I find my OG tends to get noticeably hot during normal use. if I'm doing anything graphics intensive it get super hot. I have never checked the actual temps but its hotter than any phone I've ever owned (also the most powerful :good: ) the heat does not seem to affect the performance of the device it is just a little concerning to me, I know how computers and high heat don't mix well.
How's your signal? Is it low? Do you roam a lot? These can cause your phone to get really warm sometimes hot if your trying to do something that requires data or any type of signal. Its just how CDMA phones are

First, we must establish that "hot" is a relative term. Unless we get some temperatures going, there is no way to know if my "hot" is more or less that someone else's, and so on. I had an Evo3D. My "hot" is "omg, I burnt my damn ear trying to make a freakin phone call!" My "hot" in relation to my Evo4g was "I used the gps a while and now it's kind of warm". Can you grab a temperature when it's up there on the heat scale?

I returned my phone 3 times before I decided to actually test the temperature of the phone.
Download OS Monitor from the play store.
Per discussion with LG, you should not see temperatures that exceed 113 degrees F. The hottest I got my phone through extensive testing was 105 degrees (GPS on, moving around roaming zones, all while playing a video game).
Don't worry about the heat -- It is normal with this phone. There is always one or two posts where someone says "oh yeah, my phone never gets hot"... Just ignore it

Before the JB update, my OG would randomly heat up just from sitting in my office. I get plenty of signal here and don't often play games. I just picked it up off the desk before going to lunch and it was hotter than hell. Like, this-feels-like-it's-gonna-blow-up-soon hot. A quick reboot fixed that until it kept happening every week or so. It hasn't happened once since the update, though.
Over 100 degrees f
Mine got over 100. It sort of burned my hand when I picked it up. I measured the temperature accurately.
It doesn't help that the phone is glass on it's two largest surfaces and has no ventilation for passive cooling. Glass doesn't breathe and retains heat rather well. Probably not the smartest design idea when putting that much power inside a practically sealed glass box with no real means of ventilation.

Little known fact, Kim Jong-Un stole an OG in order and it is actually what is generating heat at the core of his nuclear reactor.
OG's getting hot is widespread. Some measures have been taken to mitigate the heat, but there will always be processes that run that are just going to make this thing heat up.
Mine hit 112 F today. But I was at the beach and it was hot, and the phone is black. So...yea. Under normal circumstances it doesn't get that high. Regardless of what I'm doing.
I use a Sprint S3 and it gets pretty hot too, I've heard the S4 plus (s3 chip set) and the s4 pro (Optimus G chip set) gets pretty warm period. Qualcomm need to optimize the heat output better. But as long as it doesn't stay above 110-115 you'll be fine, it shouldn't fry the chip or anything.

It throttles performance when it heats up to prevent damage. Quad core processor + 2gb RAM + gpu - no forced air cooling = hot. We just gotta be careful.

I was just curious to know if someone else's phone is over heating. Yesterday I was watching a boxing match on youtube with 4G on and it reached to a scary 121°. 4 hours later I was playing the nova demo with the screen at 45% brightness, played for like 20 minutes or so and it reached 112°. Just whanted to figure out if this is normal that personallyI think is not, and also if someone else it's experiencing the same issue. Thanks

Mine can get much hotter than that but it pretty much hovers around the 120 range when I'm browsing the web.
I also get this message when charging and watching a video. I need to exchange it. Just need to find a Best Buy store that has one in stock.
What do you use to check the temp?
mine gets real hot as well.. I think it has to do with charging while using though.
Woow thats amazing. Im guessing that those temperatures can be harmful to the phone right?
I use system info from the market to check my phone status very useful

My phone was just laying in shotgun of my car with the car charger plugged in and the display on, then all of a sudden I picked it up and it was hella hot! 120° read SetCPU and I got shook, ripped the battery out and threw the phone in front of an AC but then I got worried that the extremities could possibly warp the board, so now Im thinking Im going to return my phone! In no way can this be good for the phone, I don't see how it can not get affect it when reaching 120, 130, 140 degrees!!! Im worried that in a week, a month, a year from now something will go terribly wrong and I really don't want to risk it, so I'm real close to returning this phone and just waiting for the Nexus!
I am amazed that a phone getting hot after heavy use is such a surprise to everyone. See any fans? see any ventilation? Here you are using a dual core 1.5 GZ processor, what were you expecting, ice water?
Ahh... Set CPU. So you can't really find the temp until you're rooted?
Hmm

