Hey guys,
I got my N4 8G last week on Friday and the first what I saw when the CPU gets a little bit warmer (during Benchmarks or heavy use)
I can see a ugly Yellow spot on the Screen near where the CPU sits, as seen on ifixit.

Did any of you guys have the same issue or should I replace the phone as soon as they are available again?

I don't get this trend with warm CPUs. My Galaxy Nexus used to get really hot sometimes but it never had any impact on screen quality, didn't make yellow spots or anything else.
Yesterday, I was charging the N4, while streaming and HD movie at full screen brightness. Nothing. Wasn't warm. Neither was it warm when I ran three benchmarks after one another.
Try turning on FORCE GPU RENDERING in Developer Options.

Either you are trolling or are completely oblivious to temperature changes. This phone gets really hot, because LG doesn't know crap about proper thermal design. Google was stupid not to choose Sony for this Nexus, but I'm assuming they're waiting for Sony to use Quad Cores. I'm confident that the next Nexus phone will be a Sony. I can't wait.

you must have another phone as i have. My N4 doesn't get warm, not with benchmarks, movies or while loading.
My n4 gets warm, but not hot, and i dont see any changes in screen

thats strange, mine get pretty hot! Mostly while loading or benchmarks but also just on Chrome or normal use
Maybe I realy need to replace it by Google.

No, they all do the exact same thing. Like I said, anyone who claims that theirs doesn't get warm is either a) completely oblivious to heat, b) is a serious Google/LG fanboy, or c) is trolling for the sake of trolling.

Hot/Warm or whatever = OK usual and maybe custom Kernels with UV will fix
but my Yellow screen spot is not OK I think so far..

I agree. I would let Google know immediately, and demand that they let me keep the phone while they get me a new one.

Mine does get warm, but not hot, and I don't have any yellow display or throttling issues...but now, just because you said it, its sweating too!
Aaaah....this i-know-everything kids...

Yeah, no. Not trolling. Mine just doesn't get hot. Turning on Force GPU Rendering solved that same issue when I was having it with the Gnex. Force GPU takes load of the CPU, so it doesn't get hot.
I don't know what else to tell you, it's just doesn't get warm/hot for me.

Dude, why don't you just chill. And while you're chilling, pick up a new phone while you're at it since your's is getting hot.
And "completely oblivious to heat"? Right now, I can tell you that it's 10C outside in Berlin and it's a big difference to when it was 35C. Seems to me like you're just making a big deal out of a little heating. It's a quad core processor, what do you expect?

The Phone gets hot because the CPU burns allot of energy is has bothing to do with the phone design.
The main problem is that google totally f****d up CPU power management, why it the CPU locked at 1Ghz when the screen is on, why does it scale to 1.5 GHz when you touch the screen?? which results in swyping and typing killing the battery.

thats another point, I think the Kernel is not in a perfect state for now but updates will come and custom Kernels will come

I'm pretty sure that's because of Project Butter. I'd take a little heat for some better performance/visuals any day.
Not sure what the issue is here. My GDS got hot when gaming, charging, etc asvdoes my nexus 7, my laptop, my pic and every other device I have ever owned.
The issue though is the great really causing some type of an issue with the glue? I would guess they would know but then again who knows..

Are you serious? Unless you are an android Dev or someone in the know with these services then I think you are just making some type of an uneducated assumption. Really, no offense intended.

Haven't done the yellow spot test yet. So can't tell.
The way I do the test: Install StabilityTest, set screen brightness to 100%, run CPU+GPU Test, wrap phone in a blanket and try get the temperature to 40C or above, then check with a white background.

Yes. It is normal
My phone gets a lot hot after playing nfsmw for an hour or so continously.
Yup its normal... not to the point when the phone displays a temperature warning and/or Shuts Down or Reboots....
If you are concerned then there are some apps in Google Play to check your phone's temp....

sorry, I missed to mention, my phone gets heated up even when downloading huge files and browsing net for long hours !
BTW, I really liked your example
It is normal. This device has a temperature control mechanism. So it warns you.
Make sure that you allow it to cool if the warning appears!
I do not respond to tech support via PM
HEllo Im new here ,, this is a stupid question but I just wanna ask the optimal temp of smartphone because my s advance temp looks kinda hot specially the upper part of the phone ranging from 37 to 41 degrees celcious when opening aps and games,, this is definitely hotter than the first time i bought it,,
Its normal I think..
I mean its normal and OK until the phone actually stops responding and/or behaves abnormally.... And you will get a message/notification that it is overheated and will automatically turn off (or reboot) - I'm just guessing because I never saw it on my phone but I once saw it "partially" on my friend's S3 once...
One more thing... The phone usually heats up a bit while its charging.... The same thing applies when you are playing games or browsing the internet for a long time...

