Is your Note 4 warmer then typical

Those of you that have your hands on the note 4 already. Does it seam to get pretty warm while using it? The back side to me felt a lot warmer then I would expect from a portable device. I have to be honest I am used to having a hard case on my note 3 so maybe this is normal.
Thanks for your input

I haven't noticed it myself but it is not unnatural that a device gets a bit warm with extended usage. Downloading, streaming, gaming etc will somewhat stress the device. Especially the more you're doing at one time. Happened to my Nexus 5 all the time.

and, since you are in Florida, its still summer there I assume, so its bound to be warmer than it might be here in the beautiful midwest
plus, getting a new phone warm is gonna happen, since you probably havent put it down for more than 10 minutes so far

Thanks. It did take about 20-25 minutes of solid usage before it started to warm up. I do not typically keep the phone on that long but of course i had to configure everything over again so it had longer then average use on it.

Just got mine today and it got a little hot when I applied the OTA update! I'm going to watch it!

Mine got pretty warm after rooting and working it to apply all of my root apps. But it's not hot enough to worry about.

Let the phone settle in. You want a hot phone. Record 4k video for 2 min.
NOTE 4

It definitely gets warmer than my m8 did. Nothing alarming though.

Mine run very cool under heavy usage and i play lots of graphic intensive Games one of those games being Solforge which use to get the Note 3 very warm...but note i got Power Saving restrict cpu performance on which I think drops cpu to about 1.3Ghz each

Mine is far cooler than my note3 and note2. Very heavy use and its rooted , never warm to the touch

NOTE 4

Average CPU Temp

Ok, just got my phone like 4 days ago. It running fine, and it is the best phone I've ever had (sorry Note 3, you were the bro and all but..... )
Anyway, I do have one small problem...well, I think I do. My phone's CPU temperature hovers around 85-95 degrees Fahrenheit. This is with mild web browsing (Facebook, Siliconera, etc).I have wakelock detector, Better Battery Stats, everything to watch my CPU usage and I don;t see any discrepancy.The back gets warm but not too warm. I just want to know if that is okay or not. I never noticed this on my note 3 but then again, I always had the S-View case on, so maybe I just never noticed. I don;t want to have to return my phone, as it was hard as a mofo to find. Alas, I will if I have to,

Mine is

Is yours around the same temperature too? If so, then maybe this is normal. Not really what's normal or not having been spoiled with the s-view case.

Sorry, got distracted n didnt realize incomplete text got posted.
Mine hovers bout 43deg C. Whats your ambient temp? My average room temp is 26degC. That could be why mine slightly higher than yours...
Also im using s view case. So cant feel the heat by touch

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the LG Q6 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

heating issue with regular usage
I am having heating issue with just regular usage like camera and WhatsApp video call. The frame near volume buttons gets really hot.
Let me know if other are not facing that same issue then I will initiate a replace.

I am also facing same heating issue with normal/basic usage. Its very irritating. I read some of the reviews on amazon site. I assume, Not all Q6 users are facing this excessive heating issue.. so confused, what to do... not sure if i should return it and ask for replacement? any suggestions?

There is a heating near the volume button. I guess its normal. May be a update can help.

Hope for an update soon

I guess then there is no use in replacing the device only way is to wait for an update and hope they would solve this.

Misleading facts LG Q6
LG Q6 Two misleading points advertised:
1) The Processor stated on the LG website and Amazon.in is Snapdragon 435 but the phone has an older Snapdragon 430.
2) The phone is advertised as having a full metal body but the back panel is plastic.

For me, second point is not a deal breaker cuz I knew before buying.
Is it point 1 true?

You shouldn't believe the CPU Z app it will tell you 430 instead use CPU X it shows you Qualcomm MSM8940 which actually is the 435 we are talking about.
Why would a company mislead the customer by telling the wrong CPU it is really easy to find it out. Also LG is a reputed brand. On the other hand don't convey wrong info to people do some research then speak up.

Actually I pretty well knew that it doesn't have a metallic body I didn't care but was happy to know that the edges are metallic.

Its not a heating issue, the processor is in the left side, near the volume, its metal, i use the camera and feel the heat, but my phone says its only 36 degrees, not alarming though, its normal.

I have seen users complaining about over-heating of the phone. The volume side of the metal frame does get warm at times but nothing alarming. I am a moderate user. I don't play games but do a lot of other apps, do a lot of browsing and articles reading through browser. I am really very satisfied with this device and its performance. SD435 can only take so much. Heavy users, in my opinion shouldn't buy phones with SD400 series. You know what you are buying. So, don't complain. This is a perfect phone for everyday essentials.

