My Nexus 7 gets hot!!! Playing none intense games, searching the web, charging and watching a YouTube video. Could this be hurting the device??? It's 86 degrees here where I'm from and 75 in my house. I now charge via Mac because the charger gets so hot!!! Now, I love my Nexus 7 and thank GOD my only issue is a skeptical one. So, I have a iPad 1 2 and 3 the iPad 3 gets kinda hot during intense hourly gameplay and that's it, this seams to not be able to handle the smallest task without getting hot, could it be the plastic back or maybe its okay and I'm just a little uptight about my gadgets???

Making the processor work hard generates heat! This is normal, the longer you do it the hotter it will get. Unlike laptops there is no cooling fan.
Don't worry the processor can still run safely upto temperatures where you couldn't be holding it but that's not likely to happen (unless you're hyper sensitive)
We avg 80°F indoors here. Yesterday was a warm 111°F outside...
Devices can get hot, not normally be big deal. My Rezound gets up around 115°F on a regular basis.

Your probably a little uptight with your toys. When electronics do work that's what happens.
Just like computers if your device is getting to hot it should just shut off

Okay thanks for the response. Now I feel a lot better, it's not a real issue just a could be...thanks!

If you're also charging and using the tablet at the same time, it'll also become really hot as well. Source: My Galaxy Nexus, EVO 3D, SGS2 all did the same thing.

Yeah, thanks, but I'm not doing that. Intact, I never do that and it still gets hot with normal use.

my nexus 7 was acting weird and was also getting really hot, my unit was lagging like crazy too, so i returned my unit and now am trying to find 16gb unit somewhere around here.
I have noticed that my replacement Nexus (with no screen lift) doesn't seem to get as hot as my first.
from case?
How many of you that think your N7 is running too hot.....have a case of some sort on it?
Some of the cases look like they would trap heat. I am a little surprised not to see some sort of case like a folio type that has breathing cut out sections to help dissipate heat when using for gaming and other heat producing use types.

But I thought that the rubber back would somewhat take a cases place. Anyway, I would never put a case on this.

I've been using mine for the last hour plus, and I wouldn't even say that it is warm, let alone hot.
Only intense gaming would make it warmer where as for regular use it would run fine. Even when it gets warm it doesn't get warm up to worrying degrees / level.

The back left of mine gets pretty warm. Worryingly so. Just watching YouTube does it.
Don't these things have heat sensors built in that will make the device handle itself if it gets too hot? Usually computer components can get pretty dang hot before having problems, too.
I won't use a case... but if it comes down to it, I might modify one that's open around the area that gets warm.
And using ANYTHING other than the Nexus 7 charger will take forever. You're lucky to get .5amp out of a Mac socket whereas the factory charger is 2amp.
Or maybe these things were built for the winter and not the summer. It does not feel good in the hand because the heat from normal task makes my hands sweat. Maybe it's because it's so slim and the chip inside is so powerful? Still, I don't like it.

Heat is a subjective thing... it was 94° here in western NY yesterday and I was showing off the Tegra 3 by playing Dark Meadow: The Pact. The back was a little warm, but nothing I would consider uncomfortable.

No dude! This baby gets uncomfortably hot just doing normal task. I remember when the iPad 3 got bad press for playing highly intensive games and getting a little hot, my Nexus 7 gets hot during normal task.

I'm starting to think it's because of the plastic back cover. See, if it was metal then the aluminum would play as a heat sink, but for 200$ I guess this is what you get?

My phone gets pretty hot when gaming. Does this happen to anyone else?
Your phone has a quad core processor and brilliant screen inside of an all metal body. Of course its going to get hot. Other phones(my old gs3 for example ) get just as hot. You just don't notice it due to the plastic body.

Metal is a better conductor of heat than most other phones (various types of glass and plastics). It will feel warmer, even at the same temperature.
The plus side of it feeling warmer is that, ironically, the internals should be cooler, all things equal.
Well does your pc get hot while gaming ? Does the Xbox or ps3 yup so safe to assume heavy gpu tasked games will make it hot . Try to not be charging at the same time . Remember no removal of the battery so when it gets to hot we have little recourse to cool the AC works though lol
HTC-DNA,HTC-ONE,s3x2,s4-i9500
I've never had a metal phone before. Didn't even occur to me the frame would be the heatsink as well. I can breathe easier now thanks

Mine gets hot as **** too. I'm on viper and battery is non existent.

Not hot at all. Mad battery life. OC and UV!
It does feel hotter but I bet it has to do with the aluminum dissipating the heat better. Looking at temps when it feels real warm its nothing to be concerned about, temp wise the internals are fine.
So the temps I see are normal?
I haven't noticed my ONE getting warmer than my G-Nexus really. How do you display the phone's internal temperature?
I'm using gsam but I think that's just giving me the battery temp.
GSam is the closest you'll get - Snapdragons don't have thermal sensors.

From what I've read, that's consistent with what others are reporting. That's the difference between plastic and aluminum.
This is really my first full day with the phone so still getting used to it.

Plastic tends to cool off faster, but doesn't help cooling the device itself.
Aluminum tends to help with the cooling by spreading the heat and remains warmer for a longer period.
I've had this thing last me on avg. a whole work day and still have over 50%.
I'm on an LTE area too.
For the person with bad battery life, something is keeping your phone awake. Check the processes.

