Is anybody nexus 7 overheating? It seems that the back of my tablet seems to be getting hot out of nowhere and i do not know why.
Are you doing any intense gaming? Could be that causing the N7 to heat up. My One X does the same, but not enough to be uncomfortable. Not got my N7 yet.
Mine gets very warm while charging, and slightly warm when using it. Nothing major though.

Mine gets pretty hot along the left edge of the screen. My brightness is stuck on max though so I think it's the LEDs.

Mine gets...well warm but that's playing final fantasy 3 or dead trigger for a while... nothing to really worry about though . If its getting hot out of no where u might have an app running like crazy in the background

hello...?
My phone got so hot it called me maybe.
It gets warm after gaming for 30 minutes - 2 hours, haven't tried it with full brightness yet though.
Should I try to return the tablet?

More than likely there is nothing wrong, unless it's so hot that it's uncomfortable to hold.
Edit: Never mind. I see you starting multiple threads with different problems. Just return it.
Mine gets warm at the bottom back portion when watching hd videos w/o hardware acceleration (mkv to get sound). The battery temperature remains low though. It must be tegra3 in that spot getting warm, which is normal.

I am having a bunch of weird lag too, something unlike regular nexus 7's. I think I am gonna return it and get a 16 GB for now.

It's a computer. It has a thing called a processor and batteries. Those things get hot. heat is not the same as overheating. If your tablet gets slightly warm to the touch, maybe even very warm, chances are its fine. If it gets so hot that your tablet burns you to the touch, catches on fire, etc, thats when you have a problem.

Install a battery widget, it will show you the temperature. Mine normally is about 27 C. Working/Gaming 30C-33C Charging around 38 C
I think anything under 40 is safe.

Has anyone else with the new HTC One noticed this? I was testing it watching youtube videos and playing games such as Temple Run or Subway Surfer. Using Battery HD's template reference, I found my phone reached as high as 117°... It was getting pretty hot, and uncomfortable to touch.
Do I just have a bad unit or have you also experienced this?

I had two from Sprint and they both got hot. Just thought it was the typical CDMA searching for towers crap. I returned mine and am waiting for Tmobile to ship me two new One's.
I have an ATT HTC One and mine gets hot too..

Well your playing games lol
The whole backface is aluminum, and aluminum conducts heat nearly as well as copper. That's why most CPU heatsinks are made from aluminum (cost being the other factor).
I wonder if the phone isn't running hotter than any other phone, but it's able to conduct the heat away from the board faster/more efficiently than others who use plastic construction.
Interesting side-effect if true.
Yes, it gets really hot at times

When running high intensity apps and games, it does run quite warm, nothing too uncomfortable though.
Well it just reached 120 degrees today. Should I exchange it or just suck it up?

+1 to it running hot. guess im goign to have to use a case to buffer the heat.. too bad cause it looks so sexy nakid.
I play Dungeon Defenders which is a pretty intensive 3D tower defence on highest graphics and all I have gotten is warm/hot but nothing uncomfortable.
High end phones get hot!
All this talk about metal conducting heat is just that, talk. Of course it may not help, but my S2 got just as hot as this phone and people complained about it back then too.
Cpus get hot, hotter when pushed harder, which is why computers have fans, consoles have fans etc.
Try not to charge your phone whilst playing graphically intensive games, streaming etc. if it worries/bothers you

I can +1 with mine getting hot too, but this only happens when I'm tethering my phone for the 4G internet. I haven't had it heat up that much any other time. I think it was a part of the design, trying to use the metal as a heat sink. But then again, here in Southern California, it's gotten pretty hot outside so that could have an effect on the battery.
I've had strange experiences with the phone running hot. I will play certain games that make the phone run hot and drain more battery - the one that I noticed was punch quest.
Strangely this runs the phone hotter and had higher drain than say, nova 3.
I can't explain it other than maybe more cores running? I suppose it could be possible, just not sure how likely. I'm pretty sure I've noticed this variance between other games too.

Running elemental kernel with thermal cool option and slight under clock. No heat issues anymore at all. Runs nice and cold.

Hi, so i got my one yesterday and i am pretty impressed but there is something i noticed and i want to ask, if someone else has noticed it. I played the game real racing 3 for like 10 minutes and it worked flawlessly. but after this 10 minutes it suddenly started to lag. My handset was really really hot at this moment... i also noticed that in 3d mark in the physics test. I had like 45 fps and then they dropped to like 15 after a short period. So is my device damaged or something or is this normal? I have not rooted it or anything, so it has still the stock rom and stock kernel.

Well first thing I would do is backup all your data. Wouldnt be nice to loose all of that when trying to fix your device. My guess is that your GPU Chip on the SoC is a weakling. I had the same problem on my One X. It had super fast CPU but an under average GPU. To be sure you need to factory reset your device that will remove everything off your one. After you need to install a benchmark app like the same one before so you can see if you have any improvement. I also want you to install Antutu so I can compair it to my results.

If your phone is running smoothly and you're fine with the experience, then stop worrying about benchmarks. They're useless.

Around 22000 on antutu is normal. Anywhere around the 21k to 25k range is for the HTC One. Mine does 23881-ish on antutu but not every device is the same.
My guess is that the overheating issue is causing the lower FPS. If your in a very hot State your device would run warmer. Something silly like this can cause any device not run at optimal speeds.
Using the HTC one for gaming mostly could make it run at hotter temps so a thing called thermal throttling comes in.
The Snapdragon S600 will lower the CPU and GPU clocks if your device is running too hot. Sadly its hard to avoid it but it stops the One from breaking and cooking your hands.
The next step is to see if your HTC one is running too hot.