Dont update software , my phone wasnt heating on normal usage but now its warm all the time and battery bakup reduces by 20%

Heating near volume keys
My phone is heating near volume keys badly, it's a faulty device if they have placed the processor near it! I just bought it on 23rd September in an Amazon Sale replacing my old ****ty device for 3k . But I guess they are clearing out the faulty versions in these sales!

This is true.. Battery backup after update is really bad.. Doesn't last even a day..

Its normal mine does not heat

Mine does heat up a little along the sim slot side. But only when running graphic intensive apps. Otherwise, heat is normal.

Mine is good, it doesn't heat up very much even playing games, just feel a little bit warm.

I think the heating issue is more when using mobile data services. And is very high when the signal strength is low.
Gets heated up near the volume buttons.

Its a heater
U do not need room heater in winters
I m selling it becoz its summer
Bought 2 days ago and regretting a lot

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.

Question S21 Ultra Snapdragon Always Running Warm

Simple use of the phone - browsing, instagram, google news, whatsapp, etc., the phone gets warm. Playing PUBG for 30 minutes, the phone gets a lot warmer, but never hot to the touch. The only way it stays cool is if I'm not using it at all. In comparison, my OnePlus 7 Pro stays cool all the time, except when playing graphic-heavy games.
Any setting I'm missing?

Welcome to the hot club!

That's odd my s21 ultra stays cool barely warm when gaming

If you have the Exynos version of the phone, then that could explain the heat. But if you have a SD888 variant, then your phone will still get a little warm, but not quite as hot as the Exynos.

Using GSAT to check temperature levels, any light activity gets the phone to about 36C to 37C. I tried restarting the phone about 5 times in a row and it went to about 44C.

Thanks for updating your post title =). That's the clarity we need for this phone on XDA.
Anyway, I'm unsure of this, but I'm pretty sure that when a phone is booting up it generally creates a tiny bit of heat because it's just getting everything initially setup for that boot.
But yeah, just be glad that you have the SD version. If you didn't, it might be even hotter! And I agree that this phone still gets pretty warm - I just haven't done any temperature tests on mine. Either way, do you happen to be using a case on this phone? I'm a caseless phone user and my phone still gets warm when used for an extended period of time... So I have a feeling that some thicker, heat sealing cases might be turning these phones into toasters...
*Edit* - maybe they'd be more like hand warmers? Lol

Coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro, the heat generated during light use is so noticeable that I had to install a temp monitor (gsat). No problems with previous phone.
I have the official leather cover on, it may contribute to the heat but it shouldn't be that much, I reckon.
I don't need hand warmers haha.

Please take a 10 minute 4K30 Video and say how much % battery it drained and if the phone got hot.

I also have the Snapdragon version and I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is normal or not, but my phone gets warm often especially the aluminum on the top left opposite of the camera. I've been keeping track of the temperature and it seems like my phone is always operating around 33C - 35C on normal everyday use like browsing, instagram and youtube. When I use the camera it goes to almost 40C. These numbers are around 91F-95F and 104F respectively. I recorded a 3 minute video on 4k60 and that's when it hit around 40C. Really trying to figure out if I should do an exchange.

Exynos: Lost the same 5% as you reported, and phone got hot around the camera module. Temperature of surrounding environment was around 20-25 degrees celcius. The phone didn't feel especially hot in general otherwise (using a relatively slim case).
Losing 5% in 10 minutes means about 30% per hour. So one could record in 4K for about 3-4 hours straight? Is that really that bad?

Yes it's bad in my opinion. My S20+ (with the infamous/bad Exynos 990) lost 5% in 15 minutes 4K30 video recording and got barely warm.

Yes, that's what I thought. I'm coming from the S9+, and there were several issues with that too when it first came out, which were all fixed with subsequent updates.
Just curious, how do you find the recording in FHD60? That's been my default recording as I don't actually have any 4K monitors.

Just thought I'd update here - re-tested with the April update. Lost 4% in 10 minutes on 4K30 video recording this time. Heating not as bad, although that's simply guessing/subjective (I don't have a heatgun).

It's just natural to lose 4% in 10 mins of 4k30fps recording. You are basically using all the system resources when operating the camera - i.e. the CPU, RAM and storage all run at the highest. It's not just this device you test this on any device iOS included and the results will be almost the same.
