GN getting really hot?

Anyone else noticing their phone getting really hot? Especially at the top, right where the antenna is?

"Really hot" is a relative term. Please measure the cpu temperature with a program in the marketplace and update this post with valuable data.

Ooh okay, is there a particular app I should use?
But to describe, its hot to the touch. Uncomfortable on bare non-hand skin.

Yeah I've noticed the top right of the phone gets really hot compared to previous devices I've owned even the sgs2. I assume that as devices are getting thinner more heat will dissipate into the outer casing so its probably fine just a little disconcerting

I dont mean to hijack your thread but check out my thread on the issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20100575
The Nexus goes above 42 degrees celsius with minimal use while my Galaxy S2 stays at 27 degrees celsius with very heavy use (internet, 3D gaming, music playing, multiple apps running).

This device is Hot

This device runs so hot. When I'm playing mine craft or on youtube this phone gets dangerously hot.
How how hot does your xperia ion get?
Is there a limit on how hot it should?
Does heat take a toll on battery life?

According to an app I have, "Battery Widget" my battery has got to 114°, it was 110 outside at the time. Its at 95 right now.

Mine is only at 25°C which should be around 80°C right now. Max I've seen on my ion is ~35°C(95°F). I'm using Battery Widget as well.

I don't have a battery app, so I can't know exactly how hot it gets, but it definitely gets way too hot! If streaming music over Bluetooth, this thing gets crazy hot! Literally HAVE to take it out of my pocket!

Advice on compatibility [Battery}

Hey guys do you think this battery for the GTi9100 will work in our devices? This is a steal i want it xD

Oops

I don't think so. I remember looking at the international version and the battery size was different. As well as the probability of having different voltage output. Strongly font recommend it unless you are willing to risk damaging your phone.

Well if the voltage is different the phone won't eve. Start and no only the galaxy nexus and t989 well work for the 989

3.7 is what that battery uses. As does ours. It was mostly the form I was concerned about. But after looking at measurements of the i9100, it won't even fit. :'( darn I wanted this! Lol

Get the galaxy nexus extended battery. Its 2100mah and im getting about 4h of screen time with it. It needs slight work to fit with the original cover but its not something crazy. I got mine from verizon for 25$$ and sold the stock battery and the cover to a buddy for 15 bucks with a nexus : D

"Charging temporarily stopped"

Hey, my phone died and I put it on my charger before I left to run to the store. When I came back, the phone was RIDICULOUSLY hot and it prompted on the screen "Charging temporarily stopped due to high temperature." I unplugged the phone, cooled it off with a frozen pack of Bacon (bacon is good for ANYTHING Lol) and powered it back on and plugged it into the charger. I plugged the charger into a different socket because I'm pretty sure the socket I was in was overheating my phone. Well, that mixed with the fact that I had on an Otterbox and it was sitting on a microfiber couch Lol. I'm currently on the stock ROM over clocked to 1.7

GHz and such. My question is this: has anyone else experienced this and could it have caused permanent damage? Everything seems to be fine now and my battery temp is at a cool 91.7°.

Well then..just run it like you stole it! It's happened to a few people but I haven't heard if its caused long term effects. The otterbox shouldn't contribute much to the heat.

Temperature?

What sort of temperature are you guys seeing while playing games? Am getting 40c kinder hot to touch after while. Shame because battery life is just so good.

It should be fine, it doesn't get any not hot than any other device. You just feel it more because it's metal.
It's actually better for the device, because the heat is getting expelled. Unlike plastic phones where it stays inside of the device.

40c under load is great. You just feel it because aluminum is a good heatsink material.

Yeah mines about the same as yours between 35 and 45

It's ONLY hitting 40 & you are only feeling it because of the design intent. Think of the alloy body as a heat exchanger, just like the plate type used to indirectly transfer heat from boilers or steam generators to water for domestic or hydronic use. Just like in those applications, metal alloys are much better conductors than plastic composites (which is why insulation/insulators are made of ceramics or composite materials), so the transfer of the heat energy away from the device internals to the cooler ambient atmosphere is much more noticeable on the M8. Other devices are also generating as much heat, but they are relying on ported vents & copper heat tape to remove a much more limited amount of heat away from the device internals. You also notice it to a much lesser extent on those composite plastic devices because they are using insulative materials, so more of that heat energy byproduct remains inside the body for a longer period of time. The only time the plastic devices really have an advantage is in hot climates, when the device is being used in a windshield mount & even then, once the device heats up, it still takes longer to dissipate the accumulated heat load.
40 degrees Celsius is a testament to the laws of thermal dynamics & why you see the M8 dissipating more heat energy.