I am getting overheating issue
I have the same issue. After using phone around 10 minutes, aluminium body becomes hot. I don't play games but general browsing, playing music etc. I purchased from Walmart and thought it is just specific to my device only. But just found that it is general issue to everyone. I have already asked Walmart to replace the device. But I guess I should not make a hope that replacement device will not have heat issue.
Not really overheating just a small side effect if the all aluminum build, metal is more prone to temp.

Was fine. now overheating.
My phone was working fine for the past week, but just went crazy hot yesterday, and seems to be getting warm easily now. It got hot playing Ingress, but I had been playing ingress for hours at a time without the issue, so I'm confused. I can't think that I did anything remarkable to my phone in that time, but it's certainly running hot. The only thing that might impact it is the use of the app Lux to dim the screen better. I haven't had a problem with that on my previous phone, and I'm not sure when I installed it vs. when I started having overheating issues.
Today, I also got the superuser request for "resetnotify" which may be called by HTC internal code. Not sure if that's relevant, but there it is.
Overheats with battery drain
My One overheats occasionally. I don't have to be doing anything and I have to reboot for it to cool down. I think it's done it 3 times now, and I think all these times are since I rooted and flashed the 1.29 international ROM. nothing out of the ordinary installed.
I will try and get some information next time it does it too try and see what is going on....
Install teamseven kernel and undervolt by 50 mv, my phone doesnt heat up any more. Gets a little warm while playing games or browsing which is normal

Does the htc one still get extremely hot? I would like to know because I'm stuck on 4.1.2 in the USA and am patiently waiting for 4.3 and I'm curious if that was fixed in 4.2.2

So far I didn't see the phone get hot. It can get a bit warm but nothing else. All stock 4.2.2
Thank u, warm doesn't sound bad so my only flaw with this phone will be fixed when I get my ota!

One reply can't tell you anything. It depends heavily on how it's used and what's installed.
Keep in mind this phone has a metal case so heat from inside is conducted out much more easily, so it feels hotter than a phone with a plastic shell. This is actually a good thing since it means the phone can cool itself more easily.
Hot whenever i play my games > 30min Or Youtube > 30min
Any other usage doesnt seem to make it hot.
As i am from singapore, the surrounding environment alone makes it feels warmer already
It only gets too hot (but not extremely hot) if it's on a charger and I'm playing graphics intensive games or watching YouTube for half an hour. But that's normal. Any electronic device produces heat. And without an effective cooler it is 100% impossible for any device not to get hot when "under heavy load".
TLDR: it gets hot when pushed but not out of the ordinary.

heat is reduced in 4.2, they changed the thermal configurations. but i have no idea where you live. if youre in singapore, then theres no way itll stay cold. if you live in greenland then itll never get hot.
From what i read, the metal casing acts as the heatsink for the CPU, so really all that heat you can feel is whats being taken away from the inside which is pretty much a good thing

Let me put it another way: the heat is absolutely not a problem.
Don't know how it was on 4.1.2 since i got mine a little later when 4.2.2 was already available and i downloaded it in the first 5 minutes.

dont worry, wont heat up as bad as the older S4 Kraits
my old Xperia V heats up worse than my current Z1 lol
maybe it is the glass. nexus 5 is way cooler in similar usage... but heat is good in winter
All the flagships I bought since late 2011 had heating issues. Granted Z1 is a little worse but don't worry, iPad 3 gets hotter than this yet it works fine! but if you still worry: Phones warn you when they reach their temperature limit so you will be fine until you get that message! and if you did just clean the task manager and leave the phone for a while

Haha what do you have against the Note 3? Ive read everywhere people arent that fond of it. Maybe it was because all those comments on it I read in this subforum haha. Do you notice a type of rattling sound in your Z1 when you tap it on different parts? not alot but minimal, like the body isnt completely unified?

The rattle is because of the camera lens. The lens needs a little room to jiggle in order to focus on target. All the phones are like this, including premium built devices like iPhone 4/4S/5/5S, HTC One/X/X+ AND LUMIA 1020 all of which I had or worked with, that God awful note 3 is no exception either!

Who would want low quality build, bad display etc when you can get premium phones like Z1, Z Ultra !
Seriously, you buy a new phone and the plastic frame looks like one of those parts you scissor out to build cars, boats, planes with glue. There's chips and black spots on the cheap plastic frame from the start.
Not to mention how friggin HOT samsung phones get. I'm glad I got some sense into me even if it took a all these years to switch, I was scared but damn, I'm glad I did it.
On another note, I hope Sonys phones in the future never have glossy plastic, that's really disgusting.

Word bro. My S3 got to 45 degrees from having chrome and g+ open. Its one of the main reasons i switched. (and also the less than premium feel and look.) Shure the Z1 is a bit heavier than most phones, but i guess being the best looking android phones comes at the cost of weight.

No idea what the temp threshold is but coming from a HTC One, I can tell you that it feels no where near as hot as that phone did, that was a hot phone, great, but hot.
The Z1 does reboot on it's own now and again, which is weird, not everyone has it but i have and so have quite a few people who i know.

Something isn't right. I've yet to feel mine getting hot. HTCs on the other hand.
So far mine seems fine. I have a S6 also with me that's usually much warmer
Maybe you have some app in the background keeping the phone constantly awake? The phone definitely shouldn't be any warmer than other phones. Mine isn't running any warmer than earlier phones I've had.
