When was the last time you restarted the phone?
Let the phone cool down, then restart and then play the game again to see if heats up again..
Please let us know
Hi.
Are there other problems like death grip. Just try it on your phone.
One or One X+?
He using one x.
And yes, heating is normal under heavy load from big 3D game (even your laptop, and pc get hotter then normal during games)

Yes I can confirm there is a Death grip for Wifi, when you hold the phone tightly on top side it lose wifi signal upto to 30%
you can download free app "Network signal info" turn it on and turn on wifi and tightly hold the phone from top side so you can cover from sim try to volume button sude tightly, but generally very less people hold it like that way

all freaking phones have death grip if you cover them

Yup. I don't see what the big deal. Just don't squeeze your phone the same as you do when you choke the chicken and everything will good.
This thread needs to be locked, and this subforum needs serious cleaning and moderation. Too many immature and childish threads, posts and topics.

Not to push you over the edge ( ) but 30%'s a pretty big drop. What it means depends on other things besides the device that's actually being tested like the specific router, channel interference, distance, and signal strength/continuity. So the report of one 30% drop, which could end up being above or below average, does not a crisis make. There are even Wi-Fi complaints on the forums of devices that are known for their stellar Wi-Fi performance. But "death gripping" a N2 drops the signal about 10%. HTC's choice of aluminum and the One's antenna placement and configuration were bold choices. Don't kill the messengers if it turns out that there are consequences. And with so few in the wild it's way too early to jump to any conclusions. Forgive the crappy video quality, it's from a tablet.
Hey I ask question because I am planning to buy HTC One ...
And yes I am using HTC One X+ right now and I am having lot of problem with heat ... And I am a gaming person ... &
I notice with Samsung run little cool than HTC during game palying ...
So I want to know whats a deal with HTC One...
OK one more time for those who has a HTC One ...
Can you please tell me do your phone back got hot during game play...
If yes can you please tell me temperature after playing game for just 15 min to 20 min....
Thank you

30% is not what could be close to death, is it?
I've yet to come across a phone that is not susceptible to RF attenuation when being handled.
The mobile network antennas are always at the bottom of the phone, and are always attenuated to an extent by your own hands when holding the phone. Same goes for the wifi/bt and gps antennas at the top of the phone.
Just how it is, and how it'll always be until such a point we humans stop blocking signals around the frequency ranges currently in use!
The Nexus 4 was my first partially glass constructed phone, and my last. I have had many Samsung and HTC Android phones drop, bounce, skip across the floor, and they worked like a champ still. Typically battery cover pops off, and battery falls out, but put back together, and all good again
Not so with my Nexus 4, and I LOVED this phone, but was in the washroom, set it down for one second, to wash my hands, and I slipped pushing the phone off the top of toilet, and it hit the tile floor, OH SH!T NO, picked up, and yep, huge spider web cracked screen I see phone calls and texts coming in, but can press anything, no reaction.
Luckily I still had my old white color, international HTC One X, running CM10, which I like too, but it's no Nexus 4.
But damn, that glass phone is super fragile. Not the best materials to make a phone of. Out of like 8 Android phones, over last 4 years, this was my first one that actually broken and cracked, being unusable.
I heard such incidents. I have order for a protective case. Hope I dont do the same thing before it comes
I advise all Nexus 4 users to handle this phone with CARE and protect it.

I seen some fall and not break and seen them crack like yours after falling. Just depends. I seen one drop test for the Nexus 4 get dropped 3 times I believe it was before the screen cracked.
Glass or not I don't like scratches let alone cracks. So I put all my devices in cases to protect them. I like devices without cases but I like my devices looking and working perfect more. Even my aluminum devices.

Did you at least have a bumper or screen protector on or was it naked?
Don't all half decent smart phones have glass screens? Im pretty sure nexus 4 isn't alone in that department.
Yeah, the same problem occurred with the iPhone 4 and 4S. They all easily cracked.
Well until the guys from star trek come back from the future to save a few whales and give us that clear aluminum you need to learn not to drop your glass faced phones..... .. ..
This has happened to quite a few people, and has been discussed on XDA a fair bit
Here's a thread here with several people posting pictures
Cracked Nexus 4
Please continue discussion there.

Thats right folks, the out edge of this that lies around the screen is very, very brittle and thin. I have never dropped the phone and it has been in my spigen leather pouch for my old nexus since I bought it, no idea how it got dented, and its only very slight without scratches but it is definitely there.. just a forewarning.

