I just downloaded Pocket Legends earlier today, and I've noticed that my Note gets unusually hot while I'm playing. This is a bit of a concern since this has never happened before with any other app I've used. Has anybody else experienced the same thing?
Thanks in advance, guys.
it's very normal during gaming. most of us experience excessive heating especially when games are HD. even a few minutes of play would cause heating..
Thank you for the reply. I'm curious though, will the excessive heat do any damage to the Note? (It can get quite hot at times)
Thanks again, and take care.

Till now it hasn't caused with even 2 hours of continuous HD gameplay. It got very hot...but no reports of something burning
I have an alarm that blares at me very loudly if the battery temp gets over 65C. I stop using it then!
I have only had it go off twice, once when I was playing a game, had a case on it (a pretty think one), and the back was being bathed in sunlight. It scared the bejesus out of me! The second time I was playing a game for several hours, no case. I bought the PC version instead!
A couple thing's I've noticed, when doing some serious gaming, the unit gets VERY hot. We've seen this before with Teg 3 tablets COUGH*acer*COUGH, but my concern is putting a case on this thing... I'm worried that retaining all that heat might cook the thing's insides.
This will probably resolve itself, but last night I went to bed at ~80% battery, watched a movie, and when it was done, the screen turned off as normal... and when I woke up, the battery was down to 25%. My Razr Maxx had similar issues when new and apparently had to do with the OS calibrating it's battery meter.
What is everyone else seeing on theirs?
Use CPUspy to see if it was deep sleeping? BetterBatterystats to check wakelocks? Mine seems to be sleeping fine, haven't seen mine do anything weird yet
I'm not a serious gamer but I did put my N7 through about an hour of some pretty intensive gaming and it got a little warm like any device but it was never HOT to the touch. Battery life on day 1 was a bit weak but thats because I was too excited and did not give the N7 time to fully charge before playing with it.
Yesterday it was fully charged at around 2pm when I unplugged it.
Went to the library for a little over an hour and mooched their WiFi then went to my friends house.. from 4pm till midnight we were abusing my N7 pretty much constantly... showing off GNow, Maps compass mode, sports scores etc and when I got home around 1am I still had 47%.
Granted, I didn't game at all yesterday or watch much video.. but it was still being used fairly constantly.
Therr are apps that cause your device to wake. I discovered "hangaroo" does this on my wife's evo3d.
Some market apps are that annoying, just uninstall that certain app and the device shouldn't wake up randomly
on xda for android and mistyping like a boss
The only thing on my N7 that wasn't on my other Android devices was Dark Meadow: The Pact... I'm thinking, like mentioned, it's a new device issue that'll resolve itself as far as battery life. The 2nd and 3rd day with my Razr Maxx, I awoke to a dead battery, now it's rocking 2-3 days between charges.
And the heat, well, that was mostly during that Dark Meadows game and that's completely optimized for a Teg 3, so it's abusing all 4 cores plus the GPU portion of the chip. Still, not sure I'd want all that contained in some insulating case.
My Nexus 7 doesn't get hot like you described. My only issue is that the left part of my screen isn't stuck down completely. It pops up while people on reddit are saying is common. Anyone else with this issue here?

Played about two hours of GTA 3 yesterday, it did get 'warm' but not hot.
I think it really depends on how lucky/unlucky you are with the Nexus 7 unit you received. Some people are reporting a dead unit after using it for about 3 hours. Others are reporting dead pixels. And, you're reporting this...
I guess I was lucky enough to not have any of those issues with my Nexus 7.
I am currently using a GNEX that is now almost 2 years old so i am due for a new phone. So far the Xperia Z is at the top of my list followed by the HTC One.
However there is one thing that bothers me about the Z. The overheating issues i have been hearing about.
To current Z owners. How bad is this issue and has Sony explained what is causing this and if they intend to fix it?
I don't think there is an overheating issue. The phone back gets a bit hot under certain conditions but never has it affected my use. I have a feeling it is due to the tight packaging of the phone and the use of glass which causes this, but I really isn't an issue. Don't let that scare you away from the phone.