I'm betting you all have experienced this, but I find it ridiculous. If I play a game (not a specifically cpu-intensive game) for say 20 minutes to half an hour, then my phone is so hot that I find it uncomfortable to hold. It does not have specifically warm insides, which must then sound like the metal is doing what it should and lead the heat elsewhere but it's uncomfortable.
If I play for approx. half an hour, it's already way past warm. Warm would feel cold in comparison to how hot it can be. Are everyone experiencing this or is it possible I have gotten a lemon?
It's normal. It has an aluminum back. You're gonna feel some heat.

Aluminum transfers heat differently than plastic. It's gonna get hotter than plastic will. It's just how the metal is.

You need to tell us what temps your phone is hitting. We can't really help you out without that. Maybe your phone is getting hotter than a normal One, or maybe your hands are more sensitive to heat than the average user. Can't know without temps.
For example, my phone maxes out at 42/43 degrees battery temp. It's definitely warm, but not uncomfortalble to hold. Other users have said their phone temp is around this as well when playing intensive games.
If your phone gets much hotter than this, I would return it. If it doesn't, and your hands are more sensitive than ours, I would buy a case/different case and try to live with it.

The phone definitely transfers heat very well, so it seems much hotter than other phones. I don't like it either. I was in Shanghai on the weekend and this phone was making my hands sweat. I think the next big improvements we'll see with phones will be temperature and battery life. It must... These phones are becoming heaters.
Since your phone's temperature is normal, I can only suggest three things. Get a different case, root and try the elemental kernel, or undervolt your processor. Not much beyond that.

I've got two Galaxy S4's and a HTC One they all get very hot after 20 mins seems the S600 has pour thermal profile when it hits the top of it's clock speed. I would say the HTC is just a little bit hotter than the S4 most likely due to the Aluminium. Try a Flexishield case works for me to make it a bit more comfortable.

I don't know exactly how to describe this. But my Xperia Z1 seems slightly bent at one side. The power button side. Look at the pic. Lying on a flat surface. Compare the power button side and the usb side. In honesty, my phone has been recently exposed to a lotta heat. Abuja, Nigeria is really hot. The phone got so hot that day it actually started damaging the carrying pouch. Should I be worried?

but isn't that more like a hump on the battery part?
seems logical if it is a hump... batteries are never good with high heat exposure
well try putting i on a flat table and get a shot from the sides while the phone is lying on the back and front
Check this
and yes you should be worried ... more so for your health!
Did you keep it in your back pocket?
I came across two images of Xperia Z1 Bent on Sony Mobile forum. It seems very sad that users are saying that they didn't put it back pocket and not at all sat on it.
so I put up a post here to make users aware of this http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/11/17/xperia-z1-screen-and-body-bent-appears/ and @dante2086 if I have your permission can I include your pic in above post of mine ?
@zegun Yeah, sorry about that. I actually uploaded four files using the app, didn't know that three failed. But I've uploaded the others.

Yeah, but I think I've adapted to it. As for the phone, the problem is Sony mobile, has poor, if not nearly non-existent representation in Nigeria. Most Sony phones are sold via third party representatives in Nigeria, and I don't think too much of them. If it does get worse though, I might be forced to send it in. As u can see from the pics it's not too severe. And I kept the phone in water for ten minutes today just to verify if it was still waterproof, apparently it still is.
incredible pictures.....

Aluminium!
A metal frame!
change its shape in normal earth temperature !!!
u r kiddin!
even water needs more than 80-90C to change its shape!
but for example aluminium body of XZ1 change because of maybe 60C !! (60C for warmest city on earth!)

and some users talked about this problem without any reason !!!
no caused phenomena are for quantum world.
in our normal world there s always reason for everything.
and reason of something like this is users misbehaving...

They sat on it or applied some other force to it. The laws of physics disagree with "it just bent itself." As for heat, the melting point of aluminum is 660 celcius... that's over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. And that's almost how hot it would have to get to start bending "by itself."
Smartass all fo you....
The aluminum frame is fabricated it such a way that IT CAN ACTUALLY BEND ITSELF! If the stress tensor in the alimonum block was highly distorted before the chipping process THE FRAM WILL BENT ITSELF AFTER A WHULE to relive inner materials pressure...
This can defenetly be cause by wrong fabricatimg procedures....

very disconcerting to say the least.

Could be that the battery is swollen due to overcharging, or the aluminium could have bent, melting point doesn't mean that it can be made into a durable metal at lower heat, but i find that unlikely, i'm putting my money on the battery swelling.

Could still be m8, i've seen batteries swell until they literally broke the devices, i have a device for transferring data from any mobile device to any other mobile device, called celibrite, I like i div had it charging all the time and the battery ended up like a massive blue bag (swollen) it broke the front sim slot and pushed the screws out through their threads, nothing was stopping it, in terms of battery life i have to say when it was disconnected i didn't noticed a drop in battery life either, although it was never unplugged for very long, as for my phone I have it on a timer at night so it never gets more than an hour of overcharge.

I see. Well the bending doesn't seem to be getting worse, so if it's a battery swelling, its safe to say it's stopped right?
