I preordered the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint the week before the release, and I've been having heat issues since I got it.
So I paid for "TempMonitor" on Google Play so I could monitor the temperature of the battery but the battery was only 40c and rarely goes above 45c. The CPU however is what is getting hot. When I say this thing gets hot, I mean it, and only while charging and in use. If its not charging, it will get warm but not hot like I'm talking. During light usage the CPU will rise to 55c or more and while playing a game it has gone as high as 65c, it burns to touch the screen at these temperatures and when it gets hot like this the touch screen also becomes unresponsive for multitouch.
Already starred the issue #23044 on android's google code page for the multitouch issues though.
Exchange if possible. Those temps seem to high to offset by anything you can do tweaking wise. Or you have something rogue using cpu cycles keeping the heat up.

Do you have a case? My Seidio Active does a GREAT job at insulating the heat coming off the phone and holding it in.
If I'm playing a CPU/GPU intense game or app, it'll easily be 15 degrees warmer with the case than without it.
I do have a case so that's probably the reason. Mostly silicon rubber. I've just never had a phone get so hot I thought it was unusual.
I use Watchdog Lite to monitor background apps for high CPU usage and it rarely ever goes off. The only app I use that it notifies me about is Facebook which has the tendency to use 40-50% CPU while in the background
This phone does get hot when I'm on the internet and only then its the top half where I imagine the CPU is

I took off the case.and have been browsing these forums. Still running as hot as 65c with random jumps in temperature. It will go from 55 to 65 in a matter of seconds.
Over 3G? That would be almost normal. Also stock correct? I get a little bit warm over wifi browsing so I would assume some heat over poor 3G signal.

Well I just got mine today... Its FA44EWM... and its a fireball just like my M7. GSAM was reporting 109F when it was setting up initially. Couldn't even hold the thing.
Reviews said that it doesn't get hot at all so I don't know what's up with it. I'll use it for a few days and report back. Anyone else having temperature issues? I'm afraid its going to fry the camera like the M7 :\
I noticed my m8 got pretty hot when streaming video through the my dji quadcopter app. In normal use it does not seem to have any issues. The aluminum body is supposed to be a great heat sink.
I guess I'll just have to watch it then. I knew it was too good to be true asking for a Qualcomm SoC that doesn't have heat issues... At least its not the Sensation I guess.
I just ran a stability test with Antutu... Its actually not that bad although if it was on the charger, it would be problematic. Topped out at 108F/42C, started at 86F/30C
Other than that, everything is perfect on this phone. Not a single build quality imperfection, great LCD, surprisingly nice camera, and better signal than the M7 had. I don't regret it at all, the heat is just disappointing. My UAG Maverick will be here on Wednesday along with my 32GB microSDHC UHS-I card I got from Amazon for 25 bucks.

Mines has no heat issues. Only heats up during intense gaming, benchmarking, and for some reason it heats up when the battery dips below 20% but only to a warm touch except for gaming it heats up tremendously. Even with my screen brightness all the way up it doesn't heat up ridiculously. Overall it's fantastic.. give it a few days or send it back for a replacement.

Same here, I haven't had any heating issues, phone is always cool to the touch.
How odd... it appears to be settling in or something. I just did a run with Brave Frontier (a game which is a great way to overheat your phone) with it plugged into the charger and its at 102F. The One would be at 113F by now and no longer charging as a result. I think I'll watch it for a bit. I seem to remember that my M7 actually hit 119 when I first got it and then settled down to a normal max of 110 with it rarely hitting 113 on the charger.
If Brave Frontier didn't overheat it, nothing will. Brave Frontier actually has a dedicated question in their FAQ for LG G2s overheating and its overheated my Nexus 7 before and crashed more than once as a result so this is actually kind of impressive. I'll report back as I use the device.

I've seen 11x degrees while charging, streaming google play music, using the GPS, and running ingress all with the phone mounted on a sunny dashboard. My device is my car infotainment system so it gets used heavily in the car. It doesn't always get that warm but definitely warm to the touch. Eliminate a few of those things and it will cool down but I would still call it warm when playing a game. Unless someone tells you exactly what they're doing with the device you should take temperature reports with a grain of salt. There are a lot of variables and unless you make them the same you can't compare two different usage patterns. I'm guessing it would stay cooler if you kept the CPU and GPU underclocked but if you run them at their specified clock speeds the device will heat up. Simply checking e-mail or web browsing will keep my device cool to the touch as well.
I've only used my phone for light stuff like browsing Twitter, Reddit, etc., but doing so causes my phone to noticeably warm up as if doing some heavy duty stuff, especially if on max brightness. It heats up faster/easier than my Nexus 5. Anybody else noticing this? I think I'm gonna go to T-mobile tomorrow and tell them, but I wanna make sure that I'm not tripping.
Mine got quite hot when I was downloading a lot of apps in a row. It gets warm on normal browsing but not hot.
Same here, updating apps from the play store, video watching etc. Wil cause the back side, at the middle section to heat up.