Who mentioned anything about heavy usage and overclocking? CPU is 1.2Ghz stock buddy and I wasn't doing anything on my phone at the time it overheated...I have a Droid Incredible 2, and I run its CPU OC to 2.035Ghz and its never once gone over 105 degrees, so before you go getting all amazed, get your facts straight!
I have noticed this too.
With the phone simply in my pocket, my leg would feel warm. I could grab the phone and the phone would feel quite hot. Not so hot that it would burn my ear, but warm enough that it would feel like there's some kind of problem. Usually, heat = battery getting drained. When I check to see if there's anything running, there's nothing...
Right now, have been listening to Spotify for over 2 hours, and it's cold as ambient temperature. Will try installing some monitoring program and report if I notice more heat issues. I know the Evo3D used to get "burns my ear" hot when using it as GPS while connected to the car charger. My guess was that if the screen is on, and there's power going to it, it'd always get hot. Maybe it wasn't supposed to and that was just my assumption. However, same thing happens to this one; watching netflix, or playing a game, or anything demanding, and if I'm plugged, it will get really hot, really fast. If not connected, it won't get as hot, but "normally" hot nonetheless.

That you know of, did they ever fix the issue on the Evo3D?
Let me put it another way. I don't see any process or feature that will cool down the phone when in moderate to heavy use. I expect it to get hot. I have always thought, how are they going to disperse the heat?

Mine got hot on day 1 from youtube and general setup but after a full nights charge it has been great for 2 full days, no heating up or anything weird.
But man did it get hot!
Edit: I turned off gps the night this happened. I have been using my phone alot and have not experienced this again.
You need a dose of Penicillin and Cortizone. The burning sensations should clear up. In the mean time, stay away from strange phones and turn off the vibration loop - LOL
Sorry, but I've done quite a bit with my phone (videos, NetFlix, etc...) and it doesn't get warm enough to burn.
An Intel CPU (i7, for example) can run at 200 degrees Fahreneheit. In fact, the roof is about 100 degrees Celsius. To protect the CPU, there are heatsinks, fans, water cooling, etc. Video cards can also go up to 70 degrees celsius before showing artifacts; some can do much better.
We're commenting a heat that is not nearly that much for a phone. IF the SOC gets to 100 degrees celsius, that's one thing; 100 degrees fahrenheit...that is the temperature in many places around here.
These SOC don't need such fans, heatsinks, etc, because they're not supposed to reach temps of 200 degrees. They should be self contained.
On my Evo3D, which I passed on to my father, I could smell like something was burning. It wasn't, but it smelled like if it were, around the battery. Yeah, it still gets hot when in use, and specially if connected.
I believe there's also comments that on all new phones, the first few charges, while the battery adapts, the phone may be hot. Of course it had been over 2 months on my Evo3D and it still gets hot.
The E4gT is doing better today, but I haven't thrown any video/games at it yet; nor has it been in my pocket.
I'd say give it a couple days. I know I've reported my own concern, and I'll be checking it to make sure the "hotness" is within reasonable limits.

My phone has a tendancy to get really hot at times. Even in my pocket. Not sure why but its happened on the stock from as well as the 4.0.3 build. Just wondering if its the nature of this beast or if I should consider exchanging for a new one.
I noticed it ran hotter than it should have been my first two days with the phone (I'm LTE). Even on calls. But ever since this weekend, it magically just stopped running hot altogether. I was doing some heavy usage stuff last night and it was barely warm.
Didn't do any changes to it either so it's puzzling. Wish I can give you a better explanation.
Yes, noticed that today, but only when playing games. Any other time it is nice and cool. I suspect the protective casing I got for my GN does not help. I am not using LTE by the way
I was streaming Google Music from LTE, HOT POTATER
Only a little, but my point of comparison is my thunderbolt that would get so hot when in heavy use I'd wonder if it would explode on me

