Anyone else with this problem? I play a hd game and the area up around the camera gets hot to touch. Now if your using one of those thick covers you wont feel it. Anyone else having this?
I've noticed it gets a little warm. It's not Macbook Pro burning your legs hot, but it's warmer than when I first picked it up, although I kind of expected that with how thin the device is overall and the plastic materials. There's nothing to absorb the heat.
seems to be normal for me...almost every smartphones get hot while doing something nowaday
Any processor and battery will get hot. The reason you notice it around the camera is because the glass and metal that the camera body is made of will transfer heat more efficiently to your fingers than the plastic back, therefore making it seem hotter.

Its not mega hot but alittle more then my Dell streak 5. But my dell streak 5 had a all metal body so I knew it would act like a mega heat sink.
Just wanted to make sure I didnt have a problem unit. Funny thing is I play alot of the really good graphic games and it the game that makes it the hottest is.... Gem Miner 2? The game is not really that graphics intense but it heats up my phone more then any other action 3d hd game I have on the phone.. really wierd.

Does anyone else have issues with their screen acting crazy if your phone gets cold? When I am working outside I cannot even use my phone until I jump in the van and hold my phone over the heater for a minute.
I had an Evo 4g last year and don't remember having this issue.
Thanks 7
Occasionally I will notice the screen responding a little slowly in the cold. This doesn't seem to be a touch issue. Seems more like the screen is cold and it takes time for the graphics to change due to the cold. Are you noticing issues with touch functionality???

That can happen due to it being cold and your hands being hot will cause a humid like mist on the glass which will make it slow or laggy till you wipe it down.
Mine actually starts with phantom presses. I can't even answer a phone call sometimes.

I can get mine to do that. If I am outside in the cold or if I just washed my hands and go to use the phone as soon as it gets some humid or moisture on the screen it from slightly humid or wet fingers will go all funky and random things will happen. Lag or it will jump on to all over the place then hang wipe it down and your good to go.
If the glass is cold and your hands are warm it can do the same thing.
I just thought of a way to make money. A special phone pouch that attaches to your drawers. That way it keeps your phone warm, close to your junk, plus makes you look massive. It's a win-win.

Where would you plug it in to keep the heat? And, being close to your junk isn't the best idea. Read about cell phones and sperm counts.

Here is my pet peeve again. Heat.. I love this phone. Best phone I've had so far. The ONE and ONLY thing that is bothering me is how hot it's getting. I've made threads before for other phones asking if the heat is normal but this blows those out of the water lol.
I've come across a couple threads asking about heating issues but there weren't many responses so I'm just curious if this is happening to everyone?
Maybe because of the material it's made out of that we're feeling more heat.
I ask because I have 14 days from today to return it if anything is wrong and I don't wanna go through exchanging phone after phone after phone because they all have quality control issues. If it is indeed unusual for it to be getting so warm then I will have to exchange it. I just can't imagine what it will feel like in 85-90 weather..
Same with my phone. I thought this was kind of abnormal, but the only other smartphone I've had was the Sprint Epic 4G, which I've always used a ginormous case on... so probably couldn't feel the heat as much as using my One naked. I love the cool metal feel when you pick it up immediately, but I HATE the heat. It starts happening after browsing the xda app for like half an hour.

I read that the aluminum on the back is acting as as heatsink. It may not be getting hotter than other phones but it just feels like it is. I'm not sure. I wanna get some more opinions.
I'm not sure how you guys phones are getting hot. I'm stock rooted and unlocked and my phone has never gotten hot its actually the coolest phone I've ever had.

Lucky! The heat thing is my ONLY qualm about this particular phone. If there are many others with "cool" phones, I will probably consider swapping it out and seeing if it makes a difference.
Weird. I will test and report back. This would suck in the summer if so.

