Hi I bought this phone few hours ago. After using it for a while (not heavy gaming, just browsing the options and stuffs), it gets extremely hot in the back. With a monitor app I can see that the temperature is about 45℃ . I'm on WiFi , mobile data and NFC deactivated. What it could be?
mostly its because its made out of aluminum which transfers the heat away from the internals. so it will feel hot but after a week or so it will settle down
I'm gonna wait few days and if the problem remain I will return it back. Now I'm charging it turned off and there's no overheating. Weird, what could it be?
Mine peaks at about 48degC when using navigation, or using hangouts for video call. Other than that, normal use is around 33-40degC and maybe 27-30degC from idle. Overnight its about 23-26degC according to Gsam.
It does get quite warm when you use it, but it also cools down very quickly due to the material.

Wow 48°C is very high! I think there's something wrong...
There's nothing wrong with that. It's all dependent on the user and his tasks. Devices with aluminum body are known to get hot rather quickly, and as mentioned earlier, it's because aluminum soaks up the heat away from the internals of the device (like the motherboard, processor and such) and therefore prolongs their lives. Plus, if you lay the phone down for like five to ten minutes it'll cool off quickly. I use the HTC Double Dip Flip Cover and I don't have to worry about that - of course it's not a viable solution since not all of us like cases, but it helps, plus I love the kick-up stand feature.

So you think it's normal that it gets very warm after few minutes of normal use?
Unfortunately, yes, that's how it is designed to be. I used a Galaxy S3 for quite a while and believe me, hot plastic isn't fun either, especially because it stays hot for a long time and doesn't cool off quickly, and also the internals of the S3 got hot as well (not just the body) which shortens their lives and also drains the battery fast. It's the same with the S4.

mine got very warm for the first week or so but i was flashing a new rom everyday and i still flash very often but it doesnt get as hot as it did when i first got it
Thanks for all your answers Now my phones is pretty warm even on the screen, gonna turn it off for a while xD Maybe a software update could fix this?
Perhaps, but there aren't any software updates as far as I am aware; the only official OS is 4.1.2 at the moment. If you want to root and go for a custom ROM, I'd recommend either Android Revolution HD 10.3 (for a fully stock experience that's quicker and more stable than the stock ROM) or Trickdroid (which is basically also stock-like but has many nice tweaks and additions) - I have not experienced any overheating issues ever since I went for ARHD and then Trickdroid, but then again I only started taking note of this about a week after I bought the phone; you need to let it completely settle first and not judge so early.
Good luck

Yes I'm gonna wait until Friday. Now I've turned off my phone to let him cool down. After I've turned it up, in few seconds it gets go 40°C (104°F). I've just turned it up!

I've had my One for a couple of months now and everything you've described has been normal for me. 48 is definitely at the high end of temps I've seen on the phone, but the battery and CPU are both capable of surviving that for short periods of time very easily. If you're really concerned you can install something like CPU-Z or CPU Monitor to track the CPU frequency in real time: if the phone gets too hot (by it's own standards) you'll notice the clock throttled to lower than 1.7gHz. If its not throttling, just enjoy the warm feel
Also, when you boot the phone up as you mention, it will of course warm up quickly because its doing a lot of working turning things on and setting up again. 40 is normal use temp for me.

Well that seems high rather quickly. I'd wait a couple of days and monitor the temperature levels and with which activity. If things don't get better, send it in for a replacement. I'd call HTC and notify them about this and see what they recommend doing in the time being. My average temperature is 25 degrees and with browsing and such it usually increases to mid 30s.

BTW, the quicker you drain the battery the quicker it heats up of course (for many reasons). I prefer my screen brightness at 90% and all services running all the time, which I suspect it's why mine runs at 40 while others may run normally in the 20s or 30s. What things/settings do you have going on right now?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
90% brightness and a lot of background services will most certainly increase the temperature and drain the battery quicker. I have almost every service that I do not need hibernated by Greenify and the brightness set to Auto, even Auto seems too bright for me. That most certainly helps with battery draining as well as heating issues.
Just turn Power Saver on. You won't be missing the slower CPU speed cos the GPU speed is not reduced. Most games will still play perfectly well and you won't even notice any increased lag in any app. Go into the Power settings, click on the Power Saver word, turn off what you don't want then turn Power Saver on

Actually Power Saver mode slows my device down and the UI becomes a bit slower and a little less responsive but it's nothing annoying. In fact, whenever I miss my Galaxy I turn on Power Saver mode so I can experience the slower UI, but even then it is still faster and more responsive than TouchWiz. Haha!