Strange. The Cruzerlite (which are thin TPU cases, cheap in my opinion) drop test stood up to NUMEROUS drops & the device survived without any sign of damage. Not a scratch or dent.
Is you device white or black? My old Nexus 10 had a defect in the black soft touch coating that looked like a dent, but it was more likely an issue in the molding or application process.

Mine is the white version, but the dent is on the top right above the camera, on the black portion, right where the side casing touches the glass. I would have a very hard time photographing this because of where it is on the phone/lighting etc.. ill try when I get home though.

a picture speaks a thousand words
I have about 5 or so nicks on the sides where the glass and plastic edge meet on my naked white N5. I agree that the plastic used is pretty brittle but it's not noticeable unless you really look for it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Get a sufficient case otherwise you can't really complain...
I have one little mark or nick as well where the plastic case meets the glass on that tiny little lip. My 2 year old got a hold of my phone and dropped it on a metal external hard drive case the day I got it and it landed right on 90 degree edge of the case... I went temporarily insane. It is very small but kind of surprised me I guess. I dropped my galaxy S3 many times and never got more than the little hairline scratches you see in glossy plastic. That soft touch coating seems to have some give to it. It was my fault. My parents gave my kids a new ipad mini and I set my phone on top of it. I was in the other room and heard him say "new tablet". I knew at that moment the mistake I had made...
I have one of those really slim cases on the way which would have prevented it. I typically don't use cases and am usually not bothered by the small marks I get on my phones but because some of those ultra thin cases are so slim now days I am going to try one out. Marking up a brand new phone is a little different than one that's a year+ old...
I too, also have a slight dent under the screen bezel part of mine. I have never dropped mine. Noticed it while it was on the table; that the reflection of the curtain was slightly bent at the one area, instead of being completely straight. Looked closely, and sure enough, there was a dent. It's not noticeable during day-to-day use, but you CAN notice it if looking at the reflection it shows.
The chrome bezel on the nexus 4 was susceptible to dents as well.
A few weeks ago the Nexus 5 flew out of my hands and landed on our concrete driveway. I feared the worst, but only a small dent in the upper left corner of the back panel and some scratching is all that happened. Lucky me, but I still hate it. Never had a single blemish on the Nexus 4.

The sides of this phone are fine, besides the fact that they collect dust like crazy. The screen, however, is not. Another guy posting on Android Central also reported having a dent, similar to mine. I actually think this dent came with my device. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago, but disregarded it, as I thought it was the screen protector that came with the phone, but I decided to remove it and check again. It IS a part of the screen

I would say it's normal because of the following reasons:
1) it doesn't effect the usage of the device in any way
2) it's barely noticeable even in the "perfect" lighting conditions
3) many have reported the exact same thing in the early tempered glass threads; the only time it has ever come up or been noticed.
So why exactly is it a problem for you? Corners were cut to make this phone at a cheap price I would think that's pretty clear. It's also not the screen itself but around it.

In my N5 have no dent and any scratch..

There's a difference between "corners being cut" to make the device cheaper and really poor quality control. I understand them using a less camera module and a lower capacity battery, and a screen that washes out when tilted, etc, but the numerous issues with the hardware is ridiculous. Dents in screen, poor GPS connectivity, Wi-Fi problems, dust under screen, loose vibration motor, rattling buttons, and so on.
There is no reason for hardware bugs like this. To lower the price, lesser powerful hardware is used, but the low price is no excuse for poor quality. Like some users said, in terms of hardware, this device is like an alpha, and the only way to receive the "perfect" device is to continuously RMA.
We paid for the device, we should not be getting so many faults and issues.

How is it even a defect? It's not even noticeable. No one would consider it a hardware bug except apparently you. Please explain how this effects the usage of your device in any way.
Poor quality control is EXACTLY how corners are cut. Manufacturing anything has margin of errors and the less margin of error you're willing to release the more phones are "thrown away" and the more money a released device will cost. I'd explain more but I'm sure Wikipedia or a Google search can better explain the finer points of manufacturing and quality control then I can.
You read the specs of the phone and it has everything a $700 phone has but it costs $400. How did you think that was accomplished?

