon as it gets hot,leave it for some time to cooldown and there you go.

Gaming and overheating

Very tempted to get a P9000 but worried the phone overheats when gaming as it has a Mediatek based CPU. My Lenovo K3 Note starts to overheat after just 10 minutes gaming and the FPS in games drops significantly.

I am playing Nintendo DS emulator, PSP emulator und sometimes some games like GTA. It will be warm, of course it will because of CPU, but it never overheated for me, and i do heavy task
Really tempted to get this package: http://shop.gizchina.com/elephone/elephone-p9000-4gb-ram-32gb-rom-smartphone-660.html
Comes with everything I would need. Is this a big upgrade from the Lenovo K3 Note?
yes it really overheat while playing games even though I play it for almost 10 mins. and the heat came from the back and also the screen,,

What do you understand with overheat? Becoming warm isnt overheating.
I've ran some pretty long and extensive performance benchmarks and done some playing.
The phone does get rather hot when playing for extended periods but has never shut down for me.
(mine is in the Elephone black flip-case (got it with the phone straight from Elephone)) so I suspect that keeps it even warmer.