My UI does not slow down even a little bit With Power Saver on I can still play Asphalt 7 at 60fps.
That's nice I suppose. I just turned it on for the sake of trying and you're right, the Ui is still pretty responsive and snappy. Perhaps I was talking about the One X and not this one. I am losing my memory. Lol

I'm thinking about getting a Moto X. I usually get a top-tier phone, but this one has really caught my eye.
I want a high-end device, but the "best" phones are all rather large. When I started looking at all the different "mini" versions, it turns out most of those phones are about the same as the Moto X. Nobody is really packaging their best phone with a smaller display; all the minis are pretty much 1.7GHz dual core units with 720-line displays. Compared to most of those the Moto X really fits my hand, and I like a lot of the features.
One thing I'm curious about is the operating temperature. My last three phones have all gotten pretty hot from time to time, but I read in a review that the Moto X draws a bit less current, and as a result it also runs a good bit cooler than some faster phones. This phone does seem to get a lot of life for a 2200mah battery.
Has anybody noticed any heat from this phone, or that it's particularly cool compared to other phones you've had? FWIW, I'd be using the Verizon version with 32GB.
Thanks in advance.
It gets warm when in my truck with GPS on, charging, and listening to podcasts... but no where near as warm as my Nexus.

Both 4 and 5.
No where near as the galaxy s4. The galaxy s4 gets so hot it burns lol.
MOTO X Slapped
I must say the Moto X is the of the coolest higher end phone I've used. There is absolutely no issue with heat on mine, even with a few hours of video running.
Both Samsung and LG phones can quite hot for me. Naturally any phone will get hot with prolonged GPS use.
i mean it gets warm, but thats it. i wouldnt call it hot compared to my Gnex, which would literally be on the verge of burning my face off. only time my X gets warm is if im using it while its charging. other than that, no problems at all

I guess it all depends on what you mean by top tier. If by top tier you mean a phone that works great as a phone, feels good in your hand, has a nice screen for its size, no lag and stock android plus, with the plus being very useful extras like touchless controls, motorola assist and active display, then the Moto X is top-tier. If by top-tier you mean has the best specs on paper but has lag due to its ridiculous OEM skin, drops calls and can't hold a 4G LTE signal well in weak signal areas, then by all means get the top-tier GNote3. I had it and returned it and got 2 Moto X's instead.

Never gets hot even when I WiFi tether my computer to it. My GNex used to get boiling hot when I did that.

What do you mean by faster? The CPU clock speed? Because I tested it side-by-side with the GNote3 and the Moto X beat the GNote3 in every data speed test I ran and opened apps and loaded web pages noticeably faster than the GNote3.
I don't think so. My note3 consistently pulls faster data TMob vs TMob on speed test.

I am on Verizon. The Moto X and the GNote3 and even my GNex all do well in strong signal areas. Where the signal is weak, the Moto X outperforms them all.

Hmmm... Probably. Didn't get to test x at work on day off. I switched to T-Mobile. My note has been pulling faster on TMob vs x on atnt. Note is still pulling down faster at apartment. At work, that will probably be true, x pulling down faster on a weaker signal. My refill runs out today on my note and might be awhile before I get to test again.

Moto X is getting hot
I have recently bought Moto X mobile, it is getting heat wen it is in charging, When i use camera, when i play games and wen i use some long time(not too long)...did anyone find this same issue in ur Moto X.???
Pls let me know..!!!

I'm too facing that issue. but that doesn't impact the usage or performance of x. even many of the youtube users checked that it is heating up little but not as xperia z2

This morning i woke up and my x was at 125° or 52c not sure if I have an issue or not but it seems like the general opinion is that it runs cool.

