I sent an email to the developer of Robo Defense to let him know that game isn't working on our phones and that it's causing freezing issues as well as overheating. He asked me to send him the log dump from my phone and he just responded with an inquiry to test it out without the sound enabled. He's suspecting sound to be cause of the issue
Now i just played the game for 10minute or so without sound enabled and it ran great without a hitch and it didn't get hot enough for me to get worried
Can some of you run the game without sound for a prolong period of time to see if it works?
Also based on the description, it looks like there is an issue with sound with atrix as well

I have always played RD with disabled sound, and it works just fine on SGS2. It does heat up however quite high, and eats TONS of battery juice. With sound off (my usual mode) I would say it heats up about as much as "Aporkalypse" or "Plants vs Zombies" (both no sound too)
P.S. thanks for doing the work with the dev.
Same on mine. No sound it works, sound it freezes. Mine doesnt get any hotter than my n1 did while playing and its still chugging after a year and a half so I'm taking that to mean that the heat is not an issue..... hopefully lol

If you run it with sound on and it freezes, it gets hot if you don't close out robo defense
So i got quite a few levels of robo defense completed with sound turned off and it plays great without any issues. No high heat issues either

I cant say as I ever sat there with it froze waiting to see if the phone would get hot. It does not when it is running gimped with the sound off, it gets no hotter than it did when functioning normally as on the N1.
It's true of other games unfortunately. Galcon and Apparatus both also crash when sound is enabled. Some games of the market specifically indicate to disable sound to increase stability, though don't specifically say this device.
I have reported issues to the Apparatus developer(s) and they indicated difficulty tracking down causes for freezing.
I've been playing it since I got my GS2 4 weeks ago. Its running fine without the sounds. I do not have a problem with heat. Its the same with other games when played for long periods of time. Good game

Sadly i had to since i was trying to get the author of the game some fresh logs while it was freezing up and it got hot enough to get me worried after a few minutes
Ah, thanks for that. I had some oddity when I was on villian rom where the phone would overheat and shut down. Never did find figure it out but there is most def a problem with the cpu going to 100% and not clocking back down for whatever reason under certain conditions and I would guess you were seeing that here. My phone shut down a few times before I figured out it was heat as it would do it sitting idle after use and I had to "catch it in the act" before I figured out it was overheating. Then I stuck it out and tried to associate it with an app or service but failed to do so. Must have overheated it a half dozen times before I started getting nervous and switched roms. At any rate I know that at least my phone can take a few overheats to shut down and survive. In the back of my mind though is the thought that I might have taken some of the life out of the phone as who knows how good the thermal protections are?
I have had this problem on the sgs2 but I stopped it freezing by ticking the option "reduce framerate". I still get sound but both sound and graphics are not as good. This game was awesome on my Nexus One
Just a +1 from me with Robodefence and the SGS2
Robodefence freezes every few minutes, but there does seem to be a pattern in that it will freeze on exactly the same level several times in a row. If I manually save and exit every level or two then it will run for about 5 levels after the last game save and then freeze.
I have submitted several error reports.