There is a lot of discussion about that price... but Google routinely undercuts the competition when it comes to the nexus line (looking at you, 7)
Looking at the specs of the 5, then looking at comparable phones out ing the market, the only conclusion I can come to is that Google is letting these things go at either zero margin, or (my thought) at a fairly beefy loss.... kicking back cash to LG to cover their losses.
All you need to do is look at the other phones available at the same full retail price... does the 5 seem anywhere close to those? Nope, it blows them all out of the water... laughable in most cases. Now, you can cut corners to lower prices, but you can't cut THAT much.

The actual cost break down might never be known. One thing is for sure though, LG is not willing to take any loss and whatever Google may have paid them "extra" they will still try and build the phone as cheap as they possibly can.
LG does not consider the Nexus as their flagship phone and will never treat it as such. It's a phone they were contracted to build and they will cut every corner they can. It's just business.
So, due to a case I have, I've noticed something that disturbs me slightly.
If you place your fingers on the top and bottom plastic pieces on the right, you loose about 10 dB (give or take) of cell signal. I noticed this on my phone and asked a couple of employees with S6/edge phones at Best Buy. All 3 of the phones exhibited this behavior so I've determined its an issue with the design (similar to 'anyennagate' for the iPhone 4).
The case was a TPU case with a metal bumper, the bumper cause about 10dB lose so I did some troubleshooting and that is what I found.
Anyone else notice this?

I tried it, not sure if its true. Out of several tries it did go down may e two or three but idk where I stand on that yet.
I will try this with all the demo units at my job and see if I can replicate it.
Two or three is good, that is within normal deviation for just doing there (think boots and such lol)

Yeah, those are the antenna strips. What did you expect would happen if you cover them up? Same thing will happen with the left side strips for wifi and bluetooth.

They are ONE way the RF gets to/from the antenna (the reason the whole back is not metal) plus Samsung claimed it used tech to prevent that.
Also I was not complaining so much as stating it did this. In addition it occurs with cases that use a metal bumper (even with cutouts for the RF or with a TPU spacer. It was a design decision by Samsung, the same one android fans called apple stupid for a few years ago. Go figure, now some of us are defending it.
does anybody have the s6 edge Luphie case? and willing to do a review on it
would like to know how it is
and if it does anything to signal or gps or anything

I have the Luphie aluminum bumper with glass back. It looks and feels amazing but there is some signal loss. Sometimes in my house it will drop to 3g when I normally get about 2 bars of 4g.

I bought the White/Gold version and got it today. I have about 10 cases and I would say this is the best looking one. My signal does seem to decrease but my LTE speeds are the same with or without it. GPS also connects in seconds and the heart sensor works even with the glass. The only thing I see wrong with it is that there's no cut out for the IR sensor so if you use the phone as your remote it won't work with the case on. I took some pics but not the best quality as I only had my tablet at my disposal.

thanks for the info cant wait,will post review on my youtube when i get it
i got the silver and black
sucks no ir blaster cutout
I take back what i said about minimal signal loss. I took it to work today with the case on and could not get 4G signal at all. I normally get 2-3 bars of 4G but it would never switch over from 3G. I wished there wasn't such a loss in cell signal cause this case is beautiful but I'm going to have to return it.
Anybody know where I can find a good plastic bumper? There are a plethora of aluminum bumpers but I can't even find a cheap plastic one.
Lol yea anything that has a metal bumper degrades the signal. I also bought this case. With it on, I would no longer get LTE indoors, it would drop to 4g. Also, it decreases my signal by 2-3 bars, no matter where I am.
Furthermore, It has bad tolerances. I had to put pieces of paper to fill up some of the gaps and along the buttons, otherwise it would rattle. It does look decent, except for the badly written text on the back. It's unnecessary and ruins the minimalistic look.
I would skip this.

i havent took mine out he house yet because i do construction and during the week i use a more rugged case but on weekends like now ill take it out and test it
and hey does the back of your case lock? sometimes mine doesnt i have to like force it a certain way
Luphie bumper case mostly are aluminum frame,impressive on their design and workmanship, if you're more attend to metallic and there is no more words on them if you don't care the signal loss,for luphie are focus on frame and which will reduce signal strength more or less as we know,I tried 2pcs one for S4 and one for S6 Edge,both of the same situation so comes a conclusion like this for reference.
More details you may check their online store:

Its pretty good, looks cool but I bought a black one and U can tell the difference between the black glass on the back and the black sapphire on the res of the phone.
I'm thinking about a mate black skin to make the phone match the case.
Also the gold bumper is not bright gold, more like mate gold, but it really suits the phone. Plus it comes in a very nice box ahahah
Good luck.