To me it seems that the front and back of my TMo Developer Edition is too hot. Just got an app to meaure the temp and its 39C without any serious load (facebook or just web browsing).
Anyone else has measurements to compare?
My dev edition gets hot with Maps navigation such that Maps just dies. If I charge it when using navigation, Maps dies quickly. Else it lasts for a while longer before dying. My note 3 and note 4 can go on and on with navigation even being charged at the same time.
That's nothing to worry about. If it actually overheats, it will shut down before damage is done. ?
I purchased my phone on Thursday. I spent all Thursday and Friday downloading all my apps on wifi at work, Migrating my pictures and music, installing the update, and just generally setting up my phone the way I like it. Saturday I started playing with it. I was playing Angry Birds Transformers and the phone got really hot. After just two levels. I let it cool off a bit and tried Scramble With Friends. Same thing. Then Marvel Puzzle Fighters. This, combined with the poor battery life I'm getting (around 16-19 hours) makes me wonder if I have a unit I should exchange. I never bought into the whole 48 hours thing, but I get 30 hours out of my 2013 Droid Maxx depending on usage so I was expecting something similar. I consider myself a moderate user; bluetooth commuting and gym, wifi at work and home to save data, a little music at work and gym (sometimes my library, sometimes streaming) editing fantasy sports lineups, social sites, taking my turn on Words and Scramble with Friends, the occasional YouTube clip and, when I get home, around 30 minutes gaming. I do play some Gameloft games and they never made my Maxx over heat (or did they and I couldn't feel it through the Incipio case?). I know it's not something running in the background. Screen time is my main battery culprit, followed by Cell Standby and WiFi. I disabled all VZW apps and use Battery Saving for my location settings unless I'm navigating. I can't imagine Angry Birds would tax that Snapdragon 805 to cause heating like this. Has anyone else had their phone heating up on them? Did you exchange it?

It is gong to get warm with heavy gaming using CPU and GPU and well saying it feels warm/hot is pretty subjective. I would go into the Verizon store and compare it warmness wise to the demo units in the store that are on constantly.
Thanks

That's what I was thinking. I noticed in the VZW store the demo unit had Angry Birds and a golf game on it. I was going to go play on the demo unit and see if it feels like mine. It's hard to see how fast the demo unit battery drains because you can't unplug the charger but at least I can check the heat issue. Thanks!
This phone gets really hot just charging with the turbo charger. Not a fan at all.

That's just the turbo charger. Not at all the phone itself. I think this "turbo charger" was a bad idea and is bad for the battery.
Quick question. What back does your phone have, ballistic nylon or the kevlar-aluminum-glass one? Only reason I ask is because I checked the demo units at the verizon store and the ballistic nylon was much hotter than the others.
I own Moto z, and this phone get pretty warm when browsing in chrome maybe 10 minutes.
It really unpleasant to hold.
My previous phone was Moto G5 plus, and I didn't have that problem with G5.
How about x4?
Thanks

Never had these problems. It's always cold
No heating issue unless I use the phone with full brightness under direct sunlight
With normal usage (browsing and playing games), the phone never overheats.
Ok, thanks guys

Yup yup, never had overheating problems. Granted there aren't any games on my phone nor do I ever go higher than half brightness but even while doing browsing and such while it's charging it never gets more than what I'd guess room temp.

In northern hemisphere the first summer for this phone is starting. we will see about overheating in June.
No overheating here too. I'm using a Spigen TPU cover so it should be getting even warmer than in other situations but it doesen't. The highest I've seen is 27°C with the internal probe which means barely hotter than skin surface outside. Also it cools down really rapidly even with the case on.
Hi guys,
For a couple of weeks now my girlfriend and I both are the happy owners of the N7P.
Beautiful device and does everything perfect.
Both are of course the same identical N7P's (packaging numbers and all device ID's on the phone are identical) , on contract from the same store (Vodafone) and bought at the same time.
One thing we noticed a couple of days after usage is that my screen is a lot brighter and less yellowish (without auto brightness and blue light filter off).
could this be a refurbished model or could this happen from the factory?
The second thing we noticed is that my girlfriend's 7P is running HOT, not only during charging but also during normal use and standby.
Really noticeable while holding both devices and it really disturbed us.
I first thought it was an specific app but couldn't find anything.
After some testing we decided to factory reset both our devices and set them up exactly the same and installed a temperature monitoring app.
After some hours of testing again with some basic features and standby time on both phones, the result was that my girlfriend's 7P turned out to have an avarage of 7 degrees celcius higher overal temperature and 5 degrees celcius higher cpu temperature.
The store found my personal tests and results not convincing enough and said that if I were to return the phone they would do testing of their own and if they would find the results disturbing enough send it back to Nokia... At a lot of extra costs.
I hope that anyone could give some advice and/or explanation for this before I go back to the store.
Thank you for reading.
Regards Tim.
If screens isn't the same, imo that would be the argument to return one of phones to be fixed.
I would try switch phones and you will be using your girlfriend's phone and she will be using your's. That would enough to find out if the problem is with some app or is with one of 7+ itself.