I google a little and i found out that overheating is one of the sign of battery problem..
Im a heavy user like Im using it almost everyday(playing games etc.) so Im suspecting it might be a hardware problem or maybe BAttery problem, and I hope it just a battery probem but my phone is just 7 months old, and phone battery should last a year or two, but considering my heavy use it might be.,, so Im gonna try to replace my battery Thank you anyway for your reply and good luck

Hmm.. its upto you, whether you want to change your battery or not... and yes too high temperature will reduce its overall "life".. but I still think both your phone and your current battery is ok because smartphones (usually the ones with more than one CPU) usually heat up a bit when it is used for a long time

YEs it maybe still on good condition, but in a 1 hour palytime at the temp. of 41 °C is very uncomfortable to me. this is like holding a child with a super high grade fever with your hands,, and it applys to all games i played.,
By the way may I ask what is your phone highest temp. during playing games??

Hi Guys,
I have been using Xperia SP for the past 3 weeks. But since last week, i found that that mobile started getting heated up if i play some games for 5 mins. Also if i switch on camera and keep it running for 5 mins, mobile started heating up. Heat in the sense i can feel the warmth when i hold my phone. Is this normal? Or anything wrong with my handset? Please help me out guys. I have put the flip cover which Sony has given as free product along with the purchase of this mobile. Any kind of reply is very much appreciated. I am really worried cos of this issue in my mobile.

Thanks for the quick reply bro.. I have Updated with the latest firmware dude. Still my mobile is getting heated up. I have seen many reviews and videos before buying this mobile. But none of the reviews specified about this heating thing. If mobile started heating just for 5 mins of gaming, i am wondering how guys are playing high end games and completing it.

Its pretty much something you get used to after a while.Also this will help you getting through the harsh winter !!! The highest temperature that i got was 48 degrees C.Pretty hot i know but you have a powerfull processor and graphics that drain the battery thus increasing its temp.
Use CPU Z https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuid.cpu_z to monitor your battery temperature if you like.
So you mean to say this is not actually a big problem to worry about? Or do I need to take my mobile to the service centre for a quick check? Please suggest me.
Can't make any guarantees but it's generally not a problem unless it's getting hot when you're doing nothing. If the device cools to between 20 and 25 degrees once you've stopped activity there's nothing wrong.

ditto,
havent seen a single phone that doesn't get Hot when playing games, especially ones which use the GPU/CPU a lot
on the whole it stays pretty cool under normal use compared to other phones.

Well my Nexus 6 has started getting really hot even with moderate usage. Its not like it burns my hand but it gets uncomfortable at times and it worries me.
If I'm just browsing on chrome, checking out Facebook, or playing a simple game like Crossy Roads, the phone starts getting really warm and after a while its really hot. Even when on WiFi it becomes hot. I have to close all the apps and leave it for a while so that it cools down. I don't have a lot of apps open all the time and I have a lot of memory remaining.
I can't really figure out what's the problem, any suggestions?
Thanks.

+1 Facebook application consumes extreme amounts of battery and system resources. That would be my first suggestion as well. Uninstall Facebook and see if you notice an improvement.
It would be easier to suggest something if you let us know if you are stock or have been playing with roms/ kernels and their settings.... I have seen other phones get hot with too aggressive kernel settings.....
first off, what cpu temperature ate you talking about? secondly, feel does not give you am accurate temperature reading, all its does is show you if something is hotter, or cooler, than your hand. thirdly, your phone can get up to 99C in temp. at 100C, the boiling point of water, your phone would automatically shut down to cool off. now while using your phone, especially when using the cpu hard, it will get hot. but that is normal. you own a quad core phone with a 2.65ghz cpu. do you really expwct it to stay cold?
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll try uninstalling Facebook and getting back to you. I've already uninstalled Facebook Messenger.
My CPU temperature is around 41 degrees Celsius and when it gets warm to the point that its uncomfortable is around 58-60 degrees Celsius.
In know it has a really powerful cpu but I don't always want to be holding a device that is warm to the point that it becomes uncomfortable.
Also I haven't even attempted rooting or changing the kernels so its all stock.