I've been having that issue also. Haven't really figured out. Just know when that happens, battery drains fast.. think it's an app eating up battery creating heat but haven't figured out which one...
I am having the exact same issue. I'm thinking about switching my phone through T-Mobile and going with the M9 because I'm not hearing of this issue at all on the M9.
Yea. I'm definitely getting lots of heat on my S6 Edge as well, especially while running multiple apps while updating Google play apps.
yes I am also facing those heating issues..
I was first told that all phones get hot if you use them while charging but then it has happened thrice now even when I am not charging it.
The heat is pretty bad right at the end of your right thumb..
Had my S6 Edge a week and I'm surprised I haven't had any heat. I use the web a lot but I haven't played games on it yet.
Mine also
Mine is also getting hot with normal usage... I think I should move to SC
Yep. I also have the s6 Edge, and the heat was pretty much unbearable. I was within my 14 day return, so I have the HTC M9 on the way. It was reported HTC fixed most of the over heating issues with the M9 before launch. I will see. This phone will more than likely be returned to T-Mobile if Samsung doesn't come out with a fix soon. I could see this becoming a huge issue after launch since this phone is made out of glass and metal.
I had the Xperia Z1s which had a glass front and back and the HTC M7 and M8 and they all felt hot after using them for a while, once you put a case on them it gets less noticeable. I just assumed it would be the exact same since the S6 uses both glass and aluminum. But yes it does get hot after a while lol.
warming up
guy's i have same issue like u
but , i disable some bloatware useless apps , and warming is better now ,test it and let other knows.
test more ,and make this better
Mine only gets hot if I'm charging while doing a lot of stuff on the phone. After the OTA I did a factory reset and it seemed to fix the "always hot" issue.
Heating up is a good thing. It means you have a good thermal path from the internals to the external metal chassis. If the device stayed cool to the touch while working it would mean the internals would be at much higher temperatures and throttling would kick in to prevent breaching SOA.
That said, it should not get so hot that you cannot hold it, like a hot potato!
firmware?

I have a 64gb G6E running OCG.
Well i had an S6 for some days and then got the M9
I can easily say that the M9 is the same as the S6 if not cooler. It has already been proven that the S6's CPU reaches much higher temperatures than the M9 under a medium load
By the help of CPU-Z, it was detected that the S6 CPU reaches a whoping 66℃ if you just open the camera and take a pic
While in the M9, after a half an hour of Mortal Combat X, it reached 59℃
Mind you that these temperatures are CPU TEMPs not Battery/skin temps
S6 internal design is credited to be honest for putting the CPU away from the battery by a nice distance, so the battery doesn't heat up! When the CPU was 66℃ the battery was 31℃ !!!
But in the M9, the CPU is covering the battery, so when the CPU heats up, the battery heats up also. In the case when the CPU was 59℃ the battery was 45-44℃ which is considered to be warmer than the S6's 31℃
However the M9's metal casing helps in heat dissipation a LOT!! just leave the phone for a minute or two, and the phone will cool down very fast. It can cool down all over to 36℃ from 44℃ in three minutes!! Which means that throttling effect will be removed and you can enjoy your device's full potential again in the S6, if the phone heats up badly, the temperature is preserved as the glass is a bad thermal conductor. Also the phone might be very hot to touch in the upper right quadrant of the device in thr CPU side, while the M9 will feel warm all over the device.
So conclusion, the S6's 14 nm SoC heats up more than the M9's 20 nm SoC, but the skin temperature of the M9 is higher than the S6's but it is not annoying, and cools down very fast! If the S6 feels cooler, it is because the CPU is positioned far from the battery, not because it is built on a 14 nm process :laugh:
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 ZTE Axon 7 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 have not noticed any excessive heat. Probably the coolest of all my past phones.

Agree it has been the coolest phone I have owned. The other phones I have owned have both got very hot which has made the phones very slow (CPU throttling?). The Axon 7 has stayed quite cool to the touch even when using things like GPS and camera.
Nexus 6p (toaster)
Oneplus One (hot)
HTC M7 (hot)
iPhone 5s (mild)
Axon 7 (cool)
Warm/Hot
Got my Axon 7 today been using it for a few hours was warm throughout my usage, gave it a charge and was really warm/hot. Battery life wasn't all that great either, people are getting 5-6 SOT with a full charge, it came with 85% out of the box and used it for around 2~2.5 hours and it was down to 20% with brightness below 50% wasn't impressed. I'm hoping it'll get better with more use as this phone is pretty great
If you play all day of course you wont get 6 hrs of SoT.