Dammmm always the same thing, I thought this was going to fix with this new version of android but I see this problem of overheating continuing, I not understand until we have to deal with this problem, for the love of god any company that corrects this problem.
The only time my phone got seriously hot was watching a two hour netflix movie over mhl. And honestly i was more concerned about the battery temperature. Even gaming my phone gets nice and warm but pales in comparison to the heat output watching that movie on netflix. Of the 33% battery i lost watching it, i think most of that loss was due to heat. Watching a movie on amazon instant video over mhl was comparable to playing a game where heat was concerned. I only lost about 10% battery watching a 2 hour movie then. Also note my gpu is @ 384 mhz and i'm undervolted quite nicely.

Um do you have any idea how difficult it is to passively cool a multi core processor running at over 1ghz packaged next to radios, batteries, and other misc electronic components. Oh and let's not forget wrapped in a 9mm thin shell with zero venting. Wtf do you expect

man I love my android phone and have had more than 4, but this is a problem and suck at this point in the game, the only thing that I respect the iphone is to control the heating, and they can do that android should be able to equally.....that's my opinion and the only downside that I see android.
Mine gets a little warm occasionally, especially when gaming or streaming netflix, but not enough to be of concern. I had the RAZR before this and it would actually get uncomfortably hot against my face during phone calls, so the Nexus is a welcome change.
I agree with Slowhatch. Passive cooling can only go so far, especially with no vents. Personally, I'm amazed that these devices can stay as cool as they do.
Finally made it to a VzW to play with my next phone (NE2 up on Dec 29th) and noticed this as well. Nexus felt massively hot compared to Rezound and Razr. But I also spent a good amount of time toying with it and letting my fiancée play with it. The Rezound was kinda cool... Razr is as pathetic as its older namesakes.
I don't care though, I'm buying a Nexus even if my pants do burn up.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
I'm slightly worried about mine. It gets hot for seemingly no reason (even while browsing the web sometimes).
Maybe I'll do a bit of an undervolt and see how things go.
ya...i too have same problem with my cell
had the first samsung galaxy s and at one point had to have them replace it when overheating ruined the screen. my LTE GNEX heats up I notice when on the phone and ocasionally at other times which does have me worried given my past experience with samsung phone
just in case anyone is interested:
watching an hd mkv using mx video player with HW acceleration on: top right part of the g.nex gets burning hot after 20-30min. (i gues that's where the cpu/gpu is located)
you can decrease this by swiping out all other apps running in background and switching to SW or SW-Fast acceleration, frame rate stays perfectly smooth and voice sync is ok and cpu/gpu temperature remains warm instead of coal hot.
The last two days I have noticed if I run any data intensive app(i.e. internet radio) my phone reaches extremely high temperatures in excess of 115 degrees. Is anyone else seeing this? I could see this becoming a serious problem if it continues.

Same here.
Although, its not too bad. The device gets hot at the same region (top of the phone, near there camera). I've had the phone for 2 weeks now. Done plenty of research, still trying to decide if I should return the phone (if this is hardware issue).
So far, read a bunch of forums and threads with ppl saying the same thing in different ways. Haven't heard from any one who says their gnex does not get hot during heavy use. What I have read, are some ppl saying it heats up less as more time passes.

I ran a little test while using Navigation, screen on, no protective case on. This is with a freshly booted phone, so no other apps running. Data is cpu temps using Temp+CPU Pro app.
Not charging: 102 deg. F
Charging: 112 deg. F
Charging and with silicon case on : 115 deg. F
I would think these temps are well acceptable. If your phone approaches 125-130 deg. f, then I would begin to worry. Surely, there is some overheat mechanism in place??

Under voting helps with this a TON. I took my voltage for 1.5ghz from 1150mv down to 1025mv and it stays much much cooler under full load. Oh and temps won't break your cpu, too much nanny software on this chip. Even over clocked. Over voltage may though =)

hey, how's it going man... has this phone replaced your Asus Transformer Prime? I haven't touched the tablet in a while since owning this phone

Hey dude!
Yup this phone rocks so hard! Yeah I sold the tablet... Still gotta get rid of the dock will probably list it soon.