58-60C is VERY normal, when using the phone. so maybe a powerful phone isnt right for you.
But is it normal to feel warm? Even though its powerful shouldn't it stay cool? Is this happening to every Nexus 6 user? Sorry for the influx of questions

again, feel osnt an accurate way to kudge temperature. if your hand is cooler, the phone will feel more hot. your phones temp also is dependent on the air temp around you. as if its warmer outside, then the phone will get warmer. but yea, every nexus can and will get that warm. and at times, will get even warmer! try plugging in to a charger and streaming a movie. in this situation, ive seen my phone hit 74C. but thats normal as well. unlike deaktop computers, our phones dont have fans blowing to keep the cpu cool. we rely on an inactive way to keep our phones cooler, so its normal for the more powerfully phones to get warm, and even hot.
Try this.
I was having overheating issues. When gaming, charging, or just about anything other than the phone at an idle. I cleared the cache in recovery. That's it. I did not uninstall anything or modify anything in any way. And now I do not have those issues. Is that what fixed it? I do not know. Will it work for anyone else? I do not know that either. But, I'm pretty sure that if you can clear the cache with your stock recovery, it won't hurt anything. Maybe you will get lucky and it works. Bonus benefit, battery life improved for me as well. Maybe 20% better. I hope it helps you as much as it did for me.
Good Luck.

lol! im not saying youre lying! seriously. im just saying that the behavior that you experienced is odd, considering thermal throttle being there. i actively disable thermal throttle every single time i boot up. and i try, really try, but have not been able to reach 100C on my n6. and i run my cpu at 3032mhz high and low cpu speed. now my nexus 5 reaches shutdown very easy, it takes seconds to get it there. my n6, no matter how hard i push, purposefully, i can not get it to reach 100C. now your reboot might have been something completely different, and you not reaching thermal shutdown. but i doubt you would have known that, because you would need a live cpu temp in your status bar to see if you hit thermal shutdown. and i doubt you have a cpu temp showing in your status bar. i do
If your phone is 55+C while you are not using it very intensely there's a problem.
I listen to music, watch videos, play some games like clash of clans and I never break 50 Celsius.

youre probably looking at the battery temp. battery temp is different. if your battery hits 60C, youll automatically shut down. everyone i know with a nexus 6 sees over 50C cpu temp rather often. well, depending how hard you are using the cpu, and the temp around you.

Although I am sure that what I felt was nothing near the boiling point of water, it was enough to make the phone restart.It got hot under the same circumstances with 5.0. Just not that hot. But after the 5.1 update it started getting much hotter. At the time I wouldn't put it on a charger at night because of the crazy heat. After the cache clearing things have been much better. It doesn't even get warm when fast charging.

youre probably looking at the battery temp. battery temp is different. if your battery hits 60C, youll automatically shut down. everyone i know with a nexus 6 sees over 50C cpu temp rather often. well, depending how hard you are using the cpu, and the temp around you.

Partly. Through normal operation with stock interactive governor I sit around 40-50 playing music, opening coc, etc. Phone never feels hot in hand.
When I'm idling or reading something or casually scrolling I'm always sitting 35-40 CPU temp.
Obviously if I crank it up and lock to 2.6GHz and run some CPU stresses I quickly get up to 75C :laugh: but that isn't normal operation. Relaxed operation when the CPU is idling should sit pretty low.

it probably was something else that made it reboot, being plugged in and gaming. btw, thats the second best way ive found to get the phone really hot, plugged in and gaming

using the cpu lightly or it just sitting there wont get it hot at all. listening to music is using the cpu very lightly. if it gets hot just sitting there, then that is a problem. thats usually caused by a process getting "stuck" and the cpu staying a 100% active. so the heat in that situation would be a symptom, but not the problem.