Yup and Yup....
Comparing the Axon 7 to previous devices, A7 win by a long shot.
I play PSP Games (this is hard on CPU+GPU) and doesn't transform into a toaster.
I've gotten 6.5 hours of screen on time, but this is with conservative use: web browsing/video watching with extremely low brightness settings.
When playing Star Wars KOTOR, I've only gotten ~3.5 hours of play time. Brightness heavily affects the drain speed.
it gets barely warm enough to notice it working at all.
Got hot in pocket while doing nothing, GSam showed 38-40 celsius. Started today, exactly after 1 week when I got it. While using it it gets warm a little, but nothing serious compared to my old phones.
Axon 7 Battery Temperature
Hi guys my Axon 7 is running the latest update (7.1.1) and my battery's temperature is 29°c when idling and the room's temperature is also 29°c, but when I start using social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat ,it gets around 37° and if I use Chrome for web surfing it gets around 40°c, so is this normal for Axon 7? And also if I use so heavy multitasking like downloading over mobile data, watch online videos , two sims both activated , and ten other apps open at the same time but no games , the temperature sometimes goes up to 45°c. What is your Axon 7's battery temperature in different situations?please also mention the room temperature that you're in. ( to see the temperature go to settings/ power manager/ battery cooling)
With Gsam Battery, it says 43 celcius when charging or reddit/games...
It was under 35c a few weeks ago
It is normal for many phones.
And the temp alert settings of the axon7 are very useful as I sit in sunlight very often and most times forget about phone temperature
My Axon 7 heats up fast when I used aze
The battery monitor reports overheat warning after 20 minutes of using the GPS app called Waze. The temp would reach 46°C easily. I don't get this issue when I use the Google Map.
I have seen temperatures in excess of 50C when in direct sunlight in my hot car while using GPS (no A/C in my car).
Playing Hearthstone in my warm room can exceed 40C, which is where I have the warning set to.
I hope I'm not slowly killing the device or battery...
My A2017G gets a little hot (but definitely usable) when charging. Unplug it and it'll cool down pretty quickly.
But then that might be because I keep the phone on all the time (got an always-on screen app running just for screen-off OK Google)
This phone doesn't get hot. You guys don't know what's hot until you have used a Xperia M4 Aqua
My Xperia M4 Aqua could reach temps of steady 82C while gaming and 74C while watching Youtube
I've been getting issues using mine as a GPS with here maps. Battery heat warnings and yes, it felt hot, not to mention the app is causing navigation problems a lot.
Installed TomTom, see if it works better. It has some better UI and settings already.
If it doesn't run cooler I might buy a dedicated GPS but really don't want another device in the car.....

That's really weird, my phone never gets hot while using GPS and driving. Are you sure you're not putting the phone in direct sunlight?
Yeah, of course it had sun on it. You need it able to access GPS signal reliably for good navigation.
It was in a screen mount. I was using it heaps today on TomTom app with much more success and less heat. Seems there's something not right with Here Maps.

You don't need the sunlight directed onto the device.
I got a mount on my with a shieldscreen to protect it from sunlight so it won't get cooked. I am guessing you're enjoying a cooked phone while driving

Got the phone today, and it feels very cold to the touch. Most of the heat It gained was from my own hands... though it is winter. I then put a silicon transparent case, and after setting everything up I did some google cardboard vr for around 30 minutes and felt a light warmth through the case... barely noticeable.
Mine is getting pretty warm after rooting, making a nandroid backup, and flashing xposed. Not quite uncomfortable, but very noticeable.
My phone has only heated up a couple of times, and that was when I really used it, games and such.. Otherwise it's really "dead" to the touch.
If you want to heat it up, use some benchmarks, or if you want to be more productive, use mapillary outside and photomap your area around.
Yes.. it's getting heated very often even I use for 5mins.. I got phone today only(23-12-2016). Please suggest a solution.

For me its exact the same thing...
Of course its gonna heat up if your cpu and gpu are working at max speed all the time.. its normal
First day when I flashed custom rom, installed all apps, rooted, twrp and all that it was hot to the touch because the reason above but now when I use it in a normal way its actually cold to the touch most of the times and I love that
I rooted mine and installed a rom really got hot then I changed to a different rom and it is very cool now.
OnePlus 3T is a really cool device. I suggest users to buy it. It has very cool features like Fingerprint access, Camera etc.
But if anyone gets Official TWRP for Android 7.0 for OnePlus 3T, Please tell me*
Never felt any kind of heat through the case (Orzly 2-part case).
Never been an issue.
i have noticed it's evenly warm when it shouldn't be. try enabling "Auto close high power usage apps" battery options.
the description makes me laugh. engrish.
"When it runs, the system auto clean up background power-hungry apps , prevent phone from getting hot."
It doesn't warm up much, if at all, for me, but I am using a rom that underclocks the CPU which could be the primary reason for this.
On 3.5.4 I would have occasional heating after a phone call. Battery stats would show that the phone was using the CPU for extended periods after the call had ended. Usually a deep clean of the ram would solve it. Sometimes it didn't solve and then a reboot would solve the problem. Phone was completely stock.
It was comparatively very cool throughout with the CPU temps being in the mid 20s or low 30s even during charging at 3.4A with the dash charger!

Heating issue
Got my phone few days ago its heating when i am playing clash of clans but otherwise no issues in normal mode.
Nvm
The phone stays cool to the touch even under heavy gaming. (Max 35C on cpu)
Heating hasn't been an issue so far. Had an app causing constant 70% CPU usage and the device was just slightly warm
my phone getting hot sometimes idk why
Any manufacter could make a super cool phone by just setting an agressive thermal profile. Oneplus 3/3T doesnt throttle at all, not with gaming. The phone gets warm, but you have to consider that it's using his full potencial. I prefer a hot phone (not the case) than a cool phone with half of the power the soc offers.