The phone gets really warm on stock. The cpu has a temp control feature that if it gets too hot it will slow down. The cpu is made to work up to really high temperatures so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If you flash to a custom kernel, they are lowering voltages on some of the frequencies and I am noticing an incredible loss of heat. My phone does not get warm anymore, at least no where near stock.

This. Like faux said some of the chips run the same voltage across many frequencies (in my case 1150mv) I was able to lower them into the 850-1050s which is crazy low. Remember power draw goes up exponentially with voltage change.

Is it possible that the American version (dualcore 2gb ram) doesnt get as hot as the international one (quadcore exynos 1gb ram)?
Mine gets pretty hot as well when i play for long times, i guess the main reason why many people are talking about this is that the Chipsets are located directly at the bottom where you would hold your phone while gaming in portrait mode for example. So you can directly feel it and the heat of your hand further warms the phone My Tegra3 tablet gets pretty hot as well in one spot - where the cpu is, but its not a place you normally place your hands, so you wont even notice that it gets warm.
Same thing was with my previous phone the DesireHD. It never got hot on the places where i held it, so you think it wont heat up at all.
In general though: I have some experience with cpu clocking on PCs and overclocking and stuff. It depends a little on the chipset of course but in general temps like 50-70° C are no problem at all for CPUs.
Workaround on SGSIII: Enable power save mode CPU. It reduces the clock to 1ghz (at least on my rom - stock jelly bean polish release), it still runs most games and UI perfectly smooth in jelly bean but it gets considerably less hot.
if i install many apps at once (testing new roms) my phone gets hot
My Galaxy s3 gets hot
My Normal Temprerature is 90 Fahrenheit
this is normal?
i´m only turned on a wifi, or watch a movie on youtube and my phone is already hot
and with the 4g turned on is more hot around 100 Fahrenheint
i have the t-mobile version. android 4.1.1 jelly bean stock rom
Yeah mine gets pretty hot too... I've seen it hit 105. Very bad for the battery :/
Have you checked for rogue processes? Get GSAM Battery Monitor or Watchdog Lite and see if anything is consuming a lot of CPU cycles.
Also, try CPU Sleeper - it shuts one of the cores off when the phone goes to sleep which gives huge battery savings.
I wouldn't do all that doing something that it wasn't intended to be, shutting down a core. Android does a good job with all that, if it gets really really hot
Buy a new battery or better yet start from scratch see if you get it stock. My s3 never been really hot, and I know what hot is coming from the g2x and the first galaxy now those phones will burn you.

The G2x was nothing compared to the Sensation! OUCH!
And it only shuts a core off when its asleep. You can uninstall the app and it reverts so no harm there.
I have a second battery and it runs on the hot side side as well. My roommate has a white GS3 and I have a titanium GS3 and his battery lasts a hell of a lot longer than mine. It may just be defective. I couldn't get his past 90 degrees.
My battery is running 83/84 degrees, but then I recently changed to a 3200 which fits the original compartment.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, these phones are so random. Kinda like the thing with the dark dots dead pixel when screen is off some come in horrific shape from the box.

How much on screen do you get with that battery and do you have a link? Also, is it NFC enabled? I don't need NFC just curious.
Mine was at about 95-98F when I was tethering and stayed pretty constant. The phone was a bit warm, but not worryingly so (it's gotten hotter).
Honestly, I don't think it's a big deal these temperatures seem within normal parameters.

I guess for me the fact the screen gets so hot is what bothers me... and the heat on the back, it goes through my Incipio case (both the rubber and the plastic) and its hot at the bottom of the phone... the temp readings are battery only since it seems the processor doesn't have a temperature monitor - that or none of the kernels support it.
galaxy s3 high temp
10 mins of subway surfers and my s3 gets to 107-110 . Is this normal. I have hard reset the device and running on jelly beans 4.1.2 with minimum applications loaded. Normal temprature of the device when idle is 89 to 95. Only the bottom half of the screen gets hot. Took it to the service center they did nothing but reformat it.
