This summer, I bought this phone but sold it after a week because it had a ton of problems, including overheating. Today, I bought the phone again, because I wanted to give it another chance. Right now, in the middle of winter with less than 20C in my room, I was playing Temple Run when I started noticing the phone was getting warmer. I thought "well, this is normal, I have been playing a 3D game for about 20 minutes, I bet it hasn't overheated like it happened this summer, that one was probably defective too, it's just getting a bit warm, that's all", but guess what? I quitted temple run, ran a Quadrant session, and yeah, it had overheated and reduced its performance like it happened last time. Halved performance due to overheating, exactly like it happened this summer, 3000 points instead of the usual 6000+ it gets.
I. CAN'T. BELIEVE. IT.
I guess it's my fault though, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
This phone is such a piece of crap it gave me the most buyer's remorse I've ever had.
6000 points on Quadrant? The max I got was around 3400...
Anyway, I think it is normal to a device to overheat and lose performance when it gets hotter. Same for too cold (under 0ºC). The colder, the better the performance. That's why all eletronics should be kept cool.
I could have excused it for overheating during summer with 35C room temperature, but with less than 20C and after just less than one hour?
How is this acceptable? Seriously, what is wrong with this phone?
I am raging uncontrollably right now. I can't believe I was so stupid to get this turdphone TWICE before realizing it was indeed a massive stinking turd.
And yeah, it's not 6000 points but 3500, when it overheats it gets much less, and I notice it's happening even before the score gets displayed, because usually the planet thingy runs at 60FPS but when it's overheated it runs at around 40.
GOD DAMN.
Oh and by the way, if it overheats during gameplay, it also overheats during web browsing or EVERYTHING really. And EVERY SINGLE XPERIA S IN EXISTENCE has this problem. Yours too.
You better not use it too much, or it might overheat and start running slower than a X10. What, you bought your phone to use it? LOLZ.
/sarcasm
definitely rom/kernel problem.. what's rom u use? have u update it to latest .55? u unlock the bootloader? u just b*tching without give any details.
the colder the hardware is not the better the performance, there's something called operating temp. usually u cant use the hardware if it's not in its operating temp (like PC processer, it cant boot when 0 degree Celsius, but booting fine at 30 degrees or -27 (subzero) degrees). if u get lower performance, usually it's because the driver/applications that order the processor to lower itself.
when i was using custom stock rom, i've played Nova 3 with my friends (wifi) for around 45 minutes, and it hasnt got lags, sure the phone was very hot, but the performance wasnt drop. now im using cm10, still got no lags when playing games (Trial Xtreme 3 is very fun & challenging and surely a phone heater, ive spent bout 2 hours playing, got low battery, charging it (thx for the fast charging) for 1 hour and half, then playing it again.. still got no lags )
so, surely the problems is in the rom.. since ur in xda, try fix it urself... if u wont, just f*kin' sell it
About overheat on my phone, yeah it does sometimes. During summer it can get up to 40C (the ambient, not phone), the phone overheats while using for browsing, but I think it's normal.
It gets hot when playing NFS:MW, the performance drops but I just have to leave there for 30 min and its good again.
The phone generally gets up to 43 C when playing...

Dude. I'm playing it in my room, with 17C room temperature. After less than one hour of that crappy game Temple Run, the phone got hot, and out of nowhere I decided to test if it had clocked down like it happened during the summer, and it did. I'm fully stock, locked bootloader, stock rom with only some bloatware removed. As soon as your phone gets hot, try to run quadrant and you will see your performance will have reduced. I think you can also see your CPU speed has gone down to 800Mhz.
And by the way, like I said before, I'm on my second XPS, and the first one also overheated, so I guess they all do that. I think you may have noticed the phone becoming laggy after some heavy usage sessions.
Anyway, I am not sure if every phone somehow clocks itself down when it gets hot and then starts running like crap until it cools down again, but on all the phones I've used in my life, this is the only one that does it and after such a short period of heavy usage. It's just ridiculous, there should be class actions up sony's ass for this, but it seems like I'm the only one who realized this happens and literally cripples the phone's performance until you stop using it, basically.