Yes, it is not a problem at all. Trust me. Also, I integrated the 3-phase thermal protection into my custom kernel and it works like a charm, keeping it cool all the time.
It does get warm rather quick but it is really only a warmth, not "hot". My old milestone 2 used to be permanently warm and quite hot when using it (especially internet use on 3g). My S2 was usually pretty cool, but got close to painfully hot when playing intensive games like modern combat. So far, the xperia Z hasn't got as hot as either of these phones for me.
The phone does get hot but only when using chrome so I'm sure its not an issue just a bug. I know that phones can get a little hot and I accept that but when I first experienced the heat coming from the top of the phone it was enough to worry me. I am however confident that it will be resolved so I'm not worried.
I really never heard that issue before...
Buy this and amaze

To be exact there is no such thing in the XZ as overheating. At least I did not hear of "overheating". Some phones tend to get a bit warmer during intensive tasks, but not excessive.
BTW, the difference between a bit warm and overheating is that overheating is actually a thermal "shock" that would usually lead to a restart of your device, or a smoking device.
well mine gets hot when i use the screen a lot. System Tuner shows me that the cpu gets up to 49 degrees. I'm really thinking of buying Cooler Master 212 for the cpu I'm really concerned about the cpu life.

This phone will be worth about $10 by the time the CPU is affected!
hope so !
Hi,
Just thought i would let you know. I had my Xperia Z three weeks. On sunday it was on charge and my phone rang. I took it off charge and answered the call.
The screen was extremely hot then it cracked in my ear. There are a few others that i know of on sony forums who reported this issue but Sony are refusing to replace my phone saying its not a "manufacturing issue".
Im left without a phone and starting legal action against them.

Really? Please let us know if you get anything from Sony in the lawsuit.
I also happen To have this issue, my phone gets got to the point it hurts my skin! I even use a case and the case gets really hot too
When i play S.surfers for about 45 minutes I see that the game doesn't run smoothly.Eventually the display also becomes warmer and that results that the display does not respond properly on my fingers.

with the latest firmware (.244) the phone runs even cooler than with the previous firmware (.423). Also, intensive games lag less.

Hi guys,
Im new here and fairly new to Android coming from the iPhone (I know....what was I thinking with apple?)..
I have the first HTC One for Verizon, I love this phone and generally don't have any problems with it. I have been testing out ROMs and have been pretty successful with them but the only problem I have is after steady use, maybe 15-20 minutes the phone gets hot. (not burning my hand hot..) But just out of concern for the phone, is this normal or is it damaging to the phone? I'd like to try to make this last the 2 year contract I just bought.
- Thanks in advance

should be OK, the cover acts as heat sink, that's why you can feel the heat more than other phones. afaik, the max HTC specification temperature is 55C.
when the phone goes beyond specification temperature (eg using navigation in the car in sunlight while charging) the LED will start blinking red, and charging will be disabled to prevent damage.
EDIT: you could install an app to monitor temperature; GSAM can monitor batter & temperature
and if you use a lot of apps that use high cpu, you can think about installing a custom kernel with more "aggressive" thermal options

Oh thats good to know. Thank you for the reply. Brand new phone, I probably get a little paranoid but better safe then sorry. I will look into a custom kernel if I start to see that flashing red from overheating. Thanks again..

I've never had any problems. When running CPU intensive apps, my battery goes up to 45C but not more.
The hottest I've noticed it was using navigation in the car (but didn't check temperature as I was driving), but I almost never use that anyway.

Htc Does fell hotter than any other android phone , yes! cause its metal it conducts heat !! , i personally think its good that it conducts heat as it cools down at a better pace than any other phone..
Htc one feels nice on the hands in the winter.

Hahaha, up here in NYC that doesn't sound like such a bad idea. If I wasn't scared of blowing up my phone I'd attempt overclocking for extra heat.

I've found in the ROM I am running an app called Trickster MOD which displays all the temps and clock speeds. Staying steady around 40-45c depending on what I am doing. More toward 45c when playing games. I guess as someone said before, because of the metal casing you can feel the heat coming from the device. Thank you for your feedback everyone.

LOL on the heating part :silly:
but sounds about right on the temperature, my phone also stays between 40 to 45C when using games or graphic/cpu intensive programs; i've had it since about march or april, and no adverse effects (so far?)
i almost never use navigation, but if you want to test temperature, try it, it REALLY heats up.

I use the Google Maps Navigation often cause I do alot of walking around NYC and I often get lost in my own city lol. Ive actually never noticed any feeling of heat higher then any other app. Then again I use it for short term walking, usually 20-30 minutes at most.

aahah in switzerland it's around -1°C ... so I don't need it actually.. but when I go to the mountains... with some extra batteries it's a D you know what I mean
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

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.

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