Aluminum is a great conductor of heat, most heat sinks are made of it. I have a droid DNA which is very similar to this phone and it also gets hot, but I dont feel it as much because of the plastic back but the battery temperature shows about the same levels between the 2 phones.
This phone has 4 cores that are running almost at 2 GHz plus a GPU. And said cores have to refresh over 2 million pixels at 30-60 fps. The phone is gonna get a little warm

Get an app that monitors the battery temp and see how it compares to other phones.
Just checked my battery temp thru Battery Info app = 31.6c - 88.8f. Seems pretty cool to me.
So far the only time I've noticed my phone getting hot was after laying out in the sun for an hour.
I don't play games on my phone though, I really just use it for web surfing, music, texting and taking pictures.
My GS2 got hotter.. so I haven't been too concerned.
I can search the web or go through this app without it getting anything but warm.... Start gaming though and it gets pretty toasty after 15-20

And run the hell out of thus phone and it doesn't get even 25% as hot as my HOX+ which literally radiates heat makes a great hand warmer in the cold though.

I've been on this app for about an hour and my phone got up to about 98-99 if I held my hand directly over the back of it. If I let it breather a little then it would go to about 91.

I have a Lumia 920 as well as the One, and the Lumia gets similarly warm, it's using a Polycarbonate body too. That said, neither one gets so warm that it's a problem, they pack so much into these small devices now it's a wonder they don't get hotter!
UPDATE:
Ok i just figured out its only one specific area that get warm, in the top right corner. when in landscape mode with power button facing up, this is a non issue as i simply flip the phone to the other side play my games
the back right corner gets a tad warm thats also a non issue and normal for most phones while gaming however I use the included sony case and feel nothing at all.
Love this phone, Iv had a great gaming experience. this will replace my nvidia shield as pc games stream perfectly full speed too. (just some mapping issues with droidmote and HID controllers needs a fixes)

As this is a thin device the screen gets extremly hot while gaming, is there any rom/mod to workaround this that anyone knows offp?

Well the only way to reduce heat is to downclock the processor, which means you need to root and download setcpu. But ftom my experience, it is not as hot as my previous razr maxx, and the good thing about this phone is there's a throttle control to prevent cpu overheat so no overly hot surface.

what I notice is that the heat is not consistent Some HD games (Conduit, Ravensword) dont cuz much heat and are reasonable, Novaa 3 causes alot and with MC4 the heat is inconsistent.

Yeah usually the more complex the game is, the hotter it will go. But seems like Sony capped it around 60C max so if the temp reaches there, the CPU will throttle.

What's extremly hot according to you? Just to have a scientific perspective.
I don't experience excessive heat, playing deathtrigger 2, gta3, real racing 3, candy crush
OP, are you gaming while the phone is charging? If yes, don't do that.
I'm not the biggest mobile gamer out there, but i have no issues with heat when i play Riptide GP2 and other GPU intensive games.

Even though I haven't played much I used setcpu and lowered the max from 2150 -> 1190.
All new phones gets hot in the CPU area. I guess it's impossible to design a thin phone and not get some kind of drawback.
I think due to the glass back of this device, the heat is quickly radiated to the ambient. I've an acer a700 sometimes it get so hot its not comfortable to place your fingers over there.
When playing games you should remove any casing, it works like an insulation. You will end up in a vicious heating cycle.
I got the phone form At&t about 3 days ago. The phone is perfect and everything work just fine no lags or anything. and the design is really really nice. However, The device have this overheating when taking picture or when I charge the phone. I know Verizon users have been complaining about the device overheating when playing game. Does anyone else have the same problem or do I need to get a new device since I am still under the 14 days exchange policy?
Mine warms up if I'm taking a lot of pictures. I have also experienced it getting warm playing a few games too.

