Thermal throttling seems to be a huge issue on this device... When it warms up it drops the clock speed of the cores to just 900mhz and reduces the maximum brightness to about 77%... And on my device there seems to be some regions on the LCD that are brighter, I'm guessing screen damage from overheat.... Of anyone knows how to fix that out would be awesome!

Phone gets hot

Hey everyone
my phone gets heated up itself. Not very hot but slightly hot and it gets cooled itself. What could be the reason or can it damage the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Well, that sometimes happens to my LG P500, but I think it is normal.
Mine behaves the same way...
I think it becomes hot (warm we should say) mostly in 3G mode, especially when combined with tethering.
every smart phone heats up when doing a task for a continued amount of time. your phone will heat up while talking a call for more than 30 minutes, watching video (like a movie) downloading data via wifi, 3g and 2g. browsing the gallery for an extended amount of time.
but it is not the phone cpu that heats up. its the rapidly discharging battery.
lg p500 can heat up to a temperature of 55 degrees celcius while discharging and 44 while charging though the standard charger.
so dont worry, it is a normal phenomenon and the phone will not get damaged due to such heat.
Yh my p500 gets red hot if I use it a lot which is getting annoying
Our phones is really HOT.

I also noticed that my P500 gets really hot when charging and when I video chat with yahoo messenger. the hot spot is somewhere where the google logo is.

Well said. Thanks for the info
You can try with an other battery. If the problem persist, is an phone issue...
If is 'hot' as 'I cannot keep the phone in my hands' probably is a phone issue. If it is 'warm' is just like any android more or less. But as DeuxEx says, just try another battery if you can. They cost 3-5$ each in ebay.

as all the above said, your being heated up is not unusual,
if you are overclocking, set a temperature profile
or take off the battery case and put it into the fridge for 3 minutes! (i really did this once )

[Q] Phone gets Hot

Is it normal, that the phone gets really hot, if i play some games !? i mean, sometimes it's so hot, that i can't touch the screen ...
Completely normal

Mine heats up like crazy if I just use Wi-Fi intensive applications (Skype etc) while charging!!
What about playing videos whilst charging? It heats up like a freshly baked pie!!

Of course it gets hot if you do anything CPU intensive for any length of time (even more so on charge). The CPU has no cooling, no effective heatsink & is in a very enclosed space near other components that also get hot (including the battery). It's not like a PC CPU which has at least one fan & a heatsink (and vents), not to mention plenty of clearance (compared to a phone at least) between components in a desktop PC at least which allows heat to dissipate better.

OC to like 1.4 GHz, OC GPU, Max screen brightness, charge and play graphic intensive games :good:
It's normal
I know this is an old thread, but I just started having this problem. I've had my Galaxy S2 since March 2013 but only in the past week as the phone been heating up and draining battery power to almost nothing in a matter of four or five hours. I used to be able to use the phone multiple times over the course of the day with no issue of heating or battery power, but ever since Friday 12/13 I've had this problem. It gets so hot I keep it off until I need it, and I'm used to keeping it turned on. Even keeping it in airplane mode doesn't keep it from heating up. I've had other Samsung Android phone users tell me of the same thing happening only in the past week, not before that. Any idea what it could be?

Thinking of RMAing my device

Whats up XDA,
Like a lot of people here I'm having constant overheating issues. But, unlike others it's not just related to the camera. my device is noticeably warm to the touch when: listening to Google music, Surfing on Chrome. or any activity where the screen has to be on for 2-3 minutes. It idles at aprox. 93 degrees Fahrenheit all day.
My question is, would exchanging my device for another make any difference?
From what I hear, this issue basically stems from the glass case and the CPU. I really love this phone, and I dread switching to a corny S5 but if all these devices are like this I think I need to switch. Overheating always leads to a short life for electronics.
Thoughts?

They are not all like this. My phone only gets really warm during 4k or if I'm doing a large download over LTE, while doing a titaniuim backup, and gaming at the same time LOL. My phone rarely warms up.

Don't know. What app are you using to check so we can make sure we do an accurate comparison?
Can't say my phone gets hot. It gets warm but nothing major. I've been using mime for about 10 mins just surfing and reading Tapatalk and I'm idling at 45-49deg C.
Have you eliminated background process from being the cause of your high temps? My Z2 only gets warm when playing games, streaming HD video, etc.