Okay so my epic recently started overheaing again. This first started happening 3 months ago til I took it to my local sprint shop and they fixed it for free. They said not to overcharge my phone and that they had to boost my battery. To further explan my problem, my epic gets really hot when browsing the internet but regardless of that, I just leave my phone in my pocket and next think I know when I try to unlock it is that it shutdown. When it happens, I have no idea. I can't even turn the phone on unless I remove the battery and put it back in. I'm running cm7 (the latest update from 10/22) andi listen to music in my car and most of the time its plugged into my car charger since the battery life is currently horrible on cm7.
So does anyone have any idea of how I can personally fix this or boost it? Its been more than a year so I'm not sure if sprint wll fix it for free.
Dont know what to say except for maybe you need a new battery! I have an extended battery and even though its a bigger battery with way more juice than the oem version, I still get about the same i did on eh17 [stock] but the random reboot thing has happened to me but I never had to battery pull to get it working. I am currently on cm7 too and I noticed that it only happens when its really low battery that it reboots or shuts down saying 0 when I am at like 5%...? but for the most part I think you might need to to a odin to stock and update ota to get ei22 if you want that modem or do ec05 and just use the modem-update zip found in the dev section, after you reflash cm7. my phone never over heats! oops once! I was watching movies on it all day with the wifi and via speaker from netflix but thats the only time. maybe you also might have a very aggressive app running in the background, and thats whats heating up your pocket! are you using tegrak for oc?
Thanks for your time man but not I'm not running anything to oc. I never oc because I really have no need for it. Neither am I running any aggressive apps. I tried leting my battery cool down overnight by taking it out and leaving it next to the window but no luck. The worst part is, this shutdown happens unless I constantly check my phone and use it. If I don't use it for like more than 30mins, it turns off and I hav to do a battery pull. And most of the time after the battery pull, my charge drops from like 90% to 15%
You said your running CM7? I remember on CM7 I couldn't even use the phone or it would reboot due to heat also. You should switch to maybe a different ROM if you'd like more use of the phone or wait patiently for a fix to this issue. I tried asking about this problem in the CM7 thread a month back and no one else seemed to have this issue but me.

I just flashed the EI22 Legendary Rom thru clockwork and same issue.. left the battery out for the second night in a row.. but it still overheats.. hopefully sprint takes care of this for me
Sounds to me like you might have a bad phone, and or battery. I know mine gets hot when using a lot of data like streaming music, or sitting in car dock in hot summer... with out putting ac on it... ><
But it does get pretty warm but not to hot to hold when in a pouch and streaming music from network via bluetooth to a speaker at work. Never had a reboot or shutdown from heat doing that. Only time I had it shut down due to heat was one time in summer in the car dock.. Streaming heat + 110F don't help.
Sounds like hardware to me. If it does it on stock and different roms.
Hmmm, i'm on legendary rom 4.0 with th IAP kernel and i've noticed that when surfing the net for a few hours or playing a game for a few hours the battery will get hot enough to fry an egg it seems. before installing EI22 i noticed it would shut down due to overheat but now I stop all activity on my own cause it gets way hotter than ever before and i'm nervous it's gonna fry. The phone I don't think is recognizing the battery is overheating anymore! Not sure. Thing is, I noticed before ever rooting that this overheating would happen if playing a game for too long on my phone. But doing same exact thing on a friends EVO didn't get hot at all!
Well if you are getting that hot then there is an issue. I work at a Radio Shack*i need different job badly.* and have seen a few phones where it is hardware or even battery related that they are to hot to hold really.
What games were you playing? maybe i will give it a try and see what my phone does. I do have the angry birds, fieldrunners, peggle, plant vs zombie, zenonia 3.. no issues when playing them for a bit.
The thing that gets my phone the hottest is to stream from like google music or xiia live*shoutcast streams* to a bluetooth speaker like I said above. Though streaming to internal speaker or headphones/speakers doesn't get to warm just slightly.
the game I was playing was drag racing (has happened with cut the rope too). Just played it yesterday and no problems. played for like 3 hours straight to test it. This was also after I had organized all the apps and things on my phone. I had found a ton of programs constantly running in the background and other things going on at the same time. Just a big mess. Cleaned it up and no overheating problems now. I think for me it's just something that's gonna happen once in a while when I got too much going on on my phone.
Just read the review by PC Mag, and I have to admit it's making me a little hesitant to pick up the phone Sunday. Essentially when the phone gets warm it auto dims the screen. I wish he posted more details about the issue.
I've been jazzed about the phone for a couple of weeks now, but it does have some drawbacks for me right out of the box. The non-removable battery, the lackluster camera, and lack of micro-sd slot on the Sprint version. Still I could live with those issues, by and large, but the dimming issue reported by PC Mag has me to the point where I'm reconsidering buying in.
I'm hoping people who get this phone over the weekend weigh in with their experience on the issue.
Here's the relevant excerpt:
"One big problem: I did most of my testing with the screen brightness set to maximum. I noticed it dip considerably after about 10 or 15 minutes of benchmarking. When I checked on it in the phone's Settings, I saw the brightness level had dropped down to 66%. I tried to turn it back up, and got the message, "Unable to brighten more due to high temperature. Try again later." I encountered this issue on multiple occasions. Especially when using processor-intensive applications like games, the top half of the phone becomes increasingly warm. LG claims it has not encountered this issue, but two test units as well as our AT&T model of the phone did the same thing."
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2411011,00.asp
Who keeps their phone on max brightness? 66 is twice what my brightness is set on :/
But yes, I will agree that it's an unusual thing to force user to take those measures.

