If I surf the internet or play some casual games while charging, it heats up to a point where the back feels quite hot. Can anyone tell me what's the consequences if I let it heat up too long and what can I do to keep the phone cool.

Nope man I was just thinking how I see people saying their ones were heating up. Mine never gets over warm even watching utube for two hrs and pluged in the charger at the same time. Sorry I don't really have any suggestions.

I swear there is a thread somewhere for this, but I can't find it. So flame away.
Speaking of flames if I'm ever freezing, and the area I'm in has horrible signal I'll just use my phone as a heater.
The heat from this phone is seriously drying my hand out from charging it and tasking it with games. Plus always having terrible signal. Thanks sprint. I feel like it shouldn't be this warm though? Please inform me if I'm wrong.
Oh temperature is at 101°F just sitting charging.

Its fine and yes, there are several of these threads. The phone is made of metal as opposed to plastic. Youre using one big heatsink.

Don't quote electronics temperatures in F.
101 F is 2-3 degrees above body temperature. That seems reasonable.
I wouldn't expect someone to consider it hot until 50-60C. Or about 125F or above.
You're dealing with metal, metal conducts heat far better than other materials you can make phones out of. Metal will transfer the heat to your hand. I would have thought this would have been obvious when you bought a metal phone, but some people seem surprised.
I am running at -25 mV and I haven't had any battery alerts since.
D3rped out Beastmode! HTC ONE!
The only time I ever had an issue with heat had to do with the rom/kernel I was running. I really thought something was wrong with the phone until I changed roms.

A ROM change actually made a world of difference.

4G (especially marginal) chews battery switching between 4G and 3G.
You can't use the Signal Strength to know what the 4G strength is.
I have since shut 4G off and my Battery is much better. You can shut it off by using non LTE PRL or set to CDMA only.
The non LTE PRL (12126) makes this the best 3G phone ever, for me.
Sprint has been "Rolling Out" 4G for 6 months in eastern MA and just seems to be getting worse.
I'm running Viper with what ever Kernel he supplied with it. My phone never gets hot. Maybe slight warm if running NAV while Charging.
I never play games.
Hey guys I got my HTC one today and oh hell yeah it's nice, but I've noticed it does get hot and I checked cpu z and it went to 40 degrees, is that safe or should I not let it get that hot?

40 is fine. Prolonged periods above 45 could shorten battery life maybe but don't worry, the phone can run hot just fine. The housing is metal. It feels hot sometimes. It's normal.

For the screen to cause fast battery drain like this? Another thing, the device gets immensely hot, very quickly when playing real racing 3. Even on power save. Is that a note 3 thing too?
Edit: would like to add that screen was on 95% of that time

Screen on time like that and high brightness will cause any phone to eat up the battery and get hot...Play games on a tablet ....
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not asking for a magic cure-all, but there's no way in the world I could afford any tablet, not on my payrate. I only got the note 3 by trading a bunch of stuff. I was just under the impression that new devices were supposed to get LESS warm than their older counterparts. This device reminds me of owning a tegra 3 phone..

I understand your dilemma ,.I do all my vids, games, movies ..etc on my tab...to avoid heating up my phone and burning the battery down. Somebody else here might chime in and have a solution for you..I wish I could be of more help.

How long was the screen on for?
It's normal for any device to get hot when playing games, especially when running graphically intensive apps. It has nothing to do with whether the device is old or new.
About 50 minutes out of the 55

That sounds about right then. Screen time can usually last up to 5 hours before the battery dies.
Installing dynamic kat actually 100% fixed heat and really improved screen on batt life. I only use 6-12% an hour. Depending on cpu load

I've been using XT1052 for more then a month now. The display of my phone gets a bit hot on playing games(asphalt 8) or while charging. I know that any phone heats up while playing games but it should be just the backside, right? Is the heating up of the display normal or I am the one with a defective handset?

The Moto X is a very thin package. As such, all the internal components are positioned VERY close to one another. Your battery is a very short distance from the display as well.
It is very unlikely that you have a defective unit based on the symptoms you have mentioned.
So the display heating is normal? Will it have any negative effect on the life of my phone?

Most phones get hot playing high graphic games.
Will it hurt the phone? Doubtfully. But it will get hot....and of course your battery will drop like a rock. All normal.

Mine does on high graphics games, yes. Navigating while charging too. As said....its a small phone. It'll all heat up.
If you're rooted...you can get a kernel that allows it and under volt a little....might help.
Or don't be too concerned. The phone will turn off of it gets too hot. That may indicate its had too much. Lol
Mine gets heated up on charging at times (only when data ON) and also while playing Most Wanted... It's normal...