Hmm in a 72 degree room, you're worried about 93 degrees at idle? That's 33 degrees Celsius, which is not very high at all.
Unless you're having high CPU usage, there's nothing wrong with your device.
If the device gets warm to the touch faster than others notice, but otherwise acts the same, that's probably a GOOD thing. It means the phone is moving heat away from the SoC more quickly and not acting as an insulator.
Min never get hot only warm on 4k video for 7. 23 min and I am still on 402 room manufacturer 14w20

They using a G3 for 5min then you'll find out what running hot is. The Z2 runs fine temperature wise.

You did not mention what app you used to measure this ?
And i take it you are referring to battery temps here.
Also mention what the ambient temperature is where you live.
Don't want to make a new thread for RMAing so sorry for hijacking this thread OP. My digitiser has been acting crazy recently, specifically as close to the right bezel as possible and nowhere else. The phone has not been subject to water or anything of that sort. Has a screen protector on it and a plastic clear case and has never been dropped. Glove mode is off so it isn't that either. Does anyone here think Sony would fix it under warranty? Locked bootloader/rooted with DRM keys intact so I can always revert to factory too thanks in advance for any replies!

[Q] Phone Heats up Fast!

Anyone experiencing a rapid phone heat specifically on the right side of the phone? My battery life is not that great but can't seem to figure out what's draining my phone, getting about 9 hours with moderate use. I had this issue right from the beginning.
I did notice that I would randomly see the 'gps' signal on top of the notification randomly saying that it's searching for location at least 6 times a day. Is this normal?
Any suggestions is appreciated.
The obvious is turn " Location " OFF and see if heat goes lower and you may see increased battery life as well.
What are your Screen On Times during the 9 hours of use ?
Hey OP, I'm having heat problems too. I have cpu-Z and it is showing my cpu getting to ~55°C after 5 mins of playing a game. And it gets hot doing other things too.

55°c is absolute fine..believe me..HTC goes to 90-100 while gaming and than throttle down
I put my device on a wireless charger (tylt vu) and the device got extremely hot.
Never had issues on my nexus 6

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Essential Phone stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Have not experienced any heating at all
I am experiencing heating issues, I would like to know if it's just me and hopefully I just have a defective device. The battery Temp stays around 49 Celsius
My phone does get a little hot... Altho I was jus using Google duo which uses a lot of resources I believe... Not 100% if that's the case tho, and it cooled rather quickly after I ended the phone call...
I'm not experiencing any heat on the phone at all.

It gets pretty warm when I quick charge and use the phone at the same time but I think that goes for most of the phones out there
It won't get very hot. If the internal temp gets to 44C (112F) it aggressively throttles the big cluster down to about 1.2GHz, which is about half the maximum speed.
At 41C its down to 1.8GHz
At 40C its down to 2.1GHz
So in the span from 39C-43C (102F-109F) The performance drops by 50%.
A 4 degree C temperature span. This is the most aggressive throttling I've seen in any device I've owned.
I noticed this morning during charging the phone is getting too hot to touch around the upper right corner where the 360 camera attaches (which I don't have.)
no heat issues here yet.
Ya I am having some issues when I charge my phone and watch YouTube at the same time

Mine is hot at times as well. How can you tell the temperature of the battery?

Same here I feel it at times of heavy usage and charging
Accu battery says I'm around 107.4 F when I'm charging and using heavy. But that's the hottest it gets. I generally sit it next to a fan whenever I experience this. But it does nothing for internal temp which stays at 107.4 but the outside is cool to touch. And now that I think about it I may be wing about the temp. Not sure if it was 104.7 or 107.4. But that's besides the point.
Yes this phone does get hot at time of heavy gaming/ usage/ etc

I use Ampere, and put a 1x1 widget on the home screen. The widget shows the mA (+/-), battery status (charging/discharging), battery %, and battery temp.
No heat issues, not even playing Pokemon Go.
I ran my phone on battery with Waze on for 2 hours and the display turned off, made a few long phone calls along the way, the phone was very cool IMHO based on other phones I had that I would run Waze on. Only used about 25% of the battery in this 2 hour timeframe with Waze, phone calls, emails coming in and news alerts popping up occasionally. Then connect the phone to a cheap USB-C phone charger that is probably low current and drove another hour and the phone was still cool.
I have not checked temperatures, but from the handling of the phone, it clearly did not feel warm.
So far, so good IMHO.
heating issues with essential phone
having heat issues when I'm using as a hotspot for video. nothing of concern.
Never had any heat issues on 7.1 or 8.1