Totally agree. That's why I'm sort of waiting with anticipation for people to get them in their hands and report their experience with that issue. I've got my current phone set to like 30% most of the time, so this is workable, but there are times when I need that brightness maxed out for a significant length of time.
I'm hoping the reports are good. I really want this phone.
If the phone overheats I'm going to ask Sprint to cover the restocking fee when I return it. On the contrary, that's the only review that has mentioned overheating that I could find though.

Yeah but they said it happened with three test sets, with both the AT&T and the Sprint hardware versions. Looks like it dims by design given the warning message they received. That tends to indicate LG knows they run hot on heavy usage.

That's not good news, I'm going to stay optimistic with it since it's already on the UPS truck and if it overheats on any normal use I will return it as defective. In all fairness, I've never had a smartphone that didn't overheat, especially during tethering.

received mine yesterday and I was able to recreate the pc mag error. It wasn't that hot either, wasn't doing much. I'm a bit concerned.

I haven't encountered the error yet, it runs a bit warm, but I keep my screen at about 36% to save battery.
My screen brightness is at 40% and looks great.
People have to understand the powerful hardware runs hotter. It's physics and unfortunately, unlike PC, cars etc, they can't simply install a better cooling system so they use software to tone things down when things get heavy. Also, it's not "overheating" unless the phone acts erratically. Running "hot" does not qualify as "overheating".

More like running warm, I think people might be over reacting a bit whenever this issue is brought up.
This user is reporting random reboots. Also, the sprint rep recommended they pull the battery for about a minute... on the lg optimus g.... with the fixed battery door.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/499063#499063
Sorry to hear that. No problems yet. The camera is disappointing, but everything else is working well. The dimming issue is an issue. I was out taking pics to test the camera and needed more brightness but the phone was locked at like sixty three percent or maybe forty three i cant remember.

Just thought I'd throw this out to see if anyone else has encountered this problem. Yesterday I was using some apps on my Note 2 (TomTom, voip, wifi and 4G ...) and I noticed the top of the phone getting rather hot, to the point that it was becoming uncomfortable to hold to my ear. This was much hotter than normal. I shut down all the running apps with app manager, but the phone stayed hot. CPU was running only about 10%. Finally I had to reboot...then it was back to normal. Its worrying that it could at some time be damaged by overheating. Has anybody had this problem and/or know what might be causing it? Thanks.
i got the same problem when playing a game in 10-15 mins it heated up pretty fast especially the front near samsung logo it was like over 100 degree
The only time I experience overheating is when I'm playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. It happens after about fifteen minutes of play. I haven't had it get uncomfortably hot but I always stop playing the game as it becomes abnormally hot. It's a shame to because I would like to play NFS more that fifteen minutes.

Yes that's the same area, near the phone speaker and logo, where mine was most hot. I'm thinking it could be cpu or graphics processor but I don't know the internal layout of components. But it seems odd on mine that it stayed hot after shutting down any running apps and only 10% CPU. Maybe something running in the background.
That is where the uber powerful quad core monster is grinding the gears of awesomeness at a mind blowing brain zapping 1.6 billion gigahertz lives at. And his girlfriend mali400 lives right next door and she is pumping out all the eye candy she can to satisfy the pleasure receptor s directly into your braiiiiiin.... Lol
In other words yes that's the main processor and graphics chip suckin up the battery. While it does that it's generating heat as a by product. It's completely normal. Nothing to worry about. Happy gaming. And it takes a while for it to cool back down to ambient.
Hope that helps