If the phone kept at full speed, it would heat even more at the point of damaging the internal components.

I am not retarded, I know how overheating works, I'm an IT technician and I deal with overheating bleeping computers all day long.
The point is, the phone SHOULD NOT overheat and clock itself down to half the speed after just a few minutes of gameplay. This is ridiculous.
Why are you missing the point?

It overheats, and it should, because you're running a 3D game. Again, it clocks down to avoid bigger overheat and damage. My phone performance keeps the same after 1 hour of playing NFS:MW. It just need a few minutes to start the processes again, since the game use it all.

The thermal throttling kicked in so that's why the OP seeing lowered performance.

God help you it you bought a S3, but seriously time of year is not gonna change a overheating issue and 35-40 is the ideal temp for optimal performance
And I know 4 people in IT, and their knowledge is pretty much on par with yours judging by your posts

Of course the phone should get hot, and if it does the CPU should def do something about it and underclock
Also why do you have to swear so much? girlfriend problems? limp noodle?
also if ur going to buy something to test its gaming prowess, buy a psp or something

thats not permanent, its the app staying in cahced processes just in case it needs relaunching. try ending the process and try benchmarking again
you find removing it from the ram as a process may help
i just ran quadrant on mine
its warm cause im playing music and have tons of crap open. it hasnt slowed down. and its score was 2937. i dont see the issue though? the number means nothing on its own. its a potential comaprison tool

Pffft. Do you even know what you are talking about? It SHOULD NOT overheat, only heat up a bit. Playing a game or doing anything CPU intensive should not OVERHEAT the phone, only heat it up a bit. There is a difference between heating up and OVERheating. Overheating means there is something wrong with the cooling solution, and should not happen unless the cooling system or the chip itself (this case, since a cellphone doesn't have a cooling system) is faulty. Learn what 'overheating' means.

You also have trouble reading and understanding basic english. If I play a game, then quit out of it, and then run quadrant and I get half the score, there is something wrong, that being the CPU clocking itself down to 800Mhz (instead of 1500) because of overheating. OVER HEATING, not simply heating up. Over heating is NOT normal. If I only had too much stuff open, the CPU wouldn't have clocked itself down to 800Mhz, it would have ran at 1500 but with reduced performance in quadrant because of high memory and CPU workload in background stuff.
Anyway, I'm done with you guys. Educate yourselves on how processors, operating systems and electronic devices work then come back.

It's 45 nm, dual core and 1.5 gHz. ofc it got hot. But not overheating. When the hardware is overheating, it'll turn off, u should know that.. I said again, it's the rom/kernel that asked the procie to lower itself when in some temp. mine? I never have this problem since in cm10. Read my posts again. And surely I benchmarked over and over again (antutu) and the scores are vary, but not very much (I even got Max scored at my fifth try, the phone was hot though, but it was alright)
And if u search about xperia s overheating, there are some talks (even here in xda) bout performance hits, etc.. but it was way back there... I thought ppl already learn how to handle this... well, I thought wrong.
Ang if u thought the phone is hot, try playing with HTC one x...

Hi everyone ,
I recently acquired a nexus 7 2013 and i really love it .
The screen is gorgeous , the processor is really super fast , it never lags .
I'm just wondering about one thing :
Whenever i play heavy 3D games such as dead trigger 2 , asphalt 8 and real racing 3 , the tablet gets hot , it even reaches 70+ degrees celsius when i play dead trigger 2 but never exceeds 60 or 65 degrees celsius when it's real racing 3 ? Why does it heat that much when playing dead trigger 2 and not real racing 3 ? Is it a question of optimisation ?? Also , is it normal that the tablet's temperature is about 40 to 50 when i'm surfing and chatting or watching some videos ?
It could be the texture type some of the older ones create more load on the gpu creating more heat and more power drain, I wish ASTC was mandatory for opengl es 3.0/1 hopefully it is in opengl es 3.2 best one at moment is ETC2

However , i don't get it . sorry for being such a newbie .
Asphalt 8 is supposed to be one of the most heavy games when it comes to graphics . what i understood is that some games may be using old textures , but why ? Is it going to be the same for future games ? Because i become really worried when my cpu reaches 70+ c . I know that the adreno 320 inside the nexus 7 2013 is opengl es 3.0 capable , but what is open gl es 3.2 ??