Being constructed out of aluminum, the more you use it for extended periods of time or have you brightness at higher settings, the more often and much quicker it will heat up. That being said, if your just snapping a few quick pics, or texting a buddy for a few minutes without putting your phone back to sleep and it feels actually hot not just warm, then you might have an issue. It really just depends whether you can live with it or if it's going to be something that will bug you every time you notice it. If the latter of the two is the case then I'd suggest exchanging for a new unit.
Hope this helps^^^^^^
Thanks

I'd like to mention that the aluminum body also makes a nice heat sink. So it doesn't surprise me that you feel the warmth on the body of the phone. Plastic doesn't transfer heat nearly as well.

Yeah I know that. I'm only adding in my experience because I've seen so many people on here saying their M8 never gets hot. It's always going to vary from user to user but I don't want the OP to think he's the only one

One thing I do to save battery (and reduce heat) is Under Clock the kernel.
This device is pretty darn fast, and I don't notice the under clock in every day use!

Yes i am also not face this type of problem.
I'm concerned that because the nexus 9 uses almost the same nvidia chipset as the nvidia shield tablet, that the nexus 9 will have overheating problems. The nvidia shield got so hot that it basically cracked the case. Please let me know what your experiences are.

Hello,
From playing with mine for around an hour, it does get pretty warm but not hot enough to cause concern for me. I have seen tablets get much hotter in the past.
Subjectively, the back of mine feels about as hot as my Shield Tablet (departed). But the side/frame is aluminum, unlike the Shield which was plastic. So I'm not concerned.
Mine got a little warm but nothing hot

Mine definitely gets warm on the top half (holding in portrait) but I wouldn't say hot. Nothing unreasonable...my LG G3 gets warmer/hot.
I think the overheating problems mainly occur when playing graphic intensive games. The GPU (not the CPU) is probably the reason why it gets so warm. I wonder what would happen after a couple hours of playing Trine 2. Overheating probably won't happen under normal usage.
Anybody was able to compare how hot does it get compared to ipad? (especially ipad mini 2)
Mine gets warm, not hot.
Compared to my Shield Tablet, it's not even close.
Mine has not gotten even warm...its been plugged in for 3 hours now...setup up apps, browsed web, played a few YouTube videos fired up a few games..candy crush, slots and what not...nothing graphic intensive. Its maybe a degree or two warmer on top vs the bottom...barely noticeable. My g2 will get really warm,even hot if its charging and the screen is on. Not the case here.

Maybe the battery temp is a better indication of what the internal temp is. The outside could be warm, but the inside could be much warmer. I'm not really concerned about cracked corners like the nvidia shield had with this device, but high internal temp could potentially damage the circuits.
On a side note, it has come to attention that if you press in the middle of the back of the device, there is a lot of flex in the casing. If there is flex when pressing on the back, then there must be a space behind it. Maybe that space was intended to prevent the back of the device from feeling warm. So, it could definitely feel much cooler in the back than it really is inside.
Mine gets randomly hot. Like not even when under heavy load. I was browing the web the other day and it got to 43 C
The area near the rear camera gets warm, however I remember the Nexus 7 getting a lot warmer. I think you can probably run a Google search and find someone concerned about the heat put out by any tablet on the market (iPads included).
It's not something I'm concerned about because these chips are built to withstand a lot of heat and I suspect with future updates they may some refinement with how it runs and certainly when custom kernels start appearing it would be something we'll have a little more control over with having the ability to (hopefully) undervolt and adjust the CPU frequencies.
The Nexus 7 with the Tegra chipset or the Nexus 7 with the Qualcomm chipset got hot?
Just received mine today, when it downloaded and installed the OS update it got really hot, not unlike my Nexus 4 when it's being taxed. Battery drained a lot during that time as well.
I played asphalt8, simple rockets and plague inc for about an hour each, all games that used to set my optimus g on fire, and destroys my g2 battery. I can honestly say my battery took a noticeable hit, but it only got slightly warm. My optimus g used to get too hot to hold and then turn off. My (white 32gb ordered oct 17 delivered this morning) nexus 9 does not get hot, maybe warm like holding someone's hand. I know, this is 100% scientific, but all my other devices have gotten much hotter than what I tried to get this to. /2ยข