Did a quick net search on this and found a few forums reporting this problem. i.e. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...es-your-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100-overheat.html
I reported the overheating to Samsung Support. They said they have had no reports of the phone overheating...sounds unlikely after several months and millions of devices sold. Support suggests doing a data wipe from the recovery screen as this will "resolve most problems". Really? ???
Could be a firmware issue which Samsung will find and fix if they get sufficient number of reports. I suggest you report it to Samsung Support: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/...click on "live chat" for mobile phones.
Need for Speed is a game provided by (presumably) Samsung. If you can't play it for long, it seems like that represents some kind of inherent problem with the device. My concern is whether the overheating will be an ongoing, recurring problem. That would limit the usability of the device.
It's not clear if this is a problem that is worse on individual phones or if this is a problem common to all Note 2s. If its individual phones, then I'd probably like to return it for one that doesn't do this.
It seems the Exynos cpu is located near the speaker/logo. "System Tuner Pro" app reports system temperature under "CPU"
Mine is overheating while charging..I Woke up to a battery too hot message..the only thing different is I'm using a flip cover now,I took a screenshot of the temperature, and this was already cooled down a little..anybody know what this is? It's only been happening while charging though...

Samsung Note 2 Overheating Culprit
Two specific reasons : Quad core processor, Aluminium wiring.
Reports of deformity of the note 2 trickling in slowly. Try using processor hungry tasks and see it drop its jaw in 2 hrs.
they cant recall it, now its getting cheaper every day.
Try clearing the cache, supposedly things can occasionally get discombobulated. Last time my phone was about to set fire (gs3), cleared the cache & dalvik and it went back to normal.

I live in Chicago and summer days are already here. My Note 2 has started to let me down, since yesterday my phone is been up to 40c without any used.44 while charging. I dont think this is normal. Im on stock rom. Thank you in advanced.
Overheating persists
My 2 weeks old Galaxy Note 2 gets abnormally hot on the same area(rear camera part & the front phone calling speaker) while on charging, while playing games usually Modern Combat 4 or otherwise, & i am on stock rom as well. ...if anyone has a resolution for the problem then please share..

I have an issue that is 100% reproducible on my G4.
1. I set in Dev option for the animations to be .5x
2. Swipe between home screens left, right left, then press any of the shortcuts in the persistent are of the screen (phone, camera etc).
3. Now try to do the same thing but press any app shortcut or even the recents button. it works fine. I think this is a software issue.
I freaking starting to hate LG UI.
No issues on my G4, however...
I had the same exact issues on the G2 where the digitizer and the screen had to be replaced time and time again, and it'd just break again. Seems like the heat makes it so touches don't register.
I posted the other day about an issue mainly in Pinball Arcade, where taps occasionally weren't registering a flipper activation. This problem seemed to extend into the OS itself, as I have had some hiccups while typing or navigating. I just wiped everything and am trying again...we'll see. But I want this figured out by early next week so I can take advantage of the 14-day period.
Seems to happen when the top part of the phone is really hot
I'm having issues with the touch screen just not registering taps randomly. i can be in chrome scrolling and just have it stop scrolling then decided to start up again and i have to press an app icon multiple times to get it to register. ive only had the phone for 5 hours now. very pissed.
going to go return it now. was going to get the nexus 6 and i should have in the first place.
Some taps not registering here too...sucks, but i don't see any other phone I like out there.
same here I'm having bad touch screen issue, will be returning just paid $635 for this
.. I just started having this issue after the recent tmo update.. Wtf
Don't seem to be having any touchscreen issues. Mine is only heat related. Getting new phone delivered today. Hopefully that will fix it.

It's normal to heat up the first few days while it downloads and installs all your data.
I've had my phone two weeks. It heats up to over 107F while listening to Tune-in Radio. Yesterday at the T-Mobile store it went from 81-107F after 5 minutes of talking on the phone and about 5 minutes of Tune-In Radio. The hottest I've noticed is 117F. This is under normal operation and NEVER happened with any other smart phone I've had (I've had smart phones since 2005). It will be in my pocket and I have to take it out because it's so hot. I don't play intensive games or do anything really intensive on it. The most intensive thing I do is watch youtube videos or periscope. I use this phone exactly as I used my G3 two weeks ago. Nothing has changed and no new apps.