No i'm afraid it's not 75 because last time when my tablet was plugged in i tested asphalt 8 and it became too hot 82 degrees celcius so i guess that thermal throtling is somehow around 85-90 degrees .

But really, the point is that the kernel limits the max cpu temp for you so need to worry. Even 90 degress wont cause harm. Over time though very high temperatures can affect the life of the battery.
Thermal throttling is a completely different concept

I've seen reports that with lates Adreno drivers temperature is lower in heavy games
Anyone has got this problem too ? Should i be too worried? Besides , my battery's temperature never exceeded 28 so my only problem is with the cpu and gpu ? Do you think i should root my nexus 7 and flash a new custom rom like paranoid or cyanogenmod , but i'm afraid i won't be receiving updates from google :/ so where's the point of buying a "google" product ?

You think this is an issue?
For me when i play about 15mins, tablet gets warm near the camera and speakers randomly shuts down.
RMA right now, and needless to say i feel like i sunk $220 into the toilet. (not even mentioning the widespread touch / grounding issues)
It was my first ASUS device and will be a last one. I didnt even had such issues with chinese brands.

Yes i also
Well i too have nexus 7 lte model and i am facing the same problem from a while.... My cpu temperature goes from 60-78°c while gaming........ It is because optimization some games are optimized for tab while others make it damn hot
I started to play kritika and real racing 3. My new G3 gets to 104 degree F when i play kritika for 10 min, but the temp is only between 90- 95 , when not playing any game. i had the phone for 3 days. never had the dim down or auto switch off issues, only this heat. is it normal?? mine is LG G3 D851.
It's normal :good:
coincidentally, the battery inside the G3 says to not let it get hotter than 104F
The game can utilize CPU to the maximum so the unit can get very hot.
Nice, considering the ambient temperature here can reach 120 degrees on a daily basis...
Sent from my LG G3
Today it reached 106 in 7min when playing kritika(heavy graphical game), heats up slowly when playing clash of clan.
Do you think I should replace my device with my carrier?
YES
O yes...playing games with heavy graphics or watch movies for a long period can heat it up pretty quick ...I personally take the case off when playing to help it stay a little cooler, and if i am home i take the back of as well, since i have heard cases of damage from over heating. :good:
I was typing the Battery temp as 104 and 106. cpu is at 120 - 150F

If the back cover gets out of shape or anything,then take it back. Until then, enjoy your Tablet!
Not sure why it gets too hot, mine is the samrle. I still have my 3 y/o gtab 7.7 dual core and it never get too warm for COC. Battery drain on that tablet is minimal as well, feels like you're just browsing, then our quadcore tab S drains too much juice when playing coc
I would put GSam Battery Monitor on your tablet, and set the battery temp alarm to say 50c and then game for a while, if the alarm goes off straight away, them raise the temp to 60c so on, the point of this is for you to know when you should give your tablet a rest to let it cool down before it starts it cause damage.
Below is an link to the free version, you set the alarm temp in the settings , the full version is only approx $2.40

EDIT: I think i will email GSam and ask for them to include an cpu temp alarm, just done it

yah it will get pretty warm/hot to the touch.
I always keep mine in normal power saving mode, seems to help with heat and still run very well.
Sounds like a good idea, though i am not much of a tablet gamer, I prefer my notebook.

I'm currently playing Clash of clans and with time the tablet seems to be kinda hot. I can feel the heat on the back of the tablet.
Is this an overheating issue or its totally normal?
Thanx

dont worry at all mate , after all there are 8 cores inside that beast your holding and its a electronic device what else could come out of it when your pushing it except heat the heat is normal all you have to keep in mind is not to play with your tablet while its on charge , cuz heat can kill your battery and lower it life spin , so keep it as cool as you can while its charging mate
