I'm not sure if anyone has noticed it so far.. when charging the phone, and you do intensive WIFI/3G downloads (like updating apps from Play for example), the back of the phone at the camera area becomes really hot after awhile, and the LED indicator, which normally shows a always-on Orange light, will start to blink orange-green-orange-green...
After a day of experimenting, i think that the orange-green blinking is an indicator to tell us that the phone is running too hot, and needs to cool down before charging can continue..
anyone has similar experience?
Camera = hot spot

I have beed using one x for last 2 days, charged it twice fully but it does not get too hot, a lill hot while charging but no bliking led as you said
*#*#4636#*#* > choose Battery Information
The temperature and status will be listed there. I'm guessing that it stops charging at 50c

it doesn't get that hot if you're not using the phone while charging, but try charging AND using the wifi/3G at the same time. within 10 minutes, my phone got pretty hot at the camera area.
I had a flashing led last night too

do you mean while charging or with normal use itself ?
All smartphones have this problem including SGS2 and Iphone 4s.
If you use max brightness + games for more than 10 mins it will get very warm no matter what's the brand or model you use.
The only treatement is to decrease brightness or downclock the CPU with SetCPU (temp profiles)

install battery indicator and check the how miuch the battery is heated, I have checked it quite a few times and it should within 30-32 C which is normal
dont find it getting heated with normal use, I am keeping the player on for many hours and calls etc, only when I charge it gets a bit warm but again not hot I would say

Not excactly but it became also hot for all when I charge
Orange green indicator will happen when you are charging the phone (orange) and when you have a notification (missed call, msg, downloaded app). Heating up happens naturally when you do work on your phone while charging. It will happen even if you do nothing while charging.
A Dutch website called Tweakers.net tested the temperature in comparison to other phones, and found it got hotter than other phones when used intensively. See attachment image to see what I mean.
What is says: "toestel" = device. "frontpage" means they let the browser display the frontpage of their website. Shadowgun is an intense 3D game from the market. "Shadowgun + lader" means playing Shadowgun while connected to the charger.
I only experience the high temperature when playing games on my phone for 5 mins onwards. Charging is fine. I think mine is working pretty fine considering I resides in Singapore where everyday is summer.

I forgot to mention they also say that this heat is felt through the entire body of the phone, as where on other handsets the heat is concentrated in one place.
It's perfectly normal dude!
It's the screen that gets hot and because the One X has a 4.7'' screen it's all over the phone

i never leave the screen over half the brightness so hope its just this
i'm starting to be concerned honestly, Desire/Nexus 1 are operating at their maximum thermal capacity and it used to get hot too, Desire HD has snapdaragon2 with very relaxed thermals and to be honest i don't like to have a hot rod in my hands, the DHD always feels pleasantly cold
the thermal image posted by DomCowell seems fine and normal when compared with other phones....i dont know

Hey guys I have a HTC ONE x the quad core version and recently the weather has been getting warm in the UK. Yesterday I took my phone out of my pocket and I had fully charged it previously and the phone had dropped from 100% battery life to 15% in like 1 hour. Also I felt the back of my device and its was really hot.
Should I be worried about this?

Yes, you should be worried for 2 reasons:
1. You might be having a faulty battery
2. You might be having a rogue app that's sucking your battery
It's more likely the second reason than the 1st. Install betterbatterystats (BBS) app and check what's running in the background and force close that app. If there's nothing fishy in BBS, then I'd say to charge it fully again restart the phone and then check the battery drain..if it's still there, then get a replacement...

Sometimes when I charge my phone, the led starts flickering green and red quite fast. I searched and it seems that he is uncharging... Is that because is is overheating?

Yeah apparently that is overheating if that happens you need to disconnect the charger of if your playing games whilst its charging stop
Open system menu by dialing 3845#*980#, go down the list, find items "High temperature property OFF" and "Thermal mitigation daemon OFF", check them both to Enabled ON state. PROFIT! I don't know maybe the reboot is needed or not. But with thermal mitigation daemon disabled you can achieve as high as 24700 in Antutu and the screen would not dim in hot conditions anymore
And of course don't forget that if you damage your phone somehow by overheating it or shorten you battery capacity its not us to blame. Be a reasonable guy with your hardware
Of course tweak can be applied to any LG Phone, say to E970, for example

So this doesn't increase the cpu speed from 1700 to 1900? How fast will the cpu run to achieve 24000+ score on Antutu?

Now, it won't automatically go higher than 1700, it merely will not drop to 1100 or whatever speed stated in thermal.conf in case of matching thermal threshold and just will continue to work on 1700. In fact I don't think it will somehow "damage" SoC, it's just meant to save your hand from holding 50°C device while gameplaying

Thanks for this! Always wondered why this phone stayed so cool. Benchmarks are higher, games run smoother and so far it looks like the occasional but horrible home screen lag I get while using live wallpaper (any launcher) seems to be gone so far.
I'm cautiously optimistic that this will fix the lag, but I'm sure you're right, it seems like the phone randomly idles some cores causing the lag. Hopefully we see some custom kernels for this device soon.
Thanks again.

Notice in the last screen shot how Antutu usually warms the phone up to the point where it only runs at 1.1 ghz. Also in quadrant, I'd get anywhere between 11000 and 8000 in testing, now it is consistently in the 12000 range. Awesome!

Because the setting is to turn off the thermal control. So by checking the box to on you are turning it off. It will always say off, as long as the box is set to on then it is working.

Do you get more screen time with throttling turned on? Or is it just about the same?
I noticed it got pretty warm after only playing pinball arcade for 15 minutes I have used it for hours before without it getting warm. I might have to turn the throttling back on just to be on the safe side. Call me a wuss

Wuss. The gs4 and many of other Android device and iphones practically melt your hands while gaming. That said, my phone has remained quite cool unless charging and even still it stays under 100 degree.

I just got 24779 on Antutu on first run with this change. Pretty sweet and temp was sitting at 40 right after I did the test. Quadrant is giving me 11774. The temp never goes above 40c. Please post your results to compare.

A couple of weeks ago I got Cyanogenmod on my Tab, from that point the battery life has been horrible, the battery percentage goes down by the minute and it goes down when I'm using it while charging too! This is a huge problem for me because I'm always using my Tab Pro. I want to know why this happens and if I can fix it.

A few things to check.
You really do need the 2.1A charger, not a 1.5A charger, if you hope to charge while running.
Ensure under Settings - WiFi - Advanced that "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is off.
Ensure same area "Scanning always available" is off.
CM seems to have a problem with Exchange servers, so if you're syncing to Exchange, change from push to polled.

The software predicts more drain based on your usage, and when you stop using the phone you get back 1-2%. Happens on other phones not just the g4.

That drain was because I played Real Racing 3...

LG g4 battery percentage is listed according to the battery voltage, which varies with the temperature.
So you don't have to worry.