Yeah, that's probably not normal if it's been two weeks. Mine was only warm the first two days, but it quickly resolved once everything's properly set up.
What's funny, is she went down a list of why my phone might be hot: did you leave it in the sun? are you playing intensive games? a case can cause the phone to get hot. using your screen at high brightness can cause the phone to overheat. LOL
I told her that when play store updates 2 apps, it gets hot. She said she could fix that and promptly went to my settings and turned off auto-update. REALLY?

Mines got pretty hot too when updating apps the first day of use, hottest I've ever felt a phone. I've been working at T-Mobile since 2009 and I always thought customers would exaggerate about a hot phone.

I just noticed this last night as well. I had it plugged in and it started to slow down a bit (Thermal throttling) and touches were less responsive.
At this moment it's working great. I really hope this isn't a heat/hardware thing

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using to monitor the temp?
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 G5 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!
i think the G5 heats a little bit too much
today i was simply downloading Hearthstone (800MB approx) and in standby it heated too much
i think its quite excellent actually.
i could not notice any throttling during gaming etc. well maybe thats just because even the gpu is idling at <15% during asphalt 8 play
I had zero issues with thus device heating up until last night... I was at the movies with the fam.. In the theater I only had 1x for data and the phone got hot while searching for a better data connection. Cooled right down after leaving the theater.
Coming from an htc m7, so a huge step anyway... Phone is top!
This was one of the first things I noticed because I used the gps probably 45 mins after taking it out of the box. I watch YouTube vids for around an hour a day and after a while it does become noticeable but I have to be honest; it really doesn't bother me all that much.
Can feel warm and a little uncomfortable in warmer weathers (20-30 Celsius).
Mine heats up a lot. I'm a little concerned honestly.

I don't experience anything unusual.
heres the deal boys...
Yes this phone gets hot when its used hard.....if your not incurring reboots while running it hard , then you'll probably be good
After a month buying this , I started getting reboots ....hot and cold
The first time I sent it in , they said to leave sim and battery at home...
I got it back and started the usual 30 or more updates from App Store and phone got real hot and started rebooting again every minute
even when it was cool...it rebooted but at a longer interval...
They told me to send battery in too on second go around...
Just got it back , it had a system update to do and then the 30+ app updates....this phone was getting a workout...
I did the App updates right after the system update with the optimization ....
I'm 20 apps into it...the battery cooled down and the apps are still going...
looks like they have a battery issue with these phones. If I don't report back , then all is good...

No, it doesn't mean that LG has an issue with the batteries. It only means that YOU had issue with YOUR battery.
I'm glad your phone is OK and it was just the battery.
Only got mine yesterday, but I've used it a lot in that short time and it get nowhere near as hot my previous 2 phone a Nexus 4 and G3 it gets warm but not what I would call hot compared to them 2 anyway, at its worst mostly watching videos it can get a quite warm, but gaming it barely gets warm, I'm loving it so far but time will tell I guess but so far so good.
Mine heats up too, specially while using Snapchat or YouTube. Haven't played Asphalt or other graphic-intensive games, so I can't comment whether my device has the same issue with them or not.
Mine stays quite cool during heavy usage, it does get realy hot while charging though. I expect this is the same with others?
Coming from the Samsung Galaxy Note series (Note 1 - Note 5), the LG G5 gets pretty hot even when idling.... My solution? Waiting for the Note 7 to be released and then goodbye LG!

Check what's running in the background. Mine is very cool (H850).
Better than the V10. My old V10 overheated while I was using Skype to the point it shut itself off. Had no problems with the G5.

I'm so excited for some Pokémon Go! ... But I assume with high precision GPS, screen, camera, connection, my phone's going to get spicy hot. It warms up easily, otherwise, but it gets hot to the touch sometimes while charging.
